Chapter 13
The hundred-day banquet for the eldest grandson of the He family is at 6 pm.
Chen Garden was close, so Lin Ran and Lin Ruolan set out at half past five.
Luxury cars lined the road on Banyue Mountain, the red carpet was covered in jewels, and celebrities who were on good terms with the He family gathered on the lawn in front of the villa, chatting and laughing.
Lin Ruolan pulled her forward and wrapped a thick red envelope for the eldest grandson of the He family.
"Who is this?" The He couple looked at Lin Ran, their eyes lighting up. What a beautiful girl, tall and slender, with fair skin. Most importantly, her temperament was calm and profound, without a trace of impetuousness, a rare sight in the world of fame and fortune.
"Mom and Dad, this is Lin Ran, Zhuoyu's sister." He Yuanbai broke away from the socialites and daughters around him and stepped forward to introduce her.
The He couple was stunned for a moment, then praised him a few words.
People around were whispering.
"Shen family? Doesn't the Shen family only have one illegitimate daughter, Shen Zhi?"
"You missed the biggest scandal in Shen Garden back then. She was the adopted daughter of the Shen family, and she had an affair with the second son of the Shen family. She was kicked out, but she had the audacity to come back."
"The He family is still too respectable. The mother and daughter are of the same kind, both wanting to rise to prominence and become phoenixes..."
"If it were me, I'd be worried about dirtying the floor at home just by letting her in..."
Everyone was mocking and ridiculing Lin Ruolan, saying that she was able to occupy the magpie's nest and live in Chen Garden. No one knew what dirty tricks she had used behind the scenes. It was only because the Shen family was rich that they could raise a girl and also have a child.
If the mother and daughter were to commit themselves to the father and son respectively, it would be really embarrassing and become a laughing stock in the entire wealthy circle.
The wealthy families in Hong Kong have been tainted by these kinds of people.
Lin Ran lowered her eyes, pretending not to hear. She had long ago learned to block out unpleasant people and voices.
He Yuanbai frowned after hearing these vicious words, then smiled gently and said, "Lin Ran, I'll take you to see my nephew."
Lin Ran's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he nodded, "Okay."
He Yuanbai took her to the baby room on the second floor.
In the American retro baby room, two month-long nannies were taking care of the baby, and the eldest grandson of the He family was blowing bubbles in the crib, having a lot of fun playing with himself.
Lin Ran was nailed to the spot, looking at the adorable little baby, her eyes slightly red. She also had a child, if that child was still alive, he must be very cute too.
"Lin Ran, what's wrong with you?" He Yuanbai was teasing the baby. When he turned around and saw that her eyes were red, he was stunned.
He was good friends with Shen Zhuoyu and had often visited Shen Garden before. He knew that she was living on thin ice in Shen Garden, and her situation would probably be even more difficult this time she returned.
"It's okay, he's so cute." Lin Ran suppressed her emotions and smiled slightly.
He Yuanbai asked the two nannies to go out and said with a smile: "You can hug him, he is very well behaved and smiles when he sees people."
Lin Ran didn't dare to hug her, and whispered, "It's a little angel."
He Yuanbai lowered his eyes to look at her and said, "You too."
She was wearing a light blue dress today, quiet and soft, like a little mermaid in the deep sea. He always knew that she was beautiful, but he didn't know that she would be so beautiful when dressed up, making all the socialites and daughters in the audience pale in comparison.
So, those people were full of malice towards her.
Lin Ran's expression was slightly cold and he didn't respond.
Her life was broken like porcelain. This time she came back and was restricted in every way, unable to control her own destiny. There was no way she could provoke He Yuanbai again.
She didn't need his sympathy or admiration. To these wealthy noblemen, she was like a wild flower in the mountains, to be picked when the mood struck, played with for a while, and then discarded at any time.
She had been crushed before and would not make the same mistake again.
He Yuanbai saw her indifferent expression and a slight sense of alienation, and looked at her sideways for a moment.
