Chapter 381 She is your biological daughter
Downstairs, guests gathered, crystal chandeliers reflected dazzling light, and the air was filled with the sweet aroma of champagne and flowers.
Two long tables were piled high with all sorts of valuable gifts.
Gu Xingnian stepped into the dazzling light-filled space with the man beside her around her waist.
It immediately caused a sensation at the scene, as it was Fu Shoufu and the N God couple.
All eyes turned to them.
This immediately sparked an even more heated discussion.
"Holy crap! Are those Fu Shoufu and N God?"
"I heard they were coming, I didn't expect it to be true!"
"The appearance of this top celebrity couple is practically a walking trending topic!"
A group of entrepreneurs stepped forward to greet them.
"Mr. Fu, Mrs. Fu, it's such an honor to meet you here."
"Mr. Fu, hello, I am..."
Their arrival truly brought glory to the entire Si family.
That's because the Si family's son-in-law is Young Master Sheng, and the two sons-in-law of the Sheng family are too powerful!
I heard that there is a younger daughter who is about to get married. I wonder if I will be able to meet her today.
Fu Beichen nodded politely to everyone, not wanting to steal too much of the limelight.
Si Mingshan was overjoyed and greeted him with a smile.
"Mr. Fu, welcome, it's an honor."
Just then, the Sheng family arrived. Sheng Chengjun embraced Madam Sheng, and Sheng Weiwei walked in arm in arm with Bai Yu.
The aura instantly reached its peak.
"Brother Sheng, you've finally arrived. Our Si and Sheng families have truly become related by marriage."
Si Mingshan went up to greet Sheng Chengjun and shook hands with him.
Sheng Chengjun smiled, his face beaming with joy, "It's also our Xiao'er's good fortune that he was able to marry the outstanding daughter you've carefully nurtured."
"Haha. Brother Sheng, you're joking." Si Mingshan laughed heartily.
Sheng Weiwei and Bai Yu exchanged a glance, then Sheng Weiwei walked towards Niannian's direction.
"Old man, won't it explode later?" Sheng Weiwei was a little scared.
Gu Xingnian was also a little worried, "Let's wait and see."
Just then, the crowd parted automatically once again.
An elderly lady dressed in a bright red embroidered Chinese Tang suit walked in, looking quite sprightly, with the help of the housekeeper.
His silver hair was combed meticulously, and although he was old, his air of authority as someone who had long held a high position was still compelling.
She is one of the main characters today, the matriarch of the Si family.
The guests immediately changed direction and crowded around.
"Madam, may your happiness be as boundless as the Eastern Sea and your longevity as enduring as the Southern Mountains!"
"Madam, you look radiant today!"
The old lady wore a polite smile and nodded in response to each question; she was indeed in a very good mood today.
She really recovered well after she came back.
Just then, melodious music began to play, and Sheng Tingxiao, holding Si Li's hand, slowly walked down the spiral staircase from the second floor.
The man was dressed in a black bespoke suit, with a tall and handsome figure.
The woman wore an elegant white dress, looking radiant and captivating.
The two of them standing together looked like a match made in heaven.
All the guests gathered around.
Si Mingshan stood in front of them and said something.
"Dear friends and family, today is a day of double joy: my mother's 80th birthday and my daughter's engagement to the eldest son of the Sheng family. I am deeply honored that you have all taken the time to be here."
Let us raise our glasses together to wish the mother good health and longevity, and may she always be smiling; and may the newlyweds be of one heart and mind, and live a happy and fulfilling life together.
A thousand words can be summed up in one sentence—thank you everyone, cheers!
Sheng Chengjun and his wife approached with smiles, but their smiles froze instantly when they saw the woman standing next to their son.
Lin Xiaoli!
How did she end up here?
How did she become the eldest daughter of the Si family?
He felt like a complete fool, being manipulated by everyone.
A surge of anger rushed to the top of his head, and his face turned ashen.
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, he felt as if his old face was being trampled and rubbed into the ground.
"Absurd!" Sheng Chengjun uttered two words, then turned around abruptly and strode out, leaving everyone's astonishment and discussion behind.
The entire audience erupted in uproar.
Si Li witnessed this scene, tears welling up in her eyes, and Sheng Tingxiao gripped her hand tightly.
Si Mingshan went out immediately.
Sheng Weiwei and Gu Xingnian quickly chased after them.
Inside the banquet hall, the old lady stepped forward, her gaze fixed on Si Li, filled with affection.
"Lili, Grandma is really happy to see that you have found your happiness."
"Grandma, what did you call me?" Si Li asked with a look of surprise. This time, Grandma didn't call her Nuan Nuan.
“Lili, my dear granddaughter, you saved my life and took care of me in Haicheng for two years.”
"I will never mistake you again. Grandma is giving you this bracelet. You must be happy."
The old lady took out the phoenix-carved gold bracelet and slipped it directly onto her wrist.
"Thank you, Grandma."
Si Li hugged her, tears welling up in his eyes. Grandma had recovered.
On the other side, Si Mingshan chased straight to the garden and shouted at Sheng Chengjun's back.
"Old Sheng! You stop right there!"
"Si Li is the apple of my eye; she is my daughter, Si Mingshan's daughter!"
"Do you remember the marriage agreement that the expert arranged for our two families? It was for Lili and your Tingxiao! They are destined for each other!"
"The daughter I lost over twenty years ago has become your son's beloved! Isn't this fate?"
Si Mingshan's voice was firm and resounding.
Sheng Chengjun looked astonished.
"You're saying she's your biological daughter?"
Si Mingshan smiled and said, "Don't laugh at me, but I did indeed meet Xiao Li's mother twenty-five years ago."
"I never imagined that Xiao Li would become my mother's savior. If it weren't for fate, I might never have met them, mother and daughter."
"If you still have prejudices against her, my daughter can choose not to marry him! However, the child in her belly is the grandson of our Si family, and has absolutely nothing to do with your Sheng family!"
After saying that, Si Mingshan left angrily.
Depend on!
Sheng Weiwei and Gu Xingnian hid to the side.
I accidentally stumbled upon a juicy piece of gossip.
My God, is Xiao Li really the eldest daughter of the Si family?
It was a complete turn of events.
She met her eldest brother when she was at her lowest point, and fell in love with him; it all seemed to be an arrangement of fate.
It turns out that no matter how poor a person is, kindness and hard work can change their destiny.
If she hadn't been kind, she wouldn't have saved the old lady of the Si family.
If she hadn't worked so hard to earn money, she wouldn't have met the older brother, let alone moved him.
Just then, Si Li lifted her skirt and ran out.
"Chairman Sheng!" she shouted, running up to Sheng Chengjun.
“I know you don’t like me, and I don’t understand the rules of high society.”
"Even if I wore this gorgeous dress today, I still wouldn't have the air of a young lady."
"But I truly love Tingxiao."
Her voice was trembling with tears, yet incredibly firm.
“If I wanted, I could take him away and fly away, but what I… want more is your and Madam Sheng’s blessing.”
Si Li's eyes reddened after he finished speaking.
Sheng Chengjun didn't say a word, his face was cold, and he turned and left resolutely.
Her tears finally streamed down her face uncontrollably.
Sheng Tingxiao stepped forward and hugged her tightly.
"Baby, don't cry."
He lowered his head and gently kissed away her tears.
“We will settle in Ancheng, and I will not leave you.”
The ceremony resumed shortly afterward.
Sheng Tingxiao took her to touch up her makeup, and then they returned to the scene.
Despite the somewhat awkward atmosphere, everyone still stepped forward to offer a toast.
Just then, Sheng Chengjun walked back in.
He was holding an exquisite velvet box in his hands.
Amidst everyone's astonished gazes, he walked up to Si Li and opened the box.
Inside was a dazzling set of diamond jewelry, its brilliance shimmering, worth millions.
“This jewelry set is called ‘Light of Happiness’, and it was specially made for my daughter-in-law.”
His tone was still somewhat harsh, but the anger he had shown earlier was gone.
"I wish you happiness."
Si Li looked at Sheng Tingxiao with surprise and joy, then tremblingly accepted the box of jewelry.
"Thank you." She smiled.
So this is what it feels like to have your parents' blessings.
Lin's mother watched this scene from behind and quietly wiped away her tears.
"Old man, you're smart, thank goodness you came back!" Sheng Weiwei suddenly stepped forward and put her arm around Sheng Chengjun's shoulder.
"Otherwise, you would have lost two grandsons today!" she added with a grin. "You've hit the jackpot this time!"
"What? Two grandsons?" Madam Sheng was the first to exclaim in surprise.
"Yes!" Sheng Weiwei announced proudly, "My sister-in-law is pregnant with twins, both boys!"
These words shocked everyone present.
Immediately, a burst of enthusiastic applause and congratulations erupted.
Today is truly a day of triple joy!
Sheng Tingxiao looked at Si Li in disbelief, his voice trembling slightly.
Is it true?
With tears in his eyes, Si Li nodded forcefully.
The next second, he excitedly cupped her face in his hands and kissed her fiercely several times.
Si Mingshan was so excited that his face turned red.
"That's wonderful! That's wonderful! It turns out that Lili is our family's little lucky star!"
"She brought my grandmother back, then she brought me a wonderful son-in-law, and now she's even brought two grandsons!"
He excitedly raised his glass and laughed heartily at all the guests.
"Come on! Tonight, let's drink until we drop!"
Fu Beichen's expression darkened, and he asked Nian Nian a question while holding her close.
"Twins again? Does the Sheng family have a twin gene?"
Bai Yu quickly answered, "Indeed, I have seen the Sheng family genealogy. The great-grandfather of the Sheng family was a twin brother, and the grandfather and great-aunt were twins of opposite sexes."
"Weiwei and Tingxiao's genes must have skipped a generation."
"If Weiwei and I have another child, it might be twins. Then I will have four precious daughters."
Bai Yu smiled brightly.
"Four daughters?" Fu Beichen's eyes turned red with jealousy. "Wife, let's have a daughter when we get home tonight."
"Isn't it supposed to be a two-year grace period?" Gu Xingnian was taken aback.
"Others can do two at a time, we need to work twice as hard to keep up."
"Give birth." Fu Beichen gritted his teeth and uttered a single word.
Gu Xingnian smiled at him and coaxed him, "What are you jealous of? If you have another daughter, you'll have both a son and a daughter."
“They have a daughter and a son, but they don’t have a complete family like you.”
Fu Beichen looked pleasantly surprised, "How come I didn't think of that? My wife is the most amazing."
"What if it's another son?" Bai Yu casually delivered a stab and ran away.
Fu Beichen: ...
The engagement party finally came to a perfect end.
That evening, the news of Sheng Tingxiao's engagement to Si Li and the birth of their twins dominated all the headlines online.
It was late at night.
Sheng Tingxiao held Si Li in his arms and kept kissing her.
"Honey, thank you."
His voice was hoarse, filled with gratitude.
"It was because of your insistence that we were able to keep our two precious children."
She smiled in his arms and looked up to meet his gaze.
"Sheng Tingxiao, thank you for never giving up on me."
"You look so handsome tonight, I love it."
She looked up and smiled, praising him without reservation.
"Tell me, when did you start to like me?"
She paused, then said in a slightly embarrassed voice.
"I fell in love with you from the second time I saw you."
Sheng Tingxiao was somewhat surprised and raised an eyebrow.
"That time you broke into my room? What made your heart flutter?"
Si Li's face instantly turned bright red.
"Great physique, agile, handsome and sexy, he fits... he fits all my fantasies about a husband."
After listening, he chuckled softly, his chest heaving.
He scooped her up in his arms and carried her toward the bedroom, his eyes gleaming with a mischievous glint.
"I'll give you a proper demonstration in a bit, and I'll also teach you a new skill while I'm at it."
"What skill?" Si Li asked innocently.
"Anyway, it's a skill every wife should know," he said with a wicked grin in her ear. "You'd better learn it well."
