After a few seconds of silence, the aunt, perhaps because she was embarrassed, just said awkwardly: "I have something else to do over there, so I'll leave first."

Mr. Wen just nodded and didn't say anything.

After everyone left, Lin Zhujin walked up and gave the gift to Mr. Wen.

"It's just a small token of my appreciation. I hope you don't mind."

Mr. Wen's attitude towards Lin Zhujin has always been lukewarm. He used to just think that she was decent enough and there was nothing wrong with her marrying into the family.

But now that she is married to Wen Yunsheng, she feels uncomfortable in many ways. Perhaps it is because the things that happened between her and Wen Yuanshao have always been bothering her.

But today, seeing that she came over on her own initiative and brought gifts, this is much better than what Wen Yunsheng did.

He took the gift and looked at Wen Yunsheng, then sighed and said, "Where's your gift?"

Wen Yunsheng put his arm around Lin Zhujin's waist and said with a smile, "Didn't you always say that you wouldn't ask for anything if I got married? Now that I'm married, you want a gift again?"

The old man looked at Wen Yunsheng, sighed heavily, and felt like he was going to have a seizure if he continued talking.

"Alright, alright, stop mad at me."

Wen Yunsheng smiled faintly, "The gift is at the old house, you will see it when you go back."

The old man didn't say anything else, and Wen Yunsheng took Lin Zhujin and left first. The dinner would still be over for a while, and it would be almost over after dinner.

When he sat down to eat, Lin Zhujin still felt that today seemed to be going quite smoothly. He didn't even run into Wen Yuanshao's family.

Lin Zhujin didn't care whether they were held up by something and didn't come. He just thought it would be best if they didn't come, so he could finish it early and go back.

After sitting down for a while, the food had not been served yet. Wen Yunsheng received a phone call and left the table for a while.

Before he came back, the assistant next to the old man came over and said, "Ms. Lin, the old man wants to see you for something. Do you think it's convenient for you to come over now?"

I should have told Wen Yunsheng about it, but the old man sent someone over now, probably because he didn't want Wen Yunsheng to know.

Lin Zhujin nodded, stood up and adjusted the hem of her skirt.

The assistant took her to the old man's room. On the way, Lin Zhujin thought, if there was really something to discuss, he should choose to keep her after the banquet. Why did he wait until Wen Yunsheng left to call her away?

Just as he was thinking this, Lin Zhujin raised his eyes and saw three people walking towards him across the corridor.

Wen Yuanshao and his family.

The question that was puzzling just now now has an answer.

As the distance got closer, the assistant's pace slowed down visibly.

Lin Zhujin vaguely knew the reason why the old man called her out.

But she could only keep walking forward calmly until the person in front of her stopped and Wen Yuanshao stood in front of her.

She looked up and only then did Aunt Qin see that the person standing behind the assistant was Lin Zhujin.

With a smile on his face, he walked up to Lin Zhujin.

But after I walked over, I remembered that the Lin family didn’t come today. Then who did Lin Zhoujin come with today?

"Jinjin, are you here by yourself today? If we had known earlier, wouldn't it be great if we brought you here with us?"

Lin Zhujin shook his head and before he could say anything, he heard someone beside him say, "Miss Lin came with the Second Master."

This voice came from the assistant beside him.

After saying this, Lin Zhujin's expression remained the same as before, but Wen Yuanshao's expression changed.

"Why did you come here with my uncle?"

His voice was urgent. When Lin Zhujin looked at him, she took a small step back. Wen Yuanshao couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable when he saw her avoiding suspicion.

I clearly accepted his flowers a few days ago and my anger had subsided a lot, so why is he like this again today?

Before the doubts in my mind were answered, I noticed Lin Zhujin's outfit today.

In the past, when he took Lin Zhujin to banquets or something, although he prepared the dress for her, it would not be so luxurious. Besides, without him, the Lin family would not have prepared a dress for her. So who prepared this dress?

Could it be my uncle?

But isn't this a slap in the face to his uncle?

As he thought of this, a look of annoyance appeared on his face.

Seeing Wen Yuanshao like this, Lin Zhujin didn't want to bother with him any more. Even if the old man did it on purpose, she could just pretend to be stupid and leave.

She turned to look at the assistant and said, "Didn't Mr. Wen want to talk to me about something? It's better not to keep people waiting."

After saying that, she nodded at Aunt Qin and smiled.

"Then I'll be leaving first, Aunt Qin."

Wenqin was a little confused and had some questions in her mind, but when she heard that it was the old man looking for Lin Zhujin, she didn't stay long.

"it is good..."

"and many more!"

Wen Yuanshao suddenly spoke up and said to his assistant, "I'm late, and I also want to go find grandpa. Let's go together."

When Lin Zhujin heard him say this, his brows furrowed again, but he didn't say anything.

After walking out of the corridor, Lin Zhujin realized that this was not the way to the room, so he asked. The assistant only said that the old man went to the small garden to get some fresh air and did not go to the room.

It was not until she walked out of the corridor of the banquet hall that Lin Zhujin realized that the dress she was wearing was off-shoulder. Now that she was out in the wind, she was shivering.

She gritted her teeth and walked to the garden, but Wen Yuanshao beside her did not move at all.

When he arrived, he didn't see the old man. Lin Zhujin knew that this was deliberately arranged by the old man.

Even if Wen Yuanshao had not offered to come over, the assistant would probably have called him.

Lin Zhujin could understand that the old man did not trust her, so she asked Wen Yuanshao to test her.

But why find an outdoor place.

It’s really cold.

Although she looked speechless, she still pretended to be calm, smiled and said it was okay and she would wait here.

Her voice trembled when she said this.

Lin Zhujin was just about to sit on the wooden chair, but he stood up immediately after he sat down. The chair was so cold that his lower body was numb from the cold.

Wen Yuanshao didn't know what was going on. He just thought that this was a good opportunity to talk things out with Lin Zhujin while they were alone together.

"Jinjin, I have something to tell you today."

Lin Zhujin was feeling extremely cold right now. He looked at Wen Yuanshao and had no intention of talking to him at all.

Always keep a proper distance between two people.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Wen Yuanshao continued talking on his own.

"I know you were angry about me dropping you off at Qingshan that day, but I sent someone to pick you up that day, but they didn't find you. The trending search was not my initiative to slap you in the face, and I didn't expect others to say that about you. I swear I won't do that again in the future. Really, if you have any concerns, you can tell me. It will never happen again in the future."

Lin Zhujin stood there with his arms folded, the impatience in his eyes becoming even more severe.

"I really didn't..."

"Are you still bothered by Yun Jiao? I really don't have that intention towards Yun Jiao. The reason I took her in at the club was because I thought of you when I saw her that day. I didn't want you to be as helpless as her one day..."
