CHAPTER 365: CHAPTER 365

"Turns out you two know each other!" Ling Yinan, seeing Jiang Moxi and Suchen’s familiar interaction, couldn’t help but feel a bit surprised.

"We’ve known each other for a long time." Suchen hurried to grab Jiang Moxi’s hand, pushing Ling Yinan away from Jiang Moxi’s side and standing close to her.

"Yinan, do you remember I once told you about the girl I met who I felt an instant connection with, the girl I liked so much that I even crazily thought about not getting a paternity test and just accepting her as my daughter?"

Suchen’s words quickly made Ling Yinan think of something, and she asked in surprise, "Teacher Jiang is that girl you were talking about before?"

Ling Yinan still remembered that when that girl had found her biological parents and left him, he was devastated and moped around all day.

In the end, Lai De could only send Suchen back to the country, allowing Ling Yinan to accompany Suchen for a while.

It was during that time that Ling Yinan realized how much Suchen liked that girl.

However, at that time, Ling Yinan really couldn’t understand why Suchen would like a girl who wasn’t her own child to such an extent.

It wasn’t until she met Jiang Moxi that she truly realized that there are people who, even if they aren’t related by blood, their demeanor and character can make you admire them and want to get close to them.

"Yes, when I met her, she didn’t have the last name Jiang." Suchen held Jiang Moxi’s hand tightly, as if silently celebrating this long-awaited reunion.

Jiang Moxi winked at Suchen.

She temporarily didn’t want too many people to know about her once having the surname Feng.

Suchen understood Jiang Moxi, a look from her was enough to know that Jiang Moxi did not want to mention her past.

So, Suchen changed the subject, as if to talk about Cang Ming: "Is this your boyfriend?"

She liked and cared about Jiang Moxi a lot, so she also wanted to understand Jiang Moxi’s love life.

Honestly, when Suchen first saw Jiang Moxi appearing together with Cang Ming, she thought they were quite a match in appearance.

Only wondering, what Cang Ming’s personality was like inside, whether he was worthy of Jiang Moxi.

But before Jiang Moxi could respond, Cang Ming hurriedly answered.

"You’re mistaken, how could I possibly..." date such a violent woman? It’d simply be masochistic, a dead-end!

Cang Ming wanted to say that, but halfway through, he was stopped by Jiang Moxi’s cold glare.

The complaint turned into: "How could I possibly be good enough for her, haha..."

Suchen listened and still thought it was quite reasonable.

Right, actually, she didn’t really support Jiang Moxi finding someone who flaunts themselves on the big screen.

Learning that they weren’t boyfriend and girlfriend, Suchen clearly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then, Ling Hua darted out from beside Cang Ming.

"Aunt Suchen."

"Huahua? Why are you only coming now? Auntie was just asking your mom why you didn’t join the fun tonight," Suchen said with a smile upon seeing Ling Hua.

Ling Hua pouted, "Aunt Suchen, I’ve been right beside Sister Moxi and Brother Cang Ming since earlier."

She had even called out to Suchen several times just a moment ago, but unfortunately, Suchen hadn’t noticed her.

Suchen then realized that Ling Hua had been with Jiang Moxi and Cang Ming all along.

It’s not that Ling Hua isn’t beautiful or eye-catching, it’s just that Jiang Moxi and Cang Ming standing together, both of their attractiveness is off the charts. Their dazzling presence completely overshadows the light of little pearl Ling Hua, making it difficult to notice her existence.

Aunt Suchen hurriedly comforted Ling Hua, promising never to neglect this sweetheart again.

Only then was Ling Hua completely satisfied, and she returned to Ling Yinan’s side as the group continued their conversation. The restless Jiang Family members all gathered around.

"Lady Suchen, Lady Ling. And Mr. Cang Ming, hello!" Jiang Tairan first respectfully greeted the three, and then turned his gaze to Jiang Moxi.

Jiang Tairan was waiting for Jiang Moxi to take the initiative to greet him.

Seeing how Jiang Moxi is currently favored by Aunt Suchen and Lady Ling, if she were to proactively call him Grandfather Jiang Tairan, Aunt Suchen and Lady Ling would surely treat him, and even the entire Jiang Family, differently.

Unfortunately, it seemed Jiang Moxi failed to grasp his hint, and after briefly meeting his gaze with a serene look, her eyes shifted away.

That feeling, it was as if she, Jiang Moxi, and he, Jiang Tairan, were strangers.

Jiang Tairan silently berated Jiang Moxi countless times in his heart and even blamed her for her shortsightedness, focusing only on personal grudges and failing to see the bigger picture.

But despite feeling upset, Jiang Tairan could only pretend to be kind and benevolent, taking the initiative to greet Jiang Moxi, since she was currently influential.

"Moxi, you see Grandpa and don’t even greet him."

Frankly speaking, with Jiang Tairan bringing his family members and deliberately approaching again to greet during the conversation between Aunt Suchen and Ling Yinan, interrupting their chat, was quite rude.

Aunt Suchen and Ling Yinan were puzzled as to why Jiang Tairan suddenly came forward to greet them again, disrupting their chat, when they saw him initiating a conversation with Jiang Moxi.

But Jiang Moxi only once again placed her cold gaze on Jiang Tairan without responding, her clear eyes revealing an inherent chill.

This left Aunt Suchen and Ling Yinan even more puzzled.

Because in their memory, Jiang Moxi had always been a humble and polite child, never showing such hostility toward anyone, especially not towards an elder nearing his grave.

However, as Jiang Moxi did not respond, anger gradually rose within Jiang Tairan.

If it weren’t for wanting to use her relationship with Aunt Suchen and Lady Ling, Jiang Tairan would definitely have scolded this disrespectful person loudly.

But considering that Jiang Moxi might bring benefits to the Jiang Family that evening, Jiang Tairan could only suppress all his dissatisfaction and try to speak in a nicer tone.

"Moxi, even if you don’t acknowledge me as your grandfather, you should at least greet your parents."

Under Jiang Tairan’s deliberate guidance, Jiang Guosheng and Yu Man were pushed to the forefront of the Jiang Family members.

Just as before, Jiang Moxi’s gaze towards Jiang Guosheng and Yu Man was as cold as the snow atop a mountain.

Yet Yu Man and Jiang Guosheng were still immersed in the shock that their daughter, who grew up in a remote and poor area, actually knew such important figures as Lady Ling and Aunt Suchen and was deeply loved by them.

Only when pushed forward did Yu Man barely mutter, "Moxi, what are you doing here?"

Jiang Guosheng, a seasoned businessman known for his superficial friendliness, quickly began talking warmly with Jiang Moxi.

"Moxi, really. Why didn’t you tell daddy earlier that you know Lady Suchen and Lady Ling?"

Jiang Weiwei did not come forward but watched from a distance as the Jiang Family members quickly tried to ingratiate themselves with Jiang Moxi, feeling a nauseating taste of blood in her mouth.

She hated the Jiang Family’s ruthless change of face, and even more, she hated how Jiang Moxi had effortlessly ruined everything she had painstakingly built!

On the side, Jiang Guosheng swiftly steered the conversation, with Jiang Tairan and his other two sons silently applauding internally.

But unexpectedly, they didn’t wait for Jiang Moxi’s response; instead, Aunt Suchen, utterly confused, spoke first.

"Grandfather? Father? But didn’t you just say that Jiang Moxi was merely a distant relative of yours?"
