Imperial Commander: His Pretty Wife Is Spoiled Rotten (Book 1)

686-690

The meaning of her words was very obvious. She had no invitation, so if she wanted to go to the banquet, she must be a waitress or choose not to go at all.

With her resentful eyes firmly glued to the invitation card in Yun Xi's hand, Yun Chuhan gritted her teeth and glared at Yun Xi. Her fingernails were digging into her flesh with force.

Yun Xi looked at the name printed on the invitation and suddenly began to look forward to this year's Weiya Banquet.

In her last life, it wasn't that she had never participated in any big events. There had been things that were worth remembering.

As the New Year approached, Jingdu was taken over by a strong celebratory atmosphere. Paper-cut and folded lanterns were hung on trees on both sides of the streets.

With red lanterns hanging high in all the treetops, a lively New Year's vibe permeated the city.

As the New Year approached, the most popular social event was the annual banquet held by the rich and famous in Jingdu.

Especially after this year's power to host the event had expanded from the three prominent families to include the four distinguished families, much attention was being paid to it.

Yun Xi had received a call from Chen Yichen, inviting her to be his companion, which had surprised her a bit.

"Eldest Heir, I'm flattered, but I'm afraid I can't be your companion at the banquet."

If she dared to go to the banquet with Chen Yichen and the tyrant Mu Feichi did something crazy, she would become a sinner in the eyes of the three families.

"I know that Jiang Henglin has invited your younger sister simply as a way to diss you. I just don't want you to be left out."

"However, if I went with you, it would be the equivalent of the Chen family dissing the Jiang family, so it would make both families look bad. Have you considered this, Eldest Heir?"

"I realize that, but I don't care. Yun Xi, if this marriage is used as a bargaining chip to hurt you, I can ask your mother to come forward and help you terminate the marriage contract. After all, it was decided by the elders and decided when you were young. You will have your circle of friends in the future, so carrying such a marriage contract would always be unfair to you."

No matter where she went in the future, she would be known as Jiang Henglin's fiancee. Even if Jiang Henglin is womanized, it is she who will have to endure the rumours and gossip.

This isn't fair to her. A girl with a kind heart like her deserves the best life.

"Eldest Heir, Jiang Henglin indeed wants to diss me, but he is also humiliating the Jiang family."

"But you will always be innocently implicated."

"I'm okay, I'm used to it. The cancellation of the marriage contract requires the consent of both parents, so let's talk about it at some later time."

Even if she was willing to, Yun Yuanfeng definitely wouldn't be willing to. After all, claiming ties with a family like the Jiang family would be beneficial to him in the election. He wouldn't be so stupid to give up such a good opportunity.

She didn't want to marry Jiang Henglin, and nobody could help her. However, there was no way he could force her to do things she didn't want to do.

...

The night of the banquet was dazzling, and music was playing all over the bustling city. The bright lights started in the central business district.

Yun Chuhan went to the winery to help early in the morning, and Yun Xi saw Liang Xiuqin taking Yun Ziling out to do her hair and makeup early in the morning.
