She then pulled Ruan Fuxi and said, "I just had a really delicious snack; you should try it too."
The two of them enjoyed the banquet, indulging in food and drink, as the lavish affair marked the beginning of their wonderful twenties. Ruan Jili and Lu Manyun overheard someone asking about their daughter, Xiaoxi.
"Mr. Lu and Mrs. Lu have such a great relationship; their son and daughter are both so outstanding. It's truly enviable," someone remarked.
Ruan's eldest son had taken over the family business at a young age, while the youngest had millions of fans and was the center of attention. In contrast, their own troublesome son either drank or partied, which was infuriating by comparison.
If there was anything unsatisfactory about the Ruan family, it was their daughter Ruan Fuxi, who was arrogant and foolish. However, things seemed different now; their biological daughter was intelligent and gracious, and Ruan Fuxi at today’s banquet was nothing like her past self. Not only did she exude an exceptional aura, but she also appeared to be a master of metaphysics.
As a result, after some casual conversation, people began to subtly inquire further. "Mr. Ruan, I noticed that Miss Ruan seems to have some knowledge of face reading techniques; I hadn't heard of this before."
Someone else chimed in, "Indeed, Miss Ruan is truly hiding her talents; just a glimpse of her abilities has opened our eyes."
Ruan Jili laughed it off, "It's just a little hobby of the kids; whether it's accurate or not is another matter." He then grabbed a glass of wine from a passing waiter.
"I must thank all of you for coming to my daughters' banquet today. If there are any good opportunities for collaboration in the future, let’s keep in touch."
Seeing Ruan Jili act this way, those nearby couldn't help but think of him as a cunning old fox, as he revealed nothing at all. Everyone present was savvy in business; they raised their glasses in unison—cheers to everyone.
Speaking of which, the banquet that the Ruan family organized for their two daughters was indeed filled with thoughtfulness and expense. Invitations had been sent out to nearly every household, signifying how much the Ruan family valued these two daughters.
Although some still questioned why they treated that fake heiress Ruan Fuxi so well, after attending this banquet, they would no longer refer to her as a fake heiress. As for rumors about her being driven out by the Ruan family, it seemed unlikely anyone would continue to spread them.
The Ruan family's stance was clear: regardless of whether Ruan Fuxi shared blood ties with them or not, she had a rightful share in the family's assets. With shares already distributed, how could they possibly expel Ruan Fuxi from the family?
On the other side, in a private hospital in the capital city, Cheng Qiting walked confidently to the high-end ward. The bodyguards outside were evidently familiar with him; after notifying the person inside, they allowed him to enter.
He looked at the man lying on the bed, still handling business affairs, and asked with concern, "Yan Zhou, how's your leg? What did the doctor say?"
Sheng Yanzhou closed the documents, clearly accustomed to this routine. "Like before, it can only be alleviated."
Cheng Qiting frowned. "Since modern medical methods can't find the cause, have you considered other options?"
Sheng Yanzhou understood that Cheng Qiting meant well. "What do you mean by 'other options'? Are you referring to some metaphysical practices that contradict science?"
Just as Cheng Qiting was about to nod in agreement, he heard Sheng Yanzhou continue, "The old man had someone look at it too, but there was still no result. Those esteemed masters were invited to examine my leg, yet no one could explain what was actually wrong with it."
After so many attempts, Sheng Yanzhou had stopped holding out hope.
"Alright, let's not dwell on this. Didn't I ask you to bring a congratulatory gift for the Ruan family? How did it go?"
Seeing him change the subject, Cheng Qiting followed suit. "The gift was delivered smoothly. However, the Ruan family really values that daughter of theirs who has no blood relation to them. The banquet will be held together with both daughters, treating her just like their own. She even received shares in Ruan's business."
