The two people whose names were called looked over and smiled. “Fanya is here?”
Qin Fanya elegantly raised her drink and greeted them.
The two of them waved their hands and said, “We’ll go over there to look for Jiang Ning. Are you guys going over?”
The drink Qin Fanya raised immediately felt heavy.
Jiang Yiqian was also stunned. Then, she remembered that today was Jiang Ning’s home ground after all. It was not strange for them to greet her, so she said, “Then when are you coming back?”
“It depends. Do you want to come with us?”
Jiang Yiqian quickly looked at Qin Fanya’s expression and shook her head. “No, you guys go first.”
They did not say much and walked towards Jiang Ning.
Shi Jin and a few other friends she usually played with were by Jiang Ning’s side. After this group of young masters and young mistresses went over, they quickly joined their camp.
Young people talked a lot when they were together. Furthermore, Jiang Ning was actually a very interesting person. In the past, everyone had been struck by her unruly and willful behavior and did not want to interact with her much.

However, she was no longer the immature and irrational little girl from back then. She chatted happily and was like a fish in water. Coupled with her sweet looks, many people her age realized that making friends with her seemed to be quite good.
Furthermore, everyone was happy to befriend Shi Jin and the others.
Seeing this, Jiang Yiqian persuaded Qin Fanya, “Fanya, they should be here soon.”
“Do I care about them?” Qin Fanya slammed her cup on the table.
“Of course not. How are they worthy?” Jiang Yiqian thought to herself that those people should be back soon.
However, as time passed, the group of people still surrounded Jiang Ning and spoke. Even if Jiang Ning wanted to greet the elders of the various families, they did not disperse. They continued to surround Shi Jin and chatted happily.
Did they still remember that Qin Fanya was here? It seemed like they didn’t remember anyone.
Jiang Yiqian felt stifled and quickly found an excuse to go to the washroom.
“Yiqian, why are you here?” Liu Fang pulled her back. “Didn’t you go to Jiang Ning’s side?”
“Jiang Ning is now the center of attention. How can I compare to her?” Jiang Yiqian’s tone was sour.
Liu Fang asked mysteriously, “Do you think there’s still hope for what you said last time?”
“Yes, I almost forgot if you didn’t mention it,” Jiang Yiqian said. “Aunt, didn’t you always pursue Fu Zhaoxiang in the past? Why don’t you give it a try now? Back then, I remember that Grandpa Fu had such plans. He wanted Fu Zhaoxiang and Qiu Xingmi to divorce and even arranged for you to meet and go on blind dates.”
“That was all in the past. At that time, Qiu Xingmi was sick. Old Master Fu couldn’t wait for Fu Zhaoxiang to divorce her, so he asked me to see Fu Zhaoxiang.”
“This means that you have this opportunity.”
Liu Fang said sourly, “Sigh, unfortunately, Fu Zhaoxiang didn’t agree at that time. Can he still agree now?”
Jiang Yiqian leaned close to her ear and said a few words. She then handed her a bag of medicine and said, “Aunt, opportunities are for those who are prepared. I heard that Qiu Xingmi is covered in scars. Her marriage to Fu Zhaoxiang has long ceased to exist in name.”
“But what if he causes a ruckus and refuses to admit it…”
“Even if he doesn’t admit it, for the sake of the Fu Corporation’s reputation, he can’t blow things up. At that time, even if you can’t obtain his status and recognition, wouldn’t it be very simple to get him to pay money?”
Liu Fang thought about it and felt that it made sense. She was a social butterfly. When she was young, she was surrounded by men and led a very comfortable life. However, as she grew older, she was no longer as popular as when she was young.
If she did not take advantage of this opportunity to gain something, she would not have a chance in the future.
Perhaps the situation was not as bad as she had imagined? What if Fu Zhaoxiang really acknowledged her as his lover? Wouldn’t that be even more worth it?
“Yiqian, I really didn’t expect you to have such thoughts.” Liu Fang really looked at her in a different light.
“I’m just thinking about my aunt’s future.”
Jiang Yiqian spoke self-righteously. In fact, she was thinking about her future. Now that Jiang Ning had taken office and her life in the Jiang family was too difficult, she had to tie herself tighter to Qin Fanya.
She did not have any other ability to catch Qin Fanya’s eye, but if her aunt and Fu Zhaoxiang’s affair tonight were to be exposed at Jiang Ning’s inauguration banquet and ruin Jiang Ning’s limelight, her status in Qin Fanya’s heart would definitely not be ordinary.
“Alright, when I succeed, I definitely won’t mistreat you.” Liu Fang was used to doing such things and had no face to speak of. However, she did not know that Jiang Yiqian had other plans.
Jiang Yiqian quickly returned to Qin Fanya’s side. Seeing that the young masters and young mistresses had not come yet, it seemed like they really did not intend to come and support Qin Fanya.
Qin Fanya sat for a while and said, “I’m a little uncomfortable. I want to leave first.”
“Fanya, don’t leave so early. I heard that Grandpa Fu, Grandpa Tang, and the others are all coming over later. Aren’t you going to see them?”
Hearing Jiang Yiqian say this, Qin Fanya hesitated for a moment and dispelled the thought of leaving early.
Sure enough, a moment later, Old Master Fu, Old Master Wang, Old Master Tang, Old Master Jiang, and the others appeared.
With so many elders attending, it could be said that they had given Jiang Ning enough face, making her status in the entire Hong Kong multiply.
Qin Fanya had no choice but to bear with her discomfort and greet the elders.
“Fanya is also here. It’s really a rare day. All the talented young girls of our Hong Kong’s younger generation are gathered here. Look over there. Jiang Ning and Shi Jin are all here,” Old Master Wang praised.
Old Master Jiang said with a smile, “Fanya and Shi Jin are indeed talented. Jiang Ning, don’t praise her first. She’s just lucky.”
“Hey, Old Brother, you’re too humble. Jiang Ning relied on winning the diamond mine this time to be one of the top young people in Hong Kong.”
Qin Fanya was by the side. When she heard these words, she had no choice but to maintain a smile.
Old Master Jiang chuckled and said, “In that case, Shi Jin letting Zhaoxiang and Xingmi come out of the Southern Courtyard can be considered even more talented.”
“That’s true. We’re all envious.” Everyone looked at Old Master Fu.
Old Master Fu smiled without any modesty. “That’s because our Xiuyuan has good taste to have found such a good girl.”
Jiang Ning and Shi Jin walked over.
Jiang Ning’s laughter reached them first. “What are you praising me for, grandpas? Why aren’t you praising me in person? Let me hear it and be happy.”
