CHAPTER 432: CHAPTER 432

Fate can sometimes be so dramatic.

Jiang Weiwei and Yu Man had just entered the beauty salon, and that woman followed right behind them.

Before starting her SPA, Jiang Weiwei went to the restroom first.

Unexpectedly, the woman also went in.

As Jiang Weiwei finished up and was about to leave for her SPA, she heard a sudden clang from the stall the woman had entered.

Then, the sound of the woman gasping for air and crying for help followed.

"Help! Help..."

She must have had a sudden illness.

Jiang Weiwei didn’t really want to get involved. Since the woman fainted alone in the stall, even if she died, it had nothing to do with Jiang Weiwei.

However, as Jiang Weiwei was about to leave the restroom, she suddenly remembered that the woman was holding a tote bag worth over two million...

Such a woman must be a well-regarded lady in Emperor City.

If she saved her, she might be able to climb the social ladder and make a name for herself in Emperor City...

With that thought, Jiang Weiwei immediately turned around, burst into the stall, and helped the woman on the ground.

"Madam, where do you not feel well?"

Jiang Weiwei asked with concern.

The woman hurriedly pointed at her chest, "Here... it’s so tight, can’t catch my breath."

"Heart?"

Jiang Weiwei still wasn’t sure what was wrong with the woman, then said, "Let me take you to the hospital."

As she said that, Jiang Weiwei tried hard to help the woman out of the restroom.

Yu Man was all set and ready to start her SPA.

But she saw Jiang Weiwei helping a woman out: "Weiwei, what happened?"

"Mom, this lady seems to be feeling unwell. I’m going to take her to the hospital."

The staff at the beauty salon rushed over when they saw the woman being helped out and asked, "Mrs. Wu, what’s wrong?"

But Mrs. Wu’s face was pale, so choked up she couldn’t speak.

Yu Man frowned, "Wouldn’t it be better to let the salon staff take her to the hospital? Our SPA is about to start."

Upon hearing Yu Man’s words, the salon director immediately arranged for a car to take Mrs. Wu to the hospital.

Jiang Weiwei internally criticized Yu Man for being a fool. If others took Mrs. Wu away, wouldn’t the favor become theirs?

But in front of others, she couldn’t say much, only mentioning, "Saving someone is what’s important."

Then, Jiang Weiwei, together with the salon’s director Ms. Lin, took Mrs. Wu to the hospital.

After the doctor’s examination, it was found that Mrs. Wu’s condition was quite serious.

"She must undergo heart stent surgery immediately!"

An hour later, Mrs. Wu finally woke up and was very grateful to Jiang Weiwei.

"The doctor said if I had been any later, I would have gone to report to King Yanluo. I’m lucky to have met such a good Samaritan like you."

Mrs. Wu held Jiang Weiwei’s hand, expressing her gratitude again and again.

Jiang Weiwei thought to herself: You should be thanking your two-million-plus bag! If it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t have saved you.

However, outwardly, Jiang Weiwei was still very modest: "It was nothing, no need to keep it in mind."

Jiang Weiwei said this, knowing full well that the less she seemed to ask for in return, the more noble she would appear, and the more likely this wealthy lady would want to get to know her.

Just as Jiang Weiwei expected, Mrs. Wu, upon seeing her not taking credit, looked at Jiang Weiwei with a touch more admiration.

Mrs. Wu then began to inquire about Jiang Weiwei’s name and her family background.

Jiang Weiwei said, "My name is Jiang Weiwei. I’ve just arrived in Emperor City to participate in the piano semifinal hosted by Teacher Jhiang Heting."

Mrs. Wu was overjoyed to learn that Jiang Weiwei had made it to the semifinals of Jhiang Heting’s piano competition and was currently ranked quite high; she kept holding Jiang Weiwei’s hand without letting go.

Mrs. Wu even told Jiang Weiwei, "My son is a few years older than you and still single. I have been hoping that he finds a girlfriend soon and gets married..."

Jiang Weiwei understood that Mrs. Wu intended to set her up with Mrs. Wu’s son.

Jiang Weiwei thought to herself that given Mrs. Wu’s capacity to snatch up that tote bag and her financial power, the Wu Family should have some reputable standing in Emperor City.

If she, Jiang Weiwei, could win over her son, that would mean securing her own foothold in Emperor City.

The rest of the Jiang Family would have to fall in line and watch her face before acting.

At this time, the family members Mrs. Wu had contacted earlier arrived.

Among them was her single son, Wu Shirong.

Seeing Wu Shirong for the first time, Jiang Weiwei felt disappointed, to be honest.

Because aside from wearing obviously high-end luxury brands, Wu Shirong had quite an ordinary appearance and was only about 175cm in height.

Compared to other wealthy heirs, Wu Shirong’s looks were decidedly inferior to Fu Yiming’s.

However, Jiang Weiwei could feel that Wu Shirong had taken a liking to her.

So when Wu Shirong offered to take her home, Jiang Weiwei did not refuse.

Yes, even if Wu Shirong was somewhat lacking, he was still a second-generation rich in Emperor City, capable of helping her climb the social ladder.

It just so happened that when Wu Shirong dropped Jiang Weiwei off at home, Zhao Guangmei and Jiang Yuqing, who had just returned from a job, ran into them.

Both Zhao Guangmei and Jiang Yuqing were rather interested in Wu Shirong and stepped forward to greet him.

Then, Zhao Guangmei stared at Wu Shirong with great interest, "Weiwei, and this gentleman is...?"

"This is my friend, Wu Shirong," Jiang Weiwei introduced him briefly, then waved goodbye to Wu Shirong.

Since it was only Wu Shirong’s first time meeting Jiang Weiwei, he didn’t say much and soon left.

This incident should have been merely an interlude, but Zhao Guangmei just had to bring it up during dinner.

"It’s our Weiwei who has the capabilities. On her very first day in Emperor City, she met a Mr. Wu who personally escorted her home."

As the situation with the Jiang Family got worse, the internal strife among the family members became more apparent.

They all hoped to secure the last of the family assets and find a new track to start over.

So it had become common for them to undercut each other.

At this moment, Zhao Guangmei’s aim was to imply that Jiang Weiwei was being promiscuous.

That way, even if Jiang Weiwei excelled in the piano semifinals, her bad reputation would make it difficult to find a good marriage.

In contrast, it would make Jiang Yuqing appear innocent and well-behaved, and she was also making her own name in the entertainment industry.

As expected, upon hearing Zhao Guangmei’s words, Jiang Tairan suddenly went cold.

He sternly questioned Jiang Weiwei, "What Mr. Wu? Weiwei, now is not the time to get involved in frivolous relationships."

He also wished to find good marital prospects for his young and beautiful granddaughters to aid in the Jiang Family’s resurgence.

If Jiang Weiwei tarnished her reputation in advance, that meant one less advantage for them in the future.

Yu Man and Jiang Guosheng, noticing the change in Jiang Tairan’s expression, quickly glared at Jiang Weiwei, clearly blaming her for her indiscretion.

Jiang Weiwei knew Zhao Guangmei had ill intentions and was aware of what Jiang Tairan wanted.

Quietly pinching her own thigh, she induced pain that brought tears to her eyes, and then she spoke of the day’s events, where she had saved Mrs. Wu.

"I simply saved a life. Mr. Wu was just grateful that I saved his mother, and that is why he personally escorted me home."

"If Grandfather deems that as being promiscuous, then I should probably decline the invitation from the Wu Family to attend their company’s anniversary celebration, as well as the invitation to accompany them to Old Master Feng’s birthday banquet tomorrow..."
