Chapter 89 Birthday Banquet
Suddenly, a commotion broke out at the reception area outside the venue.
Unsurprisingly, under the flashing lights, Young Master Lin, dressed in a top-quality, handcrafted black suit, appeared at the entrance of the banquet hall, exuding an air of nobility and elegance.
He entered the venue with his dashing figure and the beautiful Liu Sisi. This scene caused quite a stir and uproar among the media present.
Since Lin Xuedong was last seen with a female companion who was not Lin Lan, he has repeatedly appeared in public with a woman. This is a stark contrast to his previous image of being aloof from women and keeping to himself, which has surprised many and the media, and sparked heated discussions.
"Mr. Lin, is this beautiful lady beside you your date tonight?"
"Mr. Lin, may I introduce you? What is your relationship with this lady?"
Facing a crowd of reporters and blinded by the flashing lights, Liu Sisi instinctively took a step back and turned her face away to look at Lin Xuedong.
He gazed at her tenderly, gently patting the back of her hand to reassure her, his voice deep and clear. "Don't worry, I've got you covered."
Then he turned to the media reporters, appearing calm and composed in front of the cameras. A faint smile played on his lips, revealing a hint of sweetness.
"Thank you for your attention. This is my girlfriend."
Boom! This really caused a sensation throughout the entire venue!
The media present were so agitated that they almost broke through the security cordon.
"Mr. Lin, would you mind revealing your girlfriend's identity? She looks unfamiliar. May I ask which family she comes from?"
"Mr. Lin, how long have you two known each other? Why have I never seen you bring your girlfriend to any public events? Is there any special significance to going public with your relationship at your birthday banquet?"
"Mr. Lin, may I ask how you and your girlfriend met?"
"..." Liu Sisi became more and more flustered as she listened, and she even felt her legs trembling involuntarily.
"Everyone, my girlfriend and I have known each other for eight years. She comes from an ordinary family and isn't used to facing the media. I love her very much. As for our private matters, please forgive me for not being able to disclose them. Please give us our privacy. Thank you!"
After speaking, Lin Xuedong immediately half-embraced and half-supported Liu Sisi as they entered the banquet hall. He ignored the media's comments behind them.
Liu Sisi held onto Lin Xuedong's arm the whole time, and he was very considerate of her feet. Because those 10cm high stilettos were not easy to walk in, he became her walking stick.
The two entered the venue looking like a perfect couple. With their good looks and the fact that Lin Xuedong had personally acknowledged her as his girlfriend, they became the subject of everyone's conversation wherever they went.
It felt like a thorn in her side, putting her under immense pressure.
In the blink of an eye, Lin Xuedong brought her to Lin Zhicheng and Xie Xue.
"Dad, Sisi and I have come to wish you a happy birthday. We wish you good health, a bright future, and a life full of smiles!"
"Uncle, happy birthday. Wishing you good health, boundless happiness, and all your wishes come true!" Liu Sisi bowed slightly, presenting Lin Zhicheng with a small, exquisite gift bag, her smile gentle and humble. She then nodded to Xie Xue in greeting.
"Hmm, everyone's here? Where's Lanlan?" Lin Zhicheng accepted the gift and gave a curt reply, not particularly enthusiastic.
Seeing the slight disdain in Liu Sisi's eyes, he was a little unhappy that his son was showing off with an unknown woman in this setting. However, out of courtesy, Lin Zhicheng couldn't make a scene.
"Oh, she's probably on her way. I'll call her and ask." Lin Xuedong frowned; the mere mention of Lin Lan gave him a real headache.
When he went to deliver the necklace yesterday, she was more clingy than usual. Her unrestrained intimacy and clinginess made him extremely uncomfortable. He automatically attributed it to a habitual psychological reaction of insecurity following a past violation.
At this moment, speak of Cao Cao, and Cao Cao arrives.
Lin Lan wore a champagne gold off-shoulder gown, its small train swaying gracefully. The rose gold pear-shaped diamond necklace around her neck further accentuated her noble and radiant beauty.
Her long hair was braided into a simple princess style, with a few strands of hair braided into plaits behind one ear. A refined and elegant temperament emanated from within.
Even more unexpected was her male companion, dressed in a royal blue bespoke suit, a light blue shirt, and a maroon silk floral tie. He exuded an intellectual and gentle aura, and was poised and elegant.
He was none other than Du Zhentao, who had surprised Liu Sisi for quite some time.
"Dad, Mom, Brother, Sisi." When Lin Lan saw Lin Xuedong, a bright light flashed in her eyes, her red lips curled up, and her smile was eager. She lifted her skirt and quickened her pace unconsciously as she walked up to Lin Xuedong.
Xie Xue immediately noticed Du Zhentao beside her daughter. "Lanlan, who is this person next to you...?"
Her first impression of the young man was quite good; he seemed gentle and refined, and had an extraordinary air about him—just her type.
“Mommy, this is Du Zhentao, Dr. Du. He's my and Sisi's... friend.” Lin Lan gently tugged at Du Zhentao's wrist, smiled at him, and then introduced them one by one. “Atao, these are all my family members: my dad, my mom, and my brother and his... girlfriend.”
"Hello everyone, I'm Du Zhentao. It's a pleasure and an honor to be here with Lanlan to attend your birthday banquet, Uncle. Uncle, this is just a small token of my appreciation. I wish you a happy birthday, good health, and lots of laughter!" Du Zhentao respectfully handed over a small gift box, a warm smile on his face.
Lin Zhicheng took the small gift box, his bright eyes scanning Du Zhentao up and down. He initially felt that Du Zhentao was pleasing to the eye. "Okay, okay, thank you."
Today, his son and daughter both brought their own companions to his birthday banquet, which made him very proud and happy.
Xie Xue called Gao Bing over and told her to put the gift away. Then she turned to Du Zhentao with a beaming smile, looking eager to meet her son-in-law, and asked, unable to hide her joy.
"Dr. Du, right? May I ask which hospital and department you work in? How long have you known Lanlan?"
"Mommy~." Lin Lan couldn't help but scold her. "Atao and I are just friends, we've only known each other for a week."
"Ah Tao?" They've only known each other for a week and they're already calling each other so affectionately? Xie Xue couldn't help but linger her eyes on Du Zhentao's face, murmuring softly.
“Yes, Auntie, Lanlan and Sisi are friends. Just call me Xiao Du from now on. I’m running my own clinic now, mainly focusing on mental health.” Du Zhentao smiled faintly at Xie Xue, his gaze inadvertently sweeping over Liu Sisi, who was standing there in a daze, and the handsome man beside her, and he got a sense of what was going on.
Xiao Du?
The name sounded familiar to Lin Xuedong, though he couldn't quite place it.
He frowned slightly, then gracefully extended his hand to introduce himself. "Hello, I'm Lin Xuedong, Sisi's boyfriend, and Lanlan's...brother. Welcome."
“Nice to meet you, Mr. Lin.” Du Zhentao extended his hand to shake his, his eyes bright and clear, as if he could easily see through things. He then turned to Liu Sisi and nodded to her.
Liu Sisi smiled in response, but didn't say much, trying to maintain a lukewarm distance.
