Jin Lan collapsed to the ground in utter despair, her lips twitching, but she could no longer utter a sound.
Having been in this circle for a long time, she knew that even if she was loyal and innocent, she would inevitably be used as a punching bag and cannon fodder.
"Miss Lin, are you surprised to see me?"
Zhao asked Xun a question he already knew the answer to.
She glanced at Jin Lan out of the corner of her eye, then raised her hand and elegantly brushed aside her bangs, explaining casually:
"I came because I wanted to invite Miss Lin to this wedding banquet. After all, she gave a nine-figure wedding gift, so it's worth it for me to come and offer this toast."
After speaking, he turned to Jinlan:
"Miss Jin is quite particular. Since you're already here, why not have a drink before you leave? Even if you don't give me a gift, do you think I'd be stingy with a drink?"
This inadvertently spoke the truth for Jin Lan, proving that she had indeed been keeping a close eye on things the whole time.
"So, you didn't have an allergic reaction?" Lin Qinghao was too lazy to beat around the bush and play riddles with her, so she just tore off the mask of politeness:
"Is it because the desserts are not made well? Or is love really magical, not only able to relieve the pain of longing, but also to relieve allergies?"
Zhao Wenxun hadn't expected her to dare to confront him head-on, so he laughed and said:
"It's obvious from just one listen that Miss Lin has never truly loved. Otherwise, you would know that love is utterly useless. What can relieve the pain of longing is a lover, and what can save me from the torment of allergies is my lover."
Zhao Wenxun's hand touched Shen Linfeng's face.
Shen Linfeng caught her:
"Don't make a scene in front of everyone."
Zhao Wenxun said coquettishly:
"What are you afraid of? You and I are protected by law. Who would dare to gossip?"
Tang Li stood to the side, a maternal smile on her face.
Lin Qinghao left with a look of disgust:
"If you want to show off your love, please do it somewhere else behind closed doors. It's disgusting and immoral to do it in broad daylight."
When the word "immoral" came up, Shen Linfeng pulled out a pastry chef's business card from his pocket and placed it in front of Lin Qinghao:
"Mibao's desserts are truly unparalleled. I always thought you used all your taste in choosing me, your ex-boyfriend, but I never expected that you would contribute such a rare taste to my wedding. I still want to thank you; you're so thoughtful."
Mibao.
This ambiguous form of address.
Lin Qinghao immediately turned her gaze to Zhao Wenxun, only to see Zhao Wenxun adjusting Chen Linfeng's collar and acting coquettishly:
"I haven't had enough of the desserts Mibao made yet."
She didn't seem to mind at all that her husband addressed another woman so affectionately.
Lin Qinghao understood immediately:
"Chen Mi betrayed me!"
hateful!
Unreliable when it matters!
Shen Linfeng frowned: "She didn't betray you. She did make the dessert according to your requirements for the part you paid for. After all, she was loyal to the person she was entrusted with, which is her most basic professional ethics. But beyond that, she understands the principle of being a good person before doing things. An excellent pastry chef must first maintain his or her integrity, and only then should he care about the desserts he makes."
That's still betrayal!
If Zhao Wenxun didn't get to eat the dessert that caused her allergies, then that was Chen Mi's fault.
Lin Qinghao was furious. She couldn't understand why Tang Li and Zhao Wenxun seemed to have a third eye, able to anticipate everything they did.
Not only did it cause her to fail at the last minute, but it also resulted in heavy losses.
"The victor is king, the loser is villain. I did it, so what are you going to do about it?"
Since things had come to this point, Lin Qinghao was too lazy to find a scapegoat.
It's better to admit it openly and honestly.
Shen Linfeng was very disappointed in her:
“I was sincere to you. Even though you are now covered in filth and full of bad intentions, I dare to admit in front of everyone that during the time we were together, I never stopped thinking about marrying you.”
To have loved is to have loved.
"But now you really should take a good look in the mirror. What do you have left after all these years, besides being opportunistic and scheming?"
She was once a passionate person eager to achieve great things, but now, in order to get rid of her status as an illegitimate child, she has gone further and further astray down the wrong path.
"Your heart is filthy, so you think others will follow your lead. Today, Mibao took the initiative to contact me. She stood in front of me and sincerely told me that if someone pays her, she will naturally do the job. However, she learned that Xunxun is allergic to crushed peanuts, so she suggested that Xunxun eat snacks without crushed peanuts."
I made my first dessert to make a living.
Making a second dessert is for the purpose of nourishing the heart.
One must be worthy of the money in one's pocket, and also worthy of one's conscience as one walks between heaven and earth.
Lin Qing snorted coldly:
"You don't need to say so much nonsense. I already know that Chen Mi is in cahoots with you. What else do you want? Do you want to call her here to slap me in the face?"
Shen Linfeng was so angry that he was speechless. Although he did not deny that he had loved her before, the fact that he had once loved her now made him feel utterly humiliated.
Zhao Wenxun pulled him back slightly, so he could face Lin Qinghao directly:
“I heard from Linfeng that you used to be an ambitious and dreamy girl. Today I will teach you some lessons that teachers in school would not teach you.”
Releasing Shen Linfeng's hand, Zhao Wenxun sat down in the spot where Tang Li had stood up:
"The business world is like a battlefield. As a businessman, you should know that besides money, you also need to protect your weaknesses. Do you know why everyone can find out that I'm allergic to crushed peanuts?"
Lin Qinghao looked up at her.
