The lights in the rooftop garden area dimmed.
The Lin family members moved towards the rooftop garden area, and together with everyone in the restaurant, they walked to the glass window and stopped.
Unlike Lin Xia and Lin Rou, who both looked happy.
Zhang Wanru stood behind them, clutching her chest, looking utterly dejected. The thought of Tong Jiaojiao sitting in the rooftop garden, able to watch the fireworks even closer than she could, made her feel miserable.
The crowd saw several figures walk towards the stage. At the photographer's suggestion, they posed for a photo. The lighting was too dim, so people in the dining area could only get a general idea of what they were doing.
Lin Rou squeezed through the crowd at the glass doorway, creating a space for herself to strike a pose and wait for the fireworks to light up.
Even though some unpleasant comments were circulating around her, she pretended not to hear them.
"Who's that? They're so good at freeloading."
"He's just showing off. He doesn't have money to buy fireworks himself, so what else can he do but freeload?"
"This restaurant attracts a lot of fake socialites who come to take photos. They order one dish and spend the whole day taking pictures, hahaha."
"Haha, she's so lucky to have caught the young master's fireworks ceremony."
Hearing the chatter around her and seeing that her sister had no intention of leaving, Lin Wan sighed deeply. Through the glass, she turned her gaze toward the stage. What's meant to happen will happen. So be it.
Amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd, with a "bang," the fireworks lit up the sky, confetti sprayed out, and a chorus of exclamations followed.
In the very center of the stage, Lin An and Leng Lin, dressed in elegant attire, stood together, while Leng Feng and Tong Jiaojiao stood on either side of them. The happy smiles on their faces shone brighter than fireworks.
Numerous exclamations of admiration rang out around her: "Wow, so beautiful..."
When Zhang Wanru saw Lin An's face clearly, she froze, the world went silent for a moment, and she could only hear her own inner voice:
"Lin An? It really is Lin An! How could he have become like this? Why is he with Tong Jiaojiao? Why is my son so close to Tong Jiaojiao? What right do these people have to enjoy the spotlight here...?"
Lin Rou, who was posing for photos with a smile, could no longer smile. She pressed her face against the glass door in disbelief, repeatedly confirming whether the person was really Lin An.
Lin Zhe's face was gloomy, and he unconsciously clenched his fists. A hint of hatred flashed in his eyes. He hated that the Lin family still had a son.
Lin Wan had already found the quick-acting heart medicine. Her phone was on the dial pad; she had entered 120 and could dial the number with one click.
Only Lin Xia was truly happy. She wanted to ask Lin An if he could help her contact Xu Mo. Moreover, Lin An seemed to be doing quite well now, and Xu Mo would definitely be just as good as him. Lin Xia's hope for life was rekindled.
As the fireworks faded, Lin An, like a gentleman, carefully helped Leng Lin off the stage.
Tong Jiaojiao linked arms with Leng Feng and walked off the stage intimately, their body language overflowing with affection.
Zhang Wanru was going crazy. She pushed aside the people around her and rushed towards the glass door. She wanted to find Lin An and demand an explanation. Whose son was he?
But just as he rushed to the door, he was stopped by a waiter:
"Madam, you cannot enter this area without permission. May I ask which table you are from?"
Lin Rou answered from the side, "Table 30, what's wrong?"
"I'm sorry, the Sky Garden area is only open to guests at the first four tables."
Zhang Wanru became agitated: "I'm a guest too, I paid for the service, why can't I come in?"
Zhang Wanru's voice was loud, instantly drawing everyone's attention to herself.
Lin Rou felt somewhat embarrassed, but being constantly looked down upon by the waiter, and with Lin An, whom she despised, sitting inside, she couldn't help but yell:
"You're just a waiter, what right do you have to stop us? Where's your manager? I'm going to file a complaint against you."
The manager, who was standing next to Lin An, heard the arguing at the glass door and quickly went over.
Lin An stared at the doorway, looking at the Lin family members, his eyes burning with a fury that seemed ready to devour them.
Leng Lin looked at him with concern and said softly, "Lin An, don't bother with them, let's go."
"We haven't finished eating, why should we leave?" Lin An's voice was icy cold.
Leng Feng and Tong Jiaojiao exchanged a glance. It seemed that Lin An was really angry, and they were somewhat at a loss.
Lin An didn't understand why, whenever his life was heading towards something good, these members of the Lin family would always jump out and spoil his fun, especially Zhang Wanru, who always had a face that said, "I gave birth to you, so I'm doing you a favor."
Lin An suddenly sneered, "Zhang Wanru, since you're so willing to deliver yourself to my doorstep, I'll do as you wish and give you a fatal blow."
He took out his phone and dialed Xu Mo's number:
Are you still at the company?
"It's still here." Xu Mo's voice was filled with relief.
Lin An said in a deep voice, "Help me deliver something. There's a paternity test report in the first drawer on the right side of my desk. Deliver it to me as quickly as possible. I'll send you the address on WeChat."
Xu Mo suddenly raised his voice: "Okay, President Lin, I'll be right there."
After hanging up the phone, Xu Mo shrugged at the little dumpling in front of him, who was jealous of him, and another cute female anchor:
"You two chat amongst yourselves, I need to go deliver something to General Manager Lin."
Xu Mo immediately found the paternity test report of Lin Zhe and Yang Li, grabbed Lin An's Mercedes car keys and left, quickly setting off according to the address Lin An had given him.
Lin Anzhen saved him from dire straits. He used to be troubled when he couldn't win Lin Xia's heart, and now he was also troubled by the many beautiful women who admired him. However, the difference between the two kinds of trouble was still very big. He thoroughly enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by beautiful women.
Inside the restaurant, the manager maintained a smiling demeanor: "Ladies and gentlemen, I am the manager. Is there anything I can help you with?"
Lin Rou quickly voiced her dissatisfaction: "Very well, you're the manager, right? I want to complain about this waiter. My mother wanted to go in to find someone, but he blocked her way. His attitude was terrible."
The waiter stepped back behind the manager and stood there quietly, his expression unchanged, still maintaining his smile.
"Okay, sir, I will take appropriate disciplinary action against him according to the store's regulations. Is there anything else I can help you with?"
The manager doesn't concern himself with the details at all; the customer is king, and if you complain, I'll apologize—that's service.
"Of course, we want to go in." Zhang Wanru felt that the manager had missed the point; their core demand was to go in and settle accounts with Lin An.
"I'm sorry, but according to the restaurant's rules, you are not allowed to enter. Only guests at tables one through four are allowed to enter. Moreover, the minimum charge for the first four tables is 100,000 yuan. Please understand that they should receive the service they are entitled to."
The manager spoke in a friendly tone, his attitude remaining very good; he apologized, but there was no way he would change.
Lin Rou's face flushed with anger as she questioned, "What do you mean by that? Are you saying we didn't spend enough?"
The manager smiled and said, "Madam, that's not what I meant. What I meant was that major clients should receive better treatment."
Zhang Wanru almost lost her temper and shouted, "What big client? Is it that brat, or that old woman with the fake bracelet?"
The manager looked embarrassed. What kind of question was this customer asking? It was so absurd that he couldn't even find a starting point to apologize.
"Who the hell are you calling a fake bracelet?" an angry voice rang out behind the manager.
Lin An appeared at the doorway, glaring angrily at the Lin family members.
