With the most sought after classical musician playing, soft music emanated across the massive ballroom where more than a hundred people in a black-tie dress crowded. They formed small groups as they socialize with each other while waiting for the event to officially start. Everyone looked dazzling and elegant on their own suits and dresses but at this moment, none was actually paying attention to the dress.

This is a once in a lifetime event where all members of the Mo family gathered in one room. Even though people were all socializing, their eyes were vigilant for the right moment to be able to talk to one of the Mos. As expected it was not that easy because they were too many eyeing for the opportunity.

The music continued to play, food and drinks were served none stop. There are others who completely gave up trying for the Mos and instead aimed for the other big CEO's, building as much connection as possible. This was just a normal norm in the business and political industry.

When the clock finally turned to 7 pm, Mo Chendong excused himself from his friends after the organizer came to remind him of the time. Since he was the previous Chairman of the Mo Empire and head of the Mo Household, it was only right for him to start the event since Mo Laotian was going to appear later with his wife, Daniel Sullen Mo.

Walking towards the front, the music stopped and people automatically shut their mouths and followed his figure. The MC briefly introduced Mo Chendong and receiving claps from the guests, Mo Chendong received the mic. He momentarily looked at the audience with a smile.

"Good evening ladies and gentlemen," Mo Chendong started, people nodded in acknowledgment.

People from the media who are also wearing the proper attire had their audio recording quickly turned On while taking as many pictures they needed for their report in their mini cameras. Since this was a formal event, a video recording or camera device that was bigger than a small purse was not allowed inside the venue.

Media reporters, journalists, anyone related were also limited to one from each agency. Although everyone known was most probably invited, the event was still exclusive because of the strict rules. A week before the event, Laura Mo made it so that those who were to attend would undergo a basic background check and needed to be put on the list after before they could take part in the celebration.

Laura Mo made sure that everything will be safe especially for Daniel who had suffered enough after knowing that Daniel nearly died in Hawaii, plus discovering that they already lost a grandchild. Laura wanted to make sure that everyone who was attending was on the list and already gone through a background check.

"Thank you so much for joining us tonight, for this wonderful celebration. You must all know already that my eldest son is now a married man and with a child with his wife, our tonight's birthday celebrant, Daniel Sullen Mo." Mo Chendong added and people briefly clapped their hands at the mention of Daniel's name.

"But before we go into that. I would like to say my piece into how this suddenly happened and clarify the case regarding our family's recent scandal even though this night was clearly about enjoying. However, everything has not been fully explained from our side and many had become confused and doubtful,"

"Truthfully even us, we members of both families were surprised to discover that Laotian and Daniel had married and weeks later suddenly already expecting a baby. My wife and I are always very insistent into having both Laotian and Hanlu getting married but gentlemen and ladies out there all know both had been stubborn." Mo Chendong joked and viewed those men and woman who had been once asked to blind date either Hanlu and Laotian in the past.
