"You better behave yourself." Upon hearing this, Sikong Qingtian gave Shangguan Liuli a fierce warning, then took Dongfang Mei's hand and went to meet their business partners.

Logically speaking, at this time, the person he should be bringing is his rightful wife, Shangguan Liuli.

But Sikong Qingtian was a lustful man.

In his eyes, there were only women; fame was irrelevant.

He didn't care about any of that; all he needed was a woman.

"Sister, we're leaving now. Take good care of yourself!" Dongfang Mei said as she walked, then suddenly turned around and teased Shangguan Liuli.

Shangguan Liuli was furious. She went to the side, took a sip of water, and then regained her composure.

When Song Qingqing arrived, Shangguan Liuli had just finished venting her anger.

"Qingqing, stay close to your mother and don't wander off, okay?" Wang Manni said to Song Qingqing, who was beside Shangguan Weimin, as she led her.

Looking at the magnificent Sikong mansion, Song Qingqing calmed her excitement and nodded, "Okay."

Sikong Xingchen, I've come to find you.

With the eagerness to see Sikong Xingchen in mind, Song Qingqing followed Wang Manni's movements and slowly walked inside with her.

The appearance of two stunning beauties at the same time is bound to be extraordinary.

Upon her appearance, she immediately attracted the attention of everyone present.

Wang Manni's beauty is well-known in Kyoto's social circles.

However, the beauty isn't very bright.

In her early years, she trusted a poor boy from the countryside and married him, but divorced him and returned home after only a few years.

She then married Shangguan Weimin, who had always loved her.

Shangguan Weimin was also devoted; his feelings for her remained unchanged for ten years.

The two are still considered a celebrated couple in the entertainment industry.

But what they never expected was...

Today, the beautiful Wang Manni even brought along a young girl who is even more beautiful than herself.

Even Wang Manni in her youth couldn't compare to that appearance.

Upon closer inspection, they discovered that the girl bore a striking resemblance to Wang Manni, and everyone present quickly realized the connection between the two.

This young girl may be the daughter born from a mistake Wang Manni made when she was young.

But she's so good-looking!

And her demeanor... you really can't tell at all that she's a country bumpkin raised in the countryside.

The socialites were stunned for a long time before they came to their senses and sighed.

"Is that girl Wang Manni's daughter with her ex-husband? She actually inherited her mother's beauty completely?"

"It's not an inheritance; she's clearly even prettier than Wang Manni. She doesn't look like a common country bumpkin at all."

"Did we get outdone by a country bumpkin today?"

"......"

"Once the princess arrives, she'll definitely be able to crush this country bumpkin."

"They're just average-looking! Nobody's better looking than us."

"Exactly, I don't think she's that good-looking either; she's nowhere near as pretty as us."

"......"

The socialites were all incredibly envious when they saw Song Qingqing dressed up in her finest attire.

They wouldn't admit it, but Song Qingqing was prettier than them.

At the same time, they were also looking forward to the princess arriving later and helping them crush Song Qingqing.

"Uncle Sikong, it's been a long time." Shangguan Weimin took the initiative to step forward and greet Sikong Leiyun.

Upon seeing Song Qingqing, a dark glint immediately flashed in the other person's eyes.

"Long time no see, and who is this?"

Sikong Leiyun pretended not to know Song Qingqing.

But in fact, he had already seen Song Qingqing's photo and recognized her at a glance. She was the village girl who had bewitched his grandson, and also the mutant.

What puzzled him was that Song Qingqing was a country girl, and Wang Manni was an ordinary person.

But why did they give birth to a mutated daughter?

Mutants don't appear suddenly; they can only be born if the blood relative is a mutant.

He had inquired about Song Qingqing's father, and he was just an ordinary man.

So the question is, why is Song Qingqing a mutant?

Unable to figure it out, Sikong Leiyun stopped thinking about it.

“She is my stepdaughter, Song Qingqing.” Shangguan Weimin said, then turned around and made Song Qingqing call Sikong Leiyun “Grandpa Sikong.”

Song Qingqing called out obediently.

Sikong Leiyun's expression was not good.

Afterwards, Shangguan Weimin exchanged a few more words with Sikong Leiyun before taking his family elsewhere.

"Weimin, you go ahead and do your work. I'll take Qingqing and Qi'er to find a place to sit."

Wang Manni was also thinking of introducing Song Qingqing to the wealthy ladies of Kyoto.

She didn't want to go with her husband to see his business partner.

Shangguan Weimin nodded and instructed, "If anyone bullies you, come and call me."

The head of the Shangguan family is not Shangguan Weimin, but he is not too bad; he is a well-known figure in the Kyoto circle.

Even so, he was still afraid that Wang Manni would be bullied.

"Okay, I will." With a sweet smile, Wang Manni led Song Qingqing and Shangguan Qi towards the group of women.

Unexpectedly, before they even reached them, they bumped into Shangguan Liuli.

Shangguan Liuli's expression was not pleasant; anyone with eyes could see that.

Wang Manni could do that too, but she knew that she had always been disliked by Shangguan Liuli. She wanted to get past her, but the other party kept blocking her way.

"Wang Manni, who is she? How could you bring such a shady person to the Sikong family banquet?"
