Chapter 5: The best man is actually the prince of the Ji family?
As soon as he stepped into the winery, Lu Shiman ran into Lin Yanxin head-on.
Lin Yanxin wore a silver-white slim-fitting dress, with a few strands of hair scattered on her temples and delicate makeup, looking like a fairy in a painting.
When she saw Lu Shiman, her face darkened, but she still walked towards the two of them.
"Cousin." Lin Yanxin ignored Lu Shiman.
Lu Yannan nodded slightly. He didn't have any special feelings for Lin Yanxin.
When Lin Yanxin was a child, she was afraid of him, so he naturally wouldn't go around her on purpose. He would only stop her and Lu Shiman when they were quarreling or fighting.
What was more worrying was that Lu Shiman would get hurt. After all, she was three years younger than Lin Yanxin, and every time they fought, Lin Yanxin would pin her to the ground and pull her hair.
She ignored Lu Shiman, and Lu Shiman naturally ignored her. She held Lu Yannan's arm and looked around calmly.
The guests coming and going were all well-dressed, with bright and decent smiles on their faces, but they were tinged with hypocrisy.
It was Lu Shiman's first time attending such a banquet. Although she had the blessing of the original owner's memories, she was still inevitably a little nervous.
"Brother, are we going to stay until the end?" Lu Shiman asked in a low voice.
"No need. I just need to show up in front of the person from the Ji family and leave an impression." Lu Yannan's main purpose of coming this time was to cooperate with the Ji family to develop the land in the east of the city.
Lu Shiman nodded and his eyes fell on Lin Yanxin opposite him.
The hatred in her eyes was too obvious, and Lu Shiman couldn't ignore it even if he wanted to.
In fact, it doesn’t seem like the original owner had done anything unforgivable.
It is inevitable that children have normal quarrels and quarrels, but every time Lin Yanxin seems to be bullied badly.
Even though she is three years older than the original owner, she always puts herself in the position of the victim.
She followed Lu Yannan and exchanged greetings among the guests. When the eldest brother laughed, she laughed. When the eldest brother drank, she drank too.
After going around like this, she felt a little dizzy.
"Are you planning to get yourself drunk and send yourself to that mean person?" Lu Yannan complained mercilessly in a place where no one was around.
"Brother, why is it Bo Ren?" Lu Shiman has been curious about this name for a long time.
Lu Yannan chuckled without explaining.
"Let's go to the banquet hall."
Following Lu Yannan into the banquet hall next door, Old Mrs. Ji was sitting at the main seat at the main table, and the long table behind her was filled with gifts from the guests.
The Ji family has spread the word that they will invest hundreds of billions in Jincheng, which is why everyone is flocking to it.
The housekeeper stood behind Old Lady Ji, collecting the gifts one by one and recording them in a book.
Lu Shiman had no experience, so he simply remained silent, his eyes fixed on Fu Boyang and Lin Yanxin in front of him.
The two seemed to sense something and turned around to meet Lu Shiman's gaze.
The Lu family is considered one of the top wealthy families in Jincheng, but compared to the Ji family, it is not even close. Especially after the prince of the Ji family came to power, he relied on ruthless means to expand wildly.
Fu Boyang presented Lu Yannan with a pair of emerald bracelets, and then looked at him provocatively.
His purpose was the same as Lu Yannan's, for the land in the east of the city and to get a share of the pie.
Lu Yannan looked down on Fu Boyang, especially since he was hanging out with his sister while being entangled with Lin Yanxin.
"Brother, what birthday gift have you prepared?" Lu Shiman's heart trembled every time he heard the housekeeper read out a name.
"I'll give you to the old lady as a maid." Lu Yannan tilted his head and glanced at her, jokingly.
"Brother, slavery has been abolished. Why don't you give her to be your wife?" Lu Shiman glared at Lu Yannan with a decent smile on his face.
As he was speaking, the door of the banquet hall was opened, and the originally lively scene immediately fell silent.
Everyone's eyes were directed towards the gate.
Lu Shiman also followed everyone's gaze and looked towards the door.
A pair of long and powerful legs stepped in.
The man was dressed very formally, in a well-cut custom-made suit and a dark tie.
He has a tall and straight figure, broad shoulders and a narrow waist, and straight and slender legs. Every proportion is perfect, and every step he takes exudes a dignity that cannot be ignored.
This figure is so perfect.
Lu Shiman sighed in her heart, her eyes moving from bottom to top, falling on the man's face.
His body stiffened instantly and Lu Shiman blinked hard.
The man's facial features were so superior that it was daunting to look directly at him. His amber eyes were as deep as the sea, his nose was tall and just the right height, and even the details of his brow bones were impeccable.
The noble temperament and the innate aura of superiority make people unforgettable at first sight.
The man glanced at Lu Shiman indifferently without stopping, and quickly passed by her.
Lu Shiman's heart was already filled with turmoil. She turned to ask Lu Yannan beside her: "Brother, who is that?"
"The head of the Ji family, Ji Linshen." Lu Yannan glanced at Ji Linshen, who was surrounded by the crowd, and then looked back at Lu Shiman: "He is very dangerous, don't provoke him."
Lu Shiman swallowed and said it was too late. Not only had she provoked him, but she had also "forced herself on the Overlord".
Oh, and left a stack of 'prostitution money'.
After Ji Linshen appeared, the atmosphere in the banquet hall instantly dropped to freezing point. Some people wanted to go up and toast, but were discouraged by his aura.
Everyone has heard about the events that happened to this prince, such as killing his uncle and nephew who were fighting for power, forcing his half-brother to death, and driving his competitor to bankruptcy and suicide.
In short, his methods are ruthless and merciless.
So even though everyone wanted to curry favor, no one dared to step forward easily.
Ji Linshen chatted with the old lady for a while, didn't stay long, and left in a hurry.
Lu Shiman drank a lot of things, including wine, champagne, and juice. He stood up and asked the waiter where the bathroom was.
As soon as I arrived at the door, I saw a maintenance sign standing there.
A man in uniform walked over from a distance and said, "Sorry, ma'am, the restroom is out of order. I'll take you to another restroom."
Lu Shiman didn't suspect anything and followed the man upstairs.
Such security and such an occasion made her completely relax her guard.
The man led her to the door of a room and bowed respectfully: "There is a bathroom inside, please feel free to use it."
Lu Shiman opened the door. There was no light on inside and it was pitch black. She stepped in, took out her cell phone, turned on the flashlight and tried to find the location of the light switch.
The door creaked, and before Lu Shiman could react, he was pushed against the wall by a force. His cell phone fell to the ground, and the flashlight light rolled on the floor, flickering unstable light and shadows.
Lu Shiman widened his eyes in horror and was about to call for help when a big hand covered his mouth.
He struggled hard but it was no use. The opponent's strength was astonishing. His nose was permeated with a cold and heavy fragrance, which smelled pleasant but also made him feel dangerous.
"Don't move." The man's voice was low and cold.
The voice sounded unusually familiar, and even the smell of the man sounded familiar.
He was the best man that night and the prince of the Ji family - Ji Linshen!
