Banquet 2
"Greetings, Elder Mo."
"Greetings, Matriarch Mo."
Amidst the greetings, the couple nodded, stopping occasionally at few important guests and stopped at the centre of the venue.
Mo Weimin's gaze swept across everyone present, his family came stood with him one by one before he says something. "Everyone, thank you for taking out the time and be part of the Mo family's happiness. Today, I, Mo Weimin, welcomes my fourth son Mo Zhichan and my granddaughter Mo Qinyang….."
The lights of the venue were turned off….
The scene was beautiful, amidst the dark venue, the red lanterns started to lit up one by one and stopped right at the entrance.
A dark silhouette e of a man and a woman was visible, suddenly a spotlight made way towards them….
Just when their dark silhouette came under the light none of the soul at the venue could help but gasp….
They were dumbstruck!
They were shocked!
Masked woman!?
Isn't she President XM?"
President XM is Mo family's granddaughter?!
The people who previously accused her of stealing the diamond gulped….
The people who accused her of her unknown family background wanted to hide their face in shame…
Already President XM was beyond reach, but now with Mo family's name behind her, she is invincible!
There was commotion everywhere.
"President XM is Mo Qinyang."
"She is a royal princess, Mo family's most doted girl. Is there anything more shocking than this?"
"But still, maybe her father's side is strong, who knows what her mother's background was." A socialite mumbled but her words caught the attention of few people. "It's a no secret that forth master Mo Zhichan's wife's background was never disclosed."
"Maybe that's why the fourth madam of the house is nowhere visible."
"Is her maternal background that shameful? I wonder what it could be."
The Mo family and even Xiu Mei acted blind ear to this nonsense. Those who doesn't know the reality will bark.
They were still mumbling, when once more a commotion was heard.
It was Lu Xion walked in with Zeng Shihong.
Country Z's newly elected president; Philips Petrov walked to them and shook hands, "Mr. X, Mr. Zeng, pleasure meeting you again."
Zeng Shihong might not be in his best health, but Feng Jianyu's medicine and the happiness of getting his girls back has made him younger by ten years. His sharp, scary gaze contained the same danger years back but as he looked at his granddaughter it softened.
Walking on his right was a middle-aged lady in a blue qipao, looking elegant as always. She was none other than Lu Xion's mother, Si Moon.
Behind them was a small group of guards dressed in black, they instantly took their positions in the corners of the venue, keeping eye on the prestigious family from far.
"Woww… the rumour was indeed true that Mr. X might be attending the event."
"Isn't it obvious, both President XM and Mr. X work together, at such an important event he would obviously be here."
"But, I wonder who this old man is? Judging by his imposing aura he can't be someone ordinary."
"Quite, you girls!" Jiang Yinran's father sushed them. "He is the famous Zeng Shihong, no one in this world can offend him." He wanted to tell his other identity of ex-king of the underworld too, but that wouldn't be a good idea.
"Who? Who is Zeng Shihong?"
"I've never heard of him before."
The younger generation might not be aware of him, but the older one was shocked. The great Zeng Shihong who never get close to anyone, and live a secluded life was himself present at the event. Why? What else is special about this event?
One of the socialities instantly googled Zeng Shihong's name on the phone, and the countless articles emerged. She gave an equally horrific look to the old man and stepped back to become part of the decoration.
On the other side, Xiu Mei had seen Si Moon with Lu Xion and rushed to her. She greeted showing her signature smile. "Aunty Moon!"
"Xiao Mei, you're looking so beautiful." She warmly caressed her head, "Wear aunty's bracelet to ward off the evil eye." Si Moon sincerely made her wear her jade bracelet.
The formidable Lu Xion who is beyond everyone's reach teased her lightly, "Not bad, in this red dress you're really looking like a tomato."
Xiu Mei gave a complaining look to Si Moon who on the other hand chose to ignore the two. It's nothing uncommon for them to pull each other's leg.
Everyone in the crowd was dumbfounded. This doesn't look like a business relationship! They are like family!
And why are they calling her Mei? Is this her other name? But didn't elder Mo introduce her as Mo Qinyang? Do XM and X are more than business partners?
"Looks like her Mo family's backing has brought many advantages, one amongst them is getting a rich man like Mr. X."
"But still, her mother's origin is still a mystery and that is going to remain a mystery forever!"
Zeng Shihong obviously heard the whispers, old and new, he can bear anything but nothing against his precious girls. Those who dared to question their background will receive a good face slap. His temper flared, "Whoever dares to question my daughter's origin, come forward and ask me on my face. I'll give him/her a satisfactory answer along with something more."
He roared at the crowd like an enraged tiger, fire smouldering in his eyes looking over the crowd standing holding their breaths.
Everyone exchanged glances looking shocked. The socialities and heiresses of the business empires gossiping just a while ago zipped their mouths.
Daughter?
Did Mr. Zeng Shihong say, daughter?
Did everyone hear the same or is it a misunderstanding?
Does the wife of the fourth master is Mr. Zeng Shihong's daughter?
This means President XM is his granddaughter!!
