Chapter 9: If You Want Me to Go, I’ll Go

The affairs of the Lin family were too dirty, no one was willing to expose their embarrassing side in front of their own men.

But since Sheng Xiao asked, she didn’t need to hide it anymore.

“Tomorrow is my dad’s birthday.”

Sheng Xiao’s eyes dimmed slightly, “Are you going alone?”

Lin Yuan didn’t answer, but her silence said it all.

Sheng Xiao tapped a cigarette from the coffee table and lit it, his long fingers holding the cigarette as he looked at her, “What, do you think I’m a disgrace?”

Lin Yuan also put on a silk nightgown and sat beside him, looking at him with some embarrassment, “Sheng Xiao, do you know why I was so eager to get a marriage certificate with you the day we met?”

Sheng Xiao had heard a little bit about it at the time, probably because her family was forcing her, but he didn’t really have the heart to care about how they were forcing her. Now that she asked, he was interested in hearing it.

He flicked her long hair with his finger, “Why?”

Lin Yuan also took a deep breath, since Sheng Xiao was the one she was going to spend the rest of her life with, the Lin family’s affairs would sooner or later be known to him. It was better for her to tell him herself than to hear it from someone else.

So, the matter of Lin Zhenghai and Jiang Peiyao selling Lin Yuan to a rich man was revealed to Sheng Xiao.

His fingers holding the cigarette paused slightly, meeting Lin Yuan’s gaze, she smiled bitterly.

It seemed that she was also a poor little thing.

Sheng Xiao’s black pupils were deep, his emotions unclear.

Lin Yuan also continued, “So, it’s not that I despise you, but I’m afraid you’ll be embarrassed by them if you go to the Lin family.”

The Lin family was the best at embarrassing people, although Sheng Xiao was Lin Yuan’s man, he didn’t need to suffer this unwarranted disaster.

His fingers were played with in the man’s palm, the expression on Sheng Xiao’s face softened slightly, “Worried about me?”

Lin Yuan was originally afraid that Sheng Xiao would think she was using him, but the first thing he asked after hearing it was this. She was slightly stunned, and after a while she nodded.

“Yes.”

Sheng Xiao picked her up and put her on his lap, “I don’t care about those people, if you want me to go, I’ll go.”

Sheng Xiao, who had lived so long, had never experienced the feeling of being looked down upon.

Lin Yuan hesitated a little, she hoped that someone would stand behind her and give her strong support when she was embarrassed, but when those people with wolfish ambitions in the Lin family knew Sheng Xiao’s job, they would definitely ridicule him or even mock him.

Sheng Xiao saw her struggling, his big hand stroked her back, “Even if those people have evil intentions, it’s only right for me to go to your family after we get married.”

Lin Yuan’s small face was about to wrinkle up, Sheng Xiao reached out to smooth the wrinkles between her brows, “Don’t you trust me?”

She quickly shook her head, “Then no matter what they say tomorrow, don’t take it to heart.”

Her face was full of worry, Sheng Xiao hugged her tightly, “Okay.”

Lying in bed at night, Lin Yuan was still struggling over whether or not to let Sheng Xiao go.

As a result, Lin Fangfei sent her a message directly.

【Yuan, since you’re married, you certainly won’t despise your construction worker husband, right? Be sure to remember to bring him back to see Dad!】

Sarcastic!

Lin Yuan rolled her eyes in anger, she quickly tapped a few times on her phone.

【As you wish!】

The next night, Lin Yuan got ready and sent a message to Sheng Xiao.

【Don’t rush, I’ll go over and see what’s going on first, you can come over after work.】

Sheng Xiao and Lin Yuan had gotten their marriage certificate and had taken several days off, Lin Yuan was afraid that he would be deducted from his salary or fired again because of this.

Sheng Xiao rarely replied to a message.

【Okay.】

When she parked outside, the banquet inside had already begun.

Lin Zhenghai ran a small but not insignificant company, the Lin family, and he knew some wealthy people in Yancheng, a small place. He was having a birthday party, and there were quite a few people who came to show their support.

Lin Fangfei was dressed luxuriously and extravagantly, her styling and makeup were also carefully designed.

Although she was not very good-looking, her figure was still quite good, she deliberately dressed in a sexy and seductive way, attracting the attention of many people at the banquet.

Lin Fangfei was naturally proud.

Several women who usually played with her came up to flatter her, “Fangfei, this dress is limited edition, right? It’s so beautiful.”

“This necklace is beautiful too, it makes your skin look even whiter.”

“Of course, our Fangfei has such a good temperament, she looks good in anything.”

Lin Fangfei was flattered by their praise, her five points of confidence rose to ten.

Although she was proud in her heart, she still pretended to be humble, “Everyone is beautiful.”

Several women raised their glasses and laughed, above them seemed to be a halo, and in the halo were two big words.

Plastic sisters!

Lin Fangfei left the group of women and began to circulate around the banquet.

She couldn’t just do her styling for nothing today.

Lin Zhenghai had pulled a few strings and invited Gong Yu, the young master of the famous Gong family in Yancheng. Lin Fangfei’s goal today was him, if she could be seen by Gong Shao, then she would be one step closer to entering the wealthy family.

She scanned the banquet with her eyes, but Gong Shao was not there yet.

There were a few greasy middle-aged men who came up to her to chat.

“Miss Lin is really young and beautiful, I heard that you are a capable woman in the Lin family.”

Compared to Lin Yuan’s exile, Lin Fangfei was brought to the Lin family by Lin Zhenghai to be the director of the marketing department, second only to him and above everyone else, she was in the limelight.

She gave a smile that she thought was seductive, raised her glass and became familiar with the other party, “Mr. Li is exaggerating, you are the big taxpayer in Yancheng.”

Mr. Li laughed heartily, not at all implying anything, “Miss Lin is so humble, I wonder if Miss Lin has time to have dinner with a big taxpayer?”

He was already fat and greasy, and when he laughed with his head tilted back, the fat on his body trembled, the lust on his face was overwhelming, Lin Fangfei endured the disgust and smiled falsely, “It’s my honor to have dinner with Mr. Li, but my father is having a birthday today, so it’s not convenient. Another day, I’ll treat you.”

The smile on Mr. Li’s face could not be concealed, his hand had already reached her slender waist, and he rubbed it lightly. “Miss Lin is thoughtful, then I’ll wait for the good news.”

Lin Fangfei left him in a few steps, and scanned the room again, but still didn’t see Gong Yu’s shadow, she couldn’t help but frown and go to Lin Zhenghai’s side, “Dad, is Gong Shao coming today for sure?”

Lin Zhenghai patted her hand reassuringly, “Don’t worry.”

As soon as they finished speaking, Lin Yuan walked in.

She was wearing a red halter dress, her hair permed into big waves, her figure was tall and slender, her eyes were flowing, and she was charming.

Her fair skin shone brightly under the lights, dazzling.

The moment she walked in, almost everyone’s eyes were drawn to her.

Men admired her, women envied her.

Lin Fangfei looked at her vixen-like face, her fingers curled involuntarily, her eyes filled with jealous flames…
