"Ye Lan, try this, it's delicious!"
Zhao Xiaoya didn't realize it. When she saw Ye Lan coming back, she went up to him with a meatball in his arms.
Ye Lan subconsciously opened his mouth and swallowed it whole.
Then he pulled her and lowered his voice: "It's not safe here, go back now!"
Zhao Xiaoya was stunned for a moment and whispered: "But the banquet hasn't officially started yet!"
"I can't wait that much, let's leave now!" Ye Lan looked solemn.
Zhao Xiaoya nodded quickly and put down the dinner plate.
But the two of them were still a step too late.
Lin Xiaohong has already brought Lin Feng over.
With a smile on her face, she said: "Niece Xiaoya, is the food delicious?"
Zhao Xiaoya smiled sweetly, "Thank you, uncle, the food is delicious!"
"It's fine if you like it, but you have just entered this circle, so you still have to communicate more with other people!"
Lin Xiaohong said, picking up a glass of wine from behind, "Well, I'll let Xiaofeng take you to get to know him!"
Lin Feng's eyes were full of excitement. He handed a glass of wine to Zhao Xiaoya, made a toast, and said: "Xiaoya, have a drink. I will accompany you to meet other people later!"
Zhao Xiaoya was about to take a polite sip.
Ye Lan took the wine glass and said, "Mr. Lin, my lady can't drink. Thank you for your kindness!"
Lin Feng's face darkened and he said angrily: "Who are you? It's none of your business that I'm talking to Xiaoya!"
Lin Xiaohong also looked displeased and said: "Little brother, are you a bodyguard? Don't you know that this kind of occasion is not suitable for you to come in?"
"Uncle Lin, I forgot to introduce you, this is my boyfriend!" Zhao Xiaoya took Ye Lan's arm and introduced her with her head raised.
Lin Feng's face turned red, like a child whose toy had been robbed.
"You have a boyfriend? How can you have a boyfriend?"
He took two steps forward angrily, as if he wanted to hit someone.
Lin Xiaohong quickly grabbed him, glanced at Ye Lan, and then said seriously: "Niece Xiaoya, you have to be careful about this kind of thing!"
"The partners of children from aristocratic families must be well-matched!"
"How could you like someone like him?"
Ye Lan stretched out his hand to protect Zhao Xiaoya behind him, and said coldly: "What? If you don't like me, do you like your stupid son?"
"What did you say?" Lin Xiaohong was furious.
Lin Feng was not born naturally, but an artificial embryo, born with low intelligence.
Over the years, he spent a lot of money to seek medical advice everywhere, and barely managed to raise Lin Feng's intelligence to the level of a 6-year-old.
He knew it in his heart, but no one dared to say it in front of him.
Ye Lan smiled softly and was about to say it loudly.
Zhao Xiaoya quickly grabbed him, "Ye Lan!"
Looking at the pitiful pleading look, Ye Lan took a deep breath and swallowed the words that were held in his throat.
"Uncle Lin, I'm sorry, I apologize on his behalf!"
Zhao Xiaoya said loudly and sincerely.
The surrounding guests cast curious glances, and many people listened attentively.
Lin Xiaohong quickly controlled his anger and showed a kind smile on his face.
"In that case, why don't my niece cut the cake with my son?"
Before Ye Lan could refuse, Zhao Xiaoya had already spoken in advance, "What an honor!"
"Okay, there will be a surprise later!"
Lin Xiaohong smiled slightly, as if nothing had happened, and continued to toast with her son.
However, when Lin Feng turned around, he showed a lewd smile towards Zhao Xiaoya.
Opening his mouth wide, he said silently: "I want to sleep with you!"
The expressions of the two of them changed. A trace of blood flashed in Ye Lan's eyes, and murderous intent suddenly broke out.
Zhao Xiaoya quickly grabbed him and whispered: "Ye Lan, can you let me handle it myself?"
She stared into Ye Lan's eyes seriously and said word by word: "I will always have to face these things!"
"Do you know there was something wrong with that glass of wine just now?" Ye Lan said in a deep voice.
Zhao Xiaoya's eyes flashed with disbelief.
How dare the Lin family drug their guests?
At this moment, the music stopped suddenly.
The colored lights go out and the white lights come on.
Lin Xiaohong led Lin Feng to the center.
"Thank you all for participating in Quanzi's coming-of-age ceremony! I only welcome you on behalf of the Lin family!"
As he spoke, he pulled Lin Feng's sleeve.
The latter had a simple and honest smile on his face, picked up the phone and said, "Thank you all for attending my coming-of-age ceremony!"
"After eighteen years of ups and downs, today, I finally became an adult!"
"Here, I want to thank my dad..."
Lin Feng talked eloquently and quoted classics, which attracted many people's applause.
Looks talented.
Many people whispered.
"You don't look like an imbecile!"
"Mr. Lin spent a lot of money! It must have changed!"
As everyone said this, their expressions when they looked at Lin Feng were suddenly full of strangeness.
Ye Lan snickered secretly.
He clearly saw Lin Feng's fingers trembling.
Obviously, this speech was recited in advance!
However, Lin Feng contacted him so many times that ordinary people couldn't tell the clues.
After delivering his speech, Lin Xiaohong finally took the microphone.
"Next, let Quanzi share the cake with everyone!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a huge three-layer cake was slowly pushed out.
The cake decoration is luxurious and worth a lot of money.
"Before that, I would like to invite an old friend and junior to cut the cake with Quanzi!"
As he spoke, he waved to Zhao Xiaoya.
"Xiaoya, come up!"
Under everyone's gaze, Zhao Xiaoya lifted up her skirt elegantly, revealing a ladylike smile.
"This is my good friend, Mr. Zhao Lin's daughter, Zhao Xiaoya!"
Everyone suddenly showed expressions of realization.
Before the incident in the Zhao family, Zhao Xiaoya had never been in contact with the circle of the aristocratic family.
Lin Xiaohong's behavior was equivalent to pulling her in.
Zhao Xiaoya nodded gratefully and said with a smile: "Thank you, Uncle Lin!"
With a faint smile on her face, she walked to the cake and lit the candles herself.
At this moment, Lin Xiaohong said again: "Dear friends, on this special day, I still have two things to share with you!"
"First of all, the Jiangnan Chen family has reached a cooperation agreement with the Lin family!"
As soon as these words came out, the entire banquet hall suddenly became quiet.
Some were shocked, while others were confused.
"Jiangnan Chen Family? Never heard of it! Are they very powerful?"
"Oh, you don't understand. In the eyes of those families, we are all ants!"
"Let's put it this way, all the first-class aristocratic families in Huayu City put together are not worth a little finger of the Chen family!"
"So powerful? Could it be that there is no cultivation..."
"Shhh! Just know that the Lin family will soon surpass us!"
The discussion got louder, but Lin Xiaohong deliberately stopped, enjoying the admiring eyes of everyone.
Of course, there are also doubts.
"Will the Chen family like the Lin family?"
"They are not from the same world as us!"
Lin Xiaohong coughed lightly and picked up the phone again.
"Master Chen Hongbo will come in person later. I hope everyone will welcome you!"
"The next thing is the second happy event!"
As he spoke, he took out a scroll from his arms.
"Brother Zhao Lin and I made an agreement to become sons and daughters!"
"Although my brother has gone to the west, I have to keep my promise. Today's adult banquet is also the engagement banquet of Xiaoya and Quanzi!"
Hearing this, Zhao Xiaoya was completely stunned.
Just a moment ago, she didn't even know about it!
"Impossible! How is this possible?"
She murmured to herself, but Lin Xiaohong spread out the scroll and gave it to her directly.
"Niece, I think this should be considered your father's last wish!"
"Although he is not here, the Lin family is still willing to keep their promise!"
Zhao Xiaoya took the scroll and recognized it at a glance. It was Zhao Lin's autograph.
Looking at the date again, she understood immediately.
When the engagement contract was signed, it was the time when the Lin family industry was withdrawing from Beichen in a big way.
This is the reason why the Lin family is willing to withdraw from the competition!
Unexpectedly, his biological father sold him a few years ago!
For a moment, she was so lost that she froze.
