I attended a banquet with Shen An.

The host was a highly esteemed lawyer in Hong Kong City.

It seemed low-key, but almost all the attendees were top elites of Hong Kong City.

When I appeared in a dress with Shen An on my arm, I saw Ruan Yueyue singing on stage as a guest performer.

The moment she saw us, Ruan Yueyue was furious and anxious.

But she didn't dare offend her agency, nor the host, so she could only grit her teeth and continue singing.

Although celebrities shine brightly, in the eyes of the wealthy, they are just entertainers.

I saw Ruan Yueyue clench her fists. She was unwilling to be the servant while I was the served in the same occasion.

Ruan Yueyue cast her gaze at Shen An, hoping he would help her escape this awkward and inferior situation.

Shen An looked at Ruan Yueyue with pity in his eyes, and he was about to step forward when I quickly placed my hand on his shoulder.

I whispered, "If you still want to save face for the Shen family and continue staying in this circle, you must endure it!"

He had suffered the humiliation of being unwelcomed, and he knew that being expelled from the high society would be even more unbearable than losing love.

At this moment, a tall and slender figure walked over and gave Ruan Yueyue a gentle smile.

"Miss Ruan, you are truly radiant. May I have the honor of being your companion later?"

The person was Jiang Sizhe.

Shen An looked at Jiang Sizhe with hostility in his eyes, and I quickly calmed him down. "Mr. Jiang is a distinguished guest of Lawyer He. His background is formidable, and we might need his help in the future. Please, don't act rashly and lose more than you gain!"

Shen An took a deep breath and swallowed his anger.

Ruan Yueyue's eyes lit up when she looked at Jiang Sizhe, as if she had seen her savior.

She smiled charmingly, "Of course, I would be glad to."

After Ruan Yueyue finished singing, Jiang Sizhe gentlemanly extended his hand to her.

When she took Jiang Sizhe's hand, she glared at Shen An fiercely, as if telling him, "If you don't protect me, someone else will."

I could sense that Shen An was losing his composure. After greeting an elder, he used the excuse of a stomach ache to go to the restroom, and disappeared in a flash.

I knew he went to find Ruan Yueyue.

Ruan Yueyue stayed beside Jiang Sizhe, listening to the compliments and flattery from everyone towards him, as if she was also elevated with him.

Shen An could only wait on the side, looking for an opportunity.

When Ruan Yueyue came out of the restroom, he finally seized the chance and grabbed her arm, dragging her to a secluded corner of the garden.

I followed behind them, waiting for the right moment.

Shen An said angrily, "I told you, I went back home for our future. Only by bringing down Lu Mingzhu can you have a chance to be legitimized. I endured humiliation for your sake, but you are flirting with other men here. How can you do this to me!"

Perhaps it was Jiang Sizhe who gave Ruan Yueyue confidence, as her attitude was also unkind, "How do I know if you went back for real? Especially on an occasion like today, you brought her to openly suppress me, making me look like a clown. If it wasn't for Mr. Jiang, I would have been thoroughly humiliated in front of her."

Shen An naturally understood her thoughts, and he was uneasy, "You go back and wait for me. I'll find you later."

But Ruan Yueyue was not willing to let go of the big fish, Jiang Sizhe. She crossed her arms, "You walk your broad road, and I'll walk my narrow bridge. We won't interfere with each other."

"You..." The once obedient and compliant woman seemed to be out of control.

His tone turned to a threat, "Yueyue, we're like grasshoppers tied to the same string. We both carry a human life. You absolutely cannot betray me."

Ruan Yueyue shook him off, "Stop threatening me. It was your car that killed someone. At most, I was just covering it up. Who will die is not certain yet!"

It was my turn to step in!

I strode over and said to Ruan Yueyue in a contemptuous tone, "Since you chose to be a mistress, you should have the awareness of a mistress. This place does not belong to you. If Mr. Jiang knew you were the niece of a mistress and continued being a mistress, would he look at you differently?"

Ruan Yueyue showed a resentful look, "Brother An doesn't like you. It's you who rushed to marry him."

I glared at Shen An. He had promised to give me the dignity of a legitimate wife.

Shen An was caught in a dilemma. Ruan Yueyue's heart was already swaying. If she were to lose face again, she might really leave.

But if he disregarded my face, the Shen family's interests would be harmed.

He lowered his head very low.

I smiled lightly and nonchalantly, "He loves you, but he can only make you a concubine. No matter what, when it comes to the mistress of the Shen family, it will always be me."

Seeing that Shen An was unwilling to speak for her, Ruan Yueyue almost shed tears of frustration.

Miss Lu, you come from an excellent family background, there's no need to degrade people like this.

Jiang Sizhe walked out slowly from the shadows.

Even in the dim light, his whole person had an undeniable radiance.

Ruan Yueyue stepped forward and leaned against him as if she had found her savior.

"Mr. Jiang, I'm not what she says," she said in a voice as gentle as water, as if she wished to melt into him.

"This is Shen family's family scandal. I'm sorry Mr. Jiang had to see it."

Seeing my respectful and polite attitude towards Jiang Sizhe, Ruan Yueyue firmly believed that he was a reliable support, and thus wanted to seize the opportunity to humiliate me.

She leaned her head on Jiang Sizhe's chest, "I won't feel inferior. Having someone as wonderful as you by my side is my fortune."

Seeing the woman he loved throwing herself into another man's arms, Shen An's eyes seemed to shoot out two flames, wanting to burn the other person to death.

Jiang Sizhe glanced at Shen An and said, "It is only incompetent men who make the women around them heartbroken."

"You..."

Shen An clenched his fists, but I grabbed his hand and addressed Jiang Sizhe, "We have other matters to attend to, so we won't disturb your lovely moment with the lady."

I pulled Shen An's arm and led him away.
