1548 What Should Come Should Come
She made a big show of it this time.
The guests began to arrive at eleven o’clock.
Ruan Sisi and some of her close friends had arrived early.
Tang Ning did not come.
However, Jiang Xianrou looked down on a small fry like Tang Ning now. In her eyes, she only looked up to those in the top circles in Beijing. The other circles had become insignificant in her eyes.
She might not even care about Ruan Sisi now, let alone Tang Ning. The Tang family was even more worthless to her.
Jiang Xianrou led the group in and arranged a seat at the back for them. After exchanging a few pleasantries with them, she went out to greet the other guests.
The Pharmacy Association’s reputation was obvious.
Many of the top families in Beijing more or less gave Jiang Xianrou face on the Pharmacy Association’s account.
No one from the Wei family came to Jiang Xianrou’s filiation banquet, but this time, Wei Ying specially came to welcome her.
Apart from her, Wei Ling and Shen Jingyan also came.
Ever since Old Master Wei passed away, the Wei family’s momentum had gradually weakened. However, Wei Mingxuan was quite capable. After this period of hard work, the Wei family gradually calmed down from the storm caused by Old Master Wei’s sudden death.
Wei Ying was pushed out of the family’s inner circle. However, Wei Mingxuan was a soft-hearted person. Wei Ying was his only biological sister, so he did not go too far.
At least he gave her some face.
Although Wei Ying’s status in the family was not as high as before, the Wei family was still one of the three most domineering families in Beijing.
A lean camel was still bigger than a horse.
She was definitely giving Jiang Xianrou enough face by taking the time to attend a junior’s welcoming banquet.
Jiang Xianrou was also sensible. She personally went with her mother to welcome Wei Ying, Wei Ling, and the others. She held her arm from afar and greeted the three of them warmly, “Grandma Wei, Aunt Wei, Uncle Shen.”
“Aiya, look at how sweet her mouth is. It’s so adorable.” Wei Ying was wearing a green modified cheongsam today. There was a matching emerald beaded necklace around her neck. At first glance, she looked elegant.
Unfortunately, there was no flesh on her face. On closer inspection, her eyes were fierce and her lips were thin. It was obvious that she was not a gentle elder.
She put on a loving expression in front of Jiang Xianrou and held her hand, then said gently, “Xianrou has grown up. I remember the last time I saw you, you had just entered Qing University. In the blink of an eye, you entered the Pharmacy Association.”
She tilted her head again and said to Tang Wanru gently, “Madam Jiang, you raised a good daughter!”
The last time Wei Ying saw Jiang Xianrou was the year the Jiang family gave Jiang Xianrou her coming-of-age ceremony.
That year, the Jiang family made a big scene for Jiang Xianrou and invited many famous people to participate.
Many people attended because of Old Master Jiang’s personal invitation.
Wei Ying was one of them.
Tang Wanru couldn’t stop smiling at her praise. She even said politely, “Old Madam, don’t praise her anymore. She still has a lot to learn.”
“If she still needs to improve despite entering the Pharmacy Association at her age, wouldn’t the others be too ashamed to live?” Wei Ying came this time on account of the Pharmacy Association.
“You’re very lucky to be able to enter the Pharmacy Association this time.” Since it was a compliment, she would definitely praise her to the end. Anyway, she wasn’t losing anything by praising her.
