Su Ru’an swept her gaze across everyone and spoke softly yet firmly: "Ruanruan was brought to our family by my aunt, she is not her biological child."
Madam Gu smiled through her tears: "I’ve often heard Ruanruan mention how well her second brother treats her."
Saying this, she gave a side glance.
A uniformed notary stepped onto the stage and pulled out a document.
"This is a paternity test report, confirming that Miss Su Ruanruan is, indeed, the biological daughter of Mr. Gu Yuanpei."
The crowd was abuzz once again.
Su Qionglin’s complexion grew exceedingly awkward.
She still wanted to cause trouble, but Elder Master Su narrowed his eyes and said sternly, "Sit down."
Su Qionglin reluctantly sat down, like a dog that had lost its home.
The Bao family was left with an even more complicated taste in their hearts.
Especially Bao Mingyuan.
He had driven Ruanruan away, never imagining that Ruanruan was Gu Ze’s biological sister.
She was the true heiress of the Gu family!
He had wrongly accused her.
Beside him, Madam Bao lost her composure, her fine nails digging into her flesh.
She hated herself for not investigating properly back then!
She had bet on the wrong horse!
She had forsaken Su Ruanruan, choosing Xia Minglan instead.
Madam Bao closed her eyes, feeling as if her blood had turned to ice!
She struggled to uphold herself, watching everything on stage intently.
The lights dimmed down completely.
A beam of purple light shone from the stage to the entrance of the banquet hall.
The doors opened slowly.
Su Ruanruan appeared in a mint green dress, her long black shining hair brushed perfectly straight, embellished with a precious diamond necklace at her neck.
Her face was radiant.
Beautiful and flawless!
She was ignorant of everything.
Gu Jiarou stood by her side, elated: "Ruanruan, we must carry ourselves with poise! Everyone is watching."
"Is this too grandiose of an entrance?" Su Ruanruan asked quietly.
Gu Jiarou grinned, "Not at all."
It’s your 18th birthday after all, Princess!
With a faint smile, Su Ruanruan stepped forward.
She walked toward Mr. and Mrs. Gu, toward Gu Ze.
Toward her biological parents and her brother, step by step.
Gu Jiarou’s eyes reddened quietly.
And just then, the piano sounded.
It was the piece "Starry Sky"!
The one sitting at the piano was the person herself.
The Gu couple spared no expense for their daughter...
That short 100 meters, under the watchful eyes of the crowd!
Finally, Su Ruanruan approached the front of the stage.
Gu Ze bent down and took her hand.
Their appearances were equally remarkable, creating a beautiful and dreamy scene!
The prestigious actress... had quietly moved to the side.
This princess of the Gu family, she would undoubtedly need to ingratiate herself with in the future.
Gu Ze led Su Ruanruan to the 188-layer cake, and gently embraced her: "Happy birthday, Yunxi."
Su Ruanruan’s smile froze at the corners of her mouth.
She stared blankly at Gu Ze, then turned her gaze to Mr. and Mrs. Gu Yuanpei.
It wasn’t... they agreed on adopting her!
How did she become Gu Yunxi?
With difficulty, she spoke, "I... am not..."
"Ruanruan, you are our biological daughter," Mrs. Gu said tearfully: "I’m sorry, mother found you so late."
Mrs. Gu reached out her hand shakily—
Su Ruanruan was dazed for a long while.
She should have realized it earlier.
Aunt Gu treated her exceptionally well, and she had met all the relatives of the Gu family, who treated her very kindly and gave her many gifts.
If not of blood, how could it be?
Su Ruanruan liked them, but the sudden emergence of kinship also frightened her.
She... was not Su Peiming’s daughter!
A long-held belief collapsed!
And what about the things she was supposed to do... should they all be overturned?
Her gaze was tormented.
Suddenly, she caught the gaze of a profound pair of eyes.
He sat in the farthest corner, watching her tenderly.
Like a husband, yet also like an elder.
Indulgent, and gentle.
