263: Chapter 263: Supporting You 263: Chapter 263: Supporting You “Hey, sister-in-law, what are you doing here?”

At the jewelry brand event, Jiang You spotted Su He in the VIP seating.

She directly sat down in the empty seat next to Su He.

Su He smiled and said, “I’m here to back you up.”

Today, the jewelry brand event Jiang You is attending is under DK’s jewelry line, and Su He just came with Jiang Yan.

“Huh?” Jiang You didn’t understand at first, “Sister-in-law, what do you mean?”

Su He whispered something into her ear.

The next second, Jiang You’s beautiful almond eyes widened in surprise and disbelief.

Actually, she never knew that DK Group was owned by her own brother, as she never interfered in corporate matters or paid attention to these things.

“Are…are you kidding me, sister-in-law?”

Jiang You stammered, swallowing her saliva.

Seeing the shocked look on her face, Su He chuckled, “Do you think I would joke about this?”

Jiang You quickly shook her head.

“Your brother has some business to handle and hasn’t arrived yet,” Su He looked at her watch and said, “But, he should be arriving soon.”

There are three celebrities endorsing the jewelry this time, one male and two females.

The male is Lu Yi, a popular heartthrob in the industry and a prince charming in the eyes of countless young women, tall and handsome.

The other female celebrity is Xuxu.

As it happens, they also entered the venue just now, and the calls from the surrounding fans were quite loud.

Su He and Jiang You also turned their heads with the sound, taking a glance.

Su He had heard about the incident a couple of days ago from Jiang You.

Xuxu was wearing a black cutout long dress, tall with jet-black hair, exquisite makeup, fairly good looks, and a sultry aura.

Lu Yi and Xuxu entered the venue together, standing side by side like a golden boy and jade girl, as they had collaborated before.

They appeared very familiar with each other, greeted their respective fans, then exchanged smiles jovially, openly mingling outside and unabashedly, hence many people liked both of them.

Now, the event hadn’t started yet, and after they entered, they found their seats.

Xuxu saw Jiang You as soon as she came in, recognizing the dress on her immediately.

It was this year’s spring-summer haute couture, a dreamy pink-purple embroidered lace mermaid gown, a unique piece, not for sale.

But it wasn’t something just anyone could borrow; she originally wanted to wear this dress for today’s event because it matched well with the jewelry display, unfortunately, she wasn’t ranked high enough, and the brand didn’t lend it to her.

Yet now, it was worn by Jiang You; to say she wasn’t jealous would be a lie.

Her features were delicate, her skin fair and smooth, and the dress suited her perfectly, as if it was tailor-made for her, exuding a celestial yet sexy charm.

But why is she sitting in the center seat, the C position?

They were both brand ambassadors; why did she get to sit in the special C position?

Suddenly, Xuxu moved close to Lu Yi and whispered in his ear, “Does Jiang You know someone from the brand?”

Lu Yi casually responded with a question, “Why do you ask?”

With a faint smile, Xuxu said casually, “Her seat should be the same as ours, unless she knows someone, she wouldn’t be sitting there.”

Indeed, the seat next to Lu Yi was reserved for Jiang You, and even had her name tagged on it.

Lu Yi’s gaze inadvertently landed on Jiang You’s back, saying, “Maybe.”

Xuxu narrowed her eyes, a matter-of-fact tone in her voice, “I heard she has a strong backing, a young and pretty girl, just different.”

Her words were full of sarcasm.

After hearing this, Lu Yi glanced at Xuxu out of the corner of his eye but didn’t continue the conversation.

Meanwhile, Jiang You was chatting energetically with Su He, completely disregarding Xuxu.

When the event started, Jiang Yan had yet to arrive.

The three endorsers were invited onstage by the host for fan interactions and played several small games.

After the outdoor activities, the brand had also arranged a small banquet and jewelry exhibition.

Several people moved indoors, and Jiang You took a liking to several sets of jewelry.

Seeing that she really liked them, Su He arranged for someone to keep the sets she liked and have them delivered after the event ended.

Liu Xuxu had been watchful the whole time as Jiang You walked around, arm in arm with Su He, appearing quite intimate.

Moreover, she had never met Su He and did not know who she was.

However, she could tell that the handbag Su He was carrying was a globally limited edition worth millions.

A woman who could afford such a limited-edition handbag must be rich or noble.

How did Jiang You know such a wealthy woman?

This woman looked quite young and likely was the daughter of a wealthy family from Yue City.

Then, she picked up a glass of red wine and walked over to them, initiating a conversation, “Hello, Jiang You, I didn’t get a chance to greet you and chat at the event just now.

The dress you are wearing today looks so gorgeous on you.

It suits you perfectly, as if it was tailor-made for you.”

She looked at her enviously, her words filled with sincerity.

Jiang You glanced at her indifferently and smiled slightly, “How do you know it is custom-made?”

“Huh?” Liu Xuxu was baffled by her sudden counter-question.

Jiang You said, “This dress is indeed tailor-made for me, and it is in my size, but very few people know about it.

Liu Xuxu was taken aback, “Are you saying this dress was originally yours?”

Jiang You raised her eyebrows slightly, “Yes, it was actually custom-made for me by my sister-in-law.”

She wasn’t lying; it was one of the birthday gifts Su He had given her.

Seeing Liu Xuxu’s shocked expression, Jiang You retorted, “What, is there a problem?”

Liu Xuxu was at a loss for words.

This was a gown designed by the famous designer Stars.

Her designs aren’t something you can just buy with money, especially when they are custom-tailored.

It’s almost as difficult as reaching the sky.

Did she just say sister-in-law?

Who is her sister-in-law?

It had never crossed her mind that it could be Su He, as Su He was exceedingly beautiful and extraordinary, not looking like someone who was married.

Liu Xuxu changed the topic slightly, she turned to Su He, smiled and politely said, “Hello, I am Jiang You’s senior at work, we are from the same company.

My name is Liu Xuxu, but you can just call me Xuxu.

It’s a pleasure to meet you, since you are a friend of Jiang You, you are my friend too.”

This overly familiar act took Jiang You and Su He by surprise.

Jiang You couldn’t help but admire her thick-skinned approach.

Su He was that type of coldly beautiful woman, dazzling even when not smiling but giving off an oppressive feel.

Her gaze turned slightly cold, and with a hint of indifference in her crisp voice, she looked at Liu Xuxu, “I’m sorry, miss, but I’m not familiar with you.”

Another implication of her words was: I also have no need to get to know you.

Jiang You twisted her exquisite eyebrows, remarking, “Liu Xuxu, has your brain gone fuzzy?”

Liu Xuxu didn’t expect Jiang You to insult her right away, her face instantly stiffened.

“Who is your friend?” Jiang You didn’t give her any face, her words sharp, “Your thick skin could almost match the Great Wall!”

Liu Xuxu, with reddening eyes, fumed, “Jiang You, you… you”

“What ‘you you you’?”

It was the first time Jiang You had seen such a shameless person.

Don’t think she didn’t know why Liu Xuxu suddenly came over to make courtesy—she simply wanted to cozy up to the people around her.

“Liu Xuxu, when you’re outside, I hope you can bring some brain.

Today’s occasion is not suitable for you to throw a tantrum!”

Jiang You hooked her red lips, a hint of a devilish smile, reminding her with sarcasm.

Although it was a reminder, to Liu Xuxu, it sounded full of mockery.

Suddenly, Liu Xuxu saw someone approaching and the anger and jealousy on her face instantly vanished, replaced by a pleasing expression.

Jiang, you’ve arrived ~”

She deliberately bumped against Jiang You and trotted forward a few steps.

Her eagerness left Jiang You speechless =_=

However, the next second, a familiar male voice came from behind.

Liu called me here; how could I not show up?”

Jiang Yue, ignoring the eyes of the crowd, swept Liu Xuxu into his arms and nonchalantly uttered a phrase.

Moreover, in front of everyone, he kissed Liu Xuxu on the forehead.

The people around paused when they saw this scene…

Jiang Yue was a member of the Jiang Family, and many people recognized him.

When Jiang You and Su He turned around, they saw Liu Xuxu lying in Jiang Yue’s arms.

Jiang You’s expression was complex, and she subconsciously furrowed her brow—an action that, in Liu Xuxu’s eyes, seemed fearful.

Consequently, she deliberately gave Jiang You a provocative look with her eyes.

Her defiant gaze, of course, was not missed by Jiang You.

However, Jiang You did not take it seriously, merely finding her childish!

Liu Xuxu, with a coquettish voice, said to Jiang Yue: “Mr.

Jiang, how about I introduce a friend to you?”

At this moment Jiang Yue hadn’t noticed Su He and Jiang You, he nodded and said teasingly: “Sure, baby.

Are you introducing someone as beautiful as you?”

His words were full of mockery.

Liu Xuxu pouted softly, “Annoying, isn’t having me enough for you?”

Jiang Yue smirked devilishly, his hand gripping her waist, giving a deliberate pinch on her soft flesh.

Liu Xuxu’s body trembled, as her waist was her most sensitive spot.

“Little waist beauty, your waist belongs to me tonight.”

Jiang Yue whispered into her ear, prompting Liu Xuxu to shyly dodge.

The two were blatantly flirting in public.

But no one dared say anything, after all, Jiang Yue was part of the Jiang Family.

Jiang, look, these are the friends I wanted to introduce to you.”

Liu Xuxu gestured toward Jiang You with a nod of her chin, and Jiang Yue followed her gaze.

Then, the next second, Jiang Yue was stunned, squinting his eyes, and said: “You’re introducing them to me?”

Liu Xuxu didn’t immediately notice the change in Jiang Yue’s expression, “Yeah.”

Jiang Yue asked again: “Are you sure you and they are friends?”

Liu Xuxu, though unsure why he asked that, still responded guiltily, “Um, I’ve just had some work conflicts with Jiang You recently, and our relationship is a bit strained.”

Jiang Yue wasn’t a fool, though he usually didn’t take things seriously, he could sense the underlying meaning in her words.

Besides, with Jiang You’s difficult temperament, would she be friends with someone as pretentious and fake as Liu Xuxu?

He’d sooner believe in ghosts than in this woman’s words!

Furthermore, Su He, that woman, was even less likely to be her friend.

They were simply not in the same league.

“You want me to back you up?” he asked casually.

Liu Xuxu didn’t answer directly, just shyly bit her lip, her intentions quite clear.

At that moment, Jiang Yue walked over to Jiang You and Su He, his arm still around Liu Xuxu.

Jiang You never liked her two cousins from her granduncle’s family, mainly because they were troublemakers, especially this second cousin who was always flirting around, his romantic history could probably stretch to the Great Wall!

The first thing Jiang Yue said as he approached was, “Yo, sister-in-law, why don’t I see my cousin?”

He was looking at Su He while he spoke; Jiang Yue was a year older than Jiang Yan.

Although he was older than Jiang Yan, he had neither the power nor the capability of Jiang Yan, but he didn’t care much for these titles and riches, as long as he had money.

However, when Liu Xuxu heard him say this, she froze—whom was he calling sister-in-law?

Su He glanced at him indifferently, and before she could speak, Jiang You spoke first: “Jiang Yue, you better put away your dirty thoughts, or be careful my brother will break your legs!”

Jiang You glared at him sharply, thinking he was not aware of what he was trying to do with his lecherous eyes!

Liu Xuxu, upon hearing Jiang You directly call out Jiang Yue’s full name, was in disbelief and foolishly stood up to defend Jiang Yue.

She said to Jiang You: “Sister Jiang You, how can you talk to Mr.

Jiang hasn’t done anything, your impulsive and quarrelsome nature needs to change, or it could cause a lot of trouble for the company.”

Jiang You just gave her a dismissive glance, not sure if to call her stupid or dumb!

“Jiang Yue, you love playing around, but when did your taste decline to this pitiful state?

What, any Tom, Dick, or Harry is fine for you, aren’t you ashamed for our Jiang Family!” Jiang You said.

Jiang Yue’s forehead twitched slightly: “…”

This damn girl had always been sharp-tongued since childhood, never considering his feelings, much less sparing him face as her cousin.

The sentence “We, the Jiang Family” made Liu Xuxu’s face instantly turn pale with fear.

She couldn’t bother whether Jiang You was scolding her or not.

It only now occurred to her that both Jiang You and Jiang Yue shared the surname Jiang; could they be…

When this thought flashed through her mind, a wave of panic rose from the depths of her heart.

At that moment, a small disturbance arose at the entrance.

Jiang Yan and Gu Beiyan appeared together.

Both men were handsome, with a commanding aura, and most importantly, both were powerful figures in Yue City, naturally attracting attention as soon as they appeared.

Upon entering, Jiang Yan began to look for a woman’s figure and quickly locked onto her, heading straight towards Su He.

Jiang You, noticing her own blood brother arriving, proactively let Su He pass.

Seeing Jiang Yan, Jiang Yue also let go of Liu Xuxu but, more accurately, pushed her away.

He acted as if he had seen a fearsome beast.

Although he was older than Jiang Yan, he still seemed somewhat cowardly in front of him.

At this very moment, Jiang You even tattled, “Brother, Jiang Yue is messing around outside without discipline, flirting with anyone and bothering me and sister-in-law.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yan’s narrow, deep black eyes glanced coldly at him, his low voice chillingly harsh: “Jiang Yue, if you still want a position at the company, restrain your mischievous heart!”

Jiang Yue stood silently at that moment, not daring to utter a sound.

Pushed away and standing aside, Liu Xuxu was completely petrified, trembling with fear and didn’t dare to move.

When Jiang You called the CEO of the Jiang Family “Brother,” doesn’t that mean she is the daughter of the Jiang Family?

Her mind exploded instantly, completely breaking down—it wasn’t stepping on an atomic bomb, but a hydrogen bomb!

Originally, she had delusional thoughts about using Jiang Yue to strike at Jiang You; yet, her plan hadn’t even started before it was completely crushed.

Jiang, wait for me, I didn’t do it on purpose just now, I really didn’t know about your relationship with Jiang You.”

Liu Xuxu, wearing high heels, chased after Jiang Yue.

Jiang Yue stopped, and she thought he was waiting for her.

Smiling, she ran up to him, but before she could reach him, she was kicked in the stomach by him and fell to the ground.

The man looked down at her from a height, his dark eyes filled with a sinister air: “Slut, who do you think you are?

You are nothing but a worn-out shoe, and you dare to compare yourself to Jiang You; you are not even worthy to carry her shoes!

From now on, do not contact me anymore, stay as far away as possible!”

Jiang Yue vented all the frustrations he received from Jiang Yan on Liu Xuxu.

If it wasn’t for her, he wouldn’t have come here today, and if he hadn’t come, he wouldn’t have encountered Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yue’s harsh words punctured Liu Xuxu’s heart like spears; she was both frightened and angry, trembling all over, yet unable to utter a single word.

She could only watch helplessly as Jiang Yue turned and left angrily.

She hung her head, her eyes red as she looked at the ground, her gaze also showing a fierce and resentful expression, as well as an unwillingness to accept her fate.

Later that night, Liu Xuxu’s agent, Huang Meng, received a notice of termination of endorsement from the DK jewelry brand she was contracted with.

She was bewildered, as she had been unable to attend today’s event and did not know what had happened, nor was there any news coverage, and Liu Xuxu hadn’t mentioned anything.

When Liu Xuxu heard the news, she was not surprised and showed no emotional fluctuations.

Huang Meng felt something was wrong because this didn’t match her usual style.

“Say something, why have you gone mute?”

Liu Xuxu, looking soulless, sat on the sofa and after a long while finally lifted her head and said, “Jiang You is the daughter of the Jiang Family.”

These words, when they reached Huang Meng’s ears, made her think she was hallucinating.

But seeing Liu Xuxu’s state, it didn’t seem fake.

At this moment, Huang Meng felt suddenly powerless to discuss the matter further.

This was the natural consequence of her own actions.

“You should just rest well at home for now.”

After saying this, Huang Meng left.

Liu Xuxu knew well that Huang Meng was not planning to deal with her situation anymore.

Her resentment grew even stronger…
