Jiang Wan Yu’s heart softened as she watched Dian Dian.
But at the same time, she couldn’t help but think of her biological child. Would that child be as well-behaved and fond of her as Dian Dian?
Probably not, she thought. After all, she hadn’t spent a single day taking care of him.
With these thoughts, Jiang Wan Yu’s gaze grew a bit dim.
Then she said to Yi Lingfeng, “Let me drive you there.”
Yi Lingfeng declined, saying, “No need. Stay home with Dian Dian. I might not come back tonight as I have some evening engagements.”
Jiang Wan Yu felt relieved and said, “Alright.”
Once Yi Lingfeng left, the atmosphere in the house immediately lightened.
She smiled at Dian Dian, hugged him tightly, and sat him on her lap. “Dian Dian, what would you like for dinner? Mommy can make you anything you want.”
Dian Dian cheered, “Yay! I want Mommy’s beer duck and sweet and sour pork!”
“Great, Mommy will make them for you!” Jiang Wan Yu was overjoyed.
Soon, the room was filled with laughter and joy.
In the evening, at 7 o’clock, in front of the Emperor Star five-star hotel.
Luxury cars kept arriving, and guests seemed to be appearing out of thin air.
Tonight, the Lin family was hosting a banquet where they would announce the company that would collaborate with them on developing the land in the western part of the city. As a result, almost all of Jiangcheng’s prominent families were in attendance.
Even if they couldn’t get a piece of the pie, attending such an event allowed them to network and build connections.
“I heard Lin Yi Chen got injured. I wonder if he’ll show up tonight.”
“Well, didn’t Xu Wen Jing say his injury wasn’t too serious? He should attend, right?”
After all, if Lin Yi Chen didn’t attend such a grand event, it would indicate that his injury was quite severe.
However, someone must have had the audacity to harm Lin Yi Chen, a prominent figure in Jiangcheng.
The person responsible would undoubtedly face relentless retaliation from the Lin family.
“But I heard that Xu Wen Jing’s brother, Xu Wen Hu, also got injured. It’s said that it was Jiang Ye from the Mu Ye Group who did it!”
“Is that true? The Xu family actually offended the Mu Ye Group? Are they asking for trouble?”
Although the Mu Ye Group had risen to power relatively recently in Jiangcheng, everyone knew that they were now the underground overlords of the city.
Thanks to the Mu Ye Group, the previously chaotic city had seen a marked improvement in law and order over the past few years.
Even the authorities turned a blind eye to the Mu Ye Group’s existence.
However, the leader of the Mu Ye Group, Jiang Ye has always worn a silver mask, and no one has seen his true face up to now!
While the guests were discussing these matters, the Xu family arrived.
Despite feeling heartbroken over Xu Wen Hu’s beating, Xu Shi Chang and Lin Cui couldn’t miss such an important occasion.
For the past few years, the Xu family had been doing well in Jiangcheng, largely thanks to the Lin family’s support. They had managed to ascend to the upper echelons of the city’s elite, although they knew it was due to the Lin family’s protection.
Nevertheless, who wouldn’t want to make a name for themselves and earn respect with their own abilities?
Xu Shi Chang had tried to establish himself in business over the years, but he simply wasn’t cut out for it.
If it weren’t for Xu Wen Hu’s relative competence and Lin Yi Chen’s support, the Xu family wouldn’t have come this far.
As for Xu Wen Jing, being Lin Yi Chen’s fiancée, she naturally attracted the attention of everyone as soon as she appeared.
She thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of being in the spotlight.
This was different from her days as a celebrity being adored by fans. Now, those who envied her were wealthy individuals, not the impoverished fans of her past.
