Marriage is long and desires are strong

Chapter 18 You Can Have What You Want

Jiang Wei laughed at Sheng Huaiyi's words: "If I go to the restroom, are you going to come with me?"

Sheng Huaiyi stopped awkwardly, his expression dejected: "No..."

Jiang Wei walked towards Luo Xue.

Hearing the commotion, Luo Xue, fearing Jiang Wei might be bullied, came over anxiously: "They didn't give you any trouble, did they? They said they didn't need you anymore."

Jiang Wei laughed: "Alright, Aunt Luo. I've never lived in a greenhouse all my life."

A wave of sadness instantly welled up in Luo Xue's eyes, shimmering like water: "Weiwei, you've always lived in a greenhouse."

You've changed so much in the last six months.

Jiang Wei laughed: "Xuexue, what are you doing? Why don't I transfer my household registration to your name and recognize you as my mother?"

Luo Xue suppressed the tears welling up in her eyes and puffed out her cheeks: "I don't even need to look, they'll definitely laugh at your dress for being cheap. That's all those people think about: whose bag is expensive, who bought a limited edition, who wore auction jewelry, who wore the latest designer clothes."

Jiang Wei poked her cheek with her finger: "If you go into a room and a threshold trips you up, don't be surprised. That threshold is there just for you."

"I really can't afford it right now~"

……

Sheng Huaiyi watched Jiang Wei's retreating figure.

Qin Shuang whispered to Jiang Wan, "She bullied you so much and hijacked your identity for so many years, don't you want to get back at her?"

Jiang Wan's eyes lit up, and she said, "That's not a good idea. My sister may be a bit spoiled, but I can tolerate it."

Qin Shuang whispered to her, "You can't do that. What if she bullies you and takes away all your family property?"

Jiang Wan asked softly, "Then what should I do?"

Qin Shuang laughed: "If you want to embarrass someone, you have to put them on a high pedestal first, so everyone can see them. That way, their embarrassment will be even more shameful. You're doing this..."

Jiang Wan caught up with Sheng Huaiyi, smiling broadly: "Young Master Sheng, do you know my sister Jiang Wei?"

Sheng Huai didn't know much about the Jiang family either. "Yes, I went to see her for treatment."

Jiang Wan looked embarrassed and reminded her, "She's a veterinarian..."

Sheng Huai also revealed his pointed little tiger teeth: "Haha, my cat was sick, so we saw Dr. Jiang Wei."

Jiang Wan suddenly realized and nodded, "Um... my sister's hospital has an animal rescue fund, but it seems like not many people are donating. Could you help her out? Let her go on stage and introduce the rescue project; it won't take long."

"With so many powerful and influential people here today, there must be some kind-hearted people among them."

Sheng Huai hesitated, then thought for a moment and said, "The banquet program is usually fixed. I'll go ask my father and try to get it done."

Jiang Wan smiled and said, "Thank you, Young Master Sheng."

Sheng Huai scratched his head and chuckled, "You're welcome. I'm happy to be able to help Sister Jiang Wei."

He ran off happily.

Jiang Wan asked Qin Shuang in a low voice, "Does this really work?"

Qin Shuang laughed: "Just wait and see how she fares."

"The banquet was so boring, even a joke was entertaining. I was just as bored. They act so high and mighty all the time, but behind your back they're so despicable. It's disgusting."

Jiang Wan: "You hate her?"

Qin Shuang: "No, it's just because I'm bored, playing around, treating it like a game. You'll understand later, playing with people is the most fun. She's already different from us, yet she still wants to stand with us. If we don't play with her, who else should we play with?"

Jiang Wan paused for a moment. She disliked Jiang Wei because Jiang Wei had taken over more than twenty years of her life, but Qin Shuang's reason was simply boredom.

Jiang Wan recalled that when she was a child, people from her village would chase after her and throw dog poop on her, laughing at her father for forcing her to marry someone else at the mahjong table. She was only 10 years old at the time.

Fortunately, she is now a wealthy woman, the heir to the Jiang family, and a true heiress.

She can bully others now.

Jiang Wan tilted her head and smiled, her gaze following Jiang Wei. She wanted to make Jiang Wei return everything that had been forcibly taken from her, little by little.

A while later, Sheng Huai returned to the banquet hall with a beaming smile. He gave Jiang Wan an OK sign from afar, then whispered a few words to the banquet host, Xie Xun, who nodded in agreement.

Jiang Wan smiled, took a glass of red wine, and walked towards Jiang Wei.

Jiang Wei was chatting with Luo Xue when, without noticing, Jiang Wan spilled red wine from her hand, which landed on Jiang Wei's dress and also sprayed Luo Xue, who was standing next to her, with tiny specks of stains all over her.

Jiang Wan apologized in a panic, "I'm sorry, sister, I couldn't hold on to it."

Meanwhile, on the banquet stage, the host Xie Xun smiled and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, in fifteen minutes, Dr. Jiang Wei from Weiguang Pet Hospital will introduce the public welfare rescue project for disabled animals, so that we can show more care for the rescue of small animals."

As Jiang Wei heard the announcement that she was to go on stage, she looked down at her plain dress, which was covered in stains.

Luo Xue's expression changed, and she exclaimed, "How are we supposed to get on stage like this?"

Jiang Wan kept apologizing: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."

Luo Xue frowned: "I'll go up on stage and speak."

Jiang Wei gently patted Luo Xue's shoulder: "Your skirt is dirty too."

Luo Xue was pacing anxiously: "What should we do? The organizers didn't say we could give presentations."

They both knew that Jiang Wan was doing it on purpose.

If they don't go on stage, the host has already announced that they broke their contract at the last minute, which has a very bad impact on the hospital, and they may not have the opportunity to raise charitable donations in the future.

Jiang Wei said softly, "It's okay, I'll go to the restroom to wipe myself down. If it really doesn't work, I'll just go on stage like this. It's fine."

Luo Xue followed her, saying, "It's impossible to wipe it clean."

The two walked nervously out of the banquet hall.

Jiang Wan watched their retreating figures and smiled slightly with a sense of victory.

If it's a joke, you should stand on stage and make everyone laugh.

Qin Shuang walked over, cheerfully saying, "Just wait and see. Jiang Wei won't get any donations now that she's no longer the eldest daughter of the Jiang family, and she's dressed like this anyway. A clown needs a big stage to stand on and make people happy."

Jiang Wan turned to look at the edge of the stage, where a delicate girl was playing the violin, standing there in a stained dress. It was indeed quite embarrassing.

She was really looking forward to Jiang Wei standing on it.

As Jiang Wei left, Luo Xue whispered after her, "Jiang Wan did it on purpose."

Jiang Wei: "Mm."

As people fall from social class, the smiling faces of the past are now met with indifference.

When she looked up, time seemed to slow down.

Qin Xiaoye stood in the dim light, his hands in his pockets, half-hidden and half-lit.

His handsome face was illuminated by the light, highlighting its smooth lines, deep-set eyes, and muscles tightly encased in a sharp, tailored black suit, exuding an air of asceticism.

He can intimidate people just by standing there.

Jiang Wei took a step back, trying to cover herself with her dress, but couldn't, and felt a little embarrassed.

Qin Xiaoye spoke slowly, his voice calm and deep: "Would you like to come with me to change into a dress?"

Jiang Wei was taken aback: "You have dresses in my size?"

Qin Xiaoye tilted his head slightly: "I can have it if I want it. Shall we go?"

The banquet hall was noisy, with melodious music playing, and the crystal chandelier enveloped the two people.

Qin Xiaoye's gaze lightly met Jiang Wei's, his cold, obsidian-like pupils softening in the light.

Jiang Wei immediately nodded: "Okay."

Qin Xiaoye's eyes curved slightly.

The air also vibrated and undulated, becoming soft and lingering.

Luo Xue instantly felt like she'd been hit by a stumble!

My eyes are sparkling (★^∀^★)~~
