Lu Ning looked at her and guessed. “Could it be Lin Yi?”
Lin Ci nodded and picked it up.
“What?” she asked angrily.
Lin Yi’s voice was quite loud. “I’m not going to your birthday party today. There’s a banquet at home, so I can’t leave.”
“I didn’t even ask you to come!”
With that, she hung up.
Lin Yi:
Lin Yi smiled helplessly and put away his phone
Zhao Junli was shouting for him. “Little Yi! Come quickly! Call An’an and ask her why she isn’t here yet.”
Lin Yi walked over helplessly and looked at Zhao Junli. “Mom, why are you so worked up? This is her home, there’s no way she can’t find her way here.”
Zhao Junli looked at him reproachfully. “Tch, can’t you just ask? Girls like being remembered. Quick, call her and ask!”
Lin Yi sighed and took out his phone to call Lù Yue’an, but no one picked up. Lin Yi showed it to Zhao Junli. “Look, she isn’t picking up.”
Zhao Junli had no choice but to stop forcing him to do so. She watched Lin Yi and helped him adjust his bow tie. “Son, listen to me—do things properly this time. Although this banquet isn’t an official engagement ceremony, everyone knows about it. So, be good and don’t cause any trouble, do you hear me?
Lin Yi looked at Zhao Junli and realized that her hair had started to turn white.
He sighed and said, “Got it.”
“Good boy!’
Lin Yi watched as she turned around and went to her other things. She was as busy as everyone else at this event. Lin Yi stood aimlessly in the middle, like an outsider.
He slowly walked to the corner and sat on a sofa there. He looked at the anxious group of people running around the banquet hall and suddenly felt a tinge of sadness.
About half an hour later, Li Yue’an arrived.
When Lin Yi saw her, Lù Yue’an had gone to greet Zhao Junli.
“Auntie, sorry to trouble you today. You must be very busy.”
Zhao Junli smiled and looked at her, her eyes smiling. “It’s no trouble at all.
Anything for you, dear.”
Lù Yue’an smiled shyly. “Thank you, Auntie.”
“Not at all.” Zhao Junli raised her hand and waved Lin Yi over.
“Auntie is busy, so you can talk to Lin Yi.”
Zhao Junli turned around and left. Lin Yi looked at Lù Yue’an. “Where did you go?”
Lù Yue’an smiled. “1 went out to play. I wasn’t feeling too good.”
The two of them stood close to each other, and Lin Yi suddenly caught a whiff
of something.
“What’s that smell? Do you smell it?”
An expression of unease flashed across Lù Yue’an’s face, and she immediately looked at him. “No, Brother Lin Yi, you must be imagining things. I’ll go change first. It’s been hard on you.”
After saying that, she turned around and left without waiting for Lin Yi to speak.
Lin Yi looked at her back curiously. When he looked down, he saw some orange stains on her white shoes…
Lu Ning and Lin Ci brought Lu Jingzhi along and headed directly to the Lin household.
The birthday banquet was held at the Lin family’s house. When they arrived, the villa was already filled with cars of all sizes; they were all luxury brand cars.
Lin Ci could not help but smack her lips. “Tsk, tsk. What poor taste. All they know is to splurge, they haven’t the faintest idea how to choose a car.”
As she spoke, she brought Lu Ning and Lu Jingzhi in.
Most of the guests had arrived. When the two of them entered, they attracted a lot of attention, especially Lu Ning.
This was the first time she had shown up in their circles after leaving the Lù family.
Everyone looked at her in confusion, and there were naturally some jealous and dissatisfied gazes.
Lu Ning pretended not to notice it, but Lin Ci was extremely excited..
