Everyone trembled violently, and countless eyes instinctively turned towards the entrance of the hall.

From the direction of the main entrance, the backlight outlined Hu Lizhanting's tall and imposing figure. His exquisitely tailored black suit was perfectly pressed, his thin lips were tightly pursed, and his face was cold and stern. Even from a distance, the powerful and oppressive aura unique to those in power was enough to make one feel breathless.

Li Mingde shuddered violently. In the past, Li Zhanting almost never attended the Li family banquets.

Why did he have to appear at the Li family's house this time of all?!

Li Zhanting's cold, piercing gaze swept across the hall, instantly silencing the entire space.

The reason they dared to openly follow Li Mingde's arrangements was that they were certain Li Zhanting would spend time with his son as usual. But who would have thought that Li Zhanting would act unpredictably this time?!

When Li Zhanting looked at Li Zixiao behind him, a subtle hint of gentleness appeared in his eyes:

"Zixiao, it seems the elders here are really looking forward to your arrival. Come out and show yourself to them."

After saying that, Li Zixiao and Li Qingling appeared in front of everyone, holding Gu Momo's hand.

In that instant, almost everyone's attention was drawn to Gu Momo and Li Zixiao at the door!

Today, Li Zixiao specially wore a dark black suit with a bow tie. Although his youthful face still had a childlike quality, his cool and stern appearance exuded rationality and maturity.

His thin lips were tightly pursed, and at such a young age he already possessed a ruthless aura reminiscent of Li Zhanting.

This doesn't look like someone about to step into a coffin at all.

He's perfectly healthy!

His cold, stern face tightened slightly, as if he disliked the Li family's demeanor. "I didn't die. It seems I really have disappointed you."

Li Mingde's family and Old Master Li stared in astonishment, while Li Qinghao slammed his fist on the table in a fit of rage.

"Dad! What's going on? Isn't this sickly man supposed to be terminally ill? Why is he standing here perfectly fine?!"

Gu Momo casually raised an eyebrow, then looked at Li Mingde with a wry smile, "Oh? Sickly fellow?"

It seemed that everyone's attention was finally focused on Gu Momo, who was dressed in a clean and elegant snow-white gauze dress. The simple and elegant design, combined with her crystal-clear and radiant face, made her look even more refined and otherworldly.

Wait, where have I seen this person before?

She seems to be Gu Momo, the infamous young lady from the Gu family five years ago...

Li Mingde had never been provoked like this before, and he was furious:

"What else could he be but a sickly man?! Doctors all over the world say he won't live past seven. Maybe this is just a final burst of energy before death. How can you expect him to inherit the Li family business?!"

A murderous glint flashed in Gu Momo's eyes.

Startled by his words, Li Mingde jolted awake and quickly pulled Li Qinghao into his seat.

"You bastard! Sit down! Do you know what you're saying?!"

If Li Zixiao is truly beyond saving, then they should just take the opportunity to kick him out of the Li family!

But now Li Zixiao's symptoms seem to have completely disappeared, and Li Zhanting is known for being fiercely protective of his own. If they continue to make noise here, they're just asking for death!

Before anyone could understand why Gu Momo was there, Gu Shanshan, her eyes bloodshot, stood up from her seat:

"Gu Momo! Why are you standing next to Master Ting? Oh, you were already having an affair with that scumbag five years ago, and now you're still trying to seduce Master Ting? Have you no shame?!"

Her words immediately piqued the curiosity of the wealthy guests:

"Wait a minute, wasn't there a news report that Zixiao's mother was the eldest daughter of the Rong family? So Gu Momo is now hooking up with Master Ting... is she trying to compete with the eldest daughter of the Rong family for the position of Mrs. Li?"

"My God! This is so shameless! She's been messing around for five years now, how dare she seduce Master Ting?"

Many of the wealthy young ladies who secretly admired Li Zhanting at the scene were devastated:

"Gu Momo! What do you mean? Do you think someone like you can even pursue Master Ting?!"

When Mr. Ting publicly revealed his affair with Miss Rong, the young ladies from prestigious families were already devastated.

They can't beat the eldest daughter of the prestigious Rong family, so surely they can't beat this piece of trash Gu Momo!

Gu Momo: "..."

Speechless. How can someone get caught in the crossfire while standing still?

If she had known that Li Zhanting had so many female fans, she would have just handed him over to them.

Li Zhanting frowned. Just as he was about to say something, the two adorable children, Li Zixiao and Li Qingling, stepped in front of Gu Momo.

Li Qingling's childish yet domineering voice declared, "It was Daddy who pursued Mommy! Daddy is so clumsy and stupid, Mommy wouldn't even look at him! Humph, don't even think about slandering my Mommy!"

Li Zhanting: "..."

My dear daughter, it's good that you're helping your mommy, but how can you belittle your own father like that?

Li Zixiao frowned. "I can testify that it was Daddy who pursued the beautiful auntie, and he even wanted her to be our mommy's. My mommy is also a victim."

Li Zhanting: ? ? ? ?

Everyone: ? ? ? ?

Holy crap! That's amazing!

What did they hear?

How could Ting Ye, such a cold, aloof, and abstinent man who doesn't get close to women, actually take the initiative to pursue Gu Momo?

And instead of ignoring these proud young ladies with their great figures, he set his sights on a worthless woman who had been defiled?

So, in Master Ting's heart, they were actually not as good as Gu Momo, that piece of trash?
