After the real daughter was reborn, she became the favorite of the whole family

The words originally sounded very ambiguous, but when Zhou Wan saw Jiang Zhi's half-smiley face, she knew that she was almost fooled by him. The theme of pure love and the pure love god of war were all his jokes.

Zhou Wanyi rolled her eyes in front of him and said, "As the saying goes, it's important for people to know themselves. Brother, please have some shame." Only she, Zhou Wanyi, would say such hurtful words in the most innocent tone.

Jiang Zhi raised his eyebrows in surprise. Just as he was about to speak, a pleasant piano sound came from downstairs, which meant that Yang Qinghe's birthday party had begun.

Zhou Wanyi pushed aside the man standing at the door and walked downstairs with brisk steps. Looking at her back, Jiang Zhi felt powerless all over, then shook his head and chuckled.

The Cui family is a well-known and prestigious family in Jinghai City. Yang Qinghe's mother's family, the Yang family, is also a scholarly family with many great writers. Therefore, today's birthday banquet has gathered all the upper class in Jinghai City.

"Thank you all for attending the birthday party for an old lady like me." Yang Qinghe was easy-going and could even say some witty remarks at such moments. "But this year's birthday party is different from the past. My only granddaughter has finally returned to me."

The moment her eyes met Yang Qinghe's, Zhou Wanyi's legs couldn't help but go weak, and she licked her lips nervously. She didn't know, or she had never thought that her grandmother would reveal her true identity at her 70th birthday party.

"Come Yiyi, come to grandma." Yang Qinghe called her softly.

Qiao Ling led her over with a smile in her eyes. Yang Qinghe held her hand tightly and said, "I am so lucky that I got the best gift when I was 70 years old." The old lady cast a kind and gentle gaze on Zhou Wanyi.

She had been swallowing her saliva, and her nose felt sore when she heard this, and her eyes were red and misty, but today was a good day and she couldn't cry. So Zhou Wanyi bit her lower lip to stop the tears from falling.

The guests in the banquet hall were confused and didn't quite understand what the old lady meant.

Guest 1: "The only granddaughter? Didn't the Cui family always have a girl?"

Guest 2: "What? Have you forgotten that Cui's biological daughter is missing? That one is a fake."

Guest 1 suddenly realized: "That is to say, the Cui family's biological daughter has been found. Old Madam Cui took this opportunity to spread the news that her biological daughter has returned home."

Guest 2: "That's right, but what about the adopted daughter of the Cui family?"

Guest 3: "What's the big deal? That adopted daughter has enjoyed wealth and prosperity for more than ten years. Even if the Cui family gives up adopting her, she will have a lot of money. We don't need to worry about it."

Guest 1: "That's true. You've been occupying my place for so long, it's time to return it."

***

Cui Wanning had been hiding in her room since she was lectured. Thinking that the birthday banquet was about to begin, she planned to go to the banquet hall on the first floor in advance, intending to make Zhou Wanyi lose face. Unexpectedly, she found Zhou Wanyi and Jiang Zhi "having a tryst" on the balcony at the corner of the second floor. It's not that she thought too much, but the scene she saw was indeed like that.

Jiang Zhi bent half of his body, his face was extremely close to Zhou Wanyi, and his left hand was on the balcony handrail. From Cui Wanning's perspective, it looked like Jiang Zhi was pressing Zhou Wanyi against the wall. Considering how Jiang Zhi had favored Zhou Wanyi before, it was hard for her not to distort the relationship between the two of them.

Cui Wanning was afraid of Jiang Zhi from the bottom of her heart, so she didn't dare to make up stories about him. Therefore, she thought that Zhou Wanyi had seduced him, and her face was full of sarcasm, "How despicable!"

Cui Wanning was furious when she thought that such a shameless person who seduced men could be so liked by her family. She now suspected that Zhou Wanyi had learned some tricks to control people, otherwise why would those people be so nice to her.

The birthday banquet was about to begin, and Cui Wanning was frantically trying to reduce her presence. But she was about to crush her palms, and she had never expected that Yang Qinghe would publicly announce Zhou Wanyi's identity. Just a word from Yang Qinghe, Cui Wanning became the biggest laughing stock of the banquet tonight.

Cui Wanning felt that he had no face to stay any longer, and when he was about to leave, he heard the conversation of several guests.

"Fake", "abandoned for adoption", "occupying the magpie's nest", these words instantly occupied her mind. She thought of her childhood in the orphanage. No, she couldn't go back, she couldn't go back to that kind of life of being poor and abandoned at will.

She cast her eyes towards Zhou Wanyi who was standing beside Yang Qinghe, bit her lips hard, and after she tasted a hint of blood, her emotions were relieved. In order not to be abandoned by the Cui family, wasn't it just about endurance?

She can do it, she will never be abandoned.

After Yang Qinghe toasted the guests, she took Zhou Wanyi to the cake shaped like a longevity peach and prepared to cut it.

Cui Qi always spoke in a smooth manner, but he had a good appearance and was very good at making his elders happy. "I wish grandma a long and healthy life." After saying this, he pretended to present his gift to his grandma.

Yang Qinghe narrowed her eyes in satisfaction, enjoying her grandson's flattery. "Okay, okay, what gift have you prepared for grandma this time?"

"I spent a lot of money to buy this. Grandma, take a look. Do you like it?" As soon as he finished speaking, he opened the lid, and inside was a white jade dragon and phoenix Ganoderma lucidum jade ruyi that was pure white, shiny, moist and crystal.

Yang Qinghe immediately took it in her hand and examined it. "Look at the workmanship and light transmittance. It can be said to be top-grade."

After hearing this, Cui Qi knew that he had given the right gift. His grandmother was quite knowledgeable about jade, and as long as it was top quality as she said, it must be the best.

Cui Qi had made a good start, and the gift-giving process went very smoothly. Even Cui Wanning's gift was praised by the old lady as "thoughtful". Although it was mostly politeness, at least the grandmother should be less angry now.

Only Zhou Wanyi hadn't given a gift yet. When Cui Wanning saw her holding the gift she had "carefully prepared", she couldn't help but smile. She stepped forward and took Zhou Wanyi's hand, "Grandma, this gift was prepared for you by my sister last night."

Cui Wanning seized the opportunity and cleared herself of all charges. If something went wrong later, she would be in trouble.

Zhou Wanyi knew what she was thinking and deliberately did not refute her, "Yes, this gift wasted a lot of time. I hope grandma likes it."

Seeing her hypocritical admission, Cui Wanning smiled secretly in his heart, knowing that the fun was about to begin.

Soon Zhou Wanyi took out a long wooden box from the bag and opened it considerately.

No, this box is not the one she prepared. Cui Wanning kept staring at her and found that the box Zhou Wanyi took was completely different from the one she prepared before.

She understood in an instant that it was Zhou Wanyi who replaced the gift!

"Then let me see what gifts you have prepared for me." Yang Qinghe directly picked up the white scroll in the box and untied the thin rope. A majestic landscape painting with gushing natural power appeared in front of everyone.

Yang Qinghe said in disbelief: "This is Mr. Lang Qixian's "Between Clouds and Water"!"
