"Dad, what’s going on?"
Seeing the reaction on Lin Yongzheng’s face, Lin Qingcheng was a bit surprised and asked in astonishnt.
Sigh~
Lin Yongzheng glanced at the door, then exhaled deeply.
However.
The look of shock on his face did not diminish in the slightest.
"Gu WanYin, on the surface, is just the leader of the National Security Bureau Superpower Group, your boss!"
Lin Yongzheng said gravely to Lin Qingcheng, "But her real identity is extrely complex and mysterious. She is incredibly powerful! No one knows her true strength because very few have seen her in action! Rumor has it she cos from the Central Continent!"
"Is that so?"
It was the first ti Lin Qingcheng had heard such a secret, and he was taken aback.
"This should be true! You must know, the Luuo Family and Dongfang Family, who are much stronger than our Lin Family, their Family Head personally invited Gu WanYin, and was still declined!"
Lin Yongzheng nodded solemnly, "I didn’t expect you, oblivious to the heights of the sky and depths of the earth, dared to invite her!"
"But... Group Leader Gu said she’d consider it!"
Lin Qingcheng’s face grew sowhat unnatural, frowning as he spoke.
Lin Yongzheng shook his head and sighed, "That’s just Fou Yan. Even your grandpa doesn’t have enough face to invite her! Of course, with people of such status, who knows what they’re thinking? She might just show up!"
Lin Qingcheng looked rather embarrassed, and his hope was fading quickly.
Having said that, Lin Yongzheng was already up, stepping away, with Lin Zhenxiu standing up as well.
At this mont.
An elderly man in his seventies, dressed in traditional Chinese attire, walked in surrounded by many people.
"It’s really Zhou He!"
So of the wealthy individuals who had arrived early exclaid in surprise upon seeing the elderly man.
"Elder Zhou!"
"Elder Zhou..."
Many people stepped forward to greet him with smiles.
"Old Sir Lin, I’m here to celebrate your birthday! It’s a rare visit, I hope you’ll forgive !"
Zhou He first exchanged pleasantries with Lin Zhenxiu, then looked at Lin Shuhan and said, "It’s thanks to Nephew Shuhan that I could co to congratulate you!"
"Haha... You’re too kind, Elder Zhou, please, have a seat!"
Lin Zhenxiu didn’t bother to delve into whether Zhou He was sincerely there to celebrate, or if it was because of Lin Shuhan.
And amidst all this, Lin Dian was the most pleased.
Because of his son, big shots like Zhou He ca all the way from Mizhou City.
And it wasn’t over yet!
After Zhou He, more high-ranking figures from Mizhou City arrived, giving Lin Dian’s family ample face.
This scenario also made Old Man Lin Zhenxiu proud.
After that.
Besides so wealthy and famous people from Mizhou City, more high-ranking figures from Yanjing ca, mostly due to Lin Zhenxiu’s face.
The entire family hall.
Was bustling, with many people chatting and laughing quietly.
Rather than a day for family reunion, it was more like a test of connections!
anwhile, only Lin Tian’s family remained cold and silent, ignored by everyone.
The main reason being.
Lin Zhenyu had little to no connections or deep friendships in Yanjing.
Even if he did, given his current situation, others wouldn’t visit him.
"Brother, should we leave?"
Lin Xiaoqing, seeing how lively the rest of the family was, bit her lip and said sadly.
Next to her, Lin Zhenyu and Xiao Lin felt a pang of heartache and guilt.
However, Lin Tian sat on the side, buried in his mobile phone, filled with dense ssages and many missed calls.
Because his phone was often on silent or turned off, he missed many ssages and calls.
"Xiaoqing, why rush off? Didn’t your brother say before, we still need Lin Jinhui’s family to apologize and for the family to give us a satisfactory explanation!"
Lin Tian smiled slightly, rubbed his sister’s head, and said with a smile, "Besides, so guests are about to arrive, specifically to visit ! Leaving like this won’t do!"
"Ah, soone’s coming to visit you, brother?"
Lin Xiaoqing’s eyes lit up with excitent.
"Of course, even if I don’t have the face, they’ll still respect my master’s face!"
Lin Tian casually joked with a laugh.
Tap tap~
Suddenly.
Two footsteps could be heard from outside the door, light and clear, instantly quieting the previously bustling hall.
All eyes naturally turned towards the door.
The first thing that caught everyone’s eyes was a girl dressed in a pure white Glazed Palace Dress.
Her long, jet-black hair cascaded down her back, and she wore white Thousand Layer Boots.
As she walked, she exuded an ethereal aura, as if an immortal had descended to the mortal realm.
Following the girl.
Was an elderly man in a gray robe, walking silently behind her with his hands naturally at his sides and head slightly bowed.
Jii Xiaoyao!
Why did she co?
Lin Tian imdiately recognized the girl, and his brow furrowed.
Previously, he had repeatedly and solemnly stated the cancellation of their engagent to Jii Xiaoyao.
The two of them were essentially unrelated by now.
If she ca solely to celebrate Grandpa Lin Zhenxiu’s birthday, so be it, that’s perfectly normal.
After all, the two families used to be allied.
"Bro, this young lady is so beautiful!"
Lin Xiaoqing couldn’t help but exclaim in wonder as she gazed at Jii Xiaoyao.
Lin Zhenyu and Xiao Lin were also taken aback; they didn’t recognize the girl.
Which made sense, considering they had been away from the family for so long, they barely knew any of the younger generation here!
"She’s Jii Xiaoyao!"
Lin Tian didn’t hide it and directly said, "The one who called off the engagent with !"
"Ah, it’s her!"
Lin Xiaoqing gasped quietly, then pouted, her gaze towards Jii Xiaoyao turning to dislike.
Lin Zhenyu and Xiao Lin exchanged a glance, both sighing lightly.
"Little Demon, why are you here?"
From the main seat, Lin Zhenxiu imdiately recognized the girl.
He had watched her grow up!
Moreover, she was an exceptionally outstanding girl, far exceeding Lin Shuhan in accomplishnts!
Back then, during a drunken conversation with Old Man Jii, they had unwisely arranged the engagent, and it was even when Lin Zhenyu didn’t have a girlfriend.
Old Man Jii agreed, not just because they were drinking, but also because Lin Zhenyu seed honest and hardworking, so his descendants couldn’t be much worse.
Yet.
Lin Zhenyu eloped with Xiao Lin!
The impact of this could not be avoided by the Jii Family either.
In such circumstances, the Lin Family was embarrassed to ntion the engagent, until later when Jii Xiaoyao proposed to annul it, Old Man Lin Zhenxiu agreed imdiately.
Even if Jii Xiaoyao hadn’t proposed it, he might have taken the initiative to annul the engagent!
Letting such a good girl marry into such a useless family?
Old Man Lin Zhenxiu simply couldn’t bear that!
"Grandpa Lin! I’ve co back, and with Mid-Autumn Festival approaching, I’m here to visit you!"
Jii Xiaoyao smiled pleasantly, oblivious to Lin Tian in the corner, she stepped forward confidently, bowing to Lin Zhenxiu and said, "And since I’ve heard today is Grandpa Lin’s seventieth birthday party, I’m here to indulge in the feast!"
"Hahahaha... Very good! No matter when you co, Grandpa Lin always welcos you!"
Lin Zhenxiu laughed heartily, quickly asking soone to arrange a seat for Jii Xiaoyao, and said, "Is your grandfather’s health well?"
"Thank you for your concern, Grandpa Lin, my grandfather is in good health!"
Having sat down, Jii Xiaoyao replied obediently.
Nearby, those who knew Jii Xiaoyao’s identity also stood up, going forward to chat with her.
