The entire banquet hall was eerily quiet;
Perhaps they were shocked by Jiang Luoning taking off his mask so suddenly, or perhaps they were all scared of their own careless words just now. For a moment, the air in the venue seemed to freeze.
"Little Ningning, the veil has been removed. Why don't you tell everyone the origin of the group's name?"
Su Yu's voice finally broke the silence in the room, but no one around dared to interrupt. They all stared at the fairy couple on the stage without blinking.
"Actually, there's no need to explain anything. I've already brought them to the stage. Isn't that obvious?"
As Jiang Luoning finished speaking, everyone's eyes wandered between the two of them.
Han Tianyu, who had been staring at the little girl, finally realized the meaning of these words. He couldn't help but sneered and shook his head, but in his heart he was still a little jealous of Fu Linxiao.
What Lu Zifan was thinking was, fortunately the young masters of the Jiang family were not here!
If they knew that AX Group got its name because of that bastard Fu Linxiao, they would probably rush onto the stage to argue with him.
When Fu Linxiao heard the little girl's explanation, he was stunned where he was. Mr. Fu San, who usually never expressed his emotions, finally lost his mind in front of everyone, which was a rare sight.
Turning to look at the little girl with a smile on her face, I felt a warm current surge in my heart, and an unexpected excitement swept over my body.
His Adam's apple rolled up and down uncontrollably as he stared at the little girl in front of him who had followed him since childhood and called Lin Xiao brother in a soft voice. As he thought about it, an unknown emotion surged wildly in his eyes. He tried hard not to lose control, but the emotion in his eyes was still strong and intense.
But Jiang Luoning noticed the red corners of his eyes, suppressed the urge to rush up and hug the man, smiled, avoided the burning gaze, and looked at the audience;
"Everyone, I won't take up too much of your time. I wish you all a wonderful and unforgettable night. I also wish all lovers in the world can finally get married. I hope that all the endings are worthy of their original selves."
She put down the microphone and walked off the stage hand in hand with the man amid the guests' surprise and envy.
When everyone finally reacted to the news, they saw another protagonist of the hot search - Dong Jiaxue - coming in.
The girl was wearing a yellow dress and looked very graceful. She was accompanied by a man whose features were unfamiliar to her. She walked slowly to Dong Zicheng and called out softly,
"Dad, you have suffered, your daughter is back!"
The banquet hall, which had just become lively again, fell silent again after the girl finished speaking.
Dong Zicheng looked at the girl in front of him whom he met for the first time. Her eyes and eyebrows did bear some resemblance to Chen Ziqiu when he was young, but this deepened his disgust for Dong Jiaxue. Although he didn't know the purpose of her visit, her previous actions and her arrogance without any regard for the occasion made Dong Zicheng disgusted.
He ignored Dong Jiaxue's address and walked onto the stage in full view of the crowd. He picked up the microphone and spoke in a calm and indifferent voice.
"Miss, even if you've lacked family affection since childhood, you can't just casually ask to acknowledge your relatives!"
She spoke without regard for the occasion and ruthlessly denied her identity as the young lady of the Dong family.
Dong Jiaxue's body was obviously trembling, but she still had a decent smile on her face.
"Dad, I'm the child Mom replaced with, the one abandoned in the orphanage. It's normal that you don't recognize me, but this doesn't deny the fact that I'm a descendant of the Dong family. Didn't you also admit at the press conference that Dong Siqing wasn't a daughter of the Dong family? Now that I can put aside the past and return home, isn't it a happy occasion for everyone?"
There was no sign of any unpleasant emotions, and what he said sounded decent and generous, but he was still blaming the Dong family and portraying his own tolerance and magnanimity as noble.
I glanced around casually and saw that the guests around me were also whispering about the sudden situation.
Facing the inquiring looks from everyone, Dong Jiaxue raised the corners of her mouth slightly, her eyes full of pride.
However, she was oblivious to the people on the stage, remaining calm and composed, not showing any emotion at all due to the situation.
"My dear lady, not everything you say can come true! I did say that Dong Siqing is not my Dong family's daughter, but I have never admitted that there are any descendants of the Dong family living abroad!"
"you!"
"Even if you really are Chen Ziqiu's daughter, so what? I've already made public everything Chen Ziqiu did to me, Xu'er, and the Dong family. Do you think I'd still be so magnanimous as to take her daughter into my family?"
Perhaps she didn't expect Dong Zicheng to be so decisive. The calmness on Dong Jiaxue's face gradually became stiff. She took a deep breath, suppressed her anger and pretended to be pitiful. Then she took out a paternity test from her pocket, which she had secretly done after Chen Ziqiu had taken her blood.
Before she could argue, Xu Weishen, who had been silent, could no longer control his emotions. He grabbed Dong Jiaxue's shaking body, glared at the man on the stage, and roared:
"Mr. Dong, I thought you wouldn't be like Chen Ziqiu, but now your words really make me look at you in a new light! Could it be that all the noble families in the imperial capital are like you? You are so cold and heartless that you even ignore your own daughter!"
After that, he took the paternity test from the girl's hand;
"Do you dare to show this appraisal report to everyone?"
Dong Zicheng looked at the furious man, his eyes still calm, without any fluctuation.
He raised his hand to signal Dong Xu to take it, and without hesitation displayed the paternity test on the big screen.
Xu Weishen was still surprised for a moment. When the report was clearly presented to everyone, the guests' ridicule and arguments broke out one after another.
"This girl is really Mrs. Dong's biological daughter!"
"The Dong family really doesn't want their own daughter anymore!"
"I don't think so!"
"If it's true, the Dong family's actions are truly abhorrent!"
The debate, not too big or too small, continued, but most people still believed the two people's statements in the face of evidence, and even condemned Dong Zicheng's attitude towards his biological daughter.
However, there are still people who are willing to believe what the Dong family said. They all think that things will not be that simple. They believe in Dong Zicheng's character and are still taking a wait-and-see attitude towards this matter.
