Wen Nian blushed. It seemed that Jiang Chun had been at the door just now. Thinking of how intimate the two of them were just now, Wen Nian felt a little awkward.

Shen Jun’s expression was extremely unnatural, but he still said, “Come in. Why are you here today?”

“Today, Grandpa’s family is treating the Eight Great Families to a meal. It can be considered a gathering of the antiques industry. You know that I’m the only one in my generation, so I have to be present,” Jiang Chun said as she sat beside Shen Jun.

Wen Nian also understood what she meant. She had long known that the Xu family was indeed powerful, especially since her ancestors were also famous figures in the capital. However, after the founding of the country, they had suffered many restrictions. In addition, their descendants were all going downhill. In her previous life, the Jiang family’s assets were eventually swallowed by Jiang Wei.

Seeing Wen Nian lower her head, Jiang Chun thought that she didn’t know about the Xu family’s background, so she explained, “My grandfather only has my mother as his only daughter. The Xu family was…”

“The Xu family is the head of the antique circle in the capital. Everyone in the Eight Great Families follows the Xu family’s lead. I know.” Wen Nian looked up with a smile and smiled at Jiang Chun. “Of course I know such a powerful family, and you’re the only granddaughter.”

Jiang Chun didn’t expect Wen Nian to know this, but she couldn’t hide the smugness on her face. “Yes, I’m ashamed to say that I’ve been in school all this time and haven’t really cared about family matters. That’s why Grandpa brought me here this time. After all, we have to let the Eight Great Families get to know me.”

“Is that so?” Wen Nian looked surprised. “Then what I heard in the production team previously was indeed untrue rumors. They said that this industry only passes down the line to men not women.”

As expected, Jiang Chun’s expression changed a few times, but she didn’t know what to say. The Xu family indeed had such rules. Unfortunately, the old master didn’t have a son, and Xu Li had given birth to a daughter, so they had no right to interfere in the Xu family’s business. Even though Jiang Chun had always thought that she was the only heir, the old master didn’t think highly of her.

Therefore, she was the one who pestered Mr. Xu to bring her along this time. However, none of the Eight Great Families took her seriously.

At this moment, Wen Nian said with a look of self-reproach, “It’s my fault for listening to nonsense. What era is it now? Men and women are equal.”

Then, she asked in confusion, “Shen Jun and I haven’t gone out all this time. How did you know that we were here? And in this private room? Don’t you need to be at such an important gathering?”

In fact, Shen Jun wanted to ask the same question. He hated it when people paid attention to his whereabouts, especially when they investigated him behind his back. He also looked at Jiang Chun in confusion.

“I just came to say hi to you guys. I still have to go back later. This restaurant belongs to a disciple of my grandfather. He saw Shen Jun book a private room and knew that I was good friends with Shen Jun. He thought that he was attending the banquet today, so he told me.” Jiang Chun heaved a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she was prepared.

Actually, she had been paying attention to Shen Jun all along. If Wen Nian couldn’t leave the set, she would have a chance. However, she didn’t expect Shen Jun to bring Wen Nian for a meal.

Hearing her say this, Wen Nian remained silent. She picked up her glass and drank her fruit juice.

Shen Jun nodded. “The gathering of the antique circle is still more important. We’ll leave after eating.”

In other words, he wanted to send the guest away. How could someone as smart as Jiang Chun not understand?

“Then I’ll get going first. I just came over to say hi. I’ll treat you to this meal. Aiya!” When she got up, she ‘accidentally’ touched Shen Jun’s cup, and the juice spilled directly on her sleeve.

Jiang Chun rolled up her sleeves in a panic. Blood had already seeped out of the gauze. With juice spilled on it, it looked very disgusting. Jiang Chun, on the other hand, looked like she was in pain as she bit her lips.

At this moment, the waiter happened to bring over the last bowl of fresh bamboo shoot soup. Jiang Ning, who was at the door, also saw Jiang Chun. “Jiang Chun? Why are you here?” She walked in and realized that Wen Nian and Shen Jun were also there. She then looked at Jiang Chun’s arm that was covered in fruit juice. Jiang Ning quickly took a tissue to help clean it dry.

As she did so, she complained, “What’s going on? If your wound festers again, you won’t need your arm anymore. Do you want to wear long sleeves for the rest of your life?”

Jiang Chun looked troubled as she looked at Shen Jun with tears in her eyes. “That nurse harmed me last time. I’m afraid the scar on my arm won’t heal.”

Although Jiang Ning had been on bad terms with her recently, she was still her cousin. At this moment, Jiang Ning also glared at Shen Jun angrily. “Jiang Chun’s arm was injured because of you. No matter what misunderstanding there was between the two of you, she saved you. How can you treat her like this?”

She rolled her eyes at Wen Nian again.. “Don’t think that some people can be so unscrupulous just because the public opinion is on her side!”
