Enraged, he cursed, "This Lu Family is two-faced! They've played us for fools! What do they Xiang Family for?!"

"I only have one precious daughter. If my daughter is unhappy, then they won't have a good time either!"

Those of us who do business and invest value credit above all else, how dare they play tricks on us! That very night, we canceled the Marriage Alliance with the Lu Family, announced the complete termination of all cooperation, and declared that we would never cooperate again!

Lu Yanshi returned home that day, he was slapped as soon as he entered the door, and before he could react, he was kicked.

Lu Li grabbed a nearby stool, ready to smash it over his head, but his wife stopped him, saying, "Lu Li, calm down! If that stool hits him, he'll be dead!"

"It's gone, it's gone. I'm going to beat this unfilial son to death!"

Lu Yanshi's temper flared up too, "What's wrong with you now!"

"During the banquet, you should say less. He just Xiang Family to annul the Marriage Alliance and terminate all cooperation. Your father is furious right now, so you should keep quiet!" The woman advised Lu Li as she tried to stop him.

To everyone's surprise, Lu Yanshi's eyes lit up, and he became even more excited, "The Marriage Alliance is really dissolved? Isn't it good to dissolve the Marriage Alliance!"

"You dare laugh? I'll beat this unfilial son to death!" Lu Li's anger flared even more. "Is the point about dissolving the Marriage Alliance? It's about terminating the cooperation, permanently terminating the cooperation! The day the Lu Family is gone, it'll be because of you, you unfilial son!"

Lu Yanshi wasn't afraid at all. "Lu Li, don't go crazy here. The Xiang Family is gone, but there's still the Shen Family! The Shen Family is having a birthday banquet next Friday night. I've already told you the time. Do I have to teach you what to do?"

"You dare to lecture your father like that!"

That night was destined to be anything but peaceful for the Lu Family.

Everyone carried their own thoughts and feelings, and the next few days passed peacefully. However, the calmer the surface, the more unknown the storms that might be brewing beneath.

Friday evening arrived quickly.

This birthday banquet invited almost all of Jing City's elite families, with a very large number of attendees. Shen Jingyao chose the Proterly Manor in the Jing City as the venue.

It is also one of the largest manors in Jing City, with its castle covering nearly a thousand acres. They even arranged rooms for every guest who attended, which shows how much the Shen Family valued this banquet.

Shen Anya never dreamed that her most grand birthday party in all these years would be to announce to the world that she was a fake heiress and the adopted daughter of the Shen Family!

Everything about this incredibly luxurious place seemed to be mocking her.

The most shocked person was Shen Luoluo. She had no idea from beginning to end that the Shen Family held this birthday party to announce to everyone that she was the real heiress! She thought that this birthday party was just a way for the wealthy family to expand their social circle!

She was still stunned even after Shen Ting'an finished announcing it on stage!

Zhao Huizhen was afraid that Shen Luoluo would be nervous because she had never faced such a scene with so many people before, so she held Shen Luoluo's hand tightly the whole time and patted her palm from time to time to comfort her.

Even Shen Xiche, who had already participated in the program and undergone temporary closed training, was called back, and the whole family appeared in front of everyone.

Zhao Huizhen nearly broke down in tears several times in the audience, choking back sobs. "I'm sorry, Luoluo. We should have told you about this at the family reunion banquet the day you came back. It's all our fault for delaying it until now. I'm so sorry!"

Shen Luoluo didn't know what to say for a moment, so she simply held her hand in return.

Zhao Huizhen's eyes were red, her heart was completely melted, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.

Shen Jingyao was prepared and handed her a tissue.

Among the many guests attending the banquet, some already knew about it, while others only found out now.

Zhao Ziyan is one of those who only found out now.

She is not studying in China now and only comes back occasionally for business. She only found out about this a couple of days ago when her parents told her to come back for a banquet.

The last time I came back was for the old man's birthday banquet, and I heard that Shen Luoluo was an illegitimate daughter. This time I came back to attend the banquet to announce the true and false heiresses.

The illegitimate daughter became the real heiress, and the real heiress was the adopted daughter who was switched at birth!

Just now in the banquet hall, she had heard about Shen Anya stealing her best friend's fiancé. Combining the two incidents, and recalling the things she and Shen Anya said at the old man's birthday banquet, plus her reaction...

The more Zhao Ziyan thought about it, the more terrifying it seemed. Clearly, Shen Anya had known all along that Shen Luoluo was the real heiress and that she was the adopted daughter, but Shen Anya let her say those things without refuting or explaining, her intentions were obvious.

Shen Anya seemed to have become accustomed to this kind of theft, whether she was a real heiress or someone else's fiancé, she did it all the same way!

If one day Zhao Ziyan also gets something she wants, will she steal or rob it too?

Zhao Ziyan dared not even think about it; the thought was terrifying!

No, she had to tell the Shen Family about this. Having someone like this hidden around them was like a time bomb; who knew when he might plot against them!

That's terrifying!

There were just too many people at the banquet today, Shen Family was busy taking care of the guests, so she didn't have a chance to speak. She looked at the crowd with concern, knowing that she needed to let the Shen Family know about this as soon as possible!

After waiting for a while, she finally saw Shen Jiayan emerge from the crowd and walk towards the restroom. She quickly followed!

Meanwhile, Shen Luoluo, Zhao Huizhen, and the others were busy dealing with the guests.

Everyone present was from high society, so they were all familiar with the etiquette at the banquet. Most of them congratulated and blessed Shen Ting'an and his wife for finding their biological daughter.

But there are always some people who can't stand to see others doing well; after a few pleasantries, they start making sarcastic remarks.

"Director Shen. and Mrs. Shen, how could you be so careless? You even mixed up the children! It's fortunate they were found. If they hadn't, our own flesh and blood would have been lost abroad. That would have been terrible. What if they had encountered bad people..."
