To marry into the family in place of his brother? Impossible!

These people are considered members of the Song family, but they are also dependent on the Song family.

What they were thinking about most was whether they could gain more benefits.

As for who they marry, they don't really care.

However, if they were to choose between Jiang Jinhuan and Bai Zifeng, the vast majority of these people would definitely choose Bai Zifeng.

They believed that a marriage alliance with the Bai family would bring them more benefits!

Song Qingci looked at Bai Zifeng and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Since they were guests, and the Song and Bai families were indeed interested in cooperating, the Song family, as a top-tier wealthy family, naturally had businesses in Shanghai.

Now, the two developers in Shanghai's Economic and Technological Development Zone intend to cooperate to acquire the largest plot of land, and their cooperation will gradually deepen in the future. At this time, I can't turn them away; I have to save face.

After all, she is the president of Xingyao, and she has an obligation to consider the company's interests. She can't bring herself to kick someone out right away.

If I actually do it, it will only become an excuse for some people to attack me.

As a woman, becoming the president of the Song Group inevitably attracts the jealousy of some people with ulterior motives.

Just then, Bai Zifeng seemed to notice Jiang Jinhuan.

He looked him up and down, his eyes filled with a condescending scrutiny, and a slight, ambiguous smile played on his lips.

"Who is this?"

Song Qingci grabbed Jiang Jinhuan's wrist: "Zifeng, let me introduce you, this is my..."

Bai Zifeng suddenly interrupted Song Qingci: "Oh, I remember now, you're Qingci's assistant, right? Your name is Jiang... what was it again?"

Song Qingci's eyes turned cold as she said, "Zifeng, he's more than just my assistant!"

Jiang Jinhuan is indeed still working as an assistant, but now that they've registered their marriage, he's her legal husband.

She wanted to use this opportunity to confirm that they were husband and wife.

This was the first step, and it was progressing smoothly until Bai Zifeng caused this unexpected problem.

Bai Zifeng looked at Song Qingci, his tone filled with a hint of doting: "Qingci, what do you mean by bringing your assistant home for the New Year?"

Oh, I know what you mean. You're just using him as a shield, aren't you?

But even if Qingci had to appease her family, she should at least find someone decent. Someone like him, isn't he a bit beneath her?

This is mockery, a provocation against Jiang Jin Huan.

Some people unconsciously compared Jiang Jinhuan and Bai Zifeng, saying, "Actually, apart from his family background, Jiang Jinhuan seems pretty good too!"

"Heh, at least some people aren't blind. Jiang Jinhuan's looks and abilities are no worse than Bai Zifeng's. The only problem is his background."

"That's the biggest problem. In the eyes of us wealthy families, the most important thing is to marry someone of equal social standing. Jiang Jinhuan is an outcast of the Jiang family, so he's really not presentable!"

The air in the banquet hall seemed to freeze because of Bai Zifeng's words.

Mr. Song's face darkened completely, and Mrs. Song's lips twitched slightly, her expression extremely awkward.

Song Qingci narrowed her eyes, her gaze turning somewhat unfriendly.

But Bai Zifeng didn't seem to notice.

Jiang Jinhuan's gaze fell on Bai Zifeng's face, without any anger, but rather with a hint of curiosity.

He was sizing up Bai Zifeng, just as Bai Zifeng was sizing him up.

Song Qingci said coldly, "Bai Zifeng, I've already said it, he's not only my assistant, he has another identity: he's my husband! We're legally married!"

Bai Zifeng was stunned for a moment, a hint of annoyance flashing in his eyes, but he looked completely unconvinced.

But then he laughed: "Qingci, it seems I guessed right. I knew you were using him as a shield. If you really liked him, why would you prepare such a precious gift for me?"

"A gift? When did I ever give you a gift?"

Bai Zifeng straightened his clothes: "Qingci, why do you keep deceiving yourself?"

Bai Zifeng then raised his wrist, and his clothes slipped down, revealing his wrist.

At that moment, a watch was prominently displayed on his wrist.

"Qingci, I really like this watch, thank you!"

Jiang Jinhuan looked over, narrowed his eyes, and revealed a hint of understanding.

He had seen that watch before; it was the one Song Qingci wanted to give him, but the watch strap was engraved with Bai Zifeng's name.

Song Qingci said yesterday that this watch was for himself, and he would keep it safe even if he didn't wear it.

But now, in the blink of an eye, this watch appears on Bai Zifeng's wrist.

He simply didn't believe that there was nothing between the two of them.

But isn't this exactly what he wanted?

If Song Qingci is truly sincere towards him, he really doesn't know what to do.

But now, he actually felt a little more relaxed.

Perhaps this ending is better for both him and Song Qingci.

At this moment, everyone understood Bai Zifeng's words and looked over in surprise.

Then it landed on the watch on Bai Zifeng's wrist.

"Qingci knew Bai Zifeng was coming back, so she bought him a gift?"

"This watch is a limited edition Richard Mille, with only a little over a hundred pieces made worldwide, costing over ten million!"

"Hiss—, over ten million? Qingci actually bought Bai Zifeng such an expensive gift?"

"Such a precious gift, it's probably only given to one's closest loved ones, right?"

"I never expected Qingci to give Bai Zifeng such a precious gift!"

"So it's obvious that Qingci likes Bai Zifeng!"

Jiang Jinhuan narrowed his eyes as he looked at the watch: "More than ten million. Surely you would only be so willing to spend money on someone you love."

Judging from this, Bai Zifeng definitely holds a high position in Song Qingci's heart!

Jiang Jinhuan stroked his wine glass and looked at Song Qingci.

Without doubt or question, he simply waited.

Waiting for Song Qingci to make a choice.

Song Qingci stared at the watch, first puzzled, then shocked, and finally speechless. "Zhao Wan'er, what have you done!"

Song Qingci cursed under his breath, took a deep breath, and said, "How did this watch end up with you? Didn't I give it to Xiao Wan?"

Bai Zifeng said affectionately, "Qingci, I knew we were truly in love. If Zhao Wan'er hadn't told me, I probably would have missed you. I'm sorry I'm late! Thank you for the gift, I love it!"

Song Qingci immediately said, "This isn't a gift for you. Wan'er took it from me yesterday. I didn't expect her to give it to you!"

Bai Zifeng laughed, "Qingci, you're still the same! You never say anything out loud, you insist on keeping it all to yourself. My name is engraved on this watch strap!"

Everyone was shocked again. What? The watch strap was engraved with Bai Zifeng's name?

"My God, does that mean this ten million dollar watch was custom-made for Bai Zifeng?"

"It seems to be true. If it wasn't a custom order, why would they engrave it on the watch strap? That's a top-tier luxury store; how could they make such a basic mistake?"

"So, Qingci has always liked Bai Zifeng? Then what's the deal with Jiang Jinhuan?"

"It's probably to provoke Bai Zifeng, right? These young people nowadays love to play this trick. Qingci is doing this on purpose; she wants to make Bai Zifeng bow down."

"So that's how it is. Jiang Jinhuan was just a tool used to provoke Bai Zifeng. No wonder Qingci fell for a Jiang family outcast!"

"Hehe, this is going to be good. Jiang Jinhuan has really lost face this time."
