Jin Tong was also very anxious; she hadn't slept well for days.
Every night, she dreamed of the company going bankrupt, of losing everything and being cursed by everyone.
Each time she woke up, she was drenched in sweat, unwilling to lose everything like this.
“Mom, how could you be so stupid? Even if Jiang Nuan doesn't go, the fact that she is Vicky is what matters. As long as everyone knows, we can cooperate with them. Also, let everyone know that Lu Jincheng is the person in charge of n.C shampoo. As long as everyone knows these things, it will be enough.”
“Furthermore, the repair essence that Lu Jincheng’s company is about to launch was also researched by Jiang Nuan. I’ve also found out about this. Now, what Mom needs to do is build good relations with the Lu family. With our current strength, they will only look down on our Jin family. However, with Grandma there, there’s a turn of events.”
Jin Tong prayed in her heart that tonight’s events would go smoothly.
Jin Tong checked the time; it was almost time for the banquet. Looking at her daughter’s confident face, she felt much more at ease.
Song Yanqing saw her anxiety and said, “Aunt and Uncle will also be there. Aunt is the easiest to manipulate. After Uncle leaves, you can take the opportunity to tell everyone that Aunt and you are sisters, that her daughter is Vicky, and that n.C shampoo is her son’s company. This way, those who are watching us with schadenfreude will know that our Jin family is related to the Lu family and the Mu family. We can surely get some collaborations, right?”
Jin Tong was not so optimistic, but she had to try. These past few days, she had thought of every possible way. The enterprises and friends she had helped in the past now avoided her. She finally understood what it meant to be treated with indifference.
The bank had also personally promised that as long as the Lu family provided a guarantee, they could continue to lend, and she could hold on until next year.
Jin Tong bit her lip, looking at the distant sunset. This time, she was determined to be reborn.
“Qingqing, get ready, let’s go,” Jin Tong said.
Song Yanqing did not want to give up such a luxurious life. She had previously thought of seducing Mu Jiuchen to help her family, but that man was devoted to Jiang Nuan.
It was truly unexpected!
After the mother and daughter had tidied themselves up, they went out to the banquet.
…
On the Lu family’s side, Jin Yan, Lu Chengs, and Lu Jincheng also set off for the banquet.
Lu Jincheng was lectured by Jin Yan after yesterday’s incident and was very well-behaved today, not daring to say anything. He silently accompanied his parents to the banquet.
Jin Yan sighed, looking at the orange-red sunset outside the window, the pain in her heart growing more intense.
“I was still thinking of bringing your sister to this banquet tonight. I wanted to tell everyone that this is my daughter, Nuannuan. I wanted to introduce her to my friends. I even picked out a parent-child outfit for her. Now, only I can wear it.”
Lu Jincheng drove attentively, remaining silent. His mother was still angry with him!
Lu Chengs looked at his beautiful wife beside him, smiling from ear to ear, “Yanyan, Nuannuan is out of danger. There will be plenty of opportunities to wear it in the future.”
Jin Yan looked at him faintly, “We can only think that way.”
Jin Yan leaned on his shoulder, feeling the warmth emanating from her husband, and her mood gradually improved.
…
The banquet hall of the top academic exchange conference was magnificent.
All the food at the banquet was freshly prepared.
Only the top wealthy individuals could attend.
The organizer was the Li family, a prestigious medical family in Modu.
The Li family had been practicing medicine for generations and owned many pharmaceutical factories.
Elder Li, dressed in a purplish-red Tang suit, stood on the stage with great spirit, holding a microphone, recounting the history of the medical family and various interesting anecdotes with collaborators over the years.
People who had experienced hardships could always speak words that were enlightening.
After Elder Li finished speaking, the venue erupted in warm applause.
This exchange conference was broadcast live.
Mu Jiuchen and Jiang Nuan did not attend, but they watched the live broadcast in their hospital room.
Jiang Nuan was still receiving an IV drip, and her wound still hurt when she breathed.
After asking Mu Jiuchen to bring her medicine box, she took painkillers. Now, sitting like this, she was not too uncomfortable.
Mu Jiuchen sat beside her, holding her, and occasionally checked the IV drip.
Jiang Nuan suddenly said, “Husband, I see Mom. She’s so beautiful!”
Jiang Nuan looked at her mother wearing a light gold knee-length dress, her short hair slightly curled, and her good figure. She was very beautiful.
Mu Jiuchen saw the smile on her face and couldn’t help but curve his lips, “Mom is indeed beautiful!”
“Hehe…” Jiang Nuan smiled happily, leaning her head on his arm.
She suddenly saw Jin Tong and Song Yanqing and remembered the conversation she overheard at the entrance that night. She frowned slightly and asked coldly, “Did Song Yanqing try to seduce you?”
Mu Jiuchen glanced at her guiltily and honestly admitted, “Yes! But I scolded her.”
Jiang Nuan caught his guilty look and found it amusing, “The night my mother fell down the stairs, you suddenly got up and left the dinner table. I thought you didn’t want to eat. Was the reason you left because she did something to you under the table?”
She remembered that after Mu Jiuchen left, Song Yanqing also stood up and left with him.
Mu Jiuchen thought of the scene that night, his brows furrowed with anger, “She touched my foot with her leg. I found it disgusting and couldn’t eat. When I got to the car, she followed me. Perhaps after being scolded by me, she took her anger out on my mother.”
Jiang Nuan pondered for a moment and then said, “That’s part of it. On the other hand, Mom overheard the conversation between Jin Tong and Song Yanqing. Song Yanqing didn’t want to give up seducing you. When they were talking, Mom happened to go upstairs and heard the conversation between the mother and daughter, which led to the argument with Song Yanqing, and then she was pushed down the stairs. Song Yanqing is despicable, trying to frame us for this incident.”
Mu Jiuchen asked in surprise, “Nuannuan, how do you know so clearly?”
A faint cold light flickered in Jiang Nuan’s eyes, “The night the old lady was driven away, I heard the mother and daughter’s conversation at the door and learned the truth. Afterwards, I didn’t ask you about it because I knew you felt bad about it.”
Mu Jiuchen doted on her understanding, “Silly wife, it’s not that I didn’t tell you, I was afraid you would be sad if I told you.”
Song Yanqing was shameless. Such a person was truly heartless.
Even animals were more rational than her!
Jiang Nuan smiled at him, “That’s not important. What’s important is that I know you only love me.”
Mu Jiuchen’s smile was truly radiant this time.
He tilted his head, kissed her lips, and said softly, “Wife, I love you!”
Jiang Nuan smiled, her beautiful eyes narrowing into crescent moons. She happened to look towards the door and suddenly saw a black shadow flash by.
Jiang Nuan was slightly surprised; the speed was too fast. When she looked again, there was nothing.
Could it be a play of light and shadow?
“Ms. Jin, there have been rumors online for the past two days that the Jin family has gone bankrupt. Is this true?”
Jiang Nuan and Mu Jiuchen heard the reporter’s voice, and they looked at the digital television on the wall again. Jin Tong was with her mother at that moment.
Facing the reporter’s question, Jin Tong smiled and said, “Those are all untrue rumors. I don’t know who spread them. Our Jin family is related to the Lu family. This Madam Lu is my own sister. n.C shampoo’s company负责人 is my nephew Lu Jincheng, and my niece Jiang Nuan is Vicky, the medical world’s authority. Do you think our Jin family can go bankrupt?”
