Ji Silin was used to it, and then got into the car.

The car was spacious, and even with all three of us sitting in the back, it wasn't cramped at all.

"Grandpa, why didn't you go to the banquet first?" Meng Mian asked, her little face full of excitement.

The old man was even happier to see his granddaughter-in-law like this.

He grinned from ear to ear and said, "It's not far, so I came to pick you up anyway."

"Grandpa, you're so kind!" Meng Mian said immediately. She was extremely sweet-talking.

The old man was overjoyed.

The old man's face was radiant with health.

Ji Silin didn't say a word, but simply fastened the seatbelt to Meng Mian.

Meng Mian was so happy that she forgot about this.

But it's alright, Ji Silin will be careful.

Isn't this already fastening her seatbelt?

Meng Mian obediently let Ji Silin fasten her seatbelt, just like a good baby.

The elderly people who saw it were in a good mood.

Just as the car started moving again, leaving the entrance of the Li Group and heading towards the Ji Hotel.

Ji's Grand Hotel, second floor, grand banquet hall.

Yao Ting is already in the banquet hall.

She didn't wear such high heels today, lest Jiang Hongren criticize her.

She was also afraid that Jiang Hongren would discover that she was faking her pregnancy.

Jiang Hongren originally didn't want to bring Yao Ting, since Yao Ting had no family background.

But Yao Ting kept begging him, saying she wanted to see the world.

Given that she was pregnant with his child, he eventually agreed and brought her along.

In the past, he would never have imagined that he would be with an ordinary person like Yao Ting.

That was the day he sent his daughter, Jiang Manjie, abroad.

He hated himself for not being able to protect his daughter, and could only send her abroad to preserve everything.

So that night, he got drunk.

Yao Ting climbed into his bed that night after seeing him drunk.

Afterwards, he gave Yao Ting five million yuan and told her to get lost.

Unexpectedly, two weeks later, Yao Ting found him and said that she hadn't had her period and was probably pregnant.

A check-up at the hospital confirmed that she was indeed pregnant.

The date of her pregnancy also coincided with that day.

Although he dotes on his daughter, it's because she's his only child.

He actually hoped that he could have a son to inherit everything he had.

Unfortunately, over the years, even though he had kept other women as mistresses, none of them had gotten pregnant with his child.

He had given up hope, which is why he became even more indulgent towards Jiang Manjie, his only child.

Now that Yao Ting is pregnant, he naturally rekindled his passion.

I hope it will be a son.

He even promised Yao Ting that if it was a boy, he would get married to her after the child was safely born.

Among those present were people who had been at the auction and knew that Yao Ting had instigated Jiang Manjie, which led Jiang Manjie to cause trouble for Meng Mian.

But these people could see that Jiang Hongren was clearly protecting Yao Ting, and Yao Ting was even very affectionately holding Jiang Hongren's arm.

Even though they were talking to Jiang Hongren, they didn't mention this matter.

Seeing that some wealthy ladies and socialites had to greet her because Jiang Hongren was right next to her, Yao Ting felt extremely smug.

Taking advantage of this moment, Yao Ting deliberately asked with a smile, "Do you know Meng Mian?"

These wealthy young ladies didn't actually want to talk to Yao Ting, but what could they do when their families couldn't compare to the Jiang family's?

At this point, all I could do was bite the bullet and say, "You mean Mr. Ji's girlfriend, Meng Mian? If it's Meng Mian, who doesn't know her? Everyone says Mr. Ji even gave her a black card with no spending limit."

Yao Ting also hates this.

Others not only treated Meng Mian with exceptional respect and courtesy because of Ji Silin, but also greatly envied Meng Mian.

What's there to envy about someone like Meng Mian!

Yao Ting immediately said, "She doesn't have any unlimited black cards anymore; she's broken up with President Ji!"

"Huh? They broke up?" The wealthy ladies and socialites were extremely surprised. "No way, they really broke up?"

As soon as Yao Ting said this, everyone around her who was talking to others was drawn to her attention.

They all stopped talking and looked over.

I want to hear the truth: has President Ji broken up with his girlfriend?

Yao Ting was very satisfied with the result.

She wished the whole world knew that Meng Mian was no longer Ji Silin's girlfriend.

With so many people knowing this, it will definitely spread even further and become known to even more people.

"What good would it do me to lie to you? We really broke up," Yao Ting said with absolute certainty, smiling.

Jiang Hongren still did not stop Yao Ting.

Yao Ting had told him about this on the way here.

He didn't believe it at first.

But Yao Ting repeatedly assured everyone that what she said was true.

And indeed, what benefit would Yao Ting gain from lying to him about this?

He naturally believed it.

He was initially wary of Ji Silin. Even though they had broken up, she was still Ji Silin's ex-girlfriend, and he couldn't embarrass Meng Mian in public, but he could do so in private.

However, Yao Ting also said that there was no affection between Meng Mian and Ji Silin at all, and they just dated for three months for some unknown reason. She added that Ji Silin would definitely not stand up for Meng Mian again.

Besides, it's just stating the fact of the breakup in public, and there's no fabrication involved, so it should be fine.

Besides, he hated Meng Mian.

His daughter was sent abroad because of Meng Mian and can't come back.

The day his daughter was sent abroad, he had already decided that the day Meng Mian broke up with Ji Silin, he would definitely teach Meng Mian a lesson in private.

He didn't believe that Meng Mian, who came from a rural background, could stay with Ji Silin for life.

If he weren't attending this engagement party now, he would have already taken action.

Now he can only deal with Meng Mian after the engagement banquet is over.

Although everyone felt that there was no benefit in deceiving them, they still did not believe it.

After all, words alone are not enough to prove anything.

Yao Ting realized what was going on and immediately became anxious: "When Meng Mian arrives, ask her! I guarantee it's true!"

Because of her words, everyone believed her to some extent.

Even if others believe it to some extent, they'll just treat it as gossip.

Only Xu Yanlin was seething with anger.

Because the Xu family and the Li family are now cooperating, the Li family also sent an invitation to the Xu family, and his father asked him to come and attend today's engagement banquet.

His father is right next to him now, and is taking this opportunity to constantly make connections with other wealthy families.

Although the Xu family is a wealthy family, they are considered to be at the lower end of the elite social circle.

Ji Silin clearly said that day that they wouldn't break up!

As expected, Ji Silin is a scumbag!

Li Xiwei entered the banquet hall and saw so many people gathered there, but she didn't pay much attention. However, when she noticed that her brother wasn't in the banquet hall, she went out to find her sister-in-law.

Her sister-in-law was putting on makeup in the presidential suite.

Her brother is probably with her sister-in-law.

They were indeed together.

Her sister-in-law had finished her makeup and was all dressed.

Li Muchuan had been greeting guests in the banquet hall and only came to the presidential suite during a break, probably because he was worried that Lin Jing would still wear that backless dress.

Seeing that Lin Jing was not there, he was relieved.

I have to go downstairs to greet the guests again.

Little did he know that his sister would arrive.

His sister immediately held up her phone: "Brother, come here, let me take some pictures of you and your wife. Even if it's not a wedding, let's take some pictures to remember the occasion."

Li Muchuan thought it was a good idea, and Lin Jing had no objections either.

Then the two of them stood together and took a picture.

But the photos that were taken weren't very good.

Li Muchuan, Lin Jing, and Li Xiwei were all dissatisfied.

But since today is an engagement, not a wedding, no photographer was hired.

Otherwise, they would have had a photographer take their picture.

Then Li Xiwei thought of Meng Mian.
