Chapter 25 The eldest daughter of the Zhong family
As the lights came on one by one, a beautiful figure slowly walked down the spiral staircase.
I saw a girl in a blue rhinestone dress walking down slowly. She had bright eyes, white teeth, and skin as white as if she had never seen the sun. Her small face, which was the size of a palm, had fine eyelashes and sparkling eyes. Her delicate facial features made it impossible to take your eyes away.
Her long chestnut hair was simply tied up, the crown on her head was shining, and the diamond necklace made her neck look even more slender and white.
Her whole temperament is noble and elegant, like a princess who walked out of a fairy tale!
Everyone held their breath, their mouths slightly open, their eyes full of amazement.
Mr. Zhong looked at everyone's faces, raised his head proudly, and gently took his granddaughter's hand.
The girl smiled and stood gracefully beside her grandfather.
"My granddaughter, Zhong Jinmo."
Ye Jinmo took a step forward and said in a cold tone: "Hello everyone, welcome to the Zhong family."
The crowd burst into thunderous applause.
"Jinmo is still young and will have to rely on your care in the future." Mr. Zhong was full of energy, and the force in his words forced everyone to take a serious look at the eldest daughter of the Zhong family.
Then, he said solemnly: "I have decided to transfer 5% of Zhongsheng Group's shares to Jinmo."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone was in an uproar and looked at the old man and the child on the stage in astonishment.
You know, the old man only has 10% of the shares, so he will transfer half of it to her directly!
The shares of Zhongsheng Group can no longer be measured by money, it represents absolute status!
The Zhong family members in the audience were also shocked.
Father Zhong looked at his old father in surprise. He only held 5% of the shares!
Meng Shanshan's smile froze on her face, and she was mad with jealousy.
She grew up in the Zhong family, but she doesn't own any shares in the group!
Seeing her eyes reddened, Zhong Beichi beside her quickly put his arm around her shoulders.
Zhong Shaoqing had an expected expression on his face. As soon as he turned around, he saw Ji Sichen beside him staring blankly at the stage.
Looks like he's surprised...
Before he could speak, he heard the man speak excitedly, his voice trembling slightly: "This is...your sister?"
Thinking of the back garden, Zhong Shaoqing became even more confused and nodded in response: "Yes, you don't know her? She just came home a while ago, my only biological sister! Why, you must be amazed!"
Ji Sichen suppressed his inner excitement and glanced at Meng Shanshan: "What about her?"
"My cousin, who I just introduced to you."
Seeing his expression, Zhong Shaoqing suddenly understood something and looked at him with amusement: "The person you are looking for is not Momo, right?"
"I... thought the marriage was..."
"Is it Shanshan?" Zhong Shaoqing laughed. Facing a partner of many years, he was used to seeing someone dominating the business world, but this was the first time he saw Ji Sichen like this. "You thought the marriage was arranged with Shanshan, so you broke off the engagement, right?"
Ji Sichen put down the wine glass in his hand, pinched his eyebrows in annoyance, and felt a tightness in his chest.
"Can I go back on my word?" He spoke in a low voice, cautious and tentative.
Zhong Shaoqing took his expression in his eyes, cleared his throat, and said seriously: "When the Ji family sent the betrothal gifts for the first time, Momo had already returned home. I thought your Ji family was well-informed and had identified my sister, but it turned out that you did not investigate at all."
He paused, looked at the stage, and said in a light tone: "You broke off the engagement without even meeting her. Si Chen, have you ever thought that no matter who my sister is, you are disrespecting her by doing this."
He liked this delicate and lovely sister from the bottom of his heart, but the other party did not take this marriage seriously at all!
No matter who it is, he will not allow others to disregard his precious sister like this!
Ji Sichen closed his eyes and regretted in his heart: "I didn't handle this matter well."
He stared at the girl on the stage and made a decision silently in his heart...
The other side.
The three members of the Ye family were dumbfounded.
Ye Shuran looked at the beautiful girl on the stage, and the pride in his heart was completely shattered.
"How could she be the eldest daughter of the Zhong family?" Mother Ye couldn't figure it out. She looked at Meng Shanshan who was standing not far away, "Then who is she?"
The guests next to her looked at her with strange eyes: "Don't you know? Miss Meng is the daughter of Mrs. Zhong's sister. She was brought to the Zhong family to be raised since she was a child."
This is no secret; the entire upper class in the imperial capital knows about it.
"I heard a while ago that the Zhong family found their long-lost daughter. I saw her today and she is so beautiful. No matter how much hardship she has endured outside, her natural beauty cannot be changed!"
"Who says it's not true? With the shares in hand, I will join the group in the future..."
"Fortunately, I have prepared a gift for Miss Zhong. I must get to know her better later..."
The voices of the guests' discussions fell into Ye Shuran's ears.
The initial shock turned into intense jealousy, and her eyes turned red!
Father Ye had no time to take care of these things. His body went limp and he almost collapsed to the ground. Fortunately, his wife and daughter held him up.
"Jinmo is the daughter of the Zhong family. We just said so much in front of Mr. Zhong... Our Ye family is finished..."
Mother Ye was also panicking. Thinking of what she had said before, she was anxious and said, "How about... let's go first..."
At this moment, only Ye Shuran quickly adjusted his expression and calmed down.
"You can't leave, Mom and Dad. You are my sister's adoptive father and mother. She must repay you for raising her for sixteen years!"
One sentence brought the couple back to their senses.
Hope rekindled in Ye's father's eyes, and Ye's mother also put away her guilt and panic.
Several guests who were near them also heard this and cast envious glances at them.
With this great favor, the Ye family is likely to reach the sky!
Ye's mother also calmed down. In an occasion like today, as long as they made a request, would the Zhong family not agree?
This mere cooperation might bring more rewards to the Ye family!
With this favor, her precious daughter will definitely find a good marriage, maybe even marry into the Zhong family.
If the young master of the Zhong family becomes her son-in-law, will the Ye family still have to worry about business?
Thinking of this, Ye's mother's expression suddenly changed, and she put on a warm and proud smile again. She took Ye's father's hand, walked through the crowd and came directly to the front of the stage.
Ye Shuran followed behind gracefully, holding up the hem of her skirt with a proper smile on her face.
The three members of the Ye family stood still, and Ye Shuran spoke first: "Sister, I didn't expect to meet you here. Mom and Dad missed you a lot during the days you were away."
Ye's mother took the initiative to speak, her expression full of warmth and joy: "Yes, Jinmo, you are so beautiful tonight. Seeing that you are doing well and being loved by your family, your father and I are relieved."
As she spoke, she glanced around, meeting the envious or puzzled gazes of the crowd, and looked at Master Zhong in annoyance.
"Look at my memory, Momo should change her words now. It's not mother, but adoptive mother."
