Chapter 49 - 49 Debut
49 Debut
At this time, En Cai also spotted Zhong Heng and Zhong Nian. En Cai had dealt with Zhong Heng in Haicheng before and knew that the mayor was an elder whom Sheng Guang respected very much.
Just as En Cai was about to bring Sheng Guang over to greet Zhong Heng, Cheng Yu stood on the stage and looked down at the audience while clearing her throat.
Zhong Heng motioned for En Cai to stand still.
Cheng Yu looked at the audience and revealed a gentle and generous smile. “Hello, everyone. Welcome to the Guo family’s appreciation banquet. Other than thanking the friends who have been working with us during this period, I have something to announce.
“We have recently found our daughter.”
The people in the audience started to buzz with gossip. Finding their daughter was not necessarily a glorious thing.
Some families in Haicheng with poor family culture would bring their illegitimate children home with the excuse of finding their children.
“This child that they’ve found had better not be an illegitimate child of the Guo family, is she?”
“The Guos are such a small family, yet they have an illegitimate child. I’m going to laugh my head off. Doesn’t Guo Ming like to save his face?”
Cheng Yu saw that her husband’s face had already darkened, so she quickly held Guo Ming’s hand. “Everyone, please don’t misunderstand. When I gave birth to Guo Lin, I also gave birth to another child. However, this child was born with some congenital deficiencies, so we have been raising her in the Dongshan Village. The mountains and rivers there are beneficial, so she can recuperate from her illness.
“Guo Lin and this child are fraternal twins.”
Fraternal twins… Did that mean that the two people should look different?
Tong Tong frowned. Guo Lin and Guo Miao did appear completely different. He didn’t know if it was true that they were fraternal twins as she mentioned.
The discussions around him were endless.
“The Guos clearly abandoned their own child, but they still say that they let her go to recuperate when she was young.”
“Yeah, it’s really weird. Before this, it was her family who searched the surrounding towns for their daughter. It sounds completely bogus. Why did they have to say that she went to recuperate?”
“I guess the recuperation from the illness didn’t work out for the child. She didn’t even turn up today.”
Seeing that the comments below the stage were spiraling out of her control, Cheng Yu became a little flustered and hurriedly explained, “The child was supposed to come to the banquet today to meet everyone, but she’s not in good health. In order to recuperate better, she won’t be attending today.”
Zhong Nian moved closer to Tong Tong who was eating and said, when did sister Guo Miao’s health deteriorate? isn’t she able to take on a few people by herself? ”
Tong Tong shook his head. “Let’s eat. I don’t understand the Guo family’s affairs.”
Guo Miao’s physique should be fine. He didn’t know what the Guo family was up to.
Just as the banquet was in progress, the door suddenly opened.
A ray of light shone on the door as if it had a mind of its own, illuminating the slim figure of the young girl standing at the door.
The girl was really pretty. She was wearing a golden silk dress with a phoenix that looked like it was about to fly. Her hair was casually tied up with a golden hairpin, revealing the beautiful lines of her neck and shoulders. She looked very noble.
“Guo Miao?” Zhong Nian was amazed, “Guo Miao looks so good when she’s dressed up!”
En Cai also looked at Guo Miao. She was really good-looking, and her disposition was very stunning. It wasn’t just a gentle beauty but also a heroic spirit.
“What a great piece of work,” En Cai praised.
“Are you talking about Master Hongyu’s clothes?” Sheng Guang asked curiously.
“No, no, no, I’m talking about Guo Miao. She’s simply a great work of the Creator.”
The others were also very surprised. Hongyu only produced one masterpiece every year.
The piece that Guo Miao was wearing was one of Master Hongyu’s works that had been displayed on the internet a few days ago. It was said that it had been bought by a rich and powerful person who had a close relationship with Master Hong.
Did the Guos and Master Hongyu know each other?
Or was the legendary buyer Guo Miao?
Everyone looked at Guo Miao with curiosity.
Cheng Yu’s expression wasn’t pleasant, and Guo Ming’s face was also dark.
This biological daughter of theirs was really too much. She came late in an haute couture dress, which was like a slap to their faces.
“Did you get Master Hong to tailor this dress?” Guo Ming frowned as he looked at Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu shook his head.
They didn’t notice the fire of jealousy in Guo Lin’s eyes and the hand that was gripping her skirt tightly.
‘That shouldn’t be the case. Why would Guo Miao wear such a nice dress?’
