Chapter 122 announces, "Yes, my daughter is Ye Hantao."...
Zhou Yi's heart pounded wildly.
Their family's wish, which they've prayed for for over a decade, might, possibly, perhaps...
It's done?!
Seeing that her uncle seemed out of sorts, Ye Hantao waved her hand in front of his eyes and called out worriedly, "Uncle?"
Zhou Yi suddenly snapped out of his daze and examined Tao Tao from head to toe.
After confirming Tao Tao's health once again, he suddenly strode forward and stood shoulder to shoulder with her.
"Hey, cameraman." Zhou Yi waved to the cameraman not far away, "Could you please take a clear shot?"
The cameraman was confused, but he gave an OK sign with one hand.
His headphones were filled with Director Wan's shouting.
Guang Sheng Group!
Big spender!
Our big spender!
Zhou Yi smiled slightly.
For some reason, people who know Zhou Yi always feel that he is like a cannon that will immediately burst into a sky full of fireworks.
It was as if, at that moment, he had received the king's approval (?).
—Is it just my imagination?
Ye Weizheng and Zhou Ti off-screen: "..."
"No, why?!" Ye Weizheng hadn't calmed down from the surprise of Tao Tao's complete recovery, and now he was furious again. "He's already officially recognized as Tao Tao's uncle, so why should he have to announce our identities?!"
Ye Weizheng slammed his fist on the steering wheel, exclaiming, "I should have snuck onto the cruise ship!"
Zhou Ti ignored him and looked down at the booklets she had saved on her tablet.
"Honey, what are you looking at?"
"These are jade ornaments, jewelry, bags, and cars that I've customized for Tao Tao over the past two years."
While glancing at Tao Tao in the live stream to make sure her precious daughter was still full of energy, Zhou Ti flipped through the pictures one by one, saying, "Before, I didn't have an excuse to give Tao Tao all the gifts; I could only give her two or three items a month."
The e-book is filled with thousands of pictures, including more than a dozen varieties of pothos plants that Tao Tao likes.
A few years ago, their balcony couldn't hold all these flowers.
Once they move into a larger estate, Zhou Ti plans to decorate the flower room with Tao Tao.
Zhou Yi was overjoyed.
Hahahahahahaha!
He actually witnessed this thrilling moment, a scene that would be etched into the annals of the Ye and Zhou families' history!
Oh dear, I should have gotten his hair done and a suit custom-made before he came.
Zhou Yi was overjoyed inside, but on the surface he remained serious and meticulously straightened his collar.
He kept a straight face and cleared his throat. "I'm sorry, friends, it's not that I intentionally hid it, but my sister and brother-in-law have repeatedly told me not to use the name of Guangsheng Group to cause trouble outside."
Ye Han opened her almond-shaped eyes slightly.
It's one thing for her to suspect that her parents are really the heads of Guang Sheng Group, but it's quite another thing for her uncle to admit it in public!
That's a huge conglomerate with a market value of trillions!
The chips in my phone are all developed by Guang Sheng, and there are also several commonly available drugs...
When Zhou Yi thought about Tao Tao's complete recovery and his family's envy and jealousy, he couldn't help but laugh and couldn't hold back his expression.
He put his arm around Tao Tao's shoulder, pursed his lips tightly, and tried his best to appear as a reliable elder. "They just want to live a low-key and ordinary life and don't want to be disturbed by too many people."
The audience fell silent.
I never imagined that Ye Hantao would one day be associated with the word "low-key".
[Help! So everything Ye Hantao used to eat, wear, use, and even say has been "downgraded"?]
Then we also said that Ye Hantao was lying, vain, and competitive...
[I thought Ye Hantao had slapped me in the face hard enough, but it turns out she can slap me even harder!!!]
The friends at the scene believed Zhou Yi's story, but they did not intend to let him off the hook.
"Oliver, you have to punish yourself with three drinks!"
"My niece is so beautiful, like a flower fairy, and you've kept her hidden away so well! Three cups aren't enough!"
Seeing that everyone believed him, Zhou Yi lowered his head and asked Tao Tao in a voice that could only be heard by the two of them, "How are you feeling?"
Ye Hantao was still in shock and subconsciously asked, "What do you mean, how?"
"Are you feeling unwell?"
"100% healthy".
Zhou Yi immediately took out his phone and sent out the plan he had prepared for a long time.
At the same time, he discussed with Tao Tao, "When you have time, your uncle will take you to see the Guang Sheng headquarters. A rooftop garden has just been completed, designed by your mother herself."
Ye Hantao: "!"
Others: "!!"
This is clearly a positive announcement!
Chu Minru felt as if she had been struck on the head, slipped from the bodyguard's grasp, and fell to the ground in a disheveled state.
Her lips trembled, and her face was as white as paper.
Chu Liangjun, who had been watching the live stream closely, almost dropped his tablet.
It's all over, it's all over!
The other three roommates in the dormitory exchanged glances and silently sent laughing emojis in the small group chat.
Ever since Chu Liangjun's biological mother married the chairman of Huayao International, Chu Liangjun has become a completely different person. He looks down on his roommates, who come from working-class families, and even boasts that whoever flatters him can get a job in Huayao International's legal department through connections.
They're not stupid.
If Chu Liangjun really has that ability, how come he's still called Uncle Chu to this day?
Guo Dong didn't even spare Chu Minru a glance, and rushed over to Ye Hantao in three steps. "Oliver, Ms. Ye, Chu Minru is rude and has offended you."
At this point, cold sweat beaded on his forehead, and he apologized sincerely to Ye Hantao, saying, "I hope you won't hold a grudge—"
"impossible!!!"
A sharp shout interrupted Guo Changtian's apology.
Ye Weiheng's face was contorted in pain as he pointed directly at Ye Hantao, his eyes bloodshot as he demanded, "Why don't you believe me! Why are you alright!"
Ye Hantao watched him rush over with a frenzied expression, and then watched Cheng Zhao, who had walked up to him from behind, stick out his foot.
With a loud bang, Ye Weiheng was tripped and fell heavily to his knees.
Unable to think clearly, Ye Weiheng could only ramble on incoherently, spouting conspiracy theories: "You're not Ye Hantao at all! You're not Ye Weizheng and Zhou Ti's daughter, you couldn't be! She must have died long ago—ah!"
Shiny black leather shoes stepped on his left hand, which was bracing him on the ground, and Cheng Zhao's voice came down from above, as cold as if it were mixed with ice.
"You went to great lengths to sneak onto the cruise ship just to curse Tao Tao?"
With each word he uttered, he pressed down hard on his foot, causing Ye Weiheng to almost faint from the pain.
On the other side was Zhou Yi, who was leaning closer to him.
Zhou Yi whispered in his ear, "Ye Weiheng, if you dare to say another word, I can't guarantee where your son will be tomorrow."
Ye Weiheng finally became fearful.
He harbored resentment towards Ye Weizheng for seizing the family business and kicking him out, but forgot what the Xie family's ancestors did.
That was the family of Zhou Ti and Zhou Yi's father.
As Ye Hantao stepped forward, she saw her uncle stand up and Cheng Zhao loosen their legs.
"..." Cheng Zhao felt guilty and dared not meet Tao Tao's eyes, afraid that Tao Tao would think he was too cruel.
Ye Hantao quietly gave him a thumbs up and asked with concern, "Cheng Zhao, are you alright?! I just saw him trip you on purpose!"
Cheng Zhao's brows relaxed slightly, and he patted his chest, "I almost fell."
[...]
[They're in cahoots!]
Don't misuse words just because you know them! This is called "the wife leads, the husband follows!"
Cheng Zhao walked to Ye Hantao's side, glanced at the bodyguard, and then gestured towards the door.
Ye Weiheng, who had been acting crazy, obediently allowed the bodyguards to drag him out, along with Chu Minru.
"Uncle, what did you say to him?" Ye Hantao asked hesitantly. "Is he really Dad's brother?"
Ye Weiheng, who appeared out of nowhere, prevented her from calmly accepting the identity she had just acquired.
Zhou Yi said nonchalantly, "He and your father have been estranged for many years, otherwise you would have never never met him."
This was an explanation meant for Tao Tao, and also for outsiders.
“Ye Weiheng’s own son owes six or seven hundred million yuan in gambling debts. He’s desperate and came to you to curry favor.” Zhou Yi curled his lip. “He just saw me come and you didn’t plead for him, so he went crazy and cursed you.”
Ye Hantao agreed, "I have absolutely no impression of him."
Suddenly, the live stream chat was flooded with exclamation marks.
[Holy crap! Holy crap! Holy crap! The CEO of Guang Sheng posted a photo of Ye Hantao!!!]
[This confirms identity verification!]
Viewers flocked to the account of the CEO of Guangsheng Group, only to see him post a screenshot of Ye Hantao in the live broadcast room.
A champagne-colored, thin-strapped gown, its hem swaying as she walks, its satin shimmering, adorned with galaxy-like embellishments.
Her long, black hair was pulled up high, and she wore a small sapphire crown, which made her skin look like fresh snow in early winter, bright and dazzlingly white.
Next to this screenshot is an official photo of Ye Hantao teaching students at a Hope School in the previous episode.
Black pants and a white T-shirt, very simple and unpretentious.
The next two images show donations and talent development programs from the Guang Sheng Group.
Initiator: Ye Hantao.
Caption: Wishing the young boss all his dreams come true. (Heart emoji) (Heart emoji) (Heart emoji)
This post was just updated, and within a minute it had already garnered over 1 million likes, with the number continuing to rise.
On the cruise ship, cell phones kept vibrating.
The guests gradually saw the accompanying text from Guang Sheng Group.
Small business owner.
These three seemingly simple words have already revealed the attitude of the person in charge behind Guang Sheng Group.
The next leader of this group is 99% likely to be Ye Hantao.
Suddenly, Ye Hantao noticed that the gazes fixed on her had become even more intense.
Business tycoons are extremely perceptive to market trends, and immediately instructed their secretaries to send an email to the CEO of Guang Sheng Group.
Using excuses such as a younger family member's birthday party or coming-of-age ceremony, they invited Ye Hantao to attend.
They had sent similar emails before, but they didn't know the names of the younger members of the Ye family, so they didn't mention them directly in the content.
Of course, the president and vice president are always the ones who attend Guang Sheng's events.
Over the past decade or so, people no longer have a strong impression of the two leaders behind Guang Sheng.
However, employees within the group would see the two bosses at different times every month or two to handle some important matters.
Therefore, although they sent the emails, they didn't have much hope for them.
To everyone's surprise, less than half an hour later, the big shots who sent the emails all received phone calls from Ye Weizheng.
This surprised them greatly, but they were also proud that they were the ones Guang Sheng valued.
They were just about to exchange a few pleasantries as an opening, when Ye Weizheng cheerfully said, "Yes, my daughter is Ye Hantao. Have you watched the variety show? It's called 'Classmates Are Here,' and Ye Hantao in it is my daughter. Han is the character with the sun radical, and Tao is the character for longevity peach."
The big shots: "?"
They were forced to listen to the meaning of a name over the phone, and that Ye Hantao's favorite elder in the family was her father, before Ye Weizheng said, "Alright, we'll talk about it later. I still have a few calls to make."
Dudu.
The busy signal sounded after the call was disconnected.
The big shots who hadn't uttered a single word from beginning to end were simply like: "??"
