A spoiled brat at max level transmigrates into the male lead's vicious ex-girlfriend.

Hearing that Ji Silin and Grandpa Ji both said this, Grandpa Lin regretted inviting Jiang Hongren even more.

I almost really offended the Ji family.

Among the guests, Xu Yanlin felt as if he had been slapped in the face, his face burning with embarrassment.

I never expected Ji Silin to be so protective of Meng Mian.

This is happening in front of so many people.

Everyone heard it.

If it were him, he wouldn't say such a thing.

If someone misunderstands and thinks he's the one clinging to Meng Mian, he'll lose face.

And they'll definitely laugh at him, thinking he can't accept clinging to a woman.

He can do it in private, but in public, he really can't.

Grandpa Li, Li Muchuan, and Lin Jing all apologized to Meng Mian with great embarrassment: "We're so sorry, we invited you to the engagement banquet, but you were bullied."

Upon seeing this, Old Master Lin quickly apologized as well: "Yes, yes, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry."

Meng Mian smiled and said, "No, you don't need to feel embarrassed or sorry. Even if they didn't cause me trouble today, they would have in the future. It just happened to happen to be here. It has nothing to do with you."

Then Meng Mian took the gift from the bodyguard and handed it to Li Muchuan and Lin Jing: "This is for you, wishing you a happy engagement."

"Thank you." Li Muchuan and Lin Jing both smiled and accepted the gifts.

Ji Silin didn't say anything.

It was only when Grandpa Ji saw that Meng Mian didn't seem to mind that he smiled and said, "Happy engagement."

Upon hearing this, the other bodyguard immediately handed the gifts prepared by the Ji family to Li Muchuan and Lin Jing.

Li Muchuan and Lin Jing naturally thanked them as well.

Although Jiang Hongren and Yao Ting ran away, seemingly without any major incidents arising from bullying Meng Mian, the guests present all knew that Ji Silin was ruthless and it couldn't have ended there.

Besides, Meng Mian had just exposed Yao Ting's faking pregnancy.

Moreover, it's a bit strange that Jiang Hongren, who has had so many girlfriends, has never had any more children.

Anyway, everyone feels that something big is about to happen to the Jiang family.

However, it had nothing to do with them, so the guests naturally didn't care.

The matter was considered closed, and the banquet hall returned to normal.

Several elderly gentlemen present had a good relationship with Grandpa Ji, so Grandpa Ji naturally made a point of introducing Meng Mian to them.

Meng Mian was also instructed to call these old men "Grandpa".

These old men all had kind faces and nodded repeatedly, clearly liking Meng Mian very much.

I find Meng Mian likable.

At the same time, everyone could see that Old Master Ji was conveying a message to them: Meng Mian would be his granddaughter-in-law in the future.

Grandpa Li was puzzled, because his granddaughter Li Xiwei had introduced Meng Mian to him before.

It was at his birthday banquet.

But at the time, Meng Mian gave him the impression of someone who wanted to climb the social ladder, and was extremely ingratiating and greedy towards the rich and powerful.

He was naturally unhappy at the time.

However, since it was his birthday banquet and the guests were his granddaughter's friends, he politely said a few words to Meng Mian before turning to talk to others.

The current Meng Mian is completely different from before.

No wonder his grandson and granddaughter said that.

They say Meng Mian has changed.

She's really likable.

It makes me feel good just looking at it.

No wonder his good friend, Grandpa Ji, liked Meng Mian so much.

It was when Grandpa Ji introduced Meng Mian to these old men that Meng Mian unintentionally turned her head and saw Xu Yanlin.

Xu Yanlin was standing next to a man, who should be Xu Yanlin's father, Xu Haokun.

As soon as Xu Yanlin saw Meng Mian looking over, he immediately turned his back to her and started talking to someone else with his father, Xu Haokun.

If his dad hadn't been right next to him, he would have run away immediately!

Ji Silin was so afraid to let his father know that Meng Mian had taught him a lesson!

Of course, most importantly, Ji Silin is here too!

If I saw him in the banquet hall, looking at Meng Mian, or even making eye contact with her, I'd probably teach him a lesson again!

The last time I ran into her in the hospital ward, Xu Yanlin treated her like a monster, refusing to take the elevator and instead going straight into the stairwell to walk up the stairs.

Seeing Xu Yanlin like this now, Meng Mian was not surprised.

But I still find it quite strange, and I don't understand why Xu Yanlin suddenly became like this.

However, Meng Mian still didn't care.

He turned his gaze back to Grandpa Ji.

Ji Silin also saw Xu Yanlin.

Although Xu Yanlin did not keep his promise and avoided Meng Mian whenever he saw her.

But at least he didn't get any closer to Meng Mian.

He pretended not to see it and ignored Xu Yanlin.

The engagement banquet started promptly at noon.

Meng Mian sat at the main table with Grandpa Ji and Ji Silin.

The main table is reserved for people of extremely high status and position; they are all top-tier figures, the most powerful among the powerful.

Meng Mian can sit because she is Ji Silin's girlfriend.

There's no reason for the head of a top-tier wealthy family to sit separately from his girlfriend.

Logically speaking, she was sitting next to Ji Silin.

I didn't sit next to Grandpa Ji.

The Li family arranged it this way: Old Master Ji, as Ji Silin's grandfather, sat above Ji Silin, and then Ji Silin himself sat next to him.

Then there's Ji Silin's girlfriend, who is her.

But when Ji Silin saw that the seating arrangement was like this, he let her sit between him and his grandfather.

Grandpa Ji also didn't like her sitting next to them, rather than in the middle.

I was also worried that the person on her other side was someone she didn't know well, and that she might feel uncomfortable sitting like that.

Meng Mian was extremely happy.

She doesn't really like sitting with people she's not familiar with.

These three positions are clearly meant for the Ji family, so they can change them however they want without affecting anyone else.

However, to others, it was clear how much Ji Silin and Grandpa Ji doted on Meng Mian.

Everyone couldn't help but open their mouths.

Even though Li Xiwei is her own sister, she can't sit at the head table.

At the main table, there was another person who wasn't in power: Lin Jing.

But Lin Jing is the leading lady of this engagement banquet, so it's impossible to let her sit at another table.

Otherwise, Lin Jing wouldn't have been able to sit at the head table.

Because Meng Mian had to go to work in the afternoon, Ji Silin wouldn't let her touch any alcohol.

Meng Mian didn't want to touch it either, so she obediently drank the beverage that Ji Silin poured for her.

The beverage is freshly squeezed orange juice from the hotel, containing no alcohol whatsoever.

As usual, Ji Silin took care of Meng Mian throughout her meal.

They were extremely careful, afraid that Meng Mian would get burned.

Meng Mian just needed to keep her head down and finish the food in her bowl.

Of course, she would occasionally say what she wanted to eat, and Ji Silin would put it on her plate.

If the temperature is suitable for her to eat immediately, put it in her bowl.

If it's not something she can eat, put it on the plate in front of him first, and wait until it cools down to a temperature she can eat before picking it up and putting it in her bowl.

"I want that mantis shrimp," Meng Mian said sweetly to Ji Silin, raising her head.

"Mm," Ji Silin said gently.

Then he picked up two extra-large boiled mantis shrimp, peeled them himself, and put the shrimp meat directly into Meng Mian's bowl after checking that it was at a temperature that Meng Mian could eat.

Ji Silin then served Meng Mian some braised Wagyu beef slices, jellyfish with fish maw, and honey-braised pork hock.

They also served me some vegetarian dishes, such as Yunnan ham and bok choy, stir-fried lily bulbs with truffles and asparagus, braised bok choy with bamboo fungus, and braised kale with king oyster mushrooms.

He always made sure to provide Meng Mian with a balanced diet of meat and vegetables.

Apart from Grandpa Ji, Li Muchuan, and Li Xiwei, everyone had seen Ji Silin taking care of Meng Mian, so they weren't surprised.

Everyone else was stunned.
