However, a vacuum zone appeared around them. It was not until someone came forward to greet them and the three of them were chatting happily that the people around them began to get restless.
Ji Yuanfang excitedly walked to Tao Yuche and the others and respectfully called Ji Yanli, "Young Master." He didn't expect that he would meet the head of the family when he came to attend his colleague's father's birthday party. Ji Yuanfang felt that Cao Jianchang was his lucky star.
Ji Yuanfang quickly continued to introduce, "My father is Ji Tian, and he is now the manager of Ji's purchasing department."
Ji Yanli heard the familiar name and said, "Ah! Xiaotian, I remember he had a son who was doing quite well in his official career."
When Ji Yuanfang heard Ji Yanli praising him, he was so excited that he couldn't help himself. However, he kept his voice calm and replied, "Young Master, you must be talking about me, but I don't deserve your praise. I'm still far from it!"
Ji Yanli took a piece of dessert for Tao Yuche and asked, "What's your name?"
Ji Yuanfang felt his heart pounding non-stop, his mind a bit blank. He was actually asked his name by the head of the family. Then he heard his own voice, a little dazed, saying, "My name is Ji Yuanfang."
Ji Yanli said, "Well, Xiaofang, this is my husband, Tao Yuche. You can just call me Xiaoye from now on."
Ji Yuanfang, who had not yet recovered from her excitement, was shocked by the young master's address. Oh my god, it seemed that he knew a little-known shortcut that could lead to a smooth road.
So Ji Yuanfang showed the most cordial smile in his life and called Tao Yuche "Master".
Tao Yuche was shocked by the call of "young master" and glared at Ji Yanli. Ji Yanli said that there was nothing he could do because he was older than him.
Tao Yuche and Ji Yanli recognized their relatives one after another, while Cao Jianchang and Cao Jianye on the other side were very worried.
Cao Jianchang looked at his brother and asked, "Are you sure it's him?"
Cao Jianye nodded: "The paternity test has been done."
Cao Jianchang was now overwhelmed with worry: "How did he find me?"
After saying this, Cao Jianchang saw Cao Jianye hesitating and remained silent, so he glared at him and asked, "Did you find him?"
Seeing Cao Jianye remained silent, covering his face and not moving, Cao Jianchang lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and said, "I know I've let you and your wife down, and even more so, the child, because of what I've done all these years. But now that we've come this far and sacrificed so much, and he's grown up, if you want to make amends, you can find a reason to get close to him and help him, and then wait until the time is right to claim him back."
"But now my father-in-law has just been promoted, and I'm about to get promoted too. Aren't you just adding to the chaos? What's more, you've even dragged the Ji family into this."
After hearing what Cao Jianchang said, Cao Jianye was also in a headache: "I didn't want to recognize him at first, but after all, we as parents feel sorry for him, so I wanted to give him some help in private to compensate him for the suffering he has endured for so many years. But there was a project before, and I have always wanted to get in touch with the Ji family, and then I happened to find out that he has some relationship with President Ji."
"Before deciding to recognize him, I did some research. He grew up in an orphanage and suffered a lot. He's simple-minded and trusting. I thought that by giving him shares and being gentle with him, I could control him well. But who knew? He got married to President Ji in the blink of an eye and got a marriage certificate. Now, not only does he have no desire for Cao's shares, he doesn't even care about us."
"I originally wanted to use my connections to get in touch with Mr. Ji, but the Ji family never even came to my house. This time, it was the old man's birthday, and I specifically told him not to mention it to him, but I didn't expect him to come anyway. Now I don't know what he wants to do, and we are a little hesitant..."
Cao Jianchang carefully put out the cigarette in his hand in the ashtray and said, "No matter what his purpose is, you go out and appease him first. Not only will my father-in-law come today, but also many of my political enemies. So no matter what, we can't cause any trouble and let them catch me. Otherwise, our business will be in vain..."
Cao Jianye also realized the seriousness of the matter. He quickly stood up and walked towards the door, saying, "I'll go find him right away!"
However, when he was halfway there, Cao Jianchang stopped him and said, "Wait, you didn't tell me about Xiaoli!"
Cao Jianye nodded: "Brother, don't worry about this."
Cao Jianchang nodded and said, "Well, remember this can only be a secret forever. Cao Li is your son."
Cao Jianye nodded without saying anything and walked out. He didn't know what he was feeling now. Did he regret it? It seemed that he did. After all, if Tao Yuche had grown up by his side, how could he not be close to him? And how could Ji Yanli be rude to his father-in-law?
Cao Jianye was still thinking about how to stabilize Tao Yuche, but he didn't know that his beloved little son had already brought people to confront Tao Yuche.
Cao Li found the right opportunity and when he saw Ji Yanli going to the bathroom, he brought his men up to attack him.
Ever since he learned that Tao Yuche was the biological son of the Cao family, he had been in extreme anxiety and guilt. These two emotions had been tormenting him for so many days until he got the paternity test between himself and his father. Only then did he put aside his anxiety and realized that he was the biological son of the Cao family.
He said that he looked so much like the Cao family members, how could he not be a child of the Cao family? Moreover, it was said that he was found very quickly after he was lost. If he was a fake, how could he not be discovered in such a short time?
Therefore, all this must have been planned by Tao Yuche. Tao Yuche wanted his illegitimate son to take the position and squeeze out him, the legitimate young master.
Cao Li then walked up to Tao Yuche and whispered, "Oh, I already know all your little tricks. Today, you'll be disgraced in front of everyone. You still want to walk into the Cao family with dignity? You're dreaming. You can't keep anything or anyone that doesn't belong to you."
Tao Yuche looked at the puzzled Cao Li coldly. He really didn't know what was in this kid's head. Which eye saw that he was very eager to return to the Cao family.
So Tao Yuche said, "Oh, make way."
Cao Li stared at Tao Yuche angrily with his eyes wide open and motionless.
Tao Yuche spoke again: "Move over, you're blocking me from getting food."
Seeing Cao Li about to lose his temper, the people around Cao Li quickly stepped forward to hold Cao Li and said, "I'll do it."
The man was wearing a long robe, and his every move was like that of an ancient nobleman.
The man was also very polite. He performed an ancient ritual upon seeing Tao Yuche and said in a gentle voice, "Hello, Mr. Tao. I am Lou Qingjue, the successor of the Qingbo School."
Tao Yuche was stunned by the man's courtesy at first, and then began to feel guilty when he heard the other party's identity.
