On the second day, the sun shone gently on the outer courtyard of the Luo family manor, adding a touch of warmth and peace to the family reunion banquet.

Festive red lanterns are hung on the gate of the manor, swaying gently in the wind, as if welcoming every guest.

In the manor, flowers of various colors compete with each other in beauty, red as fire, pink as clouds, white as snow, they seem to add a touch of brightness to this festive day.

The fragrance of flowers and the freshness of grass are intertwined, permeating the air, making people feel relaxed and happy.

The banquet layout is both elegant and homely.

The red carpet stretched from the main gate to the banquet hall, with flowers and green plants placed on both sides. Colorful silks fluttered in the breeze like cheerful flags.

Round tables were arranged in an orderly manner, and they were filled with exquisite delicacies. The aroma filled the air, attracting the guests' praises.

This banquet was a family recognition banquet specially held by the Luo family for Gu Ranle, announcing that she officially became Mr. Luo's goddaughter.

When Gu Ranle appeared at the banquet, she immediately attracted everyone's attention.

She was wearing an elegant cheongsam, walking lightly and with outstanding temperament, like a blooming lily, standing out among the many guests.

The cut of the cheongsam perfectly outlines her graceful figure, and the elegant color complements her pure and elegant temperament.

Her long hair was cleverly tied up, revealing her slender neck and delicate collarbone. The pearl earrings hanging from her ears sparkled softly in the sunlight, adding a touch of gentleness to her.

"Hey, isn't this my Lele?" Fourth aunt recognized Gu Ranle at the first sight and exclaimed in surprise.

The several wealthy ladies beside her immediately looked at her curiously and asked about Gu Ranle's identity.

The fourth aunt introduced proudly, "This is my fourth son's niece. Isn't she pretty?"

Those who came to the banquet today are either rich or noble, and they are all smart people.

They immediately understood Gu Ranle's identity—Grandpa Jiang's granddaughter, and now Grandpa Luo's godson.

The Jiang and Luo families already had a good relationship, and now they are even closer.

I heard before that the two families were planning a marriage, but there was no good news. Now they have become in-laws in this way.

"Beautiful! I have never seen such a beautiful girl! She is dignified and elegant, with extraordinary temperament!" exclaimed a noble lady.

"That's right! What a rare beauty!" another noble lady echoed.

There was a lot of praise, which made Fourth Aunt very proud.

This was exactly the effect she wanted. She smiled and accepted everyone's compliments one by one, and took the opportunity to accept the invitations of several wealthy ladies.

Here, Gu Ranle also felt everyone's gazes and discussions, but she just smiled indifferently and maintained her elegant posture.

Mr. Luo is in good spirits today, smiling widely and with eyes full of affection.

Gu Ranle walked up to him and he introduced her to the guests with a smile.

"This is my new goddaughter, Gu Ranle. From now on, she will be a member of the Luo family."

"Congratulations, Mr. Luo, for having such a beautiful goddaughter." complimented a guest.

"Yes, it's a blessing." Another guest echoed.

The compliments made Mr. Luo even happier.

However, some guests also cast jealous glances.

They may be dissatisfied because their own children do not receive such honor or for other reasons.

But no matter what, they could only hide this emotion deep in their hearts, because today was the Luo family's happy day and they couldn't make trouble here.

After Mr. Luo and Gu Ranle gave brief speeches, Fu Hanting also came on stage as a representative, and his words revealed his admiration and expectations for Gu Ranle.

Afterwards, several programs were performed in turn at the banquet, including singing, dancing, and musical instrument performances. The invited artists were all well-known artists in the industry, and the guests applauded and praised them.

After the show, and before dinner, the guests mingle among themselves.

At this time, Jiang Qianmo took Li Hongxuan's hand and walked slowly to Gu Ranle.

She was dressed in gorgeous clothes and had a proper smile on her face, but there was obvious calculation in her eyes.

"Gu Ranle, you are really good at it. Just by meeting Grandpa Luo once, you can make him recognize you as his granddaughter!" Jiang Qianmo's tone was full of sourness as soon as he opened his mouth.

Gu Ranle smiled slightly, "I can't help it, I'm just so likable. Unlike some people, who have wanted to be someone's granddaughter-in-law for so many years, but in the end, they still get nothing."

Jiang Qianmo's face froze, and he pulled Li Hongxuan's sleeve, saying in a protesting manner: "Gu Ranle, look, Li Hongxuan is my boyfriend now, are you envious and jealous?"

Gu Ranle pretended to be surprised and looked at Li Hongxuan, "Hey, nephew, is this your girlfriend? Come on, Jiang Qianmo, call her auntie."

Jiang Qianmo was stunned. The expected scene of Gu Ranle getting jealous and crazy did not happen. How could she still take advantage of him?

Jiang Qianmo always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure it out for a while.

"You...what nonsense are you talking about!" Jiang Qian cursed, "You're crazy!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Chong pushed Li Shenzhi over.

"precious."

Gu Ranle walked forward with a smile, stretched out her hand to hold Li Shenzhi's hand, and smiled slightly, "Come on, nephew's wife, call someone, this is your uncle."

Jiang Qianmo suddenly shook off Li Hongxuan and glared at Gu Ranle angrily, "Gu Ranle, stop taking advantage of me here! Who is your nephew's wife?"

"Oh, isn't it? Didn't you just say that Li Hongxuan is your boyfriend? Then this person must be your uncle. Isn't it right to call him 'uncle'?" Gu Ranle blinked provocatively.

Li Hongxuan looked at Li Shenzhi and called him "Uncle" in a low voice.

Before he and Jiang Qianmo came, they had no idea what this woman was up to.

Now it seems that she is planning to use him to provoke Gu Ranle.

However, it was obvious that this move did not have the effect she wanted.

Gu Ranle was no longer chasing after him.

Li Shenzhi played with Gu Ranle's hand and said calmly, "Are you accompanying your girlfriend to attend your aunt's family recognition party?"

Li Hongxuan looked at Gu Ranle and said "hmm".

Seeing that his plan did not work, Jiang Qianmo's eyes flashed with anger.

She turned her gaze to Li Shenzhi, a scornful smile on her lips.

"Gu Ranle, you haven't chased Li Hongxuan for years and failed, so you picked up this cripple as a treasure in a fit of rage, right? You look like a decent person, but your vision is as blind as this crippled leg. Are you out of your mind to fall for such a blind and crippled loser! It's really laughable!"

Jiang Qianmo's words were full of sarcasm and provocation, attempting to completely defeat Gu Ranle with words.

Gu Ranle was the focus of the banquet and attracted a lot of attention.

At this moment, seeing the movement here, more people cast curious glances. Although there were not as many onlookers as on the streets, every pair of eyes was full of gossip.

Jiang Qianmo noticed the eyes around him and raised his chin proudly.

However, Gu Ranle only raised the corner of his mouth with a smile, took a step closer, and asked with a sharp look in his eyes, "You just said that my fiancé is a blind, disabled waste?"

"Isn't it?" Jiang Qianmo challenged with contempt.

Before he finished speaking, a crisp "pop" suddenly sounded in the air, like a summer thunder, breaking through the surrounding noise.

A slap was mercilessly delivered to Jiang Qianmo's originally arrogant face. The force of the slap was so great that she was stunned for a moment, as if all her pride and arrogance had been taken away.

The onlookers were also stunned.

Even when beating a dog, one must consider the owner. Moreover, this girl is the eldest daughter of the Jiang family. She is arrogant and domineering on weekdays and no one dares to provoke her.

Gu Ranle, who had just been adopted as Grandpa Luo's godson, dared to be so presumptuous?

Who gave her the confidence?

Jiang Qianmo covered his burning cheeks and stared at Gu Ranle in disbelief, with anger and humiliation flashing in his eyes.

This was the first time she was beaten since she was born, and in front of everyone.

"You...you actually dare to hit me?" Jiang Qianmo roared.

Before she finished her words, she pounced on Gu Ranle with bared fangs and claws like an enraged lion, trying to use violence to save her lost face.

However, is Gu Ranle someone who would allow himself to be bullied?

She was quick-witted and quick-handed. She grabbed Jiang Qianmo's outstretched arm and slapped him without hesitation. The force was so strong that the air shook.

"Why shouldn't I hit you? Is it because you are the eldest daughter of the Jiang family? Can the eldest daughter of the Jiang family speak without restraint and spit out shit? Do you have any manners at all? Others may not dare to touch you, after all, you have such a powerful grandfather to support you. But without your grandfather and the Jiang family, what are you? Not only am I going to beat you today, but after that, you have to apologize to me and my fiancé!" Gu Ranle's words were loud and clear, and every word revealed an unquestionable power.

Jiang Qianmo's face was ferocious, with crazy hatred flashing in his eyes: "Apologize? Forget it!"

Gu Ranle raised her eyebrows slightly, and a cold smile appeared on the corner of her mouth: "It seems that Miss Jiang didn't do her homework well enough. You only know that I chased a man for seven years and failed to catch up with him, but what you don't know is that I am not only good at chasing men, but also better at punishing people. In the past seven years, I have punished at least nine hundred and ninety-nine people. Congratulations, you have the honor of becoming my thousandth punishment target."

As she said that, she slapped Jiang Qianmo again loudly and mercilessly on the mouth.

"It's okay if you don't apologize. I like people like you who are challenging to fix. Once I fix it, I'll feel a great sense of accomplishment."

Gu Ranle's voice was cold and firm, and every word was like a sharp knife, cutting Jiang Qianmo's pride and self-esteem.

The audience around was stunned by this scene. They had never seen anyone so bold as to confront the eldest daughter of the Jiang family head-on.

The appearance of Gu Ranle was undoubtedly like throwing a huge rock into the calm lake, causing waves.

Jiang Qianmo was in a state of disgrace at the moment. She covered her swollen and painful cheek with her eyes flashing with complex emotions: anger, humiliation, unwillingness...

She never thought that one day she would lose her composure and be so embarrassed in front of everyone.

But Gu Ranle's words were like a thorn that pierced deeply into her heart.

"Even if you beat me to death, I will not apologize!" Jiang Qianmo shouted at the top of his voice.

The noise here finally alarmed everyone in the banquet hall.

Several people who were talking to Mr. Luo looked over here when they heard the voice.

A tall man looked through the crowd and said to Mr. Luo, "It seems that the eldest daughter of the Jiang family had a conflict with your god-granddaughter."

When Mr. Luo heard this, he was shocked.

How dare someone bully his little girl?

Without saying a word, he walked towards the crowd with his crutches.

Upon hearing this, the eldest brother of the Jiang family next to him changed his expression and followed with big strides.

"Then let's see who is harder, your mouth or my hand." Gu Ranle raised his hand again.

"Stop!" the Jiang family boss shouted harshly.

As soon as Jiang Qianmo saw his father, tears immediately flowed out: "Dad, that bitch Gu Ranle hit me..."

Before she finished her words, another slap hit her bloody face.

"Gu Ranle!" Boss Jiang raised his hand subconsciously.

Mr. Luo poked the ground with his cane, "Just try and touch her!"

Just as Boss Jiang was about to speak, his wife rushed over.

"Grandpa, you can't be so partial to her just because she is your goddaughter! Look at what she did to Qianmo!"

"Le Le definitely wouldn't hit someone for no reason!" Old Master Luo said, "Don't you know what kind of personality your daughter has?"

Boss Jiang’s wife was speechless for a moment.

At this time, everyone in the Gu family also rushed over. They silently surrounded Gu Ranle to prevent the Jiang family from making a move secretly.

Grandpa Luo walked up to Gu Ranle and said, "Little girl, don't be afraid. Tell grandpa what's going on."

Gu Ranle tilted her head to look at him, holding Jiang Qianmo's hand without letting go.

She spoke slowly, her voice neither too high nor too low, just enough for everyone around her to hear clearly.

“It’s fine for her to call me a bitch, but she shouldn’t humiliate my fiancé.

What's wrong with disabled people? Do disabled people deserve to be humiliated by Miss Jiang?

She can attack me personally if she is upset with me, but she shouldn't attack my fiancé.

Since she is so uneducated, I will take some effort to teach her a lesson.

Unless this rich young lady experiences the beatings of society, she won't know how much she deserves a beating.

Do you really think you can do whatever you want just because you have a family?

Let alone her parents coming today, even if her grandfather comes, I won’t let this matter go easily unless she apologizes to me and my fiancé.

I haven't hit anyone in a while, and my hands are itching to do it. Since she won't apologize, I'll hit her until she apologizes, and see who is harder, her words or my hands."

This statement can be said to be quite arrogant.

The eldest son of the Jiang family and his wife's faces turned pale.

The corner of Mr. Luo's mouth twitched slightly. He knew that this girl was tough, but he didn't expect her to be so tough.

When the situation was at a stalemate, the housekeeper came hurriedly.

"Master, Master Jiang is here."

At the door, Jiang Haisheng pushed Old Man Jiang in slowly.

The eyes of everyone in the banquet hall were on the man whose stomping of his foot could shake the entire capital.
