Chapter 53 Not Even a Substitute
Lin Rushuang was startled by what the man said behind her, and her heart tightened. She herself didn't know why, but every time she saw He Tingchen, she always felt inexplicably nervous.
There is also some evasion, this man really has a very poisonous tongue.
In front of Lin Yuxi, she naturally couldn't act too casually with He Tingchen.
She subconsciously took two steps back, distanced herself from He Tingchen, and nodded respectfully.
"Mr. He."
When He Tingchen heard her call him "Mr. He" in a cold and distant manner, his brows subconsciously tightened.
"You've been possessed? How come you've become a completely different person in just two days? Did you major in face-changing?"
Lin Rushuang: “…”
She actually wanted to signal He Tingchen to stop talking too much to her.
If Lin Yuxi knew that she had a close relationship with He Tingchen, she would probably meddle in front of the old man again, and she would not be able to get rid of him.
But then I thought again, this man's way of thinking is different from that of normal people. If I wink at him now.
He will probably reply to you directly, "Do your eyes hurt from missing me?"
She simply skipped this step and was about to introduce Lin Yuxi to He Tingchen.
"Mr. He, let me introduce you, this is..."
"Mr. He, I'm Lin Rushuang's sister, Lin Yuxi. It's our first meeting, so please give me your guidance."
Before Lin Rushang could take the initiative to step forward and introduce herself to He Tingchen, Lin Yuxi couldn't help but step forward.
Lin Rushang struggled for a moment, obviously not expecting Lin Yuxi to be so direct. She shrugged her shoulders, which made her seem a little redundant.
Who knew that He Tingchen didn't even raise his eyelids and put his hands back into his trouser pockets.
"In."
Then he lifted his long legs and walked inside.
Lin Yuxi stared at her hand which was still frozen in mid-air, her expression extremely ugly. The corners of her lips were tightly drawn, and she turned to look at Lin Rushang with an unhappy look on her face.
"What happened to you just now? Why didn't you say something for me?"
Lin Rushang just found it funny and shrugged helplessly.
"I was about to speak, but you interrupted me. I thought you could take him down on your own."
After saying that, Lin Rushang lifted her skirt and walked inside.
Lin Yuxi's eyes were filled with reluctance. She curled her lips in displeasure, but had no choice but to follow.
"Wait for me..."
After saying this, he realized that Lin Rushuang, the deaf man, could not hear him.
As soon as Lin Rushang entered, she looked up and saw Li Wenyuan and Jiang Yuyan standing side by side not far away. They were so close that they were almost hugging each other, and they were so close that they were almost hugging each other.
Li Wenyuan was wearing a grey suit today. He had a tall figure and his hair was meticulously combed back, making him look a little more distant than usual.
Jiang Yuyan next to her was also wearing a gray suspender dress today, and the two of them looked a bit like a couple's outfit.
If she remembered correctly, Li Wenyuan always wore a black suit when attending banquets, and he was rarely seen in gray or navy blue.
She had suggested changing its color before, but he said he didn't like gray.
She curled her lips in a forced smile, and her clear eyes were full of mockery.
It’s not that he doesn’t like it, he just doesn’t want to change it for himself.
Lin Yuxi walked to her side, followed Lin Rushang's gaze, and saw it too.
She couldn't help but sneer, and her mood instantly became cheerful, and she started to mock Lin Rushuang.
"I was wondering why you came with me today. It turns out my brother-in-law didn't want to bring you along. The girl next to him who looks like a little white rabbit must be his first love, right?"
"It seems like you two have completely different styles. I thought my brother-in-law found someone similar to you, but now it seems like you're not even a stand-in."
Lin Rushuang didn't say anything, and she didn't know whether Lin Yuxi's last sentence was a mockery or a compliment to her.
Not even a substitute.
Who wants to be a stand-in?
Or, she can't even be a substitute.
Lin Rushuang withdrew her gaze awkwardly and raised her wrist to check the time.
"Let me remind you, He Tingchen is only here for half an hour. He has another game to play. You'd better hurry up."
Lin Yuxi's pupils widened: "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Lin Rushang took a glass of champagne from the tray of a waiter passing by, brought it to her lips and took two sips.
"As if I told you you could take her down right away."
Lin Yuxi tilted his head and looked at Lin Rushang with disdain.
"You are jealous of me, right? After all, if I hadn't come back, you might still be the daughter of the Lin family. Unfortunately, now, you are nothing."
Lin Rushang curled the corners of her lips slightly, and was not emotionally irritated by Lin Yuxi's two sentences.
Instead, he replied to her nonchalantly.
"You forgot, I am still the young lady of the Li family."
Lin Yuxi gritted her teeth, the anger in her eyes almost overflowing from her eyes.
"If it weren't for you, I would be the young mistress of the Li family now. Lin Rushuang, you are so shameless. You stole the life that belonged to me, and you are still acting so arrogantly here."
What annoyed her the most was that no matter what she said, Lin Rushuang showed no emotion.
Doesn't she care at all?
How is it possible! Her life was completely changed by my appearance, how could she not hate him at all?
Lin Rushuang was too lazy to pay attention to Lin Yuxi. When she saw He Tingchen in the crowd, his appearance was like the focus. Wherever he went, everyone's eyes were on him.
By now, he was surrounded by the industry's elites, and everyone was toasting him with a warm look on their faces.
He Tingchen held the wine glass with his bony fingers, but his expression was indifferent. Lin Rushang felt that he was a little absent-minded.
Suddenly, the man slowly turned his head, and their eyes met. Lin Rushang was stunned, and her mind went blank for a moment.
The man's deep and bottomless eyes held a hint of teasing, and then he raised his glass slightly towards her, with a wicked smile at the corner of his lips.
Lin Rushang was startled by his meaningful smile and quickly turned her back. Her originally fair and calm cheeks were now slightly red.
Lin Yuxi noticed that something was wrong with Lin Rushang's expression.
"Lin Rushuang, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Rushang turned her eyes away and spoke calmly.
"Nothing, Mr. He is ahead, just hurry up."
"Well, sister, I need your help. I see that you are a little familiar with Mr. He. Can you help me give him this glass of wine? He definitely won't drink it if I give it to him. Even if it's just an introduction to the bar."
Lin Yuxi took another glass of wine from the waiter and handed it to Lin Rushang.
Lin Rushuang didn't think too much about it. After all, Lin Yuxi took the wine from the waiter. If she brought it herself, she would definitely not help.
Who knows what was added to this wine.
Now she just wanted to finish Lin Yuxi's matter as soon as possible and leave.
Lin Rushang took the glass of wine from Lin Yuxi's hand.
"Let's go."
Lin Yuxi's lips curled up into a triumphant smile.
For a man like He Tingchen, traditional methods naturally cannot be used. She knew from the first glance that this man was extremely arrogant.
Ordinary women are simply not attractive to him.
Why waste your time?
