Chapter 1023: Chapter 1023: Old Friends Return, Evening Banquet’s Turbulence (3) Chapter 1023: Chapter 1023: Old Friends Return, Evening Banquet’s Turbulence (3) Ye Lao also felt that if he intervened, it would only make people believe that Ye Zheng and the Ye Family had inseparable ties.

Qiao Qiao ran to Su Hongxing’s side and whispered, “Su, she’s Mo Li’s mother.”

Su Hongxing whispered back, “I guessed as much.”

Lin Zhi was the reason Ye Zheng and the Ye Family fell out, wasn’t she? Lin Zhi was not only a year older than Ye Zheng, she was also his elder, as well as Mo Jianrong’s discarded ex-wife. How could a conservative old-timer like Ye Lao possibly accept a granddaughter-in-law like Lin Zhi?

It had to be said, Ye Zheng was very courageous, daring to confront Ye Lao like this many years ago, which was a slap in the face for Ye Lao.

Looking at Ye Lao’s expression, he still disliked Ye Zheng.

She was relieved that today Mo Li had not appeared, otherwise, seeing Lin Zhi and Ye Zheng together, who knew what he would think.

Mo Jianrong and Lan Lin helped the injured Mo Qiu up, ready to leave as a family.

Yet, Mo Jianrong suddenly remembered something, turned back to Lin Zhi, and said, “Now that you’re back, shouldn’t you see Mo Li? He only returned this year. To this day, he still hasn’t forgotten you, his mother.”

But, seeing Lin Zhi’s status, wouldn’t Mo Li be even more heartbroken?

Hearing Mo Li’s name, Lin Zhi’s smile faded.

She paused momentarily, then looked at Mo Jianrong for a long time before saying, “He is your son Mo Jianrong, he has nothing to do with me.”

In Mo Li’s heart, his mother must have died long ago, right?

Mo Jianrong did not expect Lin Zhi to be so heartless. He let out a long sigh and finally walked away, trembling slightly.

He realized he had aged, while Lin Zhi seemed just as she had been all those years ago, unchanged. Much as he hated to admit it, the fact that Ye Zheng took good care of Lin Zhi was undeniable, much better than when she was with him.

Since Lin Zhi “died”, he had always felt guilty about her, and he had never forgotten her over the years.

His deceased ex-wife suddenly reappeared, now as the wife of Ye Zheng. By tomorrow, the news of his ex-wife being taken by Ye Zheng would probably cause an uproar throughout the city.

After Mo Jianrong’s family left, everyone started chattering, occasionally glancing at Ye Zheng and Lin Zhi. Those who had had dealings with Mo Jianrong finally remembered who Lin Zhi was.

Coupled with the sensitive identity of Ye Zheng, this undoubtedly was like dropping a massive bomb at the banquet, leaving everyone stunned.

Yet the two individuals in question strolled together, their demeanor relaxed, as if they weren’t the creators of the scandal.

Ye Lao truly hoped that Ye Zheng and Lin Zhi would leave the banquet quickly to give the Ye Family some peace.

However, Ye Zheng seemed to know his thoughts and purposefully did the opposite, walking around with Lin Zhi among the guests, many of whom were impressed by Ye Zheng’s composure.

That night, Ye Zheng and Lin Zhi were destined to be the focus of the entire event, captivating everyone’s attention.

In contrast, Ye Shiqing and Ye Qilan, who were supposed to be the center of attention that evening, were overshadowed by Ye Zheng’s prominence after his arrival.

Ye Shiqing stood by Ye Qilan and sighed, “Big brother is no longer the big brother of the past.”

Back then, Ye Zheng was young, vibrant, and his actions exuded the energy and vigor of youth. The Ye Zheng they saw now was even more impressive. Time had tempered his assertiveness, making him composed and steady.

Perhaps this was Lin Zhi’s influence, or perhaps it was the effect of time. In any case, the Ye Zheng before them no longer showed any sign of the helplessness he had felt when Ye Lao banished him from the Ye Family years before.
