Chapter 237 - 233: Repetition of an Old Drama
Chapter 233: Replay of Past Drama
The evening lights were just coming on, and night had quietly descended.
Jiang An had not expected the birthday party to be such a grand affair. By the time she changed into her evening gown and entered with Gao Chuan, the banquet hall was already filled with high-profile guests.
She was led by Gao Chuan to find Shen Mei and Gao Lin. The elderly couple, upon seeing Jiang An and Gao Chuan arrive together, couldn’t stop smiling joyfully. The old master graciously accepted Jiang An’s gift and was especially affectionate towards her in the presence of strangers.
Gao Chuan, as the vice president of the company, had to leave Jiang An to entertain some of the partners who had come. The man, glass in hand, was laughing and chatting with a group of people.
Amidst the clinking of glasses, he would occasionally glance around, searching for Jiang An among the crowd.
Many people at the event had noticed Jiang An and were whispering to each other, curious about the identity of the woman whom the old master personally greeted. Word got around about Jiang An’s former status as a daughter-in-law in the Gao family, and thus her past was exposed.
Several young ladies from prestigious families took the initiative to strike up conversations with Jiang An, crowding around her.
Jiang An could not bear their flattering and ingratiating manners and soon felt unwell. Not long after, she walked out of the banquet hall alone.
The noise finally faded from her ears as she adjusted her skirt and slowly walked down the stairs.
The cool evening breeze brushed her face, finally dispelling the irritation in her heart. She looked up slightly and saw a round moon, chill as a tranquil pond.
