Addiction sets in at night; even the abstinent older man has fallen for it.

He simply couldn't stand Qin Dongyang's saintly attitude.

They act like they're so great.

Earning so much money, what's the point of giving away even a little to help others? It's not even a drop in the ocean.

Making a high-profile hero and establishing a good image is much better than spending money on marketing.

Qin Dongyang became a loving father to his daughter, but who knows the hardships he endured?

It's that stark contrast in fate all of a time.

He hated God.

He was seething with hatred, but he had to keep a calm face. His other hand, which was resting on his lap, was already clenched into a fist.

At this moment, Mu Sining and her daughter, who had just returned from the restroom, were initially puzzled when they saw the family of three suddenly appearing on the stage. When they saw that one of the younger girls looked so much like Mu Tiantian, they were stunned with shock.

The mother and daughter stared at each other closely, confirming that the young girl bore a striking resemblance to Mu Tiantian.

Mu Sining's mother, Xiao Muying, asked a man sitting next to her, "Mr. Xiao, is that young girl upstairs the biological daughter that the richest man in Qin found?"

Mr. Xiao nodded, "Yes, you went to the restroom. What a pity, you didn't see how touching it was just now."

Qin Dongyang had the invitation sent out stating that family members and female companions could attend, so he brought Xiao Muying and her daughter.

When Qin Dongyang appeared, the mother and daughter had just gone to the restroom.

Xiao Muying and Mu Sining's eyes widened like saucers!

Seeing their reaction, Mr. Xiao asked, puzzled, "What's wrong? Do you know the daughter of the richest man in Qin?"

Neither the mother nor the daughter knew how to answer Mr. Xiao.

It took them several seconds to recover from their shock.

This astonishing information needs time to digest.

After the initial shock, Mu Sining felt a surge of intense jealousy.

That bitch Mu Tiantian, not only did she manage to hook up with Fu Zhengting, that diamond bachelor, but now she also has a billionaire father.

She was fired by Han Huimin and lost her job because of her previous attempt to sow discord between Mu Tiantian and Fu Zhengting.

I kept running into obstacles when looking for a new job.

While she was feeling down, Mu Tiantian was doing so well!

She was unwilling to accept it.

If there weren't so many people around, she would have rushed up to Qin Dongyang and asked if he had the wrong person.

How could a country bumpkin like Mu Tiantian possibly be the daughter of a billionaire?

Although Xiao Muying was also very unwilling, she did not show it.

She glanced sideways, giving Mu Sining a warning look.

This daughter is just too impatient.

They always express their emotions openly.

You can get cosmetic surgery and dress up to improve your appearance, and you can even get breast augmentation, but your temperament and mindset can only be cultivated by yourself.

This has always been my daughter's biggest flaw.

She only has one daughter, and she's hoping her daughter will marry a rich man.

Previously, she had built a good relationship with wealthy women to introduce her daughter to several rich young men for blind dates, but none of them were interested in her.

She was furious.

Hearing her daughter say that Mu Tiantian and Fu Zhengting were together made her even angrier.

Learning that her daughter was fired by the CEO of Han's Group because of Mu Tiantian made her even angrier.

But now, no matter how angry I am, I can't do anything to Mu Tiantian.

Mu Tiantian is now the daughter of the richest man!

There were bodyguards all around the corner. If she dared to say a bad word about Mu Tiantian, she would probably be thrown out.

Remembering how humble and subservient Mu Tiantian was when she went to borrow money from Jiang Hui when she was sick, and then looking at her now, dressed so beautifully and elegantly.

It's like night and day.

Now she's more worried about another issue.

If Mu Tiantian wanted to take revenge on her and her daughter, it would be very simple; she just needed to tell Qin Dongyang…

Mu Sining also shared this concern.

After all, it was because of her instigation that Mu Tiantian and Fu Zhengting had a misunderstanding.

According to Han Huimin's statement when he dismissed her, Fu Zhengting almost remarried his ex-wife.

The mother and daughter were about to give a perfunctory clapping when the applause stopped.

Qin Dongyang waved his hand, stopping everyone from applauding any further.

He had composed himself and regained his composure. "Ladies and gentlemen, today's banquet is meant to be a joyous occasion. Besides sharing my joy at finding my daughter, there's another very important reason for this reunion banquet. I'm about to announce some very exciting news..."

He deliberately spoke in a mysterious way, instantly shifting everyone's attention from sadness and emotion to curiosity.

Mu Tiantian's heart skipped a beat, as if shrouded in smog, and her mood instantly became heavy.

Xia Guiying, who had been wiping away tears with her eyes down, looked up at Qin Dongyang with a smile on her face.

We can finally announce some good news!

Although it's not a good idea to act first and ask questions later, the daughter used this tactic first.

That's not their fault.

Ling Ya-kun and his mother watched Qin Dong-yang on stage with smiles, when they heard Qin Dong-yang call out, "A-Yu, come up here!"

Following Qin Dongyang's gaze, everyone finally confirmed that the "A Yu" Qin Dongyang mentioned was Ling Jieyu!

Faced with so many eyes on him, Ling Jieyu felt a little nervous for the first time.

It's like they're really getting married!

He stood up, looking somewhat awkward.

Qin Dongyang waved affectionately to Ling Jieyu.

The meaning of this interaction is self-evident.

Everyone had some guesses.

Ling Jieyu walked up.

Once on stage, Xia Guiying made way for Ling Jieyu, pulling him to her spot so he could stand next to Mu Tiantian.

Handsome men and beautiful women standing together are a feast for the eyes.

The photographer frantically pressed the shutter button.

Mu Tiantian wasn't used to wearing high heels, and her feet started to ache after less than half an hour. Standing next to Ling Jieyu, she felt stiff and uncomfortable.

Facing so many flashing lights from the audience, she felt like her eyes were being dazzled.

I have a very strong urge to escape from here.

But it's not possible.

If she leaves, she will be considered an unfilial daughter and people will talk about her for the rest of her life.

And the biological father would also lose face.

Anyway, it's not a big problem if she doesn't actually get a marriage certificate with Ling Jieyu.

She believed that Fu Zhengting's people would find evidence on the day her biological father forced her to register her marriage with Ling Jieyu.

I tried to convince myself that I couldn't look too upset, otherwise the media reporters would notice and I don't know what they would write.

She forced a smile.

My feet were hurting so much that I tried to change my stance by lifting my skirt. As soon as I moved, I felt like I twisted my ankle and lost my balance. I was about to fall backward when my waist tightened at the critical moment.

Ling Jieyu reacted quickly, grabbing her waist and stabilizing her out-of-control body.

She gasped in shock and had to lean on Ling Jieyu's arm to steady herself.

To everyone in the audience, this scene naturally appeared to be an intimate interaction between the couple.

Xia Guiying stood to one side, a smile spreading across her face, the sadness in her heart completely dissipating.

Ah Yu looks so cool when he's protecting people!

I'll entrust my daughter to Ayu; he'll be able to protect her very well.

Qin Dongyang shared the same idea.

He was still holding a microphone, jokingly announcing the good news, "Ruohan, isn't the husband Dad chose for you wonderful? He reacts so quickly and can protect you at any time..."

Everyone was immediately surprised upon hearing this.

After regaining her balance, Mu Tiantian wanted to create some distance, but her father's announcement meant that if she kept her distance from Ling Jieyu, it would be a slap in his face.

She remained still in that position.

Ling Jieyu kept his arm around her waist.

He hadn't expected Mu Tiantian's waist to feel so good when he hugged it.

He was chubby, but his waist was very thin. Only when he hugged him did he realize that his waist was thinner than that of his previous supermodel girlfriends.

The dress was perfectly fitted at the waist, highlighting her curves beautifully.

The fleece coat was just above her waist, not covering her perfect wasp waist.

Her makeup was also very beautiful.

Heavy makeup is gaudy, while light makeup lacks refinement.

This kind of makeup, neither too heavy nor too light, is the most suitable.

Recalling the first time I met Mu Tiantian, she wasn't dressed up much back then, but she had a very pure and innocent aura.

Now that I'm dressed so elegantly, my overall demeanor has improved a lot.

An idea suddenly flashed into my mind.

Having a wife like that wouldn't be bad!

At least in terms of appearance, temperament, and personality, they all have their own unique characteristics.

Mu Tiantian felt uncomfortable because Ling Jieyu kept staring at her. She was already very uncomfortable being watched by so many people in the audience, so she could only blink to relieve her discomfort.

Little did she know that to those below, it would appear as if they were exchanging flirtatious glances.

Everyone is happy to gossip, especially about the daughter of the richest man.

A reporter, who had brought his own microphone, stood up and asked, "Mr. Qin, when was your daughter found? And when did she marry the president of the Ling Group?"

Many people know Ling Jieyu, not to mention reporters.

Qin Dongyang replied generously, "My daughter has been found for over half a month. I've been busy with other things, so I postponed this family reunion banquet until today. Coincidentally, my daughter and the president of Ling's Group got their marriage certificate this morning, so I took some time out of my busy schedule to share the good news with everyone on this auspicious day..."

The reporter then asked, "So this counts as a whirlwind marriage. Why did Mr. Qin choose the president of Ling's Group?"

She felt that asking that question lacked a topical element, so she changed it to a more direct approach: "Mr. Qin, have you noticed the past scandals involving the president of Ling's Group? Are you worried that your son-in-law might cheat on you after marriage?"

Journalists are the ones who know best what people are most interested in.

Upon hearing this, everyone's gossip instincts were instantly ignited.

Ling Jieyu, the president of the Ling Group, has the face of a playboy and is indeed a playboy. He makes headlines every few days because of his love life, even more often than celebrities.

He's dated all the beautiful women.

Getting married these days is truly astonishing.

Mu Sining was shocked and furious at the same time, so angry that she felt like she was going to grind her teeth to powder.

According to the reports, Ling Jieyu has a good relationship with the Qin family. She originally thought that she would come to this banquet to see if she could flirt with Ling Jieyu.

Since Fu Zhengting had no hope, he turned his attention to Ling Jieyu.

Although Ling Jieyu is a bit of a womanizer, which man isn't these days? It's just a matter of whether he's openly or secretly a womanizer.

As long as she has money, she doesn't care how many women she has outside.

But now that idea has been extinguished.

Mu Tiantian is truly her nemesis.

Xiao Muying squeezed Mu Sining's hand to comfort her.

There are plenty of rich men out there. Ling Jieyu is hopeless. Just move on to the next one.

Mu Sining barely managed to calm the anger and jealousy in her heart, when suddenly a question came to mind.

Mu Tiantian and Ling Jieyu got their marriage certificate, so did she break up with Fu Zhengting?

A while ago, Fu Zhengting was trending on social media for being injured and falling into a coma while saving Mu Tiantian.

Why did you break up so quickly?

Is there some hidden story behind this?

Now that Fu Zhengting is single again, she has another chance.

Compared to Ling Jieyu, she still preferred Fu Zhengting.

I wonder if Mu Tiantian dumped Fu Zhengting.

If so, Fu Zhengting must hate Mu Tiantian to the core.

Then she can take advantage of the situation!

Thinking this way, her mood instantly improved.

Qian Zhikun was equally shocked, but he couldn't quite believe it was true.

He kept holding his phone up to film the scene on the stage until his arm started to ache.

He recorded the moment when Mu Tiantian almost fell and Ling Jieyu caught her around the waist, and sent it to Fu Zhengting.

If President Fu sees this, he'll be extremely jealous again.

Having finally defeated the young Han Qikai and Qin Fei, now comes another evenly matched opponent, Ling Jieyu.

Mr. Fu has really had a tough time.

Seeing Qian Zhikun filming incessantly, Zhong Zhiqiang curiously approached and asked, "Brother Kun, why are you filming so many videos?"

Qian Zhikun held his phone forward to prevent Zhong Zhiqiang from seeing the nickname he had given Fu Zhengting on WeChat. He gave Zhong Zhiqiang an awkward smile and said, "A handsome man and a beautiful woman, why not take a picture?"

Seeing that Fu Zhengting hadn't replied to his message yet, he couldn't help but wonder, "Is President Fu asleep so early?"

Zhong Zhiqiang also took out his phone to take pictures.

Yang Guanghui picked up his phone and pretended to take two pictures.

When everyone saw that Qin Dongyang hadn't answered the reporters' questions for a long time, they assumed he was angry.

The reporter who asked the question was also a little worried.

Qin Dongyang wasn't angry. He smiled magnanimously and replied, "I noticed. However, I know better than any of you what kind of person A-Yu is. A-Yu's father and I have been good brothers and friends for decades. When I was betrayed, A-Yu's father stood firmly by my side and supported me."

At that time, I knew that A-Yu's father was my most important and sincere friend. My daughter was born relatively late in life. On the day of my daughter's 100-day celebration, A-Yu's father brought him to attend. At that time, we made a promise that when my daughter grew up, I would marry her to A-Yu..."

Recalling the situation at the time, Qin Dongyang couldn't help but laugh.

But when he thought of Fu Zhenlong and his son Fu Zhengting, he couldn't laugh anymore.

I feel very uncomfortable.

He was so confused back then that he actually preferred to marry his daughter to Fu Zhengting.

Ling Yakun recalled the past because of Qin Dongyang's words and felt very emotional.

Time really flies; twenty-three years have passed in the blink of an eye.

Ling Jieyu felt a pang of emotion as he looked at Mu Tiantian, his mind drifting back to Mu Tiantian as a baby.

Back then, how could he have imagined that he would marry Mu Tiantian?

Qin Dongyang added, "Ayu was a bit of a player before, and he had quite a few girlfriends, but he didn't have any scandals involving cheating during those relationships. Have you heard any of the women who dated Ayu complain about him?"

His final rhetorical question left the reporter speechless.

Upon closer reflection, it's true that there isn't.
