Rebirth: Back to before the tragedy

In the evening, Jiang Yuange, dressed in a gorgeous evening gown, accompanied Chi Morong to the dinner.

They arrived not too early, but certainly not too late either, as the banquet had not officially started yet.

As soon as they stepped into the hall, all eyes were focused on the two of them.

Jiang Yuange didn't know if it was his illusion, but he always felt that the eyes cast on him were strange. They were looking at him with disdain, and also with a hint of mockery as if he was enjoying a good show.

Jiang Yuange felt that the atmosphere in the entire banquet hall was a little strange. The gorgeous chandeliers cast a pale yellow halo, making the exquisite decorations on the walls dazzling, as if the entire space was filled with an indescribable sense of oppression.

She held Chi Morong's arm tightly, and the man next to her patted the back of her hand gently, noticing her uneasiness.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

As he said this, he led her forward.

Jiang Yuange's doubts were soon answered.

I followed him to a corner of the hall, where several elders were sitting and drinking tea.

"dad"

The word "Dad" made Jiang Yuange dizzy.

So, tonight’s banquet turned out to be Chi Morong’s father’s birthday banquet.

That's why people looked at her strangely just now.

Jiang Yuange’s first thought was: This man is simply crazy!

I shouldn't be here tonight.

When he was about to get married in a few months, he actually showed up at his father's birthday party with another woman, which was undoubtedly a humiliation and slap in the face to his fiancée.

Jiang Yuange really couldn't understand this crazy behavior. She firmly believed that this man must have lost his mind.

But now, he is in a difficult situation.

Zhao Hongkun had a smile on his face just now, but when he saw the two people standing in front of him, his smile disappeared.

The next second, he greeted the people around him.

"You guys chat first, I'll go take care of some things."

After saying that, he stood up and said something as he passed by Chi Morong.

"Come out with me."

Now is not the time to turn hostile, and with so many people present, Chi Morong finally restrained himself a little.

He patted the back of Jiang Yuange's hand soothingly.

"Find a place to sit down, I'll be back in a bit."

After saying that, he let go of her hand and walked out.

Jiang Yuange watched Chi Morong and his father leave, and she felt at a loss.

She originally thought that she was accompanying Chi Morong to an ordinary dinner party, but she didn't expect it to be such a complicated situation.

Looking around, the vague gazes falling on her made her feel very uncomfortable.

There was no way to leave for the moment, so Jiang Yuange hesitated for a moment, then turned around and prepared to find a quiet corner.

She walked through the crowd and onto the balcony, where the evening breeze brushed her face, bringing a hint of coolness.

Jiang Yuange stood quietly on the balcony. She really couldn't understand what Chi Morong's purpose was in doing this tonight.

Just then, Jiang Yuange heard light footsteps behind him.

She turned her head and saw Liu Xiran, who was wearing a black evening dress and an oversized diamond necklace around her neck.

After knowing that tonight's banquet was Chi Morong's father's birthday party, she had already expected such a moment to come, but she didn't expect it to happen so soon.

Liu Xiran looked at Jiang Yuange angrily and said,

"Tell me, how much money do you want in order to leave Mr. Chi?"
