Fang Xi froze on the spot and didnât dare to move. All her blood chilled in her veins as she just let Xi Cheng hug like that.
Fang Xiâs tears fell uncontrollably. Seven years⦠Xi Cheng hadnât said such warm words to her in all the seven years they shared.
âLin Yu, your younger cousin Lin Zhuâs happiness depends on you. Look at all the vounc and talented men here. lust Dick one for herâno. no. we canât iust pick one. Pick someone who can help Xi Cheng, and Lin Zhu can be a good helper for you in the future. That way, you and Lin Zhu can work and be a family together. Wouldnât that be great?â Lin Yuâs aunt said with a smile and pushed a heavily made-up Lin Zhu before her.
Lin Zhu looked at Lin Yu presumptively. Lin Yu couldnât even bother to frown and scolded, âAuntie, Iâm not a pimp, and Lin Zhu isnât a prostitute. I know our Lin family has declined, but we havenât fallen to such lows, have we? If you guys had more self-respect and self-love, people wouldnât look down on you as well as me like this!â
She continued, âThis is Madam Xiâs birthday banquet. If you canât do me credit, then return home quietly. Uncle and my cousinsâ businesses and jobs will all be lost if you ruin my relationship with the Xi family!â
Lin Yuâs aunt froze at that. Lin Zhu rolled her eyes and scoffed, âWeâre just asking you to introduce me. Thatâs not a big deal. Who knows, what if I meet someone more outstanding than Xi Cheng? Then, I can also help out, and you wouldnât have to be so tired. Or are you afraid that Iâll steal your limelight?â
Lin Yu sneered, âYour goading is useless against me, so I suggest you put away that attitude. I didnât let you in because I feared you would embarrass me. The tastes of the wealthy young men here arenât so bad that theyâll be interested in someone like you. Theyâre not fools!â
âLeave immediately if you guys still want me to give you aid and benefits! Otherwise, donât go blaming me for turning against you! You guys had better think carefully about who the most important person in the Lin family is now!â
âYouâIâ Lin Zhu wanted to argue, but her mother stopped her in time. Even though they were used to being arrogant, they knew how important the Xi familyâand, in turn, Lin Yuâwere to the Lin family.
Lin Yuâs aunt gritted her teeth. âAlright, of course, we wouldnât want to offend you. However, we came here with a gift for Madam Xi and the moneyââ
âHmph!â Lin Yu snorted coldly, interrupting her aunt before she could finish. Lin Yu took out her phone and transferred 10,000 dollars over to them. âDonât try and ask me for more; your gift canât cost more than this figure!â
Lin Yuâs aunt was offended and wanted to say something, but seeing Lin Yuâs glacial expression, she had no choice but to swallow her words. In their current position, they had no choice but to concede! Their very livelihoods were dependent on this young ladyâs whims and mercy.
She grabbed her daughter, Lin Zhu, and pulled her along as she reluctantly walked out. Lin Yu stared at their leaving figures and felt a sense of helplessness rise from the bottom of her heart.
The Xi familyâs butler came over, and Lin Yu called out to him, âMr. Zhou, thank you! â
Mr. Zhou was slightly confused and hurriedly replied, âMiss Lin, Iâ
Lin Yu smiled wryly and explained, âThank you, Mr. Zhou, for bringing my aunt and cousin to the side hall. You saved my dignity.â Mr. Zhou couldnât help but look a little sheepish, thinking, âItâs the Xi familVs dignity I wanted to save, not yours.â
âMr. Zhou, I have a favor to ask,â Lin Yu said softly, tears in her eyes.
âIâm at your command,â Mr. Zhou quickly and respectfully responded.
Lin Yu calmly stated, âWhen anyone from the Lin family comes to visit in the future, regardless of whether Iâm here or not, tell them Iâm not and give them my phone number. Mr. Zhou, I donât mind telling you that theyâre only looking for me to ask for money or do something for them. Iâm willing to help them as much as I can, but I canât damage the Xi familyâs reputation, so please do me this favor, Mr. Zhou. Tell the servants and staff to do so as well.â
âYes, okay, Young Madam. Iâll give them the order immediately,â Mr. Zhou replied even more respectfully than before and even addressed her as â Young Madam.â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Lin Yu pretended she didnât notice the change and smiled at him before turning around and walking towards the banquet hall. She instantly stopped in her tracks when she reached the hallâs entrance because she saw a face from her nightmares.
â Why is she here? Whatâs she doing here? Itâs already been so long; has she been spending all this time licking her wounds, and now sheâs here to snatch Xi Cheng away? Lin Yu thought fearfully.
âXi Cheng has already begun to accept me; just now, heâd spoken to me amiably and even discussed things with me. As long as Iâm patient enough and have enough forbearance, Xi Chengs heart will eventually return to me!â
However, Fang Xi showed up; she was here. âIfXi Cheng sees FangXi, all my hard work will go to waste! It definitely will; I know it!â Lin Yu panicked.. â What should I do? What should I do?
