Soon, someone approached Xu Wen Jing.
“Miss Xu is here? Why didn’t Mr. Lin come with you?” someone curiously inquired and tried to please her.
Xu Wen Jing smiled gracefully and casually adjusted her well-curled hair. “Ah Chen has been busy with his injury and the development of a case these days, so he couldn’t make it today.”
Upon hearing this, everyone felt a bit disappointed.
However, Xu Wen Jing quickly added, “But even though Ah Chen isn’t here, Uncle will come.”
The uncle she referred to was naturally Lin Yi Chen’s father, Lin Haowei.
Hearing that Lin Haowei would be coming, everyone’s expressions brightened.
Although Lin Haowei had retired from the frontlines in recent years, he remained the ultimate authority behind the Lin Group.
Seeing him was just as exciting.
As expected, Lin Haowei soon descended the hotel’s spiral staircase and moved gracefully among the crowd, exchanging greetings with people he knew.
Members of the Xu family immediately went over to greet him.
Upon seeing Xu Wen Jing, Lin Haowei smiled warmly at her. “Wen Jing, you’re here?”
“Uncle, it’s been a while since I last saw you. How’s your health these days?” Xu Wen Jing appeared obedient and sensible.
Although she and Ah Chen were engaged, Lin Haowei spent most of his time in their old mansion, and they rarely met throughout the year.
Lin Haowei, pleased with Xu Wen Jing’s demeanor, nodded approvingly. “I’m doing well, thank you.”
He then engaged in conversation with Wen Jing’s parents.
While others, witnessing the strong bond between the Xu and Lin families couldn’t help but envy.
However, they heard that Xu Wen Jing might be unable to have children.
In that case, they still have some chance.
After all, the Lin family couldn’t afford to let Lin Yi Chen be the last heir.
Just then, at the entrance of the hall, members of the Zhou family arrived.
Unexpectedly, this time Zhou Jiancheng was accompanied not by his attractive female secretary but by a tall, handsome, and enigmatic man.
Who was this person?
Why had they never seen him before?
As everyone was curious, Zhou Jiancheng with a forced smile, introduced him to everyone one by one.
“This is my late brother’s son, Yi Lingfeng, who has been developing abroad and just returned recently,” Zhou Jiancheng explained.
Zhou Jiancheng’s eldest brother was known to some of the old-established families.
Initially, the Zhou family was just a small clan in Jiangcheng, but after Zhou Jiancheng’s brother married the heiress of the Yi family, the Zhou family’s fortunes began to rise, thanks to the support of the Yi family.
Unfortunately, both of them tragically passed away in a car accident, and the Yi family gradually adopted the Zhou surname.
Nevertheless, the current Zhou family was not to be underestimated.
After quickly understanding the situation, many families with daughters inquired about Yi Lingfeng’s marital status.
Zhou Jiancheng, who feared that Yi Lingfeng might find a powerful in-law, immediately said with a smile, “Yi Lingfeng is already married!”
Fortunately, this guy found a woman without money or influence abroad.
Upon hearing this, the crowd felt disappointed once again.
Yi Lingfeng was so young and already married?
On the other hand, Yi Lingfeng looked coldly at Zhou Jiancheng who seemed eager to announce his married status to the world.
Hmph! Did Yi Lingfeng need to rely on marriage to reclaim what belonged to the Yi family?
Xu Wen Jing also noticed Yi Lingfeng.
In terms of looks, Yi Lingfeng was not inferior to Lin Yi Chen, and his air of disinterest in women made him even more intriguing to them.
