Jiang Nuan heard the voice and knew who it was.
Rong Yin, why was he joining the fun?!
This man was truly everywhere.
Yan Xi also heard Rong Yin's voice. She slowly stood up, turned abruptly, and watched Rong Yin, dressed in a red suit, walk towards them with a smile.
Yan Xi: "..." Tonight had turned into her own Hongmen Banquet.
She glared at Jiang Nuan, "Jiang Nuan, so it was you who set me up."
Jiang Nuan looked at her inexplicably, "I didn't even know you were here, how could I have set you up? And what reason would I have to frame you?"
Yan Xi raised her eyebrows and glared at her angrily, "Jiang Nuan, I know you resent me, that's why you designed this."
"How laughable, what do I resent you for? What do you have that's worth my resentment? Are you better than me at dancing? Or singing? As for beauty, I'm beautiful enough myself, why would I resent you? Please don't insult my intelligence with your pathetic acting."
The crowd: "..." You are truly narcissistic.
"Pfft..." Mu Jiuchen couldn't help but laugh this time. Nuan Nuan was so cute.
Nanzhou glanced at him, inexplicably viewing him as a love rival and being wary.
Rong Yin had already walked over to them. He looked at Lu Jinyue and smiled playfully, "Young Master Lu, I wasn't in Modu before. I hope this congratulations is not too late."
Lu Jinyue frowned and looked at him, "You were the one speaking just now, right?"
Rong Yin nodded, "Yes. A year ago, I collaborated with Miss Yan Xi and gave her a large sum of money. She sold me an experimental project. After I bought it, I realized this experimental project was stolen by her. She didn't know the proportions at all. I spent a fortune only to get nothing. How do you think this should be settled with you?"
"Rong Yin, you scoundrel!" Yan Xi knew she was finished. She wanted to win against Jiang Nuan in everything, but in the end, she lost so miserably.
And she had only found out about Jiang Nuan being in Jinshi these past two days, which was why she had gone to great lengths to bring Lu Jinyue here.
With so many people at the banquet, she wanted to humiliate the penniless Jiang Nuan.
During this time, she had been busy living the life of a rich wife and had neglected the news from Jinshi.
The night before last, there was a gathering, and she happened to hear the name Jiang Nuan. She then searched for her online and learned that Jiang Nuan was an abandoned daughter of the Jiang family, had a child out of wedlock, and was dependent on no one. This huge disparity gave her an immense sense of superiority.
But the current scene made her wish she were dead.
Lu Jinyue frowned and glanced at the people present, not expecting to become the joke of the entire banquet tonight.
"This is between you two, what does it have to do with me?" he said angrily.
Rong Yin looked at Yan Xi with a smile, "Yan Xi, although the transaction was a one-off, you've caused me huge losses now. What do you think should be done? Return the money to me, or you go apologize to that person and have her help me complete the experimental project."
Jiang Nuan: "..." I've seen shameless people, but never this shameless. How could there be such a move from Rong Yin?
The summer barbecue had been dragged into autumn, and it was still just as hot.
Yan Xi stared fiercely at Jiang Nuan, "Jiang Nuan, you still say it wasn't you. It was you who made Rong Yin do this?"
Jiang Nuan: "..." Why was this dirty water being thrown at her for no reason again?
"Yan Xi, who is the Third Master Rong? Can I use him?" Jiang Nuan asked back with a smile.
"But you are..." Yan Xi hesitated, she had just had a moment of impulse that day and forgotten the consequences.
Besides, she wouldn't let anyone here know that Jiang Nuan was the famous Vicky.
Nanzhou smiled and looked at Rong Yin, "...I didn't expect my welcoming banquet to be so lively."
Rong Yin looked apologetic, but his words were anything but apologetic, "Sorry, Third Master. I'm borrowing your venue to do something."
"Since we are all on the same boat, I won't dwell on it. You said just now that this lady..."
Jiang Nuan kicked him.
Successfully stopping Nanzhou's words.
Nanzhou: "...Nuan Nuan."
"Shut up!" Jiang Nuan said in a low voice.
"Oh!" Nanzhou fell silent.
Mu Jiuchen: "..." These two really are... He really wanted to beat someone up.
Rong Yin looked at the important figures present and laughed freely, looking at Jiang Nuan, "Nuan Nuan, I'm sorry!"
Jiang Nuan glanced at him silently, not saying anything.
All of them were schemers!
Rong Yin looked at Yan Xi, "Yan Xi, everyone is here. Let's clarify things before leaving."
Yan Xi: "...I don't have money for you."
That money had long been squandered.
"Also, the agreement back then was in black and white. I owe you nothing." She couldn't produce a single cent.
Rong Yin sneered, "You don't owe me anything, but you owe Nuan Nuan."
Yan Xi suddenly looked at Jiang Nuan, "Jiang Nuan, are you feeling better now that you've ruined me like this?"
Rong Yin found this amusing upon hearing it, "Why is it Jiang Nuan who harmed you, and not you who harmed Jiang Nuan? You are really good at making excuses for yourself and shifting the blame to Jiang Nuan."
This woman, even at this point, wouldn't apologize. She was truly ill-mouthed.
A wicked woman, a woman who deserved a good beating!
Yan Xi couldn't bother with Jiang Nuan. She looked at Lu Jinyue, "Jinyue, believe me, I really haven't done those things. Jiang Nuan and I were college classmates. We had some minor friction when we were studying. She had a child out of wedlock and was promiscuous. I said a few words to her, and she's held a grudge against me ever since."
Jiang Nuan's face suddenly darkened.
Nanzhou's anger surged, "Who are you calling promiscuous?"
"Hmph! Ask Jiang Nuan yourself?" Yan Xi replied vaguely, looking provocatively at Jiang Nuan.
Only by dragging Jiang Nuan down to hell could she survive.
Nanzhou said coldly, "Yan Xi, you have brought this upon yourself."
After speaking, Nanzhou strode towards the large screen on the performance stage.
Reaching the stage, he bowed apologetically to everyone, "My apologies, tonight I might dirty everyone's eyes."
Yan Xi was startled. In her haste, she had forgotten what Nanzhou had said. Nanzhou had investigated her.
She looked at Nanzhou and questioned him in terror, "Nanzhou, what do you want to do?"
Nanzhou looked at her expressionlessly, "I'm going to show everyone something. Who is promiscuous, and who isn't, will be clear then."
Tan Xue glanced at Jiang Nuan, lost in thought. She had a child out of wedlock?!
Mu Jiuchen, however, looked at Jiang Nuan beside him, feeling heartbroken. Had she been living with the burden of having a child out of wedlock all these years?
Rong Yin looked at her in surprise, "You have a child?"
Jiang Nuan glanced at him coldly, "Does it concern you?"
"No, how could it concern me..." I was serious about pursuing you.
But she actually had a child?
Lu Qiaoyi was shocked when she heard Jiang Nuan's name. So she was Jiang Nuan. But when she heard the words "child out of wedlock," her anxious heart finally settled.
At this moment, the large screen on the performance stage suddenly lit up.
"Quick, look at the big screen." Someone exclaimed, instantly drawing everyone's attention.
