The host ruthlessly crushes scum in the small world

Lin's parents also saw Xiao Jinzhou. Since that incident, the Xiao family and the Lin family had completely broken off relations, only maintaining a facade of harmony.

But this doesn't mean that Lin's parents should treat Xiao Jinzhou the same way they did before.

Xiao Jinzhou had planned to cause trouble for Lin Chuyun again after leaving the Lin family, but he hasn't had time to do so these past few days, as he's either at the hospital or at the company.

Xiao Jinzhou went to the hospital because his body appeared perfectly fine, but he would be woken up by pain every night. The hospital couldn't find anything wrong, and he was so tormented that he couldn't sleep well.

Moreover, he had company projects to oversee, and those people couldn't find Song Xinhan at all.

Everything was weighing on Xiao Jinzhou's mind, making him appear quite unwell. Standing there, dealing with the flatterers, left him physically and mentally exhausted.

The four people who walked past her were all alone, seemingly relaxed and at ease. Lin Chuyun, as if sensing something, turned her head, raised an eyebrow at Xiao Jinzhou, and then walked into the venue.

Looking at Lin Chuyun's eyes, Xiao Jinzhou felt his body begin to ache again.

Mr. Zhou arrived quickly. Ultimately, the bidding process boiled down to Mr. Zhou's preferences—not only whether the proposal would secure him satisfactory funding, but also whether he would find the plan agreeable.

The bidding process ended quickly, and Mr. Zhou and the others went into a separate meeting room for final discussions.

The news of Xiao Jinzhou's entry into the Lin family hadn't been widely publicized, as both families valued their reputation. Therefore, people were puzzled as to why Xiao Jinzhou wasn't with the Lin family members today.

But there were some clueless people who wanted to make their presence known to Xiao Jinzhou.

"Mr. Xiao, has that necklace from the auction still been delivered?"

Xiao Jinzhou looked at the person with suspicion, but unexpectedly remembered him immediately. This was the person who had sat next to him at a previous auction.

Looking at the radiant ruby ​​necklace on stage, Xiao Jinzhou thought of Lin Chuyun. Lin Chuyun's fair skin, coupled with the diamond-encrusted ruby ​​necklace, would surely make her glow.

So he bought the necklace directly, but when he returned to the company with it, he didn't expect to see Song Xinhan still waiting for him there.

Xiao Jinzhou's heart softened immediately, and he gave the necklace to Song Xinhan. The moment Song Xinhan received the gift, her eyes lit up, and she immediately hugged Xiao Jinzhou. Xiao Jinzhou had been hesitating about his actions, but in that instant, he felt it was truly worthwhile.

But now that Xiao Jinzhou was being asked about the necklace, he didn't know what to say for a moment. Unfortunately, there were too many people around him, and everyone heard him, so they waited anxiously for his reply.

However, some people glanced at Lin Chuyun, after all, everyone knew about the relationship between the Xiao family and the Lin family, especially when the Lin family's daughter was diagnosed with a heart condition, Xiao Jinzhou still stayed by her side.

Therefore, everyone believes that Xiao Jinzhou must have specially purchased this necklace as a gift for Lin Chuyun.

Lin Chuyun, who was being watched, knew what everyone was thinking, but she didn't care. She was more interested in hearing Xiao Jinzhou's response.

"Oh... that necklace, I definitely got it, but I haven't had a chance to give it to you yet..."

Xiao Jinzhou had no choice but to lie like this.

"Oh dear, now that you've said that, Mr. Xiao won't have any surprises left!"

The others joked, their eyes darting back and forth between Xiao Jinzhou and Lin Chuyun.

Lin Chuyun pretended to be unaware and looked at the others, after all, she was the one who was supposed to receive the "gift".

"What gift is Mr. Xiao giving to whom?!"

Lin Chuyun pretended to be very curious and asked Xiao Jinzhou. She wanted to see how Xiao Jinzhou would answer, after all, the necklace had most likely already been given to Song Xinhan, and there was only one of that necklace!

"Oh? Look, Miss Lin doesn't know yet. See? It's all our fault for ruining the surprise. Mr. Xiao won't be angry with us, will he?"

No one else expected that Xiao Jinzhou hadn't leaked a single word to Lin Chuyun, so there was really no surprise now.

"No...it's okay, it's going to be delivered anyway."

Xiao Jinzhou dared not reveal his temper in front of everyone. After all, those who came here all had some form of cooperation with the Xiao family, and they were all influential figures. He also dared not say anything else to avoid hurting the harmony.

"Oh? Mr. Xiao is going to give me a gift? I just heard it's a necklace?"

Lin Chuyun was so surprised that she stood up, covering her mouth and looking at Xiao Jinzhou with shining eyes.

The first person to speak to Xiao Jinzhou immediately opened his mouth.

"Yes, it's the necklace. You have no idea how enthusiastic Mr. Xiao was when he saw it. No matter how much others offered, he kept adding to it! Miss Lin, there's only one of those ruby ​​necklaces. I must say, Mr. Xiao has excellent taste; it would definitely suit you perfectly!"

"Really? I didn't know Jinzhou was so good to me! I've never even seen the ruby ​​necklace you described! Right, Jinzhou!"

Lin Chuyun stared directly at Xiao Jinzhou, and the others also looked at Xiao Jinzhou.

Xiao Jinzhou couldn't possibly admit in front of everyone that he had already given face to another person; that had put him in such a difficult position. So, in the end, Xiao Jinzhou had no choice but to speak slowly.

"If you reveal all the surprise, it's no longer a surprise!"

So I had to give this ambiguous answer, but everyone took it as an admission and started joking around with it.

Time passed quickly, and Mr. Zhou's assistant released the list.

"In the end, Mr. Zhou chose the company that was—"

"Chen Shuang Company!"

The assistant walked to Duan Qing'an's side, gesturing for him to follow him inside. Lin Chuyun nodded, and Duan Qing'an then left.

Xiao Jinzhou, standing next to him, nearly lost his balance and fell back into his chair. After all, in his eyes, only he could win this project.

After all, the Xiao family was the strongest bidder this time, so who would have thought that Shen Shuang would suddenly appear!

Xiao Jinzhou glared at Lin Chuyun with a fierce look. Lin Chuyun, sensing his gaze, immediately returned it with a look of utter contempt.

Those around Xiao Jinzhou could tell he was in a bad mood, so one by one they quickly left.

So only Xiao Jinzhou's company personnel, Lin's parents, and Lin Chuyun remained in the venue.

"Lin Chuyun, what exactly is your relationship with him?!"

Lin Chuyun turned her head impatiently to look at Xiao Jinzhou. How dare Xiao Jinzhou question her? If anyone should be questioning someone, it should be her!

"Mr. Xiao, what's it to you?"

"How can this not be my business! She was with a guy of unknown origin, chatting and laughing together—how shameless of her!!"
