However, the next day, another piece of news spread throughout the capital.
The Ji Family was holding a banquet. There were rumors that this was prepared for Ji Jingchen's fiancee.
When Wen Tiantian heard the news, she didn't receive any invitation letter.
Mrs Ruan finally noticed the abnormality.
She saw Wen Tiantian's state, but did not ask. Instead, she said, "Tiantian, are you going to participate?"
Wen Tiantian didn't say anything.
Until today, she hadn't seen Ji Jingchen for a long time.
Even his fiancee's banquet was devoid of her.
She looked down at the ring on her finger.
Ji Jingchen's fiancee, not her?
Seeing her movements, Mrs Ruan reached out her hand to stop her, shifting her gaze onto herself.
"Min Ann'ge also wants to go over. He just happened to not have a girlfriend, so it's urgent for you to help him. How about it?"
Mrs Ruan's words were tactful, not pointing out Ji Wen Tiantian's current predicament.
She did want to go.
Perhaps, if she could see Ji Jingchen at this banquet, she could ask him clearly.
After pondering for a moment, Wen Tiantian finally nodded.
"Alright."
In the evening, Min Ann'ge came here as expected.
Mrs Ruan sent Wen Tiantian out and handed her over to him.
"I can't go over, I'll leave Tiantian to you."
Min Ann'ge nodded. "Don't worry, Mrs Ruan."
Mrs Ruan stood at the door, watching as the car slowly drove away from the Ruan Family, her eyes filled with worry.
Inside the car, no one spoke.
Min Ann'ge turned his head and looked at Wen Tiantian's lonely expression. He even waited for her mood to turn heavy.
Today, Wen Tiantian was wearing a long, naked dress. Her slightly curled chestnut hair was combed back, revealing her shiny, clean forehead.
The line of her profile divided the view from the window into two parts.
The atmosphere inside the car was heavy, as if it was about to solidify.
Min Ann'ge stretched out his hand and pressed his index finger lightly against Wen Tiantian's cheek.
Wen Tiantian quickly turned her head over.
Min Ann'ge used his index finger to lift the corner of her mouth upwards.
"Smile."
"You are the most beautiful person I've ever seen in a banquet. You can't not laugh."
"But Wen Tiantian could not laugh at all." Brother Min, there should be many beauties in the entertainment circle. "
Min Ann'ge said seriously, "That's right, but Wen Tiantian only has one."
"In any case, keep smiling, sweet."
Wen Tiantian took a deep breath, forcing out all the dejected thoughts in her mind.
"I know."
The car slowly stopped in front of Ji Family house.
The entire Ji Mansion was brightly lit, and there were quite a few cars parked outside.
Min Ann'ge got out of the car, turned around and opened the door. He stretched out his hand.
"We're here."
Wen Tiantian waited for a while in the car so that her expression wasn't too bad. Then, she held Min Ann'ge's hand and walked out.
Two doormen stood at the entrance. When they saw Wen Tiantian, they looked at each other.
"What should we do? To block it or not to block it? "
"Mr Ji said he would stop her, but Miss Jiang said she wouldn't …"
The two hesitated and then walked over. Before they could even start talking, they were stopped by Min Ann'ge.
He took out the invitation and handed it to them.
"Everyone can bring a female companion."
With that, he brought Wen Tiantian in.
The two doormen watched their backs, frowning.
Wen Tiantian and Min Ann'ge had just walked into the banquet hall, and everyone looked at her once before moving their gazes away.
But after a second, they all looked back.
Everyone was puzzled, why did Wen Tiantian come in with Min Ann'ge?
They all heard that the banquet today was prepared for Ji Jingchen's fiancee.
Why was Wen Tiantian, the hostess, here?
They looked at him suspiciously, unable to understand what was going on.
On the other side, since Ji Family had seen Wen Tiantian's current expression, it seemed as though they were prepared to watch a good show.
Because of Wen Tiantian's sudden arrival, the originally peaceful banquet suddenly became noisy.
Wen Tiantian straightened her back, meeting everyone's gaze, and tightly pursed her lips.
Min Ann'ge followed behind her and brought her inside.
While walking, she whispered in her ear, "When Ji Jingchen comes out, I will take him to the garden. You can talk there."
Upon hearing his words, Wen Tiantian retracted her attention and nodded.
"Alright."
The two avoided everyone's gaze and walked to a corner where there were not many people.
People kept looking in Wen Tiantian's direction. Min Ann'ge stood beside her and told her in a low voice something interesting about his stay in France.
Wen Tiantian listened attentively, and soon tossed the peculiar gazes of those people to the back of her head.
Elder Zhang's voice suddenly sounded.
"Girl, why aren't you with Ji Jingchen?"
Wen Tiantian raised her head and saw Elder Zhang and Elder Peng standing in front of her.
They looked at them in surprise.
They had heard that this banquet was held for Ji Jingchen and Wen Tiantian.
He had thought that he would see a joyous scene after coming here.
But he didn't expect Wen Tiantian to be standing with Min Ann'ge. The two of them were talking and laughing.
"Elder Peng, Elder Zhang." Wen Tiantian called out to them.
Elder Zhang glanced at Min Ann'ge, then deliberately stepped forward to push him away, putting him between the two of them.
"Oh right, lass, you haven't been here recently. I've found quite a few new things."
Min Ann'ge saw his obvious actions and smiled helplessly.
Fortunately, with Elder Zhang and Elder Peng, these two clowns, she did not seem to be as disappointed as she was just now.
When Ji Jingchen came down from upstairs, this was the scene he saw.
The moment he saw Wen Tiantian, a frown appeared on his forehead.
He had clearly instructed the people at the door to block her out if Wen Tiantian came.
Why would it appear in the banquet hall?
Ji Jingchen's eyes narrowed. He immediately noticed Min Ann'ge, who was standing beside Wen Tiantian, and became gloomy.
Jiang Yutian, who was originally following behind him, followed Ji Jingchen's gaze and saw the person in the corner and smiled.
She went forward and held Ji Jingchen's hand.
"Let's go."
Ji Jingchen controlled the urge to shake her off and walked down.
The moment the two of them came out, everyone in the banquet went into an uproar.
They looked at Ji Jingchen and Jiang Yutian, then turned around to look at Wen Tiantian and Min Ann'ge who were still standing in the corner. They couldn't figure out what was going on …
Wen Tiantian spotted them the moment they left the stage.
At that moment, she could not hear a single word that Min Ann'ge and Elder Zhang had said.
She looked up at the two of them, and the smile on her face collapsed.
Ji Jingchen stared at her with a heavy gaze.
Wen Tiantian's fingers trembled. In the next second, she was held back by Min Ann'ge.
"Tiantian."
Wen Tiantian quickly shook her head and looked away.
"I'm fine."
