In the main room of the Lin family home, Lin family relatives and friends, along with Li family relatives, chatted and laughed, getting along very well. Everyone's faces were filled with bright smiles, and the atmosphere was very lively and cheerful.

Lin Piaoxue watched with a smug look on her face as Li Qiang chatted effortlessly with her relatives. She was very happy and glad that she hadn't chosen the wrong person.

Standing in the corner, Lin Qinghuan saw that Lin Piaoxue looked very happy. It seemed that she was really satisfied with Li Qiang. Lin Piaoxue must have calmed down and genuinely wanted to live with Li Qiang.

"Snowflakes, we've come to see you!" a shout rang out, and everyone looked towards the doorway.

Lin Piaoxue saw that the people who entered the courtyard were all acquaintances from the past, with whom she had a good relationship. They were all young men who had admired her in the past. She frowned slightly. She had not been in contact with them for a long time. Why would they come to visit at this time, during the New Year?

When Lin Piaoxue saw Li Jian, her face darkened. It was Li Jian. Li Jian must have specifically notified them to come.

What is Li Jian trying to do? Is he deliberately trying to ruin his own wedding?

Just because I rejected his love, does he want to ruin my marriage?

What a petty and narrow-minded person! It was right of me not to choose Li Jian. How could someone so narrow-minded and incompetent possibly find happiness?

Thinking of this, Lin Piaoxue felt very dissatisfied and disgusted with Li Jian.

Seeing the look of disgust on Lin Piaoxue's face, Li Jian's eyes flashed with madness. "Lin Piaoxue, I hope you like the wedding gift I gave you today!"

Lin's parents knew that Li Jian liked Lin Piaoxue. Today was Piaoxue's engagement day, but he brought so many people to their door, which was obviously ill-intentioned. They were very uneasy.

Lin Qing and Lin Feng exchanged bewildered glances. What exactly did Li Jian want to do? Was he here to steal the bride?

Lin Feng looked at his grandfather anxiously and said, "Grandpa, Li Jian's visit doesn't seem friendly!"

Grandpa Lin looked at Li Jian with a slightly cold gaze, then turned to Lin Feng and Lin Qing and said, "It's the Lunar New Year, and today is also the day of Piao Xue's engagement. We should treat all guests as guests and see what Li Jian wants to do first."

Li Qiang watched as Li Jian led a large group of people into the Lin family home. Worried that Li Jian would cause trouble, he turned to look at Li Changqing and Wang Cuihua. Seeing their grim expressions, Li Qiang's heart skipped a beat. He quickly walked up to Li Jian and stopped him. "Second brother, what brings you here? Is there something you need to see me about?"

A cryptic smile crept across Li Jian's lips. He subtly grabbed Li Qiang's hand, then forcefully pushed it away, saying with a sharp edge, "Brother, today is your engagement day with Piaoxue, so of course I'm here to congratulate you."

“I also brought Piaoxue’s old friends to congratulate her.” Li Jian said as he walked to Lin Piaoxue’s side. “Piaoxue, from now on you are my sister-in-law, and we are family.”

Liu Hai and Jia Si walked up to Lin Piaoxue and looked her up and down. Jia Si said, "Piaoxue, I thought you would marry one of us. I never thought you would marry Li Jian's older brother."

Liu Hai said sadly, "Piaoxue, look at the way you look at me. I thought you liked me. I thought you didn't want to date me because your family wasn't well-off and you felt inferior and unworthy of me. Now that your family is better off and our families are a good match, you still chose to marry Li Jian's brother."

"Snowflake, I've been trying to convince my family to accept you, so why did you betray me?"

Lin Qinghuan was stunned by Liu Hai's infatuated yet idiotic appearance! Holy crap! This idiot Liu Hai actually thinks that Lin Piaoxue's family background is not good enough, which is why she doesn't want to date him.

Wang Kun looked at Lin Piaoxue and said dejectedly, "Piaoxue, we've known you for so many years, and I've liked you for so many years. You're always so gentle and soft-spoken to me. I even mistakenly thought you liked me too."

Lin Piaoxue tried to calm herself down and said calmly, "Wang Kun, I have always regarded you as a friend and family. You are overthinking it."

The man who came with Jas and the others looked at Lin Piaoxue with a complicated expression.

A handsome man wearing glasses stared intently at Lin Piaoxue, gritting his teeth as he said, "Lin Piaoxue, you should be able to tell that we all like you. You enjoy our care but ignore our feelings and turn around to marry Li Jian's brother. Are you playing with us and feeling a sense of accomplishment?"

Lin Piaoxue felt a pang of resentment when she saw the people who had once protected her looking at her with hostility and questioning her.

Lin Qinghuan looked at Lin Piaoxue with great interest, wanting to see how she would respond.

Lin Piaoxue felt uncomfortable under everyone's gaze, as if pricked by needles. Li Qiang approached Lin Piaoxue and took her hand.

Lin Piaoxue felt much more at ease when Li Qiang held her hand, and she returned the grip.

Lin Qinghuan watched Li Qiang and Lin Piaoxue's interaction, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. Li Qiang was truly a kind, righteous, and responsible person; Lin Piaoxue had struck gold.

Lin Piaoxue said emphatically, "My kind words to you are out of politeness and are just normal interactions between people. I am very grateful and touched that you have kindly helped and protected me. As for the rest, I have no way to repay you."

Haha, what gratitude, what emotion, what a way to repay! Truly shameless Lin Piaoxue.

Lin Qinghuan looked up at the men at Lin Piaoxue's feet. There were fourteen men in total, fourteen sycophants. These were just a few of the sycophants. If all of Lin Piaoxue's sycophants came, there would be several tables. Lin Piaoxue's title of "Sea Queen" was well-deserved.
