The screams were like a sharp blade, tearing the temporary tranquility in the banquet hall apart unexpectedly.

Every guest present instinctively focused on the terrifying voice at the stairs.

The expressions on the faces of the Gu family father and son changed, as gloomy as the bottom of a pot. They were sensitively aware that the scream was an ominous sign.

Ye Chuyin and Ye Peining looked at each other, a hint of teasing flashed in their eyes, and they understood each other tacitly that the good show was about to begin.

But before that, they couldn't let the dirty things happening upstairs ruin the birthday party.

Ye Chuyin put one hand behind her back, and while everyone's attention was focused elsewhere, she silently performed a simple illusion.

At this moment, two waitresses rushed down from upstairs in panic, with sharp screams accompanying their footsteps, which made all the guests present look sideways.

Ye Peining took a step forward swiftly and caught the two people accurately. She shouted coldly:

"Stop! What are you doing?"

The two waiters seemed to have come back to their senses after being called back to their senses by Ye Peining's voice, and they woke up from their previous panic.

"I...we had a nightmare...there were zombies in the dream!"

"Yeah, yeah! Me too. I dreamed about zombies jumping on me and trying to bite me. I was so scared!"

Ye Peining's eyes were stern, and she scolded: "How dare they be lazy and sleep during work hours? Uncle housekeeper, take them to deal with it now!!"

"Yes! Miss!" A middle-aged butler immediately stepped forward and led two waiters away quickly.

Zhang Zhishan recalled the familiar scream with confusion on her face, feeling that it did not match the voices of the two waitresses in Ye Peining's hands.

A bad premonition arose in her heart, and she looked around hurriedly. No matter how she recalled it, that sound sounded like Gu Tingting's scream.

She looked around anxiously several times but didn't see Gu Tingting. She felt more and more uneasy.

While everyone's attention was still focused on the Ye family and the two waiters, Zhang Zhishan took Gu's mother Zhang's hand and tried to move quietly to the back of the crowd.

Ye Chuyin had already noticed their little movements, and cast a look at Ye Peining with a playful smile.

Receiving Ye Chuyin's eye signal, Ye Peining returned a knowing look. It was obvious that they had already discovered the actions of Zhang Zhishan and the other person.

"Ms. Zhang and this lady, where are you going?"

Ye Chuyin's cold voice came from behind Zhang Zhishan, causing Zhang Zhishan and Gu's mother Zhang's hands to freeze in the air.

Zhang Zhishan turned her head somewhat stiffly and put on a shy smile:

"I'm going to take my aunt to the bathroom and will be back soon."

"Oh? There is a restroom in the hall. Miss, don't you know this?" Ye Chuyin's tone contained a subtle hint of sarcasm.

"I know...I know. I forgot about it just now. Thank you Miss Ye Er for reminding me." Zhang Zhishan had no choice but to pretend to walk into the bathroom with Gu's mother.

Damn it! She originally planned to leave the hall and find a chance to go upstairs to investigate and see if the scream just now was made by Gu Tingting.

But now the plan has failed, as the only entrance to the second floor is controlled by the Ye family.

That voice was most likely Gu Tingting's! She had to find a way to get up to the second floor and bring out that girl who was always causing trouble!

I will never let her cause any more trouble in the Ye family. Otherwise, how can I explain to the Gu family when I return?

Gu Wancheng's face was as gloomy as the abyss. He snorted unhappily, and his voice echoed in the banquet hall:

"Shi'an, at this point, the engagement between my son Tingyu and the so-called 'fake daughter' Ye Chuyu is cancelled!"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was an even more intense whispering in the banquet hall, and the discussions rose and fell like a tide.

"The 'fake daughter' was finally broken off from engagement!"

“Although she grew up in the Ye family, how can she be compared with the real daughter?”

"The disguise will be exposed eventually. Who would want to marry a 'fake daughter'? Even if we want to get married, we will naturally choose a real daughter of a noble family!"

"You are right, but it is rumored that this 'fake daughter' got pregnant before marriage and gave birth to an illegitimate child. Is this the real reason why the Gu family broke off the engagement?"

"Pregnant before marriage? Illegitimate child? Does this fake daughter have no shame? She can even have an illegitimate child!"

"Tsk tsk... your private life is a mess!"

"I'm different from you. I only care about who the father of the child is, hehe..."

Those harsh words pierced the hearts of Ye Shian and his wife like needles. Their faces turned pale and they hurriedly turned to Ye Chuyin, fearing that she could not withstand the waves of bad words.

The two of them quickly approached Ye Chuyu and comforted her softly:

"Xiaoyu, we really love you. This love has nothing to do with blood. Even though you are an orphan, we still treat you as our own daughter."

"Yes, Xiaoyu, and you, Ningning. You don't know that when Ningning was missing, it was Xiaoyu who gave us the strength and hope to persevere!"

Father Ye then put his arms around his two daughters’ shoulders and said firmly:

“No matter what your blood relationship is, you will always be our precious daughters! Today is a happy day, we can talk about these unpleasant things later.

For now, let’s deal with the situation at hand.”

After saying this, he gently patted the two men on the shoulders, then turned around, cleared his throat, and announced to everyone in the audience with unquestionable majesty:

"Today is the 18th birthday party for the two daughters of my Ye family! I solemnly declare here that no matter whether Xiaoyu is our biological daughter or not, she will always be a member of my Ye family! Xiaoyu and Ningning are both the most pampered daughters of my Ye family!

I, Ye Shian, will not allow anyone to slander Xiaoyu! Her private life and children have nothing to do with you!

As for the Gu family's talk of canceling the engagement, since Xiaoyu doesn't like your Gu family's Gu Tingyu, then the engagement between the two families will be officially canceled today!"

Mother Ye also took a step forward and echoed in a sonorous and powerful voice:

"That's right! Cancel the engagement! But it's not your Gu family's unilateral decision, but our Ye family disdains to marry you, Gu Tingyu! We propose to cancel the engagement with your Gu family!

I hope everyone here can hear this clearly! "

These words were like thunder, shocking the whole audience.

The expressions of the Gu family father and son were extremely ugly.

At this moment, a sharp and dissatisfied old woman's voice sounded:

"I don't agree! Shian, are you confused? Ye Chuyu is just a wild girl that no one wants! How can you ask the Gu family to cancel the engagement?"

Everyone's eyes turned to a young woman with wavy curls and a rose-red skirt, and a middle-aged woman covered in jewels, who slowly walked out from the side, supporting an old woman who was leaning on a cane and walking unsteadily.
