At this moment, Song Lin's heart was filled with endless regret.
He never expected that Xia Huanhuan was actually the long-lost heiress of the Ye family, the richest family in the country!
If God could give him another chance to choose, he would never get entangled with Xu Lu.
He staggered forward a few steps, then knelt down before Ye Huanhuan without hesitation, tears streaming down his face, filled with remorse, and said:
"Huanhuan, please forgive me for the sake of our past marriage! I am not human, I have made an unforgivable mistake, I am not even as good as a dog!"
Can you give me another chance to change my ways? I swear, if you forgive me, I will treat you even better and spend the rest of my life making up for the harm I've caused you.
Seeing this, Song Xue hurriedly stepped forward, tightly grasped Ye Huanhuan's hand, and pleaded repeatedly:
"Yes, Huanhuan, please, for the sake of our past relationship, beg Mr. Ye not to kick us out! Please, you are a magnanimous person, please forgive us for what we did before."
However, Ye Huanhuan resolutely pulled her hand away from Song Xue's.
Her tone was cold and resolute, as if there was no room for negotiation: "It's too late to regret it now. I will never forgive you."
Having said that, Ye Huanhuan expressionlessly gave the order to the bodyguard:
"Take them away. The Ye family's banquet doesn't welcome uninvited guests!"
Upon hearing this, Song Xue screamed at Ye Huanhuan like a shrew:
"Ye Huanhuan, we have an invitation. We're not uninvited guests. You can't kick us out!"
Song Lin, standing to the side, was filled with despair and helplessness.
He knew that he had broken Ye Huanhuan's heart, and she would never forgive him.
He raised his head, looking at Ye Huanhuan with an almost pleading gaze, and asked in a trembling voice:
"Huanhuan, do you really... refuse to forgive me anymore?"
However, Ye Huanhuan only coldly retorted:
"Song Lin, what face do you have to ask me to forgive you? You know perfectly well that the thing I can't tolerate most is betrayal! When you decided to be with Xu Lu, you should have understood that this was the inevitable ending between us. Even if I hadn't returned to the Ye family, I would never have chosen to stay with you! Besides, are your apologies and repentance truly from the bottom of your heart? I doubt it!"
"No... I really know I was wrong..." Song Lin still wanted to try to win Ye Huanhuan back, but Ye Huanhuan just thought he was talking nonsense.
Ye Haiming solemnly warned the crowd of onlookers:
"All of you attending this banquet today are the Ye family's most sincere friends! These two individuals have offended the Ye family and have been blacklisted. You all know the consequences of being blacklisted by the Ye Group. If any of your companies are cooperating with them, I advise you to distance yourself immediately, or you will bear the consequences!"
As soon as he said this, the surrounding entrepreneurs all looked at each other in dismay, especially the female entrepreneur who had been chatting happily with Song Lin earlier; her face turned deathly pale.
It seems I should keep my distance from the Song family from now on!
In S City, there will likely be no place for the Song family to stay from now on.
Song Xue's face was filled with despair, and tears streamed down her face, ruining her delicate makeup.
"Huanhuan, please have mercy and let our Song family go! We really know we were wrong, and we will never offend you again!" she pleaded desperately.
Song Lin hung his head, looking lost and silent, as if he had lost the love of his life.
Seeing their miserable state, Ye Huanhuan felt no sympathy whatsoever. She simply stared at them with her cold eyes, letting the bodyguards drag them away without a second thought.
"Thank you all for your attention. The banquet will continue today," Ye Haiming said with a smile to everyone.
Immediately afterwards, he and Gao Yalan led Ye Huanhuan to the center of the banquet hall stage, and solemnly announced to everyone present:
"Dear friends and family, please allow me to introduce you to my long-lost daughter, Ye Huanhuan!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Secretary Liu walked steadily to the center of the stage, holding a thick folder in his hands. He respectfully handed the document to Ye Haiming, who then carefully passed it on to Ye Huanhuan.
Ye Haiming took a deep breath and continued, "This is the equity transfer agreement for 3% of the Ye Group. It's a gift that my wife and I specially prepared for our beloved daughter to formally acknowledge her as our daughter."
Then, he took a fine car key and a property certificate from Secretary Liu again, and said gently to Ye Huanhuan:
"Huanhuan, this limited edition Koenigsegg sports car was handpicked for you by your father, and this property certificate is for the most impressive and tallest office building in downtown S City, which your mother specially arranged for you."
These are all coming-of-age gifts we prepared for you long ago, and now we are giving them all to you.
Looking at the overwhelming wealth before her, Ye Huanhuan felt as if she were in a dream.
She didn't know how she received these things; she only felt dizzy and confused.
Thunderous applause erupted from the audience. This lavish and extravagant family reunion banquet amazed everyone present.
"That's outrageous! They're giving away an entire office building as a coming-of-age gift! And that supercar and the share transfer agreement... I'm so envious! I wish I could be born into a family like that..."
"Exactly! You probably don't realize the true value of that share transfer agreement. The Ye Group's annual net profit is a whopping 20 billion. A 3% stake means a whopping 600 million every year! My goodness, 600 million! How many big deals would we have to close to earn that much money?"
Amidst the murmurs, Ye Ru, standing backstage, gazed silently ahead, her eyes filled with endless jealousy, resentment, and bitterness.
Why should I? She roared inwardly.
Why should all the glory and honor belong to Ye Huanhuan?
He himself had spent twenty-seven years in the Ye family, but in the end, he gained nothing.
Aside from a few bank cards with unlimited limits, she received nothing—not even a share transfer agreement or a luxury office building.
Is all of this simply because she is not her biological daughter?
Ye Ru bit her lip tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms, blood flowing down her fingertips, but at this moment, she could no longer feel any pain.
Jealousy, like a demon, consumed her reason, gradually distorting her face.
She couldn't understand why fate was so unfair.
Why was she destined to be Ye Huanhuan's foil?
She was not willing to accept it!
