Reborn as His Intellectually Disabled Wife

Chapter 787 - 788: Shi Mei is My Daughter

Following such a universally celebrated event, Shi Mei’s engagement ceremony with Shi Lingyan was scheduled to take place.

However, before the engagement, the honorary kinship ritual needed to be carried out first.

When this news reached the Tang Family, everyone was overjoyed, not just the elder Tangs, but Tang Huai Zhang and Jian Yun were also thrilled.

After about half a month of preparations, the Tang family members all traveled from far and wide to return.

Tang Wu saw that her grandparents had invited almost half of the clan’s masters, especially the influential elders from the older generation, each looking more solemn than the last.

Noticing this detail, Shi Mei choked up immediately.

Before everyone’s eyes, Tang Wu knelt on the ground and called out resoundingly, "Dad, Mom, Grandpa, Grandma."

The titles were simple, nothing unusual.

But as Shi Mei called out, all those addressed were teary-eyed.

She too had tears in her eyes, and after offering tea to the family elders, she collected red envelopes all around, then the banquet began.

To show his importance to the event, Tang Huai Zhang invited many relatives and friends, and under the chorus of congratulations, he was all smiles.

Jian Yun also invited many dancers with whom she had good relations; a small portion of them knew Shi Mei, all marveling at the wonder of fate.

In the midst of the lively congratulations, suddenly, a sharp voice came from the doorway, "Shi Mei, oh, my daughter!"

Such a voice stood out discordantly in the lively atmosphere.

Everyone turned to look towards the entrance.

Shi Mei’s former foster mother, Wang Quanxia, and her foster father, Shi Xuebai, had barged in.

Tang Huai Zhang naturally recognized them and his face turned sour upon seeing them, saying to his aide, "What’s happening, isn’t someone watching the door?"

The aide was also startled, "I’ll go check."

However, before he could investigate, he saw who was behind Wang Quanxia and Shi Xuebai.

Two rows of bodyguards entered, protecting an elderly man who looked to be in his sixties or seventies, vigorous in spirit.

"Dongfang Kuo?" Old Sir Tang recognized him at a glance, "What are you doing here?"

Years ago, Dongfang Kuo had also made his career in Xia Country.

Later, an opportunity took him to the United States, and since then, he had been unstoppable.

Although it had been years since they’d seen Dongfang Kuo, Old Sir Tang often saw him on international financial reports.

Dongfang Kuo did not immediately recognize who Old Sir Tang was but recognized Elder Mrs. Shen, "Hey, you are?"

Old Lady Shi had a decent relationship with Dongfang Kuo, and after introducing everyone, Old Lady Shi finally asked, "What are you doing here?"

As soon as Dongfang Kuo entered, his eyes fixed on Shi Mei, with tears welling up, he said excitedly, "I’m here for my daughter!"

Daughter?

Many people exchanged puzzled glances.

At Dongfang Kuo’s age, his daughter would surely be at least in her forties or fifties.

There were many in the room who fit the age, but they all came from families of clear heritage; who could possibly be Dongfang Kuo’s daughter?

Yet, why was Dongfang Kuo staring at Shi Mei?

Feeling inexplicably stared at, Shi Mei watched as Dongfang Kuo’s secretary stepped forward and said in Chinese, "This is the DNA test certificate of Mr. Dongfang and Miss Shi Mei. According to the test, you are indeed Mr. Dongfang’s long-lost daughter."

These words shocked everyone present, including Shi Mei herself.
