Being tortured by her whole family, she no longer pretends to be a real daughter!

"Lin Ruoyao is so lucky! I heard that Young Master Mu is deeply in love with her. Even though he knows she's not the real daughter of the Lin family, he still wants to marry her."

"The Mu family has been so powerful in recent years. If Lin Ruoyao were to marry into the Mu family and become their young mistress in the future, that would be truly amazing!"

"What a talented man and beautiful woman, they are a perfect match!"

"..."

Amidst the envious and admiring gazes of the crowd, Lin Ruoyao glanced down at Lin Yusheng not far away, with a smile of victory on her lips.

Lin Yusheng, did you see it?

No matter how beautiful you are, a man as outstanding as Mu Xiuyuan won't even glance at you because of your beauty.

If a woman's beauty cannot attract outstanding men, then it is in vain.

"What's there to be proud of?" Chu Lingfei also came to celebrate Lin Yusheng's birthday. Looking at Lin Ruoyao's smug face, she rolled her eyes and said, "She's just a man. Look how happy she is."

Lin Yusheng held the wine glass with a calm expression on his face.

At this moment, Ye Qingying suddenly exclaimed: "Oh! I just remembered that today is not just Lin Ruoyao's birthday!"

"Today is also Lin Yusheng's birthday!"

Ye Qingying's voice was so loud that everyone looked towards Lin Yusheng.

That’s right, there are two protagonists today.

Seeing everyone's eyes on Lin Yusheng, Ye Qingying deliberately put on a curious expression, "Lin Yusheng, Ruoyao's boyfriend is here to congratulate her on her birthday. Why isn't your boyfriend here?"

"Today is such an important day, and he won't come to congratulate you?"

Ye Qingying's words were like a bolt of thunder, which instantly exploded among the crowd.

"What? Lin Yusheng has a boyfriend?"

Most people were surprised. After all, Lin Yusheng had just returned to the Lin family not long ago, and no one expected that she would have a boyfriend so soon.

This kind of gossip is the most attractive, and everyone is a little curious.

"Who is Lin Yusheng's boyfriend? Why have I never heard of him?"

"Ms. Lin Yusheng is so beautiful. I'm really curious about what kind of man she's interested in."

Someone else started to jeer: "Since you have a boyfriend, you should introduce him at the birthday party so that everyone knows who he is, right?"

……

Lin Yusheng frowned.

Should I introduce Lu Jingxiao to them here?

This might...scare them, right?

The point is, will they believe it?

She herself felt that the development of her relationship with Lu Jingxiao was a bit inexplicable, let alone these bystanders. She didn't even know where to start explaining.

While Lin Yusheng was hesitating, Lin Ruoyao said softly, "Stop joking. My sister's boyfriend is just an ordinary person. I'm sure no one knows him."

"Ordinary people? That means they're not in the same circle as us."

Everyone present was from a wealthy noble family. Those who were not in the same circle as them had very ordinary family backgrounds.

A sneer flashed in Ye Qingying's eyes. "He didn't even come to congratulate his girlfriend on such an important day. He's really rude. He's probably a poor loser with no manners."

"Lin Yusheng, why are you so depressed? Why would you choose a boyfriend like this, someone who has no status and doesn't love you? Have you been deceived?"

As soon as Ye Qingying said this, everyone looked at Lin Yusheng with contempt.

"Is Lin Yusheng crazy? She's the daughter of the Lin family, yet she's dating a poor boy."

"Alas, he was raised outside, he has no knowledge at all, he was easily deceived by a poor loser, he is really stupid."

"In my opinion, the reason why Lin Yusheng's boyfriend didn't come is because he's not presentable enough!"

"Lin Yusheng's judgment of men is really not as good as Lin Ruoyao's. Even though Lin Ruoyao isn't a true rich girl, she still found Young Master Mu as her boyfriend. But Lin Yusheng is like a joke."

"If this gets out, tsk tsk..."

Sighs and discussions rose one after another. Even though everyone lowered their voices because this was the Lin family's home ground, the sounds still kept coming into their ears.

Lin Yaodong saw the commotion here and walked over. When he heard these words, his face suddenly turned ugly.

He didn't even know when Lin Yusheng had a boyfriend.

Still a nobody!

Did he allow it?

Lin Yaodong hurried over and said, "Stop joking, everyone. Our Yu Sheng doesn't have a boyfriend. She just came home and hasn't even had time to make friends yet. How could she have a boyfriend?"

"I don't know where these rumors came from. They're all misunderstandings, all misunderstandings..."

After Lin Yaodong gave a long explanation, everyone dispersed.

Lin Yaodong breathed a sigh of relief.

He pulled Lin Yusheng into a corner and said, "Are you crazy? Who allowed you to get acquainted with those shady people outside? You almost brought shame to our entire Lin family!"

The gentle mask that Lin Yaodong had been wearing for some time was instantly removed, and he became the familiar look that Lin Yusheng was familiar with.

But this made Lin Yusheng feel natural. She sneered and retorted: "What do you mean by unclean people? Why do you believe everything they say..."

"Enough! I'm warning you, cut off all ties with that poor loser outside immediately!" Lin Yaodong said with a gloomy face.

He thought that he might have been too indulgent towards Lin Yusheng these days.

Even though Lin Yusheng has good grades and calligraphy, he is not as good as Lin Ruoyao in interacting with others.

"Take a good look at your sister!"

Lin Yaodong pointed in the direction of Lin Ruoyao.

Lin Ruoyao was surrounded by a group of rich second-generation young men and rich girls like a star surrounding the moon.

People kept coming in, giving her gifts and congratulating her.

"I won't say much about Lin Ruoyao's best friend Ye Qingying. Ye Qingying's sister will soon marry into the Si family. Lin Ruoyao is close to the Ye family, and making friends with them will only benefit our Lin family!"

"And the guy in the plaid suit is the eldest son of the Xu family. His father is the secretary of the deputy mayor. Lin Ruoyao and he have a very good relationship. He came all the way here today to congratulate Lin Ruoyao!"

"And the one in the blue skirt is the second daughter of the Hu family, who runs a warehouse business. Our business is inseparable from cooperation with the Hu family. Every year, the price the Hu family gives us is the cheapest."

"Look at Yaoyao, she's so popular, and then look at you!"

Lin Yaodong glanced at two girls not far away who looked like they came from ordinary backgrounds.

It’s Chu Lingfei and Song Qingyu.

They stood among the gorgeously dressed young ladies, and although they tried their best to overcome their nervousness, they still felt a little out of place.

Lin Yaodong didn't even want to look at it, "Is that someone you know?"

"You only know worthless people like these?"

"What a waste!"

As soon as Lin Yaodong finished his angry scolding, the housekeeper suddenly came hurriedly over with a look of panic on his face.

"Mr. Lin! Miss Lu is here!"

Lin Yaodong was stunned.

"Which Miss Lu?"

As far as I can remember, there is no family with the surname Lu who has a good relationship with the Lin family.

"It's Miss Lu from the Lu family, one of the four major families!" the housekeeper said hurriedly.

"What?" Lin Yaodong was completely shocked.

Is she the daughter of the Lu family?

Why is she here?

Without time to think, he hurriedly said: "Quick, let Lin Ruoyao go with me to greet her!"

The daughter of the Lu family came in person, it couldn't be that she was here to congratulate Lin Yusheng, she must have come to congratulate Lin Ruoyao.

Lin Yaodong did not dare to neglect the people from the Lu family at all. He left Lin Yusheng behind and strode towards the door in a very hurried pace.
