Chapter 1033: Envy the Women

In the auditorium downstairs, there were gradually more guests.

The people attending the banquet this time were all big families in the capital. Looking around the hall, everyone was gathered and chatting. However, under the surface of peace, there were countless undercurrents.

“CEO Jiang, long time no see.” As one of the top families in Beijing, the moment Jiang Kui entered, a group of people surrounded him and greeted him.

“Long time no see.” Jiang Kui was the future successor of the Jiang family, so he naturally needed to rope in these families in Beijing.

Looking at Jiang Kui, who was surrounded by everyone in the middle of the hall, some of the onlookers revealed mockery in their eyes. “Today’s gala is really lively. I heard that Jun Shiling is coming too.”

“Isn’t that exciting?” The others echoed. “I really don’t know who will be the final winner between the Jiang family and the Jun family.”

Two tigers could not share one mountain. China could not accommodate two top families at the same time. Either the Jiang family and the Jun family would definitely be defeated.

Meanwhile, the major families had already smelled the smoke of war.

“Do you think Jun Shiling is better, or is the Jiang family stronger?”

“The Jun family. Now, the Jun family’s businesses control the economic lifeline. Furthermore, I heard that Jun Shiling is involved in the firearms industry.”

“That might not be the case.” Someone disagreed. “The Jiang family’s business in China might not be comparable to the Jun family, but I heard that the Jiang family’s power overseas has developed extremely quickly, especially with the few super forces in Continent M, Continent O, and Continent F.”

Just as everyone was whispering, there was a commotion at the door. Everyone looked over and was stunned.

The families in Beijing had very good ears. Everyone knew that Jun Shiling had a wife, but this was the first time everyone had really seen Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan appear at the same time as husband and wife.

Jun Shiling was dressed in a black suit, looking clear and handsome. Xia Wanyuan was dressed in a white strapless evening gown, her hair tied behind her head. A necklace filled with pink diamonds on her slender neck shone under the light, and her graceful elegance seemed to be natural.

Xia Wanyuan held Jun Shiling’s arm. The two of them slowly walked forward under everyone’s gazes. Jiang Kui was originally the center of attention, but when the two of them arrived, Jiang Kui clearly felt his presence weaken.

“Tsk, I heard that before Xia Wanyuan was acknowledged by the Wei family, she was a small celebrity from a small family. However, with her bearing, I’m afraid she can’t be raised without decades, right? It’s really strange.” Seeing that Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan had already taken their seats, the others discussed softly behind.

“Finding the right wife can prosper a family. You were just talking about the Jun-Jiang competition. In my opinion, just based on this Xia Wanyuan, I bet that the Jun family will be the final winner.”

Although everyone’s discussion was soft, how could Jiang Kui not hear it? He clenched his fists and looked at Xia Wanyuan, whose side profile was shockingly beautiful not far away. Indignation surged in his heart.

The more he understood Xia Wanyuan, the more shocked Jiang Kui became.

In the upper-class families, everyone knew how important it was to marry a capable mistress of the household. In his opinion, Xia Wanyuan was an excellent helper who could make Jun Shiling’s strength increase.

With her, the Jun family would only rise faster and faster. To the Jiang family, the rise of the Jun family meant the decline of their Jiang family. This was something he definitely did not want to see.

At that moment, a waiter walked over and placed a glass of water for Jiang Kui. Jiang Kui took the water and nodded at him.

After the waiter walked around, he finally went to the first row and placed two glasses of water on Jun Shiling and Xia Wanyuan’s table.

“Are you cold?” Jun Shiling reached out and touched the back of Xia Wanyuan’s hand. It was a little cold. He called Lin Jing and soon, Lin Jing brought a coat into the hall.

“What?” Xia Wanyuan smiled. “It’s only a little cold. I won’t look good in a coat.”

Jun Shiling helped her put on her coat. “Who are you trying to make happy by looking good?”

Xia Wanyuan pursed her lips and revealed a small dimple. “You.”

“Mm.” Jun Shiling tidied her hair and whispered into her ear, “I’ll slowly admire how good you look in a gown tonight. Now, you don’t have to look especially good.”

Under the wide sleeve of his coat, Xia Wanyuan gently pinched Jun Shiling’s palm. “You’re indecent.”

Jun Shiling smiled and took half a step back. “Alright, the auction is about to begin. Tell me which one you like.”

“Mm.” Xia Wanyuan nodded.

Jun Shiling’s table was the focus of the entire venue, and their actions were seen by the others.

“They’re quite good at pretending.” Some men could not help but mock. In their high positions, almost all the beauties in the world were at their fingertips. Naturally, they had to marry virtuous wives, but the colorful flags outside did not sway. Husbands and wives basically respected each other. They had never seen someone like Jun Shiling.

However, the women present did not think much of it. Women had to be more meticulous. In the courtyard, they naturally knew what it was like if their husbands did not love them. Seeing Jun Shiling’s actions towards Xia Wanyuan, the women’s hearts were extremely complicated.

They had never seen such a gentle look in their husband’s eyes.

Everyone had all sorts of thoughts. At this moment, the auction began.

One by one, the long-lost collections contributed by private collectors appeared in front of everyone.

As Jiang Kui listened to the introduction of the various auction items, he paid attention to the commotion beside him.

Finally, when it was time for the third piece of jewelry to be auctioned, Jun Shiling drank the water on the table.

The corners of Jiang Kui’s lips curled up as he sent Jiang Yun a message.

In the suite behind the hall, Jiang Yun was wearing a high slit dress. After reading the message from Jiang Kui, Jiang Yun smiled mockingly. “How disgusting.”

However, what could she do about it? She was the daughter of the Jiang family.
