A beautifully dressed young girl with delicate and pretty features suddenly squeezed her way through . She used an implied look of hatred to size her up, then asked very directly, "Which Ms . Lin are you? What is your relationship with Mr . Lu?"
Lin Wanwan could tell that she did not have good intentions and looked at her strangely . "My surname is Lin . Don't you already know that?"
"I'm asking, which famous Lin family do you belong to?"
She put emphasis on the word "famous" . There were a lot of powerful and influential people surnamed Lin in Imperial Capital .
"The Lin that is spelled with two woods (Chinese characters) . "
"…"
She was exasperated . This was akin to playing the lute to a cow . Her expression turned ugly and she looked around her . She wanted to pull in a few alliances, but everyone looked disinterested because this matter was of no personal interest to them .
They tried to get into Lin Wanwan's good books so that they could gain access to Lu Zhanbei . If someone took the initiative to be a pathfinder, they did not mind watching some fun .
The woman bit her tooth . "Ms . Lin is reluctant to speak about her background . Could it be that you are embarrassed to say that you were not born well?"
"So what?"
Before the woman could rebut, Lin Wanwan smiled, her expression tormented and innocent .
"I know I have a very ordinary identity, but…" She looked helpless . "He's willing to bring me over . What can I do?"
It goes without saying who this "he" was .
"…"
It was like a slap in the face to the woman, and she was flushed red . The people around them had already gathered while she'd spoken only a few words .
One of the rich missus handed a glass of wine to Lin Wanwan . "Ms . Lin, today is the first time we meet . I'll give you a toast . "
It was not that they truly wanted to protect Lin Wanwan or help that woman out of the predicament . They just did not want the scene to turn ugly and anger Lu Zhanbei .
Lin Wanwan showed an apologetic look . "I'm sorry, but I don't drink alcohol . "
The rich missus had a momentary look of displeasure at the straightforward refusal . She forced a smile and said, "Since Ms . Lin doesn't like this, then…"
She had not finished her words when that young girl, who could not swallow the anger in her, pointed out sharply again, "Ms . Lin doesn't give face at all? Even if you are of a humble status, you're still Mr . Lu's female companion tonight . You don't even want to give face for a glass of wine? If word of this matter gets out, Mr . Lu is the one who will lose face!"
A few people nodded silently and were apparently dissatisfied with Lin Wanwan's behavior .
Lin Wanwan frowned her eyebrows slightly and received the wine cup . "Is that so? I can only drink then . "
She smiled at the rich missus . "A toast to you . "
Clang .
The two cups touched gently . Lin Wanwan picked up the wine cup and was about to drink .
A slender hand reached out horizontally out of nowhere and snatched the wine cup away from her .
Under the gaze of the crowd's shocked looks, he raised his neck and finished the contents of the cup in one go with elegant movements . "Is everyone satisfied now?"
The woman who proposed a toast smiled in embarrassment . "Mr . Lu…"
Lu Zhanbei's thin lips curved into a cold smile . "Even I have never forced her before . Nobody else is qualified to do so either . "
The rich missus's face turned white . Everyone else looked down in fear . They saw from the corner of their eyes a calm and collected Lin Wanwan and looked at her as if looking at a fox spirit who had been practicing for thousands of years .
This girl was incredible!
Lin Qinghao, who was among the crowd, was shocked for a long while . He seemed to have thought of something, and his face suddenly turned green .
The young girl saw that Lu Zhanbei was so protective of Lin Wanwan, and her eyes were red with jealousy . She was not willing to take this lying down and called him .
"Mr . Lu…"
Lu Zhanbei took a glance at her and quickly shifted his eyes away, as if they had been burned .
"Who are you?"
"…" The light in the woman's eyes went out in an instant, and it was apparent she had been dealt a huge blow .
