311 Banquet
Ji Lingchen never expected that his little wife would make the first move before he could even do anything to the Lin family. She even caused the Lin family to fall from grace.
“Xiaonuan, how could you risk going against the Lin Corporation alone?”
Fang Xiaonuan said, “Hubby, I’m not alone. I have two other accomplices. One is Xiaoyu, and the other is Xiaowen.” She directly exposed her friends’ involvement.
Ji Lingchen’s expression was serious, and Fang Xiaonuan’s chest tightened. Could it be that her actions had brought trouble to Ji Corporation?
She quickly hugged her husband and asked weakly, “Hubby, did your kitten do something wrong?”
His little wife’s coquettish tone almost broke Ji Lingchen’s composure. He quickly steadied his serious expression and reprimanded, “What you did today was nonsense. I can use many ways to destroy him in the business world. Why did you have to offend a villain like him? What if he retaliates against you?”
Fang Xiaonuan kissed her husband on the cheek. “Hubby, calm down. I’m Mrs. Ji. He’s as timid as a mouse. He won’t dare to exact revenge on me!”
She also understood that her husband was angry because he was worried about her safety. “I’m good at fighting, so don’t worry about me.”
Ji Lingchen continued, “Next time, you should learn from Xiaoyu. Stab him in the back instead. Mr. Lin knew that someone called the police to arrest him, but he did not know that it was Xiaoyu who did it. He could only suffer in silence.’ But you and Xiaowen weren’t smart enough. He knew that you two were the ones who recorded the video. I won’t feel bad if Xiaowen suffers because he has thick skin, but what if someone hurts you?”
“I know how to fight, hubby,” Fang Xiaonuan replied.
“You only have two hands. Can you fight ten men?”
“Of course!”
Ji Lingchen was at a loss for words. ‘There’s really nothing I can do!’
In order to appease her husband, Fang Xiaonuan offered him a kiss. Ji Lingchen would not let this opportunity go, so he “taught” her a good lesson in bed.
…
The next day, Mr. Lin was released on bail. Seeing that his company was about to be destroyed, he quickly turned to his backer and said, “Boss, what should I do now that things have come to this? Liu Siyan is like a mad dog, biting down on Commissioner Xi and refusing to let go. We can’t hold on for much longer, and Fang Xiaonuan’s video is also about to bring down the company.”
The man he called ‘boss’ had white hair and was smoking a cigar. “Fang Xiaonuan? Ji Lingchen’s wife?”
“Yes, that’s her!” Mr. Lin said.
“A little girl caused all this? I’m really curious about her.” The old man laughed.
“Boss, how can Lin Corporation survive this situation?” Mr. Lin asked.
“Mr. Chen’s birthday banquet is in five days. It’s a good opportunity,” the old man said.
“Thank you for your advice, boss!” Mr. Lin bowed respectfully.
…
That night, at the Ji residence, Old Master Ji received a video call from Mr. Chen.
Mr. Chen said, “I’m having a birthday party this Saturday. Bring your family, especially your daughter-in-law who can play more than a thousand rounds of Anipop. I haven’t met her!”
“My second daughter-in-law is called Xiaonuan,” Old Master Ji said. “You only remember that she’s good at playing Anipop.”
“Anyway, bring your family. Don’t leave anyone behind!”
Old Master Ji agreed. He left the room and was about to look for Fang Xiaonuan. He wanted to bring up this subject with her. The couple was lying down. Ji Lingchen was the one who opened the door. Who knew that Fang Xiaonuan would reject his invitation? This made Old Master Ji sad. If Fang Xiaonuan did not go, how could he show off his daughter-in-law to Mr. Chen?
The next morning, after Ji Lingchen went to work, Old Master Ji looked for Fang Xiaonuan. “Xiaonuan, why don’t you want to accompany me to the banquet?”
“Dad, I’ve never attended one before. I’m afraid of embarrassing myself,” Fang Xiaonuan replied.
Old Master Ji finally understood his daughter-in-law’s point of view. “You’ll go with me. It won’t be embarrassing!”
Fang Xiaonuan still did not agree to go.
Old Master Ji rolled his eyes. “Xiaonuan, your love rival might be there. Don’t say I didn’t warn you,” he said.
Fang Xiaonuan was taken aback. Was Lin Rou going too? “I don’t consider her a love rival. I’m not going.”
“Maybe she’s not your love rival, but you might still have more love rivals you don’t know about yet! Lingchen never told you about this, right? Before you, Lingchen wouldn’t listen to anyone, but when it came to that person… If she wanted something, he would definitely relent. Those two haven’t seen each other for a long time. Aren’t you afraid…”
Fang Xiaonuan fell silent. She would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one off. “Dad, can I bring a knife to the banquet?”
Old Master Ji panicked. “I don’t think you should bring a knife.”
…
On Saturday, the Chen family’s banquet was crowded with guests.
In order to outdo her love rivals, Fang Xiaonuan put on a custom-made gown. The skirt of the bluish-purple gown was inlaid with a circle of shattered diamonds. Her dress sparkled in the dazzling light with every step she took.
