Qian Rouxuan looked weakly at Leng Mohao and saw his exceptionally cold gaze. Her heart shuddered, but the arrow was on the bowstring and had to be released.
She had previously thought about backing out, wandering outside the hotel with John for a long ti. If it weren’t for the exposure of those photos, she wouldn’t have taken such desperate asures.
She would’ve had a more thorough plan, but unfortunately, everything beca a bubble in the face of the photos.
Although Leng Mohao managed to suppress the matter with great effort, the impact in the short term was still huge.
Even if she wore a wig and disguised herself at the ti, anyone who knew or was familiar with her could guess that the woman was her at any mont.
In other words, this event completely shattered everything she had ticulously planned before.
She arranged for people to act today, choosing the day of the birthday banquet to create a non-present alibi. In such a public setting, anyone could prove her innocence.
She just received a ssage from Su ng saying success had been achieved, so now only Li Si is left. When the ti cos, she will discreetly remove the two thorns in her side, taking a big step closer on her path to becoming part of the elite.
She couldn’t say her plan was sure to succeed; there was always the chance of failure. What if it didn’t succeed? Leng Mohao already had so thoughts about her, which she had long sensed.
The Leng Family parents would certainly also resent her because of that matter!
At that ti, what would happen to John? Could he still enter the Leng Family upright and honorably?
Thus, she bit the bullet and ca, not for herself but for John, as a backup assurance.
In case of an unfavorable day, at least John had been recognized by the Leng Family, and she wouldn’t have any regrets.
Qian Rouxuan solemnly said, "Grandfather, today I brought John to celebrate your birthday!"
John stepped forward politely, "Great-grandfather, happy birthday to you!"
The entire room was in an uproar; the news was too shocking! Everyone knew that the Leng Family had celebrated two joyous events this year: one engagent and one wedding.
But who were this woman and great-grandson that suddenly erged before them? Were they the offspring from the romantic debts of Leng Da or Leng Er?
The guests speculated about the origins of the woman and child, and a buzz of discussion filled the hall. Tian Yaruo was anxiously seated, unable to stay calm. If the child were indeed Leng Mochen’s, what would happen to Li Si?
Yan Xuefeng remained silent. He already knew so things, but he hadn’t made up his mind. Although Tian Yaruo had deceived him by hiding Li Si’s true parentage, the affection they shared over the years was not fake and couldn’t simply be set aside.
Moreover, Kesong had just recently regained his health, and he didn’t know if the child could withstand the blow if they divorced, or if he might fall ill again.
Furthermore, Li Si was already engaged to Elder Leng’s grandson, and the family elders highly regarded the alliance between the two families.
Should things unravel, there would certainly be repercussions for both families. Besides, he was sowhat aware of the excessive things the Tian Family had done to the child. Whether Li Si would acknowledge them remained uncertain, and if resentnts arose...
Yan Kesong contemplated the scene before him, lost in thought.
So guests, quick-witted and well-inford, began recognizing the woman as sowhat familiar...
Mrs. Leng, seeing Mr. Leng Sr. already infuriated, quickly pulled Qian Rouxuan aside, whispering harshly, "What are you doing here? This is no place for you. Take the child and leave imdiately! I haven’t even settled the score with you for this stunt!"
Rouxuan, her eyes rimd with red, clung to John and refused to leave, loudly proclaiming, "Aunt, I know you dislike ! But John is your own grandson. It’s his great-grandfather’s birthday; he can’t co?"
Mrs. Leng, in her fury, slapped Rouxuan with all her might, leaving a red handprint imdiately visible on Rouxuan’s right cheek.
"Don’t even think about it! Get out now!" Mrs. Leng’s lips trembled with anger. She shouldn’t have gone soft; it was her own decision that led to today’s embarrassing situation.
Whether there was anything between Qian Rouxuan and Leng Mohao was not sothing to be tangled with at this venue. But she now created such a scene, was she not publicly slapping her own family, Leng Mochen, in the face?
Qian Rouxuan glanced at Leng Mochen, seeing him detached from the matter, while Li Si seed to be enjoying the drama. Her eyes glinted with darkness, thinking, "Li Si, there’s no need for you to gloat; you’re next!"
Qian Rouxuan gritted her teeth and pulled John down to kneel, "Grandfather, I shouldn’t have appeared at today’s event. But I had no choice but to bring the child here. Please have rcy and let Mochen acknowledge John! He is Mochen’s biological son!"
John raised his head and exclaid, "Grandma! Don’t you want John anymore?"
Mrs. Leng, driven to tears, inwardly liked John as a child, had they not made such a ss today, and if she couldn’t understand now, she would’ve lived in vain.
This was inviting a wolf into the house, two wolves, one big and one little!
The mont these words were spoken, the attendees turned their eyes towards Mrs. Leng with additional anings. Such incidents were not unheard of in high society, but everyone understood not to surface them.
This woman was no ordinary character; being able to cause a scene at the event indicated her extraordinary ans!
Whispers erged, speculating about Leng Mochen’s illegitimate child. Who didn’t know he just got engaged this Valentine’s Day, and this child is already so big? It seed the Leng Family was reluctant to accept it.
Everyone present was soone of notable status; now, without needing an announcent, all knew of the illegitimate child of the Leng Family.
Mr. Leng Sr. looked towards Leng Mohao and asked, "Mohao, what do you think?"
Having held onto the paternity report given by Lao Xu for a long ti yesterday, he hadn’t expected this. The grandson who had always been obedient and well-mannered before him had such sches.
However, he truly hadn’t expected the woman to go so far as to create a disturbance on this occasion. Did she think the Leng Family was an easy target? Or did she believe he was so old and blind that he couldn’t see clearly anymore?
Leng Mohao tried to calm himself and innocently looked at Mr. Leng Sr., "Grandfather, I can’t really say anything about this matter. After all, it’s Mochen’s doing!"
After speaking, he lowered his gaze to hide the panic in his eyes, clenching his fists tightly, worried that the old man might have discovered sothing?
But how could that be possible?
Zeng Qiuping was terrified; shouldn’t the old man be questioning Leng Mochen? Why was he asking Mohao? Sothing wasn’t right!
Mr. Leng Sr., with aning in his eyes, gazed at the eldest son’s family. Seeing the state of the mother and son, he sighed internally. This was a family misfortune; clearly, the eldest daughter-in-law was privy to the information.
"Mochen, what do you think?" Mr. Leng Sr. asked.
Leng Mochen coldly glanced at the kneeling Qian Rouxuan and her child, "What do you want to achieve by creating such a scene?"
Qian Rouxuan was stunned; the responses she anticipated from Leng Mochen didn’t appear. A simple, weightless question about her intentions pierced through appearances like a sharp sword, revealing the essence.
Could it be that Leng Mochen already knew sothing?
Instinctively, Qian Rouxuan glanced at Leng Mohao, only to see him not even sparing her a glance, instead whispering with Liu Jiaqi.
Her heart soured, and she spoke earnestly, "I don’t want anything! Nor would I! But John is after all the Leng Family’s flesh and blood. I can’t just watch everyone look down on him..."
