Fu Xiaotang glanced at Fang Junjie, who quickly reassured her, “Just kidding, just kidding.” He patted her hand reassuringly, then reached for two shrimps with tomato sauce, placing them in her bowl, whispering, “These are good, you like them!” Then, with a grin, he looked at Song Li and said, “That day, Xiaotang went to your place with bags full of stuff but ended up eating nothing, just got angry, caught a cold, and had a headache. She only felt better after resting at Cheng Yu’s place, and I brought her back.”
At this, Song Li fell silent, and Cheng Yu also closed his mouth. Fang Junjie then looked at Liu Yi and said to Zhang Rong, “Brother Ten, you really kept this a secret well. You’ve recognized such a good daughter, how come there was no hint of it before?”
Zhang Rong smiled, “It’s only a recent matter, but Yi Yi and I, we have a deep connection.” Saying this, he stood up and raised his glass to everyone. From his youth to now, having weathered countless storms, when he stood to speak, his innate leadership presence had everyone listening intently.
He said, “I, Zhang Rong, owe my current standing to everyone’s support, but there’s one person I should thank the most. For her, I founded Fang Rong Group with just one word from her, but by the time I could offer her everything, she was no longer in this world. Even if I gave everything, I could never bring her back. However, thankfully, fate has been kind. Not long ago, I found the only blood relative left by my old friend. She is Miss Liu Yi from Hengqing Real Estate. Today, I, Zhang Rong, officially recognize Liu Yi as my goddaughter. From now on, Liu Yi’s matters are my matters, and Hengqing Real Estate’s matters are Fang Rong Group’s matters. I ask all my good friends here to bear witness.” After a pause, with a half-smile, he added, “If anyone thinks of troubling Liu Yi in the future, they should first ask if I agree.”
