Chapter 270: The Miyaji Family Banquet, Things Are About to
ously, her gaze as dark and impenetrable as濃墨.His fists were clenched tightly, and the wounds on his hands continued to bleed profusely from the constant tearing.After a long while, a self-deprecating...Shen Ningran has been unreachable even by phone these days, so she doesn't know what's happening online, let alone that Guan Xinyue is being forced to repeatedly confess her past misdeeds on camera.
Now the online heat for "Shen Ningran wielding a knife to maliciously harm Bo's wife" has died down.
On the contrary, Guan Xinyue was scolded to the point of mental breakdown.
Shen Ningran was quite surprised to learn about the whole thing.
……
The palace family.
As the eldest Miss of the Palace family returned, everyone in the Palace family had naturally heard the news. There was no need for Mo Cang and his companions to inform anyone; everyone had already gathered in the Palace family's hall.
On either side of the elaborately carved wooden chairs, everyone sat according to their age and status.
The Gong family has always been strict about social hierarchy, and no one dared to overstep their bounds.
In the quiet hall, a few murmurs of conversation could be heard. The person sitting at the leftmost position in front, with their eyes half-closed, spoke first, "Everyone is here because they heard about my sister's biological daughter returning, right"
“That’s right, I heard the main house was in quite a commotion last night. Even our family in the courtyard could hear it clearly. It sounded like two identical people had gotten into a fight. Oh well, such a ruckus! Who knows if either of them is still around now.” It was Gong Yuanhong speaking, the youngest son of Old Master Gong.
The man on the left opened his sharp eyes and sneered, "I've heard that it's hard to tell what's true and what's not."
Palace Yuantong picked up the teacup beside him, took a sip of tea, and smiled: "If we really found someone fake to come back, it would be ridiculous. Would it be possible for a little girl to be the head of the family Brother, if it weren't for the old man's rules during his lifetime, the one who should be in the position of the head of the family should be you."
Gong Yuanyi smiled, "We're now all from the branch family. In this family, our words hold less weight than those old men from the main family. They are so stubborn, what can we do about it"
Gong Yuantong waved his hand, "If that girl were real, that would be fine. But if she's fake"
"My truthfulness and falsehoodness are to be judged by three elders. If any of my uncles have grievances, please voice them here and now." A clear and resonant voice echoed from the top of the stairs.
As everyone looked down at the woman walking towards them, they saw Bo Yanqing in a red coat, hands in his pockets, striding over with an imposing air.
Following closely behind were three elders.
Bo Yan walked gracefully to the front, her chin held high as she scanned the faces around her. "It seems some of you uncles have quite a few opinions about my identity"
Bo Yanqing looked at them. Mo Cang had already explained when they came down. Sitting on the left was her second uncle, Gong Yuanyi. The other one, who had just been the most ferocious, was her third uncle, Gong Yanhong. The rest were some cousins.
Bo Yanqing knows that Gong Yuan Yi and Gong Yuanyong are the most difficult to handle among this group of people, and they are also the ones with the most say.
She knew that taking down the Gong family would be fraught with difficulties, not just because there was still Shen Ningran, but also because of this group of discontented relatives.
But it doesn't matter, she was prepared and played along with them slowly.
Gong Yuanhong looked at Bo Yanqing's face and sneered, "You are Shen Ningran, my sister's biological daughter"
"That's right."
Gong Yuanhong sounded like he was hearing a good joke, still sneering, "As expected of a face that's gone through plastic surgery, no matter how alike it looks, it just feels out of place. Tsk tsk, will your nose flatten if you press it"
Faced with the mockery, Bo Yanqing responded with a light chuckle, "Third Uncle worries too much. Today, everyone is here, and I'm officially meeting you all. I discussed with the three elders that in three days, I will host a banquet at the Gong Mansion to invite major families and clans to announce my identity. At that time, please come, all esteemed elders..."
"Hm, isn't the truth still up for debate What's there to announce that warrants such pomp and ceremony, making it seem like inheriting the head of the family" Gong Yu-hong scoffed, sipping his tea as he mocked Dian Baiyan Qing's performance.
"If Third Uncle suspects my identity, he is welcome to investigate. As for the head of the household position, you needn't worry about it. I am my mother's only daughter, so the position of head of the household will naturally belong to me sooner or later."
As soon as those words left her lips, Gong Yuanyi, who was seated at the front, let out a light snort. "My family has always revered strength above all else. To say that the head of the family is in your grasp now, hmph, little girl, you're speaking too boldly."
"Indeed, the strong are respected. My two uncles, big men as they were, never vied for my mother back then. It seems they were indeed weak."
Gong Yuan Yi and Gong Yuan Hong's eyes both turned cold, their icy gazes swept forward to the woman in front of them.
Mo Cang glanced at the woman standing beside him, her chin held high with an air of arrogance. He couldn't help but frown.
Her sharpness was a bit excessive.
Bo Yanqing lowered her eyes and smiled faintly, "Well, I've met you all. Let's end it here for today. Please don't miss the banquet in three days."
Having said that, Bo Yin walked up the stairs with her chin held high and strode away.
"She...Is there any rule anymore" Gong Yuanhong looked at the departing person with extreme dissatisfaction. "Mo Lao, is this the person you brought back"
Mo Cang also frowned, not expecting 'Shen Ningran' to be so arrogant. After all, everyone present was her elders, and she leaving directly like this was indeed disrespectful.
That self-assured swagger, there's a sense of "little man getting his way" about it.
"Third brother, let's go." Gong Yuanyi called out to Gong Yanhong.
Gong Yuanyang swept his arm through the air and turned to leave, following Gong Yuanyi. "Brother, this little girl is too arrogant! Is she trying to intimidate us old-timers"
Gong Yuan easily twitched the corner of his lip, "Where was the other Shen Ningran last night"
Gong Yuan Hong angrily said, "Going back to the Imperial City then."
"The invitation to the banquet in three days was sent to her."
Gong Yu'hong was taken aback. "Brother, are you going to stir up trouble"
Then, there will be two Shen Ningran at the banquet!
Gong Yuan Yi patted Gong Yuan Hong's shoulder and smiled, "This little girl dared to give us a hard time with her film, we naturally have to return the favor. Besides, she might not be telling the truth, and that might not be false either. We should carefully identify them for the sake of the Gong family, wouldn't you agree"
Gu Yuanhong's eyes flashed with understanding. "I understand, brother, I'll send someone right away."
