Chapter 1709: Chapter 1709: Fake School Hunk vs. Real School Belle (Part 64)

One year later.

Mo Family.

Tonight, the Mo Family’s house is brightly lit.

Mo Zhongliang’s face is full of smiles, both the Old Madam and Old Master Mo have returned. Although they have gray hair, they look radiant and energetic.

Outside the Mo family’s villa, luxury cars continue to park, elegantly dressed men and women enter one after another with smiles on their faces.

Mo Zhongliang personally welcomes the guests at the main entrance.

And those guests, upon seeing the Mo family’s grand setup and Mo Zhongliang’s demeanor, feel that they have made the right choice to come.

Looking at the host, it’s evident that Chairman Mo greatly values his eldest son.

Indeed, in the eyes of outsiders, today is the birthday banquet of the eldest son of Mo Corporation, Mo Beiye.

This eldest son of the Mo Family has always been very low-key, rarely seen by outsiders.

Usually, many families choose to let their children see the world and develop their social circles around this age.

The Mo family’s eldest son is already eighteen, and the Mo family’s actions are considered late.

Some guests secretly speculate whether the Mo family’s grand gesture is to finally formally introduce their heir.

p.m.

The expected guests have all arrived.

Mo Zhongliang also enters the villa.

At this time, the protagonist of the banquet, Mo Beiye, has not yet appeared. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚

The guests are somewhat puzzled.

This is no mystery; by this time, the main character should have already emerged.

Mo Zhongliang speaks.

He retracts his smile, his expression turning very serious.

"Thank you all for gracing my son’s birthday banquet. I know, everyone thinks today is the eighteenth coming-of-age ceremony for my eldest son, Mo Beiye, but I must apologize here; it is not."

With this statement, the lavishly decorated hall instantly buzzes with discussions.

What does the Mo Family mean?

Isn’t this an heir’s birthday party?

Those who enjoy speculation have already started weaving conspiracy theories upon hearing Mo Zhongliang—since Mo Zhongliang divorced his wife over a year ago and now says such words, could he possibly have an illegitimate child outside and is using the eldest son’s birthday banquet as a cover to legitimize the child?

Mo Zhongliang had anticipated such reactions. The place he is at today has been specially equipped to clearly convey his voice to every corner of the hall.

"Would you all care to hear a story from me?"

Mo Zhongliang earnestly shares the story he had discussed with his family earlier.

In essence, when his pair of twins were born, they fell ill shortly after. Eventually, his eldest son Mo Beiye did not make it, and his daughter Mo Beiyan was barely holding on.

Just when he was about to give up, someone introduced him to a master.

The master said the girl’s life pattern was too strong and she couldn’t be raised as she was unless she was raised as a boy, hidden from those who were unaware. Her fate would naturally change after reaching eighteen years old.

Mo Zhongliang spoke sincerely, almost believing it himself.

He concluded, "So, all these years, people have thought I had a son named Mo Beiye. But today, this birthday banquet is actually for my eighteen-year-old daughter, Mo Beiyan."

He suddenly raised his voice toward the spiral staircase and said, "Beiyan, come down."

The guests, still reeling from the recent revelation, instinctively look towards the staircase following Mo Zhongliang’s words.
