After Lin Xiaoya was taken to a room inside the villa, she received no further notification from anyone.
She looked out the window curiously and saw only lush vegetation beneath which people occasionally hurried past.
Lu Yi glanced at his watch anxiously, wondering if it was because Liang Shiyue had appeared earlier that he was no longer in the mood to attend his coming-of-age ceremony.
ah!
If that's the case, wouldn't my chances of showing up in such a setting be...?
She frantically opened her bag, took out her phone, found her father Lin Hongtao's number, and wanted to cry and complain again.
I also wanted to sound out my aunts, Lin Yuan and Lin Mengmeng.
Lin Yuan had never missed such banquets before.
In her view, such places where high-level people gather have a pure and sophisticated atmosphere, and if one is immersed in them for a long time, even the most unsophisticated person will be transformed.
Moreover, even the Huo family from Fengcheng has come today.
If Lin Yuan could make it in time, she would be even more eager to come and ride the wave of popularity than she was!
I dialed several times, but the phone was always busy.
She pressed and pressed hard, muttering to herself.
"Dad, answer the phone! You haven't just abandoned me now that you've got that little devil Mengmeng, have you?"
While wondering what was going on, I suddenly realized that the signal on my phone screen had disappeared.
She flipped through her phone several times, then frowned and searched along the base of the wall.
He even lifted the stool and coffee table, reaching underneath to grope around, finally clutching his forehead and cursing:
"Well, the Fan family actually blocked the villa's signal in order to protect Lu Yi's privacy!"
"Look at other people's godfathers, and then look at my own father. When his wife isn't around, he calls out 'Xiaoya, Xiaoya' all the time, but as soon as she comes back, he's vanished without a trace!"
"He can't reach me, isn't he worried at all?"
After venting her frustrations, Lin Xiaoya decided to go out on her own. After all, this was the Fan family's residence, and if anything happened to her, the Fan family would be responsible.
Oh, right, it would be good if something happened!
As long as someone takes a picture and posts it online, she will be tied to Lu Yi's coming-of-age ceremony.
If you leave behind a memorable mark, you'll have no worries about making a name for yourself in the future.
Instead of relying on others to carry you, it's much more reliable to develop your own wings!
Lu Baofei kept promising to bring her into the circle, but she still broke her promise!
But you can't blame her. She's so busy with business that she's practically invisible in front of Lu Yi. She can only slink away to save face. What a coward!
Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoya breathed a sigh of relief, took out her makeup mirror, and carefully touched up her makeup.
I tiptoed and pulled the door open a crack.
After waiting for a while without hearing any sound, she mustered her courage and opened the door, preparing to go out.
Just as he took a step, he suddenly heard Qin Fengying's voice.
"Oh my, Miss Fan, this dress is absolutely exquisite!"
“Mrs. Lu, when the stylist brought it to me, the first person I thought of was you. In Jiangzhou, there really isn’t another person with such outstanding temperament as you.”
"Is this custom-made?"
"It was custom-made, but the stylist made a mistake and remembered the wrong size. I was worried that you wouldn't like it when I sent it to you!"
"How could I complain? This fits me better than the one I bought myself..."
Qin Fengying stroked the dress, which felt soft to the touch but had a crisp and stylish fabric, and she couldn't put it down.
With the hairstyle Fan Huijun styled for her, her overall look was so much more elegant than before!
"I'm glad you don't mind. Then I'll take it as a token of my apology!"
"And this phone, I had the butler buy it for me. It was specially engraved with Young Master Lu's name so that no matter who finds it, they won't be able to sell it."
Fan Huijun's voice was gentle, and Lin Xiaoya got goosebumps all over her arms listening to it.
But Qin Fengying was completely captivated by what she heard.
He nodded subconsciously.
Suddenly realizing he had been too direct, he awkwardly laughed and said, "How could I accept that? Tell me how much it costs, and I'll transfer it to you."
"I tripped and fell by accident, I can't blame it on you, besides..."
Qin Fengying thought of what Lu Yi had said.
That child was clearly jealous of Lu Han.
I never dared to say it before.
Thinking of his awkward expression just now, she couldn't help but reveal her true feelings.
“You’ve been so good to Yi’er, it would be a lie to say you’re not moved or ashamed.”
"Huijun, you are Baozhi's classmate and Baofei's business partner. Your great kindness to the Lu family is something I will always remember!"
Qin Fengying's eyes welled up with tears, and a slight smile appeared on her lips.
"Then I won't refuse. When you and Huaibei get married, I will definitely give you a big gift!"
Fan Huijun is no longer as naive as before, believing everything others say.
Anticipating that she had more to say, Fan Huijun raised her hand and glanced at her watch.
“Okay, our two families should keep in touch more often in the future. Dad often says that although Lu Yi is registered under his name and is also my adopted younger brother, he is still connected to the Lu family by blood…”
Qin Fengying was about to reiterate the importance of "cell phones" and inquire whether there was any way to prevent the embarrassing photos of her looking for her cell phone from being exposed.
Upon hearing the word "under my name," my eyes widened instantly!
"What's registered under your father's name?"
Fan Huijun pulled her along, explaining as they walked out.
"That's right, my dad is going to give Lu Yi a gift. The first gift is to acknowledge his identity. In our country, the most direct way to acknowledge identity is to legally establish the father-son relationship!"
"Not long ago, Lu Yi was not yet eighteen years old. My dad completed the adoption procedures first, and then transferred his household registration over."
