Jiang Yuning arrived at the Lu family mansion a short while later. It seemed as though she had a different feeling every time she came to this place.

“Miss Jiang, you are finally here,” the butler greeted Jiang Yuning courteously when she arrived at the front door. “Both Miss Huo and Miss Fu have already arrived.”

“I know.” Jiang Yuning could hear the laughter coming from inside the house. They were happily conversing inside while to them, she was merely an outsider.

“Miss Jiang has arrived,” the butler announced as he opened the door for Jiang Yuning.

Jiang Yuning lifted her dress slightly and held onto her silver-colored purse as she walked into the living room. The first thing that caught her eye was Lu Zongye sitting on the sofa cuddling with Huo Yuxi, while Fu Yahui and Li Shutong was sitting on the other sofa directly opposite them.

“Well, look who’s finally here,” Li Shutong said sarcastically as she turned around to look at Jiang Yuning. “Yuning, come over here and have a seat. We are currently in the midst of discussing your elder sister and future brother-in-law’s marriage.”

Lu Zongye and Huo Yuxi deliberately clung onto one another in an attempt to provoke Jiang Yuning.

“Co-mother-in-law, aren’t we currently discussing the choices for the bridesmaids? I think Yuning would be a very suitable candidate. Furthermore, if Yuning was Yuxi’s bridesmaid, it could expel the rumour that the relationship between the two sisters is not good. What do you think?” Li Shutong quickly suggested to Fu Yahui.

Although she tried to pretend that she was only suggesting it for the sake of the sisters, Li Shutong’s true intention was nothing more than to humiliate Jiang Yuning.

She was trying to show Jiang Yuning that she was the helpless one now even though she had despised her son in the past.

“Huo Yuxi is the top actress in the industry. Doesn’t she have any friends that she could ask to be her bridesmaids?” Jiang Yuning asked suddenly. “My reputation is so tainted right now. I do not want to be involved in her marriage in case I have to take the blame when something happens.”

Fu Yahui gestured for Jiang Yuning to sit next to her before she agreed with Jiang Yuning’s statement. “I also agree that Yuxi should look for someone else to be her bridesmaid.”

Fu Yahui had not said that because she was afraid of Jiang Yuning’s tainted reputation. She said that because she was afraid that Jiang Yuning would try to ruin Huo Yuxi’s wedding.

“Since you have said so, I will not push for it any further,” Li Shutong said as she laughed. “I only suggested it because I feel bad for Yuning. After all, she was engaged to Zongye and this could have been her wedding instead. Co-mother-in-law, why don’t I recommend a nice young man to Yuning? Would you support that idea?”

“Don’t worry, I will take care of matters relating to my own daughter,” Fu Yahui replied coldly, as she rejected the idea instantly.

Jiang Yuning sat silently beside Fu Yahui as she watched the drama that was unfolding before her.


Although Jiang Yuning did not know what Fu Yahui’s intentions were, she was at least grateful that Fu Yahui was smart enough to be wary and guard against an outsider’s intention.

“Oh, if you had not mentioned it, I would have forgotten that Yuning is your biological daughter.”

Li Shutong was trying to sow discord between the mother and daughter by intentionally bringing up the fact that Fu Yahui had left Jiang Yuning and her family behind when she departed to the United States all by herself many years ago.
