Chapter 252 I Was Counter-Taken by the Male Lead (40)
The woman in black was none other than Qin Nuan, who had recently become very popular, but the woman in pink whom Qin Nuan was holding hands with was a complete stranger to everyone.
As the person approached, many people held their breath. Under the huge chandelier in the banquet hall, the beauty was enveloped in a dreamlike light, breathtakingly beautiful.
Despite the gazes directed at her from all directions, Jiang Rou remained calm and composed, her posture elegant and poised, appearing poised and confident without any stage fright.
Looking at everyone's expressions, Qin Nuan felt an overwhelming sense of pride. She gazed tenderly at her younger sister beside her and introduced her to the crowd:
"This is my sister, and this banquet is held for her."
After saying this, he raised his glass to everyone with a smile on his face:
"I am deeply grateful to everyone for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend this banquet. This toast is for you all."
After speaking, he took a small sip of his drink, and then the banquet officially began.
Everyone was shocked to hear the news. When did Qin Nuan get a younger sister? This was the thought on most people's minds.
Many people also know about the Qin family's past and speculate that Jiang Rou is the daughter who was lost not long after birth.
Seeing Qin Nuan's attitude towards Jiang Rou, everyone's gaze towards Jiang Rou began to burn with passion.
Qin Nuan appears gentle, but in the business world, she's as slippery as an eel, making it impossible for those who want to befriend her to make a move.
Now that they have a beloved younger sister, everyone's minds are starting to wander. If only they could use this sister to get in touch with Qin Nuan.
Before long, Jiang Rou and Qin Nuan were surrounded by people, all eager to strike up a conversation with Qin Nuan.
Qin Nuan, worried that Jiang Rou would be bored, said to her:
"Go have fun. If you get tired, go rest and have some juice. Don't drink alcohol. You've never had it before, and if you get drunk, you'll have a headache tomorrow."
Qin Nuan rambled on and on, and amidst the smiling gazes of everyone, Jiang Rou walked to the side.
Not long after she stood still, a man in a white suit walked over, smiled gently at Jiang Rou, and took the initiative to start a conversation, talking about this and that, showing off his knowledge in his words.
Jiang Rou responded casually, with a smile on her face and an elegant and graceful demeanor, so that no one would feel that she was attending a banquet.
The man in white was even more satisfied. Thinking about the future of the Qin family, his gaze towards Qin Nuan became even more ardent.
Seeing him step forward, the other onlookers also gathered around. Most of them were rich young men, dressed quite well, and they all strutting around in front of Jiang Rou.
After watching the show for a while, Jiang Rou felt it was getting noisy. She was wearing eight-centimeter high heels and was getting tired of standing for so long, so she wanted to go upstairs to rest.
Before he could even speak to dismiss these people, a commotion arose at the entrance. Many people looked over and saw a man in a black suit carrying a bouquet of bright red roses walk into the banquet hall.
Many people were surprised to see him, but then delighted. He rarely attends banquets and it's hard to even catch a glimpse of him. They never expected to run into him here today.
Before they could even make a move, they saw the man who had attracted so much attention walk straight in one direction.
Jiang Rou naturally noticed him, but she was held up by the people around her and couldn't go over in time, so she could only give him a big smile.
Xie Nan observed the people surrounding Jiang Rou without making a sound. After looking them over, he concluded in his mind that they were not as tall or as handsome as him, just a group of rich second-generation kids who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun.
As soon as he approached, Jiang Rou eagerly took a few steps forward, her voice filled with joy:
"Anan".
In an instant, she transformed from a dignified lady into a charming and adorable young girl, and the others looked at Xie Nan with wary expressions.
Ignoring everyone's gaze, Xie Nan focused on Jiang Rou, presented her with the flowers, and gently inquired:
Do you like it?
Jiang Rou nodded reservedly, reached out and took the flowers, her tone tinged with pride:
"I'm fairly satisfied. I'll let you off the hook this time for being late."
Xie Nan's eyes and brows were full of smiles, and his tone was quite indulgent:
"Then thank you very much, Miss Jiang."
After speaking, Xie Nan calmly took Jiang Rou's hand, ignoring the gazes around them, and said to Jiang Rou:
"I haven't gone to say hello to my sister yet, take me with you."
Jiang Rou readily agreed, nodded apologetically to the people around her, and left with Xie Nan.
Xie Nan held Jiang Rou in his arms as if asserting his ownership, whispering to her from time to time to remind her to watch her step. The intimacy between the two was obvious to anyone with eyes.
This thwarted the plans of many people present, but since they were all shrewd, they certainly couldn't show it on their faces.
After the banquet, Jiang Rou received many invitations, all from wealthy heiresses. One day they invited her to go shopping, the next day they invited her to have tea.
There was nothing she could do; both of these rising business tycoons were connected to her—one was her doting older sister, and the other was her deeply devoted boyfriend.
After the campus drama featuring Jiang Rou as the female lead aired, it gained countless fans. The book fans who were originally arguing fiercely all shut up after seeing Jiang Rou's image, and then they promoted it on Weibo with great enthusiasm.
This drama has clearly become a phenomenal hit, and Jiang Rou's name has been thoroughly remembered, attracting a flood of script brands.
In the closed room, Xu Xi scrolled through the messages on Weibo one by one. Seeing the countless comments praising her, Xu Xi's expression gradually became frantic. With a scream, she smashed her phone against the wall.
She vented her emotions recklessly, why, why!
Why is it that Jiang Rou can get everything she wants so easily? She has worked so hard, so why doesn't God favor her?
Since the downfall of the Meng family, her treatment at the company has plummeted. She has lost endorsements and roles, and has even been forced to attend social events.
Recalling the disgusting, sticky looks from those people, Xu Xi clenched her fingers tightly and gritted her teeth in hatred.
She's had such a miserable life, why should Jiang Rou get to live a peaceful life? She's not going to!
In the dead of night, a hashtag gradually climbed to the top of the trending topics list, followed by a bright red "hot" character.
Popular actress gets involved in a relationship; actress surnamed J is cheating on three men.
The person in question is none other than Jiang Rou, who recently became a sensation due to a TV series.
The incident itself was already generating a lot of buzz, and the involvement of male celebrities only amplified its popularity.
The story was told in great detail, and with pictures and evidence to prove it, many people began to have mixed feelings.
Jiang Rou was involved with three men, two of whom were Jiang Yu and Shen Qingxiu.
Jiang Yu's fans are generally younger, so when they saw the post, they all lost their temper and rushed to Jiang Rou's account to hurl insults. Shen Qingxiu's fans, on the other hand, are mostly more mature and are in the observation stage regarding the matter.
Jiang Rou clicked on the top trending search term with great interest.
A person claiming to be an insider revealed that Jiang Rou interfered in someone else's relationship during high school, specifying the exact time and place, and even attaching photos, making it seem highly credible.
Upon seeing the pictures, Jiang Rou instantly understood who had done it. The post included two pictures: one was a photo of Xu Xi and Xie Nan from Xu Xi's perspective, with Xie Nan lying face down on the table with his eyes closed, only half of his face visible, and Xu Xi smiling at the camera.
The two were wearing the same school uniform, and their faces looked youthful; they looked like a couple in love.
Jiang Rou was surprised when she saw the second photo. It was the candid photo that had driven the original owner to her death in her past life. The boy and girl were sitting on the steps, seemingly talking, with smiles on their faces.
