【Aloof Older Man × Frail, Pseudo-Innocent Flower, Age Gap + Female Lead's Deliberate Approach】
When Mr. Li visited Jing City, he returned with a young girl by his side.
<...Chapter 112 Newcomer Whisper
Jiang Qinyuan stood by, leaning on a chair, looking at Lin Shutang. Seeing the confusion on her face, she explained, "Vinson has his own makeup company, so he will recruit some models."
"But, I hired you to work here today, and I paid you. Now you are burning my money to find employees for yourself. Is that appropriate?" She said this to Vinson.
Vinson put away his brush. "At worst, I'll give you a free meal this time."
It can be seen that they have a good relationship.
Lin Shutang smiled easily: "Thank you, Mr. Vinson, I will consider your suggestion."
Lin Shutang finished doing all his hairstyles at six o'clock, just in time to go out.
Zhao Lanzhi knocked on the door, and when she saw Lin Shutang coming out, her pupils shrank slightly. She secretly criticized in her heart: "That little girl, just like her mother, has a foxy look."
He thought so in his heart, but did not show it on his face. He smiled with narrowed eyes and looked very happy.
"Our Shutang looks really good today. If your parents saw you like this, they would definitely be very happy."
As he spoke, he walked forward and wanted to take Lin Shutang's arm, but was blocked by Jiang Qinyuan, who was narrating.
"Shutang has trypophobia, stay away from her."
Zhao Lanzhi looked at Lin Shutang, motioning for her to speak. But even though she blinked so hard that her eyelids were almost sore, Lin Shutang didn't even look at her.
In the end, she could only ignore the looks of the relatives around her and save face by saying, "Haha, two little girls, they have a good relationship."
At 7:40 in the evening, several cars stopped in front of the hotel.
Lin Shutang's skirt was quite long, so when she got out of the car, Jiang Qinyuan bent down to help her lift it up, and then put it down.
Although it was just an engagement, the Jin family seemed to attach great importance to it. They even asked someone to lay a blanket at the entrance of the hotel. Normally, there would be no blanket under the stairs.
Perhaps the Jin family wanted to clear the label from Jin Yiming, so they invited quite a few people to the hasty engagement. Relatives were a minority, and the majority were business partners.
Halfway through, Jin Yiming took her hand and went on stage to give a speech. As they walked among the crowd, he leaned over to Lin Shutang's ear and said, "You usually look sickly without makeup, but I didn't expect you to look so good with makeup on."
Lin Shutang maintained a smile on his face: "It's just right to be a vase, isn't it?"
Jin Yiming didn't expect her to say that to him, and raised his eyebrows: "That's right."
Everyone watched their series of small actions, and although they couldn't hear what they were saying, they just thought they were close and were whispering to each other during such a short period of time.
Seeing this, the Jin family's parents were also grinning from ear to ear. No matter what the two said to each other, to outsiders, they looked loving and affectionate. It was only a matter of time before their son's past was cleared up.
When the two of them get married and have children, everyone will forget about this matter. At that time, when people mention this matter again, they will just treat it as a rumor and laugh it off.
Lin Shutang and Jin Yiming were together at the banquet. As everyone dispersed, Jin Yiming placed his hand on Lin Shutang's waist, shielding her from the alcohol. However, there were several tables of elders from the Jin family who couldn't be declined, so Lin Shutang inevitably had a couple of drinks. Fortunately, she had spoken to the Jin family in advance, so they prepared drinks that smelled of alcohol but weren't too strong.
Above the banquet hall, Li Yansheng shook the red wine glass in his hand, lowered his eyes and looked at the girl downstairs who was always smiling, his face full of unfathomable complexity.
She was wearing a light pink long skirt with the fabric on the hem made to look like feathers. When it swayed, it seemed to come alive and was extremely agile.
"How was it? Was it fun?" Seeing Li Yansheng's humiliation, Jiang Beiqian gloated. Then, realizing he'd been a bit too cocky.
To be honest, it was true that he and Li Yansheng had shared a house together before, but during his three years as a graduate student, Li Yansheng was mostly elusive and rarely stayed with them.
His relationship with Li Yansheng had always remained at the stage of roommates, neither close nor distant.
It was only after Li Yansheng arrived in Beijing that the relationship between the two of them inexplicably grew closer. Jiang Beiqian initially thought it was due to their collaboration, but later discovered that was not the case. It was not until he met Lin Shutang in Li Yansheng's office that day that he finally understood the reason for this change.
He never expected that one day he would be able to rise to fame thanks to his sister.
