Chapter 29. Brother Fu seems to have been driven mad by Lin Rong.
After the auction, there will be an auction party.
It's a gathering for auctioneers to socialize.
As soon as the auction ended, Fu Yansheng and Lin Zhao were surrounded by a large crowd.
Lin Zhao wanted to leave, but the praise from those around her never stopped, making her a little embarrassed to leave directly.
"Young Master Lin is truly a promising young man. He is now able to work at the Fu Group. It seems that President Fu values Young Master Lin very much."
One of the ladies spoke softly, her eyes gentle.
Another lady spoke softly, "I wonder if Young Master Lin has a girlfriend yet?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao felt a chill run down his spine.
Her eyes darted anxiously toward Fu Yansheng, only to find him engrossed in conversation with several other people, realizing that he was probably beyond saving her for the time being.
The ladies in front of him were all waiting for his reply.
Lin Zhao smiled politely: "Not at the moment."
Upon hearing the word "temporary," the group understood the implication of Lin Zhao's words.
"It seems that Young Master Lin has someone he likes. I was thinking that my daughter would be just right. What a pity."
The lady said it was a pity, but Lin Zhao knew in her heart that it was a pity that she couldn't get close to Fu Yansheng.
Lin Zhao breathed a small sigh of relief.
The ladies made a casual remark and then began discussing the jewelry at the auction.
Each family bought some items, and the amount spent and the jewelry purchased became topics of conversation among them, as well as important factors in distinguishing them.
However, among them, Lin Zhao bought the most and the most expensive items.
The items that Fu Yansheng bought for Lin Zhao, plus the 40 million that Lin Zhao bid, totaled over 100 million.
Therefore, the ladies implicitly regarded Lin Zhao as their leader.
Even though Lin Zhao's current identity is that of the Lin family's publicly known fake young master.
But that still couldn't stop their active minds.
"Zhaozhao, how about we have lunch together later?"
One of the ladies extended an invitation.
"Yes, Zhao Zhao, we happen to have afternoon tea today, why don't we go together?"
Another person chimed in.
Lin Zhao was stunned when she heard this.
No... could they have invited the wrong person?
Why would a young man attend afternoon tea with ladies?
But judging from the expressions of those ladies, they didn't seem to see anything wrong at all.
Lin Zhao blinked, somewhat at a loss, and looked towards Fu Yansheng not far away, her eyes filled with a pleading look.
Just as Fu Yansheng was about to step forward, the ladies heard a voice coming from behind them—it was Lin Rong's voice.
"Excuse me, ladies, Zhaozhao has to come home with me for dinner later."
Lin Zhao nodded quickly, and fearing that the people in front of her might misunderstand, she said softly, "Yes, I made plans to go home for dinner with my brother. I'm sorry!"
Lin Zhao apologized quietly.
But the ladies didn't say anything, they just smiled and said, "It's alright, it's our fault for not sending out invitations in advance, we offended young master Lin."
The last-minute invitation was against the rules, and the ladies only realized they had been too hasty after Lin Rong spoke up.
Fu Yansheng stepped forward, glanced at Lin Zhao, then at the ladies, and said softly, "We'll be leaving now, please excuse us."
Lin Rong was somewhat incredulous that her younger brother had been snatched away like this, and took a deep breath.
Seeing that Lin Zhao was still obediently following behind Fu Yansheng, Lin Rong became even angrier.
Lin Zhao doesn't even listen to her own words, but she's willing to listen to Fu Yansheng.
Lin Rong, following behind Lin Zhao, almost couldn't maintain the fake smile on his face.
He gritted his teeth and tried to keep his voice steady as he bid farewell to the ladies.
Then Lin Rong quickly stepped forward, pulled Lin Zhao over, and stood between Lin Zhao and Fu Yansheng, separating the two.
Lin Xian, who was not far away, was talking to other people.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Lin Rong leave with Lin Zhao. He paused for a moment, then could only smile apologetically at the person in front of him, bid farewell, and followed after them with a frown.
"Zhao Zhao, are you coming home for dinner today?" Lin Rong rarely showed such a pitiful look.
Lin Zhao's heart softened after just one glance.
Upon hearing this, Fu Yansheng turned around and saw Lin Zhao's conflicted expression. He smiled and said, "President Lin, you wouldn't mind if I had lunch at the Lin family's house, would you?"
"I... of course I don't mind! It would be an honor..."
Lin Rong took a deep breath and forced a cold smile under Lin Zhao's gaze.
He stared at Fu Yansheng, his teeth practically grinding to powder.
Fu Yansheng is truly his nemesis!
I find fault with everything about it.
Lin Rong snorted coldly.
Seeing the atmosphere between the three people in front of him, Lin Xian didn't dare to ask any questions, so he could only follow behind Lin Rong.
Caught between the two, Lin Zhao was in a dilemma. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Lin Xian standing at the back without saying a word. Lin Zhao suddenly froze, then took a few steps back and stood next to Lin Xian, letting the two in front chatter away.
Pretend you didn't hear it.
Lin Zhao, thinking that Lin Xian was about the same age as her, enthusiastically recommended her favorite cake shop and a restaurant she had recently found online, inviting Lin Xian to go eat with her when he had time.
Lin Xian didn't speak, but listened attentively to what Lin Zhao was saying.
There was neither refusal nor agreement.
Fu Yansheng and Lin Rong were arguing, but when they turned around and saw Lin Zhao and Lin Xian getting along well, their voices quieted down.
It restored the way the two of them looked when they were working.
They keep to themselves, yet they can't stand each other.
Both of Lin's parents were at home. When they saw that Fu Yansheng had also arrived, they quickly invited him in for a meal.
The Lin family doesn't have many rules.
So Lin Zhao simply sat down on the side.
Just as Fu Yansheng was about to sit down to Lin Zhao's right, he found that Lin Rong was even faster. After sitting down, Lin Rong even gave Fu Yansheng a provocative look.
Lin Rong feigned surprise: "President Fu, I'm sorry, were you just about to sit here? Would you mind giving yourself to me?"
Lin Rong spoke, but he remained seated firmly, without moving an inch.
Lin Xian sat opposite them.
Lin's parents, sitting in the main seats, frowned slightly as they looked at Lin Rong's appearance.
Regardless of Fu Yansheng's character, he is still a guest.
He was about to speak to stop Lin Rong's rudeness.
But then Fu Yansheng said softly, "It's alright, Mr. Lin didn't mean it. I just thought it would be more convenient for him to serve food to Zhaozhao while sitting on the right."
"It's okay, I'll serve Zhaozhao some food," Lin Rong said with a smile.
Fu Yansheng nodded and then sat down to Lin Zhao's left.
Even though it wasn't very convenient, he still took care of Lin Zhao.
Lin Rong stood up to serve food to Lin Zhao, but the next second she saw Fu Yansheng serve food to Lin Zhao first.
When he looked up, Fu Yansheng's eyes held a smile, tinged with provocation!
This is a provocation!!!
Lin Rong took a deep breath and continued what she was doing: "Good girl Zhao Zhao, this is delicious, eat more."
Before the serving chopsticks could even reach Lin Zhao's bowl, everyone saw Lin Zhao stand up, walk over to Lin Xian, sit down next to him, and calmly serve him food, saying, "Lin Xian, I heard from Auntie that you like this!"
He acted as if he didn't care about Fu Yansheng and Lin Rong.
Upon hearing this, Lin Xian glanced at the food he had been given and then slowly looked at the two men opposite him.
Eat it.
"Thank you, Zhao Zhao, it's delicious."
Fu Yansheng curled his lips into a smile, picked up a piece of shrimp that he disliked the most, and chewed it fiercely.
Faintly, Lin Zhao seemed to hear the clenching sound of Fu Yansheng's teeth.
Suddenly, I felt a chill run down my spine.
"Yes, the food prepared by the Lin family chef is really delicious."
Lin Zhao glanced at it and concluded: Brother Fu seems to have been driven crazy by Lin Rong!
