Chapter 1044: Firm Stand

ng won't happen again today. 。" " 。Hearing that there was a reason for this, Gu Chi's expression eased somewhat. “Could you send me the client data you sorted for me last time I need it urgently.”...Lu Jiuyan's words instantly made his stance clear. Below, the guests attending the engagement banquet erupted in a flurry of discussion, their voices rising and falling like waves threatening to engulf everyone.

Lu Yuanzhan's face grew increasingly grim as the murmurs around him intensified. Lin Yiyi was held tightly by Jiang Yinghan, pressed against him and unable to move. Si Nian stared wide-eyed at the unfolding scene, completely unresponsive.

"Dad."

Just when everyone was at a loss, Lu Jiting's voice rang out from the banquet hall again, drawing all eyes to him.

Besides Lu Jiting, the one he was holding tightly was Liang Mingshi, whose face was full of terror and panic.

"Actually, I had some suspicions before, but now after seeing this, I've confirmed my guess. When I first found Lin Yiy, Liang Mingsi showed me a photo of the birthmark on her back. Later, I felt something was off. Her birthmarks seemed fake."

"Nian'er." Lu Yuanzhan gripped the wheelchair handle, took a deep breath, and called Si Nian, who was standing beside him watching the drama unfold.

"Take Lin Yi down for a checkup and see if there's that birthmark on her back." Lu Yuanzhan's voice was very low, with an undeniable hint of anger.

Even the usually bold and unruly Si Nian was now too afraid to say much. She reacted quickly, walked up to Jiang Yinghan, grabbed Lin Yiyi who was struggling around, and under the escort of bodyguards, took her towards the back of the banquet hall.

The hall fell silent once more, as if dead. The guests who had come for the engagement party hadn't expected such a turn of events. Everyone waited with bated breath for Si Nian to appear.

After they went into the dressing room next to the banquet hall for just three or four minutes, Si Nian stormed out with a furious expression on her face. She even grabbed Lin Yiyi's collar and pulled her out forcefully.

Everyone could tell from her facial expression how serious the situation had become. Lu Jiting's previous guesses were now likely 100% true.

Si Nian took three or two steps forward, grabbed Lin Yiyi's arm, and pushed her right in front of Lu Yuanzhan's wheelchair.

"Dad, this woman sure fooled us! She doesn't have a single birthmark on her body, but she has tons of scars!"

Now the facts were right before their eyes. Even if Lin Yiyi had a mouth full of excuses, she couldn't explain herself clearly. She lay on the ground, not daring to raise her head to look at Lu Yuanzhan. Her whole body trembled like chaff.

"Good! Very good! You actually dared to deceive me!" Lü Yu Zhān reached out with his hand, pointing at Lin Yiyi, trembling so much he couldn't speak for a long time, his eyes were filled with bloodshot.

"No! This isn't my fault. It's not my responsibility at all! It's them! They came to me and said if I pretended to be that girl, I would have a good life!"

Lin Yiyi was like someone desperately trying to save themselves. She looked at Lu Yuanzhan with a crazed expression, then crawled forward two steps and pointed at Liang Mingsi, saying: "It's him! It was him who made me do all this... This wasn't my intention at all, I only did it because I was desperate, so I listened to his nonsense!"

After Lin Yiyi finished speaking, she struggled to stand up again. She looked at Zhang Shumei being helped by Gu Keyu and suddenly rushed forward, grabbing the sleeve of her clothes and twisting it hard.

And while she beat him, she berated him, saying, "It's all your fault! This is all because of you! If you hadn't gambled away all the money in the house every day, I wouldn't be in this situation! It's all your fault. A person like you doesn't even deserve to be someone's mother!"

Lin Yiyi had completely lost her sanity now. The guests around her watched her like a rabid dog. She pushed all the blame onto others, and they pointed at her, some with sympathy and some with disdain.

Lu Yuanzhan took a deep breath, glanced at Lin Yiy, then shifted his gaze to Liang Mingsi who was tightly held by Lu Jiting.

"Say! Why did you have her pretend What benefit do you get from doing this!" Lu Yuanzhan heavily patted the wheelchair handle and coldly addressed Liang Mingshi.

Lu Jiting flung Liang Mingshi to the ground. He lay there without getting up, his whole body trembling as he crawled forward and knelt down, saying: "No... Mr. Lu, please listen to me... I really didn't do it, I swear I didn't!"

After finishing his words, he rushed forward and hugged Lu Yuanzhan's legs, crying with tears streaming down his face: "Please, sir, don't hold grudges against me, let me go! I really didn't do this!"

"It was Mrs. Lu! It was she who instructed me to do this, she had planned all of this from the beginning, we were just being manipulated by her!"

Liangmingshi trembled for a while, but finally couldn't withstand Lu Yuanzhan's gaze and told him everything.

"Damn it!" Lu Yuanzhan's face was full of fury. After hearing this, he trembled for a while, and finally couldn't catch his breath, passing out from anger.

"Dad!" Si Nian, who was nearby, was frightened and quickly rushed forward to help Lu Yuanzhan up. Then, Lu Jiting and Lu Jiyan both ran after him closely.

The scene had descended into chaos. Gu Ke'yu turned his head and exchanged a glance with Jiang Yinghan and Liu Xu, their objective achieved.

This lavishly-held engagement party turned out to be a complete joke. Many guests couldn't bear it and left, only those who wanted to continue watching the drama remained.

Gu Ke Yu slowly walked forward to Lu Ji Yan's side. After glancing at Lu Yuan Zhan who was sprawled in the wheelchair, he heard the sound of 120 emergency vehicles coming from outside the banquet hall.

"I'm really sorry everyone, this engagement party has kept you all waiting today. We'll give you a reasonable explanation later, for now please go back."

Lu Yuanzhan was escorted away by Lu Jiyan and the others. Si Nian stood there, taking charge of the situation. The rest of the guests who had come to watch the show didn't know what to say. After looking at each other awkwardly, they all got up and said goodbye.

Soon everyone left the stage, and only Gu Ke'yu and a few others remained in the banquet hall.

She walked up to Lin Yiyi, who was kneeling on the ground trembling, in her high heels. Looking down at her, she said: “I told you before, things that don’t belong to you will never be yours. You ended up like this because you were greedy and insatiable!”

Lin Yiyi pushed herself up from the ground, glared coldly at Gu Ke'yu for a moment, then scanned the crowd before scurrying out of the hall.feng's face was expressionless. He glanced at Yang Ning's surprised expression through the gap, and a smile couldn't help but curl up at the corner of his mouth."What's wrong Find it unbelievable tha...
