An Yiqing’s lips curved up, "Just an old lady, can Guh Siyi not handle her?"
"Ha! You got that wrong! That old lady is definitely not one to be underestimated. Back when Jiang Baoguo’s father was alive, the Kang family was a well-known wealthy clan in Xuandu City, and that old lady, though not the main wife, managed to kick out the main wife and all the concubines. Later, during the war, Jiang Baoguo’s father was killed by the enemy. That old lady fled with seven or eight-year-old Jiang Baoguo, raising him healthy and chubby despite the warti chaos. Jiang Baoguo is extrely filial, especially since his mother never remarried for his sake. So in the Kang family, she’s the boss. Whatever she says goes; no one dares to contradict her. Don’t be fooled by the fact that she’s over ninety now; her mind is sharp, and many high-society wives can’t compare to her cunning. If Guh Siyi marries into this family, heh, there’ll be quite the performance to watch!"
Bai Yiming chuckled maliciously and said no more.
An Yiqing’s eyes narrowed slightly, processing the information she just heard. She never imagined there would be such a cunning and formidable figure in the Kang family. With Guh Siyi’s haughty personality, she’s probably already harboring resentnt against Old Lady Kang!
Ha! She loves watching a spectacle; should she add a catalyst to this marriage affair and make it concrete?
An Yiqing’s little brain started to whirl.
At nine o’clock, the engagent ceremony officially began.
The emcee invited Jiang Baoguo and his two grandchildren on stage. After Jiang Baoguo’s brief speech, Guh Tian appeared on the staircase with Guh Siyi from the second floor.
Guh Siyi was dressed in a flaming red floor-length gown, her long hair elegantly pinned up, her makeup ticulously crafted.
If placed in a crowd, she would certainly be the most dazzling one. But because An Yiqing was present today, Guh Siyi’s beauty seed a bit more vulgar.
"Tsk, little girl, no matter how I look at Guh Siyi, she can’t hold a candle to you. Were everyone blind before, calling her the First Miss of Xuandu City!" Bai Yiming glanced disdainfully at Guh Siyi as she walked on stage, thinking only his little girl was truly beautiful.
An Yiqing gave Bai Yiming a helpless look, "Stop talking, aren’t you worried about increasing the hatred directed at ?"
At this mont, Guh Tian had already led Guh Siyi onto the stage and handed her over to Kang Feng. It seed touching on the surface, but only Guh Siyi and Kang Feng knew just how awkward their handholding truly was.
Guh Siyi’s face held a forced smile, her upward-tilting eyes scanning through the crowd, quickly locating Gu Yelin, and naturally, she saw An Yiqing always in Gu Yelin’s embrace.
Deep jealousy flashed in her eyes, and she montarily couldn’t look away from the two.
What she didn’t realize was that she was gripping Kang Feng’s hand tighter and tighter, nearly strangling his hand red.
Kang Feng endured the pain, subtly furrowing his brows. He turned to look at Guh Siyi, then followed her gaze downward, his heart forming a cold laugh.
"Mind your actions and words; the Kang family and the Guh family can’t afford to lose face."
Kang Feng’s words startled Guh Siyi back to reality; she turned to give him a cold glance full of disdain.
Kang Feng was infuriated, but considering the occasion, he said no more, only letting out a low, cold snort.
After Guh Tian and Jiang Baoguo thoroughly perford their roles, Kang Feng and Guh Siyi led the first dance, officially starting the banquet.
An Yiqing sat on the sofa in boredom, accompanied by the obedient Yin Xilin. The two beauties, one big and one small, held matching fruit salads, eating freely with no regard for others.
