CHAPTER 316: CHAPTER 316

Under Lady Suchen’s astonished gaze, Jiang Weiwei continued, "To be honest with you, I’m not my parents’ biological child either. If my parents hadn’t taken me in, I might have died of hunger on the streets a long time ago."

Jiang Weiwei said these things simply to resonate with Lady Suchen and to casually throw out her pitiable background, so Lady Suchen would pity her too.

If she could make Lady Suchen like her as much as the girl from before, and want to keep her by her side as a daughter, that would be even better.

Maybe after a hundred years, they would leave THE ONE Corporation to her, Jiang Weiwei?

By then, not only would she trample the Jiang Family under her feet, but nearly half the world would have to heed her expressions in their conduct.

As expected, after hearing Jiang Weiwei’s words, Lady Suchen patted her shoulder with sympathy, "You are a child of hardship too..."

Jiang Weiwei wanted to continue her acting skills, but just then Mr. Lai De’s people came to fetch Lady Suchen to greet some important guests, and so she had to leave first.

As soon as Lady Suchen left, Jiang Tairan began to praise Jiang Weiwei, "Weiwei, well done."

Jiang Weiwei hadn’t received praise from Jiang Tairan for a long time and her mood improved quite a bit, "But Grandfather, I can only get close to Lady Suchen at this banquet at most."

Jiang Guosheng said, "I heard before that Suchen is haunted by the search for her daughter, and upon seeing girls of similar age to her daughter’s, she would have someone do a paternity test especially. And since you’ve just revealed some to her, she will definitely find an opportunity to contact you afterward, to do a paternity test."

Jiang Tairan echoed him, "Right, and then you take the chance to exchange contact information with her when she seeks you out for the paternity test, and step by step get closer to her."

In fact, Jiang Weiwei had already done a paternity test with the Liang Family and was confirmed to be the biological flesh and blood of the Liang Family.

Therefore, on this matter, Jiang Tairan and the others did not hope that this paternity test led by Lady Suchen could change anything.

They could only hope that by using this opportunity of the test, they could make Jiang Weiwei stand out to Lady Suchen, and if they could make Lady Suchen consider adopting her as her foster daughter, that would be perfect.

"Okay, I understand."

Jiang Weiwei also knew that Jiang Tairan and the others were now just using her, in order to bind themselves to THE ONE Corporation, but she was still very happy, very excited.

Lately, she had been very unlucky, repeatedly losing face in front of the Jiang Family, and tonight she also discovered that Fu Yiming had a change of heart, she once thought she was heading into a dead end.

But now, the emergence of Lady Suchen had brought a light to the end of the tunnel.

Jiang Weiwei swore that she must seize this opportunity.

Because she didn’t just want to help the Jiang Family bind themselves to THE ONE Corporation, she wanted even more to become THE ONE Corporation’s rich girl, to completely trample on the Jiang Family.

As Jiang Weiwei was excitedly planning her future in her mind, she didn’t notice the low spirit of Yu Man beside her.

Jiang Guosheng, however, noticed it, and while taking her to greet others, he asked Yu Man, "Are you unhappy that Weiwei and Suchen have forged a connection?"

Yu Man felt a tightness in her chest, her voice was a bit muffled: "It’s not that I’m unhappy, just feel a bit..."

Apart from feeling like the daughter she raised was suddenly snatched away by someone else, there was also the unfamiliar way Jiang Weiwei behaved in front of Suchen just now.

She even wondered whether Jiang Weiwei’s previous obedience and innocence in front of her and Jiang Guosheng were also an act?

But Jiang Guosheng told her: "I know you can’t bear to part with Weiwei, but if Weiwei is truly liked by Suchen, even considered as a foster daughter, it will be a decisive boost for the development of the Jiang Family..."

"Moreover, if Suchen and Mr. Lai De are in critical health conditions, and they have neither sons nor daughters below them, they might just gift THE ONE Corporation to Weiwei! At that point, you would be the old lady of THE ONE Corporation, even the noble families in the country will have to look at your face and act."

Yu Man’s mood had already plummeted to rock bottom, but Jiang Guosheng’s analysis suddenly made her excited all over again.

Her origins had always been mocked by the two sisters-in-law and looked down upon by the circle of noble ladies, which is why she always hoped her daughter could stand out, allowing her to hold her head high with pride.

Now that Jiang Weiwei had become the foster daughter of THE ONE Group, it wasn’t just a simple matter of standing out—it was like shooting straight to the sky.

Furthermore, thinking of Jiang Weiwei inheriting THE ONE Group and her, Yu Man, becoming the supreme matriarch afterward, all those people who had looked down on her would have to grovel and fawn over her.

The darkness in Yu Man’s heart was swept away in an instant, and she even found herself looking at Jiang Weiwei with particular fondness.

"I’ll have Aunt Wang prepare some bird’s nest soup for Weiwei later; the child will be busy with major events soon and mustn’t exhaust herself."

Jiang Guosheng nodded repeatedly: "Mhm, I trust you to take care of this aspect."

Elsewhere, Jiang Moxi had been waiting for over ten minutes and still did not see Fu Youhan appearing, nor had she received a reply to her messages, so she prepared to leave the venue.

But what she didn’t expect was the appearance of Feng Yu.

Since he was a key figure of a top-tier noble family in Emperor City, his appearance immediately drew the attention of countless people.

Dressed in a white custom-made suit, with meticulously styled hair and a face revealing delicate and charming features, his tall and straight posture emitted an unparalleled nobility—his entrance was as if it came with a BGM.

Even Jiang Weiwei, seeing Feng Yu’s entrance, could feel her heart pounding with excitement.

Even after being hurt by Feng Yu in the past, Jiang Weiwei couldn’t deny that every time she saw this man or heard anything related to his name, her heart would race.

This was probably what they call "Bad boys have all the charm"!

While Jiang Weiwei was lost in thought gazing at Feng Yu, Jiang Tairan came to her side to remind her, "Weiwei, you should go and greet Mr. Feng now."

Jiang Tairan certainly hadn’t forgotten that during the piano group competitions, when Jiang Weiwei had won first prize in her group twice, Feng Yu had made generous contributions to the contests.

If it weren’t for the celebration banquet incident, Jiang Tairan would have even thought of taking Jiang Weiwei to visit the Emperor City Feng Family, to test Feng Yu’s attitude.

And today, Feng Yu’s arrival had Jiang Tairan itching to try again.

Jiang Weiwei indeed wanted to approach Feng Yu and greet him, wanting to determine her position in Feng Yu’s heart.

But she quickly realized that Feng Yu was headed towards Jiang Moxi, with a charming smile on his face, heart-stoppingly beautiful.

Suddenly, she remembered the Jade Pendant she had stolen from Jiang Moxi, and that phrase Feng Yu had uttered softly, "Xixi," and then again the words "Xixi, I’m sorry" during the fireworks show...

Jiang Weiwei suddenly realized that from the very start, Feng Yu must have been coming for Jiang Moxi!

Jiang Weiwei hated Jiang Moxi more and more.

Why did Jiang Moxi have to compete with her for everything?

However, Jiang Weiwei firmly believed that she could eventually surpass Jiang Moxi and win Feng Yu’s heart.

Just like with the wealth of the Jiang Family and their affection, hadn’t Jiang Moxi completely lost to her in the end?

Plus, Jiang Weiwei felt that as long as she got along well with Lady Suchen and won her favor, standing out among all the rich girls, Feng Yu would sooner or later take her seriously, recognize her uniqueness, and end up liking her.

So, after hesitating for a moment, Jiang Weiwei said to Jiang Tairan, "Grandpa, I think this matter can’t be rushed. As you know, the difference in status between Mr. Feng and me is quite significant now, and hasty contact probably won’t lead to good results."

Jiang Tairan still didn’t want to miss the opportunity to connect with Feng Yu and was about to persuade Jiang Weiwei, but unexpectedly, he saw Feng Yu walking towards Jiang Moxi...
