Tanjia, banquet hall.

　　It was still early for the banquet to officially start, so not many guests had arrived.

　　”Manman!”

　　After confirming once again that the on-site arrangement was foolproof, Tan Xinman froze and slowly turned around.

　　Ying Xu quickly approached Tan Xinman and held her hand out of habit.

　　But she dodged it by slightly turning sideways.

　　Ying Xu pursed his lips, “How long are you going to continue hiding from me?”

　　Tan Xinman knew Ying Xu’s temper. Seeing that he looked unhappy, she thought about the importance of today’s occasion, sighed, and took the initiative to hold his hand.

　　By the way, Ying Xu was taken to the corner.

　　”Today is a party prepared for her to rectify her reputation, so don’t mess up.” Tan Xinman said seriously.

　　Ying Xu snorted coldly, feeling sorry for Tan Xinman, “I don’t know where this person came from, but for her, your uncle and aunt don’t care about your face at all!”

　　”Ying Xu!” Tan Xinman said in a low voice, “I said before that she is the victim in this matter. I am sorry for her. Can you please not be so hostile to her?”

　　Ying Xu clicked his back teeth and said, “That’s right. You’ve been so good to them, and we’ve been together day and night for so many years. But they let you give in so easily just because of your different bloodline. It’s simply heartless and ungrateful.”

　　”Besides, you were just a baby back then. What does that person’s immoral behavior have to do with you? You can only blame Tan Li for having bad luck…”

　　Seeing that Tan Xinman looked unhappy, Ying Xu closed his mouth angrily, “Okay, okay, I won’t say anything.”

　　”We’re getting married soon anyway, so we don’t care what they do then.”

　　Tan Xinman said helplessly, “Ying Xu, I remember I said…”

　　”I don’t want to listen!” Ying Xu covered his ears. “Manman, I know that the Tan family is giving you enough headaches right now.”

　　”But I still want to tell you, no matter if you are the daughter of the Tan family or not, to me, you are just Tan Xinman, the woman I love.”

　　Tan Xinman looked into Ying Xu’s affectionate eyes and sighed in her heart.

　　”Anyway, today’s occasion is very formal and very important to our family, so don’t make trouble.” Tan Xinman warned solemnly, and secretly made up her mind to keep a close eye on Ying Xu later.

　　Lest he lose his temper like a spoiled brat without fear of anything.

　　Ying Xu replied perfunctorily, “Okay, okay, I’ll listen to you.”

　　After Tan Xinman turned around, a dark light flashed in her eyes.

　　**

　　As more and more guests came, Tan Pei also began to come out to greet them.

　　The visitors were very experienced. They did not ask the tight-lipped Tan Pei and Tan Xinman, father and daughter, for information, but just quietly looked at Wu Xiu’s figure.

　　But after looking around, no one found the hostess Wu Xiu.

　　Wu Xiu was in Tan Li’s room on the second floor at this time.

　　Tan Li was wearing a bright red high-slit waisted evening gown with sleeves made of equal-sized diamonds. Her lower body was sexy and flowing, while her upper body was elegant and dignified.

　　Wu Xiu put on the last diamond earring for her personally, her eyes red, “Our Dali is so beautiful.”

　　Tan Li shook the diamond chain on her hand and nodded with satisfaction.

　　But there was no restraint on her legs, and she said “tsk” in dissatisfaction. Fortunately, she had 15-inch ultra-thin high heels as compensation.

　　”Da Li,” Wu Xiu took her hand, “Are you ready?”

　　”Yeah.” Compared to Wu Xiu’s excitement and anticipation, Tan Li was so calm as if it had nothing to do with her.

　　Wu Xiu: “Then let’s go down. It’s time to let everyone know that you are the real daughter of the Tan family.”

　　When the two appeared at the corner of the spiral staircase, the whole place fell silent at the same time.

　　Everyone saw Wu Xiu affectionately holding the arm of a young girl they had never seen before, without hiding his closeness at all.

　　And the little girl who was held on the arm——

　　Her extremely cold eyebrows and eyes looked down upon everyone. Even her gorgeous makeup and clothes could not suppress the alienation in her eyes. Faintly, one could seem to smell a sticky smell of blood.

　　…

　　Logically speaking, those present are all powerful figures in society, and are used to playing the role of chess player in deciding life and death.

　　But for a moment, everyone felt a chill in their hearts, and they all avoided Tan Li’s sight, not daring to look at her.

　　Tan Li narrowed her eyes: This crystal chandelier is really dazzling from this angle.

　　Tan Pei on the first floor was stunned, unable to believe that he was actually shocked by Tan Li’s aura just now.

　　…I was suppressed to the point where I couldn’t move my limbs by a look from a girl in her early 20s. It would be too embarrassing to tell others about it.

　　As if they had telepathic connection, all the guests present became extremely alert and determined not to reveal any abnormality.

　　Tan Li saw the group of people downstairs with their eyes wide open, their backs tense, not daring to breathe loudly, and a question mark slowly appeared in his mind –

　　What’s going on, little brothers? Are rich people too picky? Why don’t you even show her some study materials?

　　Wu Xiu didn’t notice the strangeness of the guests on the first floor, and she excitedly walked down the stairs slowly with Tan Li in her arms.

　　She picked up a champagne glass and tapped it with the silver spoon.

　　”Tin–“

　　The crisp sound attracted everyone’s attention. Wu Xiu turned sideways and let Tan Li stand in the most conspicuous position.

　　”Let me introduce to you all, Tan Li, my biological daughter, the only jewel in the Tan family’s crown.”

　　Guests: …

　　???

　　!!!

　　In an instant, everyone’s eyes were either implicitly or blatantly cast towards Tan Xinman who was lying in the shadow in the corner.

　　Before Tan Xinman could react, Ying Xu couldn’t stand it anymore and jumped up. He stood in front of Tan Xinman, blocking all scrutiny for her.

　　If Tan Xinman hadn’t been holding him tightly from behind, Ying Xu would have rushed up and started a fight with everyone.

　　…The second young master of the Ying family cannot be offended.

　　Thinking of this, everyone’s attention returned to Tan Li and Wu Xiu.

　　Tan Pei walked to Wu Xiu’s side without her noticing, and gently put his arm around her shoulders. “Due to some accidents, this child was accidentally lost when she was young. In order to pray for her, my husband and I later adopted Xin Man as our adopted daughter, hoping that this child can also meet a good family.”

　　”Over the years, Xiuxiu and I have never given up looking for this child. God has rewarded our hard work. After more than 20 years, we finally found her.”

　　”Today, I want to announce to you all that our biological daughter, Tan Li, is back.”

　　This statement was thought up by Tan Pei, blurring the truth about the exchange of the real daughter and the fake daughter, transitioning Tan Xinman’s identity into a legally recognized adopted daughter, and minimizing the stock price fluctuations that might be caused by public opinion.

　　Although it sounded fake, coming from a man who was good at talking, even if others suspected the truth, they would not be able to make any waves as there was already an official conclusion.

　　At first, Wu Xiu and Tan Xinman both disagreed.

　　Wu Xiu felt that she did not have the energy to take care of the two of them, so she could only harden her heart and give Tan Li 100% favoritism.

　　Tan Xinman, however, believes that she should bear at least half of the blame for the incident and does not want to use such ambiguous words to avoid the price she should pay.

　　But when they realized that the other party disagreed with Tan Pei’s statement, they all fell silent.

　　In the end, Tan Li made the final decision, saying that there was nothing wrong with this argument.

　　At that time, facing the persuasion of Wu Xiu and Tan Xinman, Tan Li only said one sentence –

　　”Compared to what you think is good, I am more concerned about whether my dividends will be affected.”

　　That was the money she was going to give to Ah Heng to make the game that Letong was playing in better and better. There couldn’t be any mistakes!

　　The decisive blow.

　　Tan Pei recalled that time when Wu Xiu and Tan Xinman, whom he could not convince no matter what they said, both fell into deep thought because of Tan Li’s words. Thinking of Tan Li’s expression on the stairs just now, the sense of disobedience in his heart became stronger.

　　For the first time, he seriously thought about what kind of person this biological daughter whom he had not seen for more than 20 years was and what she had been through to become what she is now.

　　Is there a Tan Li hidden beneath those cold investigation texts that he doesn’t know at all?

　　”At the same time, I will transfer all my shares in the Wujia Group to my daughter.” After Tan Pei finished speaking, Wu Xiu suddenly added a sentence.

　　Tan Pei:!

　　He was completely unaware of Wu Xiu’s plan.

　　At the same time, the guests present had different thoughts.

　　The fat meat that was not eaten back then has returned? And compared to Wu Xiu, who grew up in a luxurious environment, Tan Li, who was lost in childhood and found in adulthood, should be easier to control.

　　For a moment, the weight of Tan Li, the real daughter, in everyone’s mind was completely different from before.

　　The interests moved people’s hearts, and this group of people had completely forgotten the fear that Tan Li had just brought to their hearts.

　　Tan Li, who was regarded as fat meat by them, was too lazy to socialize with others. As soon as Tan Pei and Wu Xiu introduced her, she found a comfortable sofa nearby and sat down.

　　She crossed her legs, allowing people around her to observe her openly or secretly, and just rested her chin on her hand in a daze.

　　A girl walked towards her and said, “Hi, we meet again.”

　　Tan Li didn’t even raise her head and continued to be in a daze.

　　The other party did not retreat because of Tan Li’s coldness, but sat beside her.

　　”Do you still remember me?” The girl smiled sweetly and spoke in an intimate tone.

　　Tan Li saw that she seemed to be planning to have a long talk, so she turned her head and said, “Remember, Fu Yunyun.”

　　Fu Yunyun was pleasantly surprised. “That’s great. I thought you had forgotten me.”

　　Tan Li: If you hadn’t been so prominent in the book, I would have really forgotten about you.

　　”Congratulations,” Fu Yunyun said, as if she and Tan Li had been good friends for many years. “You have found your biological parents, and can finally be reunited as a family.”

　　Tan Li kept supporting her chin with her hands, but her eyes showed a little more interest than before: Come on, start your performance!

　　Fu Yunyun was keenly aware of Tan Li’s weirdness, but…

　　”Speaking of which, you must have had a very difficult time these years.” She seemed to feel sorry for Tan Li, “It’s a pity that my uncle and aunt didn’t find you earlier, otherwise you would have been a real phoenix growing up with thousands of loves.”

　　”Alas…” Fu Yunyun sighed after many twists and turns, “What a pity.”

　　She said with a look of regret and remorse, “What a trick of fate. The real phoenix is ​​stranded outside, while the fake phoenix enjoys everything in her place.”

　　”Luckily, my uncle and aunt finally found you. You will definitely be able to get back everything that belongs to you.”

　　After saying that, Fu Yunyun quietly glanced at Tan Li’s expression…

　　But Tan Li shook her head in disappointment, “Your skill in provoking others is not that great.”

　　What kind of black-hearted vicious woman is surrounding Tan Xinman like a poisonous snake? The Book of Life has overestimated Fu Yunyun.

　　Fu Yunyun:……?

　　Tan Liyi said sternly, “Don’t expect me to help you deal with Tan Xinman. She is the best and most outstanding employee in my family.”

　　Tan Xinman who just approached: ???
