CHAPTER 313: CHAPTER 313

Jiang Moxi still couldn’t understand why Fu Youhan, on a whim, asked her to join him at the banquet tonight.

She only knew that last night, Fu Youhan had once again asked about the incident at the Hunting Ground. To avoid his questioning, she took the initiative to invite Fu Youhan to join her in a bath.

The bath, of course, left her completely exhausted and her consciousness blurry.

Then, this morning upon waking up, Fu Youhan said she agreed to attend the evening banquet with him last night.

Jiang Moxi really couldn’t remember whether she had agreed to join the man, but, feeling he might ask about the Hunting Ground, she could only agree to attend the banquet.

The evening gown was chosen by Fu Youhan, an understated yet luxurious champagne color that left nothing uncovered, yet fully showcased her lovely figure.

Dressed in this gown, even with just a touch of lipstick, she shone like the stars, stunningly beautiful and beyond compare.

Jiang Moxi had accompanied Feng Ming to similar events before, so even standing alone, she didn’t seem out of place; rather, she was the most dazzling presence.

However, Jiang Moxi quickly noticed some unfriendly gazes on her, and when she abruptly turned around, she saw Jiang Weiwei approaching with a smile; "Moxi, what are you doing here?"

Today, Jiang Weiwei was wearing a black cocktail dress, appropriate for the occasion but hardly dazzling. So she applied the reddest lipstick, aiming to elevate her presence to towering heights.

But to Jiang Moxi, Jiang Weiwei’s attire, coupled with her fiery red lips, made her look like a wicked witch.

"It’s none of your business." Jiang Moxi didn’t want anything to do with the Jiang Family, so she coldly responded and then messaged Fu Youhan to ask when he would arrive.

Originally, Fu Youhan had agreed to pick her up after school, have her change, and then attend the banquet together.

But something happened, and when she got out of school, Fu Youhan suddenly called to tell her that he was unexpectedly tied up and she should go to the banquet on her own first.

"Moxi, how you got to the banquet might indeed be none of my business. But do you know who this event is for?"

As Jiang Weiwei cunningly posed this question, Jiang Moxi just received a reply from Fu Youhan and casually asked Jiang Weiwei, "For whom?"

"It seems you really don’t know. THE ONE Corporation is organizing this banquet to thank our Jiang Family for helping Lady Suchen to find the Emerald Necklace. In plain terms, this event is for you; you get what I mean, right?"

Jiang Weiwei’s purpose in telling Jiang Moxi was to make her aware of the significance of the necklace she recovered, stirring Jiang Moxi’s unwillingness to give up the benefits she had in hand.

The best outcome would be for her to fight with the Jiang Family right there, causing a disgraceful scene for the whole family, ideally losing THE ONE Corporation’s influential support.

Otherwise, if the Jiang Family were to cling to THE ONE Corporation’s support forever, they would always remember the blunder Jiang Weiwei made and despise her existence.

Jiang Moxi opened Fu Youhan’s reply: "Wait another twenty minutes, already on the way."

After seeing Fu Youhan’s message, Jiang Moxi felt a bit better, so she kept talking with Jiang Weiwei.

"The necklace I’ve given them is theirs. Naturally, the banquet is held for them as well. There’s no need for you to cause trouble here."

After leaving those words, Jiang Moxi turned and walked away.

Jiang Weiwei had tried everything yet failed to account for Jiang Moxi truly willing to relinquish the Jiang Family’s wealth and to have nothing more to do with them.

Watching Jiang Moxi’s enchantingly dressed figure walk away, Jiang Weiwei’s mind quickly raced with calculations.

At that moment, she suddenly spotted the jewelry tycoon An Mengze entering the banquet hall with an obscure eighteen-line celebrity...

Seeing An Mengze, Jiang Weiwei recalled his forceful advances that night, disgustingly unbearable, and hurried back to stand by Yu Man.

"Weiwei, later your grandfather will introduce you to Lady Suchen, why are you wandering off?"

Yu Man had been chatting with a wealthy lady and turned around to find Jiang Weiwei gone. Now that she was back, she couldn’t help but scold her.

"I just saw Moxi and went to say hello."

Jiang Weiwei hated that Yu Man had been exceptionally harsh on her over trivial matters recently, but when facing Yu Man, she still maintained a pleasant smile.

Hearing the news about Jiang Moxi, Yu Man’s expression was somewhat intriguing.

"Moxi is here? She was invited too? Or is it that..."

Deep down, she still instinctively rejected Jiang Moxi.

However, because Jiang Weiwei had continuously let them down recently, causing them to lose face in front of the other members of the Jiang Family, if Jiang Moxi could return to the Jiang Family, others would surely kowtow to them again.

After all, no matter what, the emerald necklace that THE ONE Group went to great lengths to organize a banquet for the Jiang Family was still retrieved by Jiang Moxi.

Jiang Weiwei was most skilled in reading people, so she quickly guessed that Yu Man still held hopes for Jiang Moxi to come back.

Thus, Jiang Weiwei began to sow discord subtly, with a wronged demeanor as if she had been bullied by Jiang Moxi.

"I asked Moxi just now, but Moxi didn’t say anything. She only warned us not to look for her, to avoid messing up her fortunate opportunity."

"Fortunate opportunity? What good fortune could she possibly have, and how dare she warn us!"

Yu Man hated Jiang Moxi’s attitude of disregarding her, and she was immediately provoked to a towering rage.

Yu Man continued to complain about Jiang Moxi for a while, and the newly kindled hope for her dimmed once more.

She said to Jiang Weiwei with earnest emphasis, "Weiwei, your dad and I can only count on you now.

When Yiming comes later, remember to build a good rapport with him. I’ve heard that Fu’s is also on the final collaboration list for THE ONE Group’s vehicle system. As long as you secure Yiming, whether it’s the Jiang Family or Fu’s that finally secures the collaboration, it will be nothing but beneficial for you."

Jiang Weiwei obediently nodded...

Elsewhere, Jiang Moxi sat alone in the snack area eating biscuits.

Si Lin popped out from some corner and even snatched the biscuit from her hand to eat.

"You want to eat, can’t you just grab one yourself?" Jiang Moxi was annoyed.

"Snatching from someone else just tastes better!"

Si Lin also casually teased while pointing at his champagne-colored bow tie.

"I think with your outfit today, it’s a waste not to be my partner; it’s practically a couple’s outfit."

Jiang Moxi, seeing Shen Ruyi wearing a strapless princess dress, busy dealing with her girlfriends while glaring at her from afar, awkwardly suggested, "How about I take off this outfit and give it to your girlfriend?"

"Forget it, some people can’t look the part of a crown prince even if they’re dressed in dragon robes." Si Lin chuckled along.

Jiang Moxi, in this outfit, had been observed by Si Lin from a distance for quite a while.

Such beauty that doesn’t bare arms or legs but sparks limitless imagination is indescribably more sophisticated than direct exposure.

Shen Ruyi’s overly thin figure could never pull off this level of high-end private attire.

Thinking of this, Si Lin couldn’t help but also think of the person who custom-made this private attire for Jiang Moxi, and his eyes darkened considerably.

"Have you really decided to be with Third Master Fu?"

Jiang Moxi’s biscuit-chewing motion stalled for a moment before she nodded, "Mhm, actually, we’ve been together for some time."

Besides the fact that their relationship was legally recognized, and Jiang Moxi wasn’t afraid of revealing it to Si Lin, she also wanted to make Si Lin give up completely.

However, Jiang Moxi didn’t expect that Si Lin would leap from this question to another.

"Then does he... know that you are Dead Ghost?"

At that moment, Jiang Moxi felt as if the blood in her entire body had frozen...
