Sensing Fan Huijun's warning look, he touched his nose and pretended to call everyone to line up.
"President Fan, it was my mistake, don't blame Junjun."
"You told me to arrange this, but I was so busy setting up the venue that I completely forgot about it!"
Gu Huaibei took the initiative to continue the conversation, perfectly covering up the lie.
Fan Shenglun glanced at his son-in-law.
"You're still young. You get flustered and overwhelmed when faced with important matters. In a few days, it will be your wedding with Junjun."
"In my opinion, you should entrust the company to handle it!"
Gu Huaibei smiled and glanced at his fiancée, then said respectfully, "Yes, President Fan, Junjun and I will give your suggestion our top priority!"
Standing to the side, Qin Fengying silently watched Lu Yi, and the more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.
If they were worried about privacy leaks, why did the Fan family go to such lengths to hold such a large banquet? They could have just had a private meal with a few people and announced Lu Yi's identity.
Look at the present, everyone is forced...
No, no, I remember that the heads of several large families came. Why are only the young people from each family left here?
Where are those family heads?
She clearly remembered Huo Xiao sitting in a wheelchair, being pushed into another villa. Where was he now?
Qin Fengying suddenly regretted that she shouldn't have come behind Lu Zhengming's back to cause all this trouble.
Perhaps Fan Shenglun is using Lu Yi's coming-of-age ceremony as an opportunity to secretly build a clique and make big money from new projects!
So, the Lu family won't be isolated, right?
She nervously rubbed her hands together, her brows furrowed, and involuntarily lifted her foot to walk towards Lu Yi.
Meanwhile, Lu Yi sometimes calmly watched the farce unfolding not far away, and sometimes bent down to listen to Fan Shenglun speak.
That respectful and obedient demeanor made Qin Fengying's heart ache with jealousy.
This is the son she gave birth to after three days and two nights of grueling labor. Eighteen years later, he is calling someone else "Dad" in front of her!
They completely ignored her, their own mother, without any remorse!
They might even help outsiders against their own family. What a despicable person they are!
How could his heart be harder than stone!
"Madam Lu!"
Gu Huaibei and Fan Huijun stood behind Fan Shenglun, while Qin Fengying stood next to Fan Huijun, less than two meters away from Lu Yi.
Seeing that she was tense and approaching Lu Yi step by step, Gu Huaibei alertly pulled Fan Huijun to his side and raised his voice.
"Mrs. Lu, your new cell phone and safe are not over there. Mr. Fan had them placed in the VIP lounge."
He was certain that Qin Fengying's clenched fists were aimed at Lu Yi.
However, as a member of the main family, he couldn't expose Qin Fengying in public. Coincidentally, Lu Yi was facing the same direction as those rows of people.
With a quick change of heart, he cleverly prevented Qin Fengying from taking any further action.
"Oh, I see..."
Qin Fengying relaxed her tense, level shoulders, glanced at Gu Huaibei, and then turned to look at Fan Shenglun.
Those who received their new phones returned to the banquet, satisfied, and resumed their original conversation.
"President Fan, hurry up and announce Lu Yi's birthday gift!"
"We can't wait any longer!"
"Yes, tell us quickly, so we can see for ourselves!"
"You are the first person in Jiangzhou's history to hold such a grand coming-of-age ceremony for their godson; this is truly historic..."
Many of the young people present, like Gu Huainan, were studying diligently in the country.
In such families, any competitive candidates for succession are sent abroad early on to receive a more advanced and open education.
Those who remained in the country were either unloved and undesirable individuals, or those whom the head of the family intended to train.
Regardless of the type, you need to cultivate your network and let your academic performance or achievements speak for themselves!
Therefore, there are quite a few people like Gu Huainan and Lu Yi who rack their brains to develop new projects and strive to establish themselves.
This opportunity to meet like-minded people and cultivate interpersonal relationships is extremely valuable to them.
Fan Shenglun is known for valuing and cherishing talent, so perhaps that safe holds a path to the future!
Those who were just taking a wait-and-see approach have now all made their positions clear.
The jeering now carries a hint of support, rather than mockery directed at Lu Yi.
"Alright, alright! Sorry to keep you waiting!"
"Jun Jun, let me release the list of gifts I gave to Lu Yi... so that everyone can witness that what I gave to Lu Yi was truly given."
"If he doesn't like it, he can do whatever he wants with it."
On one side of the venue, the large screen that had just been displaying photos of Lu Yi suddenly went dark.
When the lights came back on, the detailed gift list slowly began to scroll...
Wow!
Everyone was stunned, instinctively reaching for their phones to take a picture and look at it carefully at home.
After searching for a while, I realized that my pockets, bag, and even the place where I usually keep my phone were all empty.
"Villa K in this villa area... No way, I remember that one was an antique-style building. Someone offered 300 million, but President Fan didn't even agree!"
"An Aston Martin Va... I'm not seeing things, am I? Starting at 30 million! My God!"
"Shares?"
"7% of the Fan Group's shares? I asked my dad for 0.7%, and he wanted me to exchange it for my achievements. What did Lu Yi do to make President Fan so generous!"
"Consultant at Fan's Real Estate Company? Are you kidding me? Lu Yi is just a boy from a high school, a consultant? What does he know about real estate!"
"And there's more..."
"Is President Fan still going to take in godsons? It's not too late to kneel down and call him 'Dad' now, is it?"
"Godfather, please tell me what you need me to do..."
Seeing several young people joking around, kneeling and kowtowing, Fan Shenglun smiled and scolded, "Get up, all of you! What kind of behavior is this!"
"I don't need to go into Yi'er's story anymore, but this child neither gave up on himself nor wallowed in self-pity!"
Instead, they went against the tide and used their strength to become a more dazzling presence than any of you.
"What I gave him is really nothing. In the near future, he will definitely earn much more than that."
"The Fan family did this simply to encourage more young people to establish correct values and not to take pride in seizing other people's wealth!"
"From today onwards, you can call him Fan Yi, or you can continue to call him Lu Yi, because both names have been included in my Fan family's genealogy..."
Before he finished speaking, the entire audience gasped as if a high-powered vacuum cleaner was working.
Qin Fengying felt her blood rush to her head, and a sudden heat surged through the back of her head, almost causing her to faint.
Genealogy?
Lu Zhengming had said a few times that he wanted to take Lu Yi back to recognize his ancestors, but he never mentioned the matter of him being included in the family genealogy.
The Lu family... has truly lost Lu Yi this time!
Lu Yi no longer needs the Lu family, no!
When has he ever needed the Lu family...?
