After reading my mind, everyone collectively begged me to watch the drama unfold!

As soon as the two entered the banquet, they attracted everyone's attention. Most of them looked at Gu Qingye, the president of the Gu Group, and some were puzzled as to why Gu Qingye, who had never brought a female companion before, had brought one today.

My gaze involuntarily shifted to Lin Guiyi, a very beautiful and elegant woman, but an unfamiliar face.

Who is this girl?

"Isn't this the real daughter the Lin family just recognized a few days ago?"

"Lin?"

"Yes, the Lin family you're thinking of. I was fortunate enough to attend the Lin family's family reunion ceremony."

The two walked together, revealing their tacit understanding and intimacy.

Gu Qingye introduced Lin Guiyi to several business partners, and then led Lin Guiyi to the dessert area.

"Guiyi, why don't you wander around here for a bit? Today's dessert was specially made by a French master chef. You can try it; I'm sure it will suit your taste. I have to leave now."

"go Go."

Seeing that Lin Guiyi was already engrossed in the dessert, Gu Qingye smiled helplessly and turned to leave.

Lin Guiyi brought over a few plates of small cakes and sat down on the sofa next to him.

[Mistresses, get ready for some gossip!]

"Here I am, host! I have good news for you."

Sensing the system's barely concealed excitement, Lin Guiyi asked, "What?"

[Ahhh, host, I've finally leveled up!]

[Wow, really!] Lin Guiyi was very excited. [Quick, quick, what's new after the upgrade?]

[I can now see videos and pictures related to the gossip, and I can even follow it in real time. Most importantly, I can connect with other systems! Waaah, I thought it would be a long time before I could see them!]

The system is super excited and super happy right now.

Wow, that's amazing! Let's go eat some watermelon and see how it goes!

One person and one system were immersed in joy, while in the banquet hall, people paused in unison. Who was speaking? The voice seemed to be right next to their ears. Everyone looked around but found nothing unusual.

The people talking exchanged glances, confirming that they could all hear the strange sound.

"Want some watermelon? Or some fruit?"

Those present were all shrewd individuals; they quickly recovered and continued their conversations with those around them as if nothing had happened. The scene remained unchanged, as if they hadn't heard a thing.

The sound rang out again a second later.

This old man had an affair with his eldest daughter-in-law and they even had a son together.

[No, what is this child? A grandson or a son?]

[Tsk tsk, the old man's wife and son are so pitiful. They've been kept in the dark all this time. They dote on their dear grandson/son, buying him whatever he wants. Look, it's been over ten years now, and the child is already in middle school. This eldest son has been acting as his younger brother's father for so long without even realizing it.]

[This old man is really something. How can he do this to his son? How can he do this to his wife?]

Wow, he's with his daughter-in-law and has a child. This son must be so frustrated having such a father. I want to know who this unfortunate child who was cheated on by his father is.

Upon hearing this juicy gossip, everyone was immediately drawn in, their eyes darting around, eager to know who it was.

The old man's heart skipped a beat, and he felt a moment of panic, but he quickly concealed it.

“Husband, this son is so pitiful. If he knew that his wife had a relationship with his father and had raised their child for so many years, he would go crazy,” said the elegantly dressed old lady.

"Yeah, this father is really incompetent."

"This man is a real scoundrel!" The woman frowned and uttered her disgusted assessment.

When the old lady couldn't see him, the old man's expression suddenly darkened, but when the woman looked over, he put on a smile again.

The voice continued to sound.

[Ahhh, this old man also sexually harassed his second daughter-in-law in private, threatening her not to tell anyone by taking advantage of his status as her father. They've done everything except that one thing, and the old man is even looking for an opportunity to do the full thing.]

Ugh, so disgusting!

Those who heard it found it disgusting; how could such a father exist!

The men couldn't help but think of their fathers at home, their minds racing, their faces growing increasingly grim. Could it be that their own fathers...?

Some were relieved that their fathers had long been sent back to their hometowns to enjoy their retirement, and that such a thing was simply impossible.

The more the old lady listened, the more she felt it was similar to her own family. She couldn't help but joke, "Honey, it feels just like our family. We also have two sons and a grandson who's a teenager." As she spoke, her voice slowed down, and she felt a vague unease, especially when she saw the momentary stiffness on her husband's face. That unease intensified.

"What nonsense are you spouting! You're cursing yourself!" the old man snapped.

This interruption made the old lady immediately forget what she was thinking, and she apologized immediately: "It was my fault for not saying it properly, ptooey ptooey ptooey."

"Let's go back, we still have things to do at the company."

The old man was talking and pulling the old woman away when suddenly a photo appeared in front of them. It was an intimate photo of the old man and a woman. The photo was very high-definition, and you could even see the fine hairs on their faces. The two of them froze instantly.

On the sofa, Lin Guiyi looked at the photo in front of him and immediately scooped up a few bites of cake to suppress the nausea.

In the photo, the two are very close. The old man looks to be in his sixties and is quite pregnant, while the woman looks very young and doesn't look like she's a mother of a teenager at all.

The two people are very different, yet they are closely entwined and behaving intimately, creating a sense of estrangement that makes one uncomfortable. It makes one want to look away, but one can't help but continue to look at the two people in the photo with disgust.

Some people try to look away from the photo in front of them, only to find that the photo still appears before their eyes, following their gaze.

This is amazing! Everyone's eyes lit up with excitement. Who is this amazing person?

The next second, the photo changed, but it was still the same person. Then, more than a dozen photos were changed, and new women appeared in them. Everyone guessed that this must be another daughter-in-law.

A crisp "slap" echoed throughout the hall.

Everyone's eyes were drawn to the man in the photo.

Someone recognized the old man and whispered to the people around him about crickets.

Feeling the stares of those around him, the old man grabbed the old woman's wrist tightly, intending to drag her away forcefully.

The next second, the old man felt his vision go black, followed by a sharp pain in his face, as if he had been hit hard by a heavy hammer.

Before he could even catch his breath, the fists rained down on him again, one after another, relentlessly striking his body.

The old man's body couldn't withstand it at all. He staggered backward and fell heavily to the ground, curling up and covering his head with his hands to resist the attack.

He didn't know how much time had passed, but feeling that the heavy blows had stopped coming, the old man slowly raised his head. When his gaze focused, his body trembled involuntarily. It was his eldest son.

"Don't be impulsive, son! Killing someone will land you in jail!" The old lady stopped her son, who was about to step forward.

The old lady was devastated when she saw the photo, but her son's actions brought her back to her remaining sanity.

Seeing his father lying on the ground in a disheveled state, Matthew roared, "You're my father! Why did you do this! And that bitch, that bastard, I will never let them get away with this!"

The old man shouted, "I'm your father! Are you even human? A son hitting his father is an outrage!"

The old man stood up, took a step back, and moved to a safe spot, still trying to maintain his fatherly dignity.

However, he found the injury on his face particularly funny, but he was unaware of it.

The three people were surrounded by people who watched their actions as if they were watching a show.

Their eyes held a hint of schadenfreude, their lips curled up slightly, revealing a barely perceptible sneer, and they occasionally whispered among themselves, discussing the sudden accident.
