Puffed-up after Giving Birth to a Wealthy Man’s Heir

In the fifteenth year after he was mixed up at birth by a mistake, Yi Wei was taken back by his biological parents.

But the title of being the treasure of his parents, his eldest brother’s ...

Chapter 14 A Banquet with a Special Meaning

These days, after Yi Wei went to Gu Yueshan's company, Secretary Wu would assign him some simple tasks to complete, and he spent most of the rest of his time studying in the lounge.

Yi Wei felt thirsty, so he picked up the teacup and prepared to get a glass of warm water. Just as he stood up, the door of the lounge was pushed open. He turned around and saw Gu Yueshan, who was wearing glasses, walking in. He panicked and dropped the teacup to the ground.

"What's wrong?" Gu Yueshan walked towards Yi Wei and asked as he looked at Yi Wei's panicked look.

"No, it's nothing. I didn't hold it firmly... I accidentally dropped it." Yi Wei was so flustered that he didn't notice that a piece of the teacup was broken and was about to pick it up.

"Don't pick it up!" Gu Yueshan walked quickly towards Yi Wei.

Yi Wei stared at him in shock, holding the broken teacup.

Gu Yueshan took Yi Wei's teacup and put it on the table, then held his hand and looked at it carefully.

"My hand is fine." Yi Wei carefully observed Gu Yueshan's expression. Because they were too close and Gu Yueshan was holding his hand, he became even more nervous, but he still asked, "Are you going back so early today?"

"I have to go to a meeting that won't end until very late. Didn't you say you were going to have dinner with Mrs. Miller today?" Seeing that Yi Wei's hand was not hurt, Gu Yueshan let go of his hand.

"Oh, yes!" Yi Weiyi forgot about it because he was nervous: "I made an appointment with my mother to go to Mi's house for dinner today."

"Then you don't have to wait for me. Let the driver take you there." Gu Yueshan looked at him and said, "I'm going to a meeting."

"Okay." Yi Wei nodded.

Gu Yueshan glanced at Yi Wei again before turning around and walking out.

Watching Gu Yueshan turn and leave, Yi Wei's heart was still beating rapidly because of the nervousness just now. He sighed, calmed himself down, then packed up his things and set off for the Mi family.

Michelle Yim is a mixed-race girl. She is the eldest daughter of Mr. Mi and has two full brothers and two half brothers. After her mother divorced Mr. Mi, she took her to live abroad. However, her mother and Mr. M divorced peacefully, and there was no quarrel or anything like that. When Michelle was young, she went back to the Mi family several times every year. Later, as she grew older and became busier with her studies, she went back less often. After she started working, she was so busy that she didn't even have time to go back to her and her husband's home, let alone go back to the Mi family.

After Michelle and her husband got into the accident, Mr. Mi wanted to take her back to take care of her, but Michelle was unwilling to leave her home with her husband. Mr. Mi was anxious and worried, but there was nothing he could do. Now that Michelle is willing to return to the Mi family, Mr. Mi is naturally happy.

During the time since Mi Xue returned to China, Yi Wei had been to Mi's house several times and was familiar with the place, so he went straight there.

Yi Wei was stunned for a moment after entering the hall, because the layout of the hall looked like a very grand banquet was about to take place.

Wei asked doubtfully, "Mom, are we going to have a banquet at home today? It's so grand, is it an important day?"

"It was an important day then." Michelle smiled and said, "Today is your twentieth birthday."

Yi Wei was stunned for a moment, then he remembered that today was his birthday. He had been completely immersed in studying these days and had forgotten his birthday. Plus, he hadn't celebrated his actual birthday in the past few years, so he was a little unable to react for a while.

"This is a birthday party specially prepared for you," Michelle said with a smile, "But it seems that you must have forgotten that today is your birthday, right?"

"It's true that I forgot, but as for the birthday party... it seems a bit too grand, right?" Yi Wei felt a little embarrassed. In the past few years since he returned to China, he hadn't come to the Yi family to say hello properly. Not only did the people of the Mi family accept him without making a fuss, they were also helping him organize such a grand birthday party.

"Twenty years old is a birthday, so it's only right to have a grand celebration. What's more, today has a special meaning. It's a good opportunity to let everyone in the Mi family know that you are the Mi family's grandson." Before returning to China, Mi Xue told her father that she wanted to hold a birthday party for Yi Wei. Originally, she wanted to celebrate Yi Wei's birthday with her family and some relatives and friends. Her father agreed. But a few days ago, Gu Yueshan personally talked to her father for a long time. She didn't know what they talked about specifically, nor was she very clear about what they agreed on, but she was sure that their conversation and agreement were beneficial to Yi Wei, and this birthday party became so grand, it must be Gu Yueshan's idea.

After Yi Wei greeted Grandpa Mi and several uncles, Michelle Mi took his hand and asked him to sit down. Grandpa Mi was a very kind man. He asked him some questions about study, and Yi Wei answered them one by one. The uncles were all very gentle people. They didn't act like elders when treating him and other younger generations, and they were very interested in the topics that young people talked about.

He had only been to the Mi family a few times, but he already felt like he was home. However, after spending several years at the Yi family, he still felt like he couldn't fit in. The main reason was that Yi Wei could feel that the Mi family truly welcomed and accepted him, and his biological parents could not show any closeness to him out of consideration for Yi Xuan's feelings, not to mention Yi Bo who had hated him since he returned to the Yi family.

Yi Wei likes the family atmosphere of the Mi family very much. If she was not pregnant and married to Gu Yueshan, Yi Wei might have stayed at the Mi family. However, he and Gu Yueshan were already in a legal marriage relationship. Moreover, he was pregnant, so it would be safer and more reassuring for him to stay with Gu Yueshan.

As the banquet was about to start, the guests arrived one after another. Everyone in the Mi family went to entertain the guests. Yi Wei sat with Mi Xue and chatted. After all, he didn't know these guests. Although Michelle Yim has not returned to the Mi family for many years, this does not affect her status and importance in the Mi family. Therefore, relatives who have not seen each other for many years all bring their children to greet Michelle Yim.

At the same time, Gu Heng and Yi Xuan's engagement party has already begun.

Zhao Zhen, Yi Hong, and Yi Bo were also helping to greet the guests. Taking advantage of the time they were moving, Zhao Zhen said to Yi Hong, "I heard that the Mi family is also going to hold a banquet today, and they have invited quite a few people. Why did they choose today? Do you think they did it on purpose?"

"Whether they hold a banquet or not has nothing to do with us, and it doesn't affect us. Why should we care about them?" Yi Hong said indifferently: "Even if there are many overlapping people between our two families, it is the Gu family that is holding the engagement banquet today. Who would be stupid enough to go to the Mi family instead of here if they can attend the Gu family's engagement banquet?"

"That's true." Zhao Zhen smiled and nodded, then continued to greet the guests with Yi Hong.

Jiang Shuqin walked over to Xu Hua and whispered, "Mom, the engagement ceremony is about to begin, why hasn't my uncle come yet?"

"I just called, and Secretary Wu said he's still in a meeting." Xu Hua said, "He'll definitely come over as soon as the meeting is over."

"What important meeting has to be held today?" Jiang Shuqin couldn't help complaining, "My only nephew is getting engaged, but my uncle hasn't shown up yet. What will the guests think?"

Xu Hua lowered his voice and said, "Of course it's because of an important meeting that can't be delayed that he's late. Go and entertain the guests."

"Yes." Although Jiang Shuqin was dissatisfied, she did not dare to say anything more. She could only continue to greet the guests with a smile. However, apart from being slightly dissatisfied with Gu Yueshan's late arrival today, she was very happy overall. After all, that great master said that as long as Gu Heng and Yi Xuan were together, everything would go as they wished.

At the Mi family's side, Grandpa Mi personally introduced Yi Wei to all the guests as their grandson of the Mi family. The guests presented birthday gifts one after another and the banquet was in full swing.

"Yi Wei."

Yi Wei turned around, looked at the person who called him and asked, "Why are you here?"

"What do you mean I'm here too?" Sun Qi pretended to be unhappy and said, "I was specially invited to attend your birthday party."

Yi Wei smiled and said, "I just didn't know that your family had a relationship with the Mi family. You are welcome to come."

"Our family does have some friendship with the Mi family, but I was invited alone as your friend, not with my family." Sun Qi looked at Yi Wei and said in a serious tone: "And I also have the important responsibility of accompanying you to receive gifts and blessings."

Yi Wei was stunned for a moment. The protagonist of a birthday party usually has a few close friends around him, but in this country, except Sun Qi who could barely be considered a friend, he has no other friends. The Mi family even considered this for him, and his heart was moved again.

"Today's banquet is really grand." Sun Qi stood beside Yi Wei and said with a smile, "It is definitely not smaller than the engagement banquet of Gu Heng and Yi Xuan. Look over there, even Director Yu of Shengxin and Director Yuan of Changxu are here. I was quite surprised when I saw them just now. They didn't go to the Gu family's engagement banquet, but came to your birthday party. They really gave face to the Mi family."

Yi Wei stared at that place in a daze for a moment. He remembered that these two people seemed to have a good relationship with Gu Yueshan. Could it be that they have an even better relationship with the Mi family?

Because time could not be wasted, Gu Heng and Yi Xuan's engagement ceremony had already begun. Xu Hua and Jiang Shuqin kept looking at the door because Gu Yueshan had not arrived yet.

Until the ceremony was over, Gu Yueshan did not show up, and the smiles on Xu Hua and Jiang Shuqin's faces began to look forced. When they saw Secretary Wu and his men walking in quickly, although they were still unhappy about Gu Yueshan's lateness, they were relieved that he had come after all.

"Madam." Secretary Wu walked quickly to Xu Hua.

"Where is Yue Shan?" Xu Hua looked towards the door.

"Because something happened in the overseas company, the chairman has gone abroad. The chairman asked me to send a gift to congratulate Master Gu Heng on his engagement." Secretary Wu raised his hand and asked the person behind him to deliver the gift. Then he bent down again and said, "Sorry, the company has important things to deal with. I'll leave first."

Looking at Secretary Wu who came and left in a hurry, Xu Hua and Jiang Shuqin looked unhappy for a while. Because there were so many guests, the two people who cared about their reputation had to force a smile and pretend that nothing had happened.

Yi Xuan didn't know whether he should be happy or sad. On the one hand, he didn't want to get engaged to Gu Heng in front of Gu Yueshan, but if Gu Yueshan didn't come, it would mean that Gu Heng was not valued by Gu Yueshan, and the possibility of him becoming the heir would be much smaller.

Yi Hong and Zhao Zhen looked at each other, and they were worried that Gu Heng's position as the most likely heir had been shaken.
