If Lu Ningshengâs dress and jewelry were even slightly lacking, the entertainment reporters would have immediately crafted a three-thousand -word essay, suggesting that the Shen family regarded her merely as a tool for childbirth.
Hence, before the event, the Shen family strictly prohibited any entertainment industry personnel from entering.
Lin Wansu was allowed entry because she bore the Lin surname.
Though not a direct descendant of the Lin family, she was at least part of the circle.
Lin Wansu approached the Lin familyâs table and walked over.
There, Lin Jihuan joyously clung to Lin Qingchenâs arm, âBig brother, itâs been a while. I bought you a gift.â
Lin Qingchen smiled, âYou still remember your brother after two years in
Northern State.â
âOf course,â Lin Jihuan responded. âMy brother is a genius in neurology. My friends all admire you, but they donât know Iâm your sister.â Lin Bojian kept a straight face, âWhat about mine?â
âYou donât have one,â Lin Jihuan, hands behind her back, made a face. âA backward parent.â
Lin Bojian pretended to swat at her.
Seizing the moment, Lin Wansu stepped forward, âUncle, cousin Qingchen, cousin Jihuan.â
Lin Qingchen nodded slightly as a greeting.
Lin Jihuan was cold, not even glancing at Lin Wansu.
Lin Wansu quickly sensed Lin Jihuanâs hostility towards her. She simply smiled, unoffended, âI have to go pick someone up. Iâll come back later.â
She hadnât seen Lin Jihuan for a long time but knew Lin Jihuan had always had a princess temperament.
She didnât need to confront Lin Jihuan directly; retreating and showing weakness was enough.
Dealing with a princess like Lin Jihuan, she had many tactics.
Lin Bojian waved her off, âGo ahead.â
Lin Qingchen pondered, then asked, âYou donât like her.â
âBig brother, sheâs terrible,â Lin Jihuan whispered. âSheâs always stepping on my baby on the internet, competing for attention. Of course, I donât like her.â âYour baby?â Lin Qingchen frowned.
âItâs Qingqing,â Lin Jihuan boasted. âLook, my desk mate got me our babyâs photo album!â
Lin Qingchen fell silent for a moment: âI see. Later, Iâll introduce you to someone, get to know them.â
âWho?â Lin Jihuan became wary. âI just turned eighteen. Youâre not planning to set me up, are you?â
âWhat are you talking about?â Lin Qingchen chuckled. âYouâll see. Sheâs on her way. Consider it my gift to you.â
âOh.â Lin Jihuan hugged the photo album. âBig brother, let me introduce you to my idol! â
Lin Wansu went outside to meet Xu Jianian.
She had Xu Jianian fully disguised, entering as her boyfriend so he wouldnât be stopped by security.
After all, there were many media outside the banquet hall, and being photographed would be problematic.
âJianian, my younger cousin is also here,â Lin Wansu complained. âI donât know why, but she doesnât like me, even though we used to play together.â âWhy doesnât she like you? She -â Xu Jianian suddenly stopped.
âWhatâs wrong?â Lin Wan Su possessively looped her arm through his. âWhat are you looking at?â
Just then, the surrounding media suddenly became excited, turning their cameras in one direction.
âItâs Si Fuqing! Thatâs her nanny carâs license plate.â
âQuick, take photos! Weâve got our KPI for today.â
The journalists knew Si Fuqing was close to Lu Ningsheng, who had even turned down âFashion Ladyâ for her.
Si Fuqingâs appearance at the wedding was not surprising.
Lin Wansuâs expression hardly concealed her disdain and mockery.
Surely Si Fuqing didnât think that by associating with Lu Ningsheng, she too could marry into a wealthy family?
