The parents and children who had come forward had almost arrived, and the lights in the banquet hall dimmed with them.

As the day progressed, it started with a talent show for the little ones.

Unfortunately, these talents are not solely for the purpose of cultivation, but have long since secretly become a climbing competition.

Listening to the people around her explicitly and implicitly bragging about her family's children, Su Qinglan's headache returned.

"Mommy, are you not feeling well?" Zee asked in a small voice as he knowingly tugged on her cuffs.

Su Qinglan immediately returned to her senses and shook her head, "I'm fine, all the other kids have gone backstage to get ready, aren't you going?"

"I'm on the last one." Zee gave her a grumbling look, she couldn't even remember that.

Will Ozawa's finale couldn't have been clearer in this little mind.

Although there weren't many children bearing the name of the Gu family, there was still a difference between the biological ones and the others, and although Xiao Ze's mother's 'whereabouts were unknown', he was still the jewel in the palm of Gu Jinchi's hand.

This little gesture of currying favor with the Gu family was too obvious.

Su Qinglan laughed dryly twice to hide her embarrassment, and Xiao Ze sighed with some hatred and left his seat.

The person next to them seemed to have been listening to their conversation with straight ears, only then did he come over, "I heard that Xiao Ze was carried back from China by the Gu family's young master, are you really his real mother?"

This is not the first time today that such an offensive question has been asked.

But Su Qinglan still maintained her patience and agreed, "Yes, or else I'll prepare another DNA identification for you?"

Mrs. Zhang quickly waved her hand, "Don't joke, I was just that curious to ask."

"But, I heard that the Gu family didn't prepare a wedding for you? Wouldn't that be the in-laws disowning their daughter-in-law?"

After all was said and done, they still wanted to know the gossip of the Gu family at the top of the pyramid.

Su Qinglan couldn't help but snort lightly, "Don't you think these questions are a bit rude for a first time meeting?"

She maintained basic politeness, but the other gave her a blank look and a low grunt.

"Shenanigans."

Only then did Su Qinglan realize that the people next to her could all be curious about her with strained ears.

Seeing that Mrs. Chang had touched her nose, the nasty whispers began again.

"If the Gu family gave it a go, could it be such a secretive and non-communicative attitude."

"It's obvious that they didn't give anything, and they threatened to stay hard on the basis that they are the mother of the child, right?"

"It's not certain if it's the real mother or not, look at the foxy look."

"I know someone from the Gu family, and I heard that Elder Gu doesn't like this granddaughter-in-law very much. But he just has a younger grandson who's smarter and more intelligent, so he loves her."

Su Qinglan couldn't help but laugh.

"First of all, thank you for complimenting my son on his intelligence, but it's not nice to talk so loudly about someone else's family business, is it?"

She knew very well that the more she cowered in this situation, the more these uptight ones would come on.

But as they grew fearful and mute without saying a word, there was a hint of frustration in Su Qinglan's heart.

A wedding. I don't think I'll get the chance in this lifetime.

But she was happy to have Zee.

"Mommy, water."

She froze and looked up to see Zee returning with water.

Turns out this little guy had just left to bring her water.

Her eyes watered and she rubbed Zee's head, "Thank you so much, Mommy's happy."

The face of Xiao Ze in the dimness was also embarrassed and red, he came to Su Qinglan's ear and lowered his voice, "Don't treat me like a little kid outside again, don't I want to lose face."

Su Qinglan was amused by him and lost his smile, holding the cup to watch him fall away.

There were all kinds of instruments on the stage, all violins and yangqins and guzhengs, but everyone avoided the piano.

Simply because Ozawa was the first one to settle, everyone else was intentionally avoiding suspicion.

Played well for fear of stealing the limelight of their family to offend the Gu family, played poorly more a little clumsy meaning.

The uneven music and dancing came to an end, and she finally waited for Ozawa to come on stage.

Though short but straight little body once on stage attracted all the spotlights, his etiquette learned extremely well, bowing are extraordinarily smooth and good-looking, attracted a lot of mothers red-eyed envious eyes.

Those tiny hands, though they had some trouble changing the keys, attracted the crowd at the first sound as if they were drunk, and at the end they couldn't get back to their senses for a long time.

"Thank you Ozawa-san for your wonderful piano performance."

It wasn't until the teacher led the applause that an explosion of applause could be heard.

Su Qinglan also stood up to bear the baptism of the crowd or envy or jealousy eyes, hugging to together with the light as water Xiao Ze complimented.

"Not bad for a mommy's baby, it plays really well."

The little one's face swished red again.

"Then I'll go back and play it for you every day, okay?"

Such excellent zither skills came from practicing every day, and thinking about all the time spent neglecting him, Su Qinglan couldn't help but feel frustrated.

"Okay, you'll play the piano for Mommy every day from now on."

Ozawa agreed cheerfully, but it left her heart with mixed feelings.

I wonder how long she can listen to such a light tune.

I'm sure Ze would cry a lot if she left.

Since these pampered young masters have more or less everything they don't eat or are allergic to, there is no dinner scheduled at the school convenience.

When the meeting was adjourned by a short speech, the main event was just getting underway.

"Mrs. Gu, I know of a very good restaurant nearby, would you be interested in trying it together?"

Several noblewomen gathered over in groups, all with the goal having been more than obvious.

Such a warm invitation was only permeated with a few words of not having good intentions, Su Qinglan smiled faintly and politely refused, "Sorry, I still have something to do, I have to go first."

Upon hearing this, some of them then wore a sorry face.

A day like today was supposed to be convenient for some people to profit from each other's hands, and an early exit like hers drew empty complaints from those who didn't get the chance.

What's more, they directly opened their mouths and mocked, "The Gu family is not something that can easily open its golden mouth, not to mention that if it were to open it wouldn't be one that hasn't passed through the door."

"She, ah, can't give you the benefits you want."

One sentence immediately pushed the awkward atmosphere to the top, Su Qinglan looked over following the voice and only felt that the woman looked a bit familiar.

I think I've seen you at Elder Gu's birthday banquet.

By that reckoning, it should be a member of the Gu family as well.

Her words made the already obscure relationship clear, stepping on Su Qinglan's foot while also causing the others to lose some face.

"That's not the way to put it, we're just having a cup of tea and a meal, where's the fancy in that."

Although Su Qinglan's identity was indeed awkward, but to with the end of the other identities should not be underestimated.

Not to mention the fact that today's opening was enough to make people's eyes water.

"Have we met before?" Su Qinglan couldn't even think of who she was, and could only ask bluntly.

Fu Yue Ru looked at her contemptuously and snorted coldly, "Miss Su is really a noble person who forgets things, we met at Elder Gu's birthday banquet."

"The Gu family doesn't like you, so why do you need to move up, I know exactly what happened at the birthday banquet that day."

That day was the beginning of a nightmare for Su Qinglan.

The woman in front of her was extraordinarily arrogant, and such words that drew people's imagination made the people next to her talk to each other, and there were also people who wanted to go up and flatter them shook their heads and walked away in a row.

Fu Yue Ru clasped her arms in a springy manner, as if the situation was right in her lap and under her control.

She couldn't wait to see Su Qinglan make a fool of herself, but she didn't expect Su Qinglan to just smile blandly, "Although I don't know what you're talking about, but isn't it better for business matters not to be chatted about in front of children?"

"We're all adults, we have to be responsible for what we say, there's my number on here, why don't we take some time and we'll talk, or some other time?"

She took out a business card from her bag and handed it over, her posture was wide and unperturbed, and the contrast set off Fu Yue Ru's acrimony.

What is she afraid of if she walks the talk.

Fu Yue Ru, but if she had a bit of eyesight, she could also see Gu Jin Chi's attitude that day.

Even if the Gu family didn't put her in their eyes, she was still Gu Jinchi's most beloved wife, wanting to target a Fu family, overly simple.

Under the crowd watching the spectators, Fu Yue Ru's hand trembled, which dared to pick up that business card, "I really don't know what kind of shameless woman like you don't have."

"Your face is given by the Gu family, what are you without face, less posing here, and your son."

It was fine to mention her, but when it came to Ze, Su Qinglan wasn't so kind.

Her eyes narrowed and she threw the business card directly over, her tone unkind, "This is a public place, talking is a liability."

"Face is always my own, and if you can only rely on your in-laws, then I feel sad for you. Since I've proposed a solution and you won't, why don't you talk to my lawyer?"

Most slander and libel would be forced to be ignored, but not her, and she was the one who had the scales tipped in her favor above all else.

Seeing her seriousness, Fu Yue Ru began to panic, "Which one of us has to use a lawyer to threaten even if we say a word, what's wrong with your heart, do you still want to use the Gu family's power to target our Fu family?"

"Did I say anything?" Su Qinglan laughed and looked at the people around him, all of whom received a shake of the head in response.

Obviously, Fu Yue Ru already had the worst possible scenario in mind.

"So, who is the weak-minded one?"

Seeing that there was no step down, Fu Yue Ru coldly gouged her out and indignantly wanted to leave but was blocked by Xi Ling Lan.

Xi Suzuran counted as tall, with a net height of one meter seven, not to mention wearing high heels, blocking Fu Yue Ru's path to death.

"Wouldn't this be a bad influence on the kids to not apologize for saying such a nasty thing?"

"My Cissy is still here, if she learns something bad, do I have to come to your door myself?"

The people next to him were also talking.

"Since there was a misunderstanding, an apology is all, Mrs. Gu doesn't look like she's that uninformed,"

"Yeah, the kids are all still here, it wouldn't be good to let these conflicts affect the relationship between the kids, would it?"

Seeing their hypocritical faces turn around and accuse themselves, Fu Yue Ru's lungs were about to explode, but she could only grit her teeth and say, "I'm sorry, this time it's me who offended Mrs. Gu, I still hope that you don't take it to heart."
