”Your father and sister are going to a banquet for an adult, so they have to dress like this. ”You don't need to go, stay at home and watch TV with me!” Mother Wu lovingly patted Jiang Xiaowei's head.

”Great!” I don't like to go to Lord's Banquet! None of them have children to play with! ” Jiang Xiaowei said without much interest.

”That's right! Let's go! ”I'll take you to wash your hands, then go downstairs to have some snacks. I've made your favorite lotus seed cake!” Mother Wu took Jiang Xiaowei's hand and led him downstairs.

Not long later, Jiang Ping appeared in front of Xia Xinxin, wearing a dark blue suit. He stretched his neck uncomfortably and said with a bedraggled smile, ”I've never worn a suit my whole life. Now that I've put it on, I feel like I can't walk anymore!”

”This is specially made for you. It suits you very well!” Xia Xinxin walked up and helped him pull his clothes, smiling, ”I'm not used to it. I definitely won't get used to it in the beginning, but I'll get used to it after a while. It was best to get used to it now, as he would have more chances to wear a suit in the future. For example, Jiang Ying's wedding, my wedding, and Wei's wedding, we might need you to wear a suit to attend! ”

Upon hearing this, a trace of melancholy flashed across Jiang Ping's face. ”A-Ying might not want me to attend!”

Xia Xinxin realized she said the wrong thing, and felt extremely embarrassed.

Fortunately, Jiang Ping said, ”It's getting late, let's go! Little Gao is already waiting for us below! ”

”Yes, yes.” ”Let's go!” With a sigh of relief, Xia Xinxin grabbed her purse and walked downstairs with Jiang Ping by the arm.

After bidding farewell to Little Wei, Jiang Ping and Xia Xinxin got into the car together.

Along the way, neither of them spoke.

This was because the two of them were not at all calm.

The thought of returning to her parents' side excited Xia Xinxin.

Jiang Ping couldn't help but feel sad at the thought of destroying his daughter's dream.

He did not know what would happen next, but once he appeared, Jiang Ying would definitely hate him for the rest of her life.

However, the two evils competed against each other, and he couldn't sit by idly and watch Jiang Ying make mistakes one step at a time.

If she stopped now, she still had a chance for happiness.

As long as he truly loved that outstanding man, he believed that even if her true identity was revealed, they would still be happy together.

Without deceit, feelings were even purer and more tenacious. For a long time.

An hour later, the car slowly stopped in front of the Golden Cauldron Hotel.

In front of the hotel, there were all kinds of famous cars. There was a long red carpet in the middle of the entrance.

The two sides of the carpet were filled with bright and beautiful flower baskets. On the flower baskets, without exception, hung red ribbons with golden words printed on them. Most of the words were 'Mr. Zhu Xia's life is longer than Nanshan'. Something like that.

The celebrities of L city were dressed extravagantly and walked gracefully on the red carpet. Each of them was elegant and graceful.

Looking at the lively scene, Jiang Ping uneasily asked, ”When I saw them enter, they all held a gold-plated card in their hands. That should be an invitation card, right? How do we get in? ”

Xia Xinxin smiled, ”With my identity, do we even need to have an invitation card?”

When Jiang Ping heard this, he was suddenly enlightened. However, his heart was growing increasingly nervous.

Seeing his nervous expression, Xia Xinxin thought for a moment and softly said, ”If you don't want to go, you don't have to force yourself.” Actually, I can do it myself! ”

Jiang Ping firmly shook his head. ”No!” I'll go with you! ”

Since things had come to this, there was no reason to turn back.

What's more, if he went, he could control the scene a little. If he did not go, he really did not know what would happen inside.

”Then, let's get off!” Xia Xinxin pushed open the car door.

Jiang Ping took a deep breath and gathered up his courage to push open the door.

With a smile, Xia Xinxin took Jiang Ping's arm and said softly, ”Follow me!”

Jiang Ping nodded uneasily.

Along the way, Xia Xinxin met quite a few acquaintances. She politely smiled at them, and sure enough, the journey was unimpeded. She casually led Jiang Ping into the hotel lobby.

The great hall had long ago been assaulted by the fragrant wind, and streams of people flowed about as the beautiful yet soothing music quietly flowed about.

The well-dressed and eye-catching noble ladies gathered in groups of twos and threes. Sometimes they would clink cups with cups, sometimes they would whisper with each other, enjoying the atmosphere.

Meanwhile, the well-dressed men were gathered together and talking loudly. Their every move and gesture was filled with strength as they showed off their stance of reprimanding others.

They were proud sons of men and had impressive achievements in various fields. Thus, they naturally had a domineering air to them.

Jiang Ping had never seen such a scene before. For a moment, he felt extremely uneasy. He was so nervous that he broke out in a cold sweat. His shirt was tightly pressed against his back, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
