There were only a few families in the capital.

As one of Jiang Dongye’s confidants, Chairman Jiang knew more than ordinary people.

“No, nothing’s happening. I’m here to visit my uncle’s family,” Pan Mingyue explained smilingly.

“Your uncle’s family?” Chairman Jiang asked.

Pan Mingyue thought about it before putting down her chopsticks. The rest of Uncle’s family were there, so she introduced them to him. “Uncle, Aunt, this is my colleague…”

She couldn’t recall his name.

“Hello.” Chairman Jiang introduced himself to Father and Mother Pan. “You can call me Xiao Jiang.”

Pan Mingyue’s uncle and aunt were speechless.

Pan Xiangxiang was speechless as well.

It was rather quiet all around.

“Chairman Jiang, hello.” Pan Mingyue’s uncle knew how to settle such things. He stood up and shook hands with Chairman Jiang.

As for addressing him as Xiao Jiang?

There was no way that he was addressing him that way.

Even though he wasn’t sure what the relationship between Pan Mingyue and Chairman Jiang was, he knew that Chairman Jiang was the Jin family’s superior.

As they spoke, Father and Mother Jin panicked.

Even though they were really satisfied with Pan Ji majoring in Chemistry at University S and was employed in a huge company…

They weren’t happy with his family when they investigated it. They knew what went on in their family and wanted Pan Ji to cut ties with the Pan family when they got married.

But…

They couldn’t understand what was going on.

They didn’t even dare to make a sound.

“Mr. Jin.” Chairman Jiang didn’t want to leave anymore. He patted Father Jin’s shoulder and said smilingly, “We’re friends. Let’s discuss the contract tomorrow.”

He then turned towards Pan Mingyue and said, “Miss Pan, you…”

Jiang Hui was sent back to the capital, and he was the only one left in Yun Cheng. If Jiang Dongye found out that he didn’t host Pan Mingyue when she came over…

As he thought about it, Pan Mingyue already knew what he was thinking of and said, “Please go about your business. I’ll look for you if anything arises.”

“Alright,” Chairman Jiang said, nodding. He then left after giving her his contact details.

After Chairman Jiang left, no one dared to make a sound.

Father and Mother Jin exchanged glances.

The attendants today were relatives or business partners of the Jin family. They knew who Chairman Jiang was—a relative of Director Jiang. He was a powerful person in Yun Cheng.

The rest of the people at the main seats came over with their alcohol.

They even asked the service staff to set up more seats over there and complained, “Old Jin, why didn’t you introduce us to them.”

The main seats were meant for Chairman Jiang. Hence, they didn’t dare to be there anymore.

After they were done with the banquet, the Pan family was about to leave.

However, this time, Father and Mother Jin sent them out personally. They even volunteered to drive them home.

However, as Pan Xiangxiang drove here, Uncle rejected.

It was only after they drove far away that Father Jin asked Xiao Jin, “Who’s that girl?”

“That’s Uncle’s niece. She had been studying outside and only returned yesterday. I’ve heard from Xiangxiang that she was a student at Beijing University.” Xiao Jin was shocked as well as she never imagined that this would happen.

“No wonder she knew Chairman Jiang,” Father Jin said as he looked at her. “I’ll visit the in-laws tomorrow. Let’s hope that they aren’t angry over how we treated them today.”

…

On the other side.

In the car.

The Pan family was silent.

Uncle didn’t dare to ask previously as there were many people, but now he looked at the rearview mirror and said, “Mingyue, about Chairman Jiang…”

“He’s a guy that works for a person I know,” Pan Mingyue explained patiently. “We’ve met before, and they took great care of me.”

“No wonder.” Uncle nodded and said, “What does Chairman Jiang do for a living?”

“He’s in the media business. His company is in the capital,” Pan Mingyue answered.

Pan Xiangxiang finally spoke with a sparkle in her eyes. “Cousin, did he ask you to be a star?”

“Me?” Pan Mingyue laughed. “How could I be a star with my looks?”

“Wait, what do you mean your looks? What’s wrong with your looks?” Pan Xiangxiang was shocked.

Aunt looked at her as well.

“I look too normal. There’s nothing special about me. How could I enter the show biz?” Pan Mingyue’s perception was that only people that looked like Qin Ran could enter the show biz.

Everyone fell silent after what she said.

Pan Mingyue stared at Pan Xiangxiang and her mom in confusion.

After a while, Pan Xiangxiang realized that she wasn’t joking. She then said, “Cousin, do you have a misconception about how pretty you look?

“You look normal? I wish to look as normal as you, then.”

Her cousin must have thought that she was an idiot.

Pan Mingyue smiled and didn’t say anything.

What Pan Xiangxiang wasn’t aware of was that in Pan Mingyue’s social circle, even Lu Zhaoying looked better than her. She couldn’t compare herself to Qin Ran, Cheng Juan, and Yan Xi.

Thus…

Pan Mingyue never thought that she was good-looking.

While deep in thought, Pan Mingyue’s phone rang. It was Lu Zhaoying.

“Have you told your uncle? I’m arriving tomorrow.” Lu Zhaoying was busy. She could even hear the interrogation happening.

Pan Mingyue lowered her voice and answered, “Yup, but don’t drive that car of yours.”

“Why?” Lu Zhaoying was confused.

Pan Mingyue answered, “Else the entire village will know.”

Even though the village was huge and almost every family owned a car, they didn’t have luxury cars.

Hence, when a luxury car came into the village, especially one as luxurious as his, the entire town might know about it.

Lu Zhaoying frowned and answered, “Alright, then.”

Even though Pan Mingyue didn’t feel that way, she was really attractive. Everyone wanted to find out who she was when she reached the village.

“The lady next door even wanted to introduce guys to you. She said that she had never seen someone as pretty as you,” Pan Xiangxiang said when they returned to the room. Pan Mingyue was opening her laptop. “Mom was chatting with her. They agreed that only the mayor’s son, who has good grades and good looks, could match up to you…”

Pan Mingyue’s laptop had a retina scanner. Hence, she logged in when she opened the laptop. She then logged onto the 129 and started to go through the files Chang Ning sent her.

When she heard what Pan Xiangxiang said, she sighed and said, “Knock it off, I already have a boyfriend.”
