Chapter 354 Aunt
As soon as Yu Zi High School had its winter break, it hosted Mr. Yao’s birthday party.

The birthday banquet was held in Haicheng, and the Yao family started sending out invitations a week in advance, inviting various wealthy families to attend.

The weather is very cold in winter, and the birthday banquet is not suitable to be held outdoors, so the Yao family arranged it in the banquet hall of the Bili Hotel.

Arriving half an hour in advance, all the powerful families sent people to congratulate, and several family heads and elders were present in person.

Men, women, young and old, all dressed in fine clothes gathered together, and the scene was very lively.

As soon as Jing Yuhan appeared, he became the focus of the banquet.

He was wearing a neat suit, had an upright posture, and there was a sharpness in his brows that could not be ignored.

Many guests had never seen Jing Yuhan, and asked in private, who is this handsome young man?

Old Master Yao stood on the stage, his eyes swept across the crowd, finally stopping on Jing Yuhan.

The old man was in a very good mood, his face was rosy, and he waved to the guests, "Everyone, today I want to introduce to you, this is my godson, the academic genius of Yuzi High School, Jing Yuhan!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the whole audience fell silent, and then broke into thunderous applause.

"You may not know Jing Yuhan, but some of you must have heard of his other name, Mu Cigui." Old Master Yao's voice rang out again, his loud voice piercing through the noise of the banquet.

This time, the whole audience was shocked and there was a lot of discussion.

"To be recognized by Mr. Yao, this Jing Yuhan is not simple!"

"Mu Cigui? Is he the genius who just returned to the Mu family?"

"No wonder Mu Cigui missed the science and technology competition. It turns out he is Jing Yuhan."

"Jing Yuhan and Mu Cigui are the same person? This is unbelievable."

Many guests felt confused and didn't understand what Mr. Yao meant by introducing Jing Yuhan at the birthday banquet.
It is hard to understand why the Mu family members became Mr. Yao’s godsons.

The Yao family has always been neutral and never participated in the open or secret struggles among the various families.

It is really puzzling that Mr. Yao is suddenly involved with the Mu family.

Does he want to form an alliance with the Mu family, or does he simply admire Jing Yuhan?
As the music started, everyone immersed themselves in the lively atmosphere, raised their glasses to toast, and quickly put the matter behind them.

Grandma Jing didn't come today. Jing Yuhan accompanied Grandpa Yao throughout the whole process, smiling but still polite and calm.

Many people praised Jing Yuhan to Mr. Yao, and when they learned that he had won a grand prize in a science and technology competition, they had an even better impression of him.

Tang Yuewei did not attend the banquet because it was inconvenient, but Shen Qingrong and Tang Yichun came on behalf of the Tang family.

Tang Yichun sat in the corner of the banquet, looking at Shen Qingrong who was dealing with the guests. She felt very dissatisfied and pulled Du Ying beside her.

"Xiaoying, do you think my brother has been poisoned? Why did he marry this woman? What's so good about her?"

Du Ying smiled slightly, pursed her lips and said nothing.

Tang Yuewei and Shen Qingrong's business marriage is a win-win situation for both the Tang and Shen families.

If she doesn't marry Tang Yuewei, Shen Qingrong will be taken back to the capital by the great elder and become Shen Zonghe's blood bag for a long time.

The marriage of the two would at least make the Great Elder restrain himself a little and not be too arrogant.

Fang Lin'er sat next to him and gently advised Tang Yichun, "Mr. Tang knows what's going on, so don't be deceived. Besides, marriage is no joke. He must have thought about it carefully and knows what he wants. Don't worry about it or complain."

Du Ying also echoed, "Chunchun, Shen Qingrong is the most famous lady in Haicheng. Marrying Mr. Tang will be a strong combination. At least it will increase the stock price of Tang Corporation by a few points."

Fengyuetianxia is one of the subsidiaries of Tang Group. Almost all of its shares are held by Du Ying and Tang Yuewei. It is not directly affected by the stock market, but when the share price of Tang Group soars, Fengyuetianxia also benefits.

Tang Yichun snorted, obviously still not buying it.

At this moment, there was a commotion at the door, and an old lady dressed in noble attire walked in. The entire venue suddenly became quiet.

Although she is old, she still has the same temperament. She looks dignified and elegant in a dark cheongsam.

When Yao Lixuan saw the old lady, she was stunned for a moment, then she quickly went to meet her, walked up to her and whispered, "Mom, why are you here?"

Her expression was stiff and unnatural, and she looked a little embarrassed.

At Mr. Yao's birthday party, people from various wealthy families gathered. The old lady was not in a proper position and was really not suitable to attend. Yao Lixuan also didn't want people to know that she was the daughter of a concubine.

Everyone looked at the old lady in surprise and found that she looked very similar to Yao Lixuan, except that her cheeks were thin, her face was gray, and her eyes were sharper.

The old lady ignored Yao Lixuan, raised her head slightly, and swept her eyes across the conference hall, finally stopping on old man Yao.

Old Master Yao also saw her and was very surprised, and was also wondering in his heart.

The two haven't seen each other for more than 30 years. I wonder what she is going to do when she suddenly appears?
The old lady walked up to Mr. Yao and glanced at Jing Yuhan beside him with a complicated and puzzled look.

"I never thought that you are still as willful as before at your age." The old lady's tone was light, but with a strong force, without any sense of weakness of an elderly person.

Old Master Yao frowned. Today was a great day and he didn't want to be laughed at by the guests.

He relaxed his brows and smiled, "Since you're here, sit down and have something to eat."

He asked Yao Lixuan to help the old lady to the sofa next to him.

The old lady pushed Yao Lixuan's hand away and said coldly, "You don't need to help me. I'll just say a few words and leave."

Her daughter did not grow up with her, so she is not close to Yao Lixuan.

"You've been in Haicheng for so long, but you still refuse to acknowledge Mo Fan? You don't want your own grandson, but acknowledge an outsider as your godson. Yao Weifeng, you're really going backwards as you get older."

The old lady's voice was not loud, but the guests all pricked up their ears and heard it clearly.

Old Master Yao didn't look very happy, but the old lady turned around and walked to Mrs. Shen and Liu Beiyun.

Mrs. Shen has known Liu Beiyun since she moved to the villa area.

The two sisters had lost contact for half their lives, but after they met again, they became inseparable.

The old lady looked at them and smiled indifferently, "I am your aunt, you are all my family, I only have one grandson, Yao Mofan, can you take care of him for me?"

The two were stunned and looked at each other, feeling very confused.

Is this old lady their aunt?
Mother's sister?
Mrs. Shen looked at the old lady and suddenly understood something.

She had long discovered that Yao Lixuan and Du Ying looked very similar, but they were not mother and daughter.

This matter has always confused her, but now the truth is finally revealed.

If the old lady is my aunt, then Yao Lixuan is my cousin.

So Yao Lixuan is Du Ying's cousin.

The two are related by blood.

Du Ying was also stunned and couldn't help complaining about the marriages between the wealthy families. If you look carefully, all the people in this room are related.

Tang Yichun was enjoying her meal and looked at Du Ying with wide eyes. "Why don't we talk about it? Maybe we are relatives."

Du Ying rolled her eyes. She didn't want to be like Jiang Yuqin, who had twenty-six brothers and who knew how many sisters he had, and she couldn't even recognize them all.

After the old lady finished speaking, she turned around and left without paying any attention to anyone else.

Du Ying hesitated for a moment, but still followed her out and called out "Aunt" obediently.

She had been back to the Shen family for so long, but she had never visited the old lady, and she felt a little guilty.

The old lady stopped, turned around and looked at her, stared at her for a long while, nodded and said, "She looks exactly like your grandmother."

After saying that, she walked out. Yao Mofan was waiting for her outside with a coat. "Grandma, put it on. Don't get cold."

The old lady put on her coat and got into the car with Yao Mofan.

Yao Mufan sat in the driver's seat, waved to Du Ying, and drove away.

Du Ying watched the car go away and stood at the door for a long time, feeling inexplicably lost.

That night, Yao Mofan sent her a message, "Grandma is gone."
