CHAPTER 507: CHAPTER 507

"In the orphanage, I met Brother Ming. Later, when Brother Ming’s family found him, they also took me back to the Feng Family with them. I lived with the Feng Family for over a decade, until the Jiang Family realized they had taken the wrong child and brought me back."

"I lived with the Jiang Family for four years, but to be honest, those four years were even harder than my time in the orphanage. They publicly claimed they only had one daughter, Jiang Weiwei, and that I was just a child they adopted. Whenever Weiwei cried, regardless of right or wrong, I had to kneel and be punished in the ancestral hall."

"Later on, I got into a fight at school to save a girl from bullying, and they cut off my tuition and pocket money. I had no choice but to work part-time jobs while continuing my studies."

"In fact, I broke off relations with the Jiang Family half a year ago. They proposed that if I could help them find an emerald necklace, it would sever our blood relationship. I did find the necklace for them as promised, but now they’ve gone back on their word..."

As Jiang Moxi spoke of her past, the guests at the event murmured among themselves and pointed fingers at the Jiang Family’s group.

The live broadcast’s comment section was flooded once again.

"My God, Designer X’s life has been so full of hardships."

"I thought the idea of favoring boys over girls only existed in TV dramas. I didn’t expect it to happen in real life."

"One of my relatives is a local from Yan City. He also said that the Jiang Family in Yan City did indeed publicly claim that Jiang Weiwei was their biological daughter and that the other girl was adopted."

"The fact that Jiang Moxi worked part-time to earn tuition is absolutely true. Because I’m her classmate, and I’ve even bought milk tea she sold."

"Holy shit, it turns out we were not only used by Jiang Weiwei, but her entire family took advantage of us."

"If everything Jiang Moxi said is true, then not only did Jiang Weiwei, as an adopted daughter, occupy her birth parents’ home, but now she’s also using her birth parents against Jiang Moxi. Her heart is way too dark."

At the banquet, as soon as Jiang Moxi finished speaking, Feng Ming suddenly took the microphone from her hand.

He had noticed comments in the live feed continuously taunting Jiang Moxi, accusing her of being a waitress at Night Color and exchanging her beauty for money, a stain they felt she could not wash away!

Taking the microphone, Feng Ming said.

"Xixi indeed worked as a waitress at Night Color, which is true. But she was doing the job of a waitress, nothing more. And do you know why she needed to earn so much money?"

Once Feng Ming threw out this question, both the live audience and the banquet hall quieted down considerably.

Yes, everyone was curious. Why would a student like Jiang Moxi need so much money?

"Before discussing this issue, let me introduce myself. I am Feng Ming, the former head of the Feng Family. You must have heard about my accidental death over these four years, but in reality, I’m not dead, though I might as well have been."

When Feng Ming talked about the past four years, all the elites at the banquet listened intently, afraid of missing the slightest detail.

Yes, Feng Ming had mysteriously disappeared for four years and was now suddenly back. This could likely change the Feng Family’s power structure and even the Emperor City’s political landscape.

They were all curious about where Feng Ming had been during these four years.

But no one dared to casually inquire about someone else’s family affairs, fearing they might anger Feng Yu, the mad dog.

Now that Feng Ming was voluntarily sharing his experiences of these four years, they listened with great interest.

And in front of the watchful eyes of the audience, Feng Ming candidly said: "Four years ago, I was in an accident and became a living dead person. The doctors issued critical condition notices numerous times, even advising Xixi to give up on me, but she didn’t."

"She disappeared from everyone’s view as she silently took me to Yan City for treatment. She was afraid of giving the old man hope and then disappointing him. She even paid for my medical expenses out of her own pocket, too scared to contact anyone from the Feng Family. Naturally, with her own parents not even paying her tuition and the treatment costing hundreds of thousands a month, she had no choice but to work herself."

Feng Ming continued, "The only thing I’m grateful for is that I didn’t disappoint her hopes by waking up over these four years. I’m saying all this to let you know, every cent she earned was clean, and it was all spent rightfully."

As Feng Ming’s statement elicited various exclamations, Fu Youhan snatched the microphone.

"The Night Color in Yan City where Xixi worked is owned by my friend Ye Chen. She only stayed in my private room, she’s my wife. How could you possibly think I’d let anyone lay their hands on her?"

With Fu Youhan’s words, the audience erupted into lively discussions once again.

Countless people were curious about who Fu Youhan was and how he had captured Miss Feng Xi’s heart.

Numerous people marveled, how could Miss Xi be so beautiful and talented, and yet be spoken for so early?

Feng Yu was disgruntled that Fu Youhan had openly declared his relationship with Jiang Moxi on the spot, but he knew better than to pick a fight at this time. They had come together today to take a stand against the Jiang Family on behalf of Jiang Moxi; this was not the time for unnecessary complications.

So, Feng Yu simply took the microphone and said, "Xixi is our Feng Family’s Miss Xi, and will always be. I was already reluctant when you took her away, and on top of that, you treated her badly..."

"Very well, you’ve crossed my line, Feng Yu. Now, I don’t want to let any of you off the hook."

At the end of his words, Feng Yu’s eyes, dark and intense, fixed fiercely in the direction of the Jiang Family members.

The live broadcast just so happened to catch this grim and ferocious look, prompting countless people to remark.

"My goodness, is this the rumored German orthopedics expert?"

"I suddenly feel like Feng Yu and Designer X make such a good match!"

But for the Jiang Family members caught under Feng Yu’s glare, it didn’t feel so good.

Jiang Weiwei even lowered her head deeply, as if afraid Feng Yu might drag her out for an immediate execution.

Jiang Tairan, Jiang Guosheng, and others were panic-stricken as well.

During their time living in Emperor City, they had heard more or less about the top-tier, prestigious Feng Family.

So, they also had a rough idea that Miss Xi of the Feng Family was the Feng Family’s line in the sand. Anger any member of the Feng Family, and there might be a way out.

But anger Miss Xi, and you’d likely be sent directly to the crematorium by Feng Yu.

However, the Jiang Family members had never expected Jiang Moxi, whom they never valued, to be the Feng Family’s beloved Miss Xi...

All their minds buzzed with only a few words—It’s over! Everything is over.

At this moment, all they could think about was to beg Jiang Moxi and other members of the Feng Family for forgiveness and apologize; they had no concern left for seeking justice for Jiang Weiwei.

But now, the charity auction event had arrived.

The host personally led Jiang Moxi and the others to their seats, then returned to the stage to introduce the various items to be auctioned today.

The jewelry and shares displayed today were the kind seldom seen on the market, priceless commodities.

In addition, the host announced, "The items up for auction tonight are personally donated by Miss Xi, also known as our Designer X. The proceeds will be donated in full to orphanages across the nation!"

As the host’s voice fell, warm applause broke out again across the venue.

Moreover, by the end of the charity auction dinner, the amount raised had exceeded 2.8 billion taels.

Jiang Moxi was even present to sign the donation agreement, contributing this sum to orphanages both large and small nationwide.

Thus, the rumor that Jiang Moxi pushed Jiang Weiwei to a desperate end for money was also debunked.

As the charity auction dinner drew to a close, people’s focus had already shifted.

Everyone was simply in awe of Jiang Moxi’s talent and unsurpassed beauty, as well as her extraordinary poise.

As for Jiang Weiwei...

Hardly anyone was willing to mention her anymore.

Even the Jiang Family members seemed to have forgotten that they had come to seek justice for Jiang Weiwei.

As the dinner was nearing its end, Jiang Moxi, escorted by Feng Ming, Feng Yu, and Fu Youhan, was preparing to leave.

The Jiang Family members hurriedly rushed forward...
