Chapter 852: Lower Your Voice
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Mu Kun did not continue to let Sun Yun disturb Lin Yin’s birthday banquet. He directly called for everyone to eat and drink well.
Ye Wen patted Lin Yin’s hand comfortingly and whispered into her ear gently, “Yinyin, don’t worry. You just have to stay by our side peacefully. Dad, Mom, and Brother won’t let you suffer.”
The corners of Lin Yin’s lips curled up slightly as she nodded warmly.
Lin Yin and Mu Ning stood opposite each other, and the people around them stood opposite each other.
Those who had a grudge against Lin Yin naturally stood with Mu Ning. In their opinion, they had already offended Lin Yin and did not want to lower their heads to please a former street girl. They might as well be on good terms with Mu Ning.
Lu Yan stood beside Lin Yin and looked at the group of people opposite her disdainfully. She snorted.
Gong Han said in amusement, “Ah Yan, no matter how much you don’t like those people, don’t be so obvious. Otherwise, if people see you on such an occasion, there will be many people talking about you in the future.”
Lu Yan naturally knew that in such an occasion where there were many elders, if there was any deviation in her behavior, it would be magnified infinitely. However, she just couldn’t stand the group of people on Mu Ning’s side. In her words, there was a nest of snakes and rats over there. None of them were good.
However, Lu Yan would still listen to Gong Han’s words. She said resentfully, “I understand, Sister Gong Han. I’ll try my best to suppress the disgust I have for them and try my best to act like a normal person.”
Gong Han shook her head helplessly. Because Gong Ze had a better relationship with Lu Yan when he was young, she had watched Lu Yan grow up. She was still more concerned about Lu Yan than the girls from other aristocratic families.
Gong Han gently pinched Lu Yan’s small face and rebuked, “Lower your voice!”
Lu Yan secretly stuck out her tongue at Gong Han. She turned around and saw Lu Ming walking over. Her originally calm mood became a little bad again, so she snorted and turned her head away from Lu Ming.
Lu Ming’s appearance attracted the attention of many people. Everyone watched as Lu Ming walked towards Lin Yin and stopped in front of her. His tone was less firm and more gentle as he said, “Yinyin, this is your birthday gift.
Lin Yin looked at the gift Lu Ming handed to her. Everyone craned their necks to see what Lu Ming would give Lin Yin.
Everyone knew a little about what had happened between Lu Ming and Lin Yin. Other than Hou Ning, Lin Yin was the first woman Lu Ming admitted to having some relationship with.
The reason why it was said that there was some relationship was because Lu Ming had protected and favored Lin Yin back then, and many people had seen Lin Yin and Lu Ming together in the hotel.
However, the two of them never officially announced their relationship, so everyone thought that Lin Yin was Lu Ming’s lover.
Now that Lin Yin had become the daughter of the Mu Family, being a little lover was definitely not allowed. In addition, they had heard that Lu Ming and Lin Yin’s relationship had faded a lot recently, so no one could guess what was going on between the two of them.
Lin Yin generously reached out to take the gift from Lu Ming and thanked him with a smile.
Everyone was still looking forward to Lin Yin opening it to take a look, but Lin Yin only handed the gift to Sun Biao and instructed, “Keep it for me. I’ll open it with the other gifts later.”
Everyone looked at Lu Ming, as if they wanted to see if Lu Ming would be embarrassed. After all, ordinary people would be very happy to receive Lu Ming’s gift.
That was a gift personally given by the Third Master of the Lu Family, the next head of the Lu Family, in front of everyone. How proud must the person who received the gift be?
However, Lin Yin took it calmly and even said that she wanted to open it with the other gifts. She clearly did not value Lu Ming’s gift.
Everyone was disappointed. They only saw Lu Ming standing there looking at Lin Yin with a slightly changed expression. He was not angry or embarrassed that Lin Yin did not show any signs of being flattered by his gift.
It seemed like Lu Ming was still very indulgent of Lin Yin.
Although Lu Yan was angry that Lu Ming had opposed her and Long Huang just now, she still sighed when she saw how Lin Yin treated Lu Ming’s gift. What goes around comes around. Lu Ming deserved it.. After all, no girl would think that someone who was indifferent to her would like her, right?
