Lin Ziyuan narrowed his eyes slightly as he watched the handsome man approach.
A cold glint flashed in his eyes, but he quickly concealed it and remained silent.
He thought to himself, "Just you wait until I take you down from your position as the heir of the Lin Family, then I'll teach you a lesson!"
Beside him, Ye Bufan's face was as black as coal.
Who the hell are you talking about?!
How could someone as handsome and refined as him dare to call him vulgar and rude?
What an idiot!
Ye Bufan clenched his fist, snorted coldly to himself, and silently made a grudge.
A gentleman takes his revenge, even after ten years.
After experiencing so much, he is no longer the same.
Two new words have appeared in his dictionary: "Forbearance"!
"Young Master Lin."
"Young Master Wenxuan."
The moment they saw the handsome young man, the young men from the surrounding families and noble ladies all stepped forward with their wine glasses in hand.
He seemed much more enthusiastic towards her than towards Lin Ziyuan.
The young man was the son of the Lin Family Head.
If nothing unexpected happens, he will be the rightful heir to the Capital Lin Family in the future.
Lin Wenxuan smiled slightly at the compliments from the crowd, remaining calm and composed throughout.
"Third brother, you haven't been coming back to the Lin Family much lately, have you?"
After exchanging a few perfunctory words, Lin Wenxuan swirled his wine glass and walked over to Lin Ziyuan.
"Brother, you're so busy with work, how come you have time to care about me?"
Lin Ziyuan gave a forced smile, lightly touched his wine glass, and slowly began to speak.
You're not getting anything out of him!
Don't think he doesn't know; those words were a subtle way of pointing out his flaws.
Recognize your place and don't dream of reaching the heavens.
Hehe~
If emperors can take turns sitting on the throne, why can't he compete for the position of Lin Family Head?
"As an older brother, isn't it only right that you care about your younger brother?"
Lin Wenxuan smiled, took a sip of his drink, and continued.
"Third brother, don't overthink it."
He knew his younger brother very well.
His abilities and ambitions are disproportionate; he has some cunning but not much; he is neither good at literature nor martial arts.
If the Lin Family falls into Lin Ziyuan's hands, then it's all over.
He just wanted to give his grandfather a good talking-to; it would be best if he could behave himself.
We're all family, so he won't do anything to us. But if we're not honest and do something underhanded, he won't hold back.
The position of Lin Family Head can only belong to him!
"Of course not."
Lin Ziyuan smiled, and the two brothers clinked their glasses, each with their own thoughts.
To outsiders, it was a perfectly harmonious scene of brotherly love and respect.
Pretending to be something you're not!
Seeing this, Ye Bufan smiled disdainfully.
His Fiery Eyes Golden Gaze had long since seen through everything.
Just as Ye Bufan was getting bored and preparing to showcase his unparalleled charm and make some friends,
Two figures walked into the banquet hall, immediately attracting everyone's attention.
"Who are these two? They look a bit unfamiliar."
"Judging from his demeanor and attire, his status is probably quite extraordinary."
Many young ladies from prominent families stared intently at Jiang Cheng, their eyes darting around.
When members of prominent families recognized Ding Shengnan's identity, they were all surprised.
Unlike the surprise of those around him.
At this moment, Lin Ziyuan's expression changed, and a fleeting look of apprehension crossed his eyes.
His experiences in Lingnan are still fresh in his memory.
Especially that horrible woman, she was his nightmare.
"The eldest daughter of the Ding family in Southwest China."
Looking at Ding Shengnan and recalling his father's warning, Lin Ziyuan seemed to understand something.
The relationship between the Qin Family and the Ding family is known throughout Capital; it's hardly a secret.
Moreover, the Ding family patriarch has a very close relationship with "that That One".
It is no exaggeration to say that as long as "that That One" is around, the Ding family's influence is in no way inferior to that of the Lin Family.
No wonder the eldest daughter of the Qin Family intervened; that makes sense now.
Lin Wenxuan, standing to the side, took in all the changes in Lin Ziyuan's expression.
I was slightly surprised. What was going on?
There seems to be something wrong with his younger brother!
At the same time, upon seeing that familiar figure, Ye Bufan's face turned ashen, as if he had eaten shit.
I almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
Is this never going to end? You're everywhere!
He had a vague feeling that something bad was about to happen to him; he was going to be in trouble again.
When Ye Bufan saw Ding Shengnan next to Jiang Cheng, he was filled with envy, jealousy and hatred.
Why are all these stunning beauties hanging around this spoiled brat?!
He expressed his dissatisfaction.
At this time
It was impossible for Jiang Cheng not to notice Ye Bufan's resentful and indignant gaze.
Wow, it's been so long! You can't be serious, can you?
That much resentment is enough to feed ten Evil Sword Immortal.
Jiang Cheng smiled at Ye Bufan as he walked forward.
We're acquaintances, after all; we should at least greet each other when we meet.
Upon seeing this, Ye Bufan's face darkened.
You jinx, stay away!
Just as I was about to turn and leave, a voice rang out the next second.
"Brother Ye, it's been so long, you still look as dashing as ever."
"Look at that suit and shiny leather shoes, he really looks presentable when he's dressed up."
Upon hearing this, Ye Bufan paused, and the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
No one will think you're mute if you can't speak!
Whew~ I'll endure it!
Clenching his fists, Ye Bufan silently comforted himself, saying that now was not the time.
Jiang Cheng said this in an attempt to provoke him.
Heh heh~ He saw through this little trick a long time ago.
Don't get angry, you can't get angry.
If he couldn't resist making a move, he would definitely be killed by the expert protecting him in secret.
Huh, when did I turn into a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle?
Seeing Ye Bufan remain silent, Jiang Cheng clicked his Ye Bufan in amazement but didn't pay much attention.
He did this for no other purpose than to disgust people.
Anyway, the real show is yet to come!
At this moment, Lin Wenxuan smiled and looked at Jiang Cheng and the other person.
"How should I address you, sir?"
"Jiang Cheng."
"So it's Brother Jiang."
You can't hit someone who's smiling.
Seeing Lin Wenxuan's outstretched hand, Jiang Cheng responded with a smile, but his gaze remained impassive as he looked at Lin Ziyuan.
The latter looked rather unpleasant.
After exchanging a few polite words, Jiang Cheng and Ding Shengnan found a corner to sit down.
"Third brother, you don't seem very happy."
Lin Wenxuan patted Lin Ziyuan on the shoulder and slowly began to speak.
"Is something on your mind? Why don't you tell me? Maybe I, as your older brother, can help you."
"No need."
Lin Ziyuan forced a smile and turned to leave.
Behind him, Lin Wenxuan's lips curled into a smile.
It seems his guess was right; there appears to be some unpleasantness between his younger brother and Jiang Cheng.
"Lin Wenxuan".
In the corner, Jiang Cheng smiled and uttered these three words meaningfully.
"Do you have a grudge against that person?"
Ding Shengnan suddenly leaned towards Jiang Cheng and asked in confusion.
"You've been acting a bit strange these past few days, Miss Ding."
Jiang Cheng turned his head and looked at the delicate eyebrows and fair, tender skin so close to his face with suspicion in his eyes.
This woman is seriously suspicious!
