Not only were netizens taken aback, but everyone present was also greatly surprised.
Especially now when Xue Wenxuan personally stepped forward to rescue Huo Yu and Xia Wan from the heavy siege of reporters
When the three of them stood together, the contrast in their clothing became even more noticeable.
Even the reporters who were busy trying to get the news noticed the similarity in their clothes. The atmosphere at the scene paused for a moment and then got active again, with everyone shooting questions at the three people.
At that moment, Xue Wenxuan guided Huo Yu and Xia Wan through the long passage into the banquet area and entered the venue.
They walked side by side, with Huo Yu on the left and Xue Wenxuan on the right. The two tall men, both 1.9 meters tall, surrounded Xia Wan in the middle, yet the scene appeared strangely harmonious.
Not only that, but their postures also appeared quite intimate and familiar.
Most people knew that Huo Yu collaborated with the Xue family on a project, and since Xue Wenxuan was in charge of it, it made sense for him and Huo Yu to have a closer relationship.
But what puzzled everyone was that Xue Wenxuan appeared to be more closer to Xia Wan than to Huo Yu.
He leaned forward slightly to talk to Xia Wan, his eyes carrying a gentle smile that seemed to be filled with affection. Xia Wan, in return, looked up at him with bright and joyful eyes, brimming with trust.
The camera chased behind them briefly, and although this action seemed to last only a moment, the reporters remained extremely excited.
This press conference proved to be quite fruitful. Not only did the young master of the Xue family capture everyone’s attention, but there were also numerous secret relationships beginning to emerge.
With all these photos and news about the guests today, there will be plenty to talk about for the next month.
At that moment, both sides of the long aisle in the banquet area were packed with guests.
The Xue family had a prominent position in Beijing, and this press conference was even more crowded with big personalities.
No one was unwilling to get involved with the Xue family, and everyone was eager to come over at that moment to add to the excitement.
Of course, they also noticed the issue with the three-person outfits.
However, compared to many excited netizens and reporters at the scene, their demeanor was more reserved and composed.
Perhaps it was because people tended to feel intimidated. Facing someone much more powerful than themselves was considered a big deal for most people, and what happened between the Xue family and Huo Yu was indeed significant. It was easy to feel overwhelmed by their influence.
Most people just looked at each other in tacit understanding, then subtly shifted their gaze or nodded to the three of them with a distant smile, as if nothing had happened.
“I see it’s snowing heavily. Was it easy to walk here?” Xue Wenxuan asked Xia Wan in a low voice, his smiling eyes resting on his red bow tie.
It was originally black when it was sent over, but he didn’t know whose idea it was, Huo Yu’s or Xia Wan’s, to change it to red.
But it looked very beautiful, adding a touch of playfulness and liveliness to Xia Wan’s elegance.
Standing together with someone like Huo Yu, who exuded an air of indifference and asceticism, felt like being the opposite but complementary side of the same coin—a perfect match.
“It was smooth all the way. There was a traffic jam downstairs in the hotel for a while,” Xia Wan said with a smile.
Xue Wenxuan also smiled in response.
“We have a lot of guests today,” Xue Wenxuan said. “Many of the people here have helped us when we were looking for you in the past.”
In those years, the Xue family’s open mailbox for missing people was always full.
Some people who went on business trips to other places didn’t forget to help search the local area, and if there were any suspected individuals, they were notified through various channels.
Even though many people helped for their own reasons, the Xue family has always remembered and been thankful for their help.
Hearing this, Xia Wan nodded lightly, his eyes sweeping across the entire room. However, he pursed his lips and remained silent, withholding any further comment.
Xue Wenxuan raised his hand and touched Xia Wan’s tie, smiling as he spoke: “There’s no need to feel too burdened. If they need help in the future, our family will always be there for them.”

“Master Xue, congratulations.”

Xue Wenxuan was also generous. With a smile, he introduced Huo Yu one by one, making sure to clearly introduce the seniors in the industry who were related to the Huo family’s business and held high status and seniority.
After the three people passed by, someone finally couldn’t help but start talking, “Master Xue has such a good relationship with Huo Yu? Doesn’t it seem like he wants to give all his resources to Huo Yu?”
“It seems that Huo Yu will also be sitting at the head table today with the Xue family.” someone mentioned.
“This is not surprising. After all, Huo Yu’s current status is different from in the past, and he’s much more impressive than Huo Peixue.”
“He has a lot of projects and investments. It’s quite impressive considering he hadn’t even returned to the Huo family and had all the funds he could mobilize. Not to mention, there’s also the Huo family, Yan Yu, and Shenzhou now. I heard that the Langqiao Gallery is also his, right?”
“It’s a pity that some people were not daring enough. Otherwise, if they had supported and chosen Huo Yu earlier and married him, it would have been them who have contributed to his success, and now they would have been soaring with him.”
“Before, Su’s child was quite fond of him. Mr. Su was concerned about not upsetting Huo Peixue, so he kept an eye on the child, otherwise…”
“When Huo Yu’s status rose, there were people of marriageable age at home. Who doesn’t regret it?”
“But now the current one is really handsome. No one in this circle can compare to him, but his family background is too far behind.”
“No matter where the other person comes from, he has also made great achievements in other fields. As an artist, not everyone can match his looks, figure, and talent.”
“If you didn’t seize the opportunity, you didn’t seize the opportunity. I had the courage to cooperate with Huo Yu before he became prominent. Family background and other things are not as important as sincerity and mutual support, so there’s no point in regretting it.”
“Now the only other family in Beijing besides the Xue family is the Huo family. It’s not impossible to surpass the Xue family in the future.”
“In that case, Mr. Xue is indeed selfless.”
“It is a mutual benefit. The Xue family has always been kind to others, and they’ve done a lot of good deeds in charity lately.”
“It’s all for the young master. By the way, is the young master of the Xue family here?”
Everyone looked around but didn’t see any clues.
Compared to the restrained and polite discussion on-site, the online discussion was much more lively and unrestrained.
[Master Huo and Master Xue have such figures, oh oh oh oh oh, Mommy asked me why my screen is wet.]
[My younger brother also has a super good figure. He’s 180cm tall and has the golden ratio. Even in the group photo, he was looking so handsome and in sync with the other two people.]
[When the three of them stand together there’s no need to compare their outfits. Except for my younger brother’s bow tie, which is red, everything else is exactly the same.]
[The habit of being embarrassed comes back again. Isn’t it true that high-end outfits like those worn by wealthy and powerful men often cost six or seven figures? Can this also hit the mark?]
[The main reason is that both families are good-looking and wearing the same formal clothes. They really look like a family.]
[Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Why is Mr. Xue so gentle to ‘W’? This look… is too gentle and doting, isn’t it?]
[If I remember correctly, there have been scandals between these two. Right?]
[Yes, what happened with Qiu Qi last time was that Mr. Xue helped my younger brother. There were indeed scandals at that time, and Mr. Xue’s eyes at that time too were gentle and caring.]
[Damn it, can’t believe it! But my younger brother and Mr. Xue are also a good match.]
[My younger brother is indeed handsome, but being able to attract these two powerful people at the same time is too unbelievable, right? No novel would dare to be written like this.]
[I’m going, everyone, head next door and watch the video. Mr. Xue is indeed too gentle and caring towards my brother.]
[He dared to touch someone else’s bow tie with his hand? Hey, my husband is here.]
[It’s a pity that Huo Yu’s face can’t be seen from this angle. He always looks cold, so maybe he can be cooled down now, right?]
[What kind of Shura field is this? I-so-love! Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah! ]
[Does anyone think that Huo Yu deliberately ordered the same outfit just to annoy his romantic rival?]
[Damn, I can already smell the bloodshed coming, but with the looks of these three people, I’d gladly watch 10,000 episodes of this intense drama.]
[…]
The Xue family had arrived. Mr. Xue, who hadn’t been out in public for many years, was sitting on the main seat. People kept coming over to ask him questions. Wen Yunzhi and Xue Chong were also not idle and were smiling as they entertained the guests. While they were busy entertaining the guests, Su Tang’s mother and he were by Xue Zhen’s side, talking to the old man.
Seeing Xia Wan and the others approaching from a distance, Wen Hengzhi couldn’t help but stand up.
As a well-known agent in the entertainment industry, Wen Hengzhi had always been busy with work. This was the first time she was meeting Xia Wan after he was found.
Seeing Xia Wan getting closer and closer, her eyes turned red unconsciously.
“Today is a big day, please stop crying,” Su Tang looked at his mother. “My aunt and grandpa have both cried. If you do it again, it will do no good except make them sad.”
“I’m excited, these are happy tears,” Wen Hengzhi said, wiping her eyes with the back of her hand. She smiled at Su Tang, her expression filled with a mixture of joy and relief.
“Forget it, give all your excitement to Sun Baijiang, we don’t need it,” Su Tang said. He was always dissatisfied with Wen Hengzhi’s infrequent visits throughout the year especially with how busy she has been for the past few days, and he couldn’t help but express his frustration.
“Oh, Tangtang,” Wen Hengzhi said with a sigh, “When I train a few capable assistants, I can spend more time with you in the future. I promise.”
“Yeah~” Su Tang smiled, “Do I still need you? Do I still need you to accompany me? I’m almost 21. I’ll find the right person like Ake and get married as soon as I do. If you want to come then, I ask you not to be our third wheel.”
“This darn kid,” Wen Hengzhi couldn’t help but curse.
But as Xue Wenxuan brought Xia Wan and Huo Yu closer, a smile appeared at the corners of Wen Hengzhi’s eyes again, reflecting a sense of relief and happiness at seeing them together.
Then, when Su Tang interrupted her, it brought a sense of relief to Wen Hengzhi’s heart, easing some of the pain she had been feeling.
“Ake.” She stretched out her hand to pull Xia Wan from a distance. Xia Wan also took two steps forward and called with a smile, “Auntie.”
Then he called out to Xue Zhen: “Grandpa.”
Xue Zhen was in his seventies, but he was always in good health, with a straight posture, and when he dressed up, he had a gentlemanly style that had accumulated over time.
He looked at Xia Wan with eyes that weren’t as serious as usual in front of people, with a gentle smile, he said, “Go talk to your aunt.”
Then he said to Huo Yu, “I heard them say that your driver just delivered something backstage, and it was wrapped very tightly. Didn’t I tell you not to prepare anything?”
“Xia Wan prepared it,” Huo Yu smiled and followed Xue Wenxuan to sit down.
Hearing this, Xue Zhen didn’t say anything, but the smile in his eyes brightened when he looked at Xia Wan.
He had always been strict with his eldest grandson since he was a child, but he couldn’t be harsh on his younger grandson. After so many years, that hadn’t changed.
“Ake, you don’t blame your aunt, do you?” Wen Hengzhi asked Xia Wan in a low voice. “Aunt never took the time to come and see you.”
“It’s my turn to visit my aunt,” Xia Wan said immediately, his voice filled with warmth and sincerity as he reassured Wen Hengzhi.
“Hmph!” Su Tang sat on one side, his expression indignant. “She is so busy that she doesn’t have time to see anyone.”
Maybe it was because his mother was there, but Su Tang’s words were full of childishness. Xia Wan and Wen Hengzhi couldn’t help but look at each other, sharing a moment of amusement before bursting into laughter together.
“Wanwan, Tangtang…” as they were talking, Fu Ling also arrived.
Because of Fu Ling’s family situation, Wen Yunzhi specially prepared a suit for him when customizing the dress, and arranged a seat at the head table with Su Tang and Xia Wan.
At this moment, he was wearing a formal dress and smiled, revealing two little tiger teeth. Finally spotting a familiar figure among the jewels and glittering surroundings, he couldn’t help but rush over.
Following behind him were Shen Yan and Shen Xing.
Shen Xing still had a cold face, but he was very polite when meeting his elders. Meanwhile, Shen Yan wore a smile on his face, appearing like a gentle gentleman, but his eyes darkened a little unconsciously when he saw Su Tang.
Su Tang didn’t look at him. He was talking to Fu Ling with his head raised, engrossed in their conversation. Shen Yan’s eyes paused on the side of Su Tang’s face for a moment, noticing his indifference, and then the smile on Shen Yan’s face gradually faded as he observed the scene.
Their seats were on the second table. Shen Yan sat very close to Huo Yu, and he could just see Su Tang’s figure out of the corner of his eye.
All the guests have arrived, and the lights on the stage are turned on.
In the midst of everyone’s attention, Xue Chong and Wen Yunzhi helped Mr. Xue onto the stage.
“Today is a happy day for our Xue family. Thank you all for taking the time to come,” Mr. Xue said, adjusting the microphone. The initial sadness has passed, and the old man’s voice was full of joy. “It has been eighteen years. With everyone’s help, we finally found our Ake.”
Although they had known it for a long time, the audience immediately started cheering and congratulating. The reporters’ cameras were constantly clicking, and several authorized platforms were broadcasting the live event simultaneously.
“The reason for holding this press conference,” the old man continued, “is to share our joy with everyone, and to express our heartfelt thanks to everyone for your care and efforts for finding our child over the years.”
Xue Zhen nodded, looked down, then bent down and bowed to everyone.
Behind him, Wen Yunzhi and Xue Chong also bent down.
When he stood up again, in the reporters’ lenses, the old man’s eyes were already faintly red, and Wen Yunzhi’s eyes were even redder.
“Of course,” Xue Zhen adjusted his mood and continued, “Not only has everyone here contributed to our Xue family, but also many caring people, members of the general public, and kind-hearted individuals who have anonymously lent their support. Therefore, today I also take this opportunity to announce that in order to express our gratitude, the Xue family will build a large natural plant museum on the old house donated by the Huo family, which will be open to the public free of charge.”
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a burst of warm applause.
Many people glanced at the main table, wondering whether the very unfamiliar boy sitting there was the young master.
But soon someone familiar with the matter denied it, pointing out that the man was the roommate of the young master of the Su family, Fu Ling.
At the same time, the excitement on the Internet reached its peak at this moment.
[The young man with tiger teeth at the main table, who may be mistaken for the young master, is actually not the young master, according to internal news.]
[The real young master will definitely appear at the end, and he’s probably waiting backstage right now.]
[Ah, the botanical garden! Honestly, there are plenty of zoos around, but a good botanical garden is truly a timely help.]
[The Xue family has been doing a lot of charity work in recent years. They’ve contributed quite a bit. The roads in the old district where my home is were built by their family.]
[Our school library was also donated by them.]
[It’s said that the library was distributed to more than 100 schools in one go. It’s really amazing.]
[Good deeds bring good karma, so it’s no surprise the young master of the Xue family came back unscathed.]
[Upstairs, How do you know he’s unscathed?]
[Bah, Bah, Bah, he has to be okay.]
Xue Chong and Wen Yunzhi stood silently behind Xue Zhen.
Xue Zhen spoke concisely. After discussing the botanical garden, his demeanor softened:
“Today, my young grandson is present. It’s time for him to join us on stage, meet the elders, and express his gratitude to everyone.”
Following his words, he gazed at the audience, with Wen Yunzhi and Xue Chong simultaneously directing smiling and tearful glances as well.
Surprised, everyone turned their attention in the direction they were gazing, unable to conceal their curiosity.
Bathed in the bright light, Xue Wenxuan with a hint of excitement on his face and stood up from his seat, gently taking Xia Wan’s hand in his own smaller one.
Together, they embarked on a journey up the steps to the high platform, the audience’s eyes following their every move.
