Chapter 236 - 236 236 Rushing to Acknowledge a Father
Chapter 236: Chapter 236 Rushing to Acknowledge a Father Chapter 236: Chapter 236 Rushing to Acknowledge a Father Su Yurou carried a wine glass as she walked toward the woman beside Elder Pei Liu.
At the same time, in the corner stood Qian Yueqiang, holding the struggling-to-stand Lin Xuecheng.
Lin Xuecheng, who had just undergone surgery yesterday, was completely devoid of strength, her face pale.
“Mom… who exactly is my dad?”
The guests attending the Pei Family’s banquet were all either wealthy or noble. Just the sight of those dazzling and luxurious dresses made Lin Xuecheng’s eyes dazzle!
Especially Elder Pei Liu, who stood at the head position, dressed in custom-made Italian attire, something money couldn’t buy…
Lin Jingsheng had once wanted to buy a suit from that brand, but the designer demanded a financial assessment before service. Lin Jingsheng had ranted furiously at home, and Lin Xuecheng had noted the brand…
“Chengcheng, just wait and see, your dad’s identity will surely surprise you!”
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuecheng’s heart almost jumped out!
Could her dad be Elder Pei Liu?!
This was the Pei Family after all!
The combined assets of hundreds of Lin Jingsheng might only amount to a fraction of the Pei Family’s wealth. It’s said that a child from the Pei Family spends millions in pocket money each month…
If he were her biological father, the prosperity and wealth for the rest of her life would be within her grasp!
Not to mention that Lu Mingchuan, who previously needed her effort to climb up, was one of the men in the banquet hall—she still had a chance…
Qian Yueqiang held Lin Xuecheng to prevent her from wandering around.
“We can’t afford to offend the guests here! Chengcheng, let’s just wait here for your dad to come.”
Lin Xuecheng nodded messily, but her gaze caught sight of a figure who just entered the door.
Her pupils dilated suddenly, and her voice trembled, “Mom, isn’t that Sister Qingwu?”
Qian Yueqiang also followed Lin Xuecheng’s gaze.
The young girl, clad in a light cyan dress, looked like a forest elf. Her fair and radiant skin seemed to glow.
The layered skirt adorned with dark patterns, luxurious and lazy within the translucent chiffon, was held by two men beside her and only released after entering through the door.
Qingwu’s hand was accessorized with light-colored gloves of the same hue, as she walked arm in arm with Pei Jue and Shen Boyi into the banquet hall, instantly becoming the center of attention.
She was so breathtakingly beautiful, it ignited Lin Xuecheng’s jealousy!
Especially those two men by her side, one even wore a tie matching the color of her dress’s hem, while the other directly wore a suit in the same color!
Lin Xuecheng nearly ground her teeth to pieces.
“Mom… what makes Sister Qingwu able to attract two men just like that? Don’t they know about her chaotic private life…”
Qian Yueqiang also felt unsure.
Wasn’t Qingwu at the obstetrics and gynecology department at Great Wall Hospital before?
Her private life must be too chaotic to not even know whose child she is carrying!
Thinking of this, Lin Xuecheng’s eyes were full of resentment, bitterness, and jealousy.
Especially when Elder Pei Liu personally stepped forward to greet them and engaged in a lively conversation with the man in the light-colored suit by Qingwu’s side, it made Lin Xuecheng even more envious.
To make Elder Pei Liu have this attitude, he must be an extraordinary person.
Lin Xuecheng felt greatly unwilling; she pulled Qian Yueqiang along and headed toward Elder Pei Liu!
Elder Pei Liu looked kindly at Pei Jue in front of him. Seeing his well-fitted suit, he chuckled along.
He seemed to recall that his big nephew did not like light-colored suits.
Now, to match his fiancée’s dress, he was willing to wear light colors, which proved that what Lao Wu said about dealing with Ms. Shen was a good approach.
Though the method was a bit rushed, if there was an opportunity, he believed Pei Jue’s expression would be much more desperate and amusing than back then…
Thinking of this, the expression on Elder Pei Liu’s face became more vivid.
“Hehe, long time no see Ah Jue, is this my future niece-in-law? So beautiful, truly worthy of being a daughter of the Shen Family! President Shen was indeed talented and accomplished at a young age, we old folks are soon to be obsolete!”
Pei Jue gave a strained smile, “Indeed, soon to be obsolete.”
Qingwu nodded in agreement, “As long as you know I’m a daughter of the Shen Family, I thought Elder Pei Liu wouldn’t recognize people anymore.”
Shen Boyi chuckled coldly, “Little Wu, speak properly. Elder Pei Liu is old, not blind, he surely recognizes you.”
Feigning reprimanding his sister, Shen Boyi also pretended to look apologetically at Elder Pei Liu.
“Really sorry, Elder Pei Liu!”
“Our Little Wu was spoiled by us. This girl cannot speak well. Elder Pei Liu is a member of the Pei Family, how could he not recognize our Little Wu?”
“Little Wu, you mustn’t speak like this in the future. If our daughters of the Shen Family went out, and people outside didn’t recognize them, Grandpa and Dad would be heartbroken if they knew.”
“Understood, Big Brother.”
These two siblings were speaking in a manner filled with hidden meanings.
If they didn’t recognize, how could they precisely arrange people to follow Qingwu and take action against her?
Listening to these obviously insinuated words, the corners of Elder Pei Liu’s mouth twitched.
The Shen Family appeared to be more concerned about their newly found daughter than he thought.
It was merely a daughter, he did not believe the Shen Family could care that much.
“Hehe, President Shen, I have a daughter around your age. I’ll introduce you two later, perhaps the Shen and Pei Families could be in-laws again.”
Shen Boyi chuckled.
“Surely, I’m just not sure which daughter Elder Pei Liu is referring to.”
People within the circle knew Elder Pei Liu had six illegitimate daughters, not to mention numerous unexposed children kept abroad, which was considered a scandal in the Pei Family.
Elder Pei Liu looked a bit embarrassed, and his wife beside him gave him a vicious glare.
“What nonsense, of course, I’m talking about my only daughter, everything else is just media nonsense, they don’t count! President Shen mustn’t believe in rumors!”
Su Yurou locked her gaze on Elder Pei Liu within the crowd and dashed over.
She sweetly called out, “Dad!”
Almost simultaneously, another voice followed right after, “Dad, Chengcheng really misses you!”
Elder Pei Liu looked at the two daughters who popped up out of nowhere, and the corners of his mouth twitched!
The scene was in disarray, and everyone was astonished!
Didn’t they just say there was only one daughter? Where did the two suddenly come from?
Su Yurou and Lin Xuecheng noticed each other’s presence.
“Aren’t you that daughter of the Lin Family? How dare you call my dad ‘Dad’? Shameless little bitch! Don’t forget you still owe me five million!”
Previously, Lin Xuecheng borrowed five million from Su Yurou to redeem Lin Jingsheng and Qian Yueqiang, and it was still unpaid…
Su Yurou raised her hand and slapped Lin Xuecheng, the crisp slap resonated through the banquet hall along with Lin Xuecheng’s scream.
“Who knows where this trash came from, rushing to claim a dad; this is my dad, open your eyes wide and see clearly!”
