Liu Yuerong touched her ear, suspecting that she had misheard.
“What did Elder Theodore Shelby say? Zhu Mingjing is his daughter? What a joke!”
Liu Yuerong’s words echoed the thoughts of everyone present.
If it were said that she was Shen Zhou’s daughter, people would believe it, but Elder Theodore Shelby’s daughter, that would be too exaggerated.
Their ages are more like that of grandfather and granddaughter.
Looking at Zhu Wentao and Lin Qing, then at Shen Zhou and Elder Theodore Shelby, this relationship is really complicated and confusing.
Was it Lin Qing who cuckolded Zhu Wentao, or was Elder Theodore Shelby the old clam giving birth to a pearl? This real daughter who just returned, whose real daughter is she after all?
Everyone was puzzled. freēwēbnovel.com
Lin Qing exclaimed in shock, “How is this possible…?”
For a moment, all the memories after Mingjing’s return to the Zhus came to mind; no wonder she always felt something was off, and she couldn’t get close to Mingjing. It turned out that Mingjing was not her biological daughter at all.
So where is her real daughter?
In the blink of an eye, various thoughts emerged in everyone’s minds. However, before they could think further, Elder Theodore Shelby’s next words dispelled their doubts.
“A few months ago, I had a sudden cerebral hemorrhage while on the subway and almost went to the afterlife. Mingjing saved me; she is my savior. This is a fate destined by Heaven. Mingjing is a kind and clever child. So, I decided to recognize her as my god-daughter. I’m not afraid of being laughed at for being old enough to be her grandfather. I don’t care what you all say, a granddaughter is not as dear as a daughter. From now on, Mingjing is a part of the Shen family, my own daughter, Shen Zhou’s biological sister. Today is a day of family reunion, and I, Shen Hanguang, finally have a daughter. I am so happy, haha…”
Elder Theodore Shelby’s hearty laughter echoed throughout Yueduo Garden, and just at that moment, the gong rang loudly on stage, signaling the start of the show.
Everyone was brought back to their senses by the sound of the gong, and took a deep breath.
It turns out she was Elder Theodore Shelby’s god-daughter. What a frightening way to phrase it.
Such a big celebration just for recognizing a god-daughter, it seems that the Shen father and son really valued Zhu Mingjing.
Everyone’s gaze at Lin Qing and Zhu Wentao changed from mockery to envy. Originally, the Zhu family was far behind the Shens, but now they have become relatives.
Zhu Wentao frowned, “God-daughter?”
Lin Qing sighed with relief and gently touched her chest. Elder Theodore Shelby, at his age, was still competing with her for a daughter, and he didn’t even give any notice beforehand.
Zhu Shaodan and Zhu Xiangxiang looked at each other in confusion.
“What’s going on? How did it become a god-daughter?” Zhu Shaodan was bewildered.
Is Zhu Mingjing really that sought after?
Zhu Xiangxiang muttered, “How could this be?”
“God-daughter?” Mao Nana’s mind was still not quite grasping the concept, “Your god-daughter? Shen Zhou’s god-sister?”
Shen Zhou came over and said, “Ms. Mao, tonight is my father’s acknowledgment banquet. Don’t go too far.”
Mao Nana’s eyes suddenly lit up, and she urgently asked, “Zhu Mingjing is your father’s god-daughter, which makes her your god-sister. You won’t fall in love with her, will you?”
Shen Zhou’s brows suddenly turned cold, as if it were the coldest days of winter, making Mao Nana shiver involuntarily.
“Ms. Mao, are you insulting me or my father?”
Mao Nana suddenly laughed, “I misunderstood you. I apologize, alright? Since she’s your sister, she’s also my sister as Mao Nana.”
Mao Nana immediately went to Mingjing’s side, warmly holding her hand, “Mingjing, right? You’re so pretty, just like someone who walked out of a painting. It’s our blessing to have such a beautiful sister like you.”
Mao Nana’s familiarity made others think she and Shen Zhou were family too.
Mingjing smiled and quietly withdrew her hand, “Thank you for your compliments, Ms. Mao. I don’t deserve such praise.”
Upon close inspection, this young girl was even more stunning, standing amid the dimly lit scene, and appeared even more ethereal and unworldly.
Elder Theodore Shelby’s grand event must not be for just any god-daughter, but luckily she became Shen Zhou’s god-sister. Otherwise, for such a peerless beauty, she wouldn’t have the confidence to compete.
Mao Nana let go of her guard, finding Mingjing more and more pleasing to the eye.
Meanwhile, Elder Theodore Shelby and Shen Zhou, accompanied by Mingjing, went on to toast the guests at each table.
Of course, the first table they visited was Shen Changjian’s. Others saw the usually high-and-mighty Madam Shen warmly holding Mingjing’s hand, looking just like a real mother and daughter, and this scene astonished everyone.
