“Mom!” Yun Liu exclaimed in disbelief, shocked and touched. She hugged Gu Wei again and shed tears of gratitude.

The fans and even the Gu family were shocked. Stunned, Gu An looked at Zheng Xiu. ‘ The Yuns gave away their companyjust like that? he thought disbelievingly. Although Yun Entertainment hadn’t been established for very long, it had quite a good reputation. It became famous due to several low-cost documentaries and had many artistes under it. ‘The company has prettygood prospects, and the Yun family actuallygave it to Yun Liu? They really value their adopted daughter,’ Gu An thought.

The gifts given by Yun Liu’s biological parents seem too meager in comparison. However, Zheng Xiu didn’t feel embarrassed. She hadn’t expected Yun Liu to really be able to get her hands on the Yun family’s company. ‘ That child is really something,’ Zheng Xiu thought. ‘Her capability is one to be reckoned with. It seems Gu He has to rely on this young lady in the future.’

Gu Wei was touched by this big moment for her daughter and pushed the unpleasant argument she had with her son to the back of her mind. Yun Zhang had accused her of not knowing her own daughter. ‘I raised Yun Liu myself. Of course, I would know her character the best! Yun Liu is, and will always be, my daughter!’

The press conference ended and left the audience, especially the media reporters, with much material and topics to discuss. This time, Yun Liu was finally able to dominate the trending searches and headlines as she wished. Tan Ning and Yun Liu looked at each other and smiled. It felt good to get what they wanted.

Next up was the banquet. Some reporters had invitations and stayed to attend the evening banquet, while the fans received small gifts and autographed photos that Yun Liu had carefully prepared and left satisfied.

Bai Jie, Chang Hui, and the others only came before the banquet began. There was no need for them to come any earlier—they wouldn’t want to give the girl too much credit. Yun Liu wasn’t that important to the Gu family, after all!

That was the implied message the Gu family constantly gave Yun Liu and everyone else. Yun Liu secretly endured the subtle humiliation. Thanks to the Yuns, she now had wealth and resources. With that, she could slowly plot and get the respect she deserved. ‘Theres no hurry,’ she reassured herself. ‘Once I become more popular, I’ll have the Gu family vilified for their every neglect. Then they’ll know howpowerful I am and regret looking down on me.’

The others were nothing as long as she was of one mind with her biological mother and controlled her adoptive family. Since the press conference was successfully over, she and Tan Ning had achieved their goal. As for the Gu family using her banquet later to deal with Gu Fei’s matter… If things went well, it would count as her contributing to the family; if things didn’t go well, the ones shamed would be the Gu family and not her. Her fans would sympathize with her, and she might even be able to use this to gain a new batch of followers!

Therefore, she shrugged off her timid physicality and welcomed the guests gracefully and composedly. This caused her female cousins to look at her with new eyes, jealousy clear in their gazes. Yun Liu straightened her back and inwardly disdained these women, who could only rely on marriage to gain a place in their family.

Chen Yao wasn’t dressed in her usual dark and drab colors. Instead, she wore a sky-blue embroidered cheongsam, looking imposingly regal and elegant. Her nieces paled in comparison and even seemed a little frumpy. Gu Bei, on the other hand, was dressed in a navy blue Chinese-style suit, and there were no traces of his previous illness on his face.

Gu An hurriedly came forward to greet them. “Uncle Gu Bei! I heard you were sick! I wanted to visit right away, but I was overseas and couldn’t make it back in time. I was so worried! Judging by your complexion, I take it you’re all fine

Gu Bei chuckled, “Of course. I’ve never been better. I’ll even race you to prove it. How about it? I feel like I can run half a marathon now.”

Gu An’s Uncle Gu Bei wasn’t too much older than he was and wasn’t as austere and serious as his brother, Gu An’s father. The man was very close to Gu An and his elder brothers.

Gu An said smilingly, “Then your health is better than mine, Uncle. I wouldn’t dare humor the thought that I could still run half a marathon.”

Chen Yao laughed. “Don’t listen to his bragging! With that heart of his, we won’t even let him watch half a marathon, let alone let him run it! He can’t stress his heart too much!”

Gu An quickly smiled and said, “Uncle Gu Bei’s health is only so good thanks to you taking such great care of him, Aunt Chen Yao.”

Zheng Xiu praised with a smile, “Aunt Chen Yao, you look so beautiful today in that dress. Your elegance and poise leave us all in the dust.”

Chen Yao spread her arms to show off her cheongsam and remarked, “It looks good, doesn’t it? I didn’t dare to wear it at first because I felt the design was a little too young for me. It was Yun Nan who urged me to wear it. Come, let me introduce you all to my granddaughter!”

She pulled Yun Nan, who was following behind her, to the front.

Yun Nan was wearing a pale blue modified cheongsam today. It was obvious at a glance that it was from the same series as Chen Yao’s dress. However, judging by the color, Chen Yao’s dress was the main star, while Yun Nan’s was a supporting piece. Both dresses complemented and reflected each other’s beauty and were so beautiful that others couldn’t take their eyes off them..
