The Time-Limited Love and Marriage-Chapter 282

Jiang Weiwei felt that the atmosphere at the banquet was somewhat strange.

Especially the way the guests looked at her, some with disdain as if watching a joke.

But Jiang Weiwei thought she must have seen it wrong.

After all, people had just watched the fireworks show and were probably envious of her.

It was the cold wind she had been in for too long that made her mind unclear, causing such an illusion.

Jiang Weiwei tried hard to maintain the radiant smile on her face, facing Jiang Tairan.

But Jiang Tairan’s expression was still gloomily sinister, and his voice was icy cold: "Where did you go just now?"

Jiang Weiwei always felt that in Jiang Tairan’s uncharacteristically piercing eyes for his age, there was a thick murderous intent.

Yet, she still tried to calm herself down and smiled at Jiang Tairan: "Grandpa, Mr. Feng just invited me to watch the fireworks show, didn’t you know?"

Jiang Tairan was furious and didn’t care about the many people present, so he harshly questioned Jiang Weiwei: "Did Mr. Feng really invite you to watch the fireworks show? What else did he say?"

Jiang Weiwei also felt this sudden shift in Jiang Tairan’s attitude was abrupt, but she couldn’t guess the reason.

In such a short time, she had no other response plan but to stick to her original script.

"Yes, the sound of the fireworks was so loud, you must have heard it."

Jiang Weiwei even feigned a laugh, trying to make herself look infinitely bashful.

"As for Mr. Feng, he only told me to focus on the piano competition; he really appreciates how seriously I play the piano."

Actually, Jiang Tairan was hoping Jiang Weiwei would mention some other performance to help their family save some face.

But Jiang Weiwei only mentioned the recent fireworks show.

That show had nothing to do with her, it was totally unrelated!

Therefore, those present, when looking at Jiang Tairan and even the Jiang family, it was as if they were embarrassingly digging a three-bedroom flat with their feet.

In that moment, Jiang Tairan didn’t care about the presence of so many people and publicly slapped Jiang Weiwei: "Full of lies, you’re beyond redemption!"

The force of Jiang Tairan’s slap was not small, instantly making Jiang Weiwei fall to the ground, and even some blood seeped from the corner of her mouth.

Jiang Weiwei was completely stunned, her ears buzzing incessantly, and her cheek swollen.

"Grandpa, why did you hit me? Why!"

Jiang Weiwei felt suddenly struck, very fiery and aggrieved, with her eyes turning bright red.

But by this time, Jiang Guosheng couldn’t stand it anymore.

He remembered that someone had taken a video of the drone show and fireworks outside with a phone, so he took that person’s phone and smashed it hard onto Jiang Weiwei’s face.

"Look for yourself, what does that fireworks show have to do with you!"

Unprepared, Jiang Weiwei was hit in the nose by the phone, immediately causing blood to flow from her nostrils.

But she couldn’t care less about that, quickly picking up the phone, trying to understand what had happened.

To her surprise, she not only saw the fireworks on the phone but also a drone show!

Only then did she realize that her earlier lies had been exposed, and why people had looked at her as if watching a clown perform.

Jiang Weiwei got somewhat flustered and quickly started to apologize.

"Grandpa, Dad, I didn’t mean it. I was invited upstairs, and then they said they had the wrong person. I didn’t want to disappoint you or make you lose face, so I lied." ƒгeewebnovёl_com

But Jiang Tairan sneered coldly and left the venue.

With things turning out this way, he had no face to continue the banquet.

Seeing this, Jiang Guosheng followed closely behind.

Jiang Weiwei could only kneel and crawl towards Yu Man, clutching at Yu Man’s skirt, crying, "Mom, I really didn’t do it on purpose. It was Moxi, it was Moxi who arranged all this, making me turn into a clown."

Yu Man couldn’t hear anything at the moment, her temper flaring as she yanked her hand away from Jiang Weiwei.

"Get lost, you disgrace."

Without looking back, Yu Man quickly caught up with Jiang Guosheng and they left together.

Seeing this, Jiang Ruxin also hurriedly dragged Li Tinglu along with her.

As they passed by Jiang Weiwei, Jiang Weiwei heard Jiang Ruxin asking Li Tinglu, "Did you know beforehand that Moxi was promoted to the National Security Department? Why didn’t you tell me?"

"In fact, I just found out myself. Sister Moxi is always so low-profile, unlike some people..."

Li Tinglu even glanced specifically at Jiang Weiwei, whose gaze Jiang Weiwei caught filled with disdain and mockery, forcing her to hang her head in shame.

The Jiang family members left one after another, and naturally, the other guests didn’t feel it was appropriate to stay any longer.

Even the socialites who had just been keenly ingratiating themselves with Jiang Weiwei couldn’t help but show a look of disdain as they passed her.

In a blink, the vast banquet hall was left with only Jiang Weiwei.

Jiang Weiwei bowed her head in tears, yet through the immaculately clean marble floor, she saw the reflection of her own swollen, bloody-nosed, and disheveled face, and couldn’t help screaming in frenzy.

"Ah... Why did it turn out like this!"

Today was supposed to be her shining moment, Jiang Weiwei’s shining moment, yet it turned into the lowest point of her life.

Such a huge drop was even harder for her to bear than death itself.

No matter how much she cried and screamed, no one paid any attention to her...

Meanwhile, in the private room where Fu Wangning and others were, the atmosphere suddenly stiffened.

Because just then, they had also seen the drone performance and fireworks show outside the hotel.

Except for Ling Ye, who was still exclaiming in shock, "Damn, isn’t this someone professing their love to Moxi?"

Most of the others in the room, except for Su Yan who was thoughtful, were convinced that these two grand performances were specially orchestrated by Fu Youhan for Jiang Moxi.

Even Ling Hua, who didn’t know the real relationship between her uncle and Sister Moxi, muttered, "Why do I feel like my uncle is apologizing to Sister Moxi?"

After all, both her uncle and Sister Moxi were absent from the room, and it seemed like they weren’t getting along well earlier, so it made sense that her uncle arranged these performances to apologize to Sister Moxi.

Once Ling Hua said this, the calm that Fu Wangning had been feigning fell apart, and she couldn’t even hold onto the wine glass in her hand, which crashed to the floor in pieces.

This noise was significant, quickly drawing the gaze of everyone else in the room to her.

Fu Wangning was not one to seek others’ sympathy and struggled to maintain her composure, squeezing out a smile, "Sorry, my hand slipped."

But her smile was uglier than crying, so it was hard not to notice that something was off.

Ling Ye quickly said, "Aunt Wangning, Huahua is spouting nonsense, don’t believe her. My uncle could never like a girl like Moxi, don’t worry."

Ling Hua also realized that her words had hurt Fu Wangning and quickly added, "Right, I was just guessing, Aunt Wangning, please don’t take it to heart."

As for Ye Chen, Yuan Zhou, and others, seeing that Third Master Fu’s niece and nephew were unaware of his relationship with Jiang Moxi, naturally also refrained from saying anything.

Si Lin, having been rejected by Jiang Moxi tonight, was already in a bad mood, and seeing the romantic scene Fu Youhan created for Jiang Moxi made his mood plummet even further.

Thus, hearing Ling Ye and Ling Hua desperately defending this in front of Fu Wangning, he scoffed lightly.

Ye Chen was actually quite worried that Si Lin might reveal Fu Youhan and Jiang Moxi’s real relationship in front of Ling Ye and Ling Hua.

Luckily, however, Si Lin just coldly passed a look at Fu Wangning and then left directly.

Fu Wangning knew that look from Si Lin was mocking her for being useless, not only unable to control Fu Youhan but also having no influence even in front of her own niece and nephew.

Actually, Fu Wangning had felt a flicker of joy when she sensed that Fu Youhan and Jiang Moxi might be having a fallout, even thinking about how to leverage this situation.

But before she could act, Fu Youhan had already made such a grand gesture to apologize and win over Jiang Moxi.

It seemed like Fu Youhan really did like Jiang Moxi quite a lot.

This meant that she, Fu Wangning, had to act fast before their relationship deepened further...
