Wei Lai was still immersed in the sadness caused by Shen Jun’s misunderstanding of her. Jiang Ning furrowed her brows and sat down on a chair. “Jingchun, look at Wen Nian’s attitude. It’s impossible for us to reconcile with her! No, we have to use some strong methods to get the video.”
This statement jolted Wei Lai awake. “Yes, if my grandfather finds out, I’m finished!”
Jiang Chun lowered her gaze to hide her excitement. Regardless of whether the reconciliation between the two parties happened or not, she was the only winner in this game. If Wen Nian was willing to reconcile, she would have some credit, and she could continue to strengthen her good impression on Shen Jun.
She only needed to provoke Wei Lai and Jiang Ning at the right time again. Without the video, they wouldn’t hesitate to take action next time.
If reconciliation was impossible, it didn’t matter either. Wei Lai and Jiang Ning wouldn’t let Wen Nian off the hook. Jiang Chun firmly believed that men preferred innocent and harmless women.
Wen Nian, with her thorny and venomous personality, might initially be intriguing and amusing to Shen Jun, but over time, he would realize the terror of Wen Nian. After all, who would feel at ease sleeping next to a femme fatale?
Patience and time were what Jiang Chun had in abundance. In Shen Jun’s eyes, she was an inevitable presence!
Glancing at the duo of low intelligence, Jiang Chun felt a touch of impatience. She doubted their ability to come up with and successfully execute plans. Fortunately, they were only there to distract and disrupt, but there couldn’t be any mishaps at her birthday party. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to explain it to Shen Jun.
Looking at Jiang Ning and Wei Lai, Jiang Chun’s face was filled with concern. “Tonight, you must not cause any trouble. Wei Lai, your hand is still in a cast. Don’t try to be a tough guy like those bodyguards. Your thin little arm is no match for Wen Nian.”
Bodyguards? The two of them had a new idea. Last time, they didn’t have a clear understanding of Wen Nian’s power level, but now they knew it was necessary to find an expert to deal with her more safely.
However, Jiang Ning and Wei Lai had learned their lesson this time. They planned to think things through carefully and avoid acting impulsively. They both promised, “We definitely won’t cause any trouble tonight!”
The scheduled time for cutting the cake arrived at 8:30 p.m. The Jiang couple had an important banquet to attend, so Jiang Chun pushed Grandma Jiang to the garden to participate in the cake cutting.
The Jiang family still held some influence in the business community of Hai City. Since the invited young ladies and young masters were not more powerful than the Jiang family but had close ties with them, they often attended the banquets hosted by the Jiang family. They were quite familiar with Grandma Jiang and approached her with compliments.
“Grandma Jiang, I haven’t seen you in a while. You’re getting younger and younger.”
“I think so too. Grandma Jiang, why are you still aging backward?”
With Uncle Da Jiang and Uncle Xiao Jiang achieving so much, and ChunChun being so filial by coming back to Hai City all the way from the capital, Grandma Jiang should be happy all the time. With such outstanding and considerate juniors, you must be feeling even younger.”
Grandma Jiang listened to these words with a smile that reached her eyes. The last remark struck a chord with her, as every elder hopes for their descendants to achieve success. It was also a testament to her managing the family well.
Grinning from ear to ear, Grandma Jiang replied, “You sweethearts have mouths as sweet as honey. Every time I talk with you, it lifts my spirits and makes me feel several years younger.”
“Today, 1 want to thank all of you for coming to celebrate my eldest granddaughter’s 18th birthday. You all have been to the Jiang family many times, treating it as your own home. If there’s anything you need or anything lacking, just let ChunChun and NingNing know. The most important thing is for all of you to have a great time celebrating ChunChun’s birthday.”
Everyone chimed in agreement and exchanged words of approval. At the opportune moment, the butler brought out the cake adorned with candles.
With a signal from Wei Lai, everyone started singing the birthday song. Jiang Chun lowered her head with a smile, made a wish, and blew out the candles.
Wen Nian, who was planning to leave after eating the cake, applauded happily with the crowd.
Taking into consideration the expectations of refined young ladies regarding their figures and elegant eating manners, the maids were cautious while cutting the cake. Wen Nian only took a couple of bites before stopping. She remembered Shen Jun’s earlier remark about leaving after the cake and looked at him expectantly.
Shen Jun smiled and tousled Wen Nian’s hair. “Let’s go. We’ll go and greet Jiang Chun.”
Jiang Chun was engaged in a conversation with Jiang Ning when she noticed Shen Jun approaching, diverting their attention. She walked up with a smile and said, “I was too busy earlier and didn’t have a chance to host you. But now I have some free time.. Let me show you around the Jiang residence!”
