Meanwhile, the camera switched to Nan Gong You Zi and Nan Gong Jiao Fen.

[Nan Gong Jiao Fen originally wanted to help Nan Gong You Zi escape the marriage, but this time, Nan Gong You Zi didn’t run away but went straight to the center of the banquet hall.

All eyes were on this rumored fiancée.

Under the gaze of the countless guests, Nan Gong You Zi smiled slightly.

Seeing that Nan Gong You Zi didn’t disappear this time, Emperor Fu Ao Tian couldn’t hide his excitement and approached her, looking at her affectionately. “Xiao Zi—”

Before he could finish his sentence, Nan Gong You Zi interrupted him.

Nan Gong You Zi turned to face all the guests and loudly said, “I’m here today to apologize to everyone. I’m sorry for making you attend this engagement ceremony time and time again, wasting your time. So, today, I want to tell all the guests present, as well as Mr. Fu Ao Tian.” She then turned to Emperor Fu Ao Tian, who had an unhappy expression, “This engagement was not my choice, and ultimately, we are not meant to be together. I’m sorry, but I can’t accept it, and I ask Young Master Fu Ao to find another suitable match.”

After saying this, Nan Gong You Zi intended to leave.

However, Emperor Fu Ao Tian suddenly grabbed her wrist, his entire body emanating a fierce aura. “Nan Gong You Zi! Do you know what you’re saying?”

[Emperor Fu Ao Tian suddenly got aggressive, and the Nan Gong couple immediately wore stern expressions. However, before they could approach, a figure rushed forward and grabbed Emperor Fu Ao Tian’s hand, which was holding onto Nan Gong You Zi.

Nan Gong Jiao Fen quickly placed a small vase into her bag, and as she swung it down, Emperor Fu Ao Tian winced in pain and reflexively released his grip.

Seeing this, Nan Gong Jiao Fen immediately grabbed Nan Gong You Zi and shielded her behind her, trembling as she threatened, “We’ve made it clear we’re not interested. If you keep harassing us, be prepared for a harassment lawsuit!” After saying this, without waiting for Emperor Fu Ao Tian’s reaction, she pulled Nan Gong You Zi and ran!

Behind them, Emperor Fu Ao Tian was shouting in anger, and Nan Gong Jiao Fen, despite her fear of him deep down, didn’t look back and continued running.

In this cursed place with this cursed man, they never needed to see each other again!

With the plot developing to this point, Xue Ya Ya was already emotionally stirred, her eyes brimming with tears!

Indeed, she had disliked Xue Yang Yang because her parents always praised her, and everyone seemed to prefer Xue Yang Yang. So, she felt jealous and wanted to compete with her sister at every turn.

However, she had never thought of humiliating Xue Yang Yang like Nan Gong Jiao Fen did in the previous life or doing something as illegal and criminal as drugging her. She wouldn’t even consider such actions; it was beyond her principles.

But if she hadn’t seen this elopement scene in the movie and realized that she was gradually resorting to lies and deceit to gain favor with Gu Zou Shang, would she have ended up doing things on the edge of legality, just like the crimes she was witnessing? She had never deceived anyone before, and even when she competed, she did it openly and fairly…

Xue Ya Ya suddenly felt remorseful!

After reflecting on her own mistakes, there were only twenty minutes left in the film.

Due to Nan Gong You Zi’s speech at the engagement ceremony, Emperor Fu Ao Tian became the topic of discussion among many elite families.

Emperor Fu Ao Tian couldn’t accept all of this. He still couldn’t figure out which step he had taken wrong in this life. Why didn’t Xiao Zi like him anymore? Why did even that malicious woman Nan Gong Jiao Fen keep her distance from him?

What had gone wrong? Did he really have to expose his true feelings to her?

Emperor Fu Ao Tian couldn’t accept the fact that everyone had distanced themselves from him in this life. Everyone should like him, right? Everything should belong to him!

Why? Why was this happening?

Emperor Fu Ao Tian began to act obsessively, relentlessly pursuing Nan Gong You Zi before she officially belonged to him.

Nan Gong You Zi found Emperor Fu Ao Tian’s daily visits annoying.

And so, half a month later, the Nan Gong couple hosted a banquet to formally introduce Nan Gong You Zi to everyone.

However, an unexpected guest arrived at the banquet.

Emperor Fu Ao Tian’s aunt slowly walked to the center of the banquet hall. She clapped her hands to grab everyone’s attention and then began speaking slowly, “First of all, congratulations to Mr. Nan Gong and Mrs. Nan Gong for finding their missing daughter…”

After a series of pleasantries, she finally got to the point, “I am here today to ask Mr. Nan Gong and Mrs. Nan Gong about one thing. Does the alliance between the Nan Gong family and the Fu family still hold?”

Her words left the audience in a state of confusion.

“What does she mean? Wasn’t the engagement with Emperor Fu Ao Tian already in progress? What’s going on?”

“Isn’t the Fu family embarrassed enough?”

“Didn’t you hear? Emperor Fu Ao Tian is still unwilling to give up. I heard he’s still pursuing the Nan Gong family’s little lady.”

“I just saw Emperor Fu Ao Tian at the scene a moment ago! Look, he’s over there.”

“What? Did the Nan Gong family send him an invitation?”

“Probably sent it to the Fu family. After all, even though the engagement was canceled, the two families can’t afford to become enemies…”

“So, what kind of show are we going to see now? Are they going to publicly reject the proposal again, right in front of all of us?”

“Who knows?”

The discussions among the audience were heard by Emperor Fu Ao Tian, and he looked at his aunt on stage with an unpleasant expression, not understanding what she was trying to do!

Coincidentally, his aunt also looked at him.

She raised the corners of her mouth, but her eyes were filled with disdain and contempt. “After all, Emperor Fu Ao Tian is not a member of our Fu family. So, I had to come and clarify the matter of the alliance between our two families with Mr. Nan Gong and Mrs. Nan Gong.”

With her words, the entire hall erupted in chaos!

“What’s going on?”

“What does she mean? Emperor Fu Ao Tian is not Mr. Fu’s biological son?”

“Mr. Fu has been unconscious for so many years. If he wakes up and finds out that his son is fake, won’t he faint again?”

The live chat was now more excited than the guests at the scene, filled with “Ah, finally!” and other comments.

“It’s finally here!”

“I knew it! Emperor Fu Ao Tian is definitely not the Fu family’s biological son!”

“Look at Emperor Fu Ao Tian’s expression! He never expected his favorite aunt to betray him like this!”

“I suddenly feel so satisfied!”

“Now Emperor Fu Ao Tian can’t climb back up! Haha, I’m really enjoying this! He used to think that Xiao Zi’s identity wasn’t worthy of him. He’s just a fake son of the Fu family, what right does he have to criticize the entire Thousand Gold daughter?”

“No, don’t you guys feel that Emperor Fu Ao Tian’s expression is off? If I knew I wasn’t my dad’s biological son, I would be shocked and find it hard to believe, but look at Emperor Fu Ao Tian, he obviously knew all along that he was fake!”

【Damn! The person who spoke earlier is spot on! I knew Emperor Fu Ao Tian was acting strangely, and now it all makes sense!】

[At this moment, the live audience was in a state of shock.

Looking at Nan Gong You Zi and Nan Gong Jiao Fen, they both secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

After the DNA test that day, they had learned that Emperor Fu Ao Tian was not Mr. Fu’s biological son. However, they couldn’t handle this matter themselves. So, without knowing that the other had also conducted a DNA test, they both anonymously sent the test report to Emperor Fu Ao Tian’s aunt!

They had thought that Emperor Fu Ao Tian’s aunt would handle this matter privately, as family secrets shouldn’t be exposed in public. But they never expected that she would come to the banquet and reveal this matter in front of so many people.

Nan Gong You Zi and Nan Gong Jiao Fen found their aunt’s behavior contradictory to her previous affection for Emperor Fu Ao Tian. Given her love for him, even if she knew he wasn’t the real Fu family’s young master, she wouldn’t have completely abandoned him in front of so many people.

It was strange, but they couldn’t pinpoint what exactly was odd.

The Nan Gong couple, on the other hand, were clearly shocked by their aunt’s words. They both turned to look at Emperor Fu Ao Tian in the corner of the banquet hall.

Others also cast their gazes on Emperor Fu Ao Tian.

Emperor Fu Ao Tian tightly clenched the wine glass in his hand.

With a “bang,” the wine glass shattered in Emperor Fu Ao Tian’s hand, and blood dripped from his palm. He looked at his aunt in the center of the hall with a dark expression. Suddenly, he put on his usual gentle smile and tried to keep his tone calm, “Aunt, are you joking? When Dad brought me back, we already did a paternity test, and didn’t you see the results?”

Aunt Fu then smiled too, “Yes, I saw the results at the time, and it indeed showed that you have a parent-child relationship. But what if you tampered with the results at the time?” As she spoke, she opened her holographic screen and projected the blue light in front of everyone’s eyes. She looked at Emperor Fu Ao Tian, “Now, explain to me, what’s going on here?”

Everyone saw that the DNA report displayed on the screen showed that Emperor Fu Ao Tian and Mr. Fu (Emperor Fu’s father) did not have a parent-child relationship!

With the physical evidence right before their eyes, the guests who had previously been spectators suddenly realized the gravity of the situation.

If this result was true, then the result of the paternity test conducted when Emperor Fu Ao Tian was brought back must have been tampered with!

As for who had tampered with it, there was no mystery left.

Unexpectedly, just attending a banquet, they had learned the Fu family’s secret!

Looking at Emperor Fu Ao Tian, even in the face of this test result, he still seemed to want to resist.

Aunt Fu immediately threatened to conduct another paternity test and invited everyone present to witness the truth!

However, as soon as Aunt Fu finished speaking, a cold and imposing male voice rang out—

“Emperor Fu Ao Tian, have you caused enough trouble?”

The audience then saw, as the camera zoomed in, a man in a wheelchair gradually appeared in everyone’s view!

[Ah, my son-in-law, you finally woke up!]

[Wow, wow, wow! The real male lead has finally made his entrance!]

[Wow, his voice is too good, even when he’s angry! And he’s incredibly handsome when he opens his eyes!]

[Family, after President He, my second husband has appeared!]

The live audience, even as viewers, were overwhelmed by Emperor Fu Ao Tian’s aura!

Some people, when they appear, make you feel their presence through their overwhelming presence. The authority of those in power is not to be underestimated, and in front of such people, you dare not even raise your head.

[Is this the real male lead? I have to say, compared to Emperor Fu Ao Tian, he’s on another level!]

[Ah, did no one else notice that moment just now? Emperor Fu Ao Tian smiled! He saw the goose girl and smiled! He must have known all along that the one murmuring in his ear was the goose girl!]

[My goodness! I’m eating my words! I admit I was a bit too loud about this couple before! Just a glance exchange a moment ago made me scream like crazy! Yan Jie really knows how to create an atmosphere! They are unexpectedly captivating!]

【Did none of you notice?! The handsome waiter pushing Emperor Fu Han Sheng’s wheelchair is the real crown prince of the Fu family! I’ve been guessing that this waiter might be the true heir to the Fu family, and now it seems like I’m almost certain!】

【I’m so curious right now! How did the waiter suddenly become so close to Emperor Fu Han Sheng? And Emperor Fu Ao Tian, he must have known he was an imposter, right? What about the aunt? Why did she suddenly abandon Emperor Fu Ao Tian? Someone, my CPU is overheating! Please explain!】

The barrage of comments couldn’t provide a clear explanation, but it didn’t matter because Yan Yue soon revealed the truth to everyone!

[Because of this commotion, the banquet ended this way.

Emperor Fu Han Sheng’s side.

After bringing Aunt Fu and Emperor Fu Ao Tian back home, Emperor Fu Han Sheng sat in his wheelchair, closing his eyes to rest.

He remained silent, which made Aunt Fu and Emperor Fu Ao Tian even more anxious. They felt a chill down their spines, and sweat formed on their foreheads.

After a long while, Aunt Fu couldn’t bear the torment any longer and took the initiative to speak. However, at this moment, her smile was even more awkward than tears. She said, “Han Sheng, when did you wake up?”

For a vegetative patient who had just awakened, it was impossible for his physical functions to recover so quickly. There was only one possible explanation!

Emperor Fu Han Sheng had actually awakened a long time ago.

The man who was questioned slowly opened his eyes, and his dark eyes swept towards Aunt Fu. He spoke calmly, “Not long ago, about two months ago.”

These six words struck Aunt Fu like a thunderbolt, and she nearly collapsed to the ground!

“Why didn’t you tell me earlier? You have no idea how worried I was about you during all these years when you were in a coma…” Aunt Fu struggled to maintain her smile, her tone filled with concern.

However, Emperor Fu Han Sheng suddenly chuckled, “Tell you earlier? And then what?”

He raised his eyes abruptly, and his icy gaze seemed to pierce through Aunt Fu. His words were like sharp knives, cutting into Aunt Fu’s heart, “Let you plot against me again?”

In an instant, Aunt Fu was petrified by the overwhelming, menacing gaze of Emperor Fu Han Sheng. She sat down on the ground, her breathing rapid, her pupils dilated, filled with fear.

How was this possible? How could her good brother know that she had tampered with the aircraft?

Emperor Fu Han Sheng seemed to know what she was thinking, and with a cold, mocking smile, he said, “Curious about how I found out? Why don’t you ask him?”

With that, Emperor Fu Han Sheng turned his gaze to Emperor Fu Ao Tian, who had been cowering on the side.

Emperor Fu Ao Tian, when suddenly confronted with questions, lost all the demeanor he had as Young Master Fu. Under the intense gaze of Emperor Fu Han Sheng, he felt as if he was being strangled, and his face turned beet red. Faced with Aunt Fu’s murderous look, he shook his head desperately.

Don’t ask him, he really didn’t know anything! He—

Suddenly, Emperor Fu Ao Tian froze in place!

Could it be from that time?!

Everyone saw a flashback in Emperor Fu Ao Tian’s memory. Sixteen-year-old Emperor Fu Ao Tian had been brought back to the Fu family. He had been nervous yet excited, dazzled by the grandeur of the Fu family’s palace-like residence. However, he wasn’t the real son of Emperor Fu, and Emperor Fu Han Sheng’s true son was his best friend. He had stolen his friend’s identity, and the only memento he had left from his mother was used as proof of his identity. Holding onto that token, he had followed Emperor Fu Han Sheng back to the Fu family.

Out of fear of being discovered by Emperor Fu Han Sheng, he had taken the initiative to forge a paternity test to prove that he was Emperor Fu Han Sheng’s biological son.

However, at that time, he was still too naive and didn’t realize that the paternity test was completely unnecessary.

When Emperor Fu Han Sheng received the paternity test results, he understood everything. But he didn’t say anything and left shortly afterward, claiming to have some business to attend to.

Emperor Fu Ao Tian didn’t know that Emperor Fu Han Sheng had gone to pick up his real son. He thought Emperor Fu Han Sheng was just going on a business trip. So, in an attempt to please Emperor Fu Han Sheng, he had prepared a lunchbox himself and planned to surprise Emperor Fu Han Sheng by sneaking onto the aircraft Emperor Fu Han Sheng was using for his trip.

However, what Emperor Fu Ao Tian didn’t expect was that on that day, he stumbled upon Aunt Fu tampering with the aircraft…
