On hearing the voice, everyone turned to look toward the door at the same time . A girl about three or four years old came into their sight . The girl had long and black hair, jade-like face, and big eyes which were as bright as stars . In a pink dress, she looked like a princess in fairy tales and a adorable dool of a big size .
"Which family is the girl from? She looks so lovely . Her parents must be good-looking as well, otherwise, they would not be able have a child who looks like a fairy . "
When everyone was confused, the little girl ran into Qin Haodong's arms like a bird and kissed his cheeks several times before saying, "Papa, I miss you so much . "
"Oh my God, this girl should be Qin Haodong's daughter!"
Everyone in the room was stunned . None of them had expected that Qin Haodong had a daughter about three or four years old .
Especially Zhu Linlin and Zhang Xiaohui, they were dumbfounded . Qin Haodong's daughter had run to them just as they sneered at Qin Haodong that he could not find a wife . Moreover, the girl was much more lovely than the black boy in Zhu Linlin's arms .
Qin Haodong was not surprised at Tang Tang's arrival as he had informed Lin Momo of his location before he entered the room .
"Tang Tang, where is your mom?"
"Right behind me . "
Tang Tang pointed backward as she said . Everyone looked toward the door again . A woman in a white suit walked in . She looked in her twenties and looked hot despite in a suit . Her curvaceous figure, especially her voluptuous breast made every woman present feel ashamed .
What more impressive than her figure was her appearance . She looked perfect with every corner of her face extremely delicate .
She was exactly the woman who had the face of an angel and a stunning figure . There was dead silence in the room except that some men's swallowing sounds could be heard from time to time .
Not only was this woman beautiful, but she was sexy as hell too . Add to that the strong aura that she possessed, she could hold the attention of everyone in the house the moment she showed her face .
Lin Momo strode towards Qin Haodong, her long and sexy legs drawing every pair of eyes present . Stopping beside Qin Haodong, she reached out her hand and clung on to his arm . Her eyes swept around the place as she appraised the scene before her . "Who says my husband can't find a wife? He just has no eyes for plain Janes is all," she declared bossily .

Almost instantaneously, a dead silence descended upon the room . The crowd's reactions were highly varied . The men felt a mixture of admiration, envy and hatred towards Qin Haodong . For the life of them, they could not understand how a penniless man like him could be with such a elegant and beautiful woman .
The women, on the other hand, were experiencing unparalleled shock . The woman before them was refined and elegant, and not to mention having an appearance that was completely out of scale . One could tell with a single glance that she was a person of wealth and high status . "Fair, rich and beautiful" could not even come close to doing such a lady justice . In contrast, women like themselves could only be relegated to the "plain Janes" category .
Zhang Xiaohui, who had been acting provocative and aggressive just moments ago, was now about as quiet as a old hen whose throat was strangled . She had always been a woman with a sharp tongue who never minced her words . Her words were usually mean, harsh and unforgiving . They would bring just about anyone to their brutal end without giving them any elbow room whatsoever . And yet right now, she seemed to have lost her spunk entirely .
Reality would triumph over an articulate speech any day . All Lin Momo had to do was stand beside Qin Haodong, and that in itself was the strongest possible rebuttal . Right now, Zhang Xiaohui was in a state of utter defeat . There was nothing else she could say . In fact, this all felt like a slap to her face .
As a woman who had once pursued Qin Haodong, the scowl on Zhu Linlin's face was the darkest of all . Zhu Linlin had always been a prideful woman . And yet the bitch who had just come in had categorized her as a plain Jane? That was something that she could never accept no matter what . She wanted to say something in rebuttal, though the mere sight of Lin Momo's perfect beauty and unparalelled elegance made all her words stuck in her throat .
Cafu, the tall and buff black man, did not know much about Huaxia . That was why he had held his tongue the entire time when Ma Wenzhuo and the rest were bickering with each other .
Then again, no words were required in the appreciation of feminine beauty . The moment he laid eyes on Lin Momo, Cafu's eyes went wide and he was practically salivating .
He ran forward and spoke in an unnatural Huaxia accent . "Greetings, beautiful lady . My name is Cafu, and I'm from the great M Country . I own a business in Huaxia with ten millions worth of assets . Can we be friends?"
Cafu extended his huge hands, which had a pitch-black complexion, towards Lin Momo . Anticipation filled his face as he looked at Lin Momo expectantly .
At the sight, Zhu Linlin's scowl darkened further . How could her husband flirt with other women when she was sitting right beside him? To her, this was nothing but an utmost humiliation . Still, a woman like her, who was completely reliant on men in order to survive, had no position in the house . Although her heart was burning with anger, none of her anger showed on her face .
"I dislike the color black . And I dislike even more the thought of befriending you . "
After her answer, Lin Momo barely spared Cafu a glance let alone shake his hand . She turned her head aside towards Qin Haodong .
Cafu did not expect this Huaxia woman to reject him so blatantly . With a look of pure shock on his face, he yelled, "You can't be like this! As long as you're with me, I'll shower you with gifts . I can give you money . A lot, a lot, of money . "

Lin Momo did not expect this black man to be so persistent . A look of disdain formed on her face . This time around, she did not even bother to answer the man . Instead, she moved to stand to Qin Haodong's other side .
Qin Haodong gave Cafu a glance . A cold smile tugged at the corners of his lips . "This black guy really is an ignorant dunce," he thought . "You call ten million a lot of money? Give me a break . Even Lin Momo's pocket money is worth ten times more than what he has . "
As thick-skinned as Cafu was, even he was starting to feel awkward at this point . He stepped back sheepishly .
Seeing Zhang Xiaohui, Zhu Linlin and their bunch being repeatedly put down, Ma Wenzhuo felt nothing but delight . He gave Qin Haodong's chest a strong punch . "Hey, you brat . Look at how grown up your daughter is, and yet you're keeping her a secret from me . Are we still brothers?"
Qin Haodong feigned a look of pain as he rubbed his chest . The truth was that there was no satisfactory explanation for this kind of thing . The only thing he could do was try to swindle his way out of this .
"Uncle, you can't hit my Papa . "
The little fellow's dissastisfaction was clear from his tone .
"Okay, okay . I won't hit him . You see, your dad and I are best friends . We're just messing around with each other," Ma Wenzhuo said lovingly . "Tang Tang, will you let uncle hug you?"
"Are you really Papa's friend?" the little girl asked, blinking her large eyes .
"Of course . You know, your dad an I even share the same pants back in the days," Ma Wenzhuo said .
"Alright then . Any friend of Papa's can hug Tang Tang . "
"Wonderful! Tang Tang really is too cute," Ma Wenzhuo said before he took the girl from Qin Haodong's arms . He handled the little girl with great care and deep affection as if he was holding a rare treasure .
After he had cradled the little girl in his arms, Ma Wenzhuo suddenly remembered Lin Momo's presence . "Hi, sister-in-law," he greeted hurriedly . "I'm Ma Wenzhuo . Haodong and I are best buddies . "

Lin Momo blushed; it was her first time being addressed as someone's sister-in-law . She could tell that Ma Wenzhuo and Qin Haodong shared a special bond . "Nice to meet you . I'm Lin Momo," she returned the greeting politely .
"Sis, don't just stand there . Hurry up and take a seat," Ma Wenzhuo said . Right now, the frustration in his chest left him in a swoosh . He beckoned enthusiastically for Lin Momo to take a seat, and then he dragged another chair to sit down beside Qin Haodong .
The little girl glanced around her surroundings . "Papa, can I play with that child?" she asked Qin Haodong .
For people of Qin Haodong's age, not many of their classmates had gotten married, let alone had kids . That was why the black kid was Tang Tang's only playmate in the entire private room .
"Of course you can . "
Although Qin Haodong did not approve of Zhu Linlin's behavior, kids were still kids . So he placed the little girl on the ground without thinking too much about it . He allowed her to seek out and play with the little black kid .
The minds of children were much less complicated than those of adults; soon, the two children were having fun together .
Ma Wenzhuo glanced at the two children who were now standing close to each other . "It's true after all," he said wistfully . "You can't really see the shortcomings of something until you put it side by side with something better . "
Qin Haodong understood what he meant; the black kid was not really well-liked in the first place, but now that he was standing beside Tang Tang, he did seem a bit pitiful . "They're all just kids . It's best if you watch your mouth," he said .
"I don't get her at all . She's a fine Huaxia citizen, and yet she just had to find a black man to marry," Ma Wenzhuo mumbled . He said nothing else after that .
The air in the room had become slightly awkward after the incident just now . Good thing the party was about to begin, so more and more classmates were showing up . With that, the atmosphere was gradually enlivened .
Just then, a pretty-looking woman walked into the room . The moment she walked through the door, all women in the room crowded around her .
"Wenqing, you're here!"
"Wenqing, come sit beside me . "
Qin Haodong knew that woman; she was his classmate during middle school, Wu Wenqing . The thing was that she had not been conspicuous at all during middle school, and she had not usually been all that talkative . He wondered why she was suddenly so popular .
"Is that Wu Wenqing?" he said to Ma Wenzhuo . "What's she up to now? How come she's so popular?"
"Wu Wenqing is pretty awesome right now . She had picked up gemmology from her grandfather and she had passed her gemmology exams not long ago . Right now, she's one of the few certified gemmologists in our Wufeng County . Oh, and she's now working at a jade store in Wufeng County that is owned Lin's Group .
"Well, women nowadays like to buy jewelry and stuff . So they want Wu Wenqing to check out their stuff, that's why she's so popular . "
"Oh!" Qin Haodong nodded . Then, he whispered into Lin Momo's ear, "Can't believe we're running into an employee of the Lin's Group . Do you know her?"
Heat crept up to Lin Momo's cheeks the moment she felt Qin Haodong's breath in her ear . "Lin's Group has as many as twenty-three subordinate divisions . And among them, Wufeng County is the lowest ranking division . So how do you expect me to know all the employees . "
"True," Qin Haodong thought . "Lin's Group is just too big . "
Compared to Lin Momo, Wu Wenqing was only an employee of the lowest rank . Still, it did not change the fact that Wu Wenqing was now surrounded by a group of overzealous female classmates, just like how the moon would stand out amidst the stars abundant in the sky .
"Wen Qing, can you check this out for me? I bought this jade bracelet a few days ago during my vacation . Is it genuine . . . What? You mean it's a fake? Oh my God! There's goes my 800 bucks!"
"Wenqing, are you able to tell the worth of this necklace?"
"Wenqing, the ring seller told me that this is white jade . Can you see if it's true?"
Wu Wenqing's was rather easy-going; she answered her female classmates' questions patiently . Some of her classmates were delighted after hearing her answer, while some walked away with sad looks on their faces .
The room slowly fell silent as the women were done having their stuff examined . Zhu Linlin gave Lin Momo and Qin Haodong a sidelong glance . Then, she raised her hand, brandishing the huge diamond ring she wore on her hand . She brought the ring before Wu Wenqing . "Wenqing, can you examine this for me? This is my husband's birthday gift for me . How much is it worth?" she said, raising her voice deliberately .
She had been utterly humiliated in front of Qin Haodong just now . She knew that she could not compete with Lin Momo in the looks department . Her kid was not as cute as the little girl as well . The only way for her to satisfy her own vanity was to show off her diamond ring to everyone .
