Chapter 10: Settling in the Capital

Someone bumped into Lin Fangfei, making her stumble and almost fall.

She looked up and saw the old man who had just been flirting with her, now craning his neck to look at Lin Yuan at the entrance.

“She’s so damn beautiful, it makes me itchy.”

“That waist, that butt, she must be amazing in bed.”

Some vulgar men had already started fantasizing, and Lin Fangfei grew more and more annoyed as she listened to their words.

This damn Lin Yuan, was she deliberately dressing like this to draw attention?

For all these years, no matter how hard Lin Fangfei tried to dress up, whenever Lin Yuan appeared, everyone’s eyes would inevitably focus on her first.

So Lin Fangfei hated her!

She wished Lin Yuan would disappear from this world.

But then she thought about how Lin Yuan had married a construction worker, and Lin Fangfei felt a wave of relief wash over her. No matter how beautiful or alluring she was, what good would it do?

Married to such a low-class man, she would inevitably become a haggard old woman.

And then, she would be the one stepping on Lin Yuan.

Thinking about this, she finally felt a little better.

Adjusting her expression, she walked towards Lin Yuan with a haughty air, “Yuan, you’re finally here.”

Lin Yuan looked up and saw Lin Fangfei’s affected demeanor, inwardly cursing her as a drama queen, but she still put on a smile.

She even seemed more enthusiastic than Lin Fangfei, “Sister, you’ve been working so hard. You’re busy with the company and Dad’s birthday party. Unlike me, I’m just sitting around doing nothing.”

Since they had to put on a show for everyone, Lin Yuan would play along with her.

She would let everyone see that the real Lin family’s eldest daughter could neither work at Lin’s company nor be qualified to handle the family’s affairs.

What kind of face was Lin Zhenghai losing?

Sure enough, hearing her say this, Lin Fangfei’s brows furrowed, “Yuan, what are you saying? I’m just a workaholic. Dad is just afraid you’ll get tired.”

The two sisters exchanged words, and to outsiders, it really looked like they had a loving sisterly relationship.

Lin Yuan scoffed, “Sister, didn’t you say you had something for me? Where is it?”

Lin Fangfei still had a smile on her face, “Don’t worry, I’ll give it to you personally after the party.”

She then looked behind Lin Yuan, “Yuan, didn’t you say you were coming with your husband? Why are you alone?”

Lin Fangfei was convinced that Lin Yuan hadn’t brought her husband because she thought his job was too lowly and embarrassing, so she deliberately raised her voice.

Lin Yuan replied, “He’s very busy with work, he might not have time to come.”

Lin Fangfei covered her mouth and chuckled, “Yeah, construction sites are hard labor, it’s definitely pretty busy.”

The crowd started whispering.

“Lin’s daughter’s husband is a construction worker?”

“No wonder she didn’t bring him, she’s probably embarrassed!”

“Yeah, such a sexy beauty, it’s a waste to be with a construction worker.”

“You don’t understand, construction workers have the most strength, maybe Ms. Lin likes it rough in bed.”

Their voices grew louder and louder, becoming increasingly vulgar.

Lin Yuan glared at those who were talking, and they finally shut up.

Lin Fangfei was overjoyed. This was exactly the effect she wanted.

While they were talking, Lin Zhenghai had already run to the entrance, and then Lin Fangfei saw him respectfully welcoming a few young men.

One of them was Gong Yu.

The eyes of everyone at the party were drawn to them.

Lin Yuan took the opportunity to find a corner and sit down.

Many people went up to curry favor with Gong Yu.

The Gong family was considered a top-tier wealthy family in Yan City, but the man beside him seemed even more distinguished. Even Gong Yu bent slightly when talking to him, showing great respect.

Lin Zhenghai politely approached them, “Mr. Gong, it’s an honor to have you here.”

He glanced at the man beside Gong Yu and said flatteringly, “Who is this esteemed guest?”

Gong Yu glanced at Lin Zhenghai indifferently, “The An family from the Capital.”

Lin Zhenghai was startled. The An family from the Capital, they were the top-tier aristocratic family in the Capital, not a class that they could climb to.

Lin Zhenghai had only heard of them in financial news, but he never imagined they would be at his birthday party. If this got out, wouldn’t Lin’s company have no shortage of investments?

He bowed and said, “Welcome, Mr. An, welcome, welcome.”

An Jinghao glanced at Lin Zhenghai, a slight smile playing on his lips, “Mr. Lin, you’re too kind.”

Lin Fangfei heard their conversation clearly. She thought Gong Yu was already a big shot, but he had actually brought An Jinghao with him.

This was something Lin Fangfei wouldn’t even dare to dream of!

If you just talked about Gong Yu, his appearance and temperament were definitely not bad, thanks to money.

But standing next to An Jinghao, he looked like a bodyguard, a stark contrast.

This was the difference between a top-tier family and a nouveau riche.

That kind of cultural background and temperament couldn’t be cultivated in a generation or two.

Lin Fangfei’s palms started to sweat. She was both nervous and excited, and she pinched her thigh hard to force herself to calm down. She then gracefully walked to Lin Zhenghai’s side, her voice soft, “Dad.”

Lin Zhenghai looked at Lin Fangfei and quickly pulled her over to introduce her, “Mr. An, Mr. Gong, this is my daughter, Fangfei.”

An Jinghao just glanced coldly at Lin Fangfei, but Gong Yu was more polite, “Ms. Lin, you look beautiful today.”

Lin Fangfei chuckled, her voice almost becoming a squeak, “Mr. Gong, don’t tease me.”

“Dad, Mr. Li seems to be looking for you.” She gave Lin Zhenghai a wink. Lin Zhenghai bowed apologetically, “Mr. An, Mr. Gong, please excuse me for a moment.”

Gong Yu said politely, “Mr. Lin, please.”

Lin Fangfei led Gong Yu and An Jinghao into the inner area. Her eyes kept lingering on An Jinghao, and when he looked at her, she shyly lowered her head.

An Jinghao was not just anyone. He had been around the Capital’s social scene for years, and Lin Fangfei’s little tricks were like kindergarten level in front of him.

There were countless women in the Capital who were prettier and more delicate than her, and they all flocked to An Jinghao.

He was too lazy to deal with such petty tricks.

He raised his eyebrows, took a glass of wine from the waiter, and scanned the room with his eyes. His gaze suddenly fixed on a corner, and his voice took on a hint of interest, “Gong Yu, this Yan City is indeed interesting.”

Gong Yu smiled along.

Lin Fangfei was overjoyed when she heard this. What did Mr. An mean by that?

Could it be that he…

She raised her head, about to ask coyly, when she saw An Jinghao walking towards a certain direction.

Lin Fangfei followed his back with her eyes, and her whole body went numb!
