The Time-Limited Love and Marriage
Chapter 465
CHAPTER 465: CHAPTER 465
Wu Zhang didn’t even have the chance to speak to Miss Xi face to face, how could he possibly have her photo?
So Wu Zhang said, "I don’t have any. Mr. Feng Yu is very protective of Miss Xi, and rarely allows her photos to be circulated outside. If you don’t believe me, go search online, you won’t find Miss Xi’s photos."
"Is that so?" Jiang Guosheng still frowned, looking somewhat uneasy.
Seeing the two constantly harping on the topic of Miss Xi, Wu Zhang feared they might continue to press him, and today’s business would not be concluded.
So he said, "If you aren’t free for a meal, then I’ll head back first. I have many people to discuss business with these days. After I finish this event, I need to rush to the next one."
This statement successfully redirected Jiang Tairan and Jiang Guosheng’s thoughts, with Jiang Tairan hurriedly saying, "Of course we’ll eat. Man is iron, and food is steel, and going without a meal leaves one terribly hungry. Let’s not talk about these trivial matters, let’s eat first."
Jiang Tairan didn’t want to let go of the big fish, Wu Zhang, and also didn’t want to miss the opportunity to use Wu Zhang to break into the upper circles.
As for whether Jiang Moxi was Miss Xi...
Jiang Tairan thought it over carefully later and felt that it was just needless worrying.
When they brought Jiang Moxi home back then, her appearance was dirtied and even her clothes were washed to the point of fading.
That appearance didn’t look at all like a child raised in pampering, but more like one who had escaped from a slum.
So, Jiang Moxi couldn’t possibly be Miss Xi.
It’s just that they were too eager to make a foothold in Emperor City recently, the pressure was too great, that’s why they kept thinking of Jiang Moxi, and even feel like every person they see on the street could be Jiang Moxi.
Once Jiang Tairan made a statement, Jiang Guosheng also led Wu Zhang towards the restaurant...

On the other side, Jiang Moxi escorted Yu Dingding and Yu Tongshu to the apartment they were currently renting and gave some instructions on the attention to detail for attending the award ceremony tonight.
"Moxi, don’t worry! I’m not a three-year-old child, I understand what I should," Yu Dingding said, her emotions still okay, which allowed Jiang Moxi to leave.
In normal circumstances, Jiang Moxi never attended even the grandest ceremonies of Yunshang.
But this time, as Yu Dingding was attending, Jiang Moxi still worried about those previous online issues causing trouble for Yu Dingding, so she also decided to participate last minute and notified Xie Ling to prepare an invitation for her.
Upon receiving the message, Xie Ling informed the other staff members.
Thus, nearly everyone became restless, starting to gossip about Designer X.
"Designer X must be an older woman; only then could she understand women’s needs so precisely, mastering every design just right."
"But I think Designer X might be a handsome man, perhaps even a playboy, to grasp the structure and preferences of women so thoroughly."
Someone else said, "I think Designer X must be extremely ugly; otherwise, why wouldn’t he show his face for so many years!"
As staff members were discussing fervently, some approached Director Xie Ling.
When Xie Ling was asked if she had ever seen Designer X, she said, "Of course, I have!"
"So, is she good-looking? Is it a man or a woman?"
In response to the employees’ probing, Xie Ling smiled mysteriously, "No matter the gender, they are a standout presence among the crowd."
This description only increased all the employees’ anticipation for tonight’s award ceremony.
Meanwhile, at the new residence of the Jiang Family in Emperor City—
Jiang Weiwei had just woken up, but lay listlessly in bed, unmoving.
Indeed, as soon as she thought that Jiang Moxi was the esteemed Miss Xi of Emperor City, she, Jiang Weiwei, felt she might never surpass Jiang Moxi in her entire life, instantly filling her with a sense of hopelessness, not wanting to move at all.
Especially now, thinking that the Jiang Family in Emperor City might find out at any moment through some means that Jiang Moxi was the distinguished Miss Xi, and then abandon her to seek out Jiang Moxi.
With the matter of Suchen and Zhuang Wenjin...
Jiang Weiwei felt like her life was almost over.
But Jiang Weiwei just lay in bed motionless, and when Yu Man couldn’t wait for her to come downstairs for dinner, she simply came up to find her.
"Weiwei, why have you been listless all day? You’ve slept almost a day now, why aren’t you getting up? Are you feeling unwell?"
Yu Man brought up the food, and seeing Jiang Weiwei’s poor complexion, tenderly played with her hair.
Jiang Weiwei thought for a moment, then whispered into Yu Man’s arms, "Mom, can we stop associating with Wu Shirong?"
After she was kicked out by the Wu Family, Wu Shirong hadn’t made a single call or sent a message to her.
You know, when they were on good terms before, even if Wu Shirong didn’t call her, he would frequently send her messages.
Jiang Weiwei, being a smart person, naturally understood what Wu Shirong’s actions meant.
In fact, Wu Shirong wasn’t the type that Jiang Weiwei liked, and she didn’t feel much about splitting up with him.
But she worried that once their breakup became known to the Jiang Family and they pressed her for the reason, Jiang Weiwei would definitely be in trouble.
So Jiang Weiwei thought, rather than foolishly waiting to be discovered, it was better to take the initiative and say she wanted to break up with Wu Shirong.
That way, at least others won’t aggressively ask about the real reason they broke up.
Yu Man didn’t expect Jiang Weiwei to suddenly bring this up, and immediately frowned and asked, "Why do you suddenly want to break up?"
"I feel that our personalities really don’t match, and he is... too much in that regard," said Jiang Weiwei.
Hearing Jiang Weiwei’s words, Yu Man instantly thought of how Jiang Weiwei had returned today, looking completely drained.
She immediately wondered if Wu Shirong had a particularly high demand in that regard.
He had taken Jiang Weiwei out overnight several times, yet still treated her like a naive, tormenting her to the point of nearly dying.
But however much she speculated, Yu Man knew that they had just arrived in Emperor City and really needed the support of the Wu Family.
So she said, "Actually, that aspect of men needs gradual training too, and some women who hope their husbands to be more vigorous in that area, can only be disappointed. You should feel lucky to meet someone like that."
Yu Man also said, "As for the personality aspect, it really needs to be gradually adjusted. When I was with your father initially, we also had constant friction. But now look at us, we rarely even get irritated."
Yu Man persuasively spoke in a gentle voice, but to Jiang Weiwei, these words just seemed like Yu Man trying to push her into a fiery pit for the sake of fame and power, disregarding her wishes.
But for now, Jiang Weiwei dared not reply harshly to Yu Man.
Because if her breakup with Wu Shirong was exposed, she could only rely on the slight familial affection Yu Man had for her to continue staying with the Jiang Family.
So Jiang Weiwei just said, "Mom, I’ll listen to you."
"Good child, come eat something. I heard that tonight the Yunshang headquarters in Emperor City is holding a designer awards ceremony, and designer X will also release a new work. Why don’t you invite Shirong to go and have a look? His family has some influence in Emperor City, they should be able to get an invitation."
Although both mother and daughter were turned away by Yunshang and detested the brand,
To establish roots in Emperor City, they still needed to interact with this brand.
After living there for a while, they realized, most of the high society ladies here almost always wore various private custom pieces from Yunshang.
To fully integrate into this circle, they needed to reconcile with Yunshang as soon as possible.
"Okay, let me finish eating and then I’ll talk to Shirong," Jiang Weiwei said smiling as she sent Yu Man out of the room.
But as soon as Yu Man left, the smile on Jiang Weiwei’s face disappeared.
She had no appetite to eat, so she just took out her phone and scrolled through the news about tonight’s Yunshang awards ceremony.
But Jiang Weiwei did not expect, in the designer entries, to see such a piece...
