Chapter 12: You Really Got Married?

Lin Yuan couldn’t explain it, but the more she looked at Sheng Xiao, the more she found her cheap husband appealing.

Standing in the dazzling banquet hall, no one could overshadow his brilliance.

Although his expression was indifferent, his unwavering gaze fixed on Lin Yuan was incredibly charming, making her feel as if she had a thousand troops behind her.

She felt confident.

She smiled at Sheng Xiao and followed Lin Fangfei upstairs.

Only when Lin Yuan was out of sight did An Jinghao sit down on a sparsely populated sofa with Sheng Xiao.

He pulled out a cigarette and skillfully lit it for Sheng Xiao. “Third Brother, are you really married?”

Sheng Xiao took a puff, glanced towards the staircase on the second floor, and nodded.

“Does Miss Lin know your identity?”

Sheng Xiao looked at him with a sideways glance. “Haozi, you know what you can and cannot say about my affairs.”

An Jinghao laughed and agreed. “Don’t worry, I’ll keep my mouth shut.”

In his mind, someone with Sheng Xiao’s status and position would never marry the daughter of a bankrupt family, although Lin Yuan was indeed stunningly beautiful.

Now it seemed that Sheng Xiao was hiding his identity, probably just intending to play around with Lin Yuan.

“Third Brother, everyone in the capital is restless. The old man is also thinking about you. Are you enjoying yourself too much?”

Sheng Xiao had been away from the capital in Yancheng for a while. Because of that incident, those people at home had been eyeing the position of the head of Shengshi with covetous eyes. If Sheng Xiao didn’t return to stabilize the situation, the situation might change.

He let out a cold snort from his throat. “They’re just rats in the gutter, they can’t make any waves.”

Seeing that Sheng Xiao said so, An Jinghao knew that Sheng Xiao had everything under control. Anything he said would be redundant, so he simply nodded and kept quiet.

Third Brother’s affairs were always well-planned, and he didn’t dare to question him too much.

While they were talking downstairs, upstairs, Lin Yuan followed Lin Fangfei to the attic.

Lin Yuan immediately saw the box where her mother used to store things.

She went to take it, but Lin Fangfei stepped forward to block her. “Yuan, what’s the rush?”

Lin Yuan frowned. “Lin Fangfei, if you have something to say, just say it. It’s just the two of us now, you don’t need to pretend.”

Isn’t it tiring to act all the time?

Lin Fangfei sneered. “Lin Yuan, I advise you that after you leave this door, you should think carefully about what you should and shouldn’t say. Otherwise, even if you’re married, I still have ways to make you miserable.”

Her eyes were full of disdain, her face covered in layers of foundation, which was slightly bulging due to the distortion of her features. It looked incredibly grotesque with her smug expression.

Lin Yuan pushed her aside, walked to the iron box, blew off the dust on top, and held it in her arms. “Don’t worry, I’d rather be completely cut off from you. I never received any care from Lin Zhenghai before, and I don’t need it in the future. You better not come to bother me, otherwise, I don’t mind going down with you!”

She spoke decisively, but Lin Fangfei didn’t believe she could let go so easily.

The laborer she found, what kind of good life could he give her? It’s just new now, maybe she’ll be crying and coming back in a few days.

Lin Yuan took the box, glared at Lin Fangfei, and turned to leave without looking back.

Lin Fangfei said coldly behind her, “Lin Yuan, your arrogant attitude is really annoying. One day, I’ll make you regret it!”

“You better live to see that day!” She held the box and went downstairs, Lin Fangfei glared at her back with bloodshot eyes. “Lin Yuan, you wait for me.”

When she marries into a wealthy family, she’ll be the first to play this bitch to death!

Lin Yuan carried the box downstairs and saw Lin Zhenghai standing in front of Sheng Xiao, talking to him.

She was afraid that Lin Zhenghai would embarrass Sheng Xiao, so she quickly ran to Sheng Xiao’s side, assuming the same protective posture as before, questioning Lin Zhenghai with her eyes. “What are you doing?”

Lin Zhenghai, seeing that An Jinghao was also there, couldn’t erupt and suppressed his temper, scolding her in a low voice. “Is this how you treat your father?”

Lin Yuan sneered. “This is the best I can do!”

She finished speaking, took Sheng Xiao’s hand, and was about to leave, but Lin Zhenghai wasn’t so easy to let them go. “Lin Yuan, can you have some decency? I raised you, where’s your dowry? You found such a poor boy?”

As soon as he finished speaking, An Jinghao beside him, whether he was choked by the wine or something, suddenly coughed.

What did he hear? Sheng Xiao is a poor boy?

Good heavens, this is unheard of.

Half of the capital is Sheng Xiao’s property, and he’s a poor boy?

Lin Zhenghai naturally didn’t know Sheng Xiao’s identity, but he knew that An Jinghao’s background was not simple. Seeing An Jinghao cough, he quickly handed him a tissue with a flattering smile.

An Jinghao suppressed his discomfort and looked at him. “I say, Mr. Lin, you’re the CEO of a company after all, your judgment must not be so shallow. In my opinion, Mr. Sheng is a potential stock.”

Lin Zhenghai didn’t know why An Jinghao was speaking up for Sheng Xiao, but hearing him say so, he didn’t dare to refute and could only awkwardly nod.

An Jinghao cleared his throat. “Well, I think it’s fate that we met today. I find Mr. Sheng very congenial. Since they’re newlyweds, I’ll send a big gift to the Lin family on behalf of Mr. Sheng.”

Lin Zhenghai’s eyes widened in delight upon hearing this. An family and Lin family cooperate?

This is not simply a collaboration between two companies. What kind of family is the An family? They can cooperate with the Lin family, how many companies will come to them in the future, the future of the Lin family is limitless.

She tried to suppress her excitement, went forward and put her arm around Lin Zhenghai, who was stunned by the shock. “Mr. An, thank you so much. It’s a great honor for the Lin family to cooperate with the An family.”

Only then did Lin Zhenghai react and quickly thanked him.

Indeed, as soon as An Jinghao said this, many company executives in the hall looked over frequently.

They had an idea in mind.

Not to mention cooperation, even if they could get some scraps from the An family, it would be enough to support the entire company.

They envied and were jealous, while thinking about how to get in touch with the Lin family first, so that they would have a chance to cooperate with the An family in the future.

Lin Zhenghai suddenly felt proud, and even looked at Sheng Xiao with less resentment.

He glanced at Sheng Xiao. “Don’t you thank Mr. An!”

An Jinghao quickly waved his hand. “No need to be polite, no need to be polite.”

Just kidding, let Sheng Xiao thank him? He doesn’t want to live anymore!
