Zhao Jinyu's unexpected arrival surprised Lin Shuhuai: "Mr. Zhao, why are you here?"

"Mrs. Lin, it's been a long time since we last met." Zhao Jinyu responded.

Lin Shuhuai's spouse also had the surname Lin and had frequent business interactions with the Zhao family, so Lin Shuhuai and Zhao Jinyu had dealt with each other on several occasions.

Although there was no deep communication between them, as the son of the Zhao family, Lin Shuhuai was naturally familiar with his name.

Zhao Jinyu nodded politely to Lin Shuhuai, then smiled:

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation, Mrs. Lin. I just happened to be sitting next to you and accidentally heard some of it."

Lin Shuhuai seemed a little embarrassed. She knew Lin Yanrong's arrogance and stubbornness. Her father always spoiled her unconditionally, and once she was not satisfied by her father, she would come to Lin Xuan to confide in him.

Lin Shuhuai does not have much personal feelings for Ye Wanqing, her former niece-in-law, but she trusts Mrs. Lin's judgment. The fact that Ye Wanqing can still make Mrs. Lin miss her even after the divorce is enough to prove that she is a person who values love and friendship.

Mrs. Lin had a birthday not long ago, but Lin Shuhuai was unable to attend the celebration because he was overseas. Later, after learning about some of the events at the birthday party, he began to have a better impression of Ye Wanqing. She understood that Lin Yanrong's words were mixed, and Lin Xuan's questioning made her feel a little uncomfortable.

Zhao Jinyu's intrusion made Lin Shuhuai feel a little embarrassed. After all, this was a family scandal. Although Ye Wanqing was no longer a member of the Lin family, her past identity could not be ignored.

Zhao Jinyu finally spoke. Lin Shuhuai quickly adjusted his expression and tried to remain calm. "Mr. Zhao, you're really polite. Yanrong has been spoiled by her father to the point of being lawless. She often speaks without considering the consequences. Just treat her as something insignificant."

Regarding Lin Xuan, Lin Shuhuai thought to himself, Mrs. Lin has said that he is a stubborn donkey, so let him be, he can't change his temper anyway.

Zhao Jinyu smiled gently, her tone calm: "Mrs. Lin, don't worry too much. I'm not here to accuse anyone of being right or wrong. I just think Miss Lin may have misunderstood some situations.

Ms. Lin failed the audition and mistakenly believed that Ms. Ye had given her a low score. Although Ms. Lin had reviewed all the judges' scores before leaving, perhaps because of her emotions, she did not review them carefully.

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Ms. Lin thinks it was Ms. Ye who gave the low score. In fact, it was me who gave the score. I'm not an expert in this field, so my score may not be professional enough, but the low score is indeed because Ms. Lin's performance was not satisfactory."

Zhao Jinyu's words not only showed his humility, but also ruthlessly pointed out Lin Yanrong's mistakes. Lin Yanrong's arrogant attitude disappeared instantly, she lowered her head, and dared not make any more sounds.

Lin Shuhuai could hear the displeasure and sarcasm in Zhao Jinyu's words, but Lin Yanrong was indeed at fault first, so she could only swallow her anger and try to ease the atmosphere:

"So that's how it is. She is indeed spoiled. I hope Mr. Zhao won't take it personally."

Zhao Jinyu turned to Ye Wanqing and said firmly, "Ms. Lin didn't accuse me, so I naturally don't take it to heart. But Miss Ye is my friend, and I have a responsibility to clarify the facts to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings between Mrs. Lin and Mr. Lin."

His gaze returned to Lin Yanrong, with a hint of a smile on his face:

"By the way, Miss Lin seemed to have mentioned that she wanted to settle accounts with Mr. Lin. Now the truth is clear. I was the one who gave the low score. If Miss Lin really wanted to settle accounts, she should have come directly to me."

"Why don't we just resolve this matter today, right now, Miss Lin? What do you think?"

Lin Shuhuai knew clearly that Zhao Jinyu was defending Ye Wanqing, and she felt complicated, but as the daughter raised by Mrs. Lin, she knew how to judge right from wrong.

Lin Yanrong's fault is irrefutable. Although they are in a public place and it is inconvenient for Lin Shuhuai to directly accuse Lin Yanrong under the gaze of many people, it is an indisputable principle that one must take responsibility for mistakes.

"Yanrong, you should apologize to Miss Ye." Lin Shuhuai said in a firm tone, while glancing at Lin Xuan inconspicuously.

He sat there upright, his lips tight and his eyes deep. Feeling Lin Shuhuai's gaze, Lin Xuan frowned slightly and his eyes were as cold as ice.

Lin Shuhuai sighed softly in his heart, looked away, and looked at Lin Yanrong seriously.

What Lin Yanrong feared most was Lin Shuhuai's gaze. She immediately felt like a butterfly with its wings plucked off, unable to raise its proud wings again.

She slowly turned around, faced Ye Wanqing, and uttered "I'm sorry" in a weak voice.

Lin Shuhuai was clearly dissatisfied with this apology: "Your voice is so soft, did you miss breakfast?"

Lin Yanrong's eyes quickly turned red. She bit her lips tightly and was silent for a moment. Finally, she mustered up the courage and apologized to Ye Wanqing again:

"I'm sorry, Miss Ye."

Ye Wanqing glanced at Lin Yanrong calmly and said indifferently, "I heard it, Miss Lin."

Her attitude was not sharp, but to Lin Yanrong, it sounded like a slap in the face by Ye Wanqing.

However, Lin Shuhuai was right beside her, and Lin Yanrong was like Sun Wukong under the supervision of Guanyin Bodhisattva. Even though she was dissatisfied, she did not dare to act rashly.

Lin Shuhuai stepped in at the right time to ease the tense atmosphere: "Since it's just a misunderstanding, I hope Miss Ye won't take it to heart."

"Mrs. Lin, you're too polite." Ye Wanqing responded with a smile, "I still have some things to take care of, so I won't bother you anymore."

As soon as she finished speaking, she nodded slightly, turned and walked out the door.

Zhao Jinyu also said a few polite words of farewell, and after Ye Wanqing, he also walked out of the restaurant door.

Lin Shuhuai watched the two figures gradually walk away, then turned his gaze to Lin Xuan.

Seeing the rather unpleasant expression on her nephew's face, she couldn't help but find it somewhat funny and laughed softly:

"This Mr. Zhao seems to be interested in Wanqing?"

A hint of displeasure flashed across Lin Xuan's dark eyes, but he quickly adjusted his mood.

He didn't seem to notice Lin Shuhuai's comments, but handed a tissue to Lin Yanrong, who was sobbing beside him:

"Aunt, are you too strict with Yanrong?"

When Lin Shuhuai heard Lin Xuan's words, the smile on his face immediately disappeared:

"Didn't you hear her unfounded accusations just now? If I didn't know Ye Wanqing's character very well, I might really be misled by her words and misunderstand her."

At this point, Lin Shuhuai seemed to remember something and changed his tone:

"Why did you question Wanqing just now?"

Lin Xuan frowned slightly.

Lin Shuhuai knew that this was Lin Xuan's habitual action when he was unhappy. She didn't insist on Lin Xuan giving an answer, but seeing Lin Xuan's expression, she couldn't help but feel a little ironic:

"I didn't quite understand why Wanqing wanted to divorce you before, but now it seems that I understand a little bit."

Lin Shuhuai picked up her handbag, stood up, and looked at Lin Yanrong beside her:

"let's go."
