Chapter 777: Grand Entrance

“Tell your father that the two in-laws have to sit down for a drink today.”

Zhong Nuannuan looked at Old Master Chi and said, “Grandpa, you should drink less.”

Zhong Nuannuan’s words stirred up another string of yells from the other side of the phone again.

After hanging up the phone, Chi Yang looked at Zhong Nuannuan. He was driving with one hand and holding onto Nuannuan’s hand with the other. His usually austere expression melted quite a bit.

“Nuannuan, are you very close with your daddy?”

Zhong Nuannuan nodded and said, “Yes, Daddy is an open-minded, kind, and responsible parent. We are father and daughter, friends, and business partners.”

Hearing that Nuannuan had such a good father who managed to lift her from her pitiful childhood and filling it with joy, Chi Yang squeezed Nuannuan’s hand in relief.

What saddened him the most was his precious little girl’s tragic childhood.

At two-and-a-half years old, she gave away her bone marrow, and her family sold her when she was three…

Seeing how cute Nuannuan was, Chi Yang could not understand how would anyone bear to hurt even a single hair on her. Hence, he could not understand why Zhong Kuijun, as Nuannuan’s biological father, could be so cruel.

Thankfully, his little girl was a lucky person. Although she was kidnapped and sold by human traffickers, she managed to get sold overseas and adopted by a good human being like Duke Eton.

This comforted him a lot.

A few days ago, Chi Yang sent someone to investigate Duke Eton.

His wife and two daughters were killed, but he never remarried. Instead, he adopted two daughters. Their names were indeed Selina and Sunny. Then, he investigated the pictures of the two girls when they were young secretly too. They were truly Selena and Nuannuan.

Previously, he was convinced that something was wrong. He felt that there should be more to Nuannuan’s identity than meets the eye.

However, after finding out about all these, his heart that had always ached for Nuannuan finally returned to good health.

Eton had already requested the Foreign Affairs Office’s officials to drive as fast as possible, but it still took them 45 minutes to get from the airport to the city center.

Thus, when Eton and his team arrived at Lijing Mansion to meet up with Nuannuan, it was already a quarter past eleven in the morning.

Since Leng Jinpeng and the other leaders from the military base arrived at half-past ten in the morning, everyone thought that the auction would start early.

Nobody expected that not only was the auction not pushed forward, but the auction had yet to start even after eleven. After asking around, they found out that the important guest of the fundraiser, the girl who received the necklace, Moonlight, was late.

Even though the vice president of Tianheng Holdings purchased the necklace from an auction in Hong Kong, he had given it to the girl not too long ago. The girl was said to be the wife of a military officer. Therefore, she announced that she was going to auction the necklace and donate the proceeds to the military base.

The owner of the necklace was indeed very crucial to the event. Yet, they decided that Zhong Nuannuan was nobody special. She was the daughter of a board member of Cloud Group who was surrounded by the rumor that its chairman was just arrested a few days ago, leaving Cloud Group the risk of bankruptcy. Therefore, all the unflattering rumors stirred up some disdain toward Nuannuan. Their wait was now full of immense irritation.

Finally, after twenty minutes, the door to the back flung open.

Since the guests were already in place, anyone who entered the venue right now would definitely become the center of attention.

However, when they saw a statuesque man with a looming presence escorting a woman of otherworldly beauty in a trench coat into the venue, nobody was spared of a surprised gasp.
