Since Feng Lan returned that day, Feng Lin had dispatched another group of men to conduct a detailed investigation on Ruan Sisi abroad.
Suddenly, a thought occurred to him. Ruan Sisi had no ambiguous relationships with other men in the country. But what about abroad?
She had no relatives abroad. So what were the reasons for her two trips to Country E?
He asked Butler Chen to send people to check all the detailed medical diagnoses of the hospitals Ruan Sisi had been in, as well as her whereabouts in Country E in the past year.
With a specific direction, the difficulty of the investigation was suddenly much reduced.
"Master, there's news," Butler Chen read the email sent from abroad. "Ruan Sisi co - habited with a man named Evan during her two trips to Country E. They always referred to each other as lovers."
"Moreover, her child can't be considered a premature baby. According to the prenatal check - up records abroad, the actual time the child was conceived was at least two months earlier than the night she sneaked into the Feng Mansion..."
After figuring out the ins and outs of the matter, Feng Lin let out a sigh of relief. Finally, he could give Xiaoyu an explanation.
As for dealing with a greedy person like Ruan Sisi, it would be better to let her climb higher first so that she could fall to pieces!
So he made up his mind and didn't stop his aunt from preparing the banquet for the eldest grandson of the Feng family.
Feng Lin returned to the bedroom and pulled his lover into his arms. "Xiaoyu, there will be a banquet at the Feng family in a few days. I'll take you to watch a good show."
Su Xianyu was a bit confused, but still nodded in agreement.
---
On the day of the banquet, the mansion was filled with the city's A - list celebrities.
The crystal chandeliers refracted brilliant light. The guests were dressed in gorgeous clothes, holding champagne glasses, with proper smiles on their faces but a glint of curiosity in their eyes.
Feng Lan stood on the high platform in the center of the banquet hall, smiling as she gave a speech.
"Thank you all for taking the time to come tonight to witness this great joy of our Feng family."
She raised her hand to signal the waiter to turn on the electronic screen behind her. Instantly, pictures of a baby popped up on the screen, and Feng Lan's eyes softened a bit.
"This is our..."
Before she could finish, Feng Lin's voice cut in forcefully. Su Xianyu was on his arm as they entered the door.
"Aunt, when hosting a banquet like this, why didn't you inform the 'father' of the child..."
His voice was not loud, but it instantly silenced the surrounding noise.
Everyone's eyes were fixed on him. A sense of unease welled up in Ruan Sisi's heart.
Feng Lan was a bit surprised. She thought Feng Lin wouldn't attend tonight. But it was okay. This way, the eldest grandson of the Feng family would be more legitimate.
"Let me announce this myself."
Hearing Feng Lin speak, she thought her nephew had finally seen the light.
Feng Lan looked at Su Xianyu beside him with a bit of guilt and handed the microphone over without any defense.
"Thank you all for coming to today's banquet. Let me formally introduce someone."
Feng Lin pulled Su Xianyu's hand beside him and kissed it gently. "This is my lover, Su Xianyu, and also the current young mistress of the Feng family."
"Some time ago, due to some special reasons, we just got married first. I'll invite you all again when we hold the wedding later."
"As for her," Feng Lin pointed at Ruan Sisi, who was standing beside Feng Lan, holding the baby. "I think others have something to say."
The heavy door of the banquet hall was pushed open again. A man in a dark - colored trench coat stood at the door. His tired face showed a bit of eagerness and confusion.
His eyes scanned the crowd and finally settled on Ruan Sisi.
Seeing her and the baby in her arms, he quickened his pace involuntarily, muttering in Chinese with an obvious foreign accent. "Sisi? Baby?"
The guests' attention was instantly drawn to him, and the noise gradually grew louder.
Feng Lan frowned and looked at the newcomer, her tone unpleasant. "Who are you? This is a Feng family banquet. Idle people..."
"My name is Evan." The man stopped a few steps away from Feng Lan, his eyes fixed on the baby, with complex emotions in them.
"I'm looking for Ruan Sisi and my child."
"Your child?" Feng Lan's face darkened. "What are you talking nonsense about! This is the eldest grandson of our Feng family!"
"No, he is my son."
Evan took out his phone. In the pictures, Ruan Sisi was nestled beside him, both of them smiling brightly, with a farm in Country E as the background.
"Sisi and I met in Country E. She was pregnant with my child, but she suddenly disappeared a few months ago. I just found out recently that she came here, and I heard that she was holding a banquet for the baby..."
"Nonsense!" Feng Lan was trembling with anger. "Ruan Sisi said this child is Feng Lin's! The paternity test..."
Ruan Sisi, who had been stunned on the side, finally came to her senses and quickly echoed. "Yes, the institution has already identified that the child is of the Feng family. Don't slander me!"
Ruan Sisi was panicking. At this moment, the baby in her arms started crying loudly, his little face turning red.
She didn't have the time to care. She reached out and hugged Feng Lan beside her, with a layer of mist in her eyes. "Aunt, don't listen to his nonsense! He's just a madman trying to ruin the baby's banquet!"
"Look at his blond hair and blue eyes. He clearly doesn't look like the baby at all!"
Hearing this, Feng Lan turned to look at Feng Lin beside her and began to doubt.
Was it possible that he deliberately found someone to stage this play just to completely deny the existence of Ruan Sisi and the child?
But then, Butler Chen, who had come with them, projected two documents on the screen.
"This is the real paternity test report. The matching degree between the child and Ruan Sisi's lover, Evan, is 99.99%, and there is no blood - related relationship with our young master."
The whole hall was in an uproar.
Feng Lan's face turned from red to white, then to black, and finally became ashen.
She stared fixedly at Ruan Sisi, the anger in her eyes almost spilling out.
Ruan Sisi was trembling all over, her lips quivering. "No... it's not true... this is fake... they are framing me..."
But her body had already gone limp on the ground. The conclusive evidence made it impossible for her to keep up the pretense.
"Get out!" Feng Lan finally exploded. Pointing at the door, her voice trembled with anger. "Take your bastard child and get out of the Feng family right now! Never let me see you again!"
A few bodyguards stepped forward, picked up the limp Ruan Sisi on the ground, along with the baby in her arms, and dragged them out.
Ruan Sisi's screams and cries gradually faded away and finally disappeared outside the door...
[Announcement: The strategy value of the important supporting character, Ruan Sisi, has returned to zero. She is now reduced to a minor character.]
[What? Ruan Sisi's child belongs to someone else! This is really shocking!]
[Wow, congratulations! The annoying person is finally gone. How dare she bring someone else's child to the Feng family to claim a relationship! She's really bold!]
[Ruan Sisi is completely out of the picture this time. But why hasn't Xiaoyu been promoted to the new leading lady? What's going on?]
