Marriage is long and desires are strong

Jiang Wei walked into the banquet hall and went to look at the charity donation box, which was empty.

She felt a little down. In the past, she could receive tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan each time she donated to charity to rescue disabled animals. Her hospital would also help the donating companies with their charity publicity to win their reputation.

but now……

She rarely attended gatherings of the second generation of celebrities, but she still received constant invitations.

After her background was revealed, all the invitations disappeared overnight.

Luo Xue laughed: "You used to find it annoying, but now you don't even have the chance to find it annoying."

Jiang Wei laughed, a faint self-deprecating smile playing on her lips: "The pain of being unemployed is worse than the pain of having a job. Why didn't I cherish it sooner?"

She remembers the two of them looking at each other and smiling.

Jiang Wei didn't see Luo Xue, so she picked up the charity donation box and planned to walk around the crowd to see if anyone would donate.

Many people who knew her before would deliberately avoid eye contact when they saw her, pretending not to see her.

Jiang Wei smiled inwardly; everything was normal.

She's used to it.

She walked to the dining table and casually picked up a glass of orange juice.

A faint whisper drifted from the crowd:

"Isn't that the fake heiress of the Jiang family? Why hasn't she gotten out of the Jiang family yet?"

"What do you know? You're just fighting over property that isn't yours."

"I heard Jiang Wei's biological parents gambled, frequented prostitutes, and were alcoholics. With those genes... tsk, she probably isn't much better, right?"

"Oh, don't worry, the Jiang family is on guard. I heard they plan to marry her off quickly, so their real daughter, Jiang Wan, won't suffer any losses."

"Jiang Wei used to be the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, but now, she's practically someone everyone wants to beat up..."

"Jiang Wei's former fiancés all called off the engagements."

"That's understandable. Who would want their perfectly good young lady wife to turn into a crude country girl? Putting aside everything else, there's that gambling gene..."

"I heard that the Li family is already engaged to Jiang Wan."

"Jiang Wei is such an ingrate. According to Jiang Wan, Jiang Wei often bullies her, acts up, and frequently cries and makes a scene at the Jiang family home, all to prevent Jiang Wan from returning..."

"This is hilarious, it's completely upside down, how can she be so shameless? She's like a joke."

"Exactly, ugh, shameless."

"I heard that Jiang Wei always takes Jiang Wan's things... That fake heiress flaunts her wealth all day long and likes to steal."

"I remember she wasn't like this before?"

"People change. She used to be so high and mighty, but now she's just as despicable."

"She used to have everything. She was beautiful, smart, always ranked first in her grade, and came from a wealthy family, so of course she was calm and didn't compete or fight for anything. But now it's different. Since she doesn't compete or fight for anything, she has nothing. Her worst and dirtiest side has come out. I heard she even steals things."

Jiang Wei lowered her eyes. In this world, the rich are naturally more benevolent. Even if a rich person commits rape, people will naively speculate whether they were set up. It's not that serious.

But if a poor person touches a valuable item, someone will immediately accuse them of being vain or of trying to steal it.

Several of them were people she knew before.

Jiang Wei didn't usually attend gatherings of the second generation of celebrities; she knew them but wasn't close to them.

After Jiang Wan was recognized, Xu Mo said that Jiang Wan had no friends and asked Jiang Wei to take her out to play. Jiang Wei reluctantly took Jiang Wan to a party once.

After that, Jiang Wan added everyone and went out to play with them.

Jiang Wei's original friends became Jiang Wan's friends.

Just like Jiang Wei's original belongings, one by one, they were replaced by Jiang Wan with her own.

Jiang Wei paused for a moment, then, holding the orange juice, walked nonchalantly into the crowd.

The casual conversation immediately stopped.

Jiang Wei smiled and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Several people gave an awkward laugh.

A wealthy young lady named Huang Rui said, "Weiwei, your dress is quite simple and casual."

Jiang Wei carried the donation box to the front, smiling gently: "Ladies, would you be interested in this donation for animal rescue?"

The group took two steps back.

Qin Shuang: "Oh dear, I spent all my allowance on cosmetic procedures, sorry. Sigh, cosmetic surgery is so expensive these days, easily costing hundreds of thousands. Don't you think so, Qin Shuang?"

The others nodded in agreement.

Qin Shuang: "Yeah, I just get Botox, which costs tens of thousands of yuan each time. If you add other things, it can cost over a hundred thousand yuan each time."

Jiang Wei narrowed her eyes. Qin Shuang was Qin Xiaoye's cousin.

Her marriage to Qin Xiaoye was not announced to the public.

However, given Qin Xiaoye's physical strength and dominant state, many people have speculated that Qin Xiaoye is a Sentinel S-rank, and that a Sentinel is responsible for resolving the problem of chaos and collapse.

Qin Shuang's gaze fell on Jiang Wei, scrutinizing her.

Jiang Wan wore a gorgeous custom-made dress, and her jewelry sparkled.

Huang Rui exclaimed, "Wanwan, isn't this dress a custom-made design by Seraphina? It's been discontinued for ages!"

Jiang Wan smiled smugly and spun around, saying, "Yes." Her eyes glanced at Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei remained calm and composed.

Huang Rui looked at the sapphire necklace around her neck with envy: "This necklace must cost hundreds of thousands."

Jiang Wan stretched her neck and stroked the necklace with a smile: "Yes, my parents wanted to make it up to me, but I said I didn't want it. They still wanted to give me more."

The girls around him were filled with envy.

Jiang Wan looked at Jiang Wei, her tone slightly surprised: "Sister, the blue silk dress I couldn't find at home, it turns out you took it."

Jiang Wei bought this dress for her college dance performance, wore it only once, and then put it in the corner of her closet.

While packing, she thought of the performance she did with Luo Xue in college and missed it, so she took it with her.

Now, however, Jiang Wan has implied that it was stolen.

Everyone chuckled and looked at Jiang Wei because of Jiang Wan's words.

Let's see how she makes a fool of herself.

He was publicly exposed for stealing his sister's skirt.

Jiang Wan spoke loudly on purpose, her voice carrying through the melodious music of the banquet, causing a small commotion and drawing the attention of many people.

Qin Xiaoye stood under the crystal chandelier in the distance, surrounded by a crowd. He held a glass of red wine in his hand, took a sip, and suddenly looked up, his gaze piercing through the crowd to land on Jiang Wei.

He narrowed his eyes slightly and frowned.

Wan Shuheng, the manager standing next to Qin Xiaoye, immediately became uneasy, his voice trembling: "President Qin, is there a problem with this project? I... I'll investigate further when I get back."

Qin Xiaoye withdrew his gaze and glanced at Wan Shuheng indifferently. Wan Shuheng immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and his hair stood on end.

Qin Xiaoye: "The project is too old; it would have been fine twenty years ago. The Qin Group mainly invests in high-tech and medical projects."

Wan Shuheng barely dared to breathe, nodding and bowing: "Yes, yes, I've taken up President Qin's time."

Qin Xiaoye nodded slightly.

Another person squeezed forward, wanting to talk to Qin Xiaoye.

Qin Xiaoye glanced at him, his expression calm and indifferent: "Let's not talk about work."

The man opened his mouth, but dared not utter a word and retreated.

Xiang Dong was stunned. Who had ever heard Qin Xiaoye say that they wouldn't talk about work? This was truly the first time such a thing had ever happened to him.

Qin Xiaoye leaned lazily against the gray-blue wall tiles, the red wine in his hand swaying, while a symphony of piano music played.

The melodious sound of the zither drifted around me.

He took a sip of red wine, staining his lips red, which only made them look wild and alluring as he looked at Jiang Wei.

Xiang Dong followed Qin Xiaoye's gaze and understood.

Jiang Wei stopped talking to Jiang Wan, picked up the donation box, and smiled: "Donations don't matter how much, a few hundred or a few thousand are fine."

Qin Shuang waved her hand: "Oh dear, I'm really broke lately."

Jiang Wei: "Okay, then I won't bother you any longer."

She turned around.

Countless eyes followed her, mocking her. As expected of a fallen heiress, she didn't even dare to show her temper.

It seems the skirt was indeed stolen.

Jiang Wei walked forward.

"Doctor sister~" a voice called out to Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei looked up and was surprised to see Sheng Huaiyi, the father of the black snake Mao Mao.

Sheng Huai scratched his head and laughed, "I asked Sister Luo Xue to put the donation box here, but it doesn't seem to have any effect. Sorry."

Jiang Wei asked in surprise, "Is this dinner party hosted by your family?"

It turns out to be the Sheng family.

Sheng Huai also smiled: "Hmm, I'll think of another way."

Jiang Wei shook her head: "It's nothing, it's my fault. Thank you."

She continued walking forward.

Sheng Huaiyi ran after him, calling out, "Sister..."

Jiang Wei turned her head helplessly: "Don't follow me anymore..."

In front of everyone, she had already seen Qin Xiaoye looking in their direction out of the corner of her eye.

Qin Xiaoye's gaze made her nervous, as if she had been caught in adultery.

That ambiguous gaze, though not containing anger, makes you feel uneasy, as if it's reproachful.

Sheng Huai followed closely behind, smiling, "It's coolest following behind you, because my warm face is always pressed against your cold backside."
