Behind Jiang Zirong was a woman wearing a light green long dress. Her looks were only considered delicate, with her hands clasped at her abdomen, exuding an air of modesty and elegance.

Everyone’s gaze went back and forth among the three, finally landing on the woman in the white dress that Jiang Zirong was holding onto.

"Oh my! Isn’t this the Jiang Family’s eldest daughter?!" someone exclaimed.

"Jiang Family’s eldest daughter? Wasn’t she abroad?"

"Yes indeed! I heard the Jiang Family’s eldest daughter went abroad five or six years ago, when did she come back?"

Exclamations erupted among the crowd, all surrounding the young woman in the white dress.

Jiang Xuerou, 27 years old, is Jiang Zirong’s only daughter.

In terms of age, Jiang Zirong is barely past forty, definitely under fifty, it’s impossible for him to have such a grown daughter. But this man became adept among women in his teenage years, Jiang Xuerou was born from his use of force on a woman before he was twenty. That woman was also cunning, used the child to rise in status and married Jiang Zirong. However, Mrs. Jiang didn’t have a good life and was driven out by Jiang Zirong within a year, now it’s unknown where she is.

Nonetheless, Jiang Zirong, although having no sentiment towards Jiang Xuerou’s mother, dearly loves this daughter. Growing up, she enjoyed the best in food, clothing, and living. Moreover, when Jiang Xuerou was in high school, she was sent abroad. She only returned every few years. A few years back, Jiang Xuerou suddenly returned to Flower Island for two years, then went abroad again; this time for five years.

As for the woman behind Jiang Zirong, under Jiang Xuerou’s halo, everyone completely ignored her.

Jiang Xuerou is beautiful, with a good family background; whoever marries her would gain Jiang Family and Galaxy Sect as strong backing. As soon as she arrived, she was warmly welcomed and pursued by heirs from various wealthy families.

"Mr. Jiang, I didn’t expect Miss Jiang to be so grown up! Truly a girl’s beauty changes at eighteen, getting more beautiful!"

"Indeed, indeed! Miss Jiang was already a blooming flower in Flower Island, now she’s back, what should we old women do?!"

"Miss Jiang must have achieved a lot academically abroad all these years, Mr. Jiang is truly blessed to have such a radiant daughter!"

Praises flowed one after another, Jiang Xuerou followed beside Jiang Zirong, adorned with a fitting smile. She spoke little but received constant praise from everyone, indeed a daughter of a noble family!

Jiang Zirong’s hearty laughter reverberated time and again, everyone could see he was in a very good mood tonight.

At this moment, the crowd parted, revealing a path; Li Yuhang, supported by a cane, slowly walked over. Behind him were Li Yuphei and other members of the Li Family.

Nobody noticed that as Jiang Xuerou saw Li Yuphei, a glint appeared in her eyes.

"Mr. Jiang coming here really graces this modest abode!" Grandpa Li said warmly, shaking hands with Jiang Zirong.

Jiang Zirong laughed arrogantly, full of flamboyance, "Grandpa, those words are too much for me to bear, tonight you are the main star, everything follows your lead!"

Li Yuhang smiled without speaking, he turned his gaze onto Jiang Xuerou, "This must be Miss Jiang, right?"

Jiang Xuerou, who hadn’t spoken, suddenly showed a gentle smile, her watery eyes briefly swept over Li Yuphei’s face before turning to Grandpa Li, "Grandpa Li, I’m classmates with Yuphei from high school, you can just call me Xuerou."

Grandpa Li was taken aback, casting a glance at Li Yuphei, why hadn’t he mentioned this?

Others were also surprised, they looked at Li Yuphei then Jiang Xuerou, minds racing.

"Wow! Miss Jiang is classmates with the third young master? Childhood sweethearts indeed! Amazing!"

"Exactly! Look at these two, a talented man and a beautiful woman, a golden couple, they’re perfect!"

Many saw the potential, jokingly comparing Jiang Xuerou and Li Yuphei. Jiang Zirong simply watched with a smile, neither getting angry nor opposing.

But Jiang Xuerou, her face blushed slightly, and her gaze toward Li Yuphei carried a hint of shyness.

Seeing this, everyone’s eyes lit up, flattering even more.

Upon hearing the bustling discussions, Grandpa Li discreetly furrowed his brows. He was not fond of the Jiang Family’s ways, despite how Jiang Xuerou seemed alright, she was somewhat arrogant, not suitable for his grandson.

Before he could speak to ease the awkward situation, Xu Qingtian’s eyes suddenly lit up behind the Li Family members.

"Sister Xiao Qing! Why didn’t you tell us you were coming? Grandpa was just mentioning you earlier!"

Xu Qingtian’s voice was not quiet; everyone heard clearly, and followed Xu Qingtian’s gaze.

An Yiqing helplessly chuckled silently. This girl, with her around, there’s no way to keep a low profile.

Unable to avoid it, amidst everyone’s gazes, An Yiqing gracefully stepped forward.

Nobody noticed that at the moment Jiang Xuerou saw An Yiqing, her face immediately darkened. Her gaze fixed on An Yiqing’s dress, eyes slightly cold.

Meanwhile, guests in the hall had no time to pay attention to Jiang Xuerou, all were enchanted by the stunning beauty ahead.

In a white dress, where gauzy fabric danced lightly, her posture graceful, sweet smiles, purely talented.

As the girl’s lotus steps subtly moved, the sheer white gauze trailing her shoulders floating gently in the breeze. Wherever she passed, the gauze touched lightly, leaving a faint fragrance, captivating all.

Until An Yiqing reached Grandpa Li, everyone remained immersed in the unforgettable charm.

"Grandpa Li." An Yiqing stopped, softly called out.

Grandpa Li immediately beamed with a smile, "Good child, why didn’t you tell me you were coming?"

"You, sir, were so busy, I just sought some peaceful solitude by myself." An Yiqing replied with a smile.

Grandpa Li glared slightly, "You girl are just lazy, love seeking peace. I’ve heard from that old Nan Feng that you’re like a hands-off manager in Jinyin City, you don’t handle any matters!"

"Grandpa Li, why not say I manage things wisely?" An Yiqing teased.

Engaging in lively chatter with Grandpa Li like a real granddaughter, An Yiqing surprised those around.

What’s going on? Who is this girl daring to converse so boldly with the Li Family’s old man?

And judging by the interaction, Grandpa Li showed obvious affection toward this girl, even quite highly regarded her.

Amidst everyone’s puzzlement, lifting their heads, seeing Li Yuphei’s expression, they were shocked again.

Li Yuphei, in the business world, often referred to as the cold-faced Yama Raja. Not because he doesn’t smile, but because he appears gentle yet isn’t close to anyone—a ruler. Yet now, gazing at the girl, there was a gentle smile on his lips.

How terrifying!

Could it be, this girl is the bride Grandpa Li chose for Li Yuphei?

Thinking this way, inevitably everyone turned to look at Jiang Xuerou.

Whoa! That expression!
