Jiang Ruolan had her fists clenched tightly in her lap and her nails digging into her palms. Her face was slightly pale as she stared straight ahead without any expression. She's no longer paying attention to the scene in front of the door.

"Everyone, please eat and drink. No need to wait for me." Jiang Guanyu waved his hand while smiling. As soon as he entered, a very young and beautiful middle-aged woman entered with Jiang Bingqing behind him.

Jiang Guanyu shook hands with the few officials who came to greet him and then was called inside to talk with the crowd. On the other side, Jiang Bingqing seemed to be looking for something. She grabbed the middle-aged woman's arm and whispered in her ear. The middle-aged woman looked around.

Jiang Ruolan's tightly clenched fist had turned white. When Jiang Bingqing suddenly pointed towards her direction, the middle-aged woman's expression immediately changed.

"Jiang Ruolan!" In the blink of an eye, Jiang Bingqing walked towards her. Although her voice wasn't loud, it immediately attracted everyone's attention because Jiang Bingqing's tone was very unkind.

Jiang Ruolan stood up slowly with an expressionless face.

Her tightly clasped hands were hidden in her sleeves. She looked at Jiang Bingqing with a glimmer in her eyes.

If her guess was right, the three of them suddenly attended dinner tonight, probably because Jiang Bingqing somehow knew that she (Jiang Ruolan) and Xian Zihao were here, so she brought her parents to criticize her (Jiang Ruolan), intending to completely destroy the new environment of her life and not let her have any chance of survival.

"I really didn't expect that a lowly scum like you dares to come here." Jiang Bingqing didn't seem to notice Xian Zihao, who was standing not far away. She only stared at Jiang Ruolan's expressionless face.

The surrounding noise instantly quieted down, and everyone's eyes immediately looked in their direction. Their expressions were all different, but most of them were filled with doubt and inquiry.

"Let me introduce you to everyone." Jiang Bingqing suddenly pulled Jiang Ruolan's wrist. She smiled merrily at the surroundings and said, "This woman was born from that famous shameless woman who caused a stir all those years ago."

Before Jiang Bingqing could finish her sentence, her expression suddenly froze. She stared blankly at Xian Zihao, who had walked out of the dimly lit area. Obviously, she didn't notice that he was nearby.

Her gaze met his, and her hand that was holding on to Jiang Ruolan's wrist grew even tighter. A trace of apprehension appearing in her eyes.

Jiang Ruolan furrowed her brows in pain. She turned her head to look at Jiang Bingqing with an expressionless expression and said, "Let go."

Jiang Bingqing's gaze quickly shifted from Xian Zihao's face to Jiang Ruolan's cold gaze. "What's wrong? You little slut! You dare to be arrogant with me? Let me tell you, Jiang Ruolan, this is G City! Stop pretending to be the Young Mistress of Jiang Family and take out your seductive appearance for everyone to see. Did you learn from that shameless mother of yours how to seduce someone else's childhood sweetheart?!"

This disturbance caught Jiang Guanyu's attention. He looked at the situation on their side through the gap between the people. He vaguely saw Jiang Ruolan's back, and his expression froze.

Jiang Guanyu immediately pushed through the crowd and slowly walked towards them.

"I told you to let go!" Jiang Ruolan's eyes were downcast as she looked at Jiang Bingqing's hand that was holding on her wrist.

When Jiang Bingqing heard this, not only did she not let go, she even tightened the grip on Jiang Ruolan's arm and twisted her wrist violently.

Jiang Ruolan frowned and suddenly raised her hand to push her (Jiang Bingqing) away.

Unexpectedly, her wrist loosened, and a familiar warmth enveloped her body. Jiang Ruolan was stunned. She looked behind only to see Xian Zihao grabbing her arm, which was being ravaged by Jiang Bingqing. He looked at her arm gently.

Xian Zihao immediately pulled Jiang Ruolam behind him.

"Bingqing! You're not a child. Don't be too excessive." Xian Zihao's gaze was stern and his hand was holding Jiang Ruolan tightly as if he didn't want to let her escape.

Jiang Ruolan looked up and saw the anger in Jiang Bingqing's eyes, as well as Jiang Guanyu and Zhan Lian, who were already walking towards her.

Jiang Ruolan's clenched fist was gently covered by Xian Zihao's palm. He firmly opened up her fingers to prevent her from using her nails to destroy her palm again.

"I'm being excessive? How am I overdoing it? If you marry this despicable, shameless woman, do you think you're being too rude to Cui Liuxian? You think I don't know? Cui Liuxian was pushed into the water by this shameless woman the day before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and her head hit a rock. Right now, there is a red and swollen scar on her forehead. What's wrong with you?!" Jiang Bingqing's eyes were full of grievance and unwillingness. She forcefully swallowed down the fear that was filling her heart from Xian Zihao's cold gaze.

"If you want to cause trouble, you have to find the right place!" Xian Zihao's expression was cold, his eyes were as clear as spring water, and a sharp. His refined look that was no longer gentle shown on his face. "Do you think that this is your house? A place where you can do whatever you want?"

"You..!"

"Why are you protecting her?!" Jiang Bingqing pointed to Jiang Ruolan with red eyes. "Look closely, I am your cousin! This woman is a bitch who almost destroyed my family! I told you not to marry her! Why are you protecting her like this?"

"Bingqing!" Jiang Guanyu, who was approaching, suddenly shouted, but he did not sound strict. Just when his daughter was about to lose face in front of everyone, he interrupted her, "Shut up!"

Jiang Bingqing went silent and turned around to look at Jiang Guanyu, who was walking towards them. "Dad! Jiang Ruolan has been out in the wild for seven years. She never cared about the fact that our family has been raising her for so long! This kind of unfilial daughter, could it be that you still recognize her?!"

After saying that, Jiang Bingqing glared at Jiang Ruolan and walked towards Zhan Lian while snorting.

Zhan Lian stood behind Jiang Guanyu and held her daughter's hand as if she was calming her.

As Zhan Lian's gaze fell on Jiang Ruolan, who was in Xian Zihao's arms, she frowned.

Jiang Guanyu had his hands behind his back and his expression didn't have much warmth. He looked at Jiang Ruolan with an icy cold face. "I thought you would never come to G City again. When did you come back? Why didn't you go home? Do you still recognize me as your father?"

Jiang Ruolan sneered coldly. She did not look at Jiang Guanyu but stared straight ahead with a sneer.

Look, this is her biological father. His daughter left home with a belly full of grievances and resentment for seven years. After not seeing her for seven years, the first thing he said upon meeting her was this kind of emotionless interrogation.
