Gu Jinzhi put an arm around her waist and guided her to a table.
Wen He was too distracted to notice how intimate his gesture was.
Huo Chen’s grip tightened around his glass of wine. His blank expression turned sour.
With the exception of these three, the rest of the guests in the ballroom were all interested in Lin Kang’s company and tried to gain his attention.
After some time, the current leader of the Lin family, Lin Yuntian, finally got on stage.


He took a sweeping glance around the audience and gave a short speech to welcome them. After that, he moved on straight to the point.

I have invited everyone here today to witness a very important change in our family business. I have decided to let my eldest son, Lin Kang, take over the family business starting next month!

Clap clap clap…
The audience clapped thunderously in good humour.
Even Wen He clapped a few times lazily, but she could not stop herself from sneaking a look at Huo Chen.
The man looked solemn. His gaze was directed at the stage and his expression was characteristically flat.
It seemed that he had come to terms with the facts.
That was probably for the best.
Wen He looked away and regained her composure, but her tight grip on her dress betrayed her true emotions.
Gu Jinzhi looked at Lin Yuntian with a thin smile. The latter showed no signs of acknowledging the attention he was receiving.


Gu Jinzhi’s smile turned cold. He finished the contents in his glass in one gulp.

Gu Jinzhi!

Suddenly, he heard Wen He’s sinister voice by his ear.
His expression froze as he slowly put down his empty glass.

I’m sorry, it will not happen again!

Wen He was about to say something more when Lin Kang strided toward him and with his head held high. His eyes were full of disdain.

Jinzhi, won’t you congratulate me?


Oh.

Gu Jinzhi complied promptly and smiled elegantly at his elder brother.

Congratulations.



His response only served to infuriate Lin Kang even more. The latter frowned at his younger brother and turned his voice down to a whisper as he said coldly,
Don’t think for a moment that your own little business is worth anything at all. You will always be a failure, just like your poor mother who died when she was so young!

Gu Jinzhi’s expression turned dark instantly.
His gentle eyes turned sharp like a blade that was hungry for blood. He was about to speak when someone else interrupted.

Gu Jinzhi, are you sure he is your brother?

Wen He asked with a look of astonishment.

Just look at him. That triangular nose, pointy eyes, giant elephant ears and sausage lips — he is so ugly that I can’t bear to watch!

Wen He took one last look at Lin Kang and then turned to contemplate on Gu Jinzhi, who had a delicate profile with devilish charm.

By the law of heredity, your mum is probably an extraordinary beauty, right? As for your brother… I suggest you remind your father to check if he is not bringing up another man’s son.

The deathly look on Gu Jinzhi was quickly replaced by barely suppressed laughter. He noticed that his brother’s darkened expression and replied,
That’s a great idea. I will be sure to let him know.

Wen He nodded in all seriousness.
Don’t forget, it’s very important!



She did not know the story behind Gu Jinzhi and his brother’s relationship, but the fact that Lin Kang used Gu Jinzhi’s mother’s death to assault him was absolutely despicable!
Lin Kang’s cold gaze zoomed in on Wen He.
Who are you? What right do you have to interrupt when I’m talking to Gu Jinzhi?
