The emcee was a host from City B's television entertainment channel.
Behind him on the big screen appeared the artful photography of Lin Jinluan.
The photo was taken with great solemnity and depth, clearly depicting a heavyweight entrepreneur.
However, Gu Xinzhou couldn't help but recall the obsequious smile she had seen on Lin Jinluan's face before.
She knew there were people in this world who, despite their fine exteriors, harbored rotten, sinful souls and yet were unwilling to give up their reputations.
"Ladies and gentlemen, dear guests, the birthday celebration for Mr. Lin Jinluan is about to begin!
Let us welcome Mr. Lin Jinluan to the stage with a warm round of applause!"
Thunderous applause erupted.
The crowd converged together.
Gu Xinzhou stood among the crowd, listening to Lin Jinluan's speech.
After the speech.
The stage lights slowly expanded, reaching beyond the stage.
Naturally, beautiful lights illuminated below the stage.
The crowd gradually parted, and the lights enveloped the dance floor. Lin Jinluan descended from the stage and headed in a certain direction.
He elegantly bowed, extending an invitation to dance to his wife.
His wife, beaming with happiness, placed her hand in his and followed him step by step towards the dance floor.
Thunderous applause and cheers rose once again.
The birthday couple began their dance.
A spirited tango played, showcasing their vitality and unfading charm.
Gu Xinzhou was carefully observing everyone.
Song Zhen had mentioned that during today's birthday banquet, the Lin Family intended to announce the engagement of Lin Yuexi and Gu Xinfei unilaterally.
This was something Gu Xinzhou had not mentioned to Gu Yibo.
But she was ready to support her father at a moment's notice.
Even though her power was scant.
While she was lost in thought, the dance for the birthday couple came to an end.
Gu Xinfei and Zhuang Xiuya were visibly nervous!
The mother and daughter both stood at the very front, afraid of being overlooked by others.
According to the original plan, as soon as the dance finished, Lin Yuexi would personally ask Gu Xinfei to dance.
After dancing in front of everyone, Lin Jinluan would announce their love-based relationship and their engagement!
Moreover, they had already concluded that Gu Yibo would try to stop it in public!
At the moment when Gu Yibo caused a scene, they planned to counterattack fiercely while the elite circle was present,
They aimed to unite and use public opinion to prevent Gu Yibo from divorcing and to make Gu Xinzhou lose face and be unable to find a foothold in China ever again!
As the dance ended, the whole room applauded.
Zhuang Xiuya and Gu Xinfei were overwhelmed with excitement!
Just then, Lin Yuexi made his move!
Gu Xinfei's face was filled with a happy smile, feeling her life was more thrilling than ever before!
Meanwhile, Lin Yuexi looked around, as if searching for someone.
Gu Xinfei was just about to wave her hand in his direction when Zhuang Xiuya stopped her.
She whispered in Gu Xinfei's ear, "Be reserved."
Gu Xinfei took a deep breath.
She started to doubt whether she was truly developing feelings for Lin Yuexi.
Why was she so nervous?
They had also dressed with care for the occasion.
Zhuang Xiuya had previously opened a safe deposit box at the bank, filled with valuable items that were Gu Yibo's private treasures unbeknownst to him.
Under the splendor of the crystal chandelier, the mother and daughter duo naturally became the most reflective and luminous bodies.
It couldn't be helped.
How could those about to announce their engagement not be a little high-profile?
Gu Xinfei took deep breaths, looking forward expectantly to Lin Yuexi's invitation to dance.
She wanted to let everyone know that even if her younger sister had stolen Song Zhen from her, she too could marry at any time!
However, Lin Yuexi's gaze suddenly locked onto one area and he began to move towards that direction.
That...
Was not where Gu Xinfei was!
