Forced to Date a Big Shot-Chapter 818 - Birthday Party (4)

Chapter 818: Birthday Party (4)

A few men in black suits rushed in.

These people were well-trained. One look and one could tell that they were professional bodyguards. After they checked the banquet hall in an orderly manner, they stood in different spots.

Everyone was shocked.

They wondered who would have such a retinue when traveling.

Could it really be… Lin Jing?

At this thought, a man in black reported, “Report, check completed. Everything is safe.”

Immediately, two figures appeared at the door.

A middle-aged man in a black suit looked strict and serious. His face… shocked everyone at the banquet.

Beside the middle-aged man was Lin Jing, who was wearing a dignified cheongsam!

She’d pulled up her hair and wrapped her slim waist in a cheongsam. She walked in with the middle-aged man. It was a handsome man and a beautiful woman.

Although the two of them were not young anymore, time seemed to favor them. Looking at them, if one ignored their strong aura, they looked like they were in their thirties.

The entire banquet hall was silent!

Everyone widened their eyes. They never expected to see the two of them here.

They thought about the bodyguards’ behavior just now. If the other party were the two of them, they were being too magnanimous!

Someone gulped and mumbled, “Am I dreaming?”

Amid the silence, Lin Jing walked over with her arm around her husband. She raised her brows and looked at Ye Li. “Lili, I’m sorry. He came here to play. It’s all his fault I’m late!”

She patted her husband’s arm. “He’s too busy during the new year. He was still in a meeting last night… He flew over at the last minute today. If I hadn’t been waiting for him, I would have come over long ago!”

That intimate tone…

Everyone gasped!

Was this what Ye Li meant by exchanging a few words?

While everyone was stunned, Xue Sheng was the first to react. He hurriedly took a step forward. “You guys are here. Let’s talk upstairs.”

How could such a big shot be surrounded by people downstairs?

He nodded to Ye Li.

Only then did Ye Li recover from her shock.

She rushed to Lin Jing’s side and asked, “Why are you here?”

Lin Jing complained, “Why didn’t you send me an invitation to Xixi’s birthday? Do you not want me to come?”

Ye Li held her hand and followed Xue Sheng and Lin Jing’s husband upstairs. “I just feel that it’s too far. I’m really happy that you can come!”

The four of them went upstairs hand in hand. The people who stayed in the banquet hall only came back to their senses when the four of them entered the lounge and the bodyguards in black went upstairs too. They stood at the door.

The hall suddenly exploded.

“Oh my god, it’s really Lin Jing!”

“I feel like I’m dreaming. It’s too surreal, isn’t it?”

“…”

While everyone was discussing, Xiang Huai walked in front of Liu Yiqiu and Old Lady Xue and said coldly, “Let me tell you a little secret. My mother-in-law not only knows Lin Jing, but Lin Jing was also the one who took the initiative to get to know my mother-in-law.”

After saying this, he raised his chin slightly. “Of course, people like you cannot understand that. After all, we are not from the same world.”

He raised an eyebrow and followed them upstairs.

Those who came to attend the banquet were all smart people. At this moment, their regard for Xue Sheng and Ye Li grew even higher.

Someone even said to Old Lady Xue, “Old Madam, don’t mock your eldest daughter-in-law’s background. Her parents are both university professors and are cultured people!”

After she finished speaking, she looked at the old lady in disdain and said with a faint smile, “I heard that you’ve never been to school before?”

Of course, the old lady had never attended school. Furthermore, when she married the old patriarch, she was still farming in her old home. The Xue family had only risen to its current status because of Xue Sheng.

The sarcasm in that person’s words made the old lady’s face turn red. “I’ve never been to school, but I’m also her mother-in-law! She has to be filial to me! She has to earn a living under me!”

Liu Yiqiu, who was beside her, had not expected this either. Her body immediately started trembling.

If Ye Li could establish a relationship with a big shot like Lin Jing, they should definitely not dare to do anything bad. She walked to the old lady’s side and held her arm. “Mom, stop talking. Stop talking. That’s Lin Jing, Lin Jing!”

Xue Yao, who was beside her, suddenly reacted. “No wonder Xiang Huai treats Xue Xi so well and is so humble. It’s because Ye Li knows Lin Jing! Moreover, their relationship is so good!! Xiang Huai is a businessman and is in charge of the special department. He definitely has to negotiate with them to curry favor with the Xiang family…”

The moment she said this, the old lady took a step forward. “No, our family hasn’t even eaten the benefits that Lin Jing brought. Why should we let their God of Fortune Group eat it? Come, follow me upstairs!”

Liu Yiqiu and Xue Yao looked at each other. Their eyes lit up as they followed behind the old lady.

When they went upstairs, the bodyguards in black stopped them. However, the old lady shouted loudly and the people inside sent a message to let them in.

She successfully entered the room. The moment Old Lady Xue entered, she saw Xiang Huai standing there, smiling as though he was talking.

He looked like he was here to please someone.

Old Lady Xue rolled her eyes. In the past, she had thought that Xiang Huai’s identity was impressive, but now, he was nothing but trash.

“This is my mother.” Xue Sheng introduced her to Mr. Xiang and Lin Jing awkwardly.

Xiang Huai’s father had a good upbringing. Although he appeared to be very domineering, he was very calm and gave off a scholarly vibe. He looked directly at Old Lady Xue and exchanged some pleasantries.

Xiang Huai, who was beside him, turned around and left, intending to see if Xue Xi was done preparing.

However, just as he stepped out of the door, Old Lady Xue’s eyes darted around and she said ingratiatingly, “Mr. Xiang, that young man who went out is my Xixi’s boyfriend. He hasn’t even gotten engaged yet and is an outsider. That child really doesn’t know how to be polite. He doesn’t even know how to greet us before he goes out. Don’t take offense… He’s usually like this. His eyes are always on the top of his head when it comes to me. He doesn’t even want to look at me. Just because he has some money and power, he looks down on us… He’s not as amiable as you!”

The room fell silent.

The old lady was stunned and did not understand what had happened.

At that moment, although Mr. Xiang’s tone was polite, his smile was gone. “Old lady, you’re right. When we get home, I’ll definitely teach this brat a lesson. It’s also because I’m usually too busy to care about him. My son has caused you trouble!”

Old Lady Xue: “???”

She was completely stunned this time.

What?

What did this big shot say?
