"I really don't want to go."

Mother Jiang stood in a formal dress with an invitation in hand, her expression slightly stiff.

By choosing a different business partner, the Jiang family has made their stance unmistakably clear to both sides.

They no longer wanted any ties with the Fu family. At this point, the cancellation was only a matter of time.

If the Jiang family showed up at Mr. Fu's birthday banquet now, it would only be awkward.

Worse, Mr. Fu might take the opportunity to deliberately humiliate them.

"Let's go. Not going isn't an option. At worst, we'll have a fallout in public."

Father Jiang's expression turned serious as well. It was clear he felt the weight of this banquet too.

Mother Jiang sighed deeply, "Alas."

Tang Tang was even more tense and alert than the Jiang couple.

He would never forget that everything began at the birthday banquet, all the nightmares of his previous life started there.
