"Alright, we won't waste any more time with pleasantries today. Next, I will announce a major event concerning our Lin family."
Lin Yan gently held Su Mojin's waist as Lin Guoxiong's voice echoed from the stage. The people below trembled slightly. Lin Guoxiong had previously mentioned a serious matter to announce, and many had already begun to speculate.
Li Hongliang and his daughter Li Yuhan were also drawn in by Lin Guoxiong's words.
"It's about my youngest son's marriage."
As expected, upon hearing the word "marriage," Li Hongliang understood. It was indeed as he had guessed.
At the mention of marriage, Li Yuhan's hand, which had been clutching her skirt by her legs, tightened abruptly. Her face turned a shade paler. So soon... was he going to get married...
Although she knew her chances were slim, a sliver of hope was better than a direct death sentence.
How long had it been since she left school? Was he already getting married? It hadn't even been a year...
Li Yuhan tightly gripped the hem of her clothes, her eyes filled with a complex mix of regret, despair, and loss.
Li Hongliang, watching her, felt a pang in his heart, but there was nothing he could do. To help his daughter move on, this was perhaps the only way.
"Dad, I need to go to the restroom. Can you help me..." kanδん
Li Yuhan covered her mouth and tugged at Li Hongliang's sleeve. Li Hongliang sighed and looked towards Fu Qingyun beside him for help. Fu Qingyun nodded slightly. Only then did Li Hongliang discreetly lead Li Yuhan away. The others noticed but said nothing. kΑnshu伍.ξà
So, the Li family girl liked the young master of the Lin family. Boss Zhang, who had been chatting with Li Hongliang earlier, suddenly understood the situation.
No wonder she refused my Zhang Junkai. So you, Li Hongliang, wanted to curry favor with the Lin family. Too bad you were rejected, serves you right! Boss Zhang, unaware of the truth, silently cursed Li Hongliang in his heart.
"Hey, Yuhan."
As she passed by Zhang Jiajia, Zhang Jiajia called out softly to the seemingly troubled Li Yuhan. However, Li Yuhan didn't hear her. Forcing back tears, she exited the banquet hall.
Seeing this, Zhang Jiajia and Nana's group of girlfriends all turned and cast strange glances at Lin Yan. Hearing the news of his marriage, Li Yuhan had left. It seemed, could it be that Li Yuhan liked this guy? Hmm... very possible. No wonder Zhang Jiajia called him a scumbag; he must have abandoned Li Yuhan after playing with her.
Nana's mind raced with wild thoughts, but Zhang Jiajia's thoughts were the opposite. Didn't Li Yuhan say she didn't like him? What was going on? Good heavens, could this be a case of unrequited love from an idol drama? Was his charm that great?
Beside him, Su Mojin was still leaning on Lin Yan's shoulder. Lin Yan breathed a sigh of relief. He didn't know what this woman he didn't recognize was up to, but he had a premonition that it was best not to let Su Mojin see.
On stage, Lin Guoxiong had already announced the wedding date for Lin Yan and Su Mojin. The banquet then officially concluded. Those who needed to leave departed, and those who wanted to eat did so. The Lin family's relatives and business partners numbered at least eighty to ninety people. Congratulations surrounded Lin Guoxiong and Fu Qingyun. Fortunately, Lin Yan had the foresight to escape with Su Mojin, otherwise, he would likely have been mobbed.
By the time Lin Guoxiong and Fu Qingyun were free, it was already three in the afternoon. The banquet was held at noon, and Lin Yan was quite surprised that these people could linger until three. As soon as the banquet ended, the elders rushed towards Lin Yan and Su Mojin.
"Kid, well done. You've got my old spirit. If you hadn't stood up back then, I'd have definitely spanked you."
Lin Guoxiong stood before Lin Yan, puffing out his chest and glaring. Then, he eagerly ran to Fu Qingyun's side.
Fu Qingyun was holding Su Mojin's hand and whispering to her. Seeing Lin Guoxiong approach, she directly told him to scram. Helpless, Lin Guoxiong ran back to Lin Yan and sat with him. Su Mojin tried hard to suppress a smile, finding it difficult.
However, Lin Yan had no such reservations and immediately showed off his pearly whites.
"You brat, are you itching for a spanking?"
Lin Yan flinched.
Finally, after Fu Qingyun finished speaking, Lin Guoxiong had a chance to chat with his daughter-in-law. Although Lin Guoxiong never mentioned the gender of the child, Su Mojin remained very nervous.
"Alright, you brat, the company still has a lot of things to do, so I'm leaving now."
At the entrance of Jialin Hotel, Lin Yan and Su Mojin parted ways with Fu Qingyun and got into the car heading home.
"Don't worry, my parents don't care whether it's a boy or a girl. Besides, we can always have another one."
In the car, Lin Yan winked mysteriously at Su Mojin. Li Wei in the front consciously blocked his ears with his mind.
"Improper."
Su Mojin softly chided, but she was already considering the matter. That's right, they could always have another one, she was still young anyway.
"What? Are you thinking of something strange in that little head of yours again?"
Seeing Su Mojin looking down and not speaking, Lin Yan leaned in.
"No, don't talk nonsense."
"No, don't talk nonsense."
Lin Yan mimicked Su Mojin's tone and said strangely.
"You, I'm so angry I'm shaking, I'm not talking to you anymore!"
Su Mojin rolled her eyes at Lin Yan, put her hands on her hips, and put on a fierce demeanor.
