I've already discussed it with Xu Qing. Bian Jiahui will be his date and enter the banquet hall. With him there, no one will dare to stop us.

Upon entering the old house, the middle-aged man sitting in the center of the sofa is Fu Shaozheng, the head of the Fu family. He is only a little older than Fu Shaotang, but it is said that his health has been poor in recent years, and he seems to have a very serious illness.

Looking at him from this angle, he appears to be much older than Fu Shaotang, and seems to have difficulty walking, as he is holding a cane.

Those who came to the banquet offered gifts as soon as they entered, surrounding Fu Shaozheng and showering him with compliments.

At this moment, Fu Xinyi stood beside him, smiling as she faced the praise from everyone. My father was also standing next to her, saying flattering things, looking particularly obsequious.

I don't know what the two of them were talking about, but my dad suddenly looked up at the crowd, and when his eyes met mine, he quickly waved.

As soon as I walked toward him, Fu Xinyi came to my side, took my arm, and led me to Fu Shaozheng.

"Dad, this is the Jiang family's daughter. When I was wandering around, I was very grateful for her help and care."

After he finished speaking, Fu Shaozheng's gaze fell on me. He looked me up and down, and a look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes.

"Since you like her, the two of you should get along well. I've heard that Mr. Jiang has a very strict upbringing, and I believe that Miss Jiang will definitely be a very good wife in the future."

After listening to this, my dad nodded in agreement, praising me for being sensible and obedient since I was a child. He also mentioned that I now run an intelligent robot company, and that the company that caused a stir online recently is under my name.

During the conversation, Fu Shao's gaze toward me became increasingly satisfied, and he expressed that he had indeed made the right choice in cooperating with my father.

In their words, I was like a commodity that could be given away and shown off at any time.

At this moment, Fu Xinyi also proposed on the spot that she wanted to set a wedding date as soon as possible.

After hearing this, the people around us kept saying it was good, quickly creating a lively atmosphere, and even said that the two of us were a perfect match.

As the matter was about to be decided, I suddenly felt anxious. I turned around and searched through the crowd, but I still couldn't find Xu Qing.

Could it be that he failed to bring Bian Jiahui in?

Just as I was feeling worried, Li Yaqin took the initiative to speak up for me, saying, "I think the wedding date should be discussed by the two young people together. Nowadays, young people like to focus on their careers."

Before she could finish speaking, my dad snapped, "What do you know? You have no right to speak here!"

The people around him were smiling. Lu Yuntian was also attending the banquet. He and my dad were mortal enemies. He had been dealt a blow last time and hadn't shown his face in public for a long time.

He saw Li Yaqin, raised an eyebrow with a forced smile, and said, "How come Madam Jiang looks so different after not seeing you for a while? It's like you're a completely different person. Could it be that there's something wrong with my eyes?"

He was clearly asking a question he already knew the answer to. My parents' situation has been going on for a long time, and everyone in our circle knows about it. Lu Yuntian brought it up now just to see my dad make a fool of himself.

Everyone else smiled silently, wanting only to watch the two fight and not wanting to get involved. My father's face was ashen; he was about to add fuel to the fire. "Wait a minute," he said, "I've met this Mrs. Jiang before. Mr. Jiang brought another woman to this banquet today. Won't Mrs. Jiang be angry if she finds out?"

"Mr. Jiang, you must not forget your roots. Everyone here knows exactly how you got to where you are today. If it weren't for Mrs. Jiang's support, you wouldn't have achieved your current status."

Bringing up this matter was like hitting my dad's sore spot, and he immediately retorted with a dark face, "This is a family matter, so there's no need for Mr. Lu to worry about it. I heard that Mr. Lu suffered a lot of business losses recently, so the fact that he was able to attend this banquet today shows that the misunderstanding has been cleared up."

Lu Yuntian had lost face at the auction and also lost money. I remember that he deliberately took Fu Xinyi to an alley, threatened her severely, and beat her up.

Given Fu Xinyi's vengeful nature, now that he has power and influence, how could he not seek revenge?

Lu Yuntian hasn't had a good time lately. I heard he lost a big project recently, so he must have paid a heavy price to be able to attend this banquet today.

The two exposed each other's shortcomings, and the people around them also got a lot of gossip, their faces showing excitement.

With two soft thuds, Fu Shaozheng's cane struck the floor. The two men, who had been so sincere, instantly fell silent, belatedly realizing they were on someone else's turf.

Fu Shao looked at my father and Lu Yuntian expressionlessly and said, "If you two haven't argued enough, why don't you continue arguing?"

Upon hearing this, the two dared not argue any longer and quickly apologized sincerely, saying that they were just joking.

Then my dad brought up my marriage to Fu Xinyi, as if I had become a high-value commodity that he could sell for a good price at any time.

In the end, they selected three dates and then handed the choice to me and Fu Xinyi, asking me which of the three dates I preferred.

Fu Xinyi said the sooner the better. I looked at the red paper in front of me with three numbers written on it, took a deep breath, and then looked up at Fu Shaozheng and said.

"Grandpa Fu, I'm afraid I can't fulfill this engagement. People say that family scandals shouldn't be exposed, but everyone knows about our family affairs. I don't want my child to suddenly have an older brother or sister after he's born."

As soon as I finished speaking, my dad's face darkened instantly. He took a step forward, stood in front of me, lowered his voice, and said with a warning look in his eyes, "What nonsense are you talking about? You can't joke around in front of so many uncles and elders."

I knew my dad wanted to suppress this matter, but now that things had come to this, how could I possibly do as he wished? I immediately reddened my eyes and put on a very aggrieved look.

"Dad, you knew perfectly well that my fiancé was having an affair with my nominal sister, but you never told me. Now they've even had a child together. Are you really going to make me marry him despite my humble background?"

The news I dropped was like a bombshell, causing an uproar in the room, with everyone bursting into discussion.

Just then, I saw Xu Qing walking out of the crowd, and Bian Jiahui beside him rushed over quickly and knelt down in front of Fu Shaozheng before anyone could react.
