At tonight's charity auction, Lin Xuqiu is still a dazzling presence.
She wore the latest French haute couture burgundy evening gown, which was tailored to the body and had a hollow waist design that outlined her slender waist curve and revealed a large white back. With the embellishment of a jewel necklace, she looked breathtakingly beautiful.
As the saying goes, enemies always meet.
Since the last time the two families met, Lin Xuqiu has not met Lin Xi again.
When I saw Lin Xi again this time, her whole temperament had changed drastically, and she had the aura of a wealthy socialite.
The change in clothing and makeup also gave Lin Xi's ordinary and pretty face a bit of the elegant temperament of Luo Hanshuang.
When they first met, Lin Xi's eyes were bright and clear, and a little silly, but now her eyes are gentle and noble, revealing pride.
Lin Xuqiu didn't believe that a few months could change a person to this extent. He could only say that Lin Xi was originally such a person.
At this time, Lin Xi was wearing a clean and fresh solid-color fishtail evening gown, with elegant makeup and a gentle smile on her face.
"Long time no see, Lin Xuqiu."
Lin Xuqiu responded politely but distantly.
"Well, hello."
Lin Xi's cousin Lin Yu smiled slightly.
"It turns out to be cousin Xuqiu."
She suddenly seemed to realize something, covered her mouth, and said with an exaggerated expression of surprise.
"Oh, I almost forgot, you are no longer the daughter of our Lin family, nor my cousin, but a fake who has taken over the magpie's nest."
Her voice was loud enough for people around to hear, and they turned to look over here.
Many people watched with the intention of watching the fun, and many rich young men felt pity when they saw a beauty like Lin Xuqiu being bullied.
Lin Xuqiu's expression remained unchanged, and she smiled brightly.
"I'm glad I'm not a daughter of the Lin family. It's a terrible thing to be related to someone as sarcastic, uneducated, and stupid as you."
"Lin Yuwei, your clown-like performance is truly disgusting."
Lin Yuwei was so angry that she wanted to curse, but was stopped by Lin Xi.
"Xuqiu, Sister Yuwei is still young, and what she said just now was unintentional."
"As Yu Wei's former cousin, it's really inappropriate for you to say such harsh words."
Lin Xuqiu chuckled, deliberately stretched out her hand to applaud, and showed Lin Xi the bracelet on her hand.
"Oh, you guys think I'm boring and are putting on a big show for me, right?"
"If I remember correctly, Lin Yuwei is 21 years old this year. Her brain should be fully developed at this age. How dare you tell me you're young?"
Lin Xi didn't hear clearly what Lin Xuqiu was saying. Her eyes were fixed on the bracelet on Lin Xuqiu's hand.
This bracelet is a family heirloom that my grandma has been wearing all the time. She treasures it very much.
Why did the bracelet appear on Lin Xuqiu's hand?
Lin Xi felt a panic in his heart, feeling that something seemed to have been stolen.
In the past few months, she has been busy learning various etiquettes of wealthy families, making friends with socialites, holding art exhibitions, etc., and has not returned to her adoptive parents' home for a long time.
Could it be that Lin Xuqiu has replaced her? This is impossible, absolutely impossible. Lin Xi does not believe this assumption.
At this time, Lin Yuwei gritted his teeth and said.
"Lin Xuqiu, I've seen people with thick skin, but I've never seen anyone as thick-skinned as you. You've enjoyed all the glory and wealth of the Lin family, yet you still don't know how to be grateful."
Lin Xuqiu thought this was a joke and said sarcastically.
"Lin Yuwei, even if I'm grateful, it's not your turn. You should consider your own worth."
"Oh, by the way, Yan Ci told me that your father recently got a project from the Wen Group. I think after tonight, your father will thank you very much for being such a good daughter."
Lin Yuwei heard the threat in Lin Xuqiu's words and her expression suddenly became panicked.
"Lin Xuqiu, this involves the two of us. If you bring this up to my father, I'll really look down on you."
Lin Xuqiu's smile became more and more charming.
"Lin Yuwei, who do you think you are? Do I care whether you think highly of me or not?"
The people around also thought that Lin Yuwei's behavior this time was too stupid. How dare she blatantly embarrass others in such an occasion, and end up being humiliated.
Even if Lin Xuqiu is not the daughter of the Lin family, she is still the eldest lady of the Wen family. She is not someone Lin Yuwei can afford to offend.
Suddenly someone in the crowd said, "Young Master Wen is here."
At this time, the discussion stopped and everyone turned around and looked behind them.
Wen Yanci was wearing a top-notch suit, low-key and luxurious, with a high nose, handsome facial features, and a cold and indifferent gaze, exuding a noble temperament.
He walked to Lin Xuqiu, put his arm around her shoulders, and looked coldly at the woman opposite him.
"The Lin family's daughter is really well-educated. Her behavior just now was shocking. It seems that the Lin family's family tradition is just like this. There is no need for the Wen and Lin families to cooperate anymore."
After saying that, he took Lin Xuqiu's hand and left the banquet.
Lin Yuwei was so ashamed of what she said.
Lin Xi, who was standing aside, looked at the man in disbelief with mixed feelings.
It turned out that he was the fiancé that her mother said should have belonged to her.
The man who had once caught her eye and made her miss him for a long time turned out to be her ex-fiancé.
The two had no contact since they parted in the United States. The man seemed to have no impression of her and even defended the imposter in front of her.
Why did he let them meet again, only to let them miss each other again? Why did God play such a joke on her?
Lin Xi felt a pang of heartache.
