The fake heiress from the 1970s was kicked out at the beginning, but became a village girl and was p

Before Jiang Yuyan could even see Ling Wenchen's return, she received an invitation to Old Wu's 70th birthday celebration in three days.

Master Qi also received an invitation to attend with his apprentice and his family.

Jiang Yuyan seemed to be thinking about something, and felt that Wu Lao's rare birthday banquet, which brought together relatives and friends, might not be so simple.

Three days later quickly passed.

Wearing a pink floral dress designed by Jiang Muren that accentuates the waist, makes her look slimmer, and exudes elegance, Jiang Yuyan and her master prepared to attend Old Wu's birthday banquet, carrying a small crossbody bag.

Neither Madam You nor the three Jiang brothers went, not wanting to cause them any trouble, and decided to stay at home instead.

Jiang Muxuan is preparing for the second National College Entrance Examination (Gaokao). This time, he plans to apply to the best university in the country to prepare for his future career.

Wu's family home.

Today, many important figures came to the residential compound for Mr. Wu's 70th birthday banquet, making it a rare and lively occasion.

For a political figure like Mr. Wu, hosting large-scale banquets or similar events is the easiest way for someone to find fault with him and report him to step down.

However, for a 70th birthday banquet like today's, Mr. Wu had reported it to his superiors in advance.

The real purpose was to give everyone a surprise through this banquet.

Therefore, the authorities turned a blind eye to Mr. Wu's birthday banquet.

Just as Jiang Yuyan and Old Qi arrived at the entrance of the family compound and were about to go in, a hesitant voice came from behind them.

"Jiang Yuyan?"

Jiang Yuyan turned her head and saw Lin Yue, who was dressed in heavy makeup and a pink cheongsam. She looked at her in disbelief.

"Is it really you?"

"Jiang Yuyan, why are you here?"

Lin Yue was about to question Jiang Yuyan, but she couldn't care less about Wu Tiansun's family, when she was interrupted by Wu Tiansun's mother.

Madam Wu frowned, looking impatient.

"Lin Yue, what are you doing? Is this a friend you know? If not, get out of here. We need to get to Old Master Wu's birthday banquet. We don't have time to listen to your nonsense."

Today is the most important day for her son, and nothing can be delayed, especially not something involving that little bitch Lin Yue.

Whenever Madam Wu thought of it,

From today onwards, in front of all the nobles, Old Master Wu announced that Wu Tiansun would be adopted into his name and become his rightful grandson, and her heart was filled with excitement.

Lin Yue forced a smile.

"Mother, this is Jiang Yuyan, the girl I was switched at birth with."

As she spoke, she deliberately raised her voice so that at least the people near the entrance of the residential compound could hear her.

"My adoptive parents live in a small mountain village three days and two nights' train ride from Beijing. My biological parents didn't want her to leave, but who knew—"

He paused deliberately before continuing.

"The next day, she went crazy for some reason, beat my mother, and then boldly extorted two thousand yuan in cash from my father. After that, she severed ties with our family and left."

At this point, Lin Yue glanced weakly at Jiang Yuyan, who was calmly watching the show with her arms crossed, and cursed inwardly.

What does Jiang Yuyan mean?

Is she performing a monkey show?

However, now is not the time to argue with her.

Lin Yue didn't know how Jiang Yuyan managed to get into the family compound.

But starting today, she will ruin Jiang Yuyan's reputation here forever, beyond repair.

This will make her so ashamed that she can no longer stay in Beijing and will never dare to appear in front of her again.

"I thought she had a change of heart and went back to her biological family. Although her adoptive family was in a small mountain village, and their life was more difficult, with more work and more exhaustion than that of ordinary villagers—"

"However, this is a very normal situation in the countryside. Every child in the countryside learns to help with chores and housework from a young age, and sometimes they even help with farm work to earn work points."

Immediately, the way people around Jiang Yuyan looked at her became strange, filled with contempt and sarcasm.

It's not that she doesn't want to go back; it's clearly that she dislikes her biological family's poverty, can't stand the hardship, and just found some connections to stay in Beijing.

As for how this relationship came about?

Look at the old man standing next to her, and everything is self-evident.

In an instant, everyone who passed by the family compound and heard Lin Yue's words regarded Jiang Yuyan as a woman who would sell her body for her own purposes.

Lin Yue felt the strange looks people were giving Jiang Yuyan, and she couldn't help but feel excited, a smile flashing in her eyes.

Now, Jiang Yuyan, you're so embarrassed!

Lin Yue looked at Jiang Yuyan, expecting to see her looking utterly ashamed and indignant.

Who knows—

Jiang Yuyan still wore a half-smile, looking at them with an expression of watching a monkey show.

She remained calm and unaffected by the discussions around her, as if she hadn't heard them at all.

This nonchalant attitude made some clever people realize something, so they chose not to participate or discuss it, and quietly watched the drama unfold.

Who knows, things might take a turn for the better?

Just then, a group of people ran into the family compound, breaking the tense atmosphere.

"Oh my dear, you're coming to Old Master Wu's birthday banquet today, why didn't you tell your mother?"

From a great distance, they could hear Ling's mother calling out to Jiang Yuyan.

Everyone who comes to or lives in the family compound knows the Ling family, knows Mr. and Mrs. Ling, and knows Mrs. Ling's personality.

Seeing her greet a strange woman so warmly, an older sister who was on good terms with her came over and asked curiously,

"What's going on here? Who is this woman? I've never seen her before!"

Ling's mother held Jiang Yuyan's hand affectionately and smiled.

"Oh, you don't know? This is my daughter-in-law, and this is her mentor, Old Qi. He's a senior member of the military and a good friend of Old Wu."

Ling's mother chuckled, seemingly oblivious to the fact that the group of people behind her froze in place upon hearing her words.

"You wouldn't believe it, but Old Wu personally sent someone to invite them this time. He said that if he hadn't done that, they might not have had time to come to the birthday banquet."

"Well, as soon as I heard the news, I thought I'd come out to pick them up, but I got so busy that I lost track of time. I have to go now, we should head back. We can chat again next time."

After saying that, he led Jiang Yuyan and Elder Qi inside.

As Jiang Yuyan passed by Lin Yue, whose face was pale, she cast a sarcastic glance at her and walked past her without saying a word.

This almost caused Lin Yue, whose mind was already blank, to break down on the spot.

Madam Wu's face turned even uglier, and her eyes were full of hostility as she looked at Lin Yue. If she could vent her anger now, she would have loved to slap that bitch Lin Yue.

Something that does more harm than good.

"Grandson of Heaven, let's go! Haven't we embarrassed ourselves enough?"

After saying that, Madam Wu pulled Wu Tiansun into the family compound, showing no respect whatsoever to her daughter-in-law.

Standing still, Lin Yue's eyes were unfathomable, and she seemed to be lost in thought. Her gaze toward Madam Wu grew increasingly gloomy.

After a moment, she remained silent and followed behind them.

With all the guests present, Mr. Wu's birthday banquet officially began.
