Chapter 583: Announcing Her Identity to Others
"That's right, look at what she's wearing? A cheongsam? Is this some new brand?"
"How is that possible! I've looked through all the big brands and none of them have the cheongsam style. I'm afraid she didn't have enough face to borrow clothes and couldn't afford to buy them, so she just found a roadside shop and made a cheongsam to show off her appearance."
"That must be the case. When people can't tell the brand, she will explain that the clothes are all hand-sewn to ease her embarrassment."
The person who just said Jiang Mubai was beautiful knew that the clothes Jiang Mubai was wearing were specially customized. She had seen the pattern on the clothes before. It was when she turned 18 and had her coming-of-age ceremony, her family specially asked a master craftsman to help customize a piece of clothes for her as a coming-of-age gift. The clothes Jiang Mubai was wearing were not as cheap as the big-name skirts that people like them wore.
She wanted to explain for Jiang Mubai, but because she was targeted for praising Jiang Mubai's beauty before, she didn't dare to speak up for Jiang Mubai anymore.
"Isn't your second uncle also quite rich? Why did he let his daughter wear these unknown cheongsams to attend the banquet?"
"Who knows? I think my second uncle is not a simple person. He might just find a woman to compete with my father for the family property."
"There is really such a possibility. If this is the case, then wouldn't the person named Jiang Mubai know about it?"
"Of course she knows. If she doesn't know, how can she continue to act with my second uncle? If she is cured by then, won't all the efforts be wasted?"
"How vicious! They'll do anything for money."
"That's right, what's the point of being good-looking? You can't make a living and you have such a vicious mind, it's really scary."
"There's one more thing I haven't told you!"
"What's the matter? Jinglan, stop keeping us in suspense."
"This Jiang Mubai was pregnant when she came to our old house. I don't know which wild man she had fooled around with and left her pregnant. It is said that she has a partner. Who knows if it is true or she just said it for the sake of face?"
"Isn't it your second uncle's? He wants someone to help him fight for his inheritance so he pushes his own woman out to pretend to be his daughter?"
"How disgusting! What kind of bad taste is this!"
"That's unlikely. If Jiang Mubai is really your second uncle's woman, wouldn't your second uncle just bring her home and reveal her identity? Why bother with so much trouble? In this way, the child born will be his and a member of your Jiang family. That child will definitely get a share of your Jiang family's property."
"I also think it's unlikely. This is a bit too troublesome. If you treat your own child as your grandson, the grandson will not be able to inherit your Jiang family's property. Even if your second uncle is willing to give it, it will be from his share. The grandson will definitely not directly participate in the distribution of your Jiang family's property. But if it is your second uncle's child, then it can be fine."
"That's right. We can all figure this out. Your second uncle is so smart that he definitely wouldn't be confused."
When everyone was saying this, their eyes were all looking at Jiang Mubai. Jiang Mubai was not a dull person, so of course she could clearly notice other people's gazes on her.
Jiang Mubai was of course curious about who was paying attention to her. When she turned around, she found that the vague gaze was coming from behind her right. She looked over and found that they were a few girls she didn't know. When she saw Jiang Jinglan among them, Jiang Mubai realized that the gaze falling on her was not out of curiosity but out of ill intention.
Jiang Mubai knew Jiang Jinglan's character. The fact that those people could hang out with Jiang Jinglan showed that they were not good people either. After thinking it over, Jiang Mubai didn't want to pay any attention to them. At the same time, he was worried that those people would come up with some bad ideas to frame him again.
After all, the last time Jiang Mubai exposed Jiang Jinglan, the other party never sought revenge on her. Given Jiang Jinglan's personality, Jiang Mubai didn't believe that the other party would let her go just like that.
So when facing Jiang Jinglan, Jiang Mubai had to remind herself to be careful. She didn't want to fall into Jiang Jinglan's trap by accident.
Jiang An was so engrossed in chatting with someone that he almost forgot about Jiang Mubai's existence. When he turned around, he found that Jiang Mubai was sitting alone not far away.
Seeing Jiang Mubai sitting there quietly alone, Jiang An felt sorry for his daughter.
"Mu Bai, why are you sitting here alone? Aren't you chatting with others? Dad forgot that you don't know anyone here. I'm sorry for not being considerate."
"It's okay. I just saw you and uncle busy, and I was embarrassed to disturb you, so I had to find a place to sit down by myself."
"Come on, I'll take you over to meet some people. We're going to meet each other later anyway, so we'll have time to get to know each other, and it'll save you from getting bored sitting here alone."
"Is it convenient? If it's not convenient, don't force me. It will be the same if you introduce me to someone next time."
"It's convenient. There's nothing inconvenient about it. This banquet isn't an occasion for discussing business. We're all just gathering together to chat. This occasion is perfect for introducing you to others."
Jiang An saw that most people were at the party, so he took the initiative to walk forward with Jiang Mubai and signaled everyone to be quiet because he had something to say to everyone. When the people attending the party saw that the person going up on stage was from the Jiang family, they naturally quieted down.
Only Jiang Jinglan and Wang Qianqian were still chattering there. Jiang An didn't look at them. After all, introducing Jiang Mubai was more important and he couldn't let anyone influence it.
"Good evening, everyone. Today, I have something to announce to everyone at this dance. I finally found my daughter Jiang An, who had been lost for many years. This is a gift from God. I will cherish her and will not let her down. This is my daughter Jiang Mubai. I hope everyone can recognize her. She has been recognized by our ancestors. I hope everyone will not make any speculations about the identity of my daughter Mubai in the future. If I find out, our Jiang family will definitely not sit idly by."
After hearing Jiang An say this, the people below started to applaud him enthusiastically.
"So it's the second daughter of your Jiang family! I said that this person must have an extraordinary temperament. We noticed it when she came in with you just now. What a beautiful girl."
"That's right, Mr. Jiang is so lucky! It's really not easy to find your daughter who has been lost for so many years. This shows that the father-daughter relationship in this life has not ended yet."
"She's so pretty and has such a great temperament. She outshines everyone here. No wonder so many people were looking at her when she came in just now. I thought something had happened."
Jiang Mubai felt embarrassed by what everyone said, and Jiang An naturally wanted to help his daughter out when he saw it.
"I'm sorry that this is Mu Bai's first time here and she's not used to it. Today I'm just introducing her to everyone and I don't have any other intentions."
