Chapter 22: What Kind of Magic Did She Use?

Hearing this, Mrs. Yu’s expression softened. She had watched Qi Nuan grow up and knew her temperament. Besides being spoiled and willful, she didn’t have any bad habits.

“Be careful with your words in the future, don’t talk nonsense!”

Then she turned to Sang Tian, “You should also pay attention, everything can be solved. Girls shouldn’t fight. It’s not good for anyone if you hurt yourself or others.”

Sang Tian nodded obediently.

Mrs. Yu was fair. At their first meeting, she was willing to listen to Sang Tian’s explanation, she didn’t just blame her, and she didn’t show any favoritism because Qi Nuan was her niece.

It was hard not to like such an elder.

The Yu family was truly a good family.

Qi Nuan, after being scolded by Mrs. Yu, became well-behaved and helped with the work.

Mrs. Yu’s birthday banquet was held at a hot spring resort in Jin City. The Yu family was low-key, they didn’t invite many people, only close relatives and friends.

Sang Tian and Qi Nuan stood on either side of Mrs. Yu, helping to greet the guests.

Old Madam Bo came over, supported by Bo Zhengrong. After exchanging pleasantries with Mrs. Yu, she looked at Sang Tian, who was greeting the guests, “Tian Tian hasn’t caused you any trouble, has she?”

Mrs. Yu also looked at Sang Tian. The girl had a smile on her face, she had been standing for a whole day and hadn’t said she was tired. She just occasionally leaned to one side, shifting her weight to one leg, lifting one leg to relieve the pressure, and then switching to the other leg.

Mrs. Yu’s face was full of tenderness, “Tian Tian is a good and sensible girl, I like her very much.”

Old Madam Bo’s lips curved into a smile, she nodded, she was also very satisfied, “That’s good. Tian Tian has been spoiled by her Fifth Uncle, I was afraid she would cause you some trouble!”

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, then Mrs. Yu led Old Madam Bo to their seats.

As soon as they sat down, there was a commotion at the entrance.

Sang Tian led a guest to their seat, she heard the commotion and looked up.

She saw Jiang Wantang, dressed in a champagne-colored evening gown, walking in with Bo Si on her arm, under everyone’s gaze.

Jiang Wantang’s hair was tied up, revealing her beautiful shoulders and neck, she matched perfectly with the man in a suit and tie beside her.

The bright light of the crystal chandelier shone on the man’s exquisite face, making his already handsome features even more perfect.

The surrounding eyes were filled with envy.

“Miss Jiang is truly blessed, she can marry Fifth Master Bo. If only I could be noticed by Fifth Master Bo, I would wake up laughing in my dreams.”

“You can only dream about it. The Bo family doesn’t lack money, they want fame. Jiang Wantang is a famous talented woman in Jin City, her father is a famous contemporary painter, and her family is in the education industry, they are a true scholarly family. Only Jiang Wantang is worthy of Fifth Master Bo!”

“I heard that Old Madam Bo loves Jiang Wantang very much! Even more than her own daughter!”

“Then she’ll definitely have a harmonious family life after she marries in! She won’t even have to worry about the mother-in-law relationship!”

“Tian Tian, are you tired?” Mrs. Yu settled Old Madam Bo, then turned around and saw Sang Tian standing there, staring blankly at something, her face was downcast, she looked exhausted.

Sang Tian came back to her senses from her thoughts, she immediately put on a smile, “No, I was just thinking about what time it is and which guests haven’t arrived yet.”

“They’re basically all here, it’s about to start. Since you’re fine, come with me to toast later.”

“That’s not a good idea, is it?”

In Jin City, the host, to express their gratitude to the guests for attending the banquet, would toast each guest with wine and drinks, as a kind of greeting.

Like a family of Mrs. Yu’s status, this kind of thing is usually done by the younger generation of the family. But Yu Feng wasn’t here, and there was no one else in the family, Mrs. Yu had to go through the motions.

Bringing Sang Tian along meant that she was treating Sang Tian as family.

“What’s wrong with that?” Mrs. Yu didn’t think anything of it.

“But… I’m not…”

“Do you want me, at my age, to hold a wine glass in one hand and a bottle of wine in the other, and toast all the guests in the hall by myself?” Mrs. Yu patted her waist, frowning, “Oh, my waist!”

Sang Tian immediately supported Mrs. Yu, worried, “Aunt, are you okay?”

“I’m fine, I don’t know if I’ll be okay after toasting.”

Sang Tian pursed her lips, she couldn’t bear to see her like this, so she agreed.

Mrs. Yu’s waist didn’t hurt anymore, and her hand didn’t ache either. She beckoned to the waiter not far away, asking her to bring wine and glasses, “You’ll be holding the wine and glasses behind me later, helping me pour wine for the guests.”

“Mm.”

Mrs. Yu led her to toast table by table. Although she didn’t introduce her explicitly, everyone saw Mrs. Yu’s attitude and understood. They were polite to Sang Tian, and they didn’t force her to finish her wine, just a sip was enough. The atmosphere was very harmonious.

When they reached Old Madam Bo and Bo Zhengrong’s table, Old Madam Bo and Bo Zhengrong both took on the posture of elders, they told her to help Mrs. Yu do a good job, not to make any mistakes, and they gave her a lesson.

Sang Tian listened obediently, she didn’t argue.

When they reached Bo Si’s table, Sang Tian instinctively stopped.

Jiang Wantang was picking out the scallions one by one from Bo Si’s soup bowl. After she finished, she used a spoon to skim off the oil on top of the soup and handed it to Bo Si, her eyes were gentle, “A Si, the soup is ready, try it?”

Bo Si was chatting with his friends, his eyes were dull, the person said something, Bo Si’s brows furrowed slightly. When he heard Jiang Wantang’s voice, his expression instantly softened. He took the soup she handed to his lips, took a sip, met Jiang Wantang’s gaze, his eyes were doting, “Thank you.”

His voice was gentle.

The people at the table started to make a fuss, they were all Bo Si’s friends.

“Sister-in-law is so virtuous.”

“Fifth Master is blessed to have married Miss Jiang.”

“Si Ge, Sister-in-law, have you set a wedding date? I’m waiting to eat wedding candy!”

Jiang Wantang smiled, she lowered her head shyly and helped Bo Si pick out the fish bones.

“Soon.” Bo Si answered casually, his gaze fell on Jiang Wantang’s slender fingers picking out the fish bones, he said softly, “You don’t need to pick them for me, eat them yourself.”

Jiang Wantang pushed the plate towards Bo Si, “I’ve already picked them for you. It’s very fresh, try it.”

Bo Si didn’t like to eat fish, Sang Tian had never seen him eat it. Every time she gave him a piece, he would pick out the bones and give it back to her to eat.

It seemed that Jiang Wantang didn’t know much about Bo Si’s eating habits!

After all, they had only been together for a little over a month.

This made Sang Tian feel a little relieved.

But the next second, Bo Si put the fish that Jiang Wantang had handed him into his mouth, “Not bad.”

“If you like it, eat more.”

Jiang Wantang’s lips curved into a wider smile, she lowered her head and continued to pick out the fish bones.

“Si Ge, don’t you eat fish?”

“Si Ge doesn’t eat fish, but don’t you see who picked out the fish bones? How could Si Ge bear to disappoint Miss Jiang’s hard work? He has to eat it even if he doesn’t want to! Haha!”

“Miss Jiang is the first person to make Fifth Master change for her! Miss Jiang, what kind of magic did you use?”

Jiang Wantang’s face flushed red, she lowered her head, the curve of her lips never disappeared, “How could I?”

The wine was finished, Mrs. Yu took another bottle of wine. Seeing Sang Tian hesitate, she asked in confusion, “Tian Tian, what’s wrong?”
