The private room fell silent for a moment.

"Uncle Yu, please have a cup of tea first." Feng Hanjin poured a cup of Biluochun tea and respectfully handed it over with both hands.

Why was she begging Yu Jianguo for mercy? Xiao Ling's face stiffened, and she was about to speak when Feng Jingyao grabbed her arm, forcing her to swallow her words back.

Yu Jianguo lifted his eyelids. The girl diagonally opposite him had bright eyes and a sweet, sincere smile that was very easy to like.

His stern expression softened, and he smiled, "Thank you."

Seeing that the other person accepted the tea, Feng Hanjin's lips curled up even higher: "You don't need to be so polite with me."

She is indeed a well-behaved little girl.

Yu Jianguo pretended to lower his eyes and sip his tea, seemingly lost in thought.

According to Uncle Liu's account, Feng Hanjin visited the old house twice. The first time she was rather rude and barged into Wanwan's music room, the second time she was polite and humble, and even flew all the way from Liaocheng to inform Wanwan.

I never imagined that Xiao Ling, who is so selfish and self-serving, would have such sensible daughters. What a lucky life!

Yu Jianguo raised his head and, across the table, patiently looked at Feng Jingyao face to face, his tone unfriendly: "Feng, please speak your mind. After all, our relationship is too awkward. Your presence always reminds me of a cuckold on my head. If you stay too long, who knows what I might do."

Her words were barbed and scathing, leaving Xiao Ling feeling utterly ashamed and indignant, yet unable to refute them. It was true that she had met Feng Jingyao during her marriage and then swiftly divorced Yu Jianguo.

Feng Jingyao narrowed his eyes slightly: "After so many years, Mr. Yu really hasn't changed at all. He's still just as overly straightforward. Let me give you a piece of advice: the rigid are easily broken, while the flexible endure."

"Mr. Feng is indeed a cultured man. He speaks and acts with great skill. I admire him."

Feng Jingyao accepted the compliment without changing his expression. He took a sip of tea to moisten his throat and raised an eyebrow to ask, "When will Miss Yu arrive? After all, she is the main character of this family reunion banquet."

Yu Jianguo suppressed his anger: "What kind of kinship is this? I am an orphan, without father or mother, and without any relatives. I am Wanwan's only relative in this world. I don't know what Mr. Feng means by this."

"You, surnamed Yu, stop pretending with me." Xiao Ling couldn't help but think of Yu Wan's curses at the police station, saying she was "dead." A surge of anger rushed to her head, and she sneered, "Like father, like daughter. Look at Yu Wan's unruly character, disrespectful to elders, cheating on exams, fighting, and even calling a bunch of thugs brothers... You've corrupted our daughter. Let me tell you, the reason I'm here today is to take Yu Wan to Liaocheng, so she won't ruin her whole life by being with you."

"You dare!" Yu Jianguo slammed his fist on the table and stood up, his eyes wide with anger, his voice fierce and resolute: "I warn you not to have any crooked thoughts. If you dare to show your face in front of Wanwan, I will do whatever it takes to destroy the entire Feng family."

Xiao Ling was stunned by his sudden outburst of cold and fierce aura. Only now did she begin to re-examine her ex-husband. He was no longer the ordinary person who could be bullied and manipulated by others, but the head of a listed group with assets of tens of billions.

Although she was only intimidated for a moment, Xiao Ling still looked down on Yu Jianguo's mercenary air. She took a deep breath and said, "Why don't we ask Yu Wan's opinion? Who does she want to live with?"

She will give Yu Wan the best education, send her to the best schools abroad, and cultivate her into a noblewoman that everyone in high society envies.

These are things that Yu Jianguo cannot provide.

If Yu Wan is a smart person, she should know what the best choice is.

“No need, Wanwan will definitely choose me.” Yu Jianguo’s tone was very firm. He leaned back and changed the subject: “When you abandoned her, we made a three-point agreement that we would not disturb our father-daughter life from now on. I hope you will keep your word.”

Xiao Ling was furious: "I am also Yu Wan's mother. How can you be so heartless? What gives you the right to stop us from meeting?"

Yu Jianguo couldn't reason with her, so he turned to Feng Jingyao: "Master Feng is a businessman. He should keep his word, right?"

Feng Jingyao replied calmly, "Mr. Yu, please don't get agitated. My wife just wants to ask for Yu Wan's opinion and respect her choice. She is an adult and has the right to decide whether or not to acknowledge her biological mother."

Besides Xiao Ling, only Feng Hanjin knew that Xiao Ling and Yu Wan had already met, and that Yu Wan had no intention of acknowledging her mother. She turned to look at Feng Jingyao, opened her mouth, but didn't know how to say it.

"Impossible." Yu Jianguo rolled up his sleeves.

He absolutely cannot allow this selfish woman to hurt his daughter again.

Feng Jingyao sneered, "It seems we can't reach an agreement."

The atmosphere was tense and ready to fight.

Seeing that things were not going well, Feng Hanjin quietly took out her phone and sent a message to Yu Wan asking for help.

-

Yu Wan received the text message just as she came out of the bathroom.

She stared at the screen for over ten seconds, her brows furrowed with a mixture of coldness and irritation, still unable to understand. If that woman, Xiao Ling, despised her for bringing shame upon her, why did she still acknowledge her as a friend?

Yu Wan put her phone back in her pocket and pushed open the door to the 2014 private room.

"Sister, you're here." Feng Hanjin, who was sitting restlessly, saw the bright and beautiful girl walking in through the door.

She wore a black sweater that accentuated her slender waist. The sleeves were rolled up several times, making her wrists appear even whiter and more delicate.

"Tsk, it's quite lively." Yu Wan leaned against the door, raised her chin with a roguish air, and said sarcastically, "What? You've gathered four people to play mahjong?"

The remaining three all looked up at the same time.

Under the lights, the girl's gaze was icy and cold.

"Wanwan, what are you doing here?" Yu Jianguo frowned. "Wait, who notified you?"

Feng Hanjin subconsciously tightened her fingers.

Yu Wan glanced at her, then looked back at Yu Jianguo and explained, "I'm eating next door."

Upon hearing this, Yu Jianguo frowned even more deeply: "The soundproofing in this shabby restaurant is terrible."

Yu Wan nodded without changing her expression, then walked over, pulled out a chair to Yu Jianguo's right, sat down, and tapped her fingers lightly on the armrest. She turned her head and asked, "Old man, I heard you wanted me to come and acknowledge my relatives? Acknowledge what relatives? Could it be... you've found me a stepmother?"

"Cough cough..."

Yu Jianguo choked on his tea and coughed until his face turned red.

As Yu Wan patted his back, she glanced at Xiao Ling and said, "I should have made things very clear to Mrs. Feng that day, so why is Mrs. Feng still making a fuss?" After a pause, she suddenly realized and said, "Or is it that you think the 50 million my lawyer offered is not enough, and you want more alimony?"

The air froze instantly. Having successfully seen Xiao Ling's expression change, Yu Wan smiled and said, "Since everyone is here, Mrs. Feng, please name your price."

Arrogant, and sarcastic.
