Chapter Seventy-One: One Wave After Another

  Jiang Xue'er felt more and more conflicted about LN, at this time, Jiang Xue'er changed the subject and said: "I heard that there's a party tomorrow night, will all the celebrities from the business world be going?"

  "Yes." Lin replied.

  "Lin, it's always been you helping out with social events, I've never shown up before. This time, I'd like to attend." Jiang Xue'er said calmly.

  "Then I'll go and arrange it." Lin heard that Jiang Xue'er was going to attend and felt very surprised, hastily saying.

  "Never mind, I can go there myself when the time comes. I'm a bit tired, you should also head back and rest early."

  Jiang Xue'er's heart was very tired. When he heard that Jiang Xue'er had issued a solitary guest order, he could only say: "Okay, then you should rest early."

  Jiang Xue'er returned to her room, and Xiao Nan and Xiao Qi could only pack up their things and go back to rest. At this time, Ruan Lingfeng called Jiang Xue'er to tell her that Ruan Jincheng wanted to invite him out for dinner.

  The next day, Ruan Lingfeng came to pick up Jiang Xueer and others at the Yingwang Hotel, where Ruan Jincheng and his wife were already waiting for them in a private room.

  "Dad, Mom." Ruan Lingfeng led Jiang Xue and her mother into the private room.

  Jiang Xue'er stood behind Ran Lingfeng with two children, and when Ran Jincheng saw them, he got up and smiled: "Xue'er, you're here. Little Nan, Little Qi, come sit with Grandpa."

  Xiao Nan and Xiao Qi didn't run over. Ruan Jincheng saw that the two children were a bit afraid of him, so Ruan Lingfeng said: "Come on, let's sit down quickly."

  Ran Lingfeng pulled out a chair for Jiang Xuer and then sat down beside her.

  "What are you going to eat today, just order, Xiaonan and Xiaoqi, what do you want to eat? Grandpa will order for you." The waiter handed the menu to Xiaonan and Xiaoqi. The two brothers looked at Jiang Xue'er simultaneously, but she didn't speak up, so they didn't move either.

  "Mommy." Little Nan called out.

  Jiang Xue'er scolded the two children, "What's wrong with you two? Grandpa is asking you!" Jiang Xue'er smiled and said to Ruan Jincheng, "Dad, Xiaonan and Xiaoqi are a bit shy."

  "It's okay, kids are like that, take it easy, Xue Er, your dad and I invited you over today, on the one hand to welcome you back, on the other hand because your mom was a bit impatient yesterday, don't mind." Ruan Jincheng said with a smile.

  Mrs. Rong sat beside him with a poker face, she still couldn't accept it.

  Jiang Xue'er smiled and said: "Dad, what are you talking about? Mom is a senior, I respect her so much, how can I be at odds with mom?"

  Mrs. Rong said sharply, "Xue'er, you can have such a big belly, mom is very pleased and happy. But some things, you always have to let me figure it out, mom is like this, if some things are not clear, there will always be knots in my heart."

  Jiang Xue'er's heart sank, what's going on? Can't get it straight? What kind of thing is this? Yesterday was like that, today also want to be like that? Didn't Ruan Lingfeng tell them last night, Jiang Xue'er thought to herself, she, Jiang Xue'er, is an upright person, yet it seems like she's done something shameful, apologizing to certain people.

  Jiang Xue'er looked at Ran Lingfeng and said to Mrs. Ran: "Yes, mom wants to ask what, just ask."

  "Yesterday, Ling Feng said you're the boss of Fuhua Group. Mother just can't understand how a woman like you could have such ability, becoming the largest shareholder of Fuhua and managing the group with great success."

  "I am indeed the largest shareholder of the group, but many things are handled by ln." Jiang Xue'er could hear that Mrs. Ruan was intentionally making things difficult for her, and she could only respond carefully.

  "That can't be everything handled for you, such as some social events, customer requests, you can't not go, right?" Mrs. Ruan said with a sly smile.

  Mrs. Rong asked such a thing, isn't this intentionally making things difficult for Jiang Xue'er? Rong Jincheng said somewhat awkwardly: "You see, today we invited Xue'er to dinner, can't just talk about it, Xue'er, come...this is our Ying Huang's most famous dish, try some."

  "Thanks, Dad," Xue Er said.

  Ran Jincheng stood up and gave Xiaonan and Xiaoqi some dishes, "Xiaonan, Xiaoqi, this is fish jumping dragon gate, try it and see if you like to eat."

  "Mom, it's not easy for us to have dinner together with Xue'er today, so don't ask too much. Come on, eat." Ruan Lingfeng looked at Mrs. Ruan's gloomy face.

  Mrs. Ruan couldn't help but look at Jiang Xue'er with disapproval, and after eating for a while, she said: "Look at the two children, they're so adorable and smart, Xue'er, you're really great, I don't know how you usually teach them, to make them turn out so well."

  Mrs. Rong wanted to find fault with the egg, and Jiang Xue'er had no choice but to say: "Mom, what are you talking about? I don't have that kind of ability, Xiaonan and Xiaoqi usually help take care of them."

  "I knew it, how could a woman have such great abilities, it turns out she's always relied on men." Madam Ruan finally caught Jiang Xue'er's weakness and got angry.

  Ran Lingfeng angrily shouted: "Mom, how can you say that about Xue'er?"

  Jiang Xue'er was still thinking about how the Ruan family could be so good as to invite them to dinner, and she quietly burst into tears.

  "Mommy." Xiaonan and Xiaoqi saw Jiang Xue'er tear up, and anxiously went to help Jiang Xue'er wipe away her tears.

  "You wicked woman, I won't let you bully my mom! My mom is not that kind of person!" Xiao Qi shouted at Madame Ruan.

  "Xue Er is a good girl, how can you say that about Xue Er? Originally, I wanted to have a nice meal with you today and from now on, our family can live in harmony. Xue Er, your mom really spoke out of line, don't be sad." Ruan Jin Chen said softly.

  Mrs. Rang angrily said: "A woman like her, neither here nor there, how can I accept her? Let me tell you, as long as I'm around, she'll never set foot in the Rang household."

  Xiao Nan ran over and hit Ran Tai Tai, "My mom is not that kind of woman, Uncle Lin is not either. You're a bad woman, I'll beat you to death."

  Mrs. Rang suddenly came up in anger, pushed Xiangnan, and Xiangnan didn't stand firm, fell to the ground. Rang Lingfeng went to hug Xiangnan but was pushed away by Jiang Xue'er who ran over.

  "Xiao Nan, does it hurt? Where did you fall?" Jiang Xue'er asked anxiously.

  Ran Ling Feng squatted down and asked: "Xiao Nan, does it hurt anywhere? You have to tell Daddy."

  "You're also too impulsive, Xiaonan is just a kid, how can you treat him like that?" Ruan Jincheng said angrily.

  Xiao Nan fell on her buttocks, it hurt so much, but she didn't say anything or cry. Xiao Nan pushed away Ruan Lingfeng's hand and said: "You're not my dad, my dad wouldn't watch mom being bullied without helping her, you leave, just leave." Xiao Nan's words made Ruan Lingfeng feel very helpless, on one side was his wife and child, on the other side were his parents, what could he do?

  Xiao Nan said to Jiang Xue'er: "Mommy, Xiao Nan is not hurt, don't cry anymore. It's all Xiao Nan's fault for not protecting Mommy well."

  "Xiao Nan, let's go." Jiang Xue'er pulled Xiao Nan and Xiao Qi towards the door.

  Ran Lingfeng chased after her, "Xue Er, Xue Er." Ran Lingfeng grabbed Jiang Xuer's hand, but she pushed him away and left with the two children.

  Today is the greatest humiliation for Jiang Xue'er. Jiang Xue'er was heartbroken, and what made her even more heartbroken was that Rang Lingfeng didn't help her at all. She had endured hardships for five years, gave birth to Xiaonan for him, and raised him up, was this the return he gave her?

  After Jiang Xue'er left, Rang Lingfeng called her. When she saw his call, she simply turned off her phone and didn't want to hear his voice or see him again. Jiang Xue'er returned home and stayed alone in her room.

  Until evening, ln gave Jiang Xueer a call. Jiang Xueer's phone had been unanswered all along, so ln went to Jiang Xueer's home.

  "Uncle Lin." Xiao Qi opened the door and saw Lin, who walked into the living room with him. Lin didn't see Jiang Xue'er.

  "Where's your mom?" Lin asked.

  Watching Xiao Qi and Xiao Nan looking a bit unhappy, seeing them pointing towards the room, she knew Jiang Xue'er was inside.

  "Hey!" Uni shouted.

  Jiang Xue'er heard that it was ln, wiped away her tears and walked out. Ln saw Jiang Xue'er's poor complexion and asked: "What's wrong?"

  Jiang Xue'er forced a smile and said: "I'm fine." Jiang Xue'er glanced at the time before saying: "It's so late."

  "It's okay, the party is still early," Lin said.

  Because of what happened at noon, Jiang Xue'er almost forgot that there was a party tonight. She went to her room to take a look at her clothes and only then did she realize that none of the clothes in her closet were suitable for wearing tonight. "Ln, it seems like I'll have to trouble you again."

  "What was said?" The guest politely asked.

  "Xiao Qi, Mommy is going out tonight, take good care of your little brother at home."

  "Okay, Mommy." As they were leaving, Xiao Qi also reminded Lin to say: "Uncle, I'm entrusting Mommy to you, you have to help me protect Mommy."

  "That's for sure." Lin took Jiang Xue'er to a clothing store to pick out a dress, and then on to an international social gathering.

  Tonight's party is also the largest business gathering in five years, and all major media are present. Because tonight's party requires bringing a female companion, Ruan Lingfeng originally wanted to bring Jiang Xue'er, but Jiang Xue'er has been ignoring him, while the director of the company's business department, Sally, has always had a crush on Ruan Lingfeng and is eager for him to take her.

  Ln and Jiang Xue'er were surrounded by reporters as soon as they appeared.

  "Excuse me, ln, who is this person next to you?"

  "It has been rumored that the chairman of Fuhua Group has stepped down. Will Mr. Lin take over as the new chairman? Why hasn't there been any official news about this?"

  "I heard that Mr. Lin, you are often very close with a mysterious lady, is this her? What's your relationship?"

  In front of many reporters, Jiang Xue'er's expression was calm, but not far away, Ruan Lingfeng saw Jiang Xue'er and ln standing together, making Ruan Lingfeng's heart very sour.

  "Today everyone wants to know who this person next to me is. She is the new chairman of our Fuhua Group, Uni." Lin said with a smile.

  As soon as he spoke out, everyone in the room was stunned and felt unbelievable. All the reporters in the room rushed over and surrounded them.

  "Excuse me, Miss Uni, what means did you use to sit in the chairman position of Fuhua Group?"

  "May I ask what is your relationship with Mr. LN and why are you attending this banquet together?"

  Ran Lingfeng saw Jiang Xuer being surrounded by reporters, asking her questions that left her speechless. Ran Lingfeng rushed over and brought up a major topic that attracted many reporters to gather around him.

  "Ladies and gentlemen of the press, aren't you all curious about why I, Yan Lingfeng, don't have a girlfriend? In fact, I already have someone in my heart."

  Jiang Xue'er heard Ran Lingfeng say this, and her foot slipped, almost falling over. He supported Jiang Xue'er to sit down on one side. Jiang Xue'er had already thought that the reporters would ask her these questions, but she hadn't expected that Ran Lingfeng would also attend tonight. Now Jiang Xue'er was thinking: Yes, he is the president of Ying Huang Group, how could the most famous person in business not appear?

  "Rest here for a while." Lin left Jiang Xue'er sitting alone and went to chat with others.

  At this time, the director of the business department of the British royal family, Slly, walked over.

  "This isn't the secretary of our Emperor Group's president, Uni, right? How did she suddenly become the big boss of Fuhe Group? It's really surprising. I was still wondering what skills you have that caught the eye of our president, didn't expect you to be so hidden and not revealing anything." Slly said sharply.

  Jiang Xue'er stood up, "I don't want to talk to you, please let me pass."

  Blocking Jiang Xue'er, she said in her ear: "Don't think that just because you're the boss of Fuhe Group, you can get the president and be so noble. You don't know how dirty it is behind your back. I'm telling you, the president is mine."

  Jiang Xue'er really didn't want to listen to Slly's boring words, just as she was about to turn her head and leave, she accidentally stepped on her skirt and fell onto the table full of wine cups, getting completely soaked.

  Ran Lingfeng and LN rushed over together to help Jiang Xue'er, "Xue'er."

  When Rang Lingfeng called out "Xue Er", Slly seemed to have known something, and said: "How is this possible, it's impossible."

  Ran Lingfeng turned around and roared at Slly: "Slly, what did you do to her?"

  With a turn of his head, he slapped Slly and said to Ruan Lingfeng: "Ruan Lingfeng, take care of your people."

  "That's enough!" Jiang Xue'er shouted.

  Everyone in the venue saw this scene, and reporters rushed over to take pictures. Jiang Xue'er used a little magic trick on the spot, making all the devices in the hands of the reporters lose their function, unable to take pictures. Jiang Xue'er pushed away the crowd, ran out of the crowd alone, and disappeared without a trace. Ruan Lingfeng and Lin chased after her, leaving behind a group of people at the scene looking at their own devices saying: "What's going on?"

  "What's wrong with everything?" "Why is it like this?"

  When Ruan Lingfeng and LN rushed out, Jiang Xue'er was nowhere to be seen, and her phone calls went unanswered.
