Chapter 175: I Prefer Giving Gifts
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The Lin Group’s anniversary celebration was scheduled to be held in Old Madam Lin’s manor. This manor was originally the Lin Group’s old site. The old lady was nostalgic and built the current manor on the original address.
Firstly, it was to commemorate her decades of hardships in the business world. Secondly, it was to let future generations remember the Lin Group’s difficult journey.
The manor was a sparsely populated suburb. Just from the green area alone, it was comparable to a large golf course. The entire manor was in an American style, with red and white tones. From a distance, the entire building complex looked like an inverted triangle. There were six fountains on both sides of the entrance, and an artistic statue was placed at the main entrance of the manor. When one approached, one could see the magnificence of the manor’s main entrance.
All kinds of luxury cars were neatly arranged in the spacious green space, and the guests of the banquet were entering the hall of the manor from the left and right sides of the sculpture.
There were also many media reporters tonight. They were all from the Lin Group’s exclusive team. From what they could remember, the Lin Group had not held such a grand gathering for a long time. The scale of the Old Madam’s birthday banquet was far from this spectacular. It felt like more than half of the wealthy people in Jinchuan had come. Even the mother and daughter of the Ye family had only seen such a grand gathering for the first time.
They felt that the guests present were all dressed luxuriously, but they were also extremely low-key. When no one was paying attention, Ye Zhenzhen secretly checked the watch on a man’s wrist. It was a priceless treasure.
Ye Zhenzhen’s eyes were almost dazzled by these things.
As Old Madam Lin was afraid that the two of them would embarrass themselves again, Old Madam Lin kept them by her side the entire time and instructed them not to speak as much as possible and to maintain a sincere smile at all times.
The Old Madam was wearing a dark green cheongsam and a beige embroidered shawl. She looked especially energetic and actually looked kind.
As for the mother and daughter of the Ye family, in order to be invisible, they did not dress up exaggeratedly. Tonight, they also walked in a simple and low-key style. Ye Zhenzhen was wearing an apricot embroidered long dress. Perhaps she had lightened her makeup, but this was the most successful act she had ever put on in public. Ye Weiyin was also wearing a simple white velvet dress without any decorations. However, it was very attractive because of its simplicity.
Many of the guests had long heard of the Ye family’s mother and daughter’s fame, but they had never seen them in person. They had thought that they would be able to watch a good show, but this time, the mother and daughter seemed to be performing quite well. They didn’t know if Lin Wanli would be able to come and crush them.
At the same time, in a hotel room in Jinchuan, a man and a woman were engaged in an ambiguous relationship under the crimson light.
The thin long-haired woman hooked the man’s chin and asked seductively, “Today is your fiancée’s big day. You actually have time to be lovey-dovey with me? You’re really dangerous.”
Zhou Tingyang flipped her over and pressed her down. He murmured, “I’m already here. Why? Are you chasing me away?”
“I’ll see how you’ll explain this to your fiancée.” The woman stroked Zhou Tingyang’s nose and smiled charmingly.
“I don’t need to explain to anyone. How can a woman with a heart as vicious as a snake be compared to you, who is as passionate as fire?” Zhou Tingyang took off his coat and threw it on the ground. He said, “Tonight, I want to be happy.
Who will care about those embarrassing things?”
Zhou Tingyang chose to betray Ye Zhenzhen at this moment. He felt a sense of satisfaction as if he had gotten his revenge.
As the distance between the man and the woman shortened, a passionate and intimate scene began in this room. It was not inferior to the scene in the manor at all.
In the manor, Ye Zhenzhen and Ye Weiyin had lost their awkwardness. In addition, their words were filled with guilt and admiration for Lin Wanli. This made the guests present believe that the two of them had changed because of Lin Wanli.
Especially Ye Zhenzhen. Every time a guest mentioned Lin Wanli in front of her or compared the two of them, Ye Zhenzhen would always say humbly, “I did overestimate myself in the past. I didn’t know my place. In the future, I will definitely study hard from Wanli and strive to become as dazzling and outstanding as her.”
Even a picky guest could not find her fault.
At this moment, the mother and daughter of the Ye family finally realized that they had used the wrong method in the past.
The guests at the scene also began to change their opinion of the mother and daughter. As long as they were humble, they would be pleasing to the eye. In addition, Lin Wanli had indeed forced the two of them a bit too ruthlessly recently. Some of the guests even felt a little sympathy and pity.
Most importantly, Lin Wanli was late for such an important occasion!
Although she had regained the right to speak in the Lin Group and successfully suppressed the Ye family’s mother and daughter, she had not won the final victory yet, right? Why did she start to act arrogantly?
In fact, Lin Wanli had her own reasons for doing so. In order to cooperate with the Ye family’s mother and daughter to act miserably, she had to establish her arrogant image of being unreasonable and unforgiving.
She had arrived early and was in the car. However, her gaze was fixed on Huo Jiuxiao.
Master Xiao was wearing a black suit with a black vest inside. On the lapel of his suit was an L-shaped brooch with diamonds and dark brown leather shoes.
He was clearly dressed in a simple outfit, but it couldn’t suppress the noble and intimidating aura he exuded. Oh right, tonight, he even combed his hair backwards. He was so handsome that passersby would look at him more.
Lin Wanli felt that she was going to be jealous tonight.
Therefore, she almost stared a hole in Master Xiao.
“Stop looking. No one will come close within a few meters.”
Lin Wanli held back her laughter and raised her hand, revealing the H-shaped diamond bracelet.
[I like the gift very much.]
“Song Huaishu asked me to buy it. He said that all women like this.”
[Liar.]
Lin Wanli directly exposed him.
[This is the first time you’ve given me a gift.]
Hearing this, Huo Jiuxiao laughed wantonly. He quickly said, “I prefer giving gifts. ”
This bracelet was put on by Master Xiao when Lin Wanli was trying on clothes yesterday.
Lin Wanli immediately covered her burning face and pouted in her heart.
[I won’t play with you anymore. It’s almost time. I’ll get out of the car first. If you’re too uncomfortable, come in later, okay?]
Before Huo Jiuxiao could reply, Lin Wanli fled.
The car was parked discreetly. Lin Wanli took advantage of the fact that there was no one around to switch to Lin Xueyi’s car.
“Why is your face so red?” Lin Xueyi saw Lin Wanli’s uncomfortable expression and quickly asked.
“I was teased by your son-in-law.” Lin Wanli pushed open the car door in embarrassment.
However, it had to be said that Lin Wanli’s management of her expression was very accurate. One second, she was still embarrassed, but the next second, she changed into the cold expression of a domineering daughter of a rich family….
