AMTBYIGA Chapter 94

Chapter 94: The Lin Family

The day of the banquet arrived in the blink of an eye. Lin Sui was silent for a second when he saw the formal attire that had been delivered to the sofa.

Undeniably, they were two very beautiful outfits, especially his. The cuffs were embroidered with rose patterns, and the tailored suit perfectly outlined the curves of his body. The matching brooch and cufflinks were also extremely luxurious. Just being there, an air of nobility naturally emanated.

But this was also a problem.

They were just there to fill the ranks; dressing like this was too much like stealing the show. Lin Sui could already imagine becoming the center of attention for the entire event.

It seemed like Gu Nian always prepared clothes for him in this style, wanting nothing more than to dress him up like a flower.

Although he felt it wasn’t quite appropriate, Lin Sui still took it to try on. Even if it wasn’t suitable, he could always change into something else. This outfit was Gu Nian’s intention, and it would be great even if only the two of them could see it.

The design of the suit was somewhat intricate, and it took Lin Sui some effort to put it on and come out. He twirled in front of Gu Nian, “How is it? Does it look good?”

Gu Nian’s eyes didn’t waver as he directly pulled Lin Sui in for a passionate kiss, expressing his attitude through action.

After finally finishing the kiss, Lin Sui caught his breath and poked Gu Nian’s forehead good-naturedly, pretending to be angry, “You’ve wrinkled my clothes.”

“It doesn’t matter, it still looks good even wrinkled.” Gu Nian personally pinned the ruby brooch on Lin Sui, seemingly unintentionally sighing, “I’m almost unwilling to let others see you.”

“Stop being so glib.” Lin Sui said that, but he was actually very pleased and urged Gu Nian to change into his clothes as well. Then, they got into the car heading to the banquet venue.

Unlike the embarrassment of going to the auction last time, this time Gu Nian made a grand gesture and called for a Rolls Royce. It was Lin Sui’s first time sitting in such a luxury car, and he blinked his eyes, curiously touching and poking everything. Gu Nian couldn’t even restrain his movements while fastening his seatbelt.

It really couldn’t be blamed on him for being unsophisticated; whose car has a mini-fridge!

Lin Sui slurped on the juice he took out of the fridge, secretly marveling at the decadent extravagance of the rich. He had only experienced a little of it and already felt corrupted.

Besides drinks, there was even a small cake in the fridge that looked very fresh, and there was even a small table that could be unfolded. Lin Sui ate all the way, and his stomach was already half full before he even arrived at the banquet.

When they arrived at their destination and saw the magnificent and tall building outside, Lin Sui belatedly realized that today’s banquet was very high-class. He quickly wiped his mouth and nervously tugged at the hem of his clothes, only relaxing a little after confirming that there was no cream on them.

“Come.” Seeming to notice Lin Sui’s discomfort, Gu Nian reached out to Lin Sui, and without waiting for a response, he forcefully grasped Lin Sui’s soft hand, smiling as he said, “Ready?”

Gu Nian’s hand was very strong, giving a sense of security. Lin Sui suddenly relaxed and showed a smile, “Ready!”

The two got out of the car on either side, and the guests who were also getting out of their cars couldn’t help but look over curiously. The first thing they saw was a pair of long legs that appeared first. The tailored suit pants perfectly showed off the advantages of the long legs. The next second, a youth with picturesque features smiled and revealed his face. The most eye-catching thing was the pair of star-like eyes, which couldn’t help but attract people.

Almost the second the youth appeared, the sound of inquiries arose around him. They were all very curious about when such a light and agile young man, like an elf, had appeared in the circle. Could it be that someone’s hidden little son had come out to play?

Before these various guesses could be verified, they saw that the youth did not enter the venue after getting out of the car, but walked to the other side, seemingly invitingly reaching out his hand. Immediately afterward, a hand that was a deeper color and larger firmly grasped the white and tender hand, interlocking their fingers.

When they saw who came out behind him, all the whispering voices fell silent, and they nodded slightly towards Gu Nian with surprise and respect.

The covetous gazes that had been cast towards Lin Sui also disappeared.

Lin Sui had no idea that he had attracted a swarm of admirers just by showing his face. He walked into the banquet hall with Gu Nian calmly.

As expected, as soon as they entered, the two became the center of attention again. Lin Sui unconsciously tensed his muscles, but relaxed after Gu Nian gently squeezed his palm. He found a place to rest later on, treating everyone else as bok choy.

Many people raised their glasses to Gu Nian in a distant salute. These were all Gu Nian’s partners. Gu Nian also nodded in greeting, leading Lin Sui to a corner.

There was still a while before the official start, and everyone was currently in the stage of exchanging pleasantries and socializing. Gu Nian had always been impatient with this kind of superficial exchange, and Lin Sui was even less interested in these social activities. The two of them hid in the corner to enjoy the peace, talking quietly.

However, even though they weren’t looking for others, people always came to find them. Soon, a middle-aged man with a receding hairline and a beer belly walked over with a young man and woman, and his hearty laughter could be heard before he even got close.

“I have long admired President Gu’s talent and youthful spirit. Seeing you today, you truly live up to the reputation.” The middle-aged man complimented skillfully, beckoning to the two young people behind him, smiling, “You are all young people, so it should be easier to communicate. What does President Gu think?”

The young man and woman eagerly stepped forward with wine glasses, the corners of their mouths hanging at the most perfect angle after calculation, deliberately revealing their best angles, “President Gu, we toast you.”

After saying that, without waiting for Gu Nian to speak, they finished the wine in their glasses on their own.

Gu Nian watched the two people’s performance indifferently, without saying a word.

Although these two people were wearing gorgeous clothes, judging from the style, they should be off-the-rack clothes from a certain brand last year. It would barely be considered decent to walk the red carpet in them, but in such an occasion, they were really out of place.

They were probably artists brought by their boss to see the world. Of course, “seeing the world” wasn’t just limited to looking around; their real purpose was to find a sugar daddy.

Gu Nian wasn’t unfamiliar with these kinds of people. Almost every banquet couldn’t avoid these opportunistic people. He had always watched coldly, anyway, these were all voluntary transactions, so there was nothing to say, but he didn’t expect that he would be approached.

“Is that so.” Gu Nian didn’t even look at the two decent-looking young people, lazily playing with Lin Sui’s hand, and said casually, “But I think time should be used on the cutting edge, such as spending time with a lover.” After saying that, he looked up at Lin Sui for a while, a smile curving at the corners of his mouth.

The three people on the other side were stunned at the same time, and only then did they shift their gazes to Lin Sui. Of course, they had noticed someone with such an outstanding appearance from the beginning, but they all thought that this was President Gu’s lover, so they didn’t take it to heart.

Now it seemed… they had misjudged.

The middle-aged man laughed awkwardly twice. Even he, who was used to poaching from other people’s gardens, couldn’t quite stand the sight of digging up the foundation in front of the owner. He forced himself to exchange a few polite words and pulled the two people away.

Lin Sui listened confusedly, vaguely understanding something but not quite understanding. He lowered his head and asked Gu Nian, “Do you know them?”

Gu Nian smiled, “No, just saying a few words.”

Lin Sui felt like they hadn’t just said a few words just now, but after thinking about it, he didn’t ask any more questions.

At this moment, the two young people who had been led away by the middle-aged man couldn’t help but complain.

“That person looks so scary.” The woman spoke first, pouting, “I felt like he was going to throw me out just by looking at me.”

The young man was thoughtful, as if he hadn’t heard.

“What are you thinking about?” The young woman pushed his arm, “You’re not still thinking about hooking up with that person, are you? I don’t think you have a chance. But with him, I guess he’s not good at that either. Maybe he’s psychologically twisted and has some special hobbies. Our conditions are so good, there’s no need to humiliate ourselves like this.”

“No, I’m not thinking about that.” The young man’s eyebrows were tightly furrowed, and after thinking for a long time, he hesitated to open his mouth, “Didn’t you think that the person standing next to him just now looked a bit like Lin Sui?”

The young woman was stunned for a moment, subconsciously refuting, “How is that possible? Lin Sui usually looks so gloomy, how could that person be so good-looking? Besides, didn’t he marry that old and ugly cripple? Maybe he’s working somewhere to support his husband.”

The further she went, the weaker the young woman’s voice became.

Now that she thought about it, disabled, older than Lin Sui, these two points actually matched!

The young woman recalled the face she had just seen. Because the temperament was too different, she had never thought of this. At this time, she was reminded by her younger brother that it did indeed look very similar to Lin Sui, even those almond eyes were exactly the same.

Could it be…

The siblings looked at each other, each with their own thoughts.

The older sister, Lin Jue, the eldest daughter of the Lin family, couldn’t help but look back in the direction they had left, thinking to herself. Although it was far away and she couldn’t see clearly, just looking at it like this, even the figure was exactly the same as Lin Sui.

He had actually stumbled upon such great luck, marrying a rising star in the business world, and even gaining the other party’s approval!

The Lin family was just a last-class rich family, and they wouldn’t even be able to meet the threshold of this banquet. The Lin siblings were able to come in because the Lin family had spent a lot of money to find connections, just to be able to make more appearances and hook a rich son-in-law.

Otherwise, when Gu Nian’s grandfather found them, they wouldn’t have agreed so readily. The Lin family was used to exchanging children for wealth, especially since Lin Sui was just an illegitimate child, so they didn’t care more.

Growing up in such a family, Lin Jue didn’t think there was anything wrong with this. She was just jealous of Lin Sui’s good luck now. If she had known that Gu Nian could still make a comeback, she should have taken the initiative to marry him. She was at least born of the main wife, so how could she not be better than an illegitimate child? Lin Sui had stolen her glory!

“No, we have to find Lin Sui to help us. Our family gave him such a good opportunity, he shouldn’t even think about not taking out something to pay interest!”

As expected of siblings, Lin Zhuo nodded in agreement as soon as Lin Jue said this. The two hit it off and walked back in a menacing manner.
