“Thank you everyone for attending the Hill Family’s banquet. Many guests have come from overseas, and it has been a tiring journey. Thank you for coming. As the head of the Hill Family, I feel very honored.”
“Today, I took the liberty to ask everyone to come here from afar to announce two very important things…”
At this point, Xi Cheng paused for a moment and turned to look at Huo Tian on the other side. He waved at her, and Huo Tian understood him. She let go of Si Huan’s arm and walked to Xi Cheng’s side.
Xi Cheng’s arms rested lightly on the backs of the two women beside him slightly, as if he was handling two treasures. He announced to all the guests, “Now, I want to formally introduce the two people beside me. They are my wife and my daughter!”
When Xi Cheng appeared with this group of people, the guests who did not know the exact situation had already guessed it. Xi Cheng’s announcement only verified people’s guesses, and everyone felt that it was as expected.
No one questioned him, so Xi Cheng continued, “Friends who have some understanding of the Hill Family should know that I didn’t grow up in the Hill Family. Before I inherited the family, I’ve led a very bumpy life. However, in those more than 20 years of bumpy life, I also experienced happy times. That was when I was in China. I met this woman, who is my greatest love in this life. I hid my identity and past from her, changed my name, and got to know her. We fell in love, got married, and had the fruit of our love…”
The guests listened attentively as if they had fallen into that happy memory with Xi Cheng’s recollection.
Xi Cheng’s voice was filled with regret. “I’m not a good husband or a good father. In order to make my small family not be affected by the power struggle for the Hill Family, I bade farewell to my pregnant wife and returned to the United States alone. My wife and child were my motivation and courage. Because I had the faith to give them happiness, I became the new leader of the Hill Family. However, in the process, I suffered an accident and lost all my memories of them. Because of my mistakes, our family had been separated for almost 20 years.”
This story could be said to be a legend. Many female guests at the banquet were touched, and their eyes even glistened with tears.
What Xi Cheng said next made people feel even more emotional about how lovers would eventually unite and how fate was unpredictable.
He looked at his wife and daughter lovingly and said with a trembling voice, “I’m not a good person through and through, but fate treats me very well. After 19 years, our family is lucky to be reunited. Over the years, I wasn’t by their side and they led a very hard life. However, my wife used the most sincere maternal love to raise my daughter very well. I even dare to say that in less than ten years, my daughter will become the greatest scientist in the world!”
Xi Cheng’s proud words received everyone’s kind applause.
However, none of the guests believe his prediction. How was that possible? This girl had never been given elite education and had never participated in international competitions before.
It was said that one had to become famous early. This 19-year-old girl who had reached adulthood had never been known as a genius. She might have had some wonderful ideas, but she definitely wouldn’t be able to reach the level of being called a scientist.
Xi Cheng’s life of over 40 years of life experience had allowed him to easily see through people’s hearts. Of course, he understood that these guests did not believe his words, but he was not in a hurry to prove it to them.. One day, these people would know how outstanding and amazing a genius his daughter was.
