Chapter 359: Bai Ting Is Humiliated

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

She had naturally heard Zheng Wen’s nonsense. When Mi Li heard about it, she was furious at home. The Bai and Si families had already held an engagement banquet. If Zheng Wen’s daughter-in-law was Jiang An, Bai Ting would be a complete joke.

Mi Li wanted to rush to the Si residence to argue, but she was stopped by Bai Ting.

If this matter was true, the Bai family would only be at a disadvantage. After all, she could not compete with the Jiang family’s daughter. However, if Zheng Wen’s wishful thinking was one-sided, Si Cheng should come to explain to her.

However, Bai Ting waited for a few days for Si Cheng to appear, but he did not. She knew that Si Cheng agreed with this matter.

Bai Ting had never been humiliated like this before. Si Cheng actually pursued his ex-wife under the premise of being engaged to her.

All the good impressions in the past had turned into hatred. Bai Ting had been the apple of her family’s eye since she was young. After she grew up, she was always obedient. She thought that her life would always be smooth-sailing, but Si Cheng had given her the most serious humiliation.

She stood in the crowd and watched this farce. She had already decided in her heart that she would not marry Si Cheng. No matter how much she liked him, she would not marry him. The face of her Bai family was much more important than love.

The others at the banquet naturally noticed the Jiang family’s actions. They were puzzled as to why the young master of the Jiang family wanted to express goodwill to Qin Zhen. It seemed like they were very close. They did not think that Jiang Yan would do such a thing.

“The Jiang family has never messed around outside. They should look down on their mistresses. Why did they send that woman an invitation?” Lady A said.

Lady B held her wine glass and said, “Although they don’t like mistresses, they probably hate Si Cheng and his mother even more.”

Lady C leaned over. “Why?”

“Zheng Wen has been going around saying that Jiang An wants to remarry Si Cheng. This news has spread like wildfire. The Jiang family was definitely unhappy when they heard it,” Lady B said.

Lady C still did not understand. “Then is this true?”

“Of course it’s fake.” Lady B was very certain. “With the Jiang family’s status, Jiang An can find whoever she wants. Why would she remarry Si Cheng? Even if she remarries, she would have made the Si family cancel the engagement with the Bai family.”

Everyone felt that what Lady B said made sense. It was obvious that the Si family was making things up.

After saying this, Lady B left and walked to Yu Feng’s side in the corner. “Cousin, everything has been settled.”

She was Yu Feng’s distant cousin. Although the two of them were not very close by blood, they had always had a good relationship when they were young. After Yu Feng got married, she also supported her, allowing her to live very smoothly in her in-laws’ family.

Therefore, when Yu Feng asked her for help, she agreed without thinking.

With her words, a wave of discussion instantly rose in the banquet hall. The noblewomen gathered in groups of twos and threes to debate what the Jiang family meant.

Si Lin, who was walking around with a glass of wine, understood what the Jiang family meant. They were not expressing goodwill to their mother for no reason. Instead, they were more willing to let them take over than Zheng Wen and her son.

Si Lin couldn’t suppress the smile on her lips. Although Si Cheng had found a backer from somewhere to temporarily suppress her and her brother, the Jiang family’s current attitude was disadvantageous to him.

If he continued to be delusional, the Jiang family would definitely support her brother. At that time, he would be able to pull him down from the position of heir.

When Si Lin thought of this, the corners of her lips curled up into a smile. She decided to do nothing and watch Si Cheng make a mistake. Sooner or later, he would bury everything he had.

Si Cheng didn’t realize all of this. He was anxiously searching for Jiang An in the banquet hall. After all, he only had a place to sweet-talk when he saw people. Coupled with the recent rumors, he believed that Jiang An knew what to choose.

Just as Si Cheng was feeling extremely anxious, Jiang An finally appeared with the children. The three brothers hurried over to welcome her. This was also the first time the children had attended a banquet.

Jiang An’s beauty naturally stunned everyone again. The noblewomen present were even more infatuated with the two children. Even the noblewomen who did not have children could not resist. Jiang Yu and Jiang Yi were too cute. They were simply two dolls carved out of pink jade.

Zheng Wen felt that her heart was about to melt. She said, “As expected of my grandson. He’s really too beautiful. He’s exactly the same as you when you were young.”

Actually, Zheng Wen didn’t even remember what Si Cheng looked like when he was young. At that time, she was obsessed with shopping and threw the child to the nanny to take care of. She only started taking care of Si Cheng when he was five years old..
