At this moment, he exuded an aura of dominance, displaying the air of a king who looked down upon the world.

"I am Fu Jue."

A deafening roar of exclamations and applause erupted instantly, like a tidal wave.

Yes, those four words alone drove the girls at the scene wild.

Fu Jue made a shushing gesture, and the room fell silent instantly.

"I am very happy to attend the Gu family's 60th anniversary celebration gala, and I welcome everyone to attend this gala. It is a great honor to see you all tonight."

Qingqing is my recently adopted sister, as many of you have probably heard. The Gu family is like half my family, and naturally, the Fu family is half her family too. I hope everyone will treat my little one with kindness. She's still young and doesn't understand things yet, so please forgive her if she offends anyone.

He spoke in one breath, but in a calm and unhurried manner.

His tone was calm, but his words were boastful.

It was practically a warning to the guests present not to bully Gu Qingqing, threatening them not to hold it against her even if she did something bad, otherwise they would be going against Fu Jue.

Gu Qingqing's face was flushed and her heart was pounding. She really wanted to get off the stage and find somewhere to hide.

Why did Master Fu say such things on stage?

She's not a little kid anymore.

She'll protect herself. Who dares to bully her? She'll kick them away with a whirlwind kick, leaving them either dead or crippled.

The scene fell silent once again.

Fu Jue didn't say anything more and led Gu Qingqing off the stage. Before leaving, he gave the guests a meaningful look, which contained a hint of probing, a warning, and a provocation.

Gu Jin took the microphone and said something to ease the tension. Light and elegant music started playing, and six or seven dancers went on stage to perform a dance.
