The banquet hall's entrance was noisy, everyone stopped their actions and looked over.

When Wen Tiantian heard Jiang Yutian's voice, she immediately turned to look at Ji Chen.

On the other side, Jiang Yutian had already forcefully barged in.

Dressed in a bright red formal attire, he raised his head and swept his gaze arrogantly over everyone.

A few people in the banquet hall quickly recognized her and their faces turned ugly.

"This is not... Ji Jingchen's new love? "

"Aren't you being too daring?" "He knows the main culprit is here, but he's still so arrogant."

"The new love will appear together with the old love. Tonight's show will be really exciting."

A few people were whispering to each other. Within moments, everyone present knew who Jiang Yutian was.

Jiang Yutian couldn't see the deep meaning in these people's gazes. Instead, he was very satisfied that he had become the center of attention.

She raised her head and found Ji Jingchen in the crowd. She quickly walked over.

"Big brother Jing Chen."

Jiang Yutian took his hand and said with a smile.

"Am I late?"

Ji Jingchen knitted his brows, but he didn't push her away.

"Why are you here?"

"Didn't you tell me to come here?"

Jiang Yutian asked back, "I heard from you that today is uncle's sixtieth birthday, so of course I have to come over to take a look."

The banquet hall was extremely quiet. No one spoke a word, but their gazes were fixed on Ji Jingchen and the other two.

Ji Kang, who was still standing on the stage, looked at Jiang Yutian carefully.

He had also heard some rumors about Ji Jingchen in the past few days.

However, his marriage with the Jiang Clan had been forced. Furthermore, he felt ashamed of Ji Jingchen, so he did not interfere, even though the rumors were bad.

However, in private, with so many relatives and friends present today, Jiang Yu was unable to differentiate between the big and small. If they were to cause a ruckus on the stage, the entire Ji Clan would be the ones humiliated.

He coughed lightly and asked.

"Jing Chen, who is this?" "Why haven't I seen it before?"

"A friend of mine."

Ji Jingchen didn't want 'Tian Tian' to know the people of the Ji Clan, so he passed down a few simple words.

However, Jiang Yutian would not let go of this opportunity to please Ji Jingchen's father.

"Uncle, I'm Jiang Yutian."

Ji Kang indifferently glanced at her.

"Since we're friends, then let's stay."

"Then, he raised his glass and ignored her." "Everyone, continue."

After he finished the wine, it was time for his birthday celebration.

Ji Kang was annoyed by the ruckus, so he left the banquet hall for the youngsters while he and a few of his friends went to the courtyard.

Wen Tiantian hesitated as she turned around to see Jiang Yutian pestering Ji Jingchen to dance.

At this moment, Ji Yiyan walked over and invited her to the courtyard.

"Nian Yao, why don't we go together?"

Only then did Wen Tiantian retract her gaze.

"Alright."

The two of them walking away with their backs facing each other was seen by Ji Jingchen.

His face darkened as he reached out his hand to push Jiang Yutian aside, intending to follow.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Yutian reached out to stop him and followed his gaze.

"Big brother Jing Chen, just dance with me. Isn't big sister being taken care of by that Teacher Ji?"

"I've never been to a ball before. I was in an orphanage before, so I didn't even wear a dress. I've always dreamed of dancing with you."

What Ji Jingchen couldn't bear the most was Jiang Yutian mentioning the past.

As long as he spoke of this, he would feel that he had not taken good care of "Tian Tian" and made her wait for so long.

He retracted his gaze and helplessly gave in.

"Well, just this once."

In the courtyard of the Ji Clan, the Begonia flower was in full bloom. A few simple and unadorned wooden chairs were placed everywhere.

The hot tea had already been brewed on the table. Ji Kang's friends were mostly around the same age, so they chatted leisurely.

Wen Tiantian stood at the side and poured tea for them from time to time. It was unknown what she was thinking about as she lowered her eyes.

Ji Yiyan's gaze hadn't left her body since just now.

Xu Cui Qin came out of the banquet hall, her face was black and smelly.

She walked to Ji Yiyan's side and started to complain in a low voice.

"What is that Jiang Yutian?" Is this a place she can come to? "

"How did she make you angry?"

Xu Cui Qin coldly snorted. "Didn't you see how coquettish she was just now? She almost fell over on top of Ji JingChen's body. How embarrassing!"

Saying that, she looked at Wen Tiantian, who was standing on the other side, with even more disdain.

"Truly useless. He has been bullied to the point that he can't even fart. What kind of person is raised by the Jiang Clan?"

Ji Yiyan smiled.

"Mom, didn't you dislike her? Why are you speaking up for her now? "

"I am not speaking up for her. She is humiliating our Ji Clan! It's true that I don't think much of her, but I don't want to hear other people talking about her.

She lowered her voice, gritted her teeth, and looked at Ji Kang with deep hatred.

Ji Yiyan reached out to hold her back with a smile on his face.

"Isn't that good? "I think so."

Xu Cui Qin raised her head in shock. When she saw Ji Yiyan's gaze was fixed on Wen Tiantian, she suddenly had a guess.

"Yiyan, don't say you …"

She had just opened her mouth when Ji Kang let out a series of exclamations.

An old man in his seventies took out a palm-sized wooden box from behind him and proudly walked in front of Ji Kang.

"Bro, this time, your sixtieth birthday, I got someone to find some good stuff. "Here, take a look."

The sandalwood box was carved with exquisite patterns. The moment he took it out, just by looking at the box, he could tell that the items inside were extraordinary.

"Elder Zhang, what is this?"

The person called Elder Zhang stroked his beard and carefully opened the wooden box.

"A snuff bottle from the Yongzheng era! I spent a lot of money to get it! "

Everyone sitting around the table was very interested in antiques and came over when they heard that it was from the Qing Dynasty.

The snuff bottle in the box was extremely colorful. Although it had a beautiful shape, it did not look like it was old. Instead, it looked like it had been made recently.

Hundreds of years of history, it shouldn't be so bright.

"That's not right, Elder Zhang. Is your snuff bottle fake?"

"Yeah, this color is too bright. Does it belong to someone else?"

"Impossible!"

At first, Elder Zhang was quite proud of himself. However, when he heard that the snuff bottle he had brought was fake, he was so angered that his face turned ashen.

"It's true!" I got it in secret. "

"Have you looked for the appraiser?"

Elder Zhang was surprised and uncertainly shook his head.

"But I think it's true, it's true!"

But no matter what he said, the others just didn't believe him.

Elder Zhang was so anxious that his face turned red.

"Ji Kang, you don't believe me, right?"

Ji Kang found it difficult to believe. He had studied antiques and the snuff bottle in front of him. No matter how he looked at it, it seemed fake.

Elder Zhang slammed the table in anger when he saw his expression.

"None of you believe me!"

He reached out to put away the box on the table, but a figure suddenly approached him.

Wen Tiantian leaned forward slightly and revealed a gentle smile.

"May I have a look?"
