is.Wu Junyi was completely unaffected by the eerie atmosphere and began to chatter about his encounter with a human trafficking gang on the train.Wu Yong and Wan Guifen were also taken aback after hea...Three days later, a small banquet was held in a grand ballroom at the largest international hotel in the capital. The protagonist of this banquet was the Zhao family of three, and Zhao Lianyi, as the only daughter of the Zhao family, was formally introduced to everyone.
Because the news about Zhao Family mistakenly taking in another daughter had been circulating for a while, everyone was already aware of it. They just hadn't met Miss Zhao in any formal setting before, so they were curious. They never expected Zhao Fenglin to introduce his daughter so publicly this time, so everyone who received the invitation made an appearance.
When Liàn Yī saw the tall and slender figure in a red cheongsam standing beside Zhào Fēnglín and Zhōu Mèngyǔ, even a blind person could tell that they were a family of three. And Liàn Yī perfectly inherited the advantages of both parents, her temperament was extraordinary.
After a brief speech, Zhao Fenglin introduced his daughter to the crowd. Ripples, wearing five-inch high heels, walked gracefully to the microphone amidst applause and thanked everyone with a smile.
"Thank you all for taking the time to attend today's banquet. My name is Zhao Lianyi. Due to some mistakes, I was separated from my biological parents for seventeen years. I am very happy to be able to return to them, and I am also very grateful to my adoptive parents for their upbringing. Taking this opportunity of Zhao's official opening in the capital, I hope everyone can get to know me again. In the future, please give me your continued support!"
The ripples spoke calmly and confidently. Behind her, a slideshow played on the wall, displaying photos from her childhood. There weren't many individual pictures; most were group photos, and she wore ordinary school uniforms.
Of course, there are also a few pictures of her when she was chubby, which amazed everyone. She really did undergo a transformation, becoming more and more beautiful as she grew up.
The Wu family members present looked at the photos with a flicker of awkwardness on their faces. Wan Guifen understood it all too well; Li'an wasn't her biological daughter, so she had never thought about taking pictures to commemorate them. The slides mainly consisted of group photos from school.
Wu Xianrou was also present, looking at the few photos of Lian Ri's youthful years, her gaze was complex. She had to admit that the other party was indeed stronger than her.
Zhao Lianyi made no secret of her past, even displaying photos of herself when she was overweight to everyone. She jokingly claimed that being raised by her adoptive parents was very good, as being so plump proved she was well-loved. After all, it wasn't easy to get that big, which drew sympathetic laughter from the crowd.
Originally, her shortcomings, imperfections, and blemishes were all brought to light in jest. Even if they were unearthed in the future, they wouldn't harm her in any way. It was a well-thought-out plan.
Wu Xianrou bit her lip. She wanted to turn and leave right now, but she hadn't seen the person she wanted to see yet, so she could only continue holding her wine glass and standing in the ballroom.
The following photos are of Lianyi entering the Zhao family and starting her internship, as well as a group photo with Mr. and Mrs. Zhao Fenglin. At this point, she has transformed into someone who is increasingly beautiful, elegant, and confident.
In the applause of the crowd, Lianri smiled and raised her glass, then took a sip and thanked everyone again.
After the banquet, everyone in the hall entered a free mingling period. Zhao Fenglin personally took Liyan to meet several senior figures in the industry.
Zhao Fengxu brought Zhao Ziting to the banquet hall as well. Little Zhao Ziting, now a young boy, wore a well-fitting suit and looked like a little adult. He curiously watched Zhao Lianyi. His father told him that this was his savior who had rescued him from human traffickers when he was a child.
"Sister, hello! I'm Zhao Ziting, your younger brother. I heard that you saved me, and I haven't had a chance to thank you in person. Thank you, sister! Otherwise, I would have been separated from my parents!"
Ripples, after hearing this, lowered her head to look at the little boy and said with a smile:
"We're a family, saving you was just a coincidence, so don't be so polite!"
A big one and a small one started chatting seriously, all about the topics that little Zhao Ziton liked.
Yang Ziyue, accompanied by his girlfriend, represented his parents at the event. Looking at Zhao Lianyi's charming smile, he felt a mixture of emotions in his heart. A small mistake from the past had made him miss out on so much.
"Darling, what are you looking at Is Miss Zhao prettier than me" Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
Anna said with some displeasure.
Today she specially wore a white suspender dress that highlighted her good figure. Her curly hair was simply styled and draped to one side, revealing her rounded and fair shoulders. She was the boldest dressed woman at the entire banquet.
Yang Ziyì's eyes flashed, and she smiled and said:
"You're overthinking things. The Yang family and the Zhao family have been friends for ages, so we'll have plenty of opportunities to interact in the future. This daughter who's just returned is also someone I'm meeting for the first time. Why don't we go say hello together"
"Okay."
Anna was very pleased with the answer. She linked her arm in Yang Ziyix's, and said with a smile,
Just as the two people had taken only a couple of steps, they were stopped by Xianrou. Anna raised her eyebrows and smiled, saying:
"Darling, who is this other beauty friend of yours"
"I'm not his beloved, I'm his creditor. We have some accounts to settle!"
With a gentle expression, she spoke coldly, a hint of disgust flashing in her eyes.
A unnatural flash crossed Yang Ziyi's face, and then he patted Anna on the shoulder, saying stiffly:
"Anna, your lipstick is smeared, you should reapply it! I'll go chat with my old classmates for a bit."
Anna glanced at the emotionless, slender figure. She saw no trace of affection for Yang Ziyi in her eyes, so she shrugged and gracefully left.
"Cough, are you alright"
"I've been abroad for four years, in constant therapy, and forced to have a child, your child!" Let me know if you'd like any other text translated!
Fian softly said in a cold tone.
Upon hearing this, Yang Ziyì's pupils constricted. He suddenly felt that something was amiss. His breathing became rapid, and he tightened his grip on the wine glass. Glancing around, he saw that no one was paying attention to the two of them, so he lowered his voice and said:
"How could this be No, no."
"Whoa! I had surgery while in the hospital, but it wasn't successful. After I went abroad to recover, I discovered I was pregnant. Because my body is so weak, if I hadn't kept the child, there's a high probability that I wouldn't even be able to become a mother in the future, so I had no choice but to keep him/her."
Your parents also know they want to send me away with money, and I agreed! Because I've never wanted to take the children back to your Yang family and live with you, a person who forces me. I'm just telling you this fact, you better urge your parents on, don't delay my time abroad."
After saying that, Xianrou turned around and left the banquet hall decisively. Her intention was to stimulate Yang Ziyì through Yang Ziyì in order to make Yang Jun and his wife fulfill their promise as soon as possible and not think about delaying time.
As she was leaving, the delicate figure ran into Anna, who had just returned from touch-ups, at the door of the dressing room. The latter smiled warmly and stopped her.o was comparatively calm. After thinking for a moment, she continued,"I think the problem lies with Sang and Yan Jia that he rescued."Upon hearing this, a flicker of displeasure crossed the solemn fac...
