The next day, Lin Wanxing got up very early.
The venue was all set up. Lin Wanxing sat in the dressing room, and the makeup artist applied a light layer of foundation to his face, making his skin appear even whiter under the lights.
There are many guests today, most of whom came for Second Brother, while Lin Wanxing has no friends coming.
Neither the Lin nor the Chen family came. Chen Shuhua is still in the hospital, and Chen Xueping and Xu Feng have been keeping quiet lately.
He sat quietly in front of the mirror, staring straight at his reflection.
"Young Master Lin, do you think this is alright?" the makeup artist asked him softly after finishing applying the makeup to his face.
Lin Wanxing nodded, "Okay, that's good."
"Young Master Lin, someone asked me to give this to you." The door to the dressing room opened, and the hotel receptionist handed a box to Lin Wanxing.
"Who sent it?" Lin Wanxing asked nervously.
His expression was a little strange. The receptionist said, "I don't know, it was delivered by a food delivery service."
Lin Wanxing glanced at the exquisite pink box, then at the makeup artist, who immediately smiled and said she needed to use the restroom. She left with the makeup artist.
Lin Wanxing slowly opened the box, which contained a document and several photos.
The photo was taken at night, and there is a silhouette in it.
In the dim light, the silhouette looked familiar, though the face was not visible.
Although it was a bit blurry, Lin Wanxing could still recognize the profile as her second brother at a glance.
Then, lying at his feet was Fang Ze, covered in blood and missing an arm.
Lin Wanxing panicked immediately upon seeing the photo. This couldn't possibly be her second brother; it couldn't be.
The second brother is standing so straight, and he's not using a cane. This can't possibly be the second brother. The photo is so blurry and it's only a side profile. What does that prove?
These are all fabrications; someone deliberately framed and slandered us.
The person who forged the photo was really stupid; he overlooked the most important issue, which was the second brother's leg.
My second brother has a limp, so he can't stand there as leisurely as the person in the photo.
This photo is fake.
Lin Wanxing then took out the document underneath the photo from the box.
Someone had thoughtfully placed a sticky note on the document.
There was a note on it that read: "This is the document that Shen Taimin used to report Shen Huai'an. You can take a good look at it."
Lin Wanxing took out the document and glanced at it. She didn't quite understand these documents.
However, he could read, and he knew that this was the agreement signed between his second brother and the Fang family, not some Greenland project.
That means the documents that Shen Taimin received that day were switched. No wonder he looked so surprised and shocked.
Who could have switched the documents? Lin Wanxing thought and thought, and only her second brother would do such a thing.
The Shen family won't help the second brother, and the old lady certainly won't side with him either.
Lin Wanxing's mind was buzzing as she held the document. Could it be that her second brother orchestrated Shen Taimin's expulsion?
But how did the second brother know in advance that Shim Tae-min would use this document against him?
My brain simply can't keep up. If all of this is related to my second brother, then the sadness and disappointment he showed are all too real.
Lin Wanxing sat blankly in front of the mirror, his mind a jumbled mess since last night.
“How could these things possibly have anything to do with my second brother? He’s not that kind of person.”
Lin Wanxing tore the document to shreds with a swift motion, and also quickly ripped up the blurry photo and threw it back into the box.
These are all fake, all fake.
Lin Wanxing slowly closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and kept telling herself that all of this was fake, and that someone wanted to harm her and her second brother.
If it was truly out of kindness, why didn't he tell me all this sooner, instead of waiting until I and my second brother had confused our memories before finally telling me?
Just as Lin Wanxing was trying to console herself, there was a knock on the door.
"Star, are you ready?"
"We're going out!" Shen Er looked radiant today, wearing an expensive suit, and was in a great mood.
He has everything now: the Shen family and his love.
It's rare for Shen Er to have such a happy day; after all these years, he has finally waited for this day.
Lin Wanxing quickly composed herself and hid the box.
He looked at himself in the mirror, then subconsciously glanced at his clothes. He slowly stood up and went to open the door for Shen Huai'an.
"Second brother, I'm ready."
The smile on his face deepened the moment he saw Lin Wanxing.
It feels like it's been a long time since I've seen the stars. Shen Huai'an has been busy with work lately, leaving early and returning late every day, so he's missed seeing the stars.
Are you alright?
With his keen observation skills, Shen Huai quickly noticed that Xingxing's mood was off, so he asked her with concern.
"It's nothing, what could possibly happen to me!" Lin Wanxing smiled at Shen Huai'an, pretending nothing had happened.
"But you don't look too well. Are you really alright?" Shen Huai'an was still worried about him.
Lin Wanxing smiled and said, "I guess I'm just nervous. I've never faced so many people before, so I got a little nervous."
Hearing him say that, Shen Huai'an smiled and patted his head: "Don't be nervous, there aren't many people coming today, so don't worry, I'll take care of everything."
As he spoke, Shen Huai'an took his hand and led him to the front of the guest seating area.
Lin Wanxing's mind was in a mess. Her eyes were unconsciously fixed on her second brother's right leg. Her second brother always had trouble putting weight on his right leg when he walked, so he always walked awkwardly.
Shen Huai'an, leaning on his cane, led Lin Wanxing to meet the elders of the Shen family.
At the front table sat a group of elders from the Shen family. Shen Huai'an smiled and politely toasted them, while Lin Wanxing quietly followed behind him.
"Huai'an, I didn't expect you to get married so soon. The elders were worried about your marriage a while ago. I didn't expect that fate would bring you to get married so quickly." Uncle San took a sip of wine.
The elders at the table were all secretly sizing up Lin Wanxing.
