Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales

A while later, Jian Yiling received a message from an agent of the person with who she had struck a deal with.

[Dr. F.S, my Master would like to meet you.]

Jian Yiling’s reply to this message was brief and to the point: [Time and place.]

This person had already helped Jian Yiling twice. As a result, it was time for her to fulfill her side of the promise.

And thus, Jian Yiling was willing to abide by their demands without the slightest hesitation.

[This weekend. Ms. Qin is hosting a charity dinner. The invitation has been sent to your home address by express mail.]

The charity dinner hosted by Qin Shixuan’s wife?

Initially, Qin Shixuan had invited Jian Yiling. However, back then, Jian Yiling had declined his invitation.

However, if that person wanted to meet her at the charity dinner, there was no reason for her to refuse.

[Okay.]

###

Qin Shixuan’s wife hosted a charity dinner at one of the hotels that was under the Yu family’s name. She invited all the prominent and charitable people in Hengyuan City.

The entire lobby of the hotel had been booked. Under the dazzling light, every guest who arrived was dressed up in splendid attire.

The reason for this was because this was hosted by a member of the Qin family. Ms. Qin had invited a lot of people to attend the charity dinner. Everyone who she invited turned up.

Three days ago, He Yan had also received an invitation to the charity dinner. She had her wishes fulfilled. However, as her husband had matters to deal with at work, she ended up dragging Jian Yumin to attend the dinner with her.

Jian Yumin had agreed to his mother’s request. Although he was usually against his mother, He Yan was still his mother after all. Therefore, he was still willing to agree to any reasonable requests from her.

“Yumin, please remember to watch your words when you arrive. I’ve heard that someone very important is attending the charity dinner today.”

That was the reason why she desperately wanted to attend the charity dinner. Not only to see Qin Shixuan and his wife, she always wanted to meet the old gentleman who was attending.

Today’s trip was well worth it.

He Yan had dressed up very nicely today.

Back in the days, she had been a super popular actress for a while. Thus, her looks and temperament were not to be looked down upon.

Although she had raised three sons and was already fifty years old, her appearance made it seem like she looked like she was in her early forties. She had taken good care of herself.

Furthermore, Jian Yumin was also incredibly eye-catching. As he was dressed up in formal attire, many young ladies couldn’t help but look at him.

Upon mingling around at the charity dinner, He Yan was greeted by many wives from prestigious families. Of course, He Yan was incredibly happy to respond to them.

In her spare time, He Yan couldn’t help but look towards the entrance of the hotel. She wanted to see who was arriving at the event.

However, He Yan didn’t see anyone important arrive. Instead, she saw Jian Yiling.

All of a sudden, He Yan’s heart sank. Why was Jian Yiling here?

Could it be that Wen Nuan was here as well?

Before she attended the charity dinner, He Yan had asked around to see whether or not Wen Nuan had received an invitation. She had heard that Wen Nuan had told Ms. Qin her situation ahead of time to stop her from sending her an invitation. This was to avoid any potential embarrassment.

This was one of the reasons why He Yan disliked Wen Nuan.

They were both daughters-in-law of the Jian family. However, Wen Nuan’s social circle and standing in society was evidently larger and more prominent than He Yan’s. He Yan would kill to befriend someone like Ms. Qin.

In comparison, Wen Nuan had her own ways to contact and keep in touch with Ms. Qin.

As soon as Jian Yumin saw Jian Yiling, his eyes lit up. He immediately headed over to Jian Yiling.

He Yan didn’t stop him. Instead, she walked over to Jian Yiling as well.

In public, He Yan had to protect the Jian family’s image.
