Unlike Father Lin’s roar, Lin Wanli lowered her head and smiled, shattering Father Lin’s fantasy. “No one will think that I’m disloyal and unfilial. At most, everyone will think that the Lin family has many secrets. For example, why is Ye Zhenzhen, the unrelated granddaughter of the Lin Family, more favored by the Old Madam?”

“For example, as my father, you humiliated and reprimanded your daughter in public. Outsiders will not think that I am not filial, but they will be even more confused. Could it be that Ye Zhenzhen has a suspicious relationship with you?”

“Father, have you heard of the Emperor’s New Clothes? Don’t take everyone’s praise as the truth. That’s just the simplest and most effective way to deal with fools.”

As soon as Lin Wanli finished speaking, be it Old Madam Lin or the mother and daughter of the Ye Family, their expressions turned extremely ugly. The ugliest one was still Father Lin, who was almost furious from embarrassment.

However, Lin Wanli’s expression did not change. She said to the man beside her, “Secretary Tao, you heard it too. Old Madam Lin has doubts about my identity and ability. Then, I’ll have to trouble the Chamber of Commerce to hold a decision-making meeting to see if I have the ability.”

When Lin Wanli said this, she subconsciously looked at Ye Zhenzhen.

“Of course, offending me… It wouldn’t be that easy either. Then, I’m sorry for disturbing the birthday banquet.” After Lin Wanli finished speaking, she turned to Dean and Frandy. “I’ll send Dean off tomorrow. I wish you a wonderful night.”

After she finished speaking, Lin Wanli turned around with a smile. She was magnanimous and graceful, unfazed by favor or humiliation.

Even if Father Lin, Old Madam Lin, and the mother and daughter of the Ye Family wanted to tear her apart, she was not afraid at all. Because from the day she became a mother, she had been completely trampled fear under her.

“Is this a public challenge to Old Madam Lin? She’s too daring!”

“Did Lin Wanli become more daring in the past two years?”

“Hehe, I feel really good. They say that when people are ruthless, they have nothing to fear. I didn’t believe it before, but now that Lin Wanli has caused such a ruckus, I feel so good that my head is flying.”

…

Lin Wanli walked out of the crowd. At this moment, a tall figure with a cold breeze suddenly broke into her line of sight and almost hit her nose. The distance between the two of them was so close that in the eyes of outsiders, it was as if they had bumped into each other.

Lin Wanli raised her head and met the person’s gaze. The intense scenes from that morning seemed to have suddenly returned to Lin Wanli’s mind.

“Huo Jiuxiao!”

“It’s Huo Jiuxiao!”

“It’s over. Lin Wanli bumped into Huo Jiuxiao.”

Seeing the person who had come, the guests subconsciously took a step back, as if they would be splashed with blood if they were any slower. It could be seen how much fear these people had accumulated towards Huo Jiuxiao.

When Lin Wanli heard the commotion, she turned her head slightly and frowned. She did not really want Huo Jiuxiao to come into contact with the Lin Family, mainly because they were too despicable.

The scene was too noisy, and Huo Jiuxiao was also very unhappy. It felt like he had entered a chicken farm, and the sound of chickens crowing was all around his ears. It was so noisy that his temples were throbbing as if they would explode in the next second.

[Although I know he won’t be bullied, I don’t want him to say anything to those people.]

Did this woman know what kind of person he was in their hearts?

Why was she so protective of him?

Huo Jiuxiao’s expression eased a little when he thought of the word “protective”.

The two people at the door did not move. Everyone’s gaze was on them.

Lin Wanli was the one who had been dominating the entire place just now. Now that she had bumped into Huo Jiuxiao, who knew how she would be dealt with for revenge?

“Hurry up and apologize! You are better off dead for offending Huo Jiuxiao!” The guests secretly broke out in a cold sweat for Lin Wanli. They were sincerely treating Huo Jiuxiao as a demon, a monster, and a ferocious beast.

Behind the crowd, Ye Zhenzhen had been holding back her anger for the entire night. However, at this moment, she felt a little happy. She thought about how she was humiliated when she accidentally barged into Huo Jiuxiao’s room two years ago. Would Lin Wanli have the same fate today?

Thinking of Lin Wanli’s smug face just now…

She deserved it!

However, at this moment, Mother Lin, who had been weak for the entire night, broke free from Father Lin’s hand and wanted to protect Lin Wanli. However, she was held back by Father Lin.

“Do you know who he is? Are you crazy?”

“Huaijing, our daughter will get hurt.” Mother Lin almost begged.

“You saw how she disobeyed me just now. It’s good to teach her a lesson now!”

Look at this heartless Lin Family.
