After being reborn, I refused to be a sucker, and my whole family was dumbfounded.

Chapter 118

Although they were very polite, if they were skilled at it, they would treat Lin Ling the same way they would any other ordinary guest.

Although the guests were all important figures, there were still distinctions of rank among them.

Lin Ling, the chairman of a multi-billion dollar conglomerate, was among the top three guests.

Moreover, it's obvious to everyone that Lin Ling is also one of the main guests invited to the Zeng family's banquet today.

However, the Zeng family seemed completely indifferent to Lin Ling.

Zeng Fa didn't even bother with basic pleasantries when dealing with someone of Lin Ling's stature. Instead, he treated Lin Ling like an ordinary guest, casually exchanging a few words before letting him in.

This attitude makes one think that Lin Ling couldn't withstand the pressure from the white dog and came to beg the Zeng family for help.

The way everyone looked at Lin Ling now carried a hint of mockery.

Having offended the white dog, Lin Ling is probably desperate and has come to the Zeng family for help.

The Zeng family seemed to regard him as a plague and were unwilling to help him.

With this in mind, everyone deliberately distanced themselves from Lin Ling.

Lin Ling didn't care. The Zeng family's actions were simply because they thought he was eager to ask them for help, so they deliberately ignored him, hoping he would take the initiative to ask them for help.

This way, the Zeng family can extract even greater benefits.

At that moment, he frowned and spotted several figures.

Lin Zhengguo was also in the banquet hall with his second and third sisters.

Lin Zhengguo looked at Lin Ling and snorted coldly.

Second sister Lin Ke'er also asked with a mocking expression, "Why are you here too?"

Lin Ling ignored them and turned to leave.

But Su Qingyan walked over from behind, arm in arm with Lin Tianwu.

Su Qingyan sneered, "President Lin, what are you doing here? Begging the Zeng family to save your dog's life?"

"Unfortunately, your dog life seems to be worthless, and the Zeng family has no intention of saving you."

The shares of Xinhe Salt Lake that she bought have risen a lot, and now she speaks with great confidence.

"Brother Lin Ling... why are you acting like a rat in the street?" Lin Tianwu said with a worried expression; "Why don't you just go home?"

Lin Ling glanced at the two of them coldly: "Get out of my way."

"Are you furious?" Third Sister Lin Keshan laughed contemptuously. "Tianwu is right. You're like a rat crossing the street now, hated by everyone."

"You should be secretly happy that the Zeng family invited you into the banquet."

"If you still don't know what's good for you and cause some trouble, you might be kicked out like a rat."

Upon hearing this, the surrounding guests cast mocking glances at them.

In most people's eyes, Lin Ling was indeed practically a rat in the street.

After all, nobody wants to mess with this mad dog, the white dog.

Lin Ling remained expressionless, gave a cold laugh, and ignored the others' mockery.

He already understood the Zeng family's purpose in sending the Lin family and Su Qingyan over.

It has three layers of meaning.

First, he couldn't help but argue with the Lin family and others, and the Zeng family stepped in, allowing him to embarrass the Lin family and others and demonstrate the Zeng family's strength.

Secondly, if a fight breaks out, the Zeng family can also take the opportunity to settle things with the white dog and get a favor from him.

Third, if I can restrain myself, I can also provoke myself and make myself think of seeking refuge with the Zeng family to get through this calamity.

The Lin family, however, were complacent, believing that the Lin family members held a higher status than themselves.

What they didn't expect was that they were merely pawns used by the Zeng family to influence them.

With just a thought from the Zeng family, they could lose all face.

Lin Ling smiled faintly, ignoring the ridicule and alienation from the crowd, and quietly sat down at the table to eat.

Upon seeing this, several key members of the Zeng family came to the meeting room to discuss the matter.

"This kid is really calm, he just sits there quietly eating and drinking."

"Yes, none of the people we arranged could stir up his emotions."

“I don’t believe he doesn’t understand what we mean. Without our help, how could he possibly be a match for the white dog?”

Zeng Fa pondered for a moment and said, "The banquet is almost over and he still hasn't made any move. This isn't a good solution. Why don't we have Su Qingyan and the Lin family provoke him, and then we can step in to help him and win his favor first?"

After hearing this, several people nodded.
