The late-night piano banquet at sea was held on a giant ship not far from the port.
Inside the luxurious ship, successful people from all walks of life raised their glasses and chatted, while melodious music seemed to linger on the sea.
Qingluan had just been rescued from the Dark Moon Organization and was not in a stable emotional state. In addition, Gu Momo knew that she never liked crowded places, so she took her directly to the VIP room.
"Qingluan, it's very safe on this giant ship. You can rest in this room first. I'll come find you when I'm done with my work, okay?" Gu Momo gently rubbed Qingluan's head, soothing her tenderly.
Her gentle demeanor was like gentle hands, which made Qingluan obediently nod: "Yes, Momo, I will be good."
"Qingluan is so good!" Gu Momo smiled gently and turned on the TV for Qingluan. "I'll be there in a bit."
After saying goodbye to Qingluan, Gu Momo followed Li Zhanting, who was waiting outside, to the banquet venue.
When Fu Yunxin saw Gu Momo coming from afar, she immediately rushed over and said, "Momo, you've finally arrived! I thought you wouldn't come here again after you left. I was so worried."
"I promised Miss Fu, so how could I not come? I did have some things to take care of just now."
Fu Yunxin smiled sweetly at the corners of her pretty eyes, and looked at Li Zhanting with a smile, "Mr. Ting, Momo and I have some private things to say. I wonder if you could do me the favor of lending Momo to me for a while?"
Li Zhanting smiled slightly, his face elegant: "As long as Momo is willing, then of course I have no objection."
"Wow, I didn't expect Mr. Ting to be henpecked!"
Hearing Fu Yunxin's teasing, Gu Momo couldn't help but grit her teeth slightly. When did she become Li Zhanting's wife?!
"Miss Fu, you've misunderstood. I didn't mean to..." She was about to explain to Fu Yunxin when Fu Yunxin pulled her away. "Alright, alright! I know Momo is probably shy. I've been through this before, how could I not understand your little schemes!"
Gu Momo was truly wronged; how could she have had ulterior motives?
Fu Yunxin quickly pulled Gu Momo to a corner of the banquet hall. This place was far from the music pool in the center of the banquet hall and was relatively secluded, but it was enough to keep her out of sight and was also an excellent place for private conversation.
She suddenly grabbed Gu Momo's wrist, her emotions slightly agitated. "Miss Gu, please forgive my abruptness, but may I ask what your biological mother and father's names are? Where are your parents now? Are they alright?"
The dim lighting obscured Fu Yunxin's well-maintained face, but it made her tearful eyes appear even brighter.
Gu Momo's heart skipped a beat; she didn't know much about Fu Yunxin's character and personality.
However, this was an excellent opportunity to enter the Fu family, and she would never let such a good opportunity slip by.
So she told the truth: "Miss Fu, my mother's real name is Rong Muhua. Everyone knows that I am the daughter of the Gu family. But my mother pretended to marry into the Gu family after she became pregnant. After that, she changed her name and surname. So I don't know who my biological father is or where he is."
Rong Muhua... Fu Yunxin's entire attention was focused on this name.
She really is Rong Muhua's daughter, she really is!
She quickly raised her voice excitedly, her eyes glistening with even more tears, "MoMo, you really..."
As she spoke, she seemed to realize that her tears were inappropriate for the occasion, so she quickly wiped them away and returned to her usual carefree and cheerful self: "What are you standing there for, Momo? Hurry up and call her aunt!"
"Oh right! I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Fu Jinye's younger sister, and Fu Jinye is your father!" Fu Yunxin burst into laughter at the mention of this. "Hahaha, that's hilarious! Everyone in the entire capital knows that your mother, Rong Muhua, is in love with my brother. She practically chased him to the ends of the earth! Back then, those two were my source of joy!"
"And back then, who didn't know that it was your mother, Rong Muhua, who ended up sleeping with my brother? But for some reason, after sleeping with my brother, your mother disappeared from the capital. And shortly after that, my brother also disappeared from the capital."
Damn it—back then, Fu Yunxin was a huge shipper for Rong Muhua and her own brother, okay?
Unexpectedly, this crazy couple was even crazier than she imagined. In the end, Rong Muhua even secretly gave birth to a daughter for her brother!
Gu Momo's lips twitched, staring at Fu Yunxin's young and smooth face as if she were questioning her own existence.
Fu Yunxin looks like she's only in her early twenties, doesn't she?
Who would have thought that the person who could be her sister would suddenly become her aunt?!
Gu Momo quickly pressed her advantage, calling out to her aunt, "By the way, Aunt, do you know why my dad left the capital back then? Did he leave any important messages or signals before he left?"
As the heir of the Fu family at the time, Fu Jinye held a high position and great power.
The sudden disappearance of such a capable and responsible person could not have been a coincidence.
Hearing this, Fu Yunxin's expression turned slightly serious. She frowned and looked at Gu Momo: "Momo, listen to your aunt's advice."
"The Fu family is like a cold, bottomless abyss, full of crises and conspiracies. Returning to the Fu family might not be a good thing for you. I can protect you secretly, but I still advise you not to go back to the Fu family, lest it bring you death."
A death sentence? Gu Momo smiled slightly to herself.
It would have been better if Fu Yunxin hadn't said anything. Now that Fu Yunxin had brought it up, she was even more eager to go back and see what kind of quagmire the Fu family was in!
"Thank you for your kindness, Aunt, but I have things I must do back home. I will take good care of myself, so please don't worry."
“MoMo, you…” Fu Yunxin frowned slightly, but a hint of appreciation flashed in her eyes.
Knowing the difficulties and forging ahead, Momo is indeed reminiscent of her older brother from back then!
A pleasant smile played on her lips: "Alright! Whenever you want to go back to the Fu family, I'll try my best to help you. But I still want to remind you, if you sense anything is amiss, immediately sever ties with the Fu family, understand?"
Gu Momo smiled and nodded in agreement: "Don't worry, Auntie, I know what I'm doing."
"MoMo is so good!" Fu Yunxin chuckled and pinched Gu MoMo's cheek. "Look at your pretty little face. If my brother saw you, he would probably like you so much!"
"Don't worry, Auntie, Dad will come back to us one day."
While Gu Momo and Fu Yunxin were chatting happily, in another corner, Li Zhanting's brows were already showing signs of impatience.
