Don't meet me in your next life.

Many guests have already arrived outside, and many of them are prominent figures.

Lin Lubai wanted to explain to his grandfather, but with so many people around, his grandfather couldn't get away at all. As soon as he approached, his grandfather started pulling him to greet the guests, and Lin Lubai didn't have a chance to speak.

Realizing that this was not the time to talk, Lin Lubai could only greet the guests first, thinking he would explain things to his grandfather after the banquet.

The banquet proceeded in an orderly manner, and Grandpa pulled Lin Lubai onto the stage of the banquet hall.

The room fell silent. Everyone sat and waited for Old Master Lin to speak.

"Thank you all for coming to our Lin family home. Today is my eldest son's 60th birthday. Although I am still alive, he shouldn't be celebrating such a big birthday, but I'm particular about these things. I don't know how many more years I have left to live, so I can't let my son suffer." The 73-year-old grandfather said with a strong voice.

A round of applause immediately followed.

Grandpa waved his hand, and the room immediately fell silent again.

"Today is my eldest son's birthday. On this joyous occasion, I have two more pieces of good news to announce."

Lin Lubai's heart pounded when his grandfather said those words.

"The first reason is that I am getting old, and the Lin family should choose a successor. Everyone has been guessing for a long time. Today I announce here that from now on, our Lin family will be handed over to my grandson Lin Lubai to manage."

When Grandpa finished speaking, there was another round of applause.

After a brief pause, the grandfather slowly spoke again: "I believe everyone is also concerned about something else, which is my grandson's marriage."

"Grandpa, my marriage isn't in a rush." ​​Lin Lubai said anxiously from the side, hoping that Grandpa wouldn't cause any trouble.

“My grandson is over thirty years old and has been single all this time. Now that I see him and the Su family girl are so in love, I’m really happy,” the grandfather said.

"Grandpa." Lin Lubai pulled her grandfather and looked at him nervously.

"Today I want to announce that Xiaobai and Su Qiaoqiao's engagement banquet will be held soon, and I have already contacted the famous wedding dress designer AY for them."

The applause erupted. With the Lin and Su families united in marriage, their positions would likely be unshakeable, and everyone would want to curry favor with them.

Hearing his grandfather say this, Lin Lu was dumbfounded. This was just one problem after another.

Applause erupted, but Lin Lubai felt as if each pat was hitting him on the head, and he was the one who was in pain.

As soon as Lin Lubai stepped off the stage, the guests immediately surrounded him, offering their congratulations on his double happiness and the Lin family's triple happiness.

The old man of the Su family was also quite lively, with many people surrounding him and Su Qiaoqiao.

Lin Lubai appeared to be giving him a perfunctory response, but in reality, he was extremely anxious.

After dealing with all the guests, the reporter started to press the issue.

"Young Master Lin, you're enjoying success in both your career and love life. What are your thoughts?" a reporter asked.

Lin Lubai felt like a million curses were running through his mind. What kind of crazy love harvest was this? He really needed to figure out how to end this.

Lin Lubai dared not say such things aloud. He could only smile at the media and say, "Thank you for your concern. Today is mainly to celebrate my uncle's birthday. Please focus your attention on my uncle."

However, these reporters didn't buy it at all.

"Mr. Lin, how did you and Ms. Su meet? Could you tell us about your relationship?"

"Yes, Mr. Lin, when do you and Miss Su plan to get engaged?"

The reporter bombarded him with questions one after another.

Lin Lu's hair has turned white, but this matter will only get worse if he tries to explain it to the media.

"I'm sorry, Su Qiaoqiao and I are just siblings. As for anything else, I can't tell you right now," Lin Lubai could only say.

However, some people still managed to grasp the key point.

"Are you saying that you and Su Qiaoqiao are just siblings, and you were planning to get engaged? Is this just an arranged marriage between families?"

The question was so tricky that the room fell silent.

The expressions on the faces of the Su family patriarch and Su Qiaoqiao immediately turned sour, and everyone was waiting for him to continue.

"Haha, it's normal for young people to be shy. Everyone, stop crowding around Xiaobai and sit down to eat. As for the engagement banquet, we'll send out invitations at a later date." Grandpa walked over to the side at some point and took over the reporter's words.

The younger uncle squeezed into the crowd, grabbed Lin Lubai, and started walking.

Grandpa's words caused the reporters and guests who had gathered to disperse, and everyone sat down at the table to eat, but the discussions continued.

Lin Lubai's words embarrassed the Su family on the spot. The maternal grandfather quickly went over to apologize to the Su family patriarch: "Old Su, my good-for-nothing grandson is ignorant. Please forgive him."

"My Qiaoqiao isn't someone anyone can marry. If it weren't for you and Qiaoqiao, I wouldn't even look at that boy." The old man of the Su family was a little angry.

Qiaoqiao quickly tugged at her grandfather.

"Yes, yes, Qiaoqiao is a good girl. I'll deal with that brat of yours." That was the only way Grandpa could manage to end things. "Qiaoqiao, you know Xiaobai. I believe in your relationship. Grandpa will make him apologize to you later."

The old man of the Su family was still somewhat displeased, after all, Lin Lubai had publicly humiliated the Su family today.

"Grandpa has hired the famous wedding dress designer AY for you. She will design your engagement and wedding dresses," Grandpa quickly told Qiaoqiao.

“That designer is practically impossible to hire, Grandpa is amazing. Thank you, Grandpa,” Qiaoqiao said happily.

"We're all family, don't be so polite," Grandpa said with a smile.

The farce in the banquet hall temporarily subsided, as if nothing had happened. Everyone began chatting, after all, this was a rare gathering of business people.

Lin Lubai's uncle pulled him into the study: "Xiaobai, are you stupid? How could you say that in front of the reporters?"

"Uncle, you know I can't marry Su Qiaoqiao," Lin Lubai said anxiously.

"You can't say that now. It's like slapping the Su family in the face in public. Where does that leave the Su family and Qiaoqiao?" his uncle reminded him.

"What else can I do? If I don't say anything, things will only get worse." Lin Lubai was a little dejected. He still hadn't found Yi Yi, and one thing after another was happening here.

Seeing Lin Lubai's dejected look, his uncle felt a little sorry for him: "Forget it, I'll handle today's matter. I'll talk to the reporters later and make sure this isn't reported."

"Yes, remember to have them delete everything about the engagement banquet. Otherwise, it will have too much of an impact and it will be bad for both of our families," Lin Lubai said in a low voice.

"I know, you rest for a while, I'll take care of it." The uncle walked out.

Lin Lubai sat in the executive chair in his study, his eyes slightly closed. Where was his Yi Yi? Were they destined to be apart? Lin Lubai stood up; he couldn't believe it.

Good things come to those who wait; his Xiang Yi is surely waiting for him somewhere to find her.
