Lin Yuqing never expected Lin Beichuan to speak so impertinently and even involve himself.
Watching the scene in front of her, Wu Fang was quite pleased. She didn't care who Lin Beichuan beat to death. As long as Lin Beichuan could rightfully become a member of the Ji family, her chances of success would increase.
"Sounds quite absurd, doesn't it? But that's the truth. Moreover, Mrs. Ji accidentally found out about this, and soon after, she fell ill and passed away. Originally, Mrs. Ji was just a bit weak, but why did her health decline so rapidly later? It's all thanks to my dear mother." Paying no heed to the reactions of the people on the scene, every word from Lin Beichuan was like a bombshell today.
The crowd felt they hadn't even digested one piece of news when the next one came right after.
This couldn't simply be described as a philanderer; it was simply a scumbag.
"Stop talking!" Hearing this, Lin Yuqing got anxious and tried to stop Lin Beichuan, but obviously, Lin Beichuan wouldn't listen to her.
The look in Lin Beichuan's eyes when he looked at Lin Yuqing was very strange. Lin Yuqing suddenly realized that she didn't know her son well at all.
No matter when, Lin Beichuan had always been very obedient to her. Whatever she asked Lin Beichuan to do, he would do it without any rebellion. As a result, she had never really thought about what was going on in Lin Beichuan's heart.
Even though Ji Beichuan on the stage already knew the truth, hearing it from Lin Beichuan's mouth still made his mood very complicated.
Shen Nanyi on the stage didn't know how to comfort Ji Beichuan. She knew the affairs of the Ji family were complicated, but she never expected it to be like this.
"I've said all I need to say. Here, I want to tell everyone that I have my own name. I'm an independent individual. I'm not Ji Beichuan, nor a substitute for him." After dropping one bombshell after another and leaving the people on the scene stunned, Lin Beichuan patted the non - existent dust on his body and was about to turn around and leave.
At this moment, Lin Beichuan felt relieved. Because he had finally stepped out of Ji Beichuan's shadow.
"Why?" Lin Yuqing came to her senses and shouted heart - rendingly. She couldn't understand why everything had happened so suddenly. Her own son actually exposed her dirty laundry in front of so many people.
This was simply leaving her with no way out. Not to mention whether she could rightfully marry into the Ji family in the future, it was even uncertain whether she could still move around in the upper - class circle.
Moreover, doing this was of no benefit to Lin Beichuan either.
Lin Beichuan stopped in his tracks, turned to look at Lin Yuqing, his eyes full of disappointment. Even now, Lin Yuqing still didn't know what she had done wrong.
"I only appeared in everyone's sight after I turned fifteen. Before that, I didn't look like this. I've had dozens of surgeries, big and small, and lost my original appearance. It was you who made me forget what I originally looked like. Every time I lay on that cold operating table, did you ever think about how I felt? In your heart, I'm just a substitute for Ji Beichuan. But you forgot, I'm not him. I have my own thoughts." After saying these words that he had held back for many years, Lin Beichuan felt liberated.
A stack of photos landed in front of Lin Yuqing. All of them showed Lin Beichuan on the operating table and the comparison of his appearance before and after plastic surgery.
Apart from Lin Yuqing, even Ji Jiale didn't know that the truth was like this. Looking at the pile of photos on the ground, Ji Jiale suddenly burst out laughing.
Laughing and laughing, Ji Jiale suddenly pounced on Lin Yuqing and started to fight with her. He had been deceived by Lin Yuqing for so many years.
If it weren't for Lin Beichuan's face that was exactly the same as Ji Beichuan's, which made him feel guilty every time he saw it, he wouldn't have offended Ji Beichuan countless times for Lin Beichuan.
If he had a good relationship with Ji Beichuan, he wouldn't have ended up in this situation. It was all because of Lin Yuqing.
Before the people on the scene could react, Lin Yuqing and Ji Jiale were already wrestling with each other, not caring about their own images at all.
The security guards quickly came over and dragged the two who were fighting out, not caring about their identities at all.
After today's incident, it would be impossible for the two of them to continue moving around in the upper - class circle.
Finally, the farce came to an end. The guests on the scene were still a bit dazed. Looking at Ji Beichuan on the stage and then at Shen Nanyi, they felt that they had really come to the right place.
Wu Fang stood there, looking at Ji Beichuan under the lights. A calculating look flashed in her eyes. Finally, when no one was paying attention, she left quietly.
The people who should leave had left, and Shen Qingshan's birthday banquet officially began.
After the banquet started, Ji Beichuan announced another bombshell. He transferred all his shares in the Ji Group to Shen Nanyi's name. This was something that had been mentioned before, but then Ji Beichuan casually revealed the amount of shares in his hand, which almost made the cups in the hands of the people on the scene fall to the ground.
Based on the equity in Ji Beichuan's hand, he held the controlling stake in the Ji Group. That meant that now Shen Nanyi not only had the Shen Group but also the Ji Group. This eighteen - year - old girl was now in control of two giants in the country.
It could be said that Shen Nanyi was now at the top of the business pyramid. Even if the influence of all the people on the scene was combined, it might not be as heavy as Shen Nanyi's.
More importantly, Shen Nanyi was only eighteen years old. No one could even imagine how far she would go in the future.
Standing under the spotlight, facing everyone's gazes, Shen Nanyi showed no sign of panic. She just stood there quietly, exuding an air of grace and composure.
"The system mission is activated. Please successfully spend 20 million within ten minutes. The range requirement is five meters, and you must obtain the final physical object." As if knowing Shen Nanyi's current situation, the system's voice suddenly sounded, finally making a slight crack appear on Shen Nanyi's face.
It had to be said that the system really knew how to pick the right time to issue tasks. Every time, the task came when she was most relaxed, and the difficulty of each task was very high.
After years of being "beaten" by the system, Shen Nanyi had become much calmer when facing tasks. Calculating the time and amount, and looking at the surrounding environment, Shen Nanyi was already thinking about how to spend the money.
Within a five - meter radius were all the people attending the party, and she couldn't leave the banquet hall. Physical object consumption meant she couldn't shop online. So how could she spend this sum of money as quickly as possible?
Ji Beichuan was standing right next to Shen Nanyi. The moment Shen Nanyi received the task, Ji Beichuan felt the tension in her body. Although he didn't know what had happened, he could sense that Shen Nanyi was in a very tense state.
In the banquet hall, people were clinking glasses and chatting, but Shen Nanyi's mind was not on this. She was solely focused on how to spend this money.
