Chapter 11: Always Misunderstood
The banquet was held in the northern suburbs, at a villa of the Chen family.
Lin Shuwan wore a moon-white strapless dress with a princess-style hem. She looked playful and cute. It was chosen for her by her mother.
When Qiu Jing chose the dress for her, she was very happy and treated her sincerely.
But perhaps Qiu Jing herself did not realize that the style of dress she chose was the one that Lin Yuyao liked.
Lin Shuwan didn't care. It was rare for Lin's mother to treat her like this, and she never asked for anything she didn't deserve.
Lin Shuwan sat in the car, tugged at her dress, and twisted her body uncomfortably.
"What's wrong?" Lin Mucheng asked.
"fine."
Lin Shuwan sat down, paused, and couldn't help asking, "Will Fu Yanci go tonight?"
If Fu Yan couldn't resign tonight, not only would she have no chance to discuss cooperation, but the Lin family and others would also think that she, an illegitimate daughter, was eager to join the circle of wealthy families.
It's simply not worth it!
Lin Mucheng tilted his head with a gentle smile. He was wearing a well-ironed white suit, which made him look even more handsome.
"Why are you asking about Yan Ci? His whereabouts are erratic and few people know his itinerary."
"Okay, I'm just asking."
Lin Mucheng's gentle eyes looked at Lin Shuwan calmly.
The light inside the car was not dim, and it shone on Lin Shuwan's porcelain-white skin, almost making it glow. Her skin was whiter than her dress.
She has a cute princess bun, and the slightly curly hair frames her small and delicate face. Her profile is superior, her facial features are three-dimensional, and she is very beautiful.
Lin Shuwan and Lin Yuyao have two different styles, and Lin Shuwan is obviously more beautiful and charming.
If you wear a slim and sexy dress, your beauty will be even more breathtaking.
Lin Yuyao has delicate features and is not ugly, a pretty girl next door, but she always looks a little dull in front of Lin Shuwan.
Lin Mucheng's deep, clear voice echoed in the carriage, "Shuwan, the Fu family is not something that ordinary people can mess with. Yanci has an unpredictable personality, and even Yaoyao, who grew up with him, can't figure out his mind."
Lin Shuwan opened his eyes wide and looked at Lin Mucheng in disbelief.
She naturally understood Lin Mucheng's subtext, and with a breath stuck in her chest, she blurted out:
"I don't have any feelings for Fu Yanci! I won't compete with Lin Yuyao for it!"
Lin Shuwan felt wronged and felt sad that he could never fit in and was guarded against and excluded.
She hadn't done anything to threaten their interests, but each of them seemed to think she had ulterior motives.
If you are really so afraid of her existence, then why do you want to bring her back?
Lin Mucheng's words seemed to be concerned, but in fact, every word was reminding her——
Lin Yuyao likes Fu Yanci, you are not allowed to compete with her for her.
It's crazy!
Lin Shuwan had a terrible headache, his cold hadn't healed, and he had a lot of things piled up in his mind.
She knew that Lin Mucheng had misunderstood what she had just said, so she lowered her head, rubbed her forehead, and explained calmly.
"It's about work. I have some contact with Dingsheng."
She didn't say too much, for fear that Lin Mucheng would misunderstand and think she was hinting at him to help put in a good word for Fu Yanci.
It is true that too much talk leads to mistakes.
Seeing Lin Shuwan's reaction, Lin Mucheng knew that he was overthinking it, and the atmosphere became a little awkward for a moment.
He always appears gentle and considerate in public, and it is rare for him to give such an aggressive warning as he did just now.
Lin Shuwan seemed a little angry and not in a very good mood, with a hint of sadness hidden between her brows. Lin Mucheng felt a little sour in his heart.
"That's not what I meant. I'm worried that you don't understand the situation. What if you accidentally offend Yan Ci and get bullied?"
Lin Shuwan had never been so tired before. Before speaking, he had to think about whether he would be misunderstood.
Her tone also became much stiffer. She looked out the window coldly and said calmly, "Don't worry, I won't cause any trouble for the Lin family."
Lin Mucheng: "That's not what I meant..."
The atmosphere in the carriage was filled with awkwardness and stiffness, and Lin Mucheng tried to ease it.
"I heard from Mom that you're starting a business with your friends. If you have any difficulties, tell me. If you're really tired, come to Lin's and I'll arrange an easier position for you."
Lin Shuwan: "No need, I won't touch the Lin family's property."
“........”
Between them, one tried his best to make amends after misunderstanding someone for the first time, while the other put up a high wall after being misunderstood.
When she was sincere, he didn't care, and when he was sincere, she didn't want to believe it anymore.
Lin Shuwan sometimes feels very tired.
She had already surrendered and handed over her weapon, but others still suspected that she had a backup plan.
This pale feeling of powerlessness makes people particularly irritated.
Only after arriving at Chen's house and getting out of the car and no longer being in the same enclosed space did Lin Shuwan feel like he could breathe a sigh of relief.
During the meal, Lin Mucheng tried his best to help Lin Shuwan make connections, but Lin Shuwan found an excuse to escape.
She didn't want to be misunderstood as trying to curry favor with the rich and powerful, so she just tried to stay as far away from them as possible.
The Chen family's banquet was on a large scale. The guests were dressed in suits and tuxedos, toasting and chatting with each other.
But Lin Shuwan looked throughout the venue and did not see Fu Yanci.
Didn’t you come?
Then she really lost more than she gained today!
Lin Shuwan took a glass of blueberry-flavored wine with a bit of depression.
"Hey! How come our Yaoyao has become so beautiful after not seeing her for a few days?"
A pleasant teasing voice sounded, and an arm was placed on Lin Shuwan's shoulder.
After He Yunzhuo saw who it was, he immediately let go and took two steps back, looking embarrassed and apologetic.
"Oh, Xiao Shuwan, I'm so sorry. Mu Cheng always brought Yu Yao with him before, so I made a mistake. I'm really sorry."
Lin Shuwan's thick eyelashes fell, and when she raised them again, her eyes were clear and bright, and she smiled calmly.
"It doesn't matter. Lin Yuyao is still playing abroad, so the Lin family asked me to come out and see the world."
"Um...that's not what I meant..." He Yunzhuo scratched his head awkwardly.
He has always been outspoken, and he didn't think much about it just now and said it out loud.
But those words sounded like they were mocking Lin Shuwan for dressing like Lin Yuyao and showing off while Lin Yuyao was away.
Lin Shuwan had endured suspicions with ulterior motives for an entire night, but now, miraculously, his heart was calm.
Forget it, she has no way to defend herself, so it’s better not to argue and just treat everyone as shit.
He Yunzhuo really didn't mean any other thing, but he also knew how frustrating it was to be misunderstood, so he tried to coax the person by calling her "good sister" all the time, and finally made the person laugh.
"I really didn't mean anything by that. Didn't you hear me praising your beauty? Seriously! I'm not lying to you. Look how many people have stole glances at you this evening."
He Yunzhuo stood by Lin Shuwan like a knight, as if he was worried that this simple girl from the countryside would be deceived by a group of uneducated and uncultured young men.
Although he and Lin Yuyao have known each other since childhood and have a closer relationship, after interacting with Lin Shuwan, he found that she has a gentle and generous personality, without the deep scheming of those illegitimate girls, and is not annoying.
He Yunzhuo is handsome and humorous. Lin Shuwan's depressed mood improved a lot overnight.
It was boring to stay at the party any longer, and Lin Shuwan was just trying to find an excuse to leave when there was suddenly a commotion at the door.
A man in a well-tailored handmade suit appeared. He was tall and handsome, but his casual look could not hide his aggressive and strong temperament.
The prey I waited for all night finally arrived.
