After being reborn, I'm no longer going to play the role of a spoiled rich kid.

Chapter 163 Power
"Ok?"

Jiang Lingyu couldn't help but laugh when she thought about that day.

“My older brother said that he had a big fight with He Maochun over a woman, and he couldn’t bear the shame. Hahaha, you didn’t see how ugly Wei Mingshu’s face was back then, it was ashen.”

Yu Sijia also laughed; she hadn't expected Jiang Chengjie to be so disrespectful to Wei Mingshu.

Didn't your mother say anything?

Logically speaking, Jiang Lingyu's protective mother shouldn't have stood idly by after Jiang Chengjie trampled on Wei Mingshu's dignity like that.

Jiang Lingyu wiped away the tears of laughter from the corners of her eyes. "What could she say? It's quite a coincidence. If Wei Mingshu and He Maochun had fought for someone else, that would be one thing, but the central figure in this fight is Zhou Qichun. Now, everyone in the circle knows who Zhou Qichun is and who he's associated with. Everyone keeps their mouths shut, but they know exactly what's going on. My eldest brother is marrying into the Hu family. If they really put my second brother in the best man position, wouldn't that be a joke? It's not like we're really trying to cause trouble for the Hu family."

Now that Zhou Qichun is considered Hu Baoshan's "stepmother," how could she let her stepmother's ex-boyfriend be her best man at her wedding?

If Wei Mingshu really did become the best man, the Jiang and Hu families would probably become a laughing stock in the eyes of others at today's wedding.

After Yuska figured it out, she couldn't help but laugh.

"By the way, what did Zhou Qichun want with you yesterday?" Jiang Lingyu asked. She could indeed think highly of someone like Zhou Qichun, but only slightly. More than that, she was wary. "She's not a simple character."

You Sijia didn't hide anything and told Jiang Lingyu about the preliminary consensus she had reached with Zhou Qichun the day before.

Jiang Lingyu raised an eyebrow, then chuckled, "Wouldn't you say that Tang Yayi shot herself in the foot?"

Yustia tilted her head and thought for a moment, then smiled.

Tang Yayi's idea of ​​making Wei Ning famous was simple: she felt she could leverage the resources behind Wei Ning.

The artists she's currently promoting in her company are almost all from families with a little money who can provide some financial support.

It's no wonder Zhou Qichun was dissatisfied that Wei Ning was taking away Zhou Qichun's share of the pie.

"I wonder if she'll regret it once she realizes that Wei Ning, the nominal adopted daughter of the Ling family, is really nothing special," Jiang Lingyu said.

Yu Sijia: "Who cares about her? She's only interested in taking shortcuts. With Tang Cheng's huge fortune, she can squander it for quite some time."

The two were in a relatively high position, so they could naturally see a great distance.

As soon as You Sijia finished speaking, she turned her head and saw Xie Yuci's figure.

Logically speaking, Xie Yuci wouldn't normally receive invitations to such weddings or banquets, but Xie Yuci's current status is indeed somewhat unusual.

Among the professors in China who work on targeted drugs for the lungs, Xie Yuci is undoubtedly the most outstanding.

It took considerable effort for Kote Pharmaceuticals to recruit Xie Yuci from abroad.

It can now be said that Xie Yuci alone accounts for the majority of the main business revenue of Kotei Pharmaceuticals each year.

Jiang Chengjie couldn't help but be envious of such talent, especially after he wanted to take over the family's pharmaceutical factory and research institute.

Therefore, Xie Yuci, a professor at a research institute, also received an invitation to today's wedding banquet.

Xie Yuci was clearly looking for someone, and a woman's trench coat was draped over his arm.

Yuska glanced at it and then laughed.

Jiang Lingyu followed You Sijia's gaze and naturally saw the man below.

However, before Xie Yuci could spot You Sijia and Jiang Lingyu, he was suddenly stopped.

Yu Sijia was quite familiar with the Jiang family. She narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the people who had appeared next to Xie Yuci with some surprise.

"Isn't that someone from your Jiang family's research institute?" You Sijia asked. Jiang Lingyu nodded.

"What's happening here?"

Jiang Lingyu: "We'll poach their talent."

She spoke so casually, without any surprise, that Yustia suddenly realized, "You knew all along?"

"Xie Yuci will never hide anything from me," Jiang Lingyu replied casually.

Yu Sijia raised her eyebrows, thinking that Jiang Lingyu herself might not even realize that what she said was not so ordinary.

Jiang Lingyu: "Kete Pharmaceuticals' market share last year far surpassed that of the Jiang family. They are anxious and have been trying to contact Xie Yuci recently, but Xie Yuci has not agreed."

"So what are your plans, Professor Xie?" Yu Sijia asked with a smile.

Jiang Lingyu turned around and glared at her. "He only has one condition."

"Ok?"

"I need those seasoned shareholders from the pharmaceutical research institute to vote for me," Jiang Lingyu said.

Her relationship with Xie Yuci was no longer a secret. Even if she didn't want to admit that Xie Yuci was her boyfriend, from the outside world's perspective, their relationship was indeed that of a man and a woman dating.

Unbeknownst to her, Xie Yuci had already been tied to the same boat.

Xie Yuci, on the other hand, seemed to be doing so willingly.

Professor Xie, who used to be detached from worldly affairs, can now negotiate with people.

You Sijia glanced at Jiang Lingyu. Back when Jiang Lingyu was with Xie Yuci, she probably never imagined things would turn out this way.

Xie Yuci almost single-handedly disrupted Jiang Lingyu's previous plan.

She hadn't had much contact with Xie Yuci, but now she couldn't help but feel quite fond of him.

A man who knows how to proactively advocate for his wife's interests is someone who is truly capable.

Before long, Xie Yuci got rid of the people who came looking for him. He looked up and saw Jiang Lingyu sitting with You Sijia in the pavilion.

He raised the clothes in his hand and walked around the stone path to the pavilion.

Before Xie Yu resigned, You Sijia took the initiative to return to the main banquet hall via another side path.

When they found Meng Weiyuan, he was talking to Hu Yihai about business in Australia.

Before Yu Sijia could walk over, perhaps because Meng Weiyuan felt the familiar gaze on him, he subconsciously turned his head and his eyes met Yu Sijia's in the crowd.

Meng Weiyuan's expression softened considerably.

Hu Yihai, who was talking to Meng Weiyuan, was somewhat surprised when he noticed the undisguised change in Meng Weiyuan's emotions. Following Meng Weiyuan's gaze, Hu Yihai's look at You Sijia suddenly became more serious.

He had met Meng Weiyuan a few times, and the latter was not an easy person to talk to. He was rigorous, self-disciplined, and methodical, and it was difficult for him to be swayed by personal relationships. This was his impression of Meng Weiyuan.

However, it now seems that Meng Weiyuan may be slightly different from what has been rumored. At least regarding Yousijia, the latter may be quite different from the loveless marriage they imagined.

Moreover, Hu Yihai hadn't forgotten that when he walked over to talk to Meng Weiyuan just now, if he wasn't mistaken, Gu Yu was standing next to Meng Weiyuan.

Meng Weiyuan looked alright, but the person standing next to him didn't look so natural.
