The Time-Limited Love and Marriage-Chapter 276
Chapter 276: Chapter 276
Jiang Weiwei’s words once again confirmed that Jiang Moxi came to Emperor Hotel to bully her out of jealousy for attention.
"What banquet is all hers? She also needs to have the ability to achieve outstanding results in the piano competition."
Yu Man looked at Jiang Moxi with a resentful gaze and added, "And in my eyes, she’s not my daughter at all. Only you, Weiwei, truly are, and you alone deserve all this."
Although Jiang Guosheng wasn’t as straightforward as Yu Man, his cold words fully expressed his rejection and dislike of Jiang Moxi.
"Today is Weiwei’s celebration banquet. You weren’t invited, so hurry up and go back!"
Jiang Moxi, facing yet another unfounded accusation from her biological parents, couldn’t help but feel disappointed.
She gave Jiang Weiwei a cold glance and saw Jiang Weiwei smiling smugly at her, looking as if victory was in her hands.
Jiang Moxi withdrew her gaze and looked back at Jiang Guosheng and Yu Man.
"I didn’t come for her celebration banquet, nor did I want to see you. I was just coming to dine with friends, and it was Jiang Weiwei who deliberately framed me."
"Do you even have friends who could invite you to a place like this to dine?" Yu Man couldn’t help but sneer, clearly disbelieving Jiang Moxi’s words.
After all, Emperor Hotel is a gathering place for Yan City’s elite.
A casual meal here usually involves high-end drinks and can cost above five hundred thousand before Emperor Hotel would accept it.
Thus, Yu Man truly didn’t believe Jiang Moxi could have any friends who would treat her at such a place.
Disappointment was also written all over Jiang Guosheng’s face, "Don’t think you can avoid apologizing to Weiwei by saying such things!"
Jiang Weiwei is now a rising new star in the piano world and is very likely to become a major help in connecting the Jiang Family to the Feng Family, so naturally, Jiang Guosheng couldn’t risk upsetting her.
After Jiang Guosheng had spoken, Jiang Weiwei was also smiling, waiting for Jiang Moxi’s apology.
But Jiang Moxi only said, "If you don’t believe me, go and check the surveillance footage over there, and you’ll see who’s lying at a glance."
The coy smile on Jiang Weiwei’s face faded significantly.
Especially following Jiang Moxi’s gaze, she saw a surveillance camera not far away and felt her heartbeat skip several beats.
Damn it, how had she not noticed that surveillance camera?
What if Jiang Guosheng and Yu Man really went to check the footage?
Hearing Jiang Moxi’s words, Jiang Guosheng turned to look at Jiang Weiwei, only to see her eyes dodging.
Just as he was about to question Jiang Moxi further, he heard her say, "My friends have arrived, I’ll be going now."
As Jiang Moxi finished speaking, Ling Hua bounced over not far from them, "Sister Moxi, let’s head up."
Jiang Moxi went to meet her, and the two walked towards the elevator, chatting and laughing.
"Was it really a friend who invited her for a meal?" As Yu Man watched Jiang Moxi and Ling Hua leaving together, she couldn’t help but mutter to herself.
Jiang Guosheng’s face wasn’t looking too good as he watched the scene.
After all, if Jiang Moxi was truly here to dine with friends, then Jiang Weiwei’s lies would fall apart on their own.
Jiang Weiwei also began to feel panic.
But having performed in front of Jiang Guosheng and Yu Man for four years, she was quite skilled at turning peril into safety.
There she was, her eyes welling up with tears on the spot, a picture of pitiable weakness and helplessness.
"Mom and Dad, I didn’t expect that Moxi really was invited by friends to dine. I thought you had invited her over. I was afraid you were still mad at me because of the last incident, afraid you wouldn’t want me, that’s why I..."
Hearing her admitting her mistake, and that it was Jiang Moxi’s presence that made her feel insecure and lie, Jiang Guosheng and Yu Man felt a bit of pity.
Besides, Jiang Weiwei currently shone brightly in the piano competition and had even won Feng Yu’s appreciation.
Jiang Guosheng naturally didn’t dare to fall out with her at this time, so he only left her with one sentence: "Don’t do such foolish things again."
Yu Man also sighed softly, "Moxi will not affect our love for you, there’s no need to be so anxious."
Jiang Weiwei then kept apologizing, and once the crisis was over, left arm in arm with Yu Man and Jiang Guosheng...

When Jiang Moxi and Ling Hua entered the private room reserved by Fu Wangning, quite a few people were already there.
Besides Si Lin and Su Yan, there were Yuan Zhou, Ling Ye, and others.
In addition, Ye Chen also came with Yu Dingding.
After Jiang Moxi greeted everyone in the room, Yu Dingding came forward and gave Jiang Moxi an enthusiastic hug.
"Moxi, congratulations, congratulations. I was in a hurry today and didn’t manage to prepare a gift for you. I’ll make it up to you next time."
"We don’t need such formalities between us. Anyway, how is uncle doing today?"
Jiang Moxi hugged her back and scrutinized Yu Dingding, feeling that Yu Dingding seemed quite different from before today.
In addition to wearing a black backless dress that she didn’t usually wear, which added a touch of cool mystery to her beauty, Jiang Moxi also noticed a clear change in Yu Dingding’s demeanor.
More enchanting, and more alluring...
Even though she didn’t give Ye Chen a glance, his eyes were practically glued to her.
"The specialist consultation today said that implanting an electrode plate might help with recovery, so I plan to give it a try," Yu Dingding said.
"My brother recovered from being in a vegetative state thanks to this method. I believe uncle can also recover with the help of this electrode plate."
Jiang Moxi comforted Yu Dingding with a few words, and then Yu Dingding couldn’t help but whisper to Jiang Moxi: "I always feel like Fu Wangning has ulterior motives for throwing this party for you."
As Yu Dingding whispered the last few words, she particularly glanced at Si Lin and Su Yan who were chatting casually with Yuan Zhou in a corner.
Relying on her experience in entertainment venues, Yu Dingding could naturally see the intentions these two had towards Jiang Moxi.
So why on earth did Fu Wangning arrange for these people to be together? Could it be without purpose?
Jiang Moxi smiled lightly: "Let’s leave it to fate."
She had insomnia last night again and had no energy for anything today.
Even knowing that Fu Wangning had impure motives, she was too lazy to predict what Fu Wangning wanted to do. She would just take things one step at a time.
Seeing Jiang Moxi’s attitude of a ’dead pig not fearing boiling water,’ Yu Dingding couldn’t help but ask: "What about Third Master Fu? Isn’t he coming tonight?"
Yu Dingding’s thoughts were simple; as long as Third Master Fu was present, Fu Wangning would have to restrain herself a bit.
Besides, with Third Master Fu there, he would definitely protect Jiang Moxi, so there would be no need to worry about any tricks Fu Wangning might play.
But what Yu Dingding did not expect was that when Jiang Moxi heard the name "Third Master Fu", the brightness in her eyes faded quickly, eventually becoming dim and dull.
"He probably won’t come."
The loss in Jiang Moxi’s eyes was unmistakable.
After all, she agreed to let Fu Wangning, her romantic rival, help with the celebration and to tolerate her possible scheming, all because she wanted to see if Fu Youhan would appear.
But now that nearly everyone had arrived and there was still no sign of him, it seemed he was not coming, did not want to see her...
What Jiang Moxi did not anticipate was that just as she finished speaking, the door to the private room was pushed open.
Then she saw Chi Jing pushing Fu Youhan into the room.
In the moment when her eyes met Fu Youhan’s, Jiang Moxi’s beautiful eyes slightly froze.
