Chapter 31 She became an outsider
Upstairs, Jiang Cheng calmed down her emotions, went to the bathroom to sort out herself and washed her face.
When we went downstairs, it seemed that the downstairs had become lively.
The guests were all here, and on the projection temporarily set up in the living room, some photos of the Jiang family being together took turns playing.
Jiang Cheng stood still, her eyes couldn't help but fall on the big screen, and photos flashed one by one. There were Jiang Yuan, Xu Xiuwan and her father, and a few people took photos. The photos took turns to play alternately.
She stood on the stairs for a long time, and until the photos were cycled, she didn't see a photo that belonged to her. It seemed that she was not a member of the Jiang family at all.
If she had the only sense of presence in these photos, she probably was the only dress that belonged to her that Jiang Yuan wore.
The tears that had just stopped almost burst out again.
She raised her head, held back all the tears that surged into her eyes, and walked towards Jiang Zhonglin solemnly.
At this time, Jiang Zhonglin was calling all the guests to take their seats. She slowly walked up to her, and shouted with red eyes, "Dad."
Jiang Zhonglin turned around when he heard the sound, and saw that it was Jiang Cheng frowning slightly, "What's wrong with you?"
In a word, it was like a cold awl piercing on Jiang Cheng's heart. She stubbornly raised her little face, like a child who was wronged but did not dare to say much, and tears kept rolling in her eyes.
"Dad, I am here to celebrate your birthday today. I have never thought about embarrassing you, nor have I thought about the face of the chung Jiang family. I am my father's daughter. What kind of child I am, Dad should know me the best."
When Jiang Cheng's aggrieved eyes flashed with guilt in his eyes. He turned his face and said coldly: "Of course I know you. It's because I know you that I get angry after you do such a thing."
Jiang Cheng's eyes were disappointed, and she asked in a weak voice, "Don't Dad believe in his daughter?"
Hearing her questioning, Jiang Zhonglin frowned in annoyance, "I naturally believe in my daughter. But you really disappointed my father."
All the hopes that emerged in Jiang Cheng's heart were shattered. Her eyelashes like feather fan trembled and tears rolled out. She no longer planned to continue explaining. She took out the prepared works of Mr. Hua, "Dad, this is my birthday gift. It is the birthday picture of Mr. Hua's crane that I specially asked for. I also hope that Mr. Hua likes it."
Jiang Zhonglin showed joy on his face, took it with the opportunity, and slowly let go of the scroll in public, "No, it's the original one."
Jiang Cheng stood beside him, and no one heard anything except this sentence.
Jiang Zhonglin's old friends were attracted by the painting and surrounded him, and everyone praised him a lot.
"This is Mr. Hua's birthday picture. Mr. Hua's birthday picture is rare. Is it the original one?"
"Zhonglin, I really didn't expect that your daughter is so capable that she can ask for a birthday celebration picture for Mr. Hua. Today, the banquet will end, so I want to stay and enjoy it."
When Jiang Cheng saw this scene, she didn't say much and wanted to take the opportunity to leave.
The gift she wanted to give had been given, and she didn't want to stay.
As for Xu Xiuwan and her daughter snatching away their things, she will definitely get them back one by one after their father’s birthday party today.
She would not tolerate the two of them bullying their father with hypocritical faces.
Jiang Cheng turned around and suddenly heard Xu Xiuwan's intimate voice behind him, "Chengzi, what are you going to do?"
She walked over with a smile on her face, then went up and took Jiang Cheng's arm, looking like a loving mother, "Today is your father's birthday. Our family hasn't sat together for a long time. Sit down."
As soon as she said this, other relatives and friends spoke.
"Yes, Oranges are sitting around quickly, why did you forget the orange?"
Now, Jiang Cheng turned around and left after he was not good enough.
She suppressed the discomfort in her heart and returned to the dining table.
But I found that the table seemed to have no place for her.
My father sat on the main seat, and Xu Xiuguan and Jiang Yuan sat on both sides of his left and right hands.
It was still the second aunt Tang, and waved to Jiang Cheng, "Come to Xiaochengzi, come to Second Aunt to sit here. Second Aunt has a few words to say to you."
Jiang Cheng smiled and sat down next to Tang.
Tang pulled Jiang Cheng to her side, lowered her voice, and whispered: "Xu Xiuguan and Jiang Yuan are not good birds. Be careful and don't be bullied. Tell me to my second aunt if you have any questions."
Tang and Jiang Cheng's mother had a good relationship when they were young. Tang didn't look down on Xu Xiuguan from the beginning.
At the moment, I really can't stand Xu Xiuguan's sexy actions, so I have to remind Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng looked at Tang with gratitude, and a warm feeling passed by her heart, "Second Aunt, I know, don't worry, I won't let myself be bullied."
Xu Xiuguan sat down, and before Jiang Zhonglin could sit down, Jiang Yuan came to her and asked quietly, "Mom, that stinky girl Jiang Cheng, just leave if you want to leave. Why did you call her back?"
"Jiang Cheng knew how to steal my limelight."
Xu Xiuguan mysteriously curled up the corners of his lips, and a trace of evil flashed through his eyes, "The good show is about to begin, and of course the person involved must be present."
Everyone was chatting at the dining table, and soon someone led the conversation to Jiang Cheng.
"I heard that the Gu family of a century-old family wants to marry your family, and Jiang Cheng can marry him, which is really a blessing."
As soon as he said this, someone immediately agreed, "Oh, what, the person who wants to marry in the Gu family is Jiang Yuan."
"Hey, how is that possible? I clearly heard that it was Jiang Cheng. Can this person still be halfway through?"
Xu Xuexue, who had just been splashed with red wine, had changed into a clean dress now and immediately joined in after hearing this.
"The wives don't know yet. Jiang Cheng is already married, so how can he marry the Gu family? Only Jiang Yuan has the blessing to marry the Gu family as a wife."
Anyone who is interested will know that among the younger generations of the Gu family, the only one who can stand on their own is Gu Fangchi.
Now that the Gu family’s old man is old, it will be a matter of time before Gu Fangchi becomes the next generation head of the Gu family.
When Jiang Yuan married, she would be like owning the entire Gu family. The entire Gu family was incomparable to this group of people.
As soon as Xu Xuexue said, someone immediately wondered, "What's going on?"
Xu Xuexue pretended to be mysterious, which made everyone's appetite, "This is the Jiang family's family business. I'm not good at telling the public. If the wives want to know, please go and ask Mrs. Jiang."
A saying that family affairs should not be mentioned outside instantly reminds others of family scandals that should not be expressed outside.
At this moment, the birthday music in the entire hall suddenly appeared strange, and the big screen where the photos were originally playing suddenly turned black.
The sudden change attracted everyone's attention.
