Min Rou stared at Jiang Youling not far away, her eyes filled with resentment.

Accompanied by the crisp sound of high heels, echoing in the empty hall, at the door, two people walked in hand in hand, like characters in a painting.

The man was wearing a black suit, he had a tall stature, a handsome face, and an imposing manner, and his every move revealed an extraordinary temperament.

The woman in his arms was wearing a white tight-fitting long dress. The one-shoulder design revealed her shoulders slightly. As she walked lightly, the high slit design at the hem of the skirt revealed a pair of slender and long legs, which aroused endless reverie.

Her makeup was impeccable, she was gorgeous, and she had a perfect, serene smile.

The man is handsome and the woman is beautiful, they are undoubtedly the most eye-catching couple tonight.

These are Gu Yao and Su Lanjing.

Jiang Youling's gaze quietly shifted away from them, and a sarcastic arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Shan Siyao glanced at him and then turned away, feeling that looking at him any longer would dirty her eyes.

Fang Wanjun's gaze lingered on Su Lanjing for a moment, and her brows furrowed slightly.

Rumor has it that the young lady of the Gu family is pregnant, and the good news of her having twins has spread throughout the circle.

Perhaps to highlight her beauty, she chose a long skirt with a loose waist. However, this outfit seemed too bold, and the heels of her high heels were too thin and high, making people worry that she would accidentally fall.

They walked slowly towards Jiang Youling and finally stood beside her. The few people gathered together and immediately became the focus of the hall. A group of handsome men and beautiful women, impossible to ignore, seemed to illuminate the entire hall, making the already gorgeous place even more dazzling.

Su Lanjing maintained her elegant demeanor and greeted Jiang Youling with a smile: "Jiaojiao, congratulations to Grandpa Jiang on his birthday."

Then, she turned to Fang Wanjun, also smiling: "Madam Fang, I have long heard of your great name. Seeing you today, I can see that you are indeed radiant and your reputation is well-deserved."

Gu Yao's gaze was fixed on Jiang Youling, and his eyes revealed a hint of confusion and deep thought.

He tried to capture the familiar scent, but couldn't determine its source for a moment.

This feeling made him fall into deep thought, trying to find corresponding fragments in his memory.

Finally, Gu Yao felt that perhaps some of Miss Jiang’s behaviors, conversation, and even her temperament made him feel familiar!

However, Gu Yao's concentration did not attract the attention of people around him, and everyone's focus was still on celebrating Grandpa Jiang's birthday.

Fang Wanjun, as the mistress of such a prominent family as the Yu family, her appearance naturally attracted attention. Su Lanjing's words revealed her respect and admiration for her, and also contained a hint of social courtesy.

In this lively social occasion, when they came over, Shan Siyao made an excuse, claiming that she was going to look for dessert, and cleverly avoided this annoying exchange.

Soon, the birthday banquet officially began.

The old man, leaning on a cane, was supported by Jiang Yanqing and his wife and walked to the main seat and sat down.

The years have left deep marks on the old man's face, but his awe-inspiring righteousness has become stronger with the passage of time. His eyes are still bright, as if they can see through the fog of time, staring firmly in the direction of the future, revealing an indomitable stubbornness.

Birthday wishes surged like a tide, and guests took their seats one after another, ready to celebrate. However, the old man did not like overly lively occasions, and was not interested in the popular banquet formats.

"Thank you very much for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend my birthday party. I feel very honored and grateful for your presence. I hope everyone has a good time today."

The old man naturally would not like a life of peace and prosperity. As a daughter-in-law, Tong Xue always knew what the old man liked.

Tonight we specially invited a famous Beijing drama troupe to sing the classic song "Destroying the Tianmen Formation"

Many young people had little interest in these traditional tunes. They sat in their seats with their eyes wandering and seemed a little absent-minded. However, looking at the old man's infatuated eyes, they chose to remain silent and did not dare to act rashly.

Gong Meili sat in the front row, smiling earnestly. But she was actually very impatient. Perhaps because she lacked cultural background and knowledge, she did not take the performances of these traditional operas seriously.

In her eyes, the actors' steps and gestures were fake and exaggerated, and their singing was full of that same hoarse sound that sounded heartbreaking and had no aesthetic appeal.

Sitting in the front row, she was even more troubled by the deafening sound. She felt as if her chest was resonating and it was extremely noisy.

During the whole performance, she had been patiently listening to the old man. Turning around, she happened to see Jiang Youling sitting next to the old man.

She frowned. After all these years, Jiang Youling was still so annoying. No matter how good she was to her, she was unwilling to admit her identity.

If she had not been born in the Jiang family, who would she, Jiang Youling, be now?

At this moment, Yu Zhiyan and Yu Zhirui and their spouses appeared together.

The two of them sat down next to Jiang Youling.

The old man was so engrossed in watching the opera that he didn't say hello. He just smiled at Jiang Youling.

Yu Zhirui lowered his head slightly, and Fang Wanjun leaned close to his ear. The two of them leaned together and whispered, as if sharing private words that only the two of them understood.

Yu Zhirui's handsome face was filled with an unconcealable doting smile, and his eyes were gentle and affectionate. Fang Wanjun's hand naturally raised up and gently straightened his collar for him. Her movements were both skilled and caring, and it was obvious that they often showed affection like this.

Then he raised his head and glanced in the direction of Mr. Jiang. Seeing that Mr. Jiang was fascinated by the show, he sat up straight and continued watching the show.

Shan Siyao, who was sitting on the right side of Jiang Youling, saw Yu Zhiyan coming over, looked up at him, and when she met his eyes, she immediately grabbed a handful of fruits and moved her butt to the side to make room.

Yu Zhiyan naturally bent down and sat next to Jiang Youling.

At this time, Shan Siyao stood up and talked to the eldest son of the Shao family on the other side, blocking Gong Meili's sight. She had to retract her gaze. A hint of gloom flashed across her eyes, but soon returned to normal.

After listening to the opera, it is time for young people to spend time together.

At this time, someone made a suggestion, "Since there are so many young people here today to celebrate Mr. Jiang's birthday, and it's still early, why not let everyone have some fun. The drama just now may not suit the preferences of all young people. How about we do something more suitable for young people this time?" This suggestion immediately aroused the interest of the young people present, and they nodded one after another.

"I remember that Miss Min is a student of the Department of Music at the University of Perth. She is a well-known piano prodigy in the school. I believe there are many experts who really understand music here. It just so happens that Miss Min is here too. How about letting her play a song for everyone?"

"Sure. It's a rare opportunity for us to hear Miss Min Rou, a little piano genius, play a piece for us."

"It is said that she has a great talent for music and has been praised by many teachers!"

At this time, Min Rou stood up slowly and reservedly, and said softly:

"Thank you all for your kindness. Today is Grandpa Jiang's birthday. Since we are talking about the piano, I am not as good as everyone says. I might as well take this opportunity to play a song for Grandpa Jiang. I wish you good fortune and a long life."

"it is good!"

Min Rou's speech was gentle and appropriate, winning warm applause from those present.

Although Mr. Jiang's expression did not show any joy or anger, he couldn't help but nod slightly to show his approval.

As Min Rou walked onto the stage, she lifted the hem of her skirt just right, and people were surprised to see that her bright red dress boldly revealed her entire fair and slender back.

This detail went unnoticed, except for a few people from aristocratic families sitting in the front row who frowned slightly, revealing their inner displeasure.

Jiang Youling looked unhappy.

What on earth was she trying to do dressed like that at her grandfather's birthday party?

He looked so confident, obviously eager to show himself off.

Although it was claimed that there were no media at the scene, this did not mean that no reporters sneaked in.

After all, even if there were no media present, with so many capitalists gathered in such a place, as long as Min Rou could attract the attention of one or two of them, it would be a considerable gain for her.

It can also leave a deep impression in the eyes of the Jiang family, which is undoubtedly a blessing for her.

However, all this seemed too coincidental. Jiang Youling cast her eyes towards the man who had just raised the topic, and a hint of indescribable meaning flashed across her bright eyes.

So this is Min Rou's supporter. It's a knife that stands up for her.

She actually used grandfather's birthday party as a stepping stone for Min Rou to become famous. Who gave her the courage?
