Chapter 185 She Shouldn’t Have Come
A few days later, Jiang An was invited to attend Ji Wanwan’s wrap-up party.
Although it was meant to be Ji Wanwan’s retirement ceremony, what caused a sensation at the venue was Gao Yu appearing at the party and personally announcing that Ji Wanwan had officially become the spokesperson for Gao Family’s jewelry business; Moreover, the man openly admitted to the media on site the recently rumored secret marriage between him and Ji Wanwan.
This move was killing two birds with one stone; before her retirement, Wanwan really managed to gather a strong following for herself.
Anyone with a clear eye could see that Gao Yu had organized this wrap-up party to please his wife, inviting many social elites, truly giving Ji Wanwan a lot of face.
Jiang An rarely attended such high-profile parties. Since Wanwan, the protagonist, could not stay by her side, Jiang An barely knew anyone there and had to stand awkwardly in a corner alone.
Occasionally, waiters in vests and bow ties would shuttle through the crowd with their trays, attentively offering a glass of red wine to Jiang An, who sat alone in the corner.
The entire hall was brilliantly lit, with countless roses and gifts piled on the central stage, a champagne tower as tall as a person next to it, and a dessert table that had everything one could wish for. Well-dressed guests grouped in twos and threes, chatting and laughing; the scene was splendid.
In the bustling crowd, Jiang An watched Gao Yu and his wife toasting at the other end of the banquet, her head bowed slightly shaking the half glass of red wine just handed to her by the waiter, her eyes and eyebrows revealing an uncontrollable sense of loss.
Perhaps, as Dr. Gao had said, she really shouldn’t have come to this kind of occasion.
Today, Jiang An was wearing the evening dress she had bought at the bridal shop that day, her fair skin complemented by the light blue hue, her delicate cheeks showing a bit of beauty, and her eyes, like water, seemed to sparkle under the glowing white light, making her look like a naïve wealthy young lady from a distance.
