"Your father and sister are going to a banquet for an adult, so they have to dress like this. "You don't need to go, stay at home and watch TV with me!" Mother Wu lovingly patted Jiang Xiaowei's head.

"Great!" I don't like to go to Lord's Banquet! None of them have children to play with! " Jiang Xiaowei said without much interest.

"That's right! Let's go! "I'll take you to wash your hands, then go downstairs to have some snacks. I've made your favorite lotus seed cake!" Mother Wu took Jiang Xiaowei's hand and led him downstairs.

Not long later, Jiang Ping appeared in front of Xia Xinxin, wearing a dark blue suit. He stretched his neck uncomfortably and said with a bedraggled smile, "I've never worn a suit my whole life. Now that I've put it on, I feel like I can't walk anymore!"

"This is specially made for you. It suits you very well!" Xia Xinxin walked up and helped him pull his clothes, smiling, "I'm not used to it. I definitely won't get used to it in the beginning, but I'll get used to it after a while. It was best to get used to it now, as he would have more chances to wear a suit in the future. For example, Jiang Ying's wedding, my wedding, and Wei's wedding, we might need you to wear a suit to attend! "

Upon hearing this, a trace of melancholy flashed across Jiang Ping's face. "A-Ying might not want me to attend!"

Xia Xinxin realized she said the wrong thing, and felt extremely embarrassed.

Fortunately, Jiang Ping said, "It's getting late, let's go! Little Gao is already waiting for us below! "

"Yes, yes." "Let's go!" With a sigh of relief, Xia Xinxin grabbed her purse and walked downstairs with Jiang Ping by the arm.

After bidding farewell to Little Wei, Jiang Ping and Xia Xinxin got into the car together.

Along the way, neither of them spoke.

This was because the two of them were not at all calm.

The thought of returning to her parents' side excited Xia Xinxin.

Jiang Ping couldn't help but feel sad at the thought of destroying his daughter's dream.

He did not know what would happen next, but once he appeared, Jiang Ying would definitely hate him for the rest of her life.

However, the two evils competed against each other, and he couldn't sit by idly and watch Jiang Ying make mistakes one step at a time.

If she stopped now, she still had a chance for happiness.

As long as he truly loved that outstanding man, he believed that even if her true identity was revealed, they would still be happy together.

Without deceit, feelings were even purer and more tenacious. For a long time.

An hour later, the car slowly stopped in front of the Golden Cauldron Hotel.

In front of the hotel, there were all kinds of famous cars. There was a long red carpet in the middle of the entrance.

The two sides of the carpet were filled with bright and beautiful flower baskets. On the flower baskets, without exception, hung red ribbons with golden words printed on them. Most of the words were 'Mr. Zhu Xia's life is longer than Nanshan'. Something like that.

The celebrities of L city were dressed extravagantly and walked gracefully on the red carpet. Each of them was elegant and graceful.

Looking at the lively scene, Jiang Ping uneasily asked, "When I saw them enter, they all held a gold-plated card in their hands. That should be an invitation card, right? How do we get in? "

Xia Xinxin smiled, "With my identity, do we even need to have an invitation card?"

When Jiang Ping heard this, he was suddenly enlightened. However, his heart was growing increasingly nervous.

Seeing his nervous expression, Xia Xinxin thought for a moment and softly said, "If you don't want to go, you don't have to force yourself." Actually, I can do it myself! "

Jiang Ping firmly shook his head. "No!" I'll go with you! "

Since things had come to this, there was no reason to turn back.

What's more, if he went, he could control the scene a little. If he did not go, he really did not know what would happen inside.

"Then, let's get off!" Xia Xinxin pushed open the car door.

Jiang Ping took a deep breath and gathered up his courage to push open the door.

With a smile, Xia Xinxin took Jiang Ping's arm and said softly, "Follow me!"

Jiang Ping nodded uneasily.

Along the way, Xia Xinxin met quite a few acquaintances. She politely smiled at them, and sure enough, the journey was unimpeded. She casually led Jiang Ping into the hotel lobby.

The great hall had long ago been assaulted by the fragrant wind, and streams of people flowed about as the beautiful yet soothing music quietly flowed about.

The well-dressed and eye-catching noble ladies gathered in groups of twos and threes. Sometimes they would clink cups with cups, sometimes they would whisper with each other, enjoying the atmosphere.

Meanwhile, the well-dressed men were gathered together and talking loudly. Their every move and gesture was filled with strength as they showed off their stance of reprimanding others.

They were proud sons of men and had impressive achievements in various fields. Thus, they naturally had a domineering air to them.

Jiang Ping had never seen such a scene before. For a moment, he felt extremely uneasy. He was so nervous that he broke out in a cold sweat. His shirt was tightly pressed against his back, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.

Noticing his uneasiness, Xia Xinxin took a glass of whisky from a passing waiter and handed it to him, saying in a low voice, "Drinking some will make you feel better."

He nodded and raised his head to drink it. Because he drank too fast and too fast, he choked and lowered his head to cough violently.

The coughing sound was too loud, causing many people to look in their direction. It was originally filled with disdain, but when they saw that the person standing next to him was the young miss of the Xia family, they hastily changed into a fawning smile.

Her change in expression was so quick that even Xia Xinxin, who was used to seeing falsehood, couldn't help but feel uncomfortable.

Xia Xinxin patted his back and pulled him to a corner to sit down. She personally served him a glass of wine and some food before whispering, "Don't go anywhere. I'll go investigate Jiang Ying's whereabouts and find a suitable opportunity to look for you. "

Jiang Ping nodded uneasily. "Go quickly!" I won't go anywhere! "

The longer it dragged on, the more unfavorable it became. As such, Xia Xinxin did not dare to linger any longer, she took her small bag and hastily squeezed into the crowd.

She knew that Jiang Ying would have to go to the dressing room to make up once more easily, because in half an hour, the banquet would officially begin. At that time, she would have to give a speech on the stage.

In the confusion, she slipped into the dressing room, where the makeup artist was examining the work she had brought with her. Seeing her push open the door, he said in surprise, "Eh? Miss Xia, when did you change these clothes? Wasn't she wearing a golden long skirt? "In order to match that dress, I intentionally made up some special makeup for you …" His eyebrows wrinkled more and more, "Your makeup has also changed …" Are you going to go out like this later? Even though it's still beautiful, it's not that impressive! "

Xia Xinxin sat in front of the makeup table and said calmly, "Then let's remold it!"

"Oh my god!" I can only try again! " The makeup artist had a terrible headache.

She was a makeup artist hired by the Xia family for the past three years. In these three years, she had sincerely felt that Xia Xiaoxi was the most servile young miss she had ever met in her life. She was very obedient, and never made any weird requests to make Xia Xinxin unable to respond.

However, today was a completely unexpected day.

Time was of the essence, there was less than half an hour left before the banquet ended. She turned around to get some water to remove the makeup on Xia Xinxin's face, but the moment she turned around, a burst of pain and soreness came from her neck.

Xia Xin rushed to support her and dragged her to the fitting room to sit down. She took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry." I have wronged you! "

He swiftly changed into the makeup artist's clothes, then hurriedly closed the door.

After dealing with all this, he hurriedly went to bring Jiang Ping over to the fitting room to hide.

As soon as she closed the door, she heard the sound of the door being pushed open, followed by the crisp sound of high heels hitting the ground. She felt her heart tighten, knowing that the person in charge had gone up on stage.

Jiang Ying didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. She walked quickly to the dressing table and sat down. She looked at herself in the mirror with a bit of weariness and said weakly, "Little Jing, try your best to hurry up! I'll take a few minutes off while you fix my makeup. Although Yan Han has helped me with many things, there are still many chores for me. "Worried to the point of exhaustion."

"Yes." Xia Xinxin replied in a low voice. She walked a few steps to her back and looked in the mirror. She had already closed her eyes in exhaustion.

Xia Xinxin smiled coldly and stretched out her hand to grab Jiang Ying's neck. "Jiang Ying!"

When Jiang Ying, who had just closed his eyes and lost her will, heard her name being called so clearly, her heart jolted. His eyes suddenly widened as she looked at her own face in the mirror and shouted in horror, "Xia Xinxin!"

Xia Xinxin smiled and raised an eyebrow, "What's the matter?" You're scared to see me? "

Towards this scene, although Jiang Ying had always been afraid and uneasy, but it could still be said that she had imagined this kind of encounter between them in her mind. Hence, she quickly settled down and lightly said, "What do you want?"

"You know what I want! You'll know what your father wants! "Come out!" Xia Xinxin called out.

Jiang Ping was extremely unwilling, but he knew that things had gotten to this point and it was imperative that all the forces in the world had acted accordingly. He gritted his teeth, pushed open the door, and walked out of the fitting room.

When Jiang Ying saw Jiang Ping, she couldn't help but panic.

In the past year or so, she had almost forgotten about Jiang Ping.

Even though she had met Jiang Ping at the cinema a few days ago, she didn't pay too much attention to the chores. She only thought that Jiang Ping might be unwilling to accept this, so she came to ask for her alimony.

However, she wasn't afraid of him. She thought that if he came looking for her, she would just give him some money and send him away.

He was a gambler, and when he got the money he would immediately run back to the card table until he lost it again. He would come back to her when the light shone.

At that time, she had already flown far away.

Thus, no matter how much he thought about it, he didn't think that Jiang Ping would pose much of a threat to her.

But now, she knew that she had made a huge mistake!

Jiang Ping's revelation, coupled with Xia Xinxin's words, might not immediately expose her identity, but it would definitely arouse the Xia family's suspicions!

No matter how well he acted, it couldn't be compared to the fact that he had played the role for the past few decades bit by bit!

In the past year or so, she had tried her best not to mention the past and only mentioned the events of the past few years. They had to provide information on Xia Xinxin.

However, she knew nothing about Xia Xinxin when she was young!

Thinking of this, he broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't know how to face this sudden situation.

But he still stubbornly said, "What did you say? I don't understand! "
