From the moment Rongzhen made the announcement, the entire hall was in chaos. It was not good to interfere in such family affairs, but it was okay to watch the excitement. Everyone in the field focused their eyes in one direction, that noisy and chaotic circle.
Rong Zhen's gaze was fixed in one direction. He frowned slightly and then walked towards Meng Yao.
Meng Qingqing grabbed Rong Zhen's sleeve and said weakly: "I..."
Rong Zhen smiled at her reassuringly: "Don't be afraid."
He continued to walk forward.
Meng Yao raised her head and glanced at him sharply: "Is this how you treat guests?"
Rong Zhen was slightly dazed. For a moment, he seemed to see the shadow of his youth in Meng Yao, but it was not quite the same. The ruthlessness in Meng Yao was even more intense than he was at that time.
Rather than saying that he is a newborn who is not afraid of anything, it is more like he has been immersed in the sharpness for a long time and is definitely not acting rashly.
Rong Zhen admired Meng Yao quite a lot, and there was also a kind of inexplicable closeness between them. But it was a pity that he and she were on opposite sides after all.
He smiled slightly, not thinking he had done anything wrong: "Today is an important day, I just don't want anyone to come and disturb me, please forgive me if I have offended you."
He slowly lowered his head and said, "How pitiful! How did it become like this? Do you want to go to the hospital?"
Meng Yupu glared at him: "Don't be so sympathetic!"
"Brother Yu Pu, how could you think of me like this? To be honest, I still want to thank you for helping me raise my daughter for so many years."
"I never thought I would have a daughter. Thank you for taking care of me over the years."
He was slightly dazed and felt quite emotional.
Some words touched Jiang Hongmin's nerves. She took a few steps forward and grabbed Rong Zhen's tie tightly: "My daughter! Meng Qingqing is my daughter!"
She exhaled slowly a few times, and her eyes seemed to regain some clarity: "Are you taking revenge on us? Tell me! Are you deliberately taking revenge on our Meng family?!"
The assistant wanted to step forward, but Rong Zhen waved his hand to signal them not to come over.
"You still want to deceive me now?" He laughed in anger: "How many years have you deceived me? You let me run around like a fool? Have you ever thought about how I have been living these years!"
A cold and malicious smile appeared on his lips: "I have done a paternity test."
“This… How is this possible… This is impossible… !!” Jiang Hongmin didn’t know what she was thinking about, and suddenly looked towards the stage.
She saw her daughter, dressed in gorgeous clothes, staring at her with strangeness and disgust.
At that moment, Jiang Hongmin felt as if something in her heart was broken.
Rong Zhen just felt relieved: "Let me ask you, where is Meng Yujiao?!"
"I do not know I do not know… "
Jiang Hongmin couldn't bear the successive blows and fainted.
"mom!"
Meng Yao caught Jiang Hongmin immediately, looking anxious.
"Don't be afraid, I've called a doctor."
The calm voice became the best elixir to soothe emotions at this moment.
Rong Wei looked at Rong Zhen with a cold expression: "Third Uncle, enough is enough."
Rong Zhen kept his head down, not knowing what he was thinking.
The doctor came hurriedly and all the guests were sent away. The banquet ended in a farce.

Meng Family:
"Mrs. Meng fainted because she was so angry. Just let her rest for a while. You all know that Mrs. Meng's emotions are very fragile. Try not to mention anything that makes her sad to stimulate her."
Meng Yupu agreed to all of them: "Thank you for your hard work, Doctor Wan. I'll take you downstairs right away."
After the banquet, Rong Zhen didn't want to let anyone go and looked like he was going to die. In the end, it was Rong Wei who solved the problem.
"Don't be polite to me, Dad."
Meng Yupu paused, then smiled with relief.
Meng Yao and Rong Yun walked in lightly. Jiang Hongmin in the room was already sleeping peacefully, and the sadness between her brows had also disappeared.
Worried about disturbing Jiang Hongmin's rest, the two of them tiptoed out again.
After closing the door tightly, Meng Yao and Rong Yan went downstairs together: "I'm not going home today. I want to stay here to take care of my mother."
"Okay." He nodded and said, "I'll stay here with you."
"You'll stay with me? Don't you need to take care of other work?"
"No need." He said seriously, "I'll be here with you."
This deadly feeling came over her again. Meng Yao turned her head away uncomfortably: "I didn't expect Meng Qingqing and Rong Zhen to have such a relationship."
"It's not surprising. Your family and Rong Zhen do have an old issue that has been going on for a long time."
"What old things?"
"Do you still remember your aunt? Her name is Meng Yujiao..."

After cleaning up the mess, Rong Zhen went to Meng Qingqing's room.
Meng Qingqing was sitting on the sofa reading a book. When she saw him coming, she put the book down and said in surprise, "Dad..."
Rong Zhen walked over slowly.
Whenever he saw Meng Qingqing's face which was somewhat similar to Meng Yujiao's, he would feel a little emotional, as if he was relieved but also powerless.
He sat next to Meng Qingqing: "I didn't control my temper today. I'm sorry for not giving you a satisfactory welcome banquet."
Meng Qingqing seemed unusually sensible: "It's okay, I'm already very happy that Dad can recognize me."
“How could I not recognize you…” Rong Zhen’s voice sounded a bit bitter.
"I came here this time because I want to ask you something..."
Meng Qingqing nodded: "Dad, you say."
"You've been in the Meng family for so long, but you haven't heard any news about your... mother? I mean your biological mother."
"I... I've only been in the Meng family for two or three years, and I've never heard of my aunt... my mother, and I don't know where she is."
"I didn't expect that they were not only on guard against me, but also against you, without revealing any information at all." Rong Zhen murmured.
Meng Qingqing lowered her eyebrows and looked well-behaved, but there was a hint of resentment in her eyes.
Yes, they were on guard against her. They kept saying nice things, but didn't Meng Yupu and Jiang Hongmin still prefer Meng Yao
"They kept it a secret from me for so many years. Fortunately, you contacted me, otherwise I would never know that I have a daughter..."
"If the Meng family's attitude towards me wasn't so different from Meng Yao's, I wouldn't have noticed it so quickly." Meng Qingqing raised her head and begged, "Meng Yao has tried to kill me countless times. She hooked up with the Rong family and wanted to trample me into the mud!"
"We have to plan this matter slowly."
Meng Qingqing is still young after all. Although she concealed it well, her purpose was still too strong, which made Rong Zhen feel like she was being used.
However, when he thought of Meng Qingqing's previous tragic experience and the precarious situation she had experienced in the Meng family, he suppressed the discomfort in his heart.
After leaving Meng Qingqing's room, Rong Zhen went downstairs and told the bodyguard beside him: "Jiang Hongmin's condition is not right. Send a few people to investigate the Meng family's affairs."
