Chapter 764: Cannon Fodder in the Real World (Part 10)
Certainly! Here is the translated text:

What do you do when your real-life partner is even more impressive than those in the mission world?
Little Buding wishes he could start a thread on the system forum and write exclusively about his years spent with Jiang Lai.
But on second thought, if other systems covet her, he definitely wouldn’t be able to compete with those insiders who get in through connections.
Forget it, better to simply keep Jiang Lai hidden away.
On the third month after Jiang Lai woke up, which was two months before her twenty-second birthday, Jiang Li, who had always tried to keep Jiang Lai at home, surprisingly asked if she wanted to attend a party.
This was the second time he had come to see her in three months.
The first time was when Jiang Lai woke up.
After that, he hadn’t shown up again.
Well, he’s now a company’s general manager, so it’s understandable that he’s busy.
Not giving Jiang Lai a chance to refuse, he directly sent people over with a dress and jewelry.
Jiang Lai glanced at them, then looked at the assistant who delivered the clothes, and said with a cold expression.
"Is this the outfit your boss sent?"
The assistant hadn’t met Jiang Lai, but could vaguely sense that her identity was special, so he respectfully replied.
"Yes, this was custom-made by the boss for you, the jewelry is matching too."
"Forget it, go back and tell your boss that I’ve received the clothes."
After saying this, Jiang Lai didn’t even spare a glance before turning around to leave, leaving the assistant looking at her with a puzzled expression.
He was new, and only knew that there was a Miss in the family, who accompanied the boss to various parties and banquets every day.
So who was this person?
What kind of identity lets her live in the Jiang Family’s private castle? And to have the boss personally send clothes over?
Though puzzled, he didn’t dare look too much or ask around, after delivering the items he left.
Just after a meeting, Jiang Li saw him return and casually asked.
"How is she doing now?"
"Boss, the lady is doing well, she was very happy upon receiving your clothes."
"No need for your own assumptions; whether she’s happy or not, I know very well."
That arrogant sister of mine; there’s no way she’d be happy over just some clothes and jewelry.
Most likely, she’s currently nitpicking them with disdain.
And indeed, Jiang Lai was showing disdain but wasn’t nitpicking; instead she threw the clothes into the wardrobe and wandered around in her pajamas.
Her wardrobe was vast, from front to back there were seven corners, each one seemingly endless.
Inside were packed with the world’s most luxurious jewelry and clothes; walking inside felt like a maze, those unfamiliar might easily get confused.
Jiang Lai strolled around and ultimately picked a matched evening gown and accessories for herself.
This outfit was a modified version of an iconic look worn by a famous American actress from the 1990s; it was one of a kind, acquired by her grandfather at a high price during an auction and gifted to her.
The dress was beautiful, a red satin form-fitting gown with a blooming rose at the back, the train gracefully dragged on the floor as Jiang Lai moved.
The strapless design was also very demanding on the wearer’s figure.
Naturally, this dress was tailored to fit Jiang Lai’s figure, every stitch crafted to match her curves.
After many years, it still fit her perfectly.
Jiang Lai herself was slightly surprised; after lying down for so many years, her figure hadn’t changed at all.
According to Jiang Family’s backstabbing members, there’s no way they took proper care of her.
So how she managed to maintain her figure all these years felt as if someone had been secretly taking care of her all along...
Jiang Lai didn’t give herself the chance to think more about these things.
After choosing her outfit and putting on the jewelry, she pinned up her years-long untrimmed long hair with a ruby hairpin.
The party was about to begin, once she got in the car, Jiang Lai looked at the invitation card in front and chuckled softly.
An ordinary invitation card.
The Jiang Family brothers were quite interesting, such naïve low-grade antics; apart from Jiang Zhuan, there’s no one else who would think of this.
Meanwhile, another car departed from a city villa.
Inside, Jiang Xun and Jiang Zhuan sat together; one with a blank expression, the other all smiles.
Jiang Zhuan looked at Jiang Xun’s gloomy face and couldn’t help but smirk.
"Follow through with the bet, what’s wrong? Don’t like dancing with your precious sister?"
Jiang Xun shot him a cold glance.
"Stop being smug when you get the advantage, otherwise don’t expect my help next time."
"Don’t be so petty, this time I’ll be Huanhuan’s dance partner; next time you get to be, okay?"
This time just tolerate it; in front of so many people, Jiang Lai won’t bully you."
Jiang Zhuan’s tone was still mocking.
Jiang Xun was already too lazy to bother arguing more.
He could tolerate it, just didn’t want to get too close to Jiang Lai.
He also wanted to be Jiang Huan’s dance partner but had no choice - a bet’s a bet.
The brothers had bet before leaving home; if the first car seen was white, Jiang Huan’s dance partner would be Jiang Xun; if black, the partner would be Jiang Zhuan.
Then the car turned a corner, and there was a black car parked at the roadside.
Jiang Zhuan laughed with triumph.
And Jiang Xun controlled his emotions all the way until the party venue.
Jiang Huan and Jiang Che arrived in one car, while Jiang Li and Jiang Qi came separately from the company.
Upon arriving at the venue first and seeing the twins, Jiang Huan waved to them.
Jiang Zhuan stepped forward, taking Jiang Huan’s hand and hooked it onto his arm.
"Your dance partner today is me."
Jiang Huan smiled and looked at Jiang Xun.
"Brother A Xun, what about you? If you don’t have a dance partner, I don’t mind dancing with both of you.
I’ve recently learned group dances so at that time, if anyone’s without a partner, I can step in and help."
Jiang Zhuan escorted her with a meaningful chuckle.
"Don’t worry, your fourth brother already has a partner."
Jiang Xun squeezed out a smile, then rolled his eyes at Jiang Zhuan and prepared to hide in a room to dodge the party.
Just then, a car stopped at the party entrance.
Judging by the license plate, it was a Jiang Family car.
Jiang Zhuan saw it too and grabbed Jiang Xun who was about to escape.
"Where are you going? Your dance partner’s here; aren’t you going over to greet her?"
"Jiang Zhuan, I’ve given you Huanhuan, don’t push your luck."
"Once again, follow through with the bet; not accepting the consequences isn’t yielding.
Oh look, Jiang Lai is getting out of the car."
Jiang Xun awkwardly looked over, then a figure in a bright red slowly stepped out of the car, wearing an eye-catching bold red dress, deep blue diamond-studded high heels graced her delicate feet, as her slender legs peeked in and out with the movement of the red dress.
She walked slowly; her raven hair elegantly pinned behind her head, her long white neck was delicately swan-like, the understated yet luxurious blue sapphire exuded a noble and graceful aura.
