“Oh, really? There's a video surveillance over there . ” Little Yichen pointed to the video surveillance at the side and continued, “I think it is facing your direction . We can replay the scene and find out the truth, then!”
The little lad then pointed a finger to Lu Jingtian and, acting mysterious, continued, “The truth will prevail . ”
He looked smug after saying this . Apparently, he was feeling pleased with himself for coming up with such a cool statement .
Everyone went silent .
Yun Shishi was flabbergasted and tickled at the same time . She was not prepared for Little Yichen's cheeky remark .
Likewise, Mu Yazhe was unable to keep his usual calmness; his stern face had a rarely seen slight smile in it .
On the second floor, Yun Tianyou was fossilized by what he had just heard .
… Is my brother trying to be funny?
Gu Xingze sniffled and then chuckled uncontrollably; he was amused by Little Yichen's interesting look .
“Ha ha ha!”
The guests were also tickled by this cute child's antics .
His biological mother, who was in the crowd, looked at him with complex emotions . She wanted to laugh but could not .
Was her child trying to shield her earlier?
She did not expect it at all .
The mother-son pair had not seen each other since he was born . Despite that, there seemed to be fetters that bound them both . The saying, 'Blood is thicker than water,' was true, indeed; their bond could not be easily erased .
Is this a connection?
What did he address me earlier?
Pretty sister?
She could not stifle a chuckle this time .
When she first met this child, he looked aloof and detached . He gave her the same impression as his father – someone whom no one could draw near – yet this child just showed her an adorable side tonight .
Youyou and this child were twins, but their temperaments were unlike .
Youyou was gentle, naïve, idealistic, and warm . Sometimes, he would be surprisingly mature and adult-like, which made him very dependable .
Little Yichen seemed to take after his father . He held a cool and deep demeanor, yet he could exude such a rare display of loveliness, too .
He should be a smart boy, right?
One of her biggest regrets was missing out on the first six years of her other child's life .
The tense atmosphere had somewhat relaxed .
A chuckling Gu Xingze signaled the assistant by his side with a look . The assistant took the hint and approached Lu Jingtian with the intention of bringing her to the medical room .
She was uncooperative at first but eventually had to succumb to the assistant's skillful persuasion .
“Miss Lu, I believe you don't want to bring unwanted attention to yourself now . That surveillance camera is facing your direction, and the earlier event should've been recorded by it clearly . Unfortunately, I've caught sight of what you did, too . Xingze is creating a diversion for you now, so I highly recommend that you take this chance to get out of this situation . ”
The assistant paused and then asked, “Do you really want to embarrass yourself in front of the media?”
“I…” Lu Jingtian was speechless for a while before she tried one last ditch, “I don't like the attention she's receiving from everyone . Why is the world revolving around her?”
“Miss Yun Shishi is Xingze's partner in this gala . He holds her in high esteem, but you are kicking up a fuss over her . Are you trying to create trouble for him?”
“I've nothing against Brother Xingze!”
“Xingze is creating a chance for you to back off now, for the sake of your father as well . Please don't do this again next time . ”
“Sorry!” she relented and apologized, allowing the assistant to help her to the medical room .
This finally put an end to the drama .
The gala, thus, peacefully started .
