“Welcome, Huo Qing.” Ji Yan also looked at Huo Qing calmly. Huo Qing showed a smile, and the youth’s brilliance suddenly shot away.
Han Lin couldn’t help walking over and cautiously called out, “Senior Huo?” In the past, she had called Huo Qing directly. He didn’t like her. She knew that Huo Qing didn’t like unruly girls anymore, so she didn’t dare to show her true colors in front of Huo Qing.
Ji Yan glanced at the two of them, shook her head, and went to find Li Wenjing, who was looking for delicious food, leaving space for the two young people.
Huo Qing’s eyes finally fell on Han Lin. She was a little distant, but not as cold as before. “Well, nice to meet you, Junior Sister.”
“Did he ask her well?” Han Lin held back the joy in her heart and showed the most sweet smile, just like a girl who had got her beloved item. She was so naive that she didn’t want to put on an act.
Huo Qing was a little surprised. He knew that the eldest daughter of the Han family was extremely arrogant. He had never liked this kind of girl. Especially at that time, it was because of Han Lin’s unrulyness that he got to know Sister Ji Yan, who had been bullied by her.
Would such a girl show such an expression?
“Well, Senior Huo Qing, this is your first time coming to the annual meeting of a merchant family, isn’t it? I’ll show you around, right?” Han Lin plucked up the courage to say.
Huo Qing came with Li Qingjing, but Li Qingjing had already gone to look for delicious food. Huo Qing simply nodded, but in fact, she had no interest in it.
Compared to the Ji Gui family’s annual meeting, the Huo family was not the least bit inferior.
Han Lin was even happier when she heard that he had agreed. She could not hide the joy in her eyes.
Maggie, who was not far away, saw this scene and sneered. “Humph, she is just a humble woman. How dare she put on airs and mock me?”
But who was the young man who didn’t seem to be simple? He seemed to know Ji Yan as well. Maggie became more and more annoyed. Why did a woman like Ji Yan, who didn’t have any status and background, have so many rich people?
These social circles should belong to her!
Ji Yan didn’t know Maggie’s jealousy and hatred in her heart, so she chatted with Li Wenjing. As the Young Madam of the Shang family, many people came up to greet her.
Although she was not from a noble family, she knew the basic etiquette and was able to talk and communicate with them. Mrs. Shang, who was secretly observing all this, was naturally more satisfied.
“Hey, don’t tell me that your daughter-in-law is really a phoenix from a chicken’s nest. You have taught her well,” Mrs. Liu, a good friend of Mrs. Shang, said with a smile.
“Yes.” Mrs. Shang nodded and replied. Ji Yan didn’t look like she was teaching her, but she was quite good at etiquette. It seemed that she had put in a lot of effort.
If that was the case, Ji Yan’s daughter-in-law wouldn’t have no advantages at all.
“Where’s your family’s An Yun?” asked Mrs. Shang.
Hearing that, Madame Liu pouted in one direction. “Look, they’re not here.”
As soon as Liu Anyun entered the venue, she looked around and walked toward Ji Yan without hesitation.
“My daughter seems to have her own personality, but she is on good terms with your daughter-in-law,” Mrs. Liu said.
“Ji Yan, hey, I’m here.” Liu Anyun patted Ji Yan’s shoulder from behind, which made Ji Yan slightly shocked.
Turning around, she saw that Liu Anyun was wearing a simple black dress, as neat as her. Ji Yan smiled and asked, “Why are you so late?”
Liu Anyun sighed and said, “I didn’t intend to come here at first. I’m going to the archaeological tomorrow. Isn’t this my mother? She insisted on asking me to come here. She said that the annual meeting of the Ji Gui family is the best way to make more friends with young talents.”
Ji Yan burst into laughter. She had long heard Liu Anyun complain that the most urgent thing for the Liu family was her marriage. After all, Liu Anyun had never been in love in her twenties.
Hearing this, Li Wenjing raised her head from the cake and looked at the two of them. She said seriously, “I think there are a lot of men’s elites here.”
Liu Anyun and Ji Yan both laughed. Liu Anyun pointed at Li Wenjing and asked, “Is she the friend you worried about last time?”
Ji Yan nodded helplessly, and Li Wenjing was confused. Ji Yan quickly introduced them to each other. Liu Anyun and Li Wenjing were the kind of girls who didn’t care about anything. As soon as they saw each other, they felt like old friends and soon began to chat.
She was a little speechless. One of them liked to talk about archaeology, and the other liked to talk about management and love from time to time. Why did they fall in love with each other so quickly?
As he sighed, Lan Si waved his hand hard at Ji Yan. Confused, Ji Yan looked over and happened to meet Shang Jin’s deep gaze.
She was slightly stunned, as if she was immersed in the vast sea in his eyes and could not extricate herself.
After a long while, she slowly came to her senses, and he was already walking towards her.
Time seemed to have stopped all of a sudden. It was not until he introduced her in person that Ji Yan returned to the real world, with a deep and shallow light in her eyes.
“This is my wife, Ji Yan.” Like an oath, he held her hand and introduced her to everyone under the spotlight.
Under the crystal lamp, Ji Yan didn’t look like Cinderella from an ordinary family at all. She was unique and outstanding. She stood there like a noble and graceful princess. Who dared to say that she didn’t deserve to be the Young Madam of the Shang family? Who could say that she didn’t deserve to be Shang Jingshen?
This woman was as beautiful as a piece of raw jade. Now, her beauty was finally carved out. Holding her hand, she felt as if she had a world.
Ji Yan also held Shang Jinshen’s hand tightly, and the staff of the Ji Gui group burst into cheers. Because Ji Yan and Shang Jinshen took photos of the video personally, the two of them walked up to everyone warmly.
Many people in all the Ji Gui groups admired Shang Jingshen and his wife, while Maggie, the woman who had brought a lot of negative effects to the Ji Gui group, was hated by many people.
Maggie was standing in a dark corner at the moment, looking at this scene with a gloomy face. The last time she returned to China, she was so confident that she appeared at the banquet of the Ji Gui family. It was so dazzling that she appeared in front of everyone.
She still remembered the last time she successfully made Shang Jinshen let go of Ji Yan’s hand at the party. But this time, not long after, she ended up like a supporting actress. She could only stay in the corner and watch the protagonist.
“Haha, are you jealous? You can’t be jealous.” An ear-piercing male voice appeared in Maggie’s ear. She glared at him and saw Han Xian’s unrestrained face.
This person was not outstanding, but he had a good family background, so he could appear at the annual meeting like this. As for Maggie, because of the bankruptcy of the Maggie family, she had to become a star actress despised by the rich and powerful society. How could she accept this?
