Chapter 576: 576, no hooking up Three with Four
Jiang Quanyi felt somewhat uneasy under her gaze.
This aunt seems soft and gentle, yet he knew her methods were incredibly cunning.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have swept in when Su Yuntang clearly had a girlfriend, and even ended up becoming Su Yuntang’s wife.
Although the Su Family didn’t compare to those aristocratic families, they had a respectable status in Nancheng.
The life of Mrs. Su was quite leisurely, enjoying delicious food and drinks every day, attended by servants and drivers, and hardly ever returning to her parental home.
“Quanyi.” Jiang Yi crossed her arms, “Originally, I didn’t invite you to today’s celebration banquet. But since you’ve come on your own, let me be clear: the past is the past and the present is the present. Even if you still harbor feelings for Su Wanwan, you must put them away! She’s married to Huo Jingshen, so use your pig brain and think, can you afford to offend the Huo Family?”
“Aunt, isn’t that too harsh? What did I do? I didn’t do anything! What about offending or not, you mustn’t wrongfully accuse innocent people!”
“Accusing innocent people? Huh, do I need to remind you of your own deplorable actions?”
Jiang Quanyi continued to smile with no sign of shame, “Aunt, your husband just got promoted to be the bureau chief. As his nephew, why can’t I come to share in the happiness? It’s a big celebration and I am here to lend some support to the Su family. You should be happy.”
“Don’t try and fool me! What exactly is in your mind, you think I don’t know? I’m warning you, we are not only dining with Su Family’s relatives tonight, but also with many colleagues from the bureau and city leaders, all respectable figures in Nancheng! If you dare to cause any trouble, don’t blame me if I turn ruthless!”
“Aunt.” Jiang Quanyi tried to please her by holding her arm, “Don’t be so fierce. I know what to do. I’m not a kid anymore, why are you so nervous?”
“As long as you know.” Jiang Yi’s expression softened slightly.
“By the way, Aunt, you just mentioned that Su Wanwan is married to the Huo Family. What happened, didn’t she get engaged to Xing Yuyun?”
Thinking of this, Jiang Quanyi felt distressed.
From Xing Yuyun to Huo Jingshen, Su Wanwan didn’t just leap three steps ahead—she’s practically a carp that leapt through the dragon’s gate!
Jiang Yi merely stated, “In any case, times have changed. She’s not like the women you can easily control. No amount of sweet talk can win her over. She was always willful and proud, and now she has the backing of the Huo Family. You should weigh it yourself and proceed with caution.”
Having said that, she turned around and opened the door.
Jiang Quanyi stood there, smiling in an ingratiating and pleasing manner, “Thank you, Aunt!”
Jiang Yi paused for a moment, and then quickly continued to walk away.

Finally, Su Wanwan took a set of photo albums downstairs.
When she got downstairs, Jiang Yi said with a smile, “Xiaogu and the others have already arrived at the hotel, we should get ready to leave too. We can rest for a bit once we arrive. Dinner starts promptly at seven.”
“Alright, alright.”
Everyone got up, chatting cordially as they walked towards the exit.
As Su Wanwan looked around, she finally realized that, amongst all the young people present, her husband was undoubtedly the most outstanding!
Some people just needed to stand there, not saying or doing anything, with distant expressions and gentle charisma, naturally emanating a strong aura from within that commanded awe and deterred any misbehavior before it could happen.
Arm in arm with him, Su Wanwan walked out of the room with a smile on her face.
At the garage, just as Su Wanwan was about to open the passenger door, a sweet and saccharin female voice suddenly echoed.
“Sister Wanwan.”
Turning around, Su Wanwan saw Jiang Yixuan, “What’s up?”
This Jiang Yixuan was the youngest daughter of Jiang Yi’s second brother. She was only two months younger than her, also twenty years old.
With a slightly upturned phoenix eyes, her speech was affected and overly dramatic. She had been eyeing Huo Jingshen in the living room earlier.
She clearly had ulterior motives!
Feeling tired, Su Wanwan sighed internally.
The problem was that her own husband was just too outstanding. Hell, she hadn’t even dealt with Qiao Zixin yet, and now there was another demoness after him!?
Jiang Yixuan, oblivious that her intentions had been seen through, walked over with her sister Jiang Yinong, smiling, “Sister Wanwan, can my sister Yinong and I hitch a ride with you guys to the hotel?”
As the older sister, Jiang Yinong seemed much more mature and her gaze quite dignified.
Su Wanwan circled her phoenix eyes over the two faces, “Just the two of you?”
Jiang Yixuan nodded immediately, oblivious to any suspicion, “Yes.”
They were relatives after all, Su Wanwan shouldn’t be so severe, right?
Unexpectedly…
“Sorry, I have a cleanliness obsession. I don’t like other women in my husband’s car. So, please take a taxi instead.” After saying that, she sat directly in the car.
As soon as the car door closed.
“Drive quickly!”
Huo Jingshen: “…”
With no words, he quickly reversed, turned the steering wheel, and quickly drove off.
As she left, Su Wanwan, peering through the car window, couldn’t help but burst out laughing when she saw the sisters looking as if they’d just eaten shit.
She’d gone toe to toe with Jiang Yi; she obviously wouldn’t show any mercy to these skanks from Jiang Yi’s maternal family!
Then, she looked at Huo Jingshen.
The chiseled, good-looking features on his side profile were perfect. His jaw was particularly attractive, his back was straight, and his broad shoulders exhibited an upright masculine posture. Even the way he drove was filled with a charm she couldn’t quite put into words.
“Old charmer!”
An old charmer oozing charm all day long!
Huo Jingshen once again: “…”
“Don’t you dare to flirt around when we get to the restaurant, understood?” Su Wanwan added.
Huo Jingshen shot her a glance, “Take note of your cousin at the hotel.”
Su Wanwan laughed, “Don’t worry, I’ll protect you. No sluts will get near you and I won’t let any vixens snatch you away.”
Huo Jingshen: “…”
Was that what he was expressing?
Huo Jingshen had to remind her again, “Do not stay alone with her, keep your phone close, and if anything feels off, call me immediately.”
“Understood.”
She wasn’t some naive bunny, if Qiao Zixin dared to pull any tricks, we’ll see who ends up on the worst end!
…
“How dreadful! Did you hear that, big sis? That bitch Su Wanwan was so rude! She dared to say we’re dirty!”
Jiang Yixuan glared at the departing Bentley Mu Shang, her eyes filled with envy.
A ten-million-dollar luxury car! She had never encountered such a vehicle in person in her life, and she sadly missed a chance to step into it.
Why could that peasant girl sit so comfortably in there?
“Seductress!”
“She must have used some underhanded means to climb into Huo Jingshen’s bed. Why would she flaunt this to me?”
She is just an illegitimate daughter! On what grounds does she dare to look down upon us?”
Other than her face, what else could possibly make her worthy of Huo Jingshen?”
“That wretched girl…”
“That’s enough, Yixuan.” Jiang Yinong interrupted her, “Auntie is coming.”
Jiang Yi was already on her way over, “Yinong, Yixuan, you guys will take Quanyi’s car.”
“Alright.”
Once Jiang Yi had left, Jiang Yixuan started ranting again, “It’s absolutely shameful! Even though our uncle is the bureau chief, his family only has one car! And just one driver! It’s so laughable!”
Jiang Yinong frowned at hearing this.
Her sister didn’t have a princess’s life, but she always dreamt she was a princess.
It’s so infuriating!

Today, the Su family had booked a small hall on the second floor of the Huashang Restaurant and arranged nearly ten banquet tables. Additionally, they also booked several rooms on the fifth floor for distinguished guests to rest.
As the guests gradually arrived, the hall became more and more lively and bustling with cheer and glimmer.
Su Wanwan looked around. It seemed like there was another event happening in the next hall, there were even a lot of reporters with cameras.
…
As soon as Huo Jingshen entered the hall, Qiao Zixin’s eyes were glued to him.
Draped in a standard three-piece black suit of exquisite texture, with the collar slightly opened, revealing a black cashmere sweater and an impeccably white shirt within. His height, nearly reaching 1.9 meters, made him stand out from the crowd. His looks and demeanor made him seem like a man with his own magnetic field, drawing all her attention.
Su Wanwan never left his side, and they were constantly surrounded by people.
She stood there, watching them from afar, their alluring couple-like appearance.
Their perfect match stole all the limelight!
Although it was her uncle’s celebration banquet, the two of them undeniably became the central figures.
Su Yuntang usually felt embarrassed to talk about Su Wanwan, his illegitimate daughter. Most outsiders only knew about his daughter Su Yanyan, who had recently divorced and gone to study in South Korea.
With Su Wanwan’s appearance today, it was simply explosive.
