My Sloppy Husband Is Actually a Handsome Bigshot!-Chapter 137 - 135: If You Dare, Come at Me 2
Chapter 137: Chapter 135: If You Dare, Come at Me 2
Yao Lemon was continuously showing ’typing, typing’ on the other side, clearly typing and deleting repeatedly!
Lin Zhenxin finally couldn’t bear it and called her.
She knew Yao Lemon’s number by heart.
Soon, the call was answered, and Yao Lemon initially greeted her formally, but once she heard Lin Zhenxin’s voice, she relaxed and sounded dejected.
"Did you change your number? / What’s going on?" Both spoke simultaneously.
Yao Lemon was silent for a moment...
"What’s going on?" Lin Zhenxin was almost about to die from anxiety!
"That Gu Yaoyao sent me an invitation, inviting me to her and Wu Feng’s engagement ceremony tonight!"
At this moment, Yao Lemon was holding that invitation in her hand.
Inside, there was also a note with provocative words!
——If you dare, come!
"Lemon, are you going to go?" Lin Zhenxin never expected that Gu Yaoyao would be so persistent!
"Go! Why shouldn’t I go? As her little aunt, I should make a gesture when the niece is getting married!"
Yao Lemon was holding back a breath of frustration!
"Zhenxin, accompany me tonight! I want to see what kind of tricks Gu Yaoyao is trying to play!"
When Li Yanan returned home, Lin Zhenxin was changing clothes.
It was the Elie Saab haute couture dress she wore to the last party.
After wearing it that time, she had carefully hung it up.
"Zip me up." Lin Zhenxin naturally pulled her hair to one side, exposing her scar-covered back.
Li Yanan walked behind her, placing his hands on her shoulders, looking at the reflection in the dressing mirror with deep eyes.
"Where are you going?" he queried, lightly sniffing near her ear.
"Going to an engagement party tonight." Lin Zhenxin felt ticklish and dodged with a smile.
Li Yanan was silent for a moment.
"The engagement party for the daughter of the Educational Bureau Chief, Gu Yaoyao?"
"How did you know?" Lin Zhenxin couldn’t help but be surprised, how did he know everything?
Li Yanan smiled without saying a word.
"Take it off, I’ll arrange a new dress for you, it’ll be delivered quickly, and I’ll take you there tonight."
Before Lin Zhenxin could react, Li Yanan had already called the brand store.
After he hung up, Lin Zhenxin was still standing there.
"I really am going with Lemon." Hearing he would drive her, she subconsciously thought he didn’t believe her.
Li Yanan gave her a sidelong glance.
"Lemon’s long-time boyfriend cheated on her and got engaged to Gu Yaoyao, and Lemon married Gu Yaoyao’s uncle. Tonight... possibly, I might accompany her to be a bit... irrational!" Lin Zhenxin thought about it and gently reminded him.
"Make a fuss, if the sky falls, I’ll hold it up for you."
In Li Yanan’s eyes, these weren’t significant matters.
To Lin Zhenxin’s ears, however, it was astonishing, how could he pamper her so much?
"The Tu Family and Li Family are also on the guest list, but tonight Xun Chen will attend on behalf of the Bureau Chief."
Although it seemed like a small engagement ceremony, in reality, interests between different classes were deeply involved.
Lin Zhenxin nodded.
"I’ve booked the flight tickets. Once things here are done, we’ll head to Danang. Aunt Xu will take care of Grandma; you don’t have to worry."
In front of the full-length mirror, Li Yanan wrapped his arms around her shoulders from behind.
His thin lips grazed her earlobe, making Lin Zhenxin tremble slightly.
"Also, I found a financial advisor for you, who will handle all your financial matters."
"I think leaving it in the bank is fine, at least there’s no risk," Lin Zhenxin murmured quietly.
"Silly girl, indeed there’s no risk putting money in the bank, but if you don’t know how to use your resources to create greater benefits, then that’s wasted."
Lin Zhenxin turned around.
She looked up at Li Yanan like this.
She thought he was really incredible, knew everything, always confident, unpredictable.
Could she really match a man like this?
Lin Zhenxin really didn’t know the answer to this question...
Yao Lemon was still flabbergasted when she got out of the car, not coming to her senses for a while.
Today, Li Yanan drove an Audi A8L, a car that costs at least a couple of million.
Yao Lemon felt more and more that Li Yanan wasn’t so simple, there were countless mysteries about him.
On the other hand, Lin Zhenxin was already accustomed to it. She leaned over the car window and exchanged a few words with Li Yanan before he drove off.
"You don’t know, when the clothes were delivered to my house, I was terrified, thinking it was a scam!"
The outfit Yao Lemon was wearing, including shoes and accessories, was sent by the brand store at Li Yanan’s request.
"Let’s go in." Lin Zhenxin smiled. Inside her cashmere coat was a moon white dress with inlaid diamonds, perfectly covering the scars on her back. Her gentle smile even made Yao Lemon, also a woman, momentarily lose focus.
"Why do I feel that being loved has made you more and more graceful?"
Lin Zhenxin rolled her eyes at her and headed towards the hotel entrance.
"Lin Zhenxin." A familiar voice suddenly called, making Lin Zhenxin and Yao Lemon turn back.
Lin Zhenxin’s expression turned cold. Although Li Yanan had told her that both the Tu Family and Li Family would attend, she didn’t expect the first person she’d run into...
Would actually be Tu Wanzi.
Tu Haohao just had surgery, and she still had the mood to attend parties?
"I didn’t expect to meet you here." Tu Wanzi was surprised as well upon seeing Lin Zhenxin.
"Would it be convenient to borrow a moment to talk?"
"I have nothing to say to you." Lin Zhenxin turned to leave, but the next second, Tu Wanzi grabbed her wrist.
"It’s about Haohao!"
Lin Zhenxin stopped, looking at Tu Wanzi.
"Five minutes at most."
Soon, Lin Zhenxin returned on her own.
Yao Lemon looked worriedly at her but didn’t ask what the Tu Family wanted from her.
"Why is there a jade necklace now?"
"Let’s go." Fortunately, Lin Zhenxin regained her composure quickly, not answering Yao Lemon’s question.
The two walked forward.
Suddenly, she felt as if someone was watching her. Following the feeling, she met a pair of dark eyes.
It was He Bainian!
And at this moment, his arm was being held by Li Miya.
Noticing his attention waver, Li Miya looked up and, seeing Lin Zhenxin, immediately frowned in displeasure!
——Let Li Yanan be with my sister.
——Be with me!
The words from that night seemed clear in her ears, her beautiful features quickly covered in a layer of frost as she withdrew her gaze.
She handed the invitations, including Yao Lemon’s, to the doorman.
Lin Zhenxin had been brought by Yao Lemon, but before getting out of the car, Li Yanan still gave her an invitation.
Reportedly, specially requested by Xun Chen.
"Brother Nian, wait for me!"
Li Miya’s voice, sweet with several plus signs, came from behind.
Lin Zhenxin, annoyed, didn’t look back, pulling Yao Lemon inside.
"I think you and He Bainian have a fateful connection." Knowing the whole story, Yao Lemon couldn’t help but speak while shaking her head.
Handing her coat to the approaching service staff, Lin Zhenxin didn’t respond to Yao Lemon’s comment.
"Where’s your Gu Daxiong? Not showing up for his niece’s engagement?"
Yao Lemon was momentarily taken aback, seemingly not used to the ’your’ reference.
She grabbed two glasses of champagne from a waiter’s tray, handing one to Lin Zhenxin.
"He and his elder brother... seem to not..." The rest was implied with a shake of her head.
The engagement party hadn’t officially started, still in the phase of acquaintances exchanging pleasantries and strangers being introduced. However, Lin Zhenxin and Yao Lemon felt out of place with the atmosphere, but their costly dresses had already caught the eyes of the socialites.
Those who knew Lin Zhenxin’s identity were continuously whispering, occasionally showing disdain and contempt on their faces.
Lin Zhenxin acted oblivious, while Yao Lemon was visibly irritated.
"I’m going to the restroom."
In truth, Yao Lemon somewhat regretted bringing Zhenxin, having acted on impulse and forgetting her unique status.
"Go ahead." Lin Zhenxin, unaware of her friend’s inner turmoil, prepared to grab some fruit from the buffet.
Just as she reached the table, she sensed someone approaching from behind. Out of the corner of her eye, she glanced back, and who else could it be but He Bainian?
She lost any mood for eating, pretending not to know and moving to the other side.
But it was clear He Bainian wasn’t giving up!
"Brother Nian." Fortunately, Li Miya, who had been watching He Bainian’s movements closely, noticed and gracefully positioned herself in front of him.
Successfully blocking He Bainian.
Her dislike for Lin Zhenxin grew, yet she dared not act on it.
Lin Zhenxin breathed a sigh of relief, sipped her champagne, and noticed Wu Feng with a middle-aged man, smiling obsequiously while shaking hands with various leaders. When his gaze met hers, his smile visibly stiffened.
"Miss Lin." Suddenly, someone stood next to her.
Xun Chen wore a neutral expression, his rimless glasses perched on his nose, clearly not in a good mood.
Their last encounter hadn’t exactly ended on a high note.
But compared to He Bainian, Lin Zhenxin definitely preferred seeing Xun Chen.
"Lawyer Xun." She responded politely.
Xun Chen’s complex gaze analyzed Lin Zhenxin, even she sensed something was off.
"What’s wrong?" she asked.
"If there’s any internal conflict between you and Yanan, can’t you resolve it at home, without always dragging me into it?"
Xun Chen’s face showed rare grievance.
He was recognized as a genius lawyer in the industry, yet he couldn’t escape the clutches of this couple.
"If Yanan really can’t do it, I know a famous doctor who can guarantee a vigorous recovery!"
The more Xun Chen thought about it, the more he felt Li Yanan was irritated today; could he have been pent-up for so long he broke down?
Lin Zhenxin nearly spat out her champagne, shocked by Xun Chen’s comment.
But her face still blushed from the coughing.
"Who told you he can’t?" If Li Yanan was considered ’unable,’ then what could be considered ’able’?
Lin Zhenxin felt her face burning up fast.
"He came to me today, acting crazy and asking if he was too old. I said a few words, and he wants to demote me!"
Xun Chen realized, in hindsight, that one should never cross this couple; Li Yanan’s actions were pure, blatant revenge!
Sly, too sly!
