"I heard that peasant woman’s daughter is also eighteen now, already eighteen. She probably can’t be groomed as an heir anymore! It seems that the Tang Family still has to rely on Fang Hongyu and her daughter to hold up the fort."
"..."
Less than three days later, the elite circle was brimming with various rumors about Tang Qiushui.
Fang Hongyu sat on the couch, listening to her assistant’s report, her eyes brimming with smugness.
The people hadn’t even returned, yet the rumors had transformed into this; she figured that the homecoming banquet that night would undoubtedly be bustling at the Tang household.
Fang Hongyu looked up at her assistant, "What time is the old man and the old lady’s flight tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow afternoon at three," the assistant replied.
Fang Hongyu nodded, "Remember to remind me to pick them up."
"Of course, Miss Hongyu."
Before long, it was the next afternoon.
Fang Hongyu, along with Lv Tang, personally went to the airport to meet them.
Due to the news of the Eldest Miss Tang’s return having already spread, many reporters were staking out at the airport, hoping to snatch the front-page headline.
Fang Youling, with her daughter on her left and granddaughter on her right, followed by Tang Shaowei pulling the luggage, the family of four made their way out.
Click click click!
Countless cameras snapped their photos.
Normally, Fang Youling hated such sneaky photography, but today, she not only didn’t mind it but was very cooperative with the shoots.
The clever reporter wasn’t content with sneak shots and ran up to Fang Youling, handing over the microphone, "Director Fang, good day, I am Wang Hao, a reporter from Capital City TV Station. There’s news recently that you have found your daughter who disappeared thirty-six years ago. Is this news true?"
"Of course it’s true," Fang Youling nodded, introducing, "This here is my biological daughter Tang Qiushui, this is my granddaughter Lin Wu."
Even Lin Wu, who typically disliked being photographed, cooperatively turned to look at the camera.
She understood the feelings of Fang Youling at this moment.
She had been searching for her daughter for thirty-six years.
Now, having finally found her, she naturally wanted to announce it to everyone loudly.
Lin Wu?
The reporter subconsciously felt the name sounded familiar but didn’t think much of it and continued to ask, "Director Fang, could you share your thoughts with the viewers right now?"
"I can," Fang Youling looked up at the camera, her eyes reddening, "I’m truly so happy to find my daughter. Thirty-six years, I thought I would die with regrets, but fortune favors the bold, and at last, I’ve found my precious daughter, the heir to the Tang family."
"I hope families with abducted children watching this never give up on searching for their children. If not today, then not tomorrow, but the day after tomorrow you will surely find them!"
"I searched for my daughter for thirty-six years. Once I almost recognized her, but due to a bizarre twist of fate, we missed each other by eighteen years."
By the end, Fang Youling was almost sobbing and took a good while to calm down, finally bowing toward the camera, "I hope everyone is safe and happy. Lastly, may there be no more child abductions!"
After the interview with the reporter concluded, the family of four reached the arrival gate.
Fang Hongyu and Lv Tang were already waiting.
Lv Tang kept looking inside, "Mom, what do you think that country bumpkin looks like?"
Lin Wu, having grown up in the countryside, must be thin and pallid, with no presence whatsoever.
Not like her.
She was nurtured from a young age by a refined environment, destined for a life of wealth.
Thinking about this, Lv Tang’s face was full of a sense of superiority.
Fang Hongyu snorted, "What can a child from an impoverished area turn out to be!"
She had never really looked directly at children from impoverished areas.
From such barren land, what good seed could grow.
At that moment, the figures of Fang Youling appeared among the crowd.
"Here they come! Here they come!" Lv Tang was excited but the next second, she was dumbfounded.
The women standing on both sides of Fang Youling were who?
Lv Tang, experienced in elite circles, had developed a discerning eye; she recognized at a glance that these two possessed extraordinary aura, definitely not ordinary people.
Could it be...
These were Tang Qiushui and Lin Wu?
They were nothing like the rural women and village girls she had imagined.
Lv Tang was almost unsteady.
Fang Hongyu also had an unpleasant expression, but she still tried to calm herself down.
Perhaps, these two were only superficially golden.
With that thought, she put on a smile, "Auntie, uncle, welcome back. This must be Sister Qiushui and niece Xiao Wu, right?"
Fang Youling smiled and introduced, "Qiushui, this is your uncle’s daughter, Fang Hongyu. You two played together when you were young, remember?"
Lin Guixiang shook her head, "I don’t have much of a memory of that."
Fang Hongyu immediately hooked Lin Guixiang’s arm, "It’s okay if Sister Qiushui has forgotten, I still remember it."
Fang Youling continued, "And Xiao Wu, this is your cousin from your aunt’s family, Lv Tang. Tangtang is one year older than you."
Lin Wu politely nodded, "Hello, Lin Wu."
"You are truly beautiful, little Sister Xiao Wu!" Lv Tang pretended to be friendly, masking the jealousy in her eyes.
What’s the use of a pretty face?
She is stronger on the inside than Lin Wu.
**
Meanwhile.
Qing City.
Zhang Dalong, watching the news, was stunned.
He, he had actually seen Lin Guixiang and her daughter in the news!
Plop.
The next second, Zhang Dalong’s cigar fell to the ground.
His face turned pale.
