Fang Xi froze on the spot and didn’t dare to move. All her blood chilled in her veins as she just let Xi Cheng hug like that.

Fang Xi’s tears fell uncontrollably. Seven years… Xi Cheng hadn’t said such warm words to her in all the seven years they shared.

“Lin Yu, your younger cousin Lin Zhu’s happiness depends on you. Look at all the vounc and talented men here. lust Dick one for her—no. no. we can’t iust pick one. Pick someone who can help Xi Cheng, and Lin Zhu can be a good helper for you in the future. That way, you and Lin Zhu can work and be a family together. Wouldn’t that be great?” Lin Yu’s aunt said with a smile and pushed a heavily made-up Lin Zhu before her.

Lin Zhu looked at Lin Yu presumptively. Lin Yu couldn’t even bother to frown and scolded, “Auntie, I’m not a pimp, and Lin Zhu isn’t a prostitute. I know our Lin family has declined, but we haven’t fallen to such lows, have we? If you guys had more self-respect and self-love, people wouldn’t look down on you as well as me like this!”

She continued, “This is Madam Xi’s birthday banquet. If you can’t do me credit, then return home quietly. Uncle and my cousins’ businesses and jobs will all be lost if you ruin my relationship with the Xi family!”

Lin Yu’s aunt froze at that. Lin Zhu rolled her eyes and scoffed, “We’re just asking you to introduce me. That’s not a big deal. Who knows, what if I meet someone more outstanding than Xi Cheng? Then, I can also help out, and you wouldn’t have to be so tired. Or are you afraid that I’ll steal your limelight?”

Lin Yu sneered, “Your goading is useless against me, so I suggest you put away that attitude. I didn’t let you in because I feared you would embarrass me. The tastes of the wealthy young men here aren’t so bad that they’ll be interested in someone like you. They’re not fools!”

“Leave immediately if you guys still want me to give you aid and benefits! Otherwise, don’t go blaming me for turning against you! You guys had better think carefully about who the most important person in the Lin family is now!”

“You—I‘ Lin Zhu wanted to argue, but her mother stopped her in time. Even though they were used to being arrogant, they knew how important the Xi family—and, in turn, Lin Yu—were to the Lin family.

Lin Yu’s aunt gritted her teeth. “Alright, of course, we wouldn’t want to offend you. However, we came here with a gift for Madam Xi and the money—”

“Hmph!” Lin Yu snorted coldly, interrupting her aunt before she could finish. Lin Yu took out her phone and transferred 10,000 dollars over to them. “Don’t try and ask me for more; your gift can’t cost more than this figure!”
