CHAPTER 495: CHAPTER 495

Xie Ling shook her head helplessly upon seeing the pink bubbles emanating between Fu Youhan and Jiang Moxi, mumbling to herself.

"I was thinking of going out for a nice meal tonight to celebrate. Little did I know, I’d be force-fed a bellyful of dog food without warning. I’m so stuffed."

Jiang Moxi couldn’t help but glare at Xie Ling, who went on mumbling: "I once walked the moon to find you, for you were in the mountains. All I thought of was this line..."

As Fu Youhan stepped forward, the corners of Jiang Moxi’s lips curved into a slight smile.

After a verbal sparring, seeing the person she liked was inexplicably pleasing to the heart.

"Xixi, congratulations on the successful press conference," Fu Youhan handed the flowers to Jiang Moxi.

Jiang Moxi accepted the bouquet, her smile becoming even more pronounced: "Thank you. Didn’t you say you wouldn’t be here until tonight?"

"I just got off the plane and found out my wife is still a famous designer. Concerned about losing my status at home, I hurried over."

Jiang Moxi bantered back: "The home is gone, what family status is there to speak of?"

He stepped forward and embraced her: "Wherever you are, that’s my home."

It was only a brief separation, yet he felt the deep longing eating away at him.

Fu Youhan realized that in this life, he truly could not be without this woman.

Jiang Moxi was no longer angry and had forgiven Fu Youhan, but during their short separation, her restless inability to see him and various worries gradually made her realize that she couldn’t let go of Fu Youhan after all.

Though uncertain of what the future holds, since she couldn’t let go, might as well keep holding on.

In front of the media and the ladies of high society from Emperor City, Fu Youhan took the initiative to embrace her, and she did not push him away.

Thus, this scene shook everyone present.

"Isn’t that Miss Xi’s partner? He’s so handsome!"

"Which family’s young master is this? How come I’ve never seen him before?"

"He must not be from Emperor City. But his looks and demeanor are no less than those young masters in our circle."

"Why do I feel like this gentleman looks a lot like the head of the Fu Family?"

In the midst of everyone’s discussion, Fu Youhan, with his arm around Jiang Moxi, left escorted by a group of bodyguards.

Xie Ling watched the backs of Jiang Moxi and Driver Fu as they departed together, and couldn’t help exclaiming again: "Tsk tsk, such a well-matched and loving couple, not having four or five kids would be a disservice to all the dog food I was force-fed today."

No sooner had she finished her sigh, Xie Ling’s phone rang again.

After picking up, she realized it was Yu Man calling.

"Director Xie, could you please tell my daughter Moxi to come home for dinner tonight? Our Jiang Family hasn’t had a real reunion since we arrived in Emperor City!"

Xie Ling didn’t want to be too blunt, but with Yu Man being so persistent, she felt she needed to make things clearer, as they didn’t seem to understand human speech.

"Ms. Yu Man, you might be mistaken. Your daughter is Jiang Weiwei, the chief designer of Weifeng Studio, not our Yunshang. If you want her to come home for dinner, go call out at Weifeng Studio."

"Weiwei is my daughter, and so is Moxi. We..."

Yu Man still wanted to defend herself.

But before she could finish her words, Xie Ling told her, "During this period, Jiang Weiwei has profited tens of millions by using the works of Designer X, and has been spreading rumors and smearing Designer X! Our Yunshang has already filed a lawsuit over this matter."

"So if you have time to tangle with Moxi here, you’d better hurry to help your precious daughter get things in order, to avoid your whole family losing everything down to your underpants."

After saying that, Xie Ling directly hung up the phone and promptly blacklisted Yu Man’s number, not giving her any chance to harass her again.

Yu Man got hung up on, and her face looked extremely unpleasant.

But Jiang Tairan still asked with concern, "How did it go, what did Moxi say?"

Jiang Tairan wouldn’t have asked, but as soon as he did, Yu Man was filled with rage and tossed her phone aside.

"I can only get in touch with her insignificant flunkies; she just won’t give me a chance for a direct conversation, what can I do!"

Jiang Tairan scolded, "What can you do? You could apologize to Moxi! There is no overnight hatred between a child and her parents. Just adjust your attitude properly and apologize to Moxi, and I do not believe that she will continue to disregard you."

"Father, I know you think Moxi is Designer X, that she has become successful and can help us revitalize the Jiang Family. But you can’t just push all the blame onto me and my husband."

Yu Man, rejected by Jiang Moxi and pressured by Jiang Tairan, was pushed to the brink of explosive anger and blurted out what was on her mind.

"Moxi wasn’t raised by us, so ultimately she’s not that close to us. That’s why she’s unwilling to tell us she is Designer X, and doesn’t really treat us like family. Rather than pinning our hopes on her, we might as well..."

Jiang Tairan cut off Yu Man’s words, "Might as well what? Continue blindly giving all the resources to Jiang Weiwei? Let her keep plagiarizing and lying, achieving nothing and squandering all the Jiang Family resources?"

Yu Man was so rebuked that she was at a loss for face.

She wanted to argue with Jiang Tairan, but then realized that what Jiang Tairan said was all true; she had no ground to argue.

More importantly, just as she wanted to say something, she saw Jiang Weiwei, pale as death, standing at the doorway.

Clearly, Jiang Weiwei had heard all the words Jiang Tairan had used to denounce her lack of accomplishments.

Jiang Weiwei found such words unbearable, and ran out crying.

In the end, Yu Man was still worried about Jiang Weiwei’s wellbeing and didn’t continue the argument with Jiang Tairan, but quickly chased after her, "Weiwei!"

Zhao Guangmei saw the mother and daughter run out one after the other and couldn’t help but sigh softly.

"Sometimes I really don’t understand, what has happened to my sister-in-law’s eyesight! Treats her own outstanding daughter like trash, but treats her deceitful foster daughter like treasure."

Jiang Tairan said, "Otherwise why would I have opposed Guosheng from marrying her before? With a low education and coming from a humble background, naturally her vision is short-sighted."

Speaking of this, Jiang Tairan added, "Guangmei, find someone to check on where Moxi is now. Let’s go there and bring her home directly. Otherwise, by the time that shortsighted person comes to her senses, who knows how long we would have to wait."

Zhao Guangmei was delighted inside.

It seemed that Jiang Weiwei’s recent blunder was quite advantageous to their second branch of the family.

You see, when Jiang Weiwei was in her glory days, Jiang Tairan would always bring the couple from the main branch along everywhere.

Now that Jiang Weiwei was in trouble, it was the turn of their second branch to benefit, so much so that Jiang Tairan even planned to bring her, Zhao Guangmei, along to ask Jiang Moxi to come back.

In her joy, Zhao Guangmei also quickly utilized her entertainment circle connections to find out that Fu Youhan had reserved a western restaurant at Fengyun Hotel to spend the evening with Jiang Moxi.

Then, Zhao Guangmei promptly set off with Jiang Tairan to Fengyun Hotel, to meet with Jiang Moxi...
