Lin Xiaoya had thought she would easily enter the circle, but now it was surrounded by an impenetrable wall, keeping her firmly outside.
She thought herself clever, but everyone's disdain and indifference towards her made her feel almost ashamed.
So what if you have lofty ambitions?
This circle is all about connections; if you don't have connections, then you have to rely on your abilities.
She possesses neither of these qualities; her face alone is of no value except to arouse suspicion among the ladies.
Mother Liang kept greeting the distinguished guests without stopping, thanking everyone, whether she knew them or not.
After half a day, he couldn't even remember how many times he had said it.
The "Tofu Feast" was prepared and was held at a mid-range restaurant in Jiangzhou City.
The dishes were all very simple, and following her usual practice, Mrs. Liang ordered ten tables.
To my surprise, the seats were completely full.
After everyone had symbolically used some wine, stepped forward to comfort Lu Yi and say goodbye, Lin Xiaoya wiped away her tears and stood in front of Lu Yi.
Are you blaming me?
"Senior Lin, I have no reason to blame you for coming to see Uncle off on his final journey!"
"But you're still angry."
"You've got it wrong. I'm just tired and want to go back and rest."
“Lu Yi, I’ve decided to hand the video over to Officer Ma. With my statement, Lu Han will definitely be arrested. Even if I do this, can’t you still consider my case?”
"Senior Lin, I'm not the right match for you!"
Lu Yi shook off her hand and walked to the front desk to pay the bill.
When I turned around, Lin Xiaoya was nowhere to be seen.
As I stepped out of the hotel, I suddenly spotted a familiar car.
Lu Baofei got out of the car and blocked Lin Xiaoya's way.
After exchanging a few words, Lin Xiaoya reluctantly got into Lu Baofei's car.
Lu Yi went to the restroom, and when Fan Huijun came out later, she saw this scene and patted Lu Yi on the shoulder.
"That Lin Xiaoya is really something else!"
"I used to think she was pitiful because she was so timid, but after seeing her today, wow, I thought she was the most beautiful woman in Jiangzhou!"
Lu Yi gazed in the direction the car had gone and said quietly, "She is Lin Hongtao's daughter."
What?
Fan Huijun's eyes widened, and she let out two dry laughs.
"Don't joke like that. Although there are rumors that she is dating Lu Han in place of Lin Mengmeng, I don't believe it."
"I've heard of people taking the blame for others, paying off debts for others, or getting pregnant for others, but to stand in someone else's shoes and actually date them, that's just outrageous!"
Lu Yi also found Lin Yuan and her daughter's design to be utterly absurd.
But this has already happened.
Fan Huijun thought Lin Xiaoya was just a stand-in, Lu Yi said as he walked.
"Lin Xiaoya is indeed Lin Hongtao's daughter, but she and Lin Mengmeng are half-sisters."
Fan Huijun exclaimed in shock, "No way? Madam Lin is a notorious jealous woman, a real shrew. Would she really let Lin Hongtao's illegitimate daughter be so high-profile?"
Jiangzhou has a population of around 30 million. Among the elite circles of cattle and horses, the scandals and family affairs of several prominent families have become a hot topic.
Lin Hongtao is a well-known workaholic.
Everyone knows that the Lin family, the most powerful internet clan in Jiangzhou, has only one beloved daughter, Lin Mengmeng.
Those connections within the inner circle are not even as valuable as a single hair on Lin Mengmeng's head.
This was also something Lin Yuan said at a banquet.
Lin Yuan would also check up on him at the company from time to time, which resulted in Lin Hongtao's office never having a female subordinate of any age in the past few years.
If such a cautious woman found out that her husband had an illegitimate daughter, wouldn't she cause a huge uproar?
"It's a long story. Let's go sit in the shop!"
Fan Huijun did not refuse Lu Yi's suggestion because she really wanted to figure out this gossip.
My father often said that the Lin family either doesn't make any big moves, or when they do, it's absolutely earth-shattering.
Earlier, Fan Huijun thought that the old man was jealous of Lin Hongtao.
In retrospect, my father was incredibly prescient.
...
Lu Han stared intently at Lin Xiaoya as she got into the car.
"Second sister, didn't you say you were going to find the Lin family to get to the bottom of things? Why are you going after her now?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiaoya glanced at Lu Baofei, who was skilled in driving, with a puzzled look.
She bit her lip and turned to look out the window.
As soon as Lu Baofei's plane landed, before it even left the port, she heard the news that Lin Hongtao had given birth to a biological daughter.
When she saw the explosive message from her secretary, she sorted out all the troubles surrounding Lu Han and immediately understood three points.
The first point, without a doubt, is Lu Yi.
As a child of the Lu family, Lu Yi initially suffered unfair treatment and harbored hatred towards Lu Han.
It's only natural to deliberately trip him up.
Perhaps influenced by Fan Huijun, Lu Baofei tried to empathize with Lu Yi during her time abroad and began to understand him to some extent.
The second point is the Lin family.
The relationship between Lin Mengmeng and Lu Han is common knowledge in the industry.
In the end, it all turned into such a joke.
The third point is what puzzled Lu Baofei the most.
What exactly did Lu Han do behind her parents' and sisters' backs?
Carefully recalling Lu Yi's days and nights at the Lu family, that well-behaved and sensible little boy never took the initiative to cause trouble.
If Lu Han hadn't gone too far, he would never have made such a show of fighting her to the death.
Call your secretary from abroad and ask her to investigate as soon as possible.
Sure enough, as soon as he returned, his secretary gave him a "surprise"!
That means Lu Han was invited for tea again.
What's outrageous is that not long after Lin Xiaoya was used as a scapegoat, Qin Fengying arranged for a lawyer to take her on a case, though she hasn't found out what it is yet.
