Jian Yiling received a message from the old man's representative:
[Dr. F.S, our old man wants to meet with you.]
Jian Yiling's reply was concise and to the point: [Time and place.]
This was because Jian Yiling had already received help from this old man twice. It was time for her to fulfill her promise.
And thus, Jian Yiling agreed to the old man's request without any hesitation.
[This weekend, Mrs. Qin is hosting a charity dinner. The invitation has been sent to your home by express delivery.]
The charity dinner that Qin Shixuan's wife was hosting?
Qin Shixuan had invited Jian Yiling before. However, Jian Yiling had refused.
However, since the old man wanted to meet her at the charity dinner, she had no reason to refuse.
[Okay.] Jian Yiling replied.
###
Qin Shixuan's wife was hosting a charity dinner at a hotel that was owned by the Yu family. She had invited all the famous people in Hengyuan City who were interested in charity to attend.
The entire lobby of the hotel had been booked. Under the dazzling lights, every guest was dressed to the nines.
As they were from the Qin family in Beijing, many people came to Mrs. Qin's charity dinner. As long as she had been invited, everyone showed up.
He Yan had received this precious invitation three days ago. As her husband, Jian Shuhong, had something to do at his company, she had dragged her eldest son, Jian Yumin, to accompany her.
Jian Yumin had agreed. Although he was usually against his mother, He Yan was still his mother. He would always agree to any reasonable request.
"Yumin, be careful. I heard that there's going to be a very important old man here today."
And thus, she wasn't only going to see Qin Shixuan and his wife. She was also going to see an even more important old man.
Today's trip could be said to be very worthwhile.
He Yan had dressed up very carefully.
In the past, she was a popular actress. Her appearance and temperament were naturally outstanding.
She had three sons. Although she was already in her fifties, she looked like she was in her early forties.
Jian Yumin, who was dressed in formal attire, was also very eye-catching. Many of the young socialites present couldn't help but look at him.
Many of the ladies took the initiative to greet He Yan when they saw her. He Yan was very happy to respond.
When she was free, He Yan couldn't help but look at the door, paying attention to the newcomers.
However, He Yan didn't see any important figures. Instead, she saw Jian Yiling.
He Yan's face immediately sank. She wondered why Jian Yiling would appear here.
Could Wen Nuan be here as well?
Before she came, He Yan had asked around and learned that Wen Nuan did not receive an invitation. The reason was that Wen Nuan had explained her situation to Mrs. Qin in advance. To avoid awkwardness, Mrs. Qin did not send her an invitation.
Sometimes, He Yan's anger toward Nuan was not without reason.
Both of them were daughters-in-law of the Jian family. However, Wen Nuan's social circle was much better than He Yan's. He Yan would do anything to befriend someone like Mrs. Qin.
What about warmth? She had her own ways of contacting Mrs. Qin.
When Jian Yumin saw Jian Yiling, his eyes lit up. He immediately walked towards her.
He Yan didn't stop him. Instead, she followed Jian Yumin to Jian Yiling.
In public, He Yan still had to maintain the face of the Jian family.
