While Qu Lin and Yin Xun were talking, Fang Yao’s mother finally came out. She was the main character of this banquet, so when she appeared, the banquet immediately became more lively.

“Lin Chan never made such a big scene on her birthdays in the past. She’s always kept a low profile. Why is it such a big occasion this time?” someone whispered beside her.

It turned out that Fang Yao’s mother’s name was Lin Chan. Yin Xun raised her head and looked over. Lin Chan was wearing a light yellow gown as she slowly walked in. Her hair was only half tied up, and she was wearing expensive jewelry. She looked graceful and noble.

“Auntie is here.” Qu Lin gestured to Yin Xun with her chin. Then, she looked at Yin Xun’s wine-soaked gown and asked, “But what about your clothes? Why don’t we go change first before coming back? It won ‘t be good if Auntie sees you like this.”

However, before Yin Xun could reply, Lin Chan walked toward her.

“You are Miss Yin?” Lin Chan walked in front of Yin Xun and asked with a smile.

‘Yes, hello, Auntie. You can call me Yin Xun.” Yin Xun nodded politely. Her tone was neither servile nor overbearing as she replied calmly.

…..

“Thank you for coming to my birthday party. I’ll talk to you after the party is over. How about that?” Lin Chan looked at Yin Xun and said in surprise, “Your clothes are wet. Do you want to change?”

Yin Xun smiled and shook her head. “Thank you, Auntie. It’s almost dry. There’s no need.’

Lin Chan did not insist on her changing her clothes. Instead, she only made the offer. It was obvious that she was just asking out of courtesy and did not really want to help her.

Yin Xun did not want to make things difficult for herself, so she politely refused.

“Alright then.” Lin Chan smiled and nodded. She then said to Qu Lin, “Linlin, help me take care of Miss Yin.”

Qu Lin smiled and agreed. “Okay, don’t worry, Auntie.”

Lin Chan took a deep look at Yin Xun, then turned around and left.

Looking at Lin Chan’s back, Yin Xun was puzzled. Could it be that Lin Chan had come just to say these few words to her?

Lin Chan looked gentle and beautiful, giving people a comfortable feeling. Yin Xun thought that since Lin Chan had invited her to a banquet—and a birthday party at that—she must be interested in her project. Otherwise, why would she call her all the way here?

However, it would already be very late when the banquet ended. Did they still have to talk at night? Was it not better to talk at the office or somewhere quiet? Was it to see her reaction?

Yin Xun had many questions in her mind. However, Lin Chan was currently busy with something and could not discuss matters with her. She could not ask Qu Lin about this either, so she could only wait until it was over.

Just as Yin Xun was staring fixedly at Lin Chan, Ding Shan limped back.

“Hey, why is Ding Shan suddenly limping? Wasn’t she fine just now?” Qu Lin suddenly asked in confusion.

Yin Xun followed Qu Lin’s gaze and raised her eyebrows slightly. She did not expect Ding Shan to change into a new gown in such a short period of time. She was no longer as disheveled as before. It seemed she had just sprained her ankle and had changed into a pair of shorter high heels. Her walking was a little unsteady.

“The floor of the bathroom is very slippery. Perhaps she accidentally fell,” Yin Xun replied casually.

“Hehe, serves her right,” Qu Lin said.

As if sensing Yin Xun and Qu Lin’s gazes, Ding Shan suddenly turned to look at them. Qu Lin snorted and turned her head away. Yin Xun tilted her head slightly and smiled at Ding Shan.

Seeing Yin Xun’s smile, Ding Shan’s expression changed and she immediately turned away.

Yin Xun ignored her and continued to watch Lin Chan as she made her speech and waited for the banquet to end.

When the banquet was about to end, Yin Xun finally knew the true purpose of Lin Chan’s banquet.

Lin Chan called Qu Lu over in front of everyone present. Everyone’s eyes were on the two of them.

Lin Chan smiled and said, “Everyone, since it’s my birthday, let me announce another piece of good news. Qu Lu, this child…” Lin Chan held Qu Lu’s hand and pulled her closer. She said, “She will be engaged to my son, Fang Yao. From now on, she will be the Young Mistress of the Fang Family.”

Qu Lu lowered her head, which was flushed red. She did not say a word throughout the entire process.

Lin Chan smiled. “This child is too easily embarrassed.”

It was a big deal that the Fang Family had confirmed the Young Mistress. There were many young girls present, and more than half of them had come for Fang Yao. If they could become the Young Mistress of the Fang family, their status would rise in the future. Everyone had dressed up gorgeously for the struggle.

Qu Lin did not expect Lin Chan to acknowledge Qu Lu as her daughter-in-law.

She asked Yin Xun in surprise, “Sister Yin, what are you going to do now?’

Yin Xun, ‘…What does this have to do with me?’
