Song Qinian had not appeared. When Shen Chi Yan stepped in to help Mu Yu Xin, she received a WeChat message from Zhou Luo Te saying that Feng Wan Hui had arrived at the hotel entrance. However, Feng Wan Hui only handed the gift to the waiter and did not intend to go in.
In Song Qinian's plan, the most crucial protagonist was Feng Wan Hui. If she did not make an appearance, all of Song Qinian's plans would be in vain.
"Find a way to let Feng Wan Hui know that the Lin family has already discovered that Lin Qiu Tong is not their daughter. You must force Feng Wan Hui to come in."
Zhou Luo Te seemed to have anticipated this step. He gave a look to the two people beside him, and those two men walked towards Feng Wan Hui.
At this moment, Feng Wan Hui was feeling extremely dejected. Looking at the opulent hotel, her heart felt uneasy.
Just one door away, inside, was her biological daughter's birthday banquet. Yet, she could not attend, could not personally sing her happy birthday song, could not give her blessings.
Most importantly, she had intended to buy her a twenty-thousand-yuan bracelet, but because she couldn't borrow money, she could only afford a cheaper gift. She wondered if her daughter would like it.
Thinking about it carefully, the Lin couple loved her so much that they would surely host a grand birthday party for her. She must be very happy.
Just as Feng Wan Hui was about to leave reluctantly, the voices of two men suddenly entered her ears.
"I never expected Lin Qiu Tong wasn't Lin Xing An's daughter."
"Yes, it's said that the real eldest daughter of the Lin family was swapped. Lin Xing An was embarrassed in front of so many people. Given his temper, he would definitely make Lin Qiu Tong take a paternity test."
"Why bother with a paternity test? This eldest daughter of the Lin family never looked like Lin Xing An, nor like Madam Lin or Lin Lan Xing. Anyone with eyes can see it. Tell me, if Lin Xing An finds his biological daughter, will he kick Lin Qiu Tong out of the Lin family directly!"
"Kicking her out is a minor issue. I heard Lin Xing An wants to send her to jail!"
"It seems the good days of this eldest daughter of the Lin family are coming to an end."
"The eldest daughter of the Lin family? Heh... Still don't know what kind of bastard she is!"
Hearing this, Feng Wan Hui's face turned as pale as a ghost crawling out of hell. She abruptly grabbed one of the men's arms, "Is everything you're saying true?"
The man shook off Feng Wan Hui's hand. "It's about to explode in there, quite lively. You can go in and join the fun."
Feng Wan Hui was in a panic. Without thinking further, she rushed into the hotel.
The banquet hall was indeed chaotic. Feng Wan Hui's eyes immediately fell on Lin Qiu Tong, whose face was ghastly. Then...
She saw Mu Yu Xin, with red eyes and clenched fists, staring at Lin Xing An.
In that instant, Feng Wan Hui's mind felt as if it had been struck by a blunt object. A dull hum filled her ears.
A waiter saw a woman in a bright red cotton coat enter. Her attire and demeanor did not suggest she was a guest here to offer congratulations. As he was about to step forward to stop her, he saw her suddenly run towards Lin Qiu Tong.
Song Qinian had been watching the entrance. When she saw Feng Wan Hui rush towards Mu Yu Xin with hatred and anger on her face, she did not intervene.
The moment Shen Qi Wen saw Feng Wan Hui, his face changed dramatically. He was about to discreetly stop Feng Wan Hui when a man in black suddenly blocked his way. "Mr. Li warns you, it's best you don't interfere in this matter anymore!"
Shen Qi Wen clenched his fists tightly. After a few seconds of internal struggle, he slowly closed his eyes as if resigned.
The moment she saw Mu Yu Xin, Feng Wan Hui had only one thought in her mind.
Mu Yu Xin had learned about her identity and had come to find her biological father.
It made sense. Since Song Qinian knew Mu Yu Xin's identity, how could she not tell her.
They wanted to harm her daughter. How could they!
Feng Wan Hui rushed forward and pulled Lin Qiu Tong protectively behind her. Then, like a hen protecting her chicks, she looked at Lin Xing An and said, "Mr. Lin, this is all my fault. It was my folly back then that I swapped our daughters. Please don't blame Tong Tong. Although she isn't your biological daughter, she has been by your side for over twenty years. Even without a blood relationship, there is still familial affection between you. I can go to jail, but please, spare Tong Tong."
As Feng Wan Hui spoke, the grand banquet hall fell silent. Immediately after, discussions erupted like an explosion.
"What? The eldest daughter of the Lin family isn't Mr. Lin's daughter? What's going on?"
"Who is this woman?"
"So, this Miss Mu is Mr. Lin's biological daughter?"
The Lin family was stunned, including Lin Lan Xing, who had been targeting Mu Yu Xin earlier.
Seeing that Lin Xing An remained silent, Feng Wan Hui assumed he was heartless and intended to send Lin Qiu Tong to jail. She directly knelt on the ground.
"Mr. Lin, consider how well I've raised your daughter. You are magnanimous; please let us go."
Everyone's gaze shifted between the Lin couple, Lin Qiu Tong, and then to Feng Wan Hui and Mu Yu Xin, who were kneeling on the ground.
Shen Chi Yan seemed to understand something in an instant. He looked down at Song Qinian.
However, Song Qinian kept her head down, not looking at him, and showed no expression.
Lin Qiu Tong had not yet reacted. Lin Lan Xing beside her angrily pushed Feng Wan Hui. "You crazy woman, what nonsense are you spouting?"
Hearing the murmurs of the crowd, Lin Lan Xing angrily defended, "This woman is a nanny from my sister's studio. She's gone mad and is talking nonsense, don't believe her words."
After Lin Qiu Tong came to her senses, she started crying. "Aunt Feng, I kindly offered you a job, why would you do this to me?"
Seeing the shocked and disbelieving expressions of the Lin couple and the tears on Lin Qiu Tong's face, Feng Wan Hui suddenly realized something and became flustered.
Suddenly, she saw Song Qinian in the crowd, looking at her expressionlessly. In the next second, she saw Song Qinian smile at her. That smile was filled with mockery and triumph.
"It's you! It's you!!!"
She got up and lunged fiercely towards Song Qinian. Song Qinian did not move. Shen Chi Yan, with quick reflexes, pulled Song Qinian into his arms and shoved Feng Wan Hui away forcefully.
Feng Wan Hui fell to the ground. Realizing the magnitude of her mistake, she no longer paid attention to Song Qinian and immediately got up, grabbing Mu Yu Xin's hand to leave.
However, Mu Yu Xin shook off her hand. Aside from shock, her face also held deep sorrow. "Mom, is everything you just said true?"
As Feng Wan Hui was about to speak, someone suddenly handed a document to Lin Xing An. Lin Xing An opened it and saw the DNA comparison results between him and Lin Qiu Tong. Ye Fang Lin, standing beside him, also saw the report and immediately felt a surge of anger, collapsing to the ground...
