"Nuan Nuan, Auntie, it really is you." Jiang Mu Yu said smilingly, looking at Jiang Nuan.
Jiang Nuan gave a slight nod to her.
Grandpa and the Jiang family had already fallen out, but Jiang Mu Yu still visited Grandpa frequently.
Jin Yan also gave a perfunctory nod upon seeing her.
"Wow! Nuan Nuan, this dress looks so beautiful on you! Are you buying this gown, Sis? If you wear it out, the回头率 (huítóulǜ -回头率 is a term referring to the rate of people turning their heads to look at someone) will be a hundred percent!"
Jiang Mu Yu looked at Jiang Nuan with envy. Both the Lu and Jiang families were very wealthy.
The combined wealth of the two families meant that Jiang Nuan would never be able to spend it all in several lifetimes.
She was envious yet jealous. With the precedent set by Jiang Mu Yan, she dared not do anything rash, only maintaining the relationship between the two families.
She hoped that when she got married in the future, her great-uncle would give her a generous dowry.
Then she could also live a good life.
Before Jiang Nuan could speak, K, standing beside her, said unceremoniously, "It is indeed beautiful, but it's not for her. What's the point of buying it? To admire it?" His tone was very impolite.
Jiang Mu Yu's face instantly became awkward because the person speaking was K.
He was a famous designer in the fashion industry, and every word he spoke carried a deep meaning.
Being rebutted by him like this, Jiang Mu Yu immediately felt embarrassed.
Moreover, this K was a very unique figure.
Those who ordered clothes from him had to meet his aesthetic standards to wear his creations. He was very proud, and one could not buy his clothes even with money, yet his business was booming.
Socialites loved to come here to customize clothes that suited them.
Before the New Year, due to feeling unhappy, her weight had exceeded 120 pounds. She had lost 10 pounds in the past few days, and coming here, it was simply impossible for her to order clothes from him.
She had just passed by when she saw Jiang Nuan and Jin Yan.
She also could not offend K, so she forced a smile, "Mr. K, I don't understand, I hope you won't be angry. I just thought my sister looked particularly beautiful wearing it."
Jiang Nuan's beauty was truly enviable.
Jiang Nuan didn't say anything. If the "big shot" said she wasn't suitable, she would take it off.
After Jiang Nuan changed out of the dress, she saw her mother was already paying and preparing to wear it to the banquet the next evening.
Jiang Nuan walked over and said, "Mom, for the banquet tomorrow night, let's be low-key, don't steal the spotlight."
However, Jin Yan didn't think so. She patted her daughter's hand to comfort her, "Nuan Nuan, don't think like that. Times have changed. It's not like the ancient concubines appreciating flowers and moon. Wearing red was feared to overshadow the empress's splendor. Now, it's popular to wear whatever looks beautiful. Tomorrow, many people will know you are my daughter. Those people are dying to have their eyes fixed on you. You must dress beautifully. So what if you steal the spotlight? We have the means to do so."
Jin Yan was very proud. Her daughter was stunning!
This was her greatest advantage!
Jiang Nuan: "..." Alright, as long as Mom is happy.
Hearing that it was for a banquet tomorrow night, Jiang Mu Yu couldn't help but ask, "Auntie, is it the welcome banquet for Miss Ye?"
Jin Yan nodded, "It is her!"
Jiang Mu Yu had guessed correctly.
The Ye family was planning to host a welcome banquet for Ye An Ran. Families with a certain reputation had received invitations, even the fallen Jiang family had received one, and she was to represent them.
Before Jiang Mu Yan was around, these matters never fell to her.
Now that Jiang Mu Yan was locked up in prison, such opportunities to be in the spotlight finally came her way.
If she could snag a wealthy husband, her life would be perfect.
K handed the receipt to Jin Yan, "Mrs. Lu, I will personally deliver it tomorrow. I'd like to see for myself how Miss Lu looks in it."
K glanced at Jiang Nuan with a smile.
Jiang Nuan: "..."
She had nothing more to say.
She had always known her beauty was a source of trouble, but there was nothing she could do. This was her capital!
Jiang Nuan straightened her back with a hint of pride, her beautiful face radiating more confidence.
K saw this and couldn't help but chuckle.
After confirming the details, Jin Yan looked at the handsome and charming K, her smile deepening, "Alright, Little K, goodbye!"
Jin Yan calmly pulled her daughter away. This Little K kept looking at her daughter, clearly with ulterior motives.
Hmph! She wouldn't let him look at her daughter any more than that.
K, who had gone from Mr. K to Little K: "..."
He looked at Jin Yan's receding back and shook his head with a smile.
Outside K's studio, Jiang Mu Yu couldn't help but say, "Sister, isn't it strange? The youngest daughter of the Ye family had decided to settle abroad, but she lost her memory due to a car accident."
"Lost her memory?"
"Lost her memory?"
Jiang Nuan and her mother spoke simultaneously.
Jiang Mu Yu quickly nodded at the surprised mother and daughter, "Yes, she lost her memory. I heard from some gossip that she returned because of a car accident abroad. It's said she lost her memory. She was studying finance abroad, and she forgot all the knowledge she had learned, only recognizing her parents. The Ye family knew she was intelligent and didn't give up on her. Da Feng Novel Network.
It's said that Chairman Ye personally went abroad to bring her back."
"And the person who harmed Ye An Ran was Chairman Ye's daughter from his mistress. Jealous of Ye An Ran's talent and stunning looks, fearing Ye An Ran would inherit Chairman Ye's company, she deliberately arranged a car accident, which caused Ye An Ran to lose her memory.
Some of my friends told me this, I don't know the specifics."
Jin Yan said with emotion, "Since ancient times, the bloodiness of the wealthy families remains unseen, but when it's reported, it's enough to shatter one's worldview. Chairman Ye is also reaping what he sowed."
"Isn't that right, Auntie? But this matter hasn't been exposed yet. It's said that Chairman Ye's mistress, upon hearing that her daughter had committed illegal acts, found Chairman Ye late at night and handed him a stack of documents, asking Chairman Ye to sign them, transferring the assets under Chairman Ye's name to her. If he didn't transfer them, her only son wouldn't be given to him. It's said that the son born outside is still young but very accomplished. As for whether the transfer was made, that remains unknown."
Jiang Nuan casually listened to the gossip, not thinking much of it.
Upon reaching the ground floor, Jiang Mu Yu smiled and bid them farewell.
"Sister, Auntie, I'll see you tomorrow!" Jiang Mu Yu waved her hand and hailed a taxi by the roadside to leave.
Jin Yan looked at her daughter and said, "Nuan Nuan, while you were away, she visited your Grandpa frequently. But I feel she still has ill intentions. Grandpa said he had cut ties with them and told them not to come, but this child wouldn't listen, visiting Grandpa every few days. She occasionally brings up the Jiang family's business, implicitly asking Grandpa to support them."
"Your father heard it many times and wanted to help, after all, they are family. But your Grandpa disagreed, saying he had helped them for over ten years and couldn't help them anymore. Your second grandfather and great-aunt are like wolves that can never be satisfied."
"When your father heard this, he gave up the idea."
Jiang Nuan had also witnessed the shamelessness of her second grandfather's family.
She looked at her mother and said, "Grandpa is right. Help the urgent, not the poor. Grandpa supported them before, making them dependent. They wished everything belonged to them, even willing to kill Grandpa at all costs to take everything he owned."
"Isn't that the truth? Let's go, Nuan Nuan, let's go buy groceries." Jin Yan took her daughter towards a nearby supermarket.
