Stolen Life of the Poor Girl, Top Luxury Family's Group Favor

Chapter 181

The cemetery was located in the suburbs, where the nights were not as brightly lit as in the city center, but rather resembled a giant black python coiled among the mountains and forests.

However, this dark and desolate road had suddenly become lively.

Countless luxury cars drove by one after another, the stream of vehicles seemingly endless.

A reporter crouching by the roadside to take photos couldn't help but exclaim, "This is bloody spectacular!"

After saying that, he immediately arranged for it to be the headline that evening.

However, the public's enthusiasm for this event was low, with netizens casually discussing it before moving on.

If it had been about someone fighting over an inheritance, or a celebrity's affair with a model leading to divorce... now that would have been interesting!

The funeral (wedding) was held first, with news of the banquet released later.

When President An heard the news, his first reaction was that they wouldn't be able to attend.

His second thought was of An Ying.

"Dad, why are you home so early today?"

President An hurried home, meeting his children's surprised gazes.

"Where's An Ying?" he asked.

"What did An Ying do wrong?" they asked curiously, with a hint of schadenfreude in their eyes.

An Ying came rushing at the sound of her name, just in time to hear her father ask, "Where's that invitation?"

"It's... it's tucked in a book."

"Go get it."

President An carefully examined the invitation again: "That's right, this is the Zhang family's invitation, and it was sent out earlier than to others."

"Clearly, this is special treatment."

"But why... were only you invited?" President An slowly raised his head, his expression frozen.

An Ying's brother and sister's expressions also froze.

On the day of the banquet, An Ying enjoyed rare royal treatment at home.

Her father personally chose her clothes, her mother personally selected her jewelry.

Her brother and sister enthusiastically saw her off to the car.

Why? Even An Ying couldn't quite understand.

An Ying lowered her head, staring at the name on the invitation.

This signature, "Zhang Ruoshui"... who was that?

*

"Miss Zhang."

"Miss Zhang?"

Li Xiaoya tilted her head, then realized they were calling her.

She looked at the waiter.

The waiter smiled and said, "Your grandfather asked us to bring you a glass of milk."

Li Xiaoya nodded and accepted it.

She should be called Zhang Ruoshui now.

Although she was still a bit unused to the new name.

The previous name her mother had given her was based on the surname "Li", which didn't sound as good when paired with the surname "Zhang", lacking the proper tonal balance.

In the end, it was her grandfather who decided to give her a new name.

Having multiple names didn't matter... in the future, she could also be like Ke Muning, with fake names everywhere.

After drinking the milk in one go, she leaned on the railing, watching as more and more guests gradually arrived downstairs...

Finally, it was time for her to go down as well.

"Now, let me solemnly introduce my granddaughter, my own granddaughter, Xi Nian's daughter..." Old Mr. Zhang stood on the stage, extending his hand towards her.

An Ying, squeezed in the crowd, instantly widened her eyes.

The reporters in the crowd were also dumbfounded.

"Isn't that Li Xiaoya?"

"Who? Who's Li Xiaoya?" This came from other reporters who rarely covered variety shows, voicing their confusion.

"Damn, the one from the 'Exchange Lives' show, how is she the Zhang family's child?"

Some wealthy ladies in Jin City's social circle were also puzzled: "She looks familiar."

"Oh, isn't this the one from that show you were on, Ning Heng..."

"Did Young Master Sheng... end up picking up the Zhang family's own child?"

At this, everyone turned to stare at Sheng Yuxiao.

Sheng Yuxiao didn't speak, just staring at the little girl on stage who was the center of attention.

He felt a bit happy, yet a bit sad.

It was as if the treasure he had been secretly cherishing was now seen by everyone...

Seeing that Sheng Yuxiao wasn't responding, the others didn't feel upset, but just quietly asked their own children, "Why don't you go on a show too?"

"The Zhang family doesn't have a second child to be picked up, you might as well give up."

"True, what a pity."

Some people were discussing, others were taking selfies.

A jewelry merchant's daughter took a selfie and casually posted it on social media.

[Huh? Why is Li Xiaoya in the photo?]

Netizens' attention to her was still immersed in the previous wave of legal news about catching Li Jiang...

This jewelry merchant's daughter preferred watching foreign variety shows and wasn't very familiar with domestic ones, so she replied to her fans with a question mark.

[This one, this is Li Xiaoya]

Fans enthusiastically circled and pointed it out.

[What Li Xiaoya? This is the Zhang family's granddaughter. I heard they finally reunited, and today's banquet is to celebrate the reunion, it's a very grand affair.]

The jewelry merchant's daughter's one sentence immediately stirred up a thousand waves.

Soon, netizens began to wonder what kind of family the Zhang family was.

With a quick search, they found the funeral news from a few days ago, and the impressive scene from that day once again entered the public eye.

[Am I watching a TV series? Damn! There's actually a conclusion!]

[My goodness, is the Zhang family that powerful? It's good she was found and brought back]

[All the celebrities of Jin City are here...]

[Who still remembers how people used to criticize Li Xiaoya for sucking up to Young Master Sheng and Young Master Qin, calling her a leech! Bah! Come out and I'll give you a slap!]

[Great news, I heard the village chief of Li Family Village and his son were both sentenced to death. The wicked are punished, and the good are rewarded...]

The netizens' enthusiastic discussions quickly pushed the news to the top of the trending topics.

As a result, the viewership of the first season of "Exchange Lives" suddenly started to increase dramatically again.

At this time, Wei Xuanming was also scrolling through the photos being shared online in real-time.

"The wicked are punished, and the good are rewarded... that's how it should be."

He said softly, then suddenly started coughing uncontrollably.

His old friend rushed to his bedside, disapprovingly saying, "You shouldn't be using your phone anymore."

"Just three more minutes."

"No!"

"One minute..."

"No!"

"Don't you always want to see what my heir looks like?"

"Ha, you mean your granddaughter? Aren't you always reluctant to show me..."

Wei Xuanming turned the phone screen to show him.

His old friend was silent for a moment: "...The news clearly states she's the Zhang family's child. Don't go imagining someone else's child is yours just because she's cute!"

Wei Xuanming smiled, not arguing.

Thinking this way... was good.

Little Duck could stand proudly in the sunlight, as the Zhang family's child, the Zhang family's heir...

"Alright, I won't look anymore." Just as Wei Xuanming was about to hand over the phone, it suddenly rang.

He looked down.

Surprisingly, it was Little Duck calling.

"...Hello." He hesitated before answering.

"Grandpa, can you come home? I'm on my way home now."

Wei Xuanming was stunned: "Shouldn't you be..."

Staying with the Zhang family?

On the other end of the phone, Little Duck was carrying a bulging backpack filled with all sorts of gifts.

She said, "Don't be jealous, I'll be home soon!"

Wei Xuanming raised his hand to press against his eyes: "Little Duck, you..."

Wouldn't inheriting two families be too tiring for a little child?

But Wei Xuanming couldn't help but indulge in this fantasy at this moment.

On the other end, the car came to a stop.

Little Duck got out of the car with her phone, she walked in, and the servants who saw her were also very surprised, seemingly not expecting her to come back at all...

"Grandpa? Why aren't you here yet?" she asked.

"I..." Wei Xuanming didn't know how to answer.

At this moment, unfamiliar voices sounded in the courtyard: "Miss Zhang?"

Little Duck tilted her head and looked over.

It was... Old Mrs. Feng and her granddaughter Xing Siyun.

"Why is Miss Zhang here?" Old Mrs. Feng asked, her eyes flickering.

Clearly, they had all seen the news!

But Little Duck found this question strange.

"This is my home, why can't I come?"

"Miss Zhang, isn't the Zhang family your home now?"
