Chapter 1996: She Is Just a Little Sidekick

Given Jiang Motian's status, whoever she found to chat with would certainly treat her with great respect.

Consequently, they were also very polite to Wei Yangyang.

Jiang Motian took the opportunity to introduce her good friend to the other party.

And so, the name Wei Yangyang very quickly left a deep impression in the minds of quite a few people.

This was more effective than Wei Yangyang trying to build connections herself.

But Jiang Motian's actions were equivalent to placing too many treasures on a small boat.

Even if the boat itself didn't feel heavy, it would still attract the ill-intentioned gazes of others.

At this moment, Wei Yangyang was receiving quite a few strange looks.

She could feel it, and it made her... quite uncomfortable.

Just as Jiang Motian was about to drag her off to be introduced to another big shot, Wei Yangyang stopped in her tracks.

Jiang Motian turned back and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"It's just... I've met too many people, I need to slow down, otherwise it's easy to mix up their names."

"I see, then let's take a break for a while."

As she said this, Jiang Motian took the initiative to hand Wei Yangyang a glass of fruit juice.

Then, she said, "Once we've chatted enough on the first floor, I'll take you up to the second floor."

"There's a second floor here?"

"Yes, it's a lounge."

"This... since people have gone there to rest, I shouldn't go and disturb them."

"Actually, the so-called lounge is just to provide a more private space for both parties to chat alone."

"Then I definitely shouldn't disturb them."

"But we can occupy a lounge too."

Jiang Motian's background allowed her to have no qualms.

Even if she wasn't a person in the business world, she still had a clear grasp of many things.

And she enjoyed the flattery and privileges of others with a clear conscience.

But Wei Yangyang couldn't do that.

Being able to come here was already a case of a little shrimp like her getting in through the back door.

Now, following her friend to reach the top in one step...

Every step felt unsteady and floating.

Now, she had to remind her friend: "I think I've met enough people today, let's keep a lower profile for a while."

"Low profile? We're already very low profile; I haven't made any demands of anyone."

"Then... let's be even lower profile."

Wei Yangyang's words made Jiang Motian tilt her head to look at her.

After looking for a moment, Jiang Motian finally noticed the unease in the depths of Wei Yangyang's eyes.

Then, her eyes shifted...

Jiang Motian asked: "Is it because of what Wanyi said just now that you're taking it to heart?"

"I'm not taking it to heart."

"If you really weren't taking it to heart, you should have asked me which sentence Wanyi said."

This...

Wei Yangyang wanted to find an excuse to explain.

But Jiang Motian held her hand and said: "Alright, why are you still pretending in front of me? Say whatever you want to say."

"Then... I'm going to say it."

"Mm, go ahead."

Wei Yangyang took a deep breath and said: "I'm very happy that you can protect me, but if an eagle wants to learn to fly, it has to take a few tumbles."

Jiang Motian understood what Wei Yangyang meant.

She wanted to try and venture out on her own in this banquet hall.

But Jiang Motian knew all too well what the result of Wei Yangyang venturing out alone would be...

She would definitely be hurt!

Jiang Motian could not watch such a thing happen.

So, she said somewhat stubbornly: "Then go tumble somewhere else, don't tumble in front of me, otherwise I'm just going to hold you up and take you flying with me!"

Jiang Motian had essentially stated her position.

It was just that her attitude made Wei Yangyang... feel somewhat helpless.

But she also knew this was her friend's good intention.

Wei Yangyang could only smile and say: "Sigh, I guess I have no choice but to cling to this thigh."

"That's right, and you have to cling on tight. Besides, you don't need to be in a rush to taste the cold and warmth of the world; there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

"Mm, that's true."

"So, have you rested enough? I'll take you to meet President Wang over there."

Wei Yangyang put down her juice glass, wanting to go with her friend.

However...

"Um, I want to go to the restroom."

"Fine, I'll wait for you here."

Wei Yangyang nodded and then went to the restroom.

The restroom for the banquet hall is on the second floor.

Wei Yangyang walked up the stairs.

But what she did not know was that as soon as she went up the stairs, her figure was spotted by someone.

Not long after Su Kexuan and Li Xingyan entered the banquet hall, they went up to the second floor to chat with a senior.

They chatted until just now, when the group finally walked out of the lounge.

But as soon as they came out...

Su Kexuan smiled and said to Li Xingyan, "Isn't that your sweetheart?"

Li Xingyan turned his head indifferently.

He thought Su Kexuan was joking with him.

Regardless of anything else, Wei Yangyang should not have appeared here.

But...

That figure really was Wei Yangyang!

How could she have come?

Seeing Li Xingyan's gaze clearly soften, Su Kexuan sighed and said, "After being serious all night, I finally see you show a bit of human warmth."

Li Xingyan ignored her teasing and instead lifted his foot, intending to follow.

Su Kexuan stopped him and reminded him, "Your sweetheart went to the restroom."

This reminder left Li Xingyan standing awkwardly in place.

And at this moment, Su Kexuan could swagger over there.

Li Xingyan could not help but frown.

He said, "Do not talk nonsense!"

"Oh, don't worry."

To be honest, Li Xingyan... was not very reassured.

Yet he was helpless to do anything about it.

In the restroom, Wei Yangyang was finally able to breathe a sigh of relief.

Ever since she put on the gorgeous evening gown, she had been putting on an act.

Only at this moment could she relax.

By the way, she rubbed her cheeks, which were sore from smiling.

She really did not like this kind of occasion today.

Wei Yangyang told herself that if she hadn't grown to a certain level, she shouldn't come to challenge it again.

Taking a deep breath, Wei Yangyang prepared to walk out of the stall.

But it was at this moment that she heard someone chatting outside.

Listening carefully, it was even related to her.

"Hey, did you see the eldest daughter of the Li Family?"

"Jiang Motian? I saw her."

"This eldest daughter is really enthusiastic today, bringing a woman named, named Wei Yangyang, to network everywhere."

"Who is that person, a rising star in the business world?"

"What are you talking about? I heard she's just a small designer, doesn't even have a major award. The company at home is as small as a sesame seed!"

"Ah, how could someone like that come here?"

"Of course, it's the perk of being the eldest daughter's sidekick."

"Sigh, I want to be the eldest daughter's sidekick too."

"Then you have to know how to butter people up..."

The content of the two people's chat became increasingly excessive.

Wei Yangyang could no longer listen!

She closed her eyes and then pushed the door open forcefully.

Then, she walked out with a tense expression.

One of them recognized Wei Yangyang's identity.

But she was not flustered; instead, she warned, "Hey, little sidekick, don't go blabbing about things you shouldn't say!"

"I am not a little sidekick, I am Tiantian's friend!"

The two of them looked at each other and then laughed out loud.

Afterwards, one of them mocked her, "Are little sidekicks nowadays all this prideful? I'm telling you, you've already hitched a ride on the Li Family's big ship, so what would it hurt to lower your head a little?"

"Exactly, using someone else, yet acting all high and mighty here!"
