After My Rebirth, I Escaped My Marriage-Chapter 24

You Went to Look for Wen Yanqing?

Zhang Rongqing felt embarrassed and afraid that Lin Gantang would say something more, so she quickly said, “Are you not coming? Alright then, Xiao Ai and I will go shopping first. I heard you’ve been taking care of Uncle Lin in the hospital for many days. You have to take care of yourself.”

After hastily ending the call, she felt like someone was chasing after her as if she owed them money.

Lin Gantang logged into the app and wanted to check her account statement to calculate how much money she had spent on Zhang Rongqing. To her surprise, her bank card had been unfrozen, and Lin Mingzhuo had even transferred some money into it.

Lin Gantang was moved.

Mr. Lin undoubtedly loved her, even more than her mother did.

The reckless Lin Gantang hadn’t changed for the better for long, and now her father had stopped using forceful methods.

Lin Gantang suddenly recalled seeing Lin Mingzhuo holding a picture of his deceased wife. The man in his thirties was crying, tears flowing freely.

“She’s my daughter, and I can’t bear to see her suffer. No matter how troublesome she is, I have to accept it as her father. Ah Min, I’m useless. I can’t guide her properly.”

After that, Lin Zhaonan became stricter with her.

After Lin Zhaonan got married, Mr. Lin even handed over the entire family’s affairs to him, including the family’s assets.

Two days had passed in a blink of an eye, the stylist came over to give them simple makeovers.

Lin Gantang still chose a black dress.

Jiang Tongtong wore a blue fishtail dress, and Lin Zhaonan wore a suit with a tie in the same color as Jiang Tongtong’s dress.

The two walked hand in hand.

Lin Gantang wondered why she was going with them. Was she there to be a third wheel and add brilliance to the occasion?

Yin Zhen’s birthday party was held at Qinghe Manor.

Qinghe Manor was located on Mount Qinghe, with flowing streams in summer and white snow in winter. The manor was built at the foot of the mountain, close to the water, and it was the private property of the Yin family.

The party was in the evening, and guests were arriving one after another.

The Yin family didn’t frequently host banquets, but Mr. Yin insisted on celebrating Yin Zhen’s birthday with a similar idea to Mr. Lin’s. He wanted to let the younger generation in the business world interact more, and perhaps even form some business partnerships.

In the world of adults, there was no simple joyous occasion.

When Lin Zhaonan and his group arrived, Yin Hongjiang warmly greeted them.

“I heard your father was discharged from the hospital. I called to inquire, but I feel ashamed that I haven’t visited him in person.”

Lin Zhaonan politely smiled and said, “Thank you, Uncle Yin, for your concern. My father is doing well, but the doctor advised him to rest for a month or two, so he couldn’t make it today. I hope you don’t mind.”

“No, no, it’s Yin Zhen’s birthday. Whether he comes or not doesn’t matter.” After Yin Hongjiang finished speaking, he noticed Lin Gantang and exclaimed with a beaming smile, “Is this Gantang? You look stunning today. Come on in.”

Yin Zhen greeted Lin Zhaonan and Jiang Tongtong warmly but didn’t spare a glance at Lin Gantang.

Lin Gantang was accustomed to such treatment.

Seeing that Lin Zhaonan and Jiang Tongtong went to entertain other guests, Lin Zhaonan reminded her, “It’s Yin Zhen’s birthday today. If you have any emotions, just hold them back and don’t spoil her party.”

Lin Zhaonan probably had a lasting impression of the time when Lin Gantang and Yin Zhen clashed.

Not all the guests had arrived, and the party had yet to begin. Lin Zhaonan took Lin Gantang around to introduce her to people.

“This is CEO Feng, in the IT industry. His company has been listed for seven to eight years and is quite reputable. Recently, he collaborated with Shi Jun’s company on a project. Do you remember Shi Jun? You asked for his number last time, right? How did it go? Did you two communicate? Are you interested in him?”

Lin Gantang was relieved she hadn’t taken a sip of her champagne, or else she would have sprayed it all over him.

“What do you mean by interested or not? He’s Wen Yanqing’s good friend,” Lin Gantang replied.

Lin Zhaonan’s sharp gaze immediately fell on her. “So when you left home last time, you went to look for Wen Yanqing?”
