Jiang Ke turned his head sharply when he heard the footsteps, and saw a very gentle face.

The woman in front of her was about forty years old, wearing a cheongsam, a pearl necklace and earrings, very delicate and luxurious, and exuding an upper-class atmosphere.

This face is a little familiar.

Jiang Ke's brain is so good, after a little thought, she remembered that she had seen this face in the private room that day.

The woman smiled and walked up to her and sat down, asked the maid to serve tea, and said with a smile: "Is Jiang Ke?" I'm Wei Qin, and I'm Heyan's mother. ”

She paused as she said Mom.

Jiang Ke suddenly remembered what the old lady said - He Yan's own mother died of cancer, and she didn't get along well with her family.

Presumably, this woman is not very good to the banquet.

Despite this, Jiang Ke, who had just arrived, still put on her usual well-behaved smile and shouted in a low voice: "Hello, Auntie." ”

Wei Qin smiled, "I heard that you and He Yan have both received certificates, why do you still call me Auntie, you can also call me Mom." ”

Jiang Ke pursed his lips and didn't answer.

Wei Qin's eyes flashed a different color, and when he saw this, he didn't say anything about this topic, and said again: "This wedding is indeed a bit rushed, but the old man thought that you and He Yan had already obtained the marriage certificate, so he called some acquaintances to come and treat it as your wedding, you won't mind, right?" ”

She said that it was He Yan's father's meaning, Jiang Ke naturally didn't dare to mind, although she also felt that this wedding was too hasty, but she was an orphan, and she didn't have the right to say no.

She shook her head slightly.

Wei Qin has been looking at her, the meeting in the private room that day was really hasty, and he didn't look at her carefully, but now he saw her sitting here, looking quiet and well-behaved, and remembered what the old lady said, she was just an orphan, and suddenly felt that He Yan was extremely stupid.

Seeing that he was unwilling to marry the Wu family, he thought that he would find a wealthy daughter, but he didn't expect to find such a little orphan girl.

It's okay, so that he will not be qualified to compete for power with his two sons in the future.

Wei Qin was happy in her heart, and beckoned the maid to bring a velvet brocade box over, and when the box was opened, it was a string of pearl necklaces that were worth a lot of money at a glance.

Jiang Ke glanced at it and didn't think much about it, but felt that this woman really liked pearls.

But in the next second, Wei Qin pushed the box in front of her.

"Xiao Ke, you and the banquet were married in a hurry, I didn't prepare a gift for you, and the money was too vulgar, this necklace was taken at a public welfare dinner abroad last time, you took it as a wedding gift, if there is anything bad about you at the banquet in the future, or dare to bully you, you can come and tell me at any time."

She smiled softly, like a kind elder.

But Jiang Ke didn't dare to accept it.

Because He Yan has a bad temper and a bad relationship with this stepmother, if Jiang Ke accepts a gift, He Yan may lose his temper.

She subconsciously pushed back, "Thank you, Auntie, this is too valuable, I can't accept it." ”

Hearing this, Wei Qin's face changed slightly.

She didn't believe that the other party couldn't see that she was trying to woo her.

She pushed the box again, "You just take it, it's my heart." He Yan is a moody child, if it really treats you badly, just tell me, and I will support you. ”

Jiang Ke looked at the necklace that was worth a lot of money at a glance, and still didn't dare to accept it.

"Auntie, I appreciate your kindness, I don't want the necklace."

She refused very firmly, which made Wei Qin stunned for a moment.

I thought that this little orphan girl was helpless and would be very easy to handle, but I didn't expect that her brain was quite sober and she didn't get in oil and salt.

A hint of displeasure flashed in the corner of Wei Qin's eyes, and he put the box away and handed it to the servant again, and then looked at Jiang Ke with a less friendly look.

"If you really don't want me, I can't help it, so let's go outside first, the guests are here, waiting for you, the bride, to appear."

There was a hint of mockery in her final note.

Jiang Ke didn't hear it, he just felt that it was really embarrassing to stay with her like this, so he hurriedly stood up and said, "Okay." ”

The two of them walked outside together and came to the crowded vestibule.

The wealthy families are also divided into high and low, and there are not many people who come today, but they are all the top among the wealthy families.

As soon as Jiang Ke and Wei Qin appeared, they attracted everyone's attention.

Because the banquet did not come, everyone looked at Jiang Ke beside Wei Qin, mockery flashed on their faces, and they gathered together to whisper.

Jiang Ke was judged by everyone's eyes, and she was a little helpless when she stood there, but Wei Qin in front of her also looked like she was not easy to get close to, and she didn't dare to lean up.

Just when she was in a hurry, Wei Qin took her to the front and stood beside He Hong.

He Hong picked up the wine glass and introduced it to everyone: "This is Jiang Ke, the bride of He Yan." Then he drank a glass of wine to himself, and it was gone.

Jiang Ke stood beside him, feeling like a monkey being watched.

She didn't expect that the congratulatory banquet really didn't come, and she was the only one who attended this so-called wedding.

He Hong didn't even look at her after speaking, and left alone.

The rest of the He family just watched coldly, and no one stepped forward.

Jiang Ke stood alone in place, feeling like a clown, and his slender body trembled slightly.

Until Wei Qin stepped forward and looked at her.

"Today's people here are all relatives and friends of the He family, I'll take you to toast one by one and get to know each other."

Jiang Ke glanced at the crowd around him, and just wanted to go home.

"Auntie, I can't drink-"

She wanted to use this to escape the toast, but Wei Qin's smile froze for a moment, and she quickly said, "You can drink water, as the bride of the banquet, you still have to go and say hello to everyone." ”

Jiang Ke couldn't refuse, Wei Qin asked the maid to bring a glass of boiled water and stuffed it into her hand strongly.

Jiang Ke looked at her swaying back walking in front, and suddenly understood why He Yan didn't like this stepmother.

It seems gentle, but it's not considerate at all.

But Wei Qin had already walked towards the crowd, and she had to raise her heels.

The high heels were a little ill-fitting, she staggered, and Wei Qin didn't reach out to help her.

Wei Qin took her to meet many people, but the eyes of those people looking at her were very subtle, which inexplicably made her feel very uncomfortable.

Until Wei Qin took her to the family.

It is a family of four of the Wu family.

Wei Qin first greeted Wu Tianhua with a smile, and then looked at Wu Qiutong, who looked evasive.

"Tongtong, you're a good girl, it's a pity that we didn't have a blessing in the banquet-" She said this, and seemed to remember that there was a Jiang Ke beside her, and took back the rest of the words.

Wu Tianhua was happier than anyone else, after all, he didn't want to marry his daughter to He Yan, a mad dog, and when he saw someone taking over, he could still get out of the way, he couldn't ask for it.

He smiled and raised his glass to Wei Qin: "Madam, we Qiutong have no blessings, today is such a happy day, I toast you." ”

A different color flashed on Wei Qin's face, and he smiled again in the next second: "Okay, let's go with Coco, I will give you Uncle Wu a drink." ”

Jiang Ke just picked up the water cup, and she didn't know who bumped into her behind her, she staggered, and all the water in the cup splashed on Wu Qiutong's chest.

Wu Qiutong was wearing a pink haute couture dress, and covered her chest with a scream.

The people around immediately looked this way.
