Not long after was Shen Mingxi's birthday.

　　Father Shen decided to throw a party and introduce me to everyone.

　　As soon as I came back from the lab, I was startled and sat up from my sickbed, "Can I refuse?" Although I'm not socially anxious, I still have some reservations about chatting with a group of unfamiliar people...

　　As expected, my proposal was vetoed by three votes.

　　On the day of the party, I wandered around the banquet hall in the carefully selected dress chosen by Shen Yaoxi—according to her, it was a sisterly outfit that you could recognize at first glance.

　　I really liked this dress, so I thanked her and was then reprimanded by the family for being too polite.

　　The party was in full swing, and from afar, I could see Shen Mingxi conversing confidently with others, showing his prowess just like his father.

　　The lights shone upon the party, and oh, there's a handsome guy.

　　Presumably, he inherited our family's genes.

　　Just as I was struggling with the last piece of cake, a tough-looking man approached and stopped me.

　　When he saw me looking at him, he acted like we were old friends: "Yaoxi, I heard that your long-lost sister who disappeared for twenty years has come back? And she grew up in the countryside? Your family letting her out, doesn't it feel embarrassing?" He mistook me for Shen Yaoxi, probably because of the dress she picked out for me, which had a bit of her style, so he got us confused.

　　I smiled and looked at him.

　　A professional fake smile, anyone can do it.

　　This guy thought he hit the mark and kept on talking to himself: "I'm just saying, that girl who grew up in the countryside definitely can't compare to you, Yaoxi, but you shouldn't let your guard down.

　　In case Uncle Shen feels guilty and wants to give her some shares or something, you'll be at a disadvantage..." My inner thoughts: What's wrong with growing up in the countryside? My foster parents have a country house for retreat, are you jealous? Throughout three generations, who isn't from the countryside? Hmph! But on my face, I maintained a standard smile.

　　Just as I was pondering, a clear and crisp female voice came from beside me: "I didn't know that Mr.

　　Wang was so interested in our family affairs, even wanting to meddle in whether or not my dad should give shares to my sister?" Well, yes, that's my sister.

　　Mr.

　　Wang glanced at me, then at Shen Yaoxi, and was momentarily stunned: "You...you two..." I rolled my eyes and said, "Ever heard of identical twins? Sir, if your eyesight is bad, I suggest getting a pair of glasses so that you won't mistake people again."

　　However, I see that this gentleman not only has bad eyesight, but his brain seems to be not very functional either.

　　Oh well, this is difficult, after all, several hundred years ago, Mr.

　　Li Shizhen said in his book "Compendium of Materia Medica": 'There is no medicine for brain damage.'"

　　"You!" I grabbed Shen Yaoxi: "Darling, look, he's bullying me!" Don't mess with the child with an older sister, hey~ Shen Yaoxi looked at the young master with scrutiny: "If you don't want to be kicked out right now, shut your mouth." This assertive remark doesn't at all resemble the usually gentle Shen Yaoxi, but I like it! It feels good to have an older sister's support.

　　The situation here didn't cause a big commotion, and the young master Wang left my sight dejectedly.

　　Shen Yaoxi wanted to introduce me to her friends, but I found an excuse to slip away.

　　We can take our time with this kind of thing.

　　Drinking juice in the corner, I noticed someone at the neighboring table.

　　I didn't pay much attention initially, but I couldn't help it, as this person stood out too much.

　　It's all thanks to my obsession with appearance.

　　I walked over with my glass of wine, and this person was actually looking at stock market trends.

　　Truly worthy of being invited by a domineering CEO, so diligent and responsible.

　　I picked up a juice and sat down: "Hi~" The person glanced at me: "Miss Shen Er." I was stunned.

　　I actually mistook me for Shen Yaoxi: "What if I were my sister?" He smiled and put away his phone: "I've seen Miss Shen a few times before, and Miss Er...

　　has a different temperament." I corrected him: "Although you answered correctly, I want to correct you.

　　Currently, my last name is still Yun, Yun Songlan." He went along with it: "Miss Yun, nice to meet you.

　　I'm Lian Zhonglou." In that moment, I suspected that he was making fun of me, mainly because...

　　this name is very much like that of a protagonist in ancient tales...

　　But I think he probably wouldn't make up a name on the spot to brush me off.

　　After all, the Shen family's names are also very much like those of characters from ancient tales...

　　I quickly made up my mind.

　　I found myself increasingly interested in him: "Nice to meet you.

　　I feel like we have a strong connection.

　　You see, Songlan is a Chinese medicine, and Zhonglou is also a Chinese medicine.

　　It shows that our fate is predetermined." I admired myself.

　　Even when encountering a handsome guy, my social anxiety can turn into social prowess.

　　"Miss Yun, do you have such a strong connection with everyone?" He looked at me, and I only just noticed that attractive people have equally attractive eyes.

　　"No, currently, you're the only one I want to have a connection with." "What do you like about me, Miss Yun?" "You're good-looking." Perhaps my answer was too simple, as he was momentarily stunned: "In the future, Miss Yun will encounter even more good-looking people." I shook my head: "Good-looking people who also suit my taste are too hard to find." Just as I was about to say something else, my phone vibrated.

　　It was Shen calling me from everywhere, wanting to publicly announce my identity.

　　I looked at Lian Zhonglou and said, "It's settled then.

　　Since you're single too, I've decided to pursue you." After saying that, I went to find Shen.

　　Shen stood at the lectern, first giving a speech, then thanking the guests for their presence.

　　Just as I was starting to drift off, he finally got to the point: "I believe everyone has heard that my long-lost daughter was recently found.

　　Today, I want to take this opportunity to introduce my daughter to everyone: Yun Songlan." I walked forward and took the microphone from Shen: "Hello everyone, I am Yun Songlan."

　　"After pausing for a moment, I still feel the need to explain to this group of people who seem serious but are actually very gossip-oriented.

　　"I have the same surname as my foster mother and currently have no plans to change it.

　　I simply think the process is troublesome.

　　It has nothing to do with Lao Shen...My father.

　　Lastly, I want to say that I really like my father, my brother, and my sister.

　　Okay, that's it, thank you." After finishing speaking, I handed the microphone back to Lao Shen.

　　When I turned my head, I saw Lian Chonglou, and then...

　　I gave him a wink.

　　He didn't react much.

　　He seems to be a reserved person, I wonder if it will be difficult for me to pursue him.

　　Afterwards, Lao Shen, Shen Mingxi, and Shen Yaoxi took me around to introduce people.

　　In fact, I know more than half of the people in this banquet hall, such as Uncle Mu in front of me.

　　Lao Shen greeted Uncle Mu, "Old Mu, this is my youngest daughter, you should also know her, I won't introduce her further." Uncle Mu looked at me and said, "Xiao Song Lan, long time no see~ Ah, the last time I saw you, you were still Old Yue's youngest daughter.

　　He is probably crying now." The Old Yue he mentioned is my adoptive father, and Uncle Mu is his friend.

　　I have seen him a few times before at banquets.

　　Like Old Yue, he is a lively and humorous middle-aged man.

　　Lao Shen quickly clarified, "I didn't steal the daughter from General Yue, and besides, he is probably on vacation with Ms.

　　Yun right now.

　　Don't label me like that." I held back my laughter and said, "Right, I didn't disturb their honeymoon, they must be enjoying themselves." I call Lao Shen "father" and my adoptive parents "mom and dad." Uncle Mu waved his hand, "I won't take up your time, many people must be curious about Song Lan, go ahead." After a while, almost everyone knew that even though I didn't return to the Shen family, I was the daughter of the rich Yue family in the neighboring city for the past twenty years.

　　Whispered conversations started to increase.

　　Shen Yaoxi was afraid that I would be unhappy and held my hand tightly.

　　I held her hand back and whispered in her ear, "They are jealous of me, don't worry, I don't mind." When we were leaving, Wang, who had previously caused trouble for me, had an interesting expression on his face and practically fled.

　　I didn't see Lian Chonglou, hopefully, he wasn't scared away by me.
