Chapter 50 - 50 Announcement
50 Announcement
Guo Miao looked at everyone’s eyes on her and didn’t say anything.
Cheng Yu hurriedly walked over from the stage and pulled Guo Miao along, introducing her to everyone in a daze as the daughter they had just found.
Guo Ming’s face was dark as he stood beside his son and daughter.
Guo Hu looked at Guo Lin’s tightly clenched hands and thought she was uncomfortable. “Lin, are you okay?”
Guo Lin ignored him and glared at Guo Miao with hatred.
Guo Miao also stared back at Guo Lin. She had just gone backstage to scrutinize her own dress, and it was as she had expected.
Half of the pearl and gems on the dress had been cut out by someone with malicious intent. If she wore that dress to the banquet, she was afraid that she wouldn’t even be able to walk from the door to the stage.
This brought back some memories that had been sealed for a long time. Before she was reborn into the Empire, Guo Lin had also treated her this way.
But this time, Guo Miao was no longer the country girl who could be easily controlled by Guo Lin.
Guo Lin was still trying hard to maintain her expression. “Guo Miao, you’re here. Didn’t Mom say to let you rest? Why are you out and about now?”
Guo Miao looked at Guo Lin with a cold expression.
Guo Lin gritted her teeth. “Since you’re here, you should enjoy the banquet as well. I have another program at the banquet later, so I’ll have to trouble you to take a look.”
Guo Ming looked at Guo Miao’s cold face and was a little angry. “Your mother and sister are talking to you. What are you doing?”
Guo Miao’s gaze swept past Guo Ming and landed on Guo Fu, who was eating with Xuxu.
Xuxu had never been to a banquet like this before. He was dazzled by the variety of dishes. Guo Miao walked over and pulled Xuxu and Guo Fu onto the stage.
Guo Ming wanted to rush over and stop him but didn’t manage to.
“Hello, everyone, I’m Guo Miao. This is my adoptive father, Guo Fu. This is my younger brother, Xuxu.”
The audience was in an uproar as they looked at Cheng Yu.
Cheng Yu recalled the words she had said when she went to pick Guo Miao up that day, asking her to find her adoptive father and so on, and her face instantly turned red.
Why did Guo Miao really go to find her adoptive father and even bring him to such an occasion?
At this point, the person who lost the most face in the audience should be Guo Ming.
At his own family’s banquet, he had originally wanted to acknowledge his child, but now it seemed like they were giving Guo Miao a chance to announce her adoptive father.
“Guo Miao is not bad. She knows how to be grateful. Very good.” At this moment, Zhong Heng spoke.
When the guests saw that the mayor was supporting Guo Miao, they also changed sides.
“Yeah, she didn’t forget about his adoptive father even after being found by the Guo family.”
“The Guos are really good at raising their daughter.”
Guo Ming quickly nodded in agreement with Zhong Heng’s words. “You’re too kind, Mayor Zhong. You flatter me.”
Although he agreed on the surface, he still scolded Guo Miao countless times in his heart. She was too noble and unquestionable. Where could she put the Guo family’s face?
“Miss Guo is a young woman with great potential. I hope the Guos can give this child more love and care,” Zhong Heng said to Guo Ming.
Zhong Heng also noticed that Guo Miao’s food and clothing did not resemble what a family like the Guo family should provide.
Guo Fu stood on the stage, receiving everyone’s attention. This nearly 40-year-old middle-aged man was a little embarrassed.
“Miaomiao, your biological parents will be unhappy if you do this.”
Guo Miao shook her head. “It’s alright, Dad. I know what to do.”
Guo Miao led Guo Fu and Xuxu off the stage and walked to Sheng Guang’s side after settling them down.
Sheng Guang was currently chatting with Tong Tong and Zhong Nian. When they saw Guo Miao walking over, they stopped talking.
“Guo Miao, you actually know Sheng Guang?” Zhong Nian said as he looked at Guo Miao.
Guo Miao nodded slightly. She had also thought of these people as being familiar with each other.
“Sheng Guang has been staying in the capital all this time. It’s not easy for him to come to Haicheng, and he even got to attend your banquet. Sister Guo Miao, you’re so respected!” Zhong Nian gave Guo Miao a thumbs-up.
Zhong Nian and Sheng Guang had a good relationship, but he barely come to Haicheng after the incident with Sheng Guang. Zhong Nian was also shocked that he was attending a banquet this time.
As they were chatting, Guo Lin walked up to the stage and cleared her throat into the microphone.
“Dear guests, the banquet is already halfway through. In order to make everyone happy, I have prepared a gift for everyone.”
Guo Miao also looked up at the stage and saw the provocative look in Guo Lin’s eyes.
