It was a bit early for the evening sky in Beijing in May. Jiang Yan just came out of school, and Yang Si Fang had asked for her leave from self-study. Outside, it was raining, and the April rain always gave people a feeling of gentle and quiet moisture.

  She stood under the Renhe Building and saw from afar that the big Benz was parked there.

  She walked straight to the car with her backpack, and the car drove along the river. The night view of Beijing entered her eyes, with neon lights just turned on, prosperous and luxurious.

  She was idly scratching her head, her pale face hidden behind a curtain of hair. Driver Zhang glanced at her through the rearview mirror, wondering to himself whether Miss Jiang would make it through this banquet unscathed today.

  Jiang Yan lowered her head, holding a messy earphone in her hand. The earphone cord was wrapped around and around, its unclear whether it was because she felt too anxious or the wrapping was too tight, no matter how hard she tried to untangle it, it only got more knotted.

  "Miss, weve arrived."

  Jiang Hong International, one of the top restaurants in Beijing, even those who are ranked first in Beijing need to make a reservation before coming here.

  She could tell from the hair on her head that Zheng Hu Li had called her here for no good reason, and she just didnt know what "surprise" Zheng Hu Li and Yang Si Fang had prepared for her today.

  "Uncle Zhang, you go first, Ill take a taxi back later."

  "Miss, be careful."

  She followed the suite number Yang Sifang gave her and went inside.

  The grand and magnificent palace, the antique arrangement, those flower vases placed in the corners may not be eye-catching, but they are also valuable, giving people a sense of mystery as if entering an imperial palace.

  She had just walked in when the waiter came up to ask if she had a reservation.

  She reported Yang Sifangs name, and the service staff checked the computer, then pointed her to a road, telling her to keep going east.

  The corridor of the private room was very long, and she walked around for a while.

  She has always thought of herself as clever, but when it comes to finding her way around, her brains are completely useless.

  She is a southerner and doesnt understand the east-south-west-north directions that northerners love to talk about. Its better to use up-down-left-right with her instead.

  After spending a lot of time, she finally found the private room. She didnt go in at first, but just stood at the door and could hear the laughter inside, with Zheng Hu Lis laughter being the loudest.

  A middle-aged mans voice, "Xiao Yan is eighteen today, isnt it? What a great day."

  Jiang Yans hand tightened on the hilt, a faint sneer playing at the corner of his mouth. Eighteen?

  Fart!

  ------

  The lobby manager had been waiting outside for a long time, because that little Ye had called ahead of time to say that today was going to celebrate the birthday of Ruans second master, and asked him to leave the third floor empty.

  Ruans second brother has spent the past three years birthdays at Jiang Hong International, for a simple reason: Jiang Hong International belongs to Ye Chens family, and Ye Chen is too lazy to find a satisfactory venue for Ruan Jianglin, who happens to be quite satisfied with Jiang Hong.

  As for all sorts of troubles, Jiang Hong International has become a fixed place for Old Master Ruan to celebrate his birthday every year.

  This Ruan familys second master is quite a picky one, its hard for Jiang Hong to still be able to enter his eyes.

  The evening breeze in May brings the cool air from the river, and after blowing for a long time, its still a bit cold. The manager of the hall shrinks his neck and wonders why those two ancestors havent arrived yet. The other few people in the private room have called him several times to ask if he has received anyone yet?

  He stood far away until Ye Chens flashy Lamborghini approached, then he saw it and hurried to open the car door. Ruan Jianglin got out of the car first, Ye Chen threw the car key to the lobby manager and went in with Ruan Jianglin.

  He walked in and Ye Chen teased him, "Hey, thought it through? Really not going to call Fang Siqi?"

  It wasnt long ago that Feng Xiao was quite favored, even getting Hollywood blockbuster resources from him, I thought he liked others a lot.

  However, they all say that Feng Xiao Xiao is not a simple person. She can stay by Ruan Jiangs side for half a year, she is the first one to break Ruan Jiangs 26-year record.

  "Whats on your mind?" He teased, with a mischievous glint in his eyes.

  He had just returned from Haicheng, still wearing his formal attire, with the suit jacket slung over his arm, revealing his sturdy forearm.

  But Ruan Jianglin was raised pamperedly at home since childhood, staying by the side of his elderly grandmother, who doted on this precious grandson and treated him as if he were a girl, not allowing him to get hurt or catch cold.

  So he was very fair-skinned, even whiter than many women, with slender fingers that added a few points of elegance to him.

  When Ruan Jiang pinched his words, a pair of peach blossom eyes hooked people in and couldnt help but fall in. The two buttons below the collarbone were all loose, and he looked like a Beijing young master, less serious than yesterdays bidding meeting, looking lazy.

  "Are you kidding me? I was just chatting with Yaozi and the others a while back, saying that with her looks and figure, shed probably still be stuck by your side for another month. Brother, youre really screwing me over this time, cant hold on any longer?"

  "If she stays any longer, Im afraid Y wont get up." He was lazy and had a laid-back attitude, which he had since childhood. He always gave off an air of being the big boss, and after a long time, Ye Chen and the others got used to it.

  Ye Chen was chatting with Ruan Jianglin about off-color jokes and didnt notice the commotion in the hall, but as soon as he walked in, he heard a loud slapping sound.

  Especially loud and clear, with a hint of piercingness, Ruan Jiang furrowed his brow.

  In the distance, a middle-aged couple in their 40s and a little girl who didnt look very big were arguing about something.

  The man moved his hand.

  Theres nothing much to appreciate about this kind of thing, but that little girl is quite good-looking, with a clear and cold appearance, having a few points of the beauty of a distant mountain and a beautiful eyebrow.

  Jiang Yans face instantly turned red, she didnt expect Zheng Hu Li would physically fight with her.

  After all these years, although she and they are a family that dont get along, they have never had a public falling out.

  Her face was beaten to a pulp, Zheng Hu Lis strength was not small, hitting her ears buzzing, for an instant, she even thought she couldnt hear anything.

  "Why cant you speak properly? What are you hitting the kid for?" Yang Sifang felt embarrassed, and in front of so many people, publicly beating someone was indeed too excessive.

  After a few seconds, Yang Sifang turned around and started arguing with Zheng Guoyu again!

  "For over a decade, Ive provided for this ungrateful woman with branded clothes, education from prestigious schools, and an upper-class lifestyle! But what does she do? Not only is she unappreciative when I throw her a birthday party, but she also manages to offend the companys CEO!"

  Jiang Yan looked at him with his two lips constantly flipping, his head dizzy.

  Zheng Guoyu scolded even more excessively, and got himself all worked up. If Yang Sifang hadnt stopped him, he would have rushed over to slap her a few more times.

  "Huh, coming-of-age ceremony? Are you talking about the kind where Im given away as a gift?" She sneered, curling her lips in pain. When Zheng Hu Li hit her just now, she accidentally bit her lip and it hurt terribly when she curled it up.

  "Your father has raised you for over a decade, and letting you have a meal is a big deal?" Zheng Guoyus anger erupted, his face flushing bright red.
