Old Master Su answered with a smile, "She should be coming over in a while."
For something as important as Little Xuan's recognition banquet, Hua'er definitely wouldn't be absent.
The guests widened their eyes.
Boss Su was actually coming!
Boss Su never attended these kinds of banquets.
The minds of those guests began to race.
Boss Su is only twenty-six now, right?
Very young.
She is highly capable and in charge of the Su Group.
If their sons could win Boss Su's favor, their families would soar to the skies!
It would be best if they could marry Boss Su!
These guests hurriedly pulled their sons aside for a lecture.
"When Boss Su comes over later, you must try every possible way to catch Boss Su's attention. Oh, and don't touch Boss Su."
In case the seduction failed and offended Boss Su instead.
Then they would be in serious trouble.
"Did you hear what I just said?" General Manager Li frowned.
General Manager Li's son, Li Hantian, retorted, "Dad, everyone says this Boss Su already has a boyfriend. If I still rush over to seduce Boss Su, isn't that just degrading myself?"
He heard that Boss Su was a female demon. He definitely couldn't handle a woman like that.
"If Boss Su has a boyfriend, then why hasn't he appeared for so long?" General Manager Li said. "It's probably just a false rumor. Besides, even if she does have a boyfriend, you can make Boss Su dump her boyfriend and take his place."
This son of his had good looks and a kind of bad-boy charm.
Maybe Boss Su really liked his son's type.
"Got it, Dad. I'll try my best," Li Hantian said helplessly.
Lin Chang still couldn't figure out Old Jiang's thoughts and didn't dare to go up and talk to him.
Seeing Old Master Su, he couldn't help but think.
The Su family was the number one wealthy family.
If he had the Su family as his backer, Lin Xuan definitely wouldn't dare to do anything to him.
Thinking like this.
Lin Chang walked over to greet him.
"Old Master Su, hello."
Old Master Su asked in confusion, "You are..."
Lin Chang answered in a flattering tone, "Old Master Su, I am Lin Chang from Xinghui Group."
Old Master Su frowned.
He discreetly sized up Lin Chang.
So this was Xuan'er's blind father, who doted on an adopted son while neglecting his own biological son.
Really impressive.
Old Master Su's tone suddenly turned cold, "Is there something you need?"
"Old Master Su."
Lin Chang took out a very exquisite and small Buddha statue carved from golden thread nanmu.
"I happened to get this from an eminent monk two years ago. It has the power to ward off evil and avoid disasters. Today, I am passing it on as a gift to you, Old Master Su. Compared to me, you, Old Master Su, are much more worthy of this Buddha statue."
Old Master Su picked up the Buddha statue and examined it carefully.
Lin Chang curled his lips.
Old Master Su indeed liked this Buddha statue very much.
He had heard before that Old Master Su was quite superstitious.
As soon as he saw Old Master Su today, he thought of presenting this to him.
Old Master Su raised an eyebrow and said, "You said this has the power to ward off evil and avoid disasters?"
"That's right." Lin Chang smiled and nodded. "Old Master Su, if you wear this on your person, it will definitely bless you with smooth sailing, good health, and a long life."
Flattering words continuously poured out of Lin Chang's mouth.
"Is this something you have always worn on yourself?" Old Master Su asked again.
"Yes." Lin Chang nodded.
"Then this old man thanks Chairman Lin for parting with your treasure," Old Master Su said.
"However..."
Old Master Su smiled, "I don't need this."
Smash—
The small Buddha statue fell from Old Master Su's hand onto the ground.
The neck of the Buddha statue snapped.
"Old Master Su, you..." Lin Chang glanced at the Buddha statue on the ground, then looked up at Old Master Su.
Didn't Old Master Su like this Buddha statue a lot?
Why did he drop this Buddha statue on the ground?
"Chairman Lin," Old Master Su said, "I see this Buddha statue doesn't have the functions you mentioned. If it truly could ward off evil and avoid disasters as you said, then why did your Xinghui Group go bankrupt? Why did your daughter's company go bankrupt too? And why is your entire family's reputation ruined?"
Old Master Su's face was full of coldness.
Hmph.
Since this person dared to treat Little Xuan like that, he couldn't blame him for showing no mercy.
Lin Chang's face flushed bright red.
"Pfft, hahahaha—"
The guests started laughing.
"Old Master Su's words really hit the nail on the head. Exactly, if this Buddha statue really had that kind of power, the Lin family wouldn't be in such a miserable state now."
"In my opinion, what kept the Lin family sailing smoothly wasn't this Buddha statue, but Lin Xuan. The Lin family had been developing quite well before, but as soon as Lin Xuan left, they started to decline."
"That's right. These Lin family members are probably regretting it to death now, regretting that they drove Lin Xuan out."
"So, Chairman Lin, you'd better not keep this Buddha statue by your side either. I see this Buddha statue isn't some lucky charm, but a curse. Otherwise, why would you and everyone in your Lin family be so blind as to dote on an adopted son while abusing your own biological son?"
This was the first time Old Master Su disregarded his manners and rebuked someone in front of so many people.
Lin Chang's face was extremely red.
He never expected that Old Master Su would humiliate him to his face...
The eyes of those guests were full of amusement.
"This is really too interesting. This Lin Chang actually thought of going over to curry favor with Old Master Su, but in the end, not only did he fail to suck up, he was humiliated instead."
"This Lin Chang really has a lot of nerve. Did he really think someone with Old Master Su's status and position would look favorably upon him?"
Originally, some guests wanted to build a good relationship with Lin Chang, considering that he had mended fences with the Jiang family.
They all immediately dropped the idea.
They'd better not deal with an idiot like this.
Lest they offend Old Master Su.
Old Master Su spoke again, "Lin Chang, you Lin family members could have enjoyed a lifetime of wealth and glory, but who told you to treat Lin Xuan so poorly?"
Their Su family was very fiercely protective of their own.
Even if the Lin family didn't dote on Little Xuan and merely fulfilled their basic duties as parents.
The Su family could have guaranteed the Lin family a lifetime of wealth and glory.
But the Lin family did those things to Little Xuan.
Heh.
Don't even think that the Su family would give them any benefits. It could be considered merciful of him not to completely destroy him.
Suddenly, there was a commotion at the entrance.
"They're here, they're here. The two young ladies of the Jiang family are both here," a guest shouted.
The other guests all turned their heads toward the entrance.
The two young ladies had arrived.
Then did the newly recognized young master of the Jiang family also arrive?
Jiang Yutong, Jiang Manting, and Lin Xuan walked in together.
The sisters, Jiang Yutong and Jiang Manting, both had top-tier looks.
In front of this pair of beautiful sisters, Lin Xuan's brilliance was surprisingly not overshadowed.
