When the luxurious and lively scene in the hall came into view, the smile on Lu Erya's face suddenly froze.
Madam Lu was stunned. "What... is going on?!"
Is there any banquet at the Lu family today?
Why didn't anyone inform them?
Lu Erya stared intently at Lu Qingtang, who was standing on the podium. She was wearing a champagne-colored dress, with her long hair tied up. She was standing next to her father Lu, like a little princess who had grown up being spoiled. Her whole body was filled with nobility and beauty. A sinister look flashed in her eyes.
Lu Qingtang held the wine glass in his hand, looking down at Lu Erya and Madam Lu with a playful yet cold expression, "You're back just in time..."
When Lu Erya heard this, her eyelids twitched. For some reason, she suddenly had an extremely bad premonition in her heart.
She raised the corners of her lips with difficulty, "Dad, Sheng'er, what... is going on?"
Lu Qingtang looked at Lu Erya's frail and pale face, raised his chin proudly, and said with a smile, "Don't you understand? Madam Lu is useless and always messes up Shengsheng's family recognition banquet. There's no other way, I can only trouble Mr. Lu to personally take action and hold another one specially for Shengsheng..."
Lu Erya's already pale face turned pale in an instant.
She had ruined Lu Wensheng's previous family recognition banquet, so that until now, the Lu family has never publicly acknowledged Lu Wensheng's identity to the outside world.
In everyone's eyes, the eldest daughter of the Lu family... is still Lu Erya.
Unexpectedly, Lu Wensheng had kept it a secret from her. She didn't know how he persuaded Lu's father to hold another wedding for her.
Lu Erya secretly resented this, with a hint of fear and hurt in her eyes. She slowly turned her gaze to Lu Qingtang's father and said softly, "Dad... you wanted to hold a banquet for Sheng'er, why didn't you tell Mom and me... in advance..."
Lu's father looked at Lu Erya's pale and weak appearance. Although he was angry about what Lu Erya had done to Lu Wensheng, they had lived together for eighteen years after all... there must be some affection between them.
He said calmly, "It will be over soon."
Lu Qingtang snorted coldly, his eyes showing seven parts of arrogance and three parts of coldness. He said with a smile, "Mr. Lu, it's your turn to speak."
When Lu's father heard Lu Qingtang calling him the cold and distant Mr. Lu and not even calling him "Father", he became more and more dissatisfied with his daughter.
He suppressed his unhappiness and looked at the guests below the stage with a proper smile on his face. "Welcome everyone to the Lu family. Today's banquet is hosted by me for my biological daughter, Lu Wensheng."
He glanced at Lu Qingtang beside him with gentle eyes, "This is my biological daughter. Eighteen years ago, due to an accident, she was left adrift. She was only found half a year ago."
"Her name is Lu Wensheng, and she is the eldest daughter of the Lu family."
There was silence for a moment.
The guests looked at the smiling girl standing beside Lu Fu, dressed in fine clothes and expensive jewelry, with a hint of playfulness in her elegance.
In terms of appearance and temperament alone, the real daughter of the Lu family who grew up in an orphanage is indeed much more outstanding than Lu Erya.
Not to mention his IQ and talent... Lu Erya can't even compare to him.
If she didn't have a "mental illness", if a girl like this were released... who knows how many rich young men would be snapping her up.
Although beauties have thorns and are difficult to approach, it does not affect their stunning beauty and appreciation.
Everyone was very respectful and applauded with smiles on their faces.
"Congratulations, Mr. Lu, for finding your daughter..."
"A tiger father will have a dog daughter. Miss Lu is extremely intelligent and her future is bound to be limitless..."
Applause and congratulations resounded throughout the Lu family hall.
Lu Qingtang looked at Madam Lu and Lu Erya, who were standing awkwardly at the door with pale faces like two idiots. His eyes were bright and he raised the corners of his lips in sarcasm.
Doesn’t Lu Erya like to show off her identity as the eldest daughter of the Lu family in front of Lu Wensheng the most?
Didn’t Mrs. Lu always say that Lu Wensheng was the child of a relative of the Lu family?
Now, Lu Wensheng has become the real eldest daughter of the Lu family.
And Lu Erya...has fallen into the status of a lowly adopted daughter known to everyone!
Lu Erya was so angry that her heart ached when she saw the mockery and provocation in Lu Qingtang's eyes.
She glared at Lu Qingtang fiercely, raised her hand to her heart, and trembled as she sobbed, "Mom... I'm not feeling well. Let's go upstairs and rest... okay?"
Mrs. Lu was also caught off guard by this scene.
She was angry that Lu's father didn't even discuss such a big thing with her in advance.
And Lu Wensheng... She knew that Erya had just been shot by her and was at her weakest, but she didn't even think of changing the time.
Seeing Lu Erya trembling all over, tears in her eyes, and a look of great shock, Mrs. Lu quickly supported her and comforted her distressedly, "It's okay, Mom will take you upstairs."
Mrs. Lu was supporting Lu Erya and was about to go upstairs when she heard Lu's father's voice again from the platform. "To make up for my debt to my daughter, I have decided to give her 10% of the shares of the Lu Group..."
As soon as these words were spoken, Madam Lu and Lu Erya were startled and stopped in their tracks, looking up in disbelief.
Ten percent of Lu's shares? !
Give Lu Wensheng? !
Is Lu's father crazy?!
You know... as the heir of the Lu family, Lu Xiuyuan only owns 10%.
And Lu Erya only has 5%!
Now, not only did Lu's father announce Lu Wensheng's identity in public, he even gave her 10% of the company's shares... This is too ridiculous!
Lu Erya was so angry that her whole body shook uncontrollably.
Mrs. Lu didn't even care about the occasion. She looked at Lu's father in panic and asked sharply, "Why did you suddenly give Lu Wensheng so many shares?!"
Lu Qingtang raised his hand to take the equity transfer document from Lu's father, holding it in his hand, and asked coldly, "What do you mean by this, Madam Lu? Do you think that Lu's shares... shouldn't be given to Shengsheng?!"
Madam Lu choked, met Lu Qingtang's cold gaze, and looked away guiltily, "That's not what I meant..."
"Even if we have to give it to you, shouldn't we give you 5% like Erya? Why 10% all of a sudden..."
Lu Qingtang said with a smile, "Of course it's because Shengsheng is the biological blood of the Lu family. Whatever the biological blood of the Lu family has, Shengsheng should have too!"
"What? Is Madam Lu still a son-in-law and thinks Shengsheng shouldn't be treated the same as Lu Xiuyuan?!"
Mrs. Lu was struck by what she was thinking. She froze for a moment and said coldly, "You just came home and don't know anything, yet you got so many shares all at once... This is inappropriate..."
Lu Wensheng's "second personality" was a ticking time bomb. If she were to be given another 10% stake, Mrs. Lu couldn't imagine how she would bully Lu Erya next...
Lu Qingtang snorted coldly and said with a smile, "I am happy to do so, and so is Mr. Lu. Madam Lu, as an outsider, what qualifications do you have to object?!"
She's an outsider?!
When Mrs. Lu heard these words suddenly, she was so angry that she almost fell down on the spot.
She glared at Lu Qingtang, too angry to speak, "Lu Wensheng, you..."
All the guests at the scene lowered their heads, trying hard not to show any strangeness in their expressions.
Although what Miss Lu said was not very pleasant, strictly speaking, it was not wrong.
In the Lu family, no matter how Mrs. Lu favors Lu Erya, no one will say anything.
But Lu's Company is entirely the property of the Lu family, and the distribution of equity is not something that Mrs. Lu, who married into the family, can interfere with.
Lu Qingtang looked at Mrs. Lu's face, which had turned ashen with anger, and smiled happily.
Immediately, he turned his gaze to the gloomy Lu Erya, with a playful smile on his face, "As for Lu Erya——"
