Blossoming Flowers - Chapter 257

All of He Yuyan’s plans were unknown to Jiang Yingyue and Han Qingshan. Both of them were relaxed and calm. They had not expected that this calmness was like a silence before the storm.

The two of them were entirely focused on preparing the family banquet to announce their engagement. Since it was an engagement party, they had invited many people, and also a few reporters.

Because there were so many people, Han Qingshan had decided that they should not hold the banquet at home. Instead, he picked one of his hotels and prepared the grand hall for the event.

Jiang Yingyue trusted Han Qingshan’s ability to plan the engagement party to the best of his ability. While she was incredibly excited, she also had some problems understanding that it was indeed happening.

She was a young woman, only nineteen years old, but she was already getting engaged. It was not that she regretted, finding Han Qingshan was something she considered her most excellent luck in life, but she still had a hard time understanding that things were like this..

It was like a dream to her, her life was becoming so perfect, and when she looked at Han Qingshan, it was impossible for her to hide her love for him.

Yan Meilin often teased her because of this. Yan Meilin adored her soon-to-be daughter-in-law, and she spoiled her rotten.

She was also currently sewing her engagement outfit, so Jiang Yingyue went to the Han mansion at least once a week.

Time never stopped, and the days went by one after the other. Jiang Yingyue was blissfully happy, alongside Han Qingshan, both of them were looking forward to the engagement ceremony, which was coming closer and closer.

Unknown to them, He Yuyan had taken out all the money she owned to ensure that her idea was executed. She did not have enough money to pay the ones which she had hired, and eventually, she even sold her body for the favors of a group of gangsters.

He Julong and his family paid no attention to He Yuyan. Previously she had been the princess of the He family, but she had also almost caused it to collapse.

Even her father, who usually loved her more than anything, was angry with her and ignored her. He blamed her for him losing control of the company and being forced to give everything to his son.

Han Qingshan had not paid attention to He Yuyan either. She had left them alone for more than half a year, so he was of the impression that the woman had come to her senses and given up.

Unfortunately, this was not the case.

The day of the engagement ceremony arrived. It was a Saturday, and guests were streaming into the hotel’s grand hall.

Standing and welcoming everyone were Han Liqiang, Yan Meilin, Jiang Wei, and Xun Huiyin.

The two groups of parents were the one welcoming people, and although Jiang Wei and Xun Huiyin were dressed elegantly, everyone who looked at them could see their humble origin. Even then, no one looked down upon them.

Even if their origin was humble, they had the backing of the most influential family in the entire country.

Inside the banquet hall, Han Qingshan and Jiang Yingyue were standing close by one another, their arms were linked together, and their faces held gentle smiles filled with happiness.

It was clear that both of them were glowing with excitement; the happiness of being a couple could easily be seen on their faces.

Many of the young women who had arrived were filled with jealousy and envy towards Jiang Yingyue, but they also knew that they held no ability to change Han Qingshan’s decision.

The adults, on the other hand, urged their children to make connections with Jiang Yingyue and Han Qingshan. If they could become friends, they might harvest some benefits later on in time.

Han Qingshan naturally knew what the people who approached him wanted, but he was a businessman after all. Getting connections with everyone was a good idea, and then use the ones he could for his own benefits. That was his style.

He Yuyan knew that if she wanted to enter the hall, she could not let Yan Meilin see her face.

Yan Meilin had seen her the day in the mall where she had caused problems for Jiang Yingyue. If Yan Meilin saw her, she would undoubtedly be asked to leave.

Because of this, she waited until Yan Meilin had to be absent for a short moment before she rushed to the entrance, handed over her, or better said her brother’s, invitation and entered the hall.

Her heart was beating rapidly as she thought of what was going to happen that day, and a malicious smile spread on her lips.

Looking around, she saw many familiar faces, but everyone in the upper circle knew that she was on bad terms with the Han family, so she quickly found a quiet spot next to the wall, lowering her presence as much as she possibly could.

Today she was only there as a spectator. She had no interest in getting involved, but with her plans, she would like to see how Han Qingshan and Jiang Yingyue managed to get unscathed from this.

Although she was standing like a wallflower, hiding in the shadows and sneaking around, Han Qingshan, who was doing everything in his ability to ensure that the day would go well, noticed her almost instantly.

His brows furrowed, and when he saw her manic smile and expectant eyes, he knew that she was up to no good.

He instantly excused himself and went to make a phone call to Hei Yi.
