Will you be happy for the fame and fortune this child will have in the future, or will you be sad that he will not be happy for the rest of his life?
*************************
The banquet officially began. A large photo of Li Ziting hung in the center of the splendid banquet room. His cute and well-behaved appearance made the guests stop frequently and praise him...
Guests shuttle around, cups overlap, and lights reflect each other.
Wearing a champagne-colored ankle-length evening gown, Manwen stood in the banquet hall as the host. Her parents were extremely happy for her to return to the UK and joined hands to actively socialize.[
Behind the smiling faces of congratulations, there is an unpleasant voice.
"Didn't you hear? They say that this eldest grandson was born to Mr. Li from an outside mistress."
"Isn't it because she couldn't give birth to a son that she was exiled to Germany? Now she's back and acting like the matron of the house. It's really funny to see her."
"If I were her, I wouldn't have the shame to stand here. Thinking about the entire Li family consortium falling into the hands of my mistress's son, I would be very angry."
"Otherwise, what else could she do? Hiding and crying, wouldn't that be even more ridiculous?"
"..."
Whispers kept ringing amidst the dance music. Manwen held the champagne glass in one hand and touched his makeup-covered face with the other. He smiled happily and chatted with everyone with ease...
"Daughter, your communication skills are getting better and better." The mother walked up to Manwen holding her father's arm and rarely praised her.
Manwen nodded lightly.
This kind of banquet was of extremely high standard, but Mr. Li showed up and left immediately. The three brothers of the Li family never came out. Everything fell on her shoulders.
"Congratulations." A slim young girl came over and raised her wine glass to Man Wen. "It's really enviable that a young lady can maintain such a good figure just after giving birth."
I wonder if she is too sensitive to Li Juexi. She even remembers that this girl was the girl that Mr. Li once wanted to introduce to Li Juexi as his second wife...
The thorny voice in such words failed to irritate Manwen, but made her parents' expressions change, "This young lady must not have been properly educated by your parents when she spoke."
"Oh? Did I say the wrong thing?"
The young girl pretended to be suddenly enlightened, "I almost forgot that the eldest mistress has been in Germany these years, and the eldest young master Li is in the UK, so this Li's grandson is..."
Finally, the girl pretended to have an "I understand, I understand" expression, hastily ended the conversation and left.
"See, if you don't give birth to a grandson for the Li family, you will always be a joke in banquets like this!" Her father glared at her, put down the wine glass, and pulled his mother out of the banquet living room.
"..."
Manwen stood expressionless, watching her parents leave quietly. When someone came to congratulate them, she smiled and said, "Thank you." [
Since she is a joke, it has to be funny.
Halfway through the banquet, a maid suddenly came over in a hurry and whispered in her ear, "Madam, the young master is waiting for you at the racecourse."
"Racecourse?"
Manwen frowned, thinking there was something urgent, so he asked the butler to handle the banquet matters and hurried out.
The castle was a bit far from the racecourse, so Man Wen ordered the driver to drive there.
At night, the manor is immersed in a sea of lights. Beyond the bright lights is the dark night sky, but under the lights is a gorgeous palace-style manor...
