Shen Wanwan was stunned for a moment, "Sorry."
He raised his chin towards the picture frame, "I just want to help you straighten it out."
Jiang Zhiyan nodded slightly. He buttoned up the photo frame and lightly pressed it on the back of the photo frame with his sharp knuckles. The wooden floor made a muffled sound, neither light nor heavy. "The matter is settled, you can leave."
Shen Wanwan, "..."
She pushed Jiang Zhiyan out of the study, and finally looked back at the detained photo frame.
Shen Wanwan felt that this man was a little obsessed.
She had a feeling that the person in the photo frame did not seem to be Miss Ling.
Lu Zhiwen once warned Shen Wanwan not to overestimate her capabilities, saying that she was just Ling Yinzhi's stand-in.
But if the person in the photo frame is not Ling Yinzhi, then the situation will be a bit embarrassing.
Maybe she is not Ling Yinzhi's substitute, but she and Ling Yinzhi... are both substitutes for another person?
Shen Wanwan touched his chin.
It is not difficult to understand why Jiang Zhiyan sometimes suddenly treats her well and looks at her deeply with eyes that she cannot understand.
Maybe she has better luck and is more like that girl than Ling Yinzhi.
What would that girl look like?
If he looks similar to her and Ling Yinzhi, he must look good?
Shen Wanwan was not a very curious person. She quickly retracted her attention from this matter and her eyes also left the photo frame.
Shen Wanwan was really tired after the day, and she had just taken a walk with Jiang Zhiyan in the back garden.
After walking around outside for half an hour, Shen Wanwan returned to the living room, hugging her limp body and leaning on the sofa.
Jiang Zhiyan glanced at her, turned around and went back to his room. After a while, Tong Yanqiu was also called in.
Jiang Zhiyan seemed to have an endless supply of work. In the blink of an eye, another hour passed.
When Jiang Zhiyan came out of the room again, Tong Yanqiu followed him to report on his work.
When the wheelchair entered the living room, Jiang Zhiyan raised his hand and gestured behind him.
Tong Yanqiu looked towards the sofa and immediately stopped reporting.
It was late at night. Shen Wanwan was lying on the sofa in the living room and fell asleep. The dimmed light shone warmly on her body. She leaned against Mianmian as if leaning against a piece of fur. On the huge blanket, Mianmian slept more soundly than she did, and from time to time, she would sway her big tail leisurely.
The fluffy white hair swept the girl's delicate skin, and Shen Wanwan squinted her eyes comfortably.
When she woke up, she lazily opened her eyes and saw Jiang Zhiyan upside down.
There was nothing wrong with the other person's appearance, but looking at it from the other side, it looked a little weird. Shen Wanwan couldn't help but laugh for a moment.
I saw the girl's beautiful face smiling brightly under the light, as if it was more dazzling than the hot light.
The moment she woke up, Jiang Zhiyan was looking at her, but his eyes quickly left.
Not a single trace was left.
"I'll rest here today." After an unknown amount of time, a man's voice came from a few meters away from her, "There's a banquet tomorrow night, and I need you to accompany me."
When these two sentences are said together, it seems that there is some kind of causal relationship.
Because she will accompany him to the banquet tomorrow night, she will stay here tonight.
It sounds very natural.
"Okay." I don't know if it was because she just woke up, but Shen Wanwan was very easy to talk to.
And she also knew that this was an obligation that she should properly perform as a contractual fiancée.
You can't be ignorant of good and evil.
＊＊
On the evening of the next day, someone brought Shen Wanwan clothes for the banquet.
A conservative black dress, somewhat similar to the one Jiang Zhiyan prepared for Shen Wanwan when she returned from rebirth to attend Shen Qingxi's engagement party.
I don’t know if I have any special preferences.
Shen Wanwan didn't give in to these, and just put them on him casually.
After getting into the car, Shen Wanwan asked casually, "Excuse me, whose banquet are we going to?"
Jiang Zhiyan closed his eyes and rested his mind. After hearing the other party's question, he said calmly, "The eightieth birthday of Mr. Zhuo family."
Shen Wanwan's eyes suddenly turned from the driver to Jiang Zhiyan.
In fact, she was just asking the driver, but she didn't expect Jiang Zhiyan to answer her first.
The driver was even more afraid to hold the steering wheel at this moment.
Fortunately, he is always slow to react!
"Old man of the Zhuo family..." Shen Wanwan seemed familiar, but couldn't remember it for the moment.
Jiang Zhiyan hit the nail on the head and directly said the key, "He is the second brother's father-in-law."
After hearing this, Shen Wanwan opened her small mouth into an 'o' shape.
She understood instantly that tonight's banquet was not for her to enjoy the delicious food...
The car drove smoothly, and soon the two of them arrived at the banquet place.
It was a very luxurious mansion, with the tycoon atmosphere of the Dubai royal family everywhere.
Shen Wanwan pushed Jiang Zhiyan inside and found that there were quite a few people invited to the dinner tonight.
There were a few big shots that I had met at Mr. Jiang's birthday party before, but most of them were unfamiliar faces that Shen Wanwan had never seen before.
Shen Wanwan accidentally saw her uncle, Shen Cunyi's eldest brother, among the crowd.
Uncle Shen's family was even more surprised to see Shen Wanwan.
Not just anyone can be invited to this place, and even his brother is not so lucky.
A distance of more than ten meters, the uncle of the Shen family held a wine glass and poked his head towards Shen Wanwan in surprise, as if to confirm whether he was dazzled.
After a while, he raised his feet and headed towards Shen Wanwan.
But Shen Wanwan didn't give him this chance and quickly pushed Jiang Zhiyan into the main hall.
Jiang Zhiyan was asking the waiter about the type of drinks. Before he could finish his calm words, the scene in front of him changed quickly. The waiter had disappeared from his eyes. After a gust of wind, he was pushed away by his fiancée.
But Shen Wanwan was not an inconsiderate person. She quickly took a glass of wine from the waiter's wine tray and stuffed it into Jiang Zhiyan's hand.
Jiang Zhiyan looked at the pink glass of lady's champagne in his hand, with a dark and handsome face the whole time, "..."
Shen Wanwan and Jiang Zhiyan entered the home court before leaving Uncle Shen's family behind.
It's not that the uncle of the Shen family doesn't want to follow, it's that he can't.
He was stopped by the doorman when he reached the entrance of the lobby. Only guests who were closer to the birthday girl tonight could enter.
"This Shen Wanwan really thinks that he has flown onto a branch and turned into a phoenix!" Uncle Shen left angrily.
Fortunately, when she was kidnapped, he helped her contact the boss of the Jiang family!
Simply arrogant! !
Entering the main hall, Shen Wanwan saw a crowd not far away. A group of well-dressed and elegant guests surrounded a white-haired old man. Shen Wanwan knew that this was the birthday boy tonight.
"Mr. Zhuo is really in good shape. He doesn't look eighty at all. He looks more like a man in his forties or fifties."
"Mr. Zhuo is as chic as ever!"
"Mr. Zhuo has a broad heart and a broad body. When a person is in a good mood, his body will naturally flourish and remain as strong as ever."
"How do you say this?"
"If you can be as lucky as Mr. Zhuo and recruit a virtuous son-in-law like Mr. Jiang, you will know what to say..."
The guests said compliments and the atmosphere was extremely warm.
Among the crowd, apart from Mr. Zhuo, the one who attracted the most attention was the legendary grandson-in-law, Jiang Suiyang.
Mr. Zhuo patted Jiang Suiyang's shoulder, his face flushed. Because he was in a good mood, Mr. Zhuo drank a lot today and laughed very heartily.
"Mr. Zhuo is a good match for people and heaven."
"Mr. Zhuo will live a long life."
"Mr. Zhuo lives longer than Nanshan..."
Shen Wanwan pushed Jiang Zhiyan to stand not far away, listening to the group of people talking blindly with their eyes open.
She just took a quick look at Mr. Zhuo's face. The red light on his face was not a good omen. If he continued to drink like this, it was doubtful whether Mr. Zhuo would survive his birthday next year, let alone "live a hundred years." "Yes.
Such scenes are common at banquets, and Shen Wanwan has seen them many times since she was a child.
I don't know if it was because he was the father-in-law of the second master of the Jiang family. Seeing the two people's similar expressions, Shen Wanwan unconsciously felt a little more violent.
Jiang Zhiyan didn't like this kind of occasion either. He came here today just for a formality.
"Want to go there?" Shen Wanwan asked Jiang Zhiyan.
"Wait a moment."
Hearing the reply from the man in front of him, Shen Wanwan nodded slightly.
After a few minutes, after the group of people dispersed, Shen Wanwan slowly pushed Jiang Zhiyan forward.
However, before they could reach the front, they saw Jiang Suiyang lowering his head and starting a private chat with his father-in-law.
I heard that Jiang Suiyang had been absent from Mr. Zhuo's birthday banquet for several years, but suddenly showed up this year.
Not only that, but at the beginning of the banquet, Mr. Zhuo was given a very luxurious birthday gift. No wonder Mr. Zhuo was so happy today and drank so much wine.
However, Jiang Suiyang was not someone who would show courtesy for nothing. He came today because he wanted to ask his father-in-law for help.
The two people kept whispering, and Shen Wanwan couldn't hear clearly what they were saying. She could only vaguely hear something...
"Our old man was biased and gave all Blue Whale Pharmaceuticals to his third son. Instead, the hot potato was given to me... The risk rate was estimated to be extremely low before, but I don't know what happened next... Or the policy had too much impact on the confidence of investors... Grandpa, I suffered heavy losses this time, and my funds are also somewhat difficult to circulate..."
It smells like eating melons.
Shen Wanwan lowered her eyes and glanced at the man in front of her.
She could hear it, and so could he.
However, Jiang Zhiyan's expression was as normal, he was not affected in any way, and he had no intention of gossiping. At this moment, he was slowly arranging the sleeves of his shirt with a calm expression.
Shen Wanwan raised his eyebrows.
It seems interesting.
Mr. Zhuo glanced at his great grandson-in-law and said, "We are all one family. We don't want to lose anything. Grandpa still has some here, so just take it."
Jiang Suiyang pushed back and had no intention of accepting it immediately, but his expression was full of emotion, "Grandpa..."
Shen Wanwan finally saw clearly that Jiang Suiyang had the Zhuo family under control, especially Mr. Zhuo, who felt more at ease with him than with his own grandson.
Mr. Zhuo's family is prosperous and full of children and grandchildren, but the one who is most favored by Mr. Zhuo is probably Jiang Suiyang's wife.
But after all, it is not our own business, and it is not easy for outsiders to interfere.
Shen Wanwan just eats melon.
After a period of hypocritical politeness, Jiang Suiyang finally accepted his father-in-law's kindness and said, "When my problem is solved this time, I will return it to you with interest."
"Okay, Suiyang, grandpa is very fond of you. Don't mention anything that you can't repay. As long as you can always be good to my granddaughter, grandpa's family property will belong to you sooner or later. And grandpa believes that Mr. Jiang will also be able to see it sooner or later. Clearly, among the three of you brothers, who is the most potential future heir? As for the one born by the concubine..." When Mr. Zhuo saw someone coming, he immediately stopped what he had not finished, cleared his throat, and reminded himself with his eyes A good and virtuous grandson-in-law.
Jiang Suiyang looked at Shen Wanwan and the two, and a sarcastic and disdainful smile immediately appeared at the corner of his mouth.
According to reports, there is no business relationship between the Zhuo family and Jiang Zhiyan, but today's birthday party for Mr. Zhuo is an invitation specially sent by Jiang Suiyang to Jiang Zhiyan.
He just wanted his brother, who was from a humble background, to see how powerful his father-in-law was. He lost such a large amount of money, and his father-in-law made up for it without a second thought.
If his third brother married a lady from the Ling family, Jiang Suiyang might not be able to show off. However, if his younger brother insists on marrying that abandoned daughter of the Shen family, he will definitely be shorter than him in the future!
"In short," Mr. Zhuo glanced in Jiang Zhiyan's direction and said with a sanctimonious expression, "Suffering is a blessing. I hope you understand this truth."
Jiang Suiyang nodded, "Suiyang understands."
Shen Wanwan pushed Jiang Zhiyan forward. She was not familiar with Mr. Zhuo, so she couldn't think of any suitable blessing for a while.
His mind was filled with Mr. Zhuo's fake sentence "Suffering is a blessing" just now. As soon as the string in Shen Wanwan's mind hit the chord, she blurted out, "Mr. Zhuo, I wish you blessings like the East China Sea."
Mr. Zhuo: "..."
Jiang Suiyang: "..."
Jiang Zhiyan, "..."
The connection between the two sentences before and after is a bit too smooth and silky, and it is difficult for people not to have some unfavorable associations.
The area within half a meter fell silent.
But Shen Wanwan's eyes were neither humble nor overbearing. They were very innocent and one could not blame her.
Jiang Zhiyan raised his lips with unknown meaning. He cleared his throat, lowered his eyes, and said, "Mr. Zhuo, may you have a happy birthday."
Mr. Zhuo's expression had darkened, but he was surrounded by banquet guests, and he had nothing to say in front of everyone.
After the two groups were polite, Shen Wanwan pushed her fiancé away in a very sensible manner.
There was a lot of people in the lobby of the mansion, and the outer hall was much busier than the main hall. Shen Wanwan pushed Jiang Zhiyan through the crowd, but it was smooth and without any hindrance.
If this was a game of snake, Shen Wanwan would definitely be able to survive with Jiang Zhiyan until the end.
When she arrived at the less crowded dining area, Shen Wanwan thought for a while and asked politely, "Third Master, did I say the wrong thing just now?"
The man looked up at her and whispered, "No."
The relationship between him and Mr. Zhuo was normal, but Shen Wanwan had just taken a preemptive strike.
Shen Wanwan was completely relieved when he heard what he said.
However, just as she felt relieved, she heard a buzzing sound, and the phone in her hand vibrated, making her scalp tingle.
Shen Wanwan stretched out his arm to pick it up and took a look. It was a strange number without any notes.
The girl moved her finger and dialed to connect...
