The butler was slightly taken aback and asked in confusion, "Yes, Mr. Canran, that's Gu Momo. Do you only know Gu Momo?"

Mr. Canran's lips curled into a sinister smirk, but his expression was impeccably disguised.

"Of course, we have a very close relationship!"

Gu Momo was being pulled to sit down by Gu Jingxing and Li Qingling when she suddenly felt a strong gaze fall on her. She turned her head and met Mr. Canran's furious eyes. She couldn't help but smile playfully.

She pretended not to recognize Mr. Canran and asked, "Oh, sir, do you need something from me?"

Before Mr. Canran could react, Li Qingling couldn't help but pout and complain, "Brother, this weird uncle looks so fierce. He doesn't look like a good person at all."

Gu Jingxing quickly patted Li Qingling's back, "Be good, little sister. He'll go blind sooner or later if he looks at people like that."

Mr. Canran was so angry that he felt a surge of rage. He strode to the front of the hall and said to Old Master Li with an air of righteous indignation:

"Mr. Li, it's not that I'm deliberately targeting Gu Momo, but Gu Momo simply doesn't deserve to attend the Li family's banquet!"

"Among the guests present, besides the renowned medical experts from Kyoto, are young ladies and gentlemen from prominent families, all of high status and position. As for Gu Momo? She was already infamous five years ago, and now she is utterly worthless. What right does she have to attend this banquet?"

His voice was stern and every word sounded like he was thinking about the big picture, but wasn't he just looking for an opportunity to embarrass Gu Momo?

Gu Shanshan, who was standing to the side, felt extremely pleased. What he said was absolutely right!

Seeing that many people at the banquet wanted to kill Gu Momo, she instantly felt relieved!

She felt instantly relieved and quickly gave a wink to one of the maids beside her.

The maid immediately understood and quickly took the teapot and walked to Gu Momo. "Miss Momo, your cup is empty. Let me refill it for you."

A deep smile curved Gu Momo's eyes. She glanced at Gu Shanshan's teacup first, and seeing that it was empty, she picked it up herself.

"Okay, then pour some for Shanshan too."

The maid nodded. "Yes."

As he spoke, the maid hurriedly poured tea for Gu Momo, and no one else could see the powder that had fallen from his sleeve into Gu Momo's cup.

Seeing that the maid's hands seemed to be trembling slightly, Gu Momo smiled and said, "I can pour the rest of the water myself."

After saying that, she took the teapot, filled her teacup with water, and then returned the teapot to the maid. "Hey, could you pour some for Shanshan too? Since we're good sisters, of course we should share the good times and the bad."

The maid could only go back and fill up the water for Gu Shanshan as well. Gu Shanshan looked at the smile on Gu Momo's face and couldn't help but feel smug.

Gu Momo, let's see how long you can stay smug!

At this moment, the crowd in the hall erupted in excitement:

"Indeed, everyone attending the banquet today is a prominent figure."

"What makes Gu Momo so special?"

"Oh? Is that so?" Li Zhanting sat quietly beside Gu Momo, his well-defined fingers gently toying with a white jade thumb ring, a chilling smile playing on his lips.

"Gu Momo is my woman, Li Zhanting's woman, the rightful eldest daughter-in-law of the Li family. You're telling me... she's not worthy of being in the Li family?"

Gu Momo was enjoying the tea that the maid had just poured for her when she heard this sound and almost spat it out!

She slammed her hand on the table and stood up abruptly. "Hey! Li Zhanting, you fucking explain yourself! Who the hell is your woman?"

Li Zhanting remained calm and composed. "Oh, it's nothing. You can put it another way: I'm your man."

Gu Momo was so angry she almost vomited blood on the spot; she was just one step away from slapping his handsome face!

Does this guy have any shame?

"Li Zhanting, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. When did you become my man?"

Li Zhanting elegantly brushed off non-existent dust from his sleeves, a wicked smile playing on his lips:

"Five years ago! You slept with me, and you still want to shirk responsibility?"

Gu Momo: ? ? ? ?

Damn it, explain yourself! Who slept with whom?

Of course, she could never say those words out loud!

These words immediately ignited the guests' gossip-loving instincts. Wow, what explosive news!

You two are arguing so happily, why don't you just do a live stream? We can charge for it!

Gu Shanshan, sitting in the guest seat, was so angry she wanted to grind her teeth. Master Ting had actually acknowledged Gu Momo, so what about her?

She is the benefactor of the Li family!

She couldn't hold it in any longer and quickly stood up, but fearing she would ruin her image, her delicate face immediately broke into a smile:

"Yes, Mr. Ting, it doesn't seem right for you to say that. How could Zixiao and Ling'er be Momo's children? Mr. Ting, have you forgotten? If Zixiao and Ling'er's mother hadn't abandoned them, I wouldn't have found these two children..."

Her words were tantamount to pushing Gu Momo into the eye of the storm. If Gu Momo admitted that she was Zixiao and Ling'er's mother, it would be tantamount to admitting that she was the one who abandoned Zixiao and Ling'er back then.

Old Master Li's face was cold. "Not bad!"

"Zixiao is indeed a child of the Li family, but the Li family will never acknowledge Zixiao and Ling'er's mother! She threw Zixiao and Ling'er away with her own hands back then, how dare she step into our Li family again! I've seen too many vain women like this!"

Li Zhanting's deep, ocean-like eyes instantly hardened with a cold light. He stood up, his imposing aura directly confronting that of the old man sitting in the seat: "Ha! The woman I marry is of course my own decision. Who do you think you are?"

"You... Li Zhanting, you!" Old Master Li was so angry at Li Zhanting's cold tone that he felt a tightness in his chest.

He seemed unable to catch his breath, as if he was about to kick the bucket and meet his maker.

Gu Momo took a sip of tea, then looked at Old Master Li with feigned shock. "Oh, judging from your appearance, if I'm not mistaken, you probably have quite a few cancer cells in your body, right? You'd better be careful, getting angry can accelerate the division of cancer cells..."

Old Master Li was furious; Gu Momo was publicly cursing him to die!

Gu Shanshan feigned anxiety, saying, "Mo Mo, how could you do this? Grandpa Li is, after all..."

Gu Momo interrupted her with a wry smile, "Don't be in such a hurry, your good show is about to begin, isn't it?"

Gu Shanshan was momentarily stunned. "Wha...what kind of good show?"

She had barely finished speaking when she suddenly felt as if countless ants were crawling into her internal organs. She frantically touched herself, "What's happening? My body hurts so much..."

Li Mingyue was the first to notice Gu Shanshan's unusual behavior. "Gu Shanshan, what are you doing?!"

Gu Shanshan was someone she had carefully cultivated and intended to be placed by Li Zhanting's side. If Gu Shanshan were to become useless, wouldn't all her efforts be in vain?
