After all, she was brought here personally by Lu Ci. Before this, they had never seen Lu Ci bring a woman to appear in public.
Lu's mother looked at the well-behaved and sensible Ji Fuying with affection, her fondness growing more and more obvious. "If it really is her, I'm afraid I'll wake up laughing in my dreams."
Ji Fuying's expression was somewhat unnatural. She hadn't expected them to have such a deep misunderstanding. This was not good. If it got back to that jealous guy's ears, things might get out of control.
Just as she was about to explain, a woman slowly walked down the stairs from the second floor.
She wore an elaborate gown designed by renowned designer Lu Feng, with a neckline studded with diamonds, and adorned with a set of auction-quality jewelry.
Walking down with her was the dignified and solemn Lu Qing, who introduced the person beside him to the guests with a smile.
"Thank you all so much for taking time out of your busy schedules to attend my daughter's homecoming banquet. Let me introduce you to my daughter, Lu Suisui, whom the Lu family has just found."
A round of enthusiastic applause erupted from the audience. The Lu family still had to be given face, even though they all thought the Lu family's daughter wasn't particularly outstanding. They still showered her with praise.
Everyone was congratulating the Lu family, but Ji Fuying sat there blankly, seemingly lost in thought.
Xu Nuo secretly pulled her aside and asked in surprise, "Boss, isn't that your good friend? How did she become the Lu family's daughter?"
Ji Fuying slowly shook her head. She didn't know why Yun Yao had become the daughter of the Lu family. It was really too strange.
She remembered that Yun Yao had a mother, and her father had left with another woman when she was just born because he disliked that she was a girl.
How could someone with both parents be the daughter of the Lu family? It would be understandable if she were an adopted daughter, but the Lu family's statement claims she is their biological daughter.
She really wanted to rush over and ask her, but looking at the crowd surrounding her, she gave up the idea.
Let's ask her out tomorrow; asking her now might have some impact on her.
However, while she could hold back, some others could not.
Lin Nianxi was so shocked by Yun Yao's appearance that she couldn't close her mouth. Full of questions, she pushed through the crowd and tightly grabbed Yun Yao's hand.
"Yaoyao, why did you become the daughter of the Lu family?"
Upon seeing who it was, a flicker of panic crossed Yun Yao's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure and said gently, "I didn't expect it either, but after a paternity test, I am indeed the daughter of the Lu family."
Lin Nianxi kept shaking her head. She knew that Yun Yao was her mother's biological daughter. How could she be the daughter of the Lu family?
Could it be a mistake in the paternity test? No, that's impossible. How could the wealthy and powerful Lu family make such a fatal mistake?
She wanted to ask something more, but a hand pulled her away. "Niannian, ask me tomorrow."
Lin Nianxi turned around happily, "Yingying, you're here too. But don't you think Yaoyao's situation is strange?"
"Today is her most important day. If you want to ask anything, wait until tomorrow. It's not the right time now."
After Ji Fuying gave her some advice, Lin Xinian finally shut up and stopped asking about Yun Yao's background.
Soon, the banquet began. Ji Yan was seated at the main table, while Ji Fuying, Lin Nianxi, and Xu Nuo sat at the second table.
At this moment, the Lu family came over to offer toasts. Lu Qing and his wife took the lead, while Yun Yao followed behind them with her head held high and an air of arrogance.
"Thank you all for coming. Sui Sui, come and get to know them." Lu Qing raised his wine glass and looked at Ji Fuying and the others.
Ji Fuying and the others also stood up. Lin Nianxi excitedly brought her cup to Yun Yao, "Yao Yao, come here. I wish you all the best in the future."
Yun Yao looked at her coldly, without even raising her hand. "Excuse me, my name is Lu Suisui, not Yao Yao."
I used to envy her status as a rich young lady, but now that I am of a higher status than her, I no longer need to fawn over her.
Lin Nianxi stood there stunned. Not only her, but Ji Fuying was also stunned. Both of them looked at Yun Yao with disbelief.
The three of them have been together for so many years, and they've never even argued, let alone blushed.
Yun Yao's attitude just now was very clear; her status had risen, so she had become distant from them.
"Even if your name is Sui Sui, can't you just tell Nian Nian properly instead of using this attitude? Are you going to throw away all the years of our relationship?"
Ji Fuying looked at her with disappointment. Before, she was just an ordinary person, and no one had ever looked down on her. Now that she had regained her identity, she treated them with that condescending attitude.
"Yingying, that's not what I meant. It's okay if I corrected her when she called me by the wrong name, why are you blaming me for her sake?"
“You should know me. I’m a very direct person. If you want to sever ties with us, just say so. No need to beat around the bush. I will grant your wish.”
"Since you've put it that way, then let's stop seeing each other from now on."
They know too much about her, and she must never let them appear in front of the Lu family again. If they accidentally let something slip, she'll be completely finished.
Xia Changhuan, standing behind Yun Yao, tugged at her arm, looking somewhat displeased. "How could you say such a thing? Since you two used to be best friends, you should spend more time together in the future."
"Aunt Lu, thank you for your kindness. We were rude today, and we apologize. We'll be leaving now."
Li Chu, holding Lin Nianxi's hand, walked towards the front door without looking back. Ji Yan, seeing her leave, felt bored and also got up and left.
"How...how could this happen?" Lu Qing was somewhat annoyed, but he couldn't bear to blame his daughter who had just been found, so he could only tilt his head back and finish the wine in his glass.
On the other side.
Ji Yingying and Jiang Xuan exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with mocking smiles. See? This is human nature that can't withstand the test.
Ji Fuying had even hit Jiang Xuan for her sake before, but who knew that Jiang Xuan would turn her back on her? They must be feeling terrible. They deserve it.
Ji Fuying and Lin Nianxi did not go home, but went to their familiar coffee shop, only to find that it would be just the two of them there from now on.
Neither of them opened the sugar packet; they drank the bitter coffee directly. The coffee was as bitter as their hearts.
Lin Nianxi finally couldn't hold back her tears and sobbed softly, "Yingying, why did she become like this?"
A hint of sorrow flashed in Ji Fuying's eyes, but she didn't show it on her face. "Because our status and position are different now."
“Even if my status is not as good as hers now, what about you? You are the daughter of the Ji family. In what way are you inferior to her?”
"Niannian, do you really think she's the daughter of the Lu family?"
Lin Nianxi slumped onto the table, looking dejected. "We've known each other for four years, and it's not like we know nothing about each other. I don't think she is."
"So, we are the only ones who might know the truth, and not associating with us is the best option for her."
