Xiao Xu?
It can't be...
Lin Yang sat in her wheelchair, her body tense, not daring to turn around.
Lin Yang had already automatically filtered out the whispers around her, and the footsteps behind her became clearer and clearer.
"Hello, Grandma Lin and Uncle Lin." The footsteps stopped, and then a clear, cool voice rang out, the greeting polite and proper.
The all-too-familiar voice completely confirmed Lin Yang's suspicions.
For some reason, when her grandmother called Xu Chengzhi over, Lin Yang had a feeling that something bad was going to happen. She instantly felt that this birthday banquet was not a simple birthday banquet, but more like a long-planned event.
With her heart pounding nervously, Lin Yang dared not breathe, keeping her head down as if she wanted to be invisible.
“Little Xu, our Lin family and your Xu family have been friends for generations. We’ve been close for generations, but you haven’t been in touch much with Lin Yang’s generation. Why don’t you take this opportunity to stroll around the back garden with our Yangyang and deepen the relationship between our two families?” Grandmother, relying on her seniority, made a rather selfish request.
Xu Chengzhi glanced at Lin Yang, who was keeping her head down and avoiding his gaze, and remained silent.
Feeling the intense gaze on her head, Lin Yang unconsciously lowered her head even further.
Damn, it was planned all along!
My grandmother also said she missed me. Judging from this, she seems to be trying to set us up.
"You two are both young and in the entertainment industry. I heard you're working together on the same show, so you're bound to have more to talk about, right? Just consider it making friends, Yangyang, don't you think so?" As Grandma spoke, she deliberately threw the topic back at Lin Yang, who wanted to escape from the place.
Friend... hello, have you ever seen anyone befriend the person they're trying to get revenge on?
When Lin Yang was called out, she could only slowly raise her head without answering, just smiling foolishly, trying to get away with it.
As she looked up, she accidentally met Xu Chengzhi's gaze again. His eyes were half-lit and half-dark, making it impossible to discern his thoughts at that moment.
"Oh dear, these two young people are still so shy. Our two families will be visiting each other more often in the future. What will become of them?" Grandmother looked at these two clueless blockheads, so angry that she wanted to scold them but couldn't. She could only sigh helplessly.
Xu Chengzhi remained silent, but his next move astonished everyone present.
"Hey! What are you doing!" Lin Yang was still thinking about how to refuse when her wheelchair inexplicably started rolling.
Xu Chengzhi placed his hand on the wheelchair handle and steadily pushed Lin Yang toward the back garden. "Today is your grandmother's 80th birthday, so of course we should follow her wishes."
Lin Yang had never met anyone like Xu Chengzhi who could say such things without blushing or skipping a beat, and who could even act as if it were perfectly natural.
"It seems that the Lin family and the Xu family are considering a marriage alliance. The two families are already evenly matched, so wouldn't it be icing on the cake if they joined forces?"
"What do you know? This Miss Lin and Young Master Xu were childhood sweethearts, but they drifted apart later. This is called rekindling their old flame!"
"Stop talking, just place your bet. You'll be able to attend two weddings soon, won't you?"
"I'll bet, I'm willing to place my bet."
As Lin Yang was being pushed through the crowd in her wheelchair, the unabashed whispers of the people reached her ears, making her face flush red and pale in turns.
"Put me down! Stop!" Lin Yang said, trying to control his emotions and reaching out to stop the wheelchair.
A warm, broad hand grabbed her soft, tender hand, stopping her dangerous move.
"The old lady is watching, so don't let her be unhappy at her 80th birthday banquet." Xu Chengzhi leaned down and breathed into Lin Yang's ear.
