The richest man's parents were kidnapped, and his adorable son captivated the entire family.

In the banquet hall,

The bigwigs all took out carefully prepared gifts.

First, there's Nobel Prize laureate in Physics, Mr. Rong Huasen.

He looked at Mengmeng with tenderness and affection, and handed her the physics book he had compiled with all his knowledge.

"Little Mengmeng, have you read the physics book that Great-Grandpa sent you last time? Are you interested in physics? Do you want to become Great-Grandpa's apprentice and learn physics from him?"

Mengmeng blinked her big eyes and replied in a childish voice:

"Thank you, Great-Grandpa! Mengmeng has read the book, but she doesn't quite understand it yet..."

Before the words were even finished, Grandma Qian Yali, the chief designer of the manned space program, excitedly stepped forward.

He handed a brand-new aerospace model to Mengmeng, his face full of anticipation, and asked:

"Mengmeng, are space models fun? Great-Grandma can take you to visit the space center, let you see rockets launch, and experience what it's like to explore space, okay?"

Mengmeng happily accepted the model, smiling sweetly.

This made Grandma Qian even more fond of her, and she couldn't help but pinch her little cheek.

Immediately afterwards, Jiang Runqing, an expert in quantum communication and president of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, stepped forward and placed a miniature quantum chip model in her hand.

He asked gently, "Mengmeng, are you interested in quantum communication? This technology can make information transmission faster and more secure, and it could change the whole world in the future!"

...Faced with the warm and caring concern of these influential figures, Mengmeng smiled, her eyes crinkling with joy.

A faint blush rose on her cheeks.

Standing to the side, Xie Beiling watched as everyone rushed to curry favor with Mengmeng, feeling both joy and a little anxious.

He pushed his way to the front, cleared his throat, and interrupted the crowd.

"Grandpas and grandmas, stop fighting! Didn't you notice?"

Look what Mengmeng is wearing around her neck!!

The big shots were taken aback, and all turned their gazes to Mengmeng's neck.

Then, I noticed that she was wearing a translucent green jade thumb ring around her neck.

That is the family heirloom symbolizing the Xie family's successor status!

Everyone looked surprised!

No one expected the Xie family to love Mengmeng to this extent!

However, it's not that they can't do it!

I never expected the Xie family to be so cunning, managing to get there first!

Xie Beiling smiled smugly and proudly announced:

"Mengmeng is already practically a member of the Xie family."

She's my little apprentice; she'll be learning medicine from me in the future!

The bigwigs fell silent for a moment, then their emotions rose even higher.

Grandma Qian Yali, not to be outdone, took off the jade bracelet from her wrist and excitedly stuffed it into Mengmeng's hand, coaxing, "Little Mengmeng, wear this, and you can learn about aerospace from Grandma in the future, okay?"

Grandpa Rong Huasen then took out his phone and dialed his son's number.

He commanded sternly, "You brat! You have thirty minutes to deliver the Rong family heirloom to the Xie family!"

"Since you've remained unmarried and childless, I, your father, no longer recognize you as my heir!"

The big shots all rushed to curry favor with Mengmeng, their eyes filled with doting affection.

Mengmeng felt their sincere care, and her heart was filled with warmth.

Her eyes curved into crescent moons as she smiled.

Sweetie felt a pang of sadness when she saw Xie Beiling give Mengmeng the jade thumb ring that symbolized his status as the heir of the Xie family.

She tried her best to please Xie Beiling, her nominal uncle, but failed to earn his respect.

As soon as Mengmeng arrived in the capital, she was showered with love and affection by the Xie family.

The big shots around her also presented Mengmeng with precious gifts, each of them with doting and affection on their faces.

Mengmeng was surrounded by warmth and love, just like a real little princess.

I felt like an ugly duckling, a lump of mud...

As Sweetie watched all this, a twisted expression involuntarily appeared on her face.

His heart was filled with resentment and humiliation.

She stared intently at Mengmeng.

If Mengmeng dares to expose the truth about her impersonation, she will definitely make Mengmeng pay the price!!

Sweetie looked around and, finding Xie Qingyi not there, breathed a slight sigh of relief.

She must calm down now and absolutely not reveal any flaws.

Suddenly, Tian Tian heard Xie Qingyi's voice coming from the direction of the bathroom.

He appears to be talking to the maid.

"It's so noisy outside, who's here?"

The maid replied, "Young Master Beiling has arrived carrying a little girl named Mengmeng."

Xie Qingyi's tone suddenly became excited.

"What? It's Mengmeng? I need to go out and see!"

Sweetie was startled, seeing Xie Qingyi about to leave the restroom.

She had a sudden inspiration, quickly grabbed a mop from the side, and quietly wedged it under the doorknob to secure the door.

With a soft "click," the door was locked.

Xie Qingyi inside tried to open the door, but found that she couldn't turn the doorknob at all.

She knocked on the door anxiously and called out, "Is anyone home? Open the door! Let me out!"

Sweetie sneered as she closed the door to the luxurious bathroom, completely shutting out all the sounds inside.

She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, a smug smile appearing on her face.

As long as Xie Qingyi remains trapped inside and cannot see Mengmeng, today's crisis can be resolved smoothly.

She knew it was a risky move, but in order to preserve her status and position,

Sweetie has long since resorted to any means necessary.

In the lobby,

Grandma Xie and former high-ranking leader Chi Cheng sat upright in the center of the hall.

The two looked at each other, their eyes filled with affection and satisfaction for Mengmeng.

Seeing her grandson Xie Beiling hand over the jade thumb ring, symbolizing the Xie family's heir, to Mengmeng...

Grandma Xie didn't find anything wrong with it; on the contrary, she was secretly pleased.

She knew Xie Beiling didn't want to get married, and she was willing to treat Mengmeng as her own great-granddaughter.

But... will the Gu family be willing to let them go?

Those were European royalty and nobility!

Chi Cheng also developed a fondness for Mengmeng, and he showed a rare smile.

However, due to his special status, he had no family fortune or heirlooms to give as a gift.

He took out a beautifully carved jade pendant, but one that was covered in the marks of time, and handed it to Mengmeng.

He solemnly said, "Mengmeng, if you encounter any difficulties in the future, just take out this jade token and you will be able to get through them without any obstacles."

The moment Chi Cheng spoke, the hall fell silent.

When everyone saw the jade tablet, their faces were filled with shock.

They all knew that this jade pendant had been with Mr. Chi for decades...

It also once saved Chi Cheng's life by shielding him from an attack by a small egg.

It played a crucial role in the remarkable military achievements made by Grandpa Chi.

This jade plaque is truly priceless, symbolizing Elder Chi's achievements and supreme honor.

The fact that Mr. Chi gave such a precious jade pendant to Mengmeng is enough to prove his special affection for her.

Chi Cheng's calm and serious expression made Mengmeng slightly nervous.

Her hand involuntarily grabbed Xie Beiling's clothes.

She smiled sweetly, hesitated, and asked softly,

"Uncle Ling~~ Can I accept this?"

Seeing this, Xie Beiling smiled, patted her shoulder, and took the jade pendant without hesitation, placing it in her hand.

"It's a kind gesture from the old man, Mengmeng should accept it."

Mengmeng obediently nodded and obediently accepted the jade pendant.

Bian smiled sweetly and gently, "Thank you, Great-Grandpa."

Chi Cheng smiled slightly and then asked, "Mengmeng, are you free tomorrow?"

Let's go see those two old houses I gave you last time.

The other bigwigs couldn't help but chime in with a sarcastic remark: "That house is nothing, just a small, run-down courtyard house next to the Forbidden City, bustling with people and cars every day, it's very noisy."

"Mengmeng, why don't you go check out my villa in the suburbs? It's very peaceful and the scenery is beautiful."

Mengmeng blinked her big eyes, her smile making them curve into little crescent moons.

"Great! I want to see them all!"

As Tian Tian watched this scene, she could barely contain her jealousy and anger.

What do you mean by a small, dilapidated courtyard house? That's the place countless people dream of!

It's right next to the Forbidden City! Even a toilet there would be priceless!

And that Mr. Chi is someone you can only see on the evening news!

Even he dotes on and spoils Mengmeng!

Sweetie's jealousy grew increasingly intense.
