Convinced by Liu Chengyu, Xiao Jinning Jin looked excited and walked out, holding Liu Chengyu's arm. The sales clerk at the hairdresser salon behind them enviously and said, "Xiao Jinning is very familiar with her fiance."

On the other hand, Xiao Sa and Xiao Jing soon arrived at the banquet. It was a cocktail party organized by influential people in City A to facilitate high-class communication in City A. Xiao Jing and Xiao Sa usually didn't like coming to such events, but Xiao Sa's company had accepted the invitation, while their vice president went to S City on business matters, so Xiao Jing had no choice but to come here on behalf of the Qiao International Group.

Why didn't the vice president of the Qiao International Group come?

The vice president had to attend many affairs every day and did not have time to attend this kind of party, so Xiao Jing was the best person here.

Although Xiao Jing also served as vice president in the Qiao International Group, she owned the group's shares and she was also a shareholder. Therefore, since he was not as busy as the vice president hired, it was more suitable for him to attend.

Moreover, once the invitation was sent to the company, Qiao Liang's secretary directly brought him to his office, how could he refuse?

The two brothers entered after handing the invitation card to the receptionist at the door. Xiao Jing took out two glasses of champagne from the servant tray and handed the cup to Xiao Sa. Looking at the crowded hall, he shrugged speechlessly and said, “Actually, this banquet is a realistic depiction of people from all walks of life who build relationships with each other.”

"I want to see a movie." Looking at the crowded hall, Xiao Sa was sure no one would know of it even if they left. There are so many people—who will realize if they don't come? After all, they had given the invitation card to the receptionist.

When the two brothers were about to leave, someone stopped them. After hearing a familiar voice, the two brothers exchanged glances and turned to greet Xiao Hongyi and Lin Ru indifferently. Xiao Sa said, "Uncle, Auntie, you came to the banquet as well?”

Xiao Hongyi nodded indifferently and asked, "Only the two of you came?"

Xiao Jing muttered with a cold face, "We wouldn't have come here if we knew we would have met you." His voice was loud enough to be heard by the four of them.

Lin Ru was furious when she heard this. When Jinning returned home yesterday, she told him that she lost the support contract due to a hoax played by the two brothers. He wanted to call them to ask why they were doing it, but Xiao Hongyi had stopped him. He had not expected them to still dare to talk to him like this when meeting him. They were too far away to bully him!

Lin Ru glared at them with a frown and asked rudely, "How could you do such a terrible thing to Jinning? Did he ever offend you? How could you try so hard to destroy his career?! Is it good for you if he? Didn't you lose your support? Didn't you lose the shareholders of the Xiao Group? Aren't you from the Xiao Family?"

Seeing Lin Ru so desperate to defend Xiao Jinning, Xiao Jing sneered, "Auntie, what do you mean? When do we break his support? You mean OLS support? Are you talking about what happened yesterday? Xiao Jinning told you that we broke his support? He is very good at referring to white as black.”.

Lin Ru's face became darker, she stepped forward and glared at them, saying, "Hey, watch your tongue!"

"So what? Is Aunt going to kick me out of the Xiao Family?" Xiao Jing looked at Lin Ru coldly. "Can you?"

Lin Ru raised her hand to hit Xiao Jing, but Xiao Hongyi hurriedly stopped her, "What are you doing? So many people have seen us!"

Lin Ru glared at Xiao Hongyi and replied, "Don't you see how arrogant they are? Aren't they implying that I'm not a member of the Xiao Family? That I'm just an outsider!"

Xiao Hongyi turned to look at the two brothers, but Xiao Jing stepped up and said, "Auntie, Uncle, I didn't mean to offend the two of you, either, but can you provide evidence to support what you say? Don't just listen to Xiao Jinning's side of the story. You should also listen to what we have to say, right? Or listen to what the other people involved are saying."

Right at that moment, He Wanning walked out of the hall. Looks like he's leaving. Xiao Jing immediately called out to him, "Director He!"

A touch of surprise flashed across He Wanning's eyes as he looked at them, but he quickly came and greeted them with a smile, "Master Xiao Sa, Mister Xiao Jing..." When he saw Xiao Hongyi and Lin Ru, however, his face turned cold and he said coldly, "So President Xiao and President Lin are also here."

Deeply satisfied with the change in He Wanning's face, Xiao Jing said with a smile, "Auntie insists that we should give him an explanation. He claimed that Xiao Jinning lost support because Sa and I were in it, and we made you replace Xiao Jinning with someone else. Can you explain it to her?”

He Wanning was told that the two met Xiao Jinning in the underground parking lot yesterday. Perhaps Xiao Jinning misunderstood when they tried to stop him from going upstairs to look for him. With this thought, he frowned and said coldly to Lin Ru, "President Lin, I think our company lawyer has explained to you about Miss Xiao Jinning's support contract with us quite clearly in court. We canceled the contract because, firstly, Miss Xiao Jinning is not suitable for the theme of our TV commercial; secondly, Miss Xiao Jinning unilaterally violated the confidentiality agreement, so we have to break the contract. It had nothing to do with Mister Xiao Jing and Mister Xiao Sa. They came to my company yesterday because of something else that has nothing to do with the contract.”

"You are friends. Of course you'll cover it up!" Since Xiao Jinning's endorsement was annulled and they had even gone to court, Lin Ru was no longer polite to He Wanning. "Director He. You said you found a more suitable endorser, so I deserve to know who he is, huh?”

He Wanning smiled, but his smile was cold. He shook his head and replied, "No, President Lin, you have no right to know. We must abide by the confidentiality agreement, which should not only be observed by the model, but also by our company. I think you, as a decision maker of an entertainment company, should know this.”

Lin Ru stopped, and then her face darkened. Her daughter was replaced by someone else because she did not abide by the confidentiality agreement. He did not even get the damage liquidated and had to pay the lawyer fees for the lawsuit for this reason! Thinking of this, Lin Ru cursed He Wanning loudly in her heart.
