Cousin?

This attracted Bai Lin’s attention. After all, according to what Yan Ruo had said when he invited her, the only thing that made him feel annoyed and unhappy was this bunch of relatives.

Although Yan Ruo’s words did not go to that extent, Bai Lin always felt some pity for him. She subconsciously assumed that Yan Ruffs relatives must be some kind of scourge. In her imagination, Yan Ruo must be weak, pitiful, and helpless in this kind of occasion—being bullied verbally, physically, and in all other ways.

As such, Bai Lin was prejudiced. Even though Yan Yue was only following the rules and there was nothing wrong with her attitude, Bai Lin still felt a sense of hostility toward jer.

“Yes.” Facing Yan Yue’s question, Yan Ruffs attitude was much calmer.

He took Bai Lin’s hand and walked into the banquet hall.

“This is Bai Lin, Miss Bai. She’s a friend that I value very much. If any of you want to go against her, then you’re going against me.” Yan Ruo looked around. When those people heard this, their faces were filled with disbelief, shock, and fear.

He curved his lips in satisfaction and his tone softened a little. “l hope you will be polite to Xiao Lin. She is a gentle girl. For her to hit someone, you must have done something too much. I’ll investigate who made Xiao Lin so unhappy immediately.”

Gentle? How could a gentle girl say such vulgarities?

The few heiresses did not dare to voice out their anger. Yan Ruffs favoritism toward Bai Lin was already obvious. At this moment, as long as they were not idiots and still wanted to maintain a good relationship with the Yan family, they would not dare to go up and find trouble with Yan Ruo.

“As for you.” Yan Ruo looked at Miss Sun, who had spoken up for Yan Yue and said that Bai Lin should not be here. “You’ve offended Xiao Lin with harsh words.’

The temperature in Yan Ruffs voice suddenly dropped, and it even carried a hint of unquestionable authority. “You should apologize to my friend.”

Miss Sun’s face turned from green to red, and finally to a deathly pale.

Without waiting for Miss Sun’s response, Yan Ruo turned to Bai Lin and asked, “Is it fine for her to apologize to you?”

Bai Lin was puzzled. Why did it seem a little different from what she had imagined?

Was she not supposed to stand up for Yan Ruo when he was being bullied? How did it become Yan Ruo supporting her now?

“Oh… sure.” This was Yan Ruffs grandmother’s birthday banquet, and Bai Lin did not want to make a big deal out of it and embarrass Yan Ruo, so she agreed.

Miss Sun felt as if her face had been pressed to the ground and wiped with mud. Her expression was extremely ugly, but she did not feel like she had done anything wrong. From the bottom of her heart, she still felt that Bai Lin did not deserve to be here.

As for why Yan Ruo was so fond of Bai Lin, it must be because Bai Lin had used some underhanded methods to seduce him, like her seductive face.

However, Yan Ruo had already spoken for her to apologize. If she did not do it, she would be going against him and the entire Yan family. At that time, the Sun family would have to face a situation that was a hundred times more difficult than her current situation.

Her lips moved slightly; she lowered her head and said in a low voice, “I’m sorry…”

Miss Sun’s hands that were by her side had already started to tremble. However, when she raised her eyes to secretly glance at Yan Ruo, she realized that Yan Ruo still seemed to be very dissatisfied with her.

As if she had put down all her dignity, she clenched her fists and closed her eyes as she said loudly, “I’m sorry, Miss Bai! It’s my fault for offending you! 1 hope that you’ll be magnanimous and forgive my rudeness!”

This time, Yan Ruo seemed to be finally satisfied. He nodded. “Well, since you know you’re in the wrong, don’t let me know that you, or anyone else, dare to be rude to Xiao Lin again.”

After speaking, Yan Ruo held Bai Lin’s hand and walked forward. As they walked, he smiled and asked Bai Lin, “How long have you been here? Why didn’t you call in advance? Are you hungry after waiting outside for so long?

I’ll take you to eat something good first.”

Yan Yue looked at the two’s backs that did not match each other at all, and her exquisite, nude-colored nails dug into the flesh of her palms..
