Chapter 123 - Unnamed Woman With No Status (2/2)

Shi Zheng's expression turned slightly cold. She gave a cold snort and glanced sideways at Jiang Ruolan. ”Miss Jiang is truly interesting.”

”What do you mean?” Jiang Ruolan tilted her head innocently.

When Jiang Ruolan really wanted to anger someone, she had absolute talent. Xian Zihao shot her a glance, and his eyes had a hint of interest.

”It's nothing. I just realized that some people don't really know how to appreciate favors. They really think of themselves as a root.” Shi Zheng snorted coldly before turning around and leaving with a cold expression. She gave Xian Zihao, who had obviously turned a blind eye to her, a look of unwillingness.

Jiang Ruolan didn't say a word as she looked at Shi Zheng's arrogant figure. Her eyes didn't have a victorious expression. She only sized up the woman's back and guessed that Shi Zheng wouldn't let the matter rest.

”That person is gone. Why are you still looking at her?”

Xian Zihao's voice suddenly sounded behind her. Jiang Ruolan suddenly turned and looked at him. ”You don't want to part with her?”

Xian Zihao's eyes twitched. ”Jiang Ruolan, are you jealous?”

Jiang Ruolan snorted lazily. ”I'm trying to protect my own dignity.”

Xian Zihao suddenly raised his eyebrows and smiled at her.

Jiang Ruolan stepped out of Xian Zihao's arms and looked at the trace of unfathomability in his eyes. She curled her lips, ”Even if I don't enter the drama too deeply, I should still maintain my dignity, right? Since you've already introduced me as your wife, I couldn't refrain myself from warning someone who so blatantly wanting to lay their hands on my husband just like a stupid wife, am I?”

Xian Zihao smiled faintly. ”What if I get into the show first?”

With that, he turned around with a smile and shook hands with a middle-aged man in luxurious clothing behind him.

Jiang Ruolan's heart thumped in her chest as she looked at Xian Zihao's back in astonishment.

Half an hour later, the banquet began. Although the charity banquet was hosted by the political and business circles, there was also a bit of casualness in the seriousness of the atmosphere. The political leaders and the business elites were separated into three groups, with a large dance floor in the middle.

Xian Zihao was still chatting with the man in the fancy suit. Jiang Ruolan was sitting at a table beside him with a bored expression.

She ate something from time to time, but her eyes would occasionally glance in Xian Zihao's direction.

Why did Xian Zihao say something so vague?

What exactly did he mean?

Jiang Ruolan thought of a possibility, but she was afraid that she was overthinking it. Maybe Xian Zihoa was just joking with her but… His words… It didn't seem like he was joking. For the past half hour, Jiang Ruolan had been thinking about what Xian Zihao had meant.

When the banquet was full of noise and excitement, some people suddenly came in from the front door and caught everyone's attention.

Jiang Ruolan turned her head to look, but when she saw Jiang Guanyu enter the hall, her face froze.

In the last two years, Jiang Guanyu became the first person in the financial circle in G City. He was considered one of the top figures in the domestic business. Wherever he went, he was always very grand.

When Jiang Guanyu walked in, Xian Zihao immediately glanced at Jiang Ruolan, who was sitting on the side.
