Chapter 167: Chapter 166: She is my female companion!_1

Qi Yunyang was even more confused when he heard his brother speak like this.

"The only one in control of the Hao Lian family now is Hao Lian Yong, isn’t your attendance at the banquet just giving him face?"

"Who said that the only heir of the Hao Lian family was Hao Lian Yong?"

Qi Yunyang was bewildered!

"Brother, can you say everything at once? I can’t wrap my head around this!"

Qi Yunjue glanced at him and said breathlessly, "Yan Ling is Aunt Yu’s daughter, and the true heir of the Hao Lian family!"

Qi Yunyang: ...

What a peculiar twist of fate?

His sister-in-law was actually his sister-in-law nearly twenty years ago!

No wonder his brother seemed so calm after his sister-in-law proposed a divorce.

It turns out, he knew there was a marriage contract arranged by their elders between them!

Realizing this, Qi Yunyang couldn’t help but say, "Well... Brother, when our mother and Aunt Yu arranged the marriage, they only specified that if Aunt Yu’s child was a girl, they would arrange a marriage. But there are two sons in our family..."

In other words, he was suggesting, don’t be so pleased with yourself too soon!

This marriage contract might be up for grabs!

If you want me to give up this marriage, you have to offer something in return.

Qi Yunjue casually glanced at the triumphant Qi Yunyang and then coldly said, "She’s not into you!"

Qi Yunyang: ...

True to his reputation as a heartless man, he never gives anyone a chance to outmaneuver him.

At this moment, he really wanted to write a book called My Ruthless Big Brother!

...

The usually quiet Hao Lian family mansion was unusually lively that day.

Despite the decreasing influence of the Hao Lian family in the capital after the family’s Lady and Lady Hao Lian cut ties, the diminished family was still a humpbacked camel, larger than any horse. Even though they couldn’t replicate their past glory of being one of the four big families, the Hao Lian family, with its centuries of legacy, was still a target of flattery for many uprisings in the capital.

Furthermore, Hao Lian Yong’s wife, An Qiuyue, was the second Miss of the An family and her niece was a top-ranking female star in the entertainment industry. The banquet was teeming with visitors offering birthday wishes!

Hao Lian Yong and An Qiuyue stood at the entrance, greeting the guests with bogus warmth and attentiveness.

To any outsider, they seemed like the biological son and daughter-in-law of Lady Hao Lian!

Yan Ling glanced at the Hao Lian Yong couple welcoming the guests at the entrance, a cold light lingering in her eyes.

If not for any other choice, she really did not want to see these two deceitful faces.

Yan Ling cast her eyes downward, avoiding the sight of Hao Lian Yong’s couple, and made her way into the mansion, but her step was intercepted.

"Miss, can I see your invitation, please?"

Invitation?

She even forgot her grandmother’s birthday, how could she have an invitation?

Yan Ling hesitated, knowing that if she disclosed her identity, she would never be allowed in the Hao Lian mansion.

But without an invitation, the guard was not going to let her in.

The staff at the Hao Lian house was quite polite—they saw her silence and offered her not to worry if she had forgotten her invitation. A person could be sent to bring it, or they could confirm it with the host.

Perhaps Yan Ling spoke a bit too loud with the person responsible for the banquet registration list, drawing the attention of Hao Lian Yong, who was escorting a few distinguished guests inside the mansion. Their gazes landed on Yan Ling’s remarkably beautiful face and he was taken aback.

This face, why does it look so much like that woman’s?

No... It couldn’t be her!

Hao Lianyu is dead!

And even if she were alive, she couldn’t possibly look this young.

As for her daughter, she supposedly died on the operating table five years ago and couldn’t possibly be here.

Perhaps, it was just someone who looked similar.

However, on such an important day like today, he wouldn’t like to see a face that resembled Hao Lianyu.

This woman also didn’t have an invitation. It seemed fitting to have her removed.

Just as Hao Lian Yong was about to order her removal, a young man’s voice beat him to it, "I apologize, I was held up by a matter, she’s my female companion!"
