All the distinguished guests attending the banquet had arrived. Acquaintances met and exchanged a few pleasantries. When the time came, Yan Youting and Li Shuwen went on stage.
After Yan Youting finished speaking, he then began to formally introduce Yan Xiluo.
"We have chosen this important day, the Mid-Autumn Festival, a time for family reunions, to invite everyone to witness the Yan family's search for their biological daughter."
"I believe that the moment you received the invitation, you knew that tonight was a family reunion party for my biological daughter."
“We must solemnly recognize our Yan family bloodline again, and we must give my daughter the proper ceremony.”
“I would like to express my special thanks to my daughter’s adoptive parents and her brother for their love and companionship over the past 18 years.”
"What we are even more grateful for is that they made us feel that there were no obstacles on the way to reunite the child with his family."
“We have also invited them to the event today, and I think they should be witnesses to this momentous occasion.”
...
Yan Youting was very nervous and excited, with mixed feelings in his heart.
Even when he took over the Yan Group, he wasn't this excited during employee meetings.
He completely forgot what he had said and was somewhat incoherent.
Li Shuwen was even more nervous than him, nervously fidgeting with her hands. She was supposed to speak too, but now she left it all to Yan Youting.
"Now I would like to formally introduce my daughter to everyone present."
"She originally took her adoptive parents' surname, Lin, and was named Lin Xiluo, which is a very nice name. After returning to the Yan family, after consulting with her, she changed her surname back to Yan and became Yan Xiluo."
"Now it's my daughter's turn."
Yan Youting's palms were sweaty. He felt like he was rambling on and on, and he didn't know if they had heard him clearly.
He just wanted to introduce his daughter as soon as possible; he had prepared a lot of things to say, but he hadn't gotten a chance to say them yet.
Much of what he said was improvised on the spot.
Yan Xiluo walked onto the stage from one side with a dignified and elegant posture, revealing the demeanor of a lady from a prominent family.
As Yan Youting said, the Lin family raised his daughter very well; just looking at the way she walks, she exudes an extraordinary air.
Yan Xiluo walked onto the stage with a faint smile and stood between her parents.
She could tell that her parents were very nervous, especially Li Shuwen, who hadn't said much since going on stage.
She quickly took the microphone from her father.
"Good evening, everyone, grandpas and grandmas, uncles and aunts, and everyone here."
"Thank you all for coming to my family reunion today. I am Yan Xiluo, the biological daughter that my father just introduced to you."
...
Seeing her parents like this, Yan Xiluo said a few more words on their behalf on stage to liven up the atmosphere.
It's also a good opportunity for my parents to relax.
There were also many media outlets present.
"I believe that all the media friends present must be very concerned about one issue, which is the question of whether Yan Yinran, the adopted sister, will stay or leave."
“Our Yan family will always treat her as family. She is currently living in the Yan family and will continue to do so in the future.”
"Ranran and I call each other sisters, and the Yan family is also her home."
If her biological daughter's identity is revealed tonight, there will inevitably be many other opinions online.
The most attention-grabbing issue is Yan Yinran's future. After all, she has been raised in the Yan family for so many years. They can't just kick her out as soon as their own daughter comes back, can they?
Such topics are bound to attract criticism, so she simply clarified the matter to prevent malicious individuals from using it to spread rumors.
...
After saying a few more words, Yan Xiluo handed the microphone back to her father.
The VIPs took their seats one after another. Yan Youting and Li Shuwen planned to take their daughter to meet the guests after the guests had finished eating and drinking.
Yan Yinran was still deeply moved by Yan Xiluo's words, and Leng Mingye was by her side tonight.
Most of them were in pairs, except for Su Mengying, who was still in school and hadn't started dating.
Yan Xiluo leaned back slightly in her chair, searching for Li Shuyan's figure.
After searching around, their gaze finally settled on her and Li Shaozhen, who were sitting together, chatting and laughing.
Most likely, things have been discussed openly, and the deal is done, right?
To avoid suspicion, Yu and the mysterious man from the Su family sat separately in the crowd.
Both of them were somewhat worried. Could it be that the Yan family wouldn't hand over that important item to Yan Xiluo today?
Now that dinner is over, shouldn't we move on to the engagement party?
"Wasn't it said that the Yan family would hand over that important thing to Yan Xiluo tonight?"
"Why isn't this part included?"
Yu was a little anxious and looked around cautiously. Luckily, she had put on a privacy screen protector so that no one next to her could see the messages she sent.
"I don't know either! That's what I heard at the time, how could I know the plan changed..."
He felt a little guilty because the plan had changed, so he had no choice but to have the ghost retreat.
Before obtaining anything from the Yan family, Gui Mei cannot make a move or pose a threat to Yan Xiluo.
So that he doesn't end up with nothing.
Ai Xue breathed a sigh of relief after receiving the news of the retreat, thankfully the family reunion had not been ruined.
She knew how important and meaningful this night was for Yan Xiluo.
Years later, I won't have any regrets when I look back.
By this time, she had changed her clothes and styling and returned to the banquet, sitting next to Lan Jingchen.
"Operation canceled."
Ai Xue sent a message to Yan Xiluo.
They weren't sitting at the same table.
Yan Xiluo's lips curled up slightly; everything was going according to plan.
These were all strategies she had discussed with her family in advance, so this part naturally wouldn't happen at the family reunion.
Her family didn't want her to have an imperfect family reunion, so they removed that part. They already knew who that person was, so they were confident in their decision.
"Mmm, this is delicious. I'll have Ah Chen teach you to dance later."
"I've known you for so many years, but I've never seen you dance."
Yan Xiluo joked, referring to dancing seriously, not in a carefree way.
Aisha almost choked on her drink; she knew perfectly well she couldn't...
Waaah...
Yan Xiluo put away her phone and focused on her meal. Her table was full of elders, and it wasn't good for her to keep playing on her phone.
Lan Jingyan frantically served her food, afraid that she would go hungry.
Lan Jingyan is very clingy; he follows Yan Xiluo wherever she goes, even wanting to sit next to her during dinner.
Yan Xiluo had been paying close attention to the Su family man's every move. He seemed to be behaving normally, and all the people sitting next to him were men.
It was impossible to tell which woman he had any connection with, and Yan Xiluo found it difficult to search for Yu's whereabouts; she couldn't find anyone suspicious.
She had investigated Yi Luhua before, and found that she had absolutely no connection with that man, not even business dealings.
She also investigated Yi Luyun, and the results were the same.
