Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The temperature in the banquet hall plummeted. Madam Chen adjusted her clothes and asked, “Madam Liu, do you feel that it has suddenly become so cold?”

Madam Liu nodded and said, “1 feel it too. Could the air conditioner be broken?”

“I’m afraid the air conditioner is broken,” the others echoed.

“Bastard?” Mo Junyan was expressionless. His tone sounded cold and indifferent. He asked again, “Are you saying that the eldest daughter of the Gu family is pregnant with a bastard?”

As soon as Mo Junyan said this, no one noticed his abnormality. However, Shen Yizhi, who was his good friend, frowned slightly. He felt the temperature around his good friend turn cold. Sensing that something was wrong with his good friend, his eyes flashed, but he did not say anything.

Rong Cheng, Director Li, and the others also felt the temperature turn cold, but they did not notice anything unusual about Mo Junyan.

After all, their understanding of Mo Junyan came from the news reports.

Rong Cheng thought that Mo Junyan was very disdainful of a woman like Gu Qingming.

In order to discourage Gu Jianguo, he smiled and introduced, “President Mo, Miss Gu’s child has an unknown father. If this isn’t a bastard child, what is it?! However, in order to look good, everyone says that Miss Gu has given birth to a future heir who belongs solely to the Gu family. In private, many people say that they know that this is actually a bastard child.”

As soon as Rong Cheng finished speaking, someone immediately echoed.

President Li nodded and said, “President Mo, this eldest daughter of the Gu family is simply a disgrace to the socialites of Sea City’s upper-class society. She’s only in her early twenties, but she’s been deceived by a man for many years. That man only dated her because he took a fancy to her identity. He has a childhood sweetheart. Even so, she almost cut ties with her parents. Hehe, if my daughter did this, 1 would definitely break her legs and lock her in the house to prevent her from embarrassing herself outside!”

Gu Jianguo said angrily, “Rongcheng, Li Jinshan, what my daughter does has nothing to do with you. You’re all celebrities in Sea City’s business world, but you’re all like gossipers, smearing a girl’s reputation. Aren’t you shameless?”

Rong Cheng didn’t feel embarrassed at all. He said, “Gu Jianguo, why are you angry? Isn’t President Mo interested in your daughter? Aren’t 1 telling the truth?”

As soon as he finished speaking, Mo Junyan turned to look at Shang Chenghao. His expression did not change, but his voice was cold and stern as he said, “President of the Sea City Business Association, is this what the business world of Sea City is like? They’re just like gossipy women, trying to ruin a girl’s reputation?”

Upon hearing Mo Junyan’s words, Rong Cheng, Li Jinshan, and the others were stunned.

Shang Chenghao smiled obsequiously at Mo Junyan and said, “President Mo, don’t mind them! They usually won’t be like this. They have a good relationship with President Gu.”

“Oh, President Shang, do you mean that after 1 came, their relationship became bad?” Mo Junyan’s expression was calm as he said, “So, they can use the reputation of a girl as the topic of conversation? Is this the style of Sea City’s business world?”

“No, no, no.” When Shang Chenghao heard this, he knew that something was wrong. He immediately explained, “President Mo, that’s not what I meant.”

Shen Yizhi raised his eyebrows and asked in amusement, “President of the Sea City Business Association, I’ve heard some rumors about the eldest daughter of the Gu family! But isn’t it a little tasteless for you, the celebrities of Sea City’s business world, to watch a girl make a fool of herself and even ruin her reputation? The eldest daughter of the Gu family is only in her early twenties. Isn’t it normal for her to misjudge people and take the wrong path sometimes? Why is it that in your mouths, not only has she become a laughing stock, but she has also become an excuse for you, the celebrities of the business world, to attack her? It’s as if she has become a heinous person.”

The President of the Chamber of Commerce and the group of Hai Cheng business celebrities were speechless.

That was not what they meant.

Mo Junyan was silent.

Why was this young brat stealing the limelight in front of his in-laws?

It caused him to lose the chance to win the favor of his future father-in-law.

“Hehe, b*stard?” Mo Junyan made a sneering gesture, but there was no sneer on his face. “Who told you that the child Miss Gu is pregnant with is an unknown father?”

At this moment, Gu Jianguo echoed and asked with a sneer, “That’s right. I want to ask, who exactly is telling you that my daughter is pregnant with an unknown father?”

“Well…” Everyone was dumbfounded.

They had only heard about it from hearsay, but they had not verified it with the Gu family.

The reason why they were sure that Gu Qingming was pregnant with a bastard was because Gu Qingming’s ex-boyfriend had exposed it in front of the media.

Gu Jianguo said shockingly again. Hmph, “My daughter misjudged a man once. How can she misjudge a man a second time? To tell you the truth, my precious granddaughter is not a child with an unknown father. Her father is not someone you can tolerate. Therefore, I advise you to watch your words. Don’t get yourself into trouble for no reason.”

He made it so clear.

As long as Mo Junyan wasn’t a fool, he would know what he meant.

Firstly, he wanted to tell Mo Junyan that they knew Mo Junyan was the biological father of the child.

Secondly, he also wanted Mo Junyan to come forward and teach these hypocrites who had ruined his daughter’s reputation a lesson.

They could insult him, but they definitely could not insult his family.

As soon as Gu Jianguo said this, Rong Cheng, Shen Yizhi, and the others were exceptionally surprised.

Could it be that the child Gu Qingming was pregnant with really belonged to a big shot?

However, Rong Cheng did not believe it.

Rong Cheng said loudly, “Hmph, Gu Jianguo, don’t think that we’ll believe you just because you made up a father for your granddaughter. Hehe, you think we can’t afford to offend him? Let him come out. I want to see what kind of person he is. Is there a big shot in Sea City that we can’t afford to offend?”

Gu Jianguo glanced at Mo Junyan calmly.

Of course, he would not expose the child’s biological father.

However, Gu Jianguo said coldly, “Is the so-called big shot really someone you can meet just because you want to? Rong Cheng, let me give you a piece of advice. You shouldn’t be too complacent. Otherwise, you won’t even know how you died in the end!”

Rong Cheng said with a dark expression, “Gu Jianguo, don’t go overboard!”

People like him were most afraid of dying.

Gu Jianguo said coldly, “I should be the one saying this. Rong Cheng, you’d better think twice before you speak! Don’t think that just because you curried favor with President Mo, you can attack me and Gu Corporation without any worries!”

Mo Junyan was silent.

He felt wronged!

He did not support Rong Cheng at all.

No, if he continued to remain silent, this future father-in-law would probably have an opinion about him!
