Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Ming Yao was not the kind of person who liked to talk nonsense.

The fact that she would ask such a question proved that it had something to do with Lin Shanchu.

The smile on Lin Shanchu’s face gradually disappeared.

Cheng Fanjing wouldn’t come with Huo Xunzhou again, would she?

Just as this thought popped into Lin Shanchu’s mind, she heard someone say, “The person from the Huo family is here too.” The person from the Huo family.

It was either Huo Chaosheng or Huo Xunzhou.

Lin Shanchu did not even need to turn her head and take a look as she already had an accurate answer in her heart.

If the person was Huo Chaosheng, they would have just said his name.

After Huo Xunzhou returned to the Huo Family, he had been in an awkward situation. People in the circle rarely mentioned his name. Whenever they did, they would mention “that person”.

An acquaintance engaged Nan Mu in conversation just now, and now he walked over with a glass of wine.

He walked to Lin Shanchu’s side, lowered his head and whispered, “Xunzhou is here.”

After Nan Mu finished speaking, he planned to go over and say a few words to Huo Xunzhou.

However, he saw Cheng Fanjing standing beside Huo Xunzhou as soon as he lifted his foot.

Nan Mu was stunned.

He looked at Huo Xunzhou, who was whispering to Cheng Fanjing. Then, he

felt even more confused when he turned to look at Lin Shanchu, who did not seem to notice Huo Xunzhou.

Was this what Lin Shanchu said? She and Huo Xunzhou would not be separated?

Cheng Fanjing noticed Lin Shanchu the moment she entered the banquet hall.

Lin Shanchu was dressed in a designer black gown. She had black hair, fair skin and an attractive look with an extremely beautiful figure, looking eye-catching just by standing there.

Cheng Fanjing’s eyes flashed with a trace of disdain.

This woman really knew how to steal the limelight.

However, it did not matter.

Since Lin Shanchu stole her limelight, she would steal her man.

“Sister Ming.” Cheng Fanjing walked towards Lin Shanchu with a smile on her face. When she walked up to greet Ming Yao, she even pushed Lin Shanchu to the side.

Lin Shanchu staggered.

Lin Shanchu was confused. She was just standing there without provoking anyone! Why did Cheng Fanjing push her to the side?

After Lin Shanchu steadied herself, she took strode towards Cheng Fanjing while twisting her waist, trying to push Cheng Fanjing.

She used her strength. Then, Cheng Fanjing was caught off guard and fell to the ground.

A woman next to Cheng Fanjing wanted to help her, but someone stopped her.

Tang Qidai was the one who stopped the woman.

Tang Qidai quietly took a step forward and successfully stopped the woman from helping Cheng Fanjing up.

Cheng Fanjing had seen much of life before. Even though she was pushed to the ground by Lin Shanchu in public, she did not curse out loud. Instead, she stood up elegantly and looked straight at Lin Shanchu.

“Miss Lin, if you have any misunderstandings about me, we can take our time and talk about it in private. Why did you have to use such a cheap trick to target me and make everyone so embarrassed?”

Her tone sounded helpless without the slightest hint of anger. In this way, she would appear magnanimous and make others think that Lin Shanchu was petty.

Lin Shanchu never cared about these things. She curled her lip and smiled with her pure eyes.

“Everyone? Don’t drag others down just because you’re embarrassed. Everyone attending the cocktail party is well-dressed and look dignified. No one is as embarrassed as you. You should have some dignity.” Lin Shanchu was playing word games with her?

She was also well-educated.

As soon as Lin Shanchu finished speaking, the surroundings became abnormally quiet.

Ming Yao turned her face away and covered her lips with a smile. The other female guests also had similar reactions as Ming Yao.

Men naturally would not stoop so low to participate in women’s affairs.

Cheng Fanjing grimaced.

“Miss Lin…”

“My sister-in-law is notorious for her bad temper. Miss Cheng, you are famous for being generous and polite. In that case, please be tolerant of my sister-in-law.”

A smiling male voice interrupted Cheng Fanjing.

Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a slender young man walking over slowly and smiling with his eyes.

Unlike the guests who were dressed meticulously in suits, he wore a flowery shirt under his suit with three buttons unbuttoned at the collar, looking lazy and casual. Moreover. his charming eves were filled with amorousness as he

smiled.

Yun Wu held the man’s arm and waved at Lin Shanchu happily. “Shanshan!”

“Yun Wu!” Lin Shanchu had not seen Yun Wu for a long time, so she happily took two steps forward.

Yun Wu let go of the man’s arm and ran over.

“Your gown looks pretty today. I saw you the moment I came in.” Yun Wu was the same as before. As long as she was in front of Lin Shanchu, she would turn into a sweet little girl and say all sorts of nice things.

Lin Shanchu’s smile did not disappear as she replied, “You look good today too.”

After Yun Wu finished chatting with Lin Shanchu, she remembered the man who had been left aside.

She pulled over the man who spoke up for Lin Shanchu just now and introduced him to her. “This is my second brother, Yun Jin.”

Lin Shanchu looked at Yun Jin’s familiar charming eyes and silently considered whether she should call him “Second Brother” as well.

Yun Jin smiled and bent down slightly. Then, he moved closer to Lin Shanchu and said, “Call me Second Brother.”

He looked friendly with that gentle tone.

He was not as cold as Huo Xunzhou, nor was he as serious as Yun Yi.

Lin Shanchu glanced at Cheng Fanjing next to her, whose face turned pale in rage. Then, she called out with a smile, “Second Brother.”

“Attagirl!” Yun Jin responded exaggeratedly. After that, he looked up at Huo Xunzhou and said, “Sister-in-law, you are so sensible. I came in a hurry today, so I’ll make up for your first meeting gift later.”

Lin Shanchu did not understand why he was looking at Huo Xunzhou while talking to her. Furthermore, he looked like he was showing off. However, Yun Jin spoke up for her, so she felt that he was a good person.

“Thank you, Second Brother.” When Lin Shanchu looked serious, she was exceptionally obedient.

Huo Xunzhou, who had been silent all this while, shouted coldly, “Yun Jin, are you done messing around?!”

Yun Jin frowned and pretended to be angry as he reached out to hug Huo Xunzhou over the shoulder.

“Zhouzhou, how can you talk to your brother like that? Be nice when you talk to your brother, okay?”

Huo Xunzhou avoided Yun Jin’s hand with an indifferent look on his face.

Yun Jin was not angry. Instead, he smiled and leaned forward again.

His shamelessness was not as imposing as before.

Yun Wu stepped forward and held Lin Shanchu’s hand before she whispered, “Come, let’s go have fun.”

After walking for a distance, Lin Shanchu turned back and saw Yun Jin, who had been shamelessly trying to put his arm around Huo Xunzhou’s shoulder, standing obediently beside Huo Xunzhou like an elementary school student.

Yun Wu noticed Lin Shanchu’s gaze and turned around to look as well. She then laughed.

“Third Brother has many ways to deal with Second Brother.”

“Deal with him?” Lin Shanchu was puzzled.

“Second Brother is only a few days older than Third Brother,” Yun Wu explained. “He can’t beat Third Brother, but he likes to provoke him. That’s why Third Brother usually doesn’t call him Second Brother. He just calls him by his

name..”
