Chapter 240: The Truth of the Year
At seven o'clock in the evening, the banquet officially began, all the guests sat down in the arranged positions, the positions were arranged according to the relationship between relatives and relatives, the Su family and the Mu family have always been world friends, Mrs. Su sat in the first row at the bottom, the middle position, the first row is basically their old friends.
And the second row next to Mrs. Su is Su Zhixuan and his wife, Qiao Airuo and Su Shaoxi, and Nangong Li and his wife are sitting next to Qiao Airuo and Su Shaoxi.
Old Man Mu walked onto the stage on crutches, followed by Lao Wang, and behind him were Mu Heng, Jiang Yun and Mu Ling'er.
Everyone in the audience who was still chatting quieted down, looking at the few people on the stage, they instantly became the center of the entire banquet.
Mu Ling'er was proud, the limelight that was stolen by Qiao Airuo just now has returned, she looked in the direction of Qiao Airuo a little tremblingly, but the latter looked at Old Man Mu and didn't give her a look, as if she didn't exist at all.
And what made her even more angry was that Su Shaoxi's attention was completely focused on Qiao Airuo, and she didn't take her seriously at all.
Her anger immediately spread to Jiang Yun beside her, Jiang Yun took her hand, with a decent lady-like smile on her face, but holding her hand was working hard in private, secretly reminding Mu Linger to restrain herself.
Old Man Mu stood at the front, didn't notice their small movements, he stood straight in front of the floor microphone, and then smiled at everyone in the audience and said, "First of all, thank you for taking time out of your busy schedule to attend Mu's birthday party." ”
"I received the gifts brought by everyone today, and there are several gifts that I like very much, especially two gifts...... "Old man Mu sold a pass, and several families who wanted to please the Mu family instantly became energetic, they spent a lot of money to prepare the gift this time, it should be said that they are the ones who have been sold.
Old Man Mu swept over a few slightly restless family representatives, confirming that these people were all families that Mu Heng usually befriended, most of them were small families that couldn't get on the stage, and he also knew that the big families had always disapproved of Mu Heng's ability.
He smiled and said, "A gift is a pair of calligraphy works made for me by Mr. Xia Daoyuan himself given to me by my son. ”
Mr. Xia Daoyuan? The audience was a little restless for a moment, and the whole Huaguo knew that Mr. Xia Daoyuan was extremely upright, and he once spoke in public that he didn't like to associate with anyone with an impure background.
And the Mu family is one of the top underworld forces in China, except for the Su family, it can be said that no family dares to shout with it, although under the control of Old Man Mu in the later period, it has been whitewashed a lot, but it is still the big brother on the underworld.
Why did Mr. Xia Daoyuan suddenly write a calligraphy work for Old Man Mu, or gave it to Mu Heng?
Everyone's eyes unconsciously moved to the direction of Qiao Airuo, could it be because of Qiao Airuo's relationship?
Old Man Mu directly confirmed everyone's thoughts: "Everyone knows that Qiao Airuo is the granddaughter of Mr. Xia Daoyuan, and my gift was also made for me by Mr. Xia at the request of Miss Qiao, so here, I want to thank her." ”
Qiao Airuo stood up and bowed slightly, looking at him with a smile, the two of them had no extra politeness, so that everyone present felt that they were getting along very harmoniously.
Mu Heng looked at Old Man Mu's smiling side face, and was a little dissatisfied in his heart, no matter what, this gift was also what he asked Qiao Airuo to do, why did Old Man Mu completely ignore him?
And Mu Linger was also very dissatisfied, the two of them looked at each other and smiled, making people feel as if they were the real grandparents and grandchildren, and she seemed to be redundant.
Old Man Mu didn't care what the people here thought, he motioned for Qiao Airuo to sit down, and then continued: "Another gift comes from Qiao Airuo, the president of QK Group, and a small ceramic house she gave me is a gift that I have wanted for a long time. ”
"Ceramic house?" The following families whispered, this didn't sound like something precious, how could it be compared to the gifts they had carefully prepared? They were a little angry.
At the suggestion of Uncle Wang, the servant used a brocade plate to hold up the small ceramic house, and the lights hit the small house, and its whole picture fell into the eyes of all the people present.
The three-storey simple villa, but the clever design makes the house look warm, and the sense of design and warmth are well integrated.
"This ceramic work is a design draft of Miss Qiao, and then someone made it, although everyone thinks it is not a very expensive thing, but it gives me a very familiar feeling, probably because people are old and like such warm things." Old Man Mu's eyes were on the small house, and the smile on his face was very kind, but he was slightly distracted, as if he remembered something from the past.
The venue was very quiet, and everyone's eyes couldn't help but look at the work, which was obviously a small house, and I didn't know what magic it was, so that people's attention was attracted to it.
Qiao Airuo stood up slowly, and her beautiful figure was more perfectly complemented by the bright red clothes on her body.
Everyone looked at her, and Qiao Airuo looked directly at the old man on the stage with a slightly sad expression, her red lips were slightly raised, and her voice was not loud, just enough for everyone to hear: "This is my father's design, and my mother and I have only made a little modification." ”
As soon as her words came out, there was a little discussion below, this was the first time Jo Airuo mentioned her father in public, so it seemed that her father would not be a simple person.
Old Man Mu looked at her floating alone in the crowd, looking at her expression, the sense of familiarity he had felt before became stronger and stronger, and the shock in his eyes became more and more obvious, could it be that Qiao Ai was ......?
Mu Heng's expression was even more shocked, looking at Qiao Airuo, he completely lost his ability to think.
The corners of Qiao Airuo's mouth were slightly hooked, and her red lips opened again: "And my father, everyone here may have forgotten, the eldest son of the Mu family who disappeared back then, Mu Qiaoshen." ”
What the?!
The scene was silent, except for Su Shaoxi, Nangong Li and Fan Weila, all their faces were full of shock, and Mu Heng's shock came from the fact that he actually knew about Qiao Airuo.
Old Madam Su and several other old people, who had always been in front of Mount Tai and did not change their faces, involuntarily appeared on their faces, with a look of disbelief.
"You...... Are you Qiao Shen's daughter? Old Man Mu finally recovered from the shock and found his voice, but he trembled so much that he couldn't speak.
Qiao Airuo looked at the old man's eyes, which were already full of tears, although he was not sure, but he was still excited, Qiao Airuo soothed his tone and said, "Yes, my father, it is Mu Qiaoshen." ”
Under Zheng Yan's operation, the big screen of the stage slowly changed, and a family photo appeared on it, on which was only 8-year-old Qiao Airuo, and the two people standing next to her, one was Xia Yi with a good face and a light smile, and the other was a strange man, although his face was not very handsome, but the temperament standing there made people feel noble.
Qiao Airuo looked at the big screen and said word by word: "This is me and my parents, the man in the photo may not be known to everyone, this is what my father looks like after plastic surgery, which is why the Mu family has been looking for my father for many years, but they haven't found it." ”
As soon as these words came out, the people below were even more surprised, Mu Qiao had a deep plastic surgery?
Most of them knew that Mu Qiaoshen was missing back then, and they couldn't find it for many years, but they didn't expect it to be because he had plastic surgery?
"You say you're that?! Still facelift? Mu Ling'er behind Old Man Mu suddenly stood up and scolded: "Don't think that you have a broken house, just say that it is my grandfather's granddaughter, you just want to rob the property!" ”
When she heard Qiao Airuo's words just now, she couldn't believe it, although she hadn't seen Mu Qiaoshen, she also knew that she had a missing uncle, who was deeply loved by Old Man Mu, and even overheard Mu Heng and Uncle Da's words back then, knowing that Mu Heng sent someone to kill Mu Qiaoshen, if Mu Qiaoshen had a daughter, how could she be missed by her father?
And Jiang Yun, who was shocked on the side, couldn't believe it, her expression was stiff, she tried to maintain her image as a rich wife, and said with a smile: "Yes, Miss Qiao, we can't talk nonsense, how can you say that this is the uncle of the Mu family just because of a photo?" ”
Mu Ling'er listened to her mother's words, and she was even more excited: "That is, what qualifications do you have to say that you are the granddaughter of the Mu family, what are you?" What qualifies me to be my sister? ”
"And what if there's a paternity test?" A cold voice rang out.
Su Shaoxi, who had been sitting next to Qiao Airuo, slowly stood up, and his cold gaze swept towards the resentful Mu Ling'er on the stage, without any expression.
The instant change on the big screen is an electronic version of the paternity test form, which is bolded to identify the intergenerational parent-child relationship, and the watermark of the entire form is the most authoritative private hospital under the Su Group.
Tang Mo, who was on the side of the stage, took out a paper appraisal from the folder, went on stage, and handed it to Old Man Mu who was looking at the screen with both hands, and Old Man Mu looked down several times.
Mu Heng's expression was completely stiff at this moment.
"Impossible!" Mu Ling'er still retorted.
Jiang Yun also smiled and said, "This ...... Who of us doesn't know that Miss Qiao and Su are always in a relationship, and it's no problem for you to help make a fake, right? ”
As soon as these words came out, Mrs. Su and Su Zhixuan both changed their faces, what did Jiang Yun mean by this, the Su family's private hospital has always practiced medicine in good faith, and when she said this, she was slapping the Su family in the face.
"Shut up for me, what nonsense!" Old Man Mu yelled at Jiang Yun for the first time.
Jiang Yun was usually very afraid of his father-in-law, but now he was directly roared, startled, and silently shut up.
Mu Ling'er didn't give up, and the expression on her face was already hideous: "Grandpa, what my mother said is not wrong, why should I believe this appraisal report?" ”
