The surroundings suddenly became quiet. Shen Zhao did not pay attention to what the people on the stage said. She turned around and looked at the stage.
Under the spotlight, an elderly man slowly walked onto the stage, supported by a man and a woman.
Although his face was covered with wrinkles, his pair of drooping phoenix eyes could gleam with a frightening sharpness. When you were stared at by him, you could not help but feel a chill down your spine.
Moreover, Shen Zhao always felt that he had seen that pair of eyes somewhere before, and there was an indescribable sense of familiarity.
She turned her head to look at Mu Yanchen beside her. He was watching everything above calmly. She looked into his eyes. Yes, it was exactly such a pair of phoenix eyes that she faced day and night, but the old man's was in his twilight years, while the one in front of her was in the prime of life.
On either side of the old man were two people who looked extremely similar. One of the men had a feminine appearance, a pair of gentle eyes, and a warm smile that made people want to get close to him.
The woman next to him was older but still charming. Shen Zhao had seen her in some old movies. She was once a popular movie queen, Song Si.
Time flies but her beauty remains. From a distance, there are almost no visible traces of time on her face. Coupled with her strict body management, Shen Zhao only feels that she is an enchanting woman who has just turned 30 but has been up and down in the business world. He can sense a sense of competence in her that other rich wives do not have.
Immediately, Shen Zhao guessed accurately who the old man standing in the middle was.
It was Mu Yanchen’s biological father, Mu Yingfeng.
The two people on the side are probably Song Si from the second house and her son Mu Guichao, who is Mu Yanchen's third brother and Duan Luchong's immediate superior.
Shen Zhao stood in the audience and observed quietly. Even though Mu Yingfeng was wearing makeup, she could still see some of his abnormalities.
She glanced at Mu Yanchen who was standing beside her. He seemed to be unaffected by the people in this family. There was no ripple in his eyes. However, Mu Yingfeng's symptoms were so similar to his! Most importantly, Mu Yingfeng's physical condition seemed to be worse than when Mu Yanchen was ill!
How dare someone like him attend such a banquet? Isn't he afraid of being embarrassed in front of world celebrities?
All I can say is that she really doesn't understand these powerful people, who can do anything for those things.
"You want to ask him why he would attend such a banquet despite being so ill? Is that right?"
Suddenly, Mu Yanchen looked calmly at the so-called biological father on the stage and said.
"how come?"
Shen Zhao glanced at him in shock, "How do you know what I'm thinking?"
"I guessed it from the way you looked at him. I thought so too, for many years, but now there is no need to, and I don't want to know the answer."
Mu Yingfeng stood on the stage, supported by Mu Guichao and Song Si, and walked tremblingly to the prepared microphone.
He showed impatience and shook off Mu Guichao and Song Si's hands heavily, then carefully moved to the microphone. It was actually only one step, but it seemed as if he had walked thousands of miles.
His expression was solemn. Shen Zhao was standing at the side of the stage. He could see the pain he couldn't hide when he looked up. Even in this situation, he still insisted...
He picked up the microphone and showed a smile that he thought was pretty good, but in fact it was hideous and twisted. He coughed a few times, then took a deep breath and said, "Thank you all for coming. Today will be the day I retire, and I will also announce my future successor." He smiled at Mu Guichao and then looked at the guests in the audience. "As for who it will be, I will announce it at the end of the banquet. I wish you all a pleasant night!"
Mu Yingfeng took a deep breath to finish this short sentence, and just as he finished, the spotlight went out.
But Shen Zhao still saw clearly that Mu Yingfeng fell backwards on the stage, and several people supported him from behind to prevent him from falling.
There was no chaos on the stage because all the lights were on Mu Guichao. Several celebrities picked up champagne and walked onto the stage.
The people on the stage left very quickly and did not cause any chaos at the scene. Even the celebrities did not notice how they left.
"Is there a mechanism there?" Shen Zhao looked at the dark spot on the stage in confusion.
Mu Yanchen nodded imperceptibly, "It is indeed there."
It also leads to a nostalgic place, his mother's home.
"Miss Shen!" A familiar voice called out.
Shen Zhao looked towards the source of the voice. It was Li Chengyi. There was no surprise on her face. It would be strange if someone with Li Chengyi's strength was not invited.
Her eyes fell on the woman next to him. She looked 50% like Li Chengyi, but was more beautiful than Li Chengyi.
She walked out of the glass box, wearing a red low-cut satin evening gown that made her look even more charming. She had bold facial features to begin with, and with her makeup she looked like a red rose blooming in the night sky, eye-catching but with thorns, making her difficult to approach. One could imagine how she stood out among the noble ladies back then.
But her eyes now were empty and lifeless, like a beautiful doll, beautiful but without a soul.
She looked much better.
Li Chengyi brought Li Rao towards Shen Zhao and stood in front of her, but Li Rao stood behind Li Chengyi, and she seemed reluctant to come forward.
The two girls are beautiful in their own ways. If Li Rao is the rose with thorns, Shen Zhao is the white lotus in the water, illusory and ethereal.
Li Cheng turned sideways and introduced to Li Rao with a smile, "This is Miss Shen, your savior."
Li Rao raised the corner of her eye and looked at Mu Yanchen in horror, then quickly set her gaze on Shen Zhao. She seemed much quieter than before, and no longer had the arrogance she had before. She was completely reborn.
"Hello, Miss Shen, thank you."
"Hi, I'm glad you're awake."
As he spoke, Shen Zhao stretched out his hand and held it in the air. Li Rao stared at the slender and white hand, and it took her a while to realize that Shen Zhao wanted to shake hands with her.
But she raised her eyelashes and glanced at Mu Yanchen cautiously, like a frightened rabbit. Seeing that Mu Yanchen didn't look at her, she boldly reached out her hand. Her fingertips quickly withdrew after touching Shen Zhao, and then she looked up at Mu Yanchen's face fearfully. Seeing that he didn't react, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Not only Li Chengyi saw this process, but even Shen Zhao frowned. If she didn't know some inside information and understand Mu Yanchen's character, she would really think that Mu Yanchen had bullied Li Rao in the past and that was why she was so afraid of him now.
Li Cheng glanced at Mei Bai who was standing behind him. Mei Bai understood and walked forward, "Miss, today's party is not fun. Let's go to the room prepared by the master to rest."
Although it was a rest, it was just an excuse Li Chengyi made up to protect Li Rao.
