âYour presence alone is a great gift,â Lin Qingchen said with a smile. âMiss Si, this way, please.â
He opened the private room door, âDad, Iâve brought Miss Si over first.
Huanhuan, come here.â
Lin Jihuan was somewhat reluctant, slowly lifting her head.
Her gaze suddenly froze.
Si Fuqingâs eyes curved into a smile as she waved a greeting, âHello.â
Lin Jihuan abruptly stood up, completely stunned, âIâm fine, no no no, hello,
1â¦â
âMr. Lin mentioned youâre a Mousse?â Si Fuqing approached and patted Lin Jihuan on the head. âI didnât bring a gift today, but Iâll send you something later. How does that sound?â
Lin Jihuan was dazed, âI, I am, Iââ
Suddenly, she leaped up like a rabbit, rushing out of the room, her face still flushed.
After calming down in the restroom for a few minutes, Lin Jihuan pulled out her phone, tremblingly posting in the fan forum.
[Sisters, I saw Qingqing at a wedding! She looks even better in person than on screen! Iâm dead, wuwuwu Iâm so embarrassed I couldnât withstand her beauty and ran out.]
Si Fuqingâs forum had over a million fans, with daily posts and replies in large numbers.
Lin Jihuanâs post was bombarded with comments within seconds.
[?? A Shen family wedding, sis, you must be wealthy, only Sijiu Cityâs elite can get in.]
[Wealthy sister, stick with us.]
[Can you take a photo? Please, the mediaâs shots are too blurry.]
Lin Jihuan clenched her fists, cheering herself on, âYou can do this.â
After fixing her hair in the mirror, she left the restroom.
âLook, thatâs my younger cousin,â Lin Wansu said, spotting Lin Jihuan. âSheâs always been a princess, so itâs understandable she doesnât like me.â Xu Jianian glanced over, pausing, âIâve never seen her before.â
âShe flunked the middle school exams and went to Northern State, now sheâs in her senior year,â Lin Wansu explained. âProbably not doing well in studies, but even if she fails the college entrance exam, my uncle can still bring her back to Sijiu City, so sheâs born lucky.â
Xu Jianian listened intently.
âIâll go check on my uncle,â Lin Wansu put down her glass. âAlthough we canât sit with them, the necessary courtesies are very important.â
âGo ahead, Iâll wait here,â Xu Jianian smiled.
Lin Wansu followed Lin Jihuan.
As Lin Jihuan entered the private room, Lin Wansu followed closely behind.
The entrance to the private room had a vestibule design, with a coat rack and changing area nearby.
Seeing Lin Wansu, Lin Jihuan frowned, âWhat do you want?â
âThe wedding is about to start, I came to greet uncle,â Lin Wansu smiled.
âCousin Jihuan, I know you donât like me, but weâre still family.â
âWhoâs your cousin?â Lin Jihuan scoffed. âItâs enough if you pretend online, and donât bother with pretending in front of me. You think Iâm a man to fall for your act?â
Lin Wansu sighed, âMiss Jihuan, I mean no harm, I just want to greet uncle.â
Lin Jihuan suddenly smiled meaningfully, âFine, come in.â Lin Wansu couldnât grasp Lin Jihuanâs attitude.
But since Lin Jihuan said so, she complied respectfully.
Upon entering, Lin Bojianâs voice was heard.
âThanks to Miss Si for this project,â Lin Bojian rarely sounded so pleased. âMiss Si is truly a lifesaver for our Lin family, and from now on, sheâs our honored guest. Qingchen, make sure sheâs well taken care of.â
Si Fuqing responded, âYouâre too kind, Uncle Lin.â
âNo, no,â Lin Bojian waved off, âthis project is worth billions, donât be too modest.â
Lin Wansuâs smile froze.
She couldnât believe her eyes, seeing Si Fuqing sitting next to Lin Qingchen, her brain immediately turned off.
Lin Wansu knew all too well how difficult it was to approach Lin Qingchen.
So why was Lin Qingchen now serving tea to Si Fuqing?
Has she lost her mind?!
Lin Baijian noticed Lin Wansuâs direct gaze towards Si Fuqing and asked, âMiss
Si, do you know my niece?
There were too many descendants in the Lin family for him to keep track of all their names.
Si Fuqingâs expression remained unchanged, devoid of mockery or disdain, her voice even and calm, âI do not know her.â
âOh..â Lin Baijian nodded, his gaze turning somewhat displeased towards Lin Wansu, âThen what are you doing standing here? Shouldnât you be with your family? Why have you come here? ?
