Chapter 110

Chapter 110

Actor Fei's hands trembled slightly as he fastened Yi Tiantian's seatbelt.

Although, is it really appropriate to gossip in such a tender atmosphere...

Fei Cheng drove for about twenty minutes with Yi Tiantian before arriving at one of the Fei family's buildings.

When she truly saw the Fei family mansion, Yi Tiantian couldn't help but let out an involuntary sigh of admiration.

The world of the rich was even more splendid than she had imagined!

This building of the Fei family wasn't just a villa; it was an estate!

There were security guards at the gate of the estate, and if she hadn't known it was Actor Fei's home, Yi Tiantian might have thought it was a museum or something similar.

The car passed through the grand gate and then drove along a fragrant flower-lined path before reaching the main building of the estate.

It was a building in the style of a medieval castle, but its main color was a refined white.

"Tiantian, this is where the banquet will be held, my grandmother's estate."

Fei Cheng got out of the car first and opened the other side of the door for Yi Tiantian.

"Is this what the world of the rich looks like? Can't you guys live on your own planet? Otherwise, I'll feel so inferior!!"

Yi Tiantian was stunned by the magnificent estate as soon as she got out of the car. She tried to act normal, but her heart was gradually breaking.

Fei Cheng, hearing the adorable thoughts of the person beside him, also struggled to resist the urge to hold her tightly in his arms.

"Let's go inside."

"Okay."

Yi Tiantian took a deep breath.

"The gossips of the rich must be extra big!"

"One gossip is better than six! Here I come!"

Then, Yi Tiantian followed Fei Cheng into the dream-like castle, and almost every step they took was greeted by a bow from the Fei family's servants.

"I really want to bow back to them."

Yi Tiantian smiled at the servants' bows, feeling somewhat terrified in her heart.

Finally, after what felt like walking through nine layers of hell, Fei Cheng and Yi Tiantian arrived at the banquet hall.

The banquet hall was extremely luxurious, decorated with various expensive-looking artworks, and a famous contemporary painter's "Family Reunion" hung in the center.

The guests were all dressed in elegant evening gowns, most of them chatting and raising their glasses to each other, creating a lively atmosphere.

"Young Master Fei, you've arrived."

As soon as they walked in, the servants on both sides bowed and greeted Fei Cheng with trays in hand.

When the surrounding guests heard Fei Cheng's name, they turned to look at the entrance, and dozens, even hundreds of eyes focused on them.

Standing next to Fei Cheng, Yi Tiantian couldn't help but swallow hard.

"So many people."

"This is who Fei Cheng brought back? Didn't expect her to be quite good-looking."

"What's the use of being good-looking? She's still just a minor celebrity, can't compare to our prestigious families!"

"Oh, sister-in-law, don't say that, Grandma is here."

The voice of the woman called sister-in-law was very loud, and almost everyone present had heard her words.

Yi Tiantian naturally heard the sister-in-law's ridicule, but having been trolled online to the point of losing everything, she had developed a strong, steel-like heart, so those words didn't affect her at all.

Although Yi Tiantian didn't care, Fei Cheng frowned.

Just as he was about to say something, a distinguished elderly woman in traditional Chinese attire slowly approached them.

"Grandma, you're here."

Fei Cheng nodded slightly and greeted the old lady.

Fei Cheng had always been favored by his elders, and among the many grandchildren of the Fei family, he was the one Grandma Fei liked the most.

And Grandma Fei was the most respected elder in the Fei family, so when she appeared, everyone fell silent automatically.

Grandma Fei nodded slightly, her gaze falling on Yi Tiantian, who stood beside Fei Cheng.

Fei Cheng's lips curved into a polite smile as he introduced Yi Tiantian to Grandma Fei: "Grandma, this is the one I mentioned before, Yi Tiantian."

"Hello, Grandma. I'm Yi Tiantian, you can call me Tiantian."

Yi Tiantian mimicked Fei Cheng's manner and politely responded.

Grandma Fei nodded kindly, her eyes showing a hint of approval.

"Good, this child is very well-mannered and suits you well."

Fei Cheng smiled at his grandmother's words: "Grandma is right."

Yi Tiantian smiled shyly on the surface, but her inner thoughts revealed everything.

"Um? Match? Grandma Fei wouldn’t think that Actor Fei and I are a couple, would she?!"

"Heavens, if this gets out, Fu Chongye will be jealous..."

"No, no, I can't let this happen. I have to keep my distance from Actor Fei later, so no one misunderstands!"

Fei Cheng's smile instantly froze on his face.

But Grandma Fei didn't seem to react at all, as if she hadn't heard Yi Tiantian's thoughts. She slowly pulled out two red envelopes from her pocket.

"Here, these are the gifts I prepared for you."

Grandma Fei smiled kindly and handed the gold-embossed, floral-edged red envelope to Yi Tiantian.

Yi Tiantian looked at Fei Cheng, somewhat flustered, and said, "Grandma, thank you, but I can't accept this red envelope."

Grandma Fei seemed to have anticipated Yi Tiantian's response and pretended to scold her, "Do you think Grandma gave too little?"

Yi Tiantian was most afraid of elderly people speaking like this, so she forced a smile and took the red envelope with both hands, saying, "Thank you, Grandma."

"That's a good girl."

Grandma Fei smiled and patted Yi Tiantian's cheek.

"Enjoy yourself today at the banquet. Eat and play as you like. If there's anything you don't like, remember to tell Grandma."

Yi Tiantian smiled and nodded, "Okay, I understand, Grandma."

With Grandma Fei's help, Yi Tiantian's nervousness eased somewhat. She also noticed that the whispers around her gradually faded away, replaced by a mix of shock and surprise in people's eyes.

The Fei family, being a famous wealthy clan, had many members with ties to the entertainment industry, so those in the entertainment field were shocked to hear Yi Tiantian's thoughts.

As for those who couldn't hear her thoughts, they were simply amazed that Grandma Fei had personally recognized this granddaughter-in-law!

In any case, no one dared to look down on Yi Tiantian anymore!

Of course, there was one exception.

Her voice stood out sharply in the quiet crowd.

"In my opinion, these little stars just can't find their place. They always dream of marrying into a wealthy family and climbing the social ladder. They should take a good look at themselves and see what they're really made of!"

The speaker was still the woman in the crowd known as "Sister-in-law."

Since "Sister-in-law's" voice wasn't low, many people around her heard her words.

Everyone pretended to lower their heads to taste the wine in their cups, but their peripheral vision kept darting towards Yi Tiantian.

Grandma Fei also heard this and was quite upset, her brows furrowed tightly.

But at that moment, Yi Tiantian's thoughts appeared.

"Why is this person constantly insulting me? Let me see what's going on!"

"Oh, it turns out this Sister-in-law's husband cheated on her with a young star, which is why she hates all stars in the entertainment industry! But did she forget that she herself was once the third party in someone else's relationship? A man who cheats once can cheat again!"

Yi Tiantian shook her head, not wanting to argue with such a person.

After hearing Yi Tiantian's thoughts, everyone at the scene immediately understood who she was talking about.

The woman who spoke earlier was one of Fei Cheng's aunts, a former famous adult film actress who, through a series of events, met Uncle Fei. Despite knowing he was already married, she seduced him relentlessly and eventually succeeded in becoming his wife.

"Ah, after they got married, they never had children. This aunt always claimed it was due to her poor health, but in reality, it was to save her husband's face because Uncle Fei had azoospermia!"

"So they adopted a little girl, but what they didn't know was that this seemingly six-year-old girl was actually twenty-two years old!"

Yi Tiantian's eyes lit up as she realized the main character of this big drama was right in front of her!

Fei Cheng, standing beside Yi Tiantian, also turned to look at the adult film actress aunt.

He hadn't expected so many surprising twists and turns right under his nose.

The other guests couldn't hide their shock and secretly glanced at the adult film actress aunt.

Some even started gossiping excitedly.

"Who knew Zhou Fang's husband was Fei Shuqing... Ah!"

"Tsk tsk tsk, yet she still goes around building a good image for Fei Shuqing. She really loves men..."

"Yes, and how vain! But isn't their adopted daughter only six years old this year?"

"I saw her last time; she's quite short, definitely six years old."

Upon hearing Yi Tiantian's thoughts and the surrounding gossip, Zhou Fang was both shocked and embarrassed. At that moment, she wished she could find a crack in the ground to disappear into.

But there was no such crack, so Zhou Fang had to gather her courage and seize on a flaw in Yi Tiantian's thoughts to counterattack.

"Oh, our Little Meihao will start primary school next year. My husband and I plan to send her to the most prestigious academy nearby. The annual tuition is several million, and we've already paid in advance."

"What a pity, but those several million will go to waste because today at the banquet, you'll discover that your adopted daughter, Little Meihao, has been seducing your husband, Fei Shuqing, and she succeeded!"

"Zhou Fang thought that stopping Fei Shuqing's affair with the young star would control her husband, but once a man cheats, he will do it again. He's a despicable man who won't even spare his own adopted daughter!"

Yi Tiantian was already looking forward to how the story would unfold.

Everyone around her audibly gasped.

Yi Tiantian's thoughts were getting more and more outrageous!

Though everything about Fei Shuqing is true, how could a six-year-old girl possibly seduce her adoptive father?

Even the author of a story can't make up something as wild as this!

Although Zhou Fang's expression was quite awkward, she still scoffed at Yi Tiantian's thoughts.

This is simply impossible!

While her husband did cheat before, he has now promised to return to the family. They have even adopted a daughter together; there's no way he would do such a monstrous thing!

Just as everyone was discussing, the voice of the Fei family servant sounded at the door.

"Mr. Fei, welcome."

Standing at the door was a man in a long black overcoat. Though he was middle-aged, his attire was particularly fashionable.

In his hand, he held a little girl with braided pigtails. The little girl had a sweet smile on her face, with large eyes that made her very endearing.

Yi Tiantian also looked over and found that the two people who appeared were indeed the two main characters in the gossip—Fei Shuqing and Little Meihao!

"What a beautiful father-daughter pair, no wonder they adopted this little girl; she's so pretty!"

"Yeah, that little girl looks exactly six years old, tsk tsk."

"Well, just enjoy the show, don't take it too seriously."

As soon as they appeared, the guests started talking, all agreeing that Yi Tiantian's thoughts couldn't be entirely trusted, as the little girl clearly looked six years old, not the twenty-two years old as he claimed!

Seeing her husband and child finally arrive, Zhou Fang hurriedly walked up to them.

"You two are finally here! I've been waiting for you for so long!"

Zhou Fang's voice was still loud, and her gaze fell on Yi Tiantian, as if showing off their perfect family to everyone.

"Little Meihao, come with me and greet Grandma Fei."

So, under everyone's watchful eyes, Zhou Fang led Little Meihao to Grandma Fei's side.

"Come on, call Grandma."

"Grandma, hello. I'm Little Meihao, I'm six years old."

Little Meihao's mouth was very sweet, and she was unusually well-behaved for her age, greeting the elderly woman with a sweet smile.

But Grandma Fei only nodded slightly, then looked around.

She reached out to take the silver fork beside her and lightly tapped the wine glass in her hand, announcing to everyone, "Now that everyone is here, I'll go up and give my usual speech."

After saying this, Grandma Fei walked to the front stage, leaving Zhou Fang and Little Meihao standing there in shock.

Zhou Fang's expression crumbled the moment she saw Grandma Fei turn away. The excitement and joy in her eyes withered, turning into a mess, and she squeezed Little Meihao's hand a bit tighter, leaving red marks on the little girl's tender palm.

Noticing her adoptive mother's displeasure, Little Meihao, being very understanding, didn't struggle but instead looked up at Zhou Fang.

"Mom, let's find a seat first!"

Hearing Little Meihao's words, Zhou Fang glanced down at her. A strange feeling seemed to stir in her heart.

This Little Meihao seemed more mature than she, an adult, and really didn't seem like a mere six-year-old...

At this moment, Zhou Fang couldn't focus on what Grandma Fei was saying on stage. She shook her head forcefully.

Don't let that actress's words cloud your mind!

Little Meihao's records from the orphanage are complete, and they clearly state that she is only six years old!

There's no way it could be wrong!

Seeming to have made up her mind, Zhou Fang prepared to lead Little Meihao to find a seat.

Just then, Fei Shuqing also walked over, frowning and looking displeased.

Grandma Fei never liked him much, and now Zhou Fang was making things worse by drawing attention.

"Look at you, you've made the child's hand red!"

Fei Shuqing tried to keep his voice low, but the anger in it was still audible to those nearby.

With that, Fei Shuqing forcibly pulled Zhou Fang's hand away and took Little Meihao himself.

"Little Meihao, did your hand hurt? Dad will take you to your seat to eat."

As he spoke, a servant approached, "Mr. Fei, please keep quiet, the old lady is speaking."

Fei Shuqing glanced at the elderly woman on the stage, seeing that she was indeed staring at them with a disapproving look.

The guests also followed the old lady's gaze, and Fei Shuqing, embarrassed, quickly led Little Meihao to find a seat.

Zhou Fang followed behind them, slinking away from the spot.

"... Now begins our annual family dinner. Please enjoy yourselves."

Grandma Fei raised her glass and drank it in one go, boldly.

"Cheers!"

The numerous members of the Fei family below also raised their glasses to Grandma Fei, all raising their glasses in celebration.

Fei Shuqing's family also pretended to toast, but in their hearts, they were full of resentment towards Grandma Fei.

"How hasn't this old woman died yet?"

Fei Shuqing and Zhou Fang both muttered under their breaths.

"The last time we brought Little Meihao to see her, she wasn't so cold. Today, it's like she's taken the wrong medicine and completely ignored us!"

Zhou Fang whispered her complaints into Fei Shuqing's ear.

Fei Shuqing's eyes flashed with a hint of defiance.

"Hmph, this dead old woman!"

Little Meihao blinked her doll-like eyes, her long lashes brushing against her cheeks as she carefully observed the behavior of her adoptive parents.

No one noticed the sudden glint of excitement in her eyes.

The banquet officially began. Although many people wanted to approach Fei Cheng for a chat, he politely dismissed them all with a smile.

Worried that Yi Tiantian might not get enough to eat alone at the banquet, Fei Cheng stayed by his side, occasionally introducing him to various relatives who came to greet them.

Fortunately, with Fei Cheng by his side, Yi Tiantian felt he wouldn't be overwhelmed by so many relatives.

It seemed these people didn't need to eat at all; they spent the entire time mingling and chatting at the banquet.

Under Actor Fei's protection, Yi Tiantian finally had his fill.

It must be said, the grand banquets of the Fei family were truly exceptional, with each dish being exceptionally delicious.

Seeing that the little one in front of him was finally full, Fei Cheng finally relaxed.

"Tiantian, would you like to take a walk with me?"

Yi Tiantian only reacted after hearing Fei Cheng's words.

Earlier, Actor Fei had stayed by his side the whole time to take care of him, but such grand family banquets were not just for dining; they were also occasions for business talks and socializing!

He must have held up Actor Fei's socializing!

So Yi Tiantian quickly said, "Ah, Actor Fei, you go ahead. I'll use the restroom."

Fei Cheng nodded. "Then I'll have someone take you to the restroom."

Before Yi Tiantian could say no, Fei Cheng had already called over a servant from a distance and instructed him to take Yi Tiantian to the bathroom.

After using the restroom, Yi Tiantian found the servant still waiting for him at the door.

"Truly, the rich are different."

So Yi Tiantian was led back to the banquet hall by the servant.

He searched the crowd for Fei Cheng's figure but accidentally caught sight of Zhou Fang and the Fei Shuqing family.

The two adults still looked extremely dissatisfied, as if someone owed them millions.

But Yi Tiantian noticed that Little Meihao, sitting beside them, looked very happy, as if she was looking forward to something.

"This isn't the first time Little Meihao has done this. In her previous family, she deceived her adoptive parents with her innocent appearance, making them believe she was only six years old!"

"But this child, believed to be six, actually seduced her adoptive father! However, her adoptive parents ultimately just sent her back to the orphanage without further punishment."

"If the previous adoptive parents had taken Little Meihao to the hospital for a check-up, they would have discovered that she was actually an adult with antisocial personality traits!"

Yi Tiantian felt an intense satisfaction after finishing his meal and hearing this gossip.

The guests, once again hearing the explosive content, all turned their gazes toward the family of three.

Fei Shuqing, not being involved in the entertainment industry, had no idea what was happening and why the surrounding relatives suddenly looked their way.

Could it be... Little Meihao is too cute?

Fei Shuqing thought about it and concluded that this was the only possibility, so he patted Little Meihao's cheek.

"Good girl, Little Meihao, look, everyone is watching you! It must be because our Little Meihao is so cute!"

Zhou Fang, seeing her husband's affectionate interaction with Little Meihao, desperately wanted to tell Fei Shuqing what she had heard.

But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't utter a single word!

Zhou Fang could only fume under the strange looks from those around her.

Finally, she couldn't hold back any longer, slammed her hand on the table, stood up, and walked straight toward Yi Tiantian.

"I'm telling you, this isn't a place for your kind of small-time celebrity. Get out!"

Zhou Fang pointed to the door, her face pale with anger, and shouted at Yi Tiantian.

Yi Tiantian was startled by the woman who suddenly exploded like a landmine in front of him.

Grandma Fei, who happened to be nearby, didn't move a step but sternly rebuked Zhou Fang.

"Zhou Fang! Since when did you become the one in charge of this family?!"

The relatives secretly widened their eyes.

"Zhou Fang really doesn't know her place. Just now, Grandma Fei personally gave a red envelope to her grandson's wife, and she dares to stand up and chase someone away!"

"Besides, Yi Tiantian is quite famous in the entertainment industry now. Even someone like me, who doesn't follow it closely, knows about her. She's not a small-time celebrity anymore."

"No matter what, she's someone Fei Cheng brought back. Zhou Fang must have lost her mind!"

Hearing the relatives' murmurs around him, Fei Shuqing could no longer keep his composure. In two strides, he stepped forward and pulled Zhou Fang by the arm.

"Zhou Fang! This is the Fei family's banquet; you need to behave yourself!"

Zhou Fang widened her eyes as she looked at Fei Shuqing, who was gripping her arm. Perhaps out of sheer anger, she actually defied him.

"You don't understand anything, yet you're trying to stop me!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhou Fang saw a slap flying toward her face.
