Jiang Qing looked at the Lin family and suddenly understood.
No wonder CEO Su would attend Wu Wenqing's birthday banquet. So, the birthday banquet for Wu Wenqing and Lin Li were both held at the Royal Hotel.
Lin Xuan was likely also at this birthday banquet.
Therefore, CEO Su was here for Lin Xuan.
"This CEO Su is truly beautiful," Lin Qingyan said with admiration, following behind Lin Li.
Lin Li remained silent.
Lin Qingyan asked in confusion, "Little Li, what's wrong with you? Just a moment ago, you were fine, but now you look like you've lost your soul."
"I'm fine," Lin Li replied with a forced smile.
Su Hua stepped into the banquet hall.
The noisy banquet hall suddenly fell silent in an instant.
Too beautiful.
Simply too beautiful.
After a long silence, someone who had seen Su Hua before exclaimed in surprise, "It's really CEO Su! Su Hua actually came to attend Lin Li's birthday banquet!"
Hearing this, others in the room marveled.
"I thought someone was joking about the Lin family. Turns out it's true. What face does the Lin family have to invite Su Hua to Lin Li's birthday banquet?"
"It's rumored that Su Hua never attends such random banquets. What kind of methods did the Lin family use?"
"No matter what, the Lin family has hooked up with Su Hua, which is a tremendous blessing. The Lin family will be unstoppable from now on."
Lin Chang puffed out his chest, feeling extremely proud.
From now on, who would dare to look down on the Lin family?
Su Hua's gaze swept across everyone in the banquet hall but didn't find Lin Xuan. A subtle dissatisfaction appeared in her eyes.
"CEO Su, your presence at my son's banquet has truly made it shine brighter," Lin Chang said obsequiously.
Su Hua, not seeing Lin Xuan and annoyed by Lin Chang's clinginess, frowned unhappily, "You say I came for Lin Li's birthday banquet?"
"Isn't that so?"
Lin Chang frowned and pulled Lin Li over. "CEO Su, didn't you know? This is my son, Lin Li."
Su Hua glanced at Lin Li indifferently, "Who he is has nothing to do with me."
Lin Chang's face stiffened. Standing there, he had no idea how to handle the situation.
Jiang Qing pretended to check his phone.
"Well...," Jiang Qing frowned, "CEO Su, it seems we've come to the wrong place. Wu Wenqing's birthday banquet is on the third floor."
Jiang Qing said apologetically, "Are you Lin Chang? You see, as soon as we arrived, you guided us here. We thought you were under Wu Wenqing."
"Excuse me."
Jiang Qing and Su Hua left.
The guests gave Lin Chang strange looks.
"I thought Lin Chang really had the face to invite Su Hua to a small birthday banquet, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding."
"Doesn't the Lin family know their own worth? How can they take this for granted? What thick skin."
"By the way, why would Su Hua attend Wu Wenqing's birthday banquet?"
"You don't know? Wu Wenqing is a distant relative of Su Hua..."
Lin Chang's legs felt like lead as his face turned pale, standing there motionless.
Earlier, he had confidently announced that Su Hua was attending Lin Li's birthday banquet. In the blink of an eye, Su Hua had given him a humiliating slap.
He couldn't help but blame Lin Li, saying in a low voice, "Lin Li, weren't you saying that Su Hua was very interested in you?"
But Su Hua had completely ignored Lin Li!
It had cost him his face utterly!
"Dad, someone claiming to be Su Hua did investigate me earlier, but I'm not sure why," Lin Li said with a troubled expression.
Looking back now, Su Hua probably investigated him because of Lin Xuan.
It must have been Lin Xuan who said something bad about him in front of Su Hua!
Jiang Shuqin immediately defended her son, "Why are you blaming Lin Li? It was just a guess that she came for him. You didn't even confirm it yourself."
At that moment, a servant rushed over.
"Master, it's bad! Young Master has bumped into Su Hua!"
"What!"
Lin Chang's eyes widened in shock.
Rumor had it that Su Hua was extremely averse to men. Anyone who touched her would face dire consequences.
Lin Xuan had actually bumped into her.
If this implicated the Lin family...
Lin Chang turned pale and hurried out.
Many guests, eager to watch the spectacle, followed him.
Outside the banquet hall.
Lin Xuan looked at the smiling woman in surprise.
"Hua, why are you here?"
"Also, are you all right?"
Earlier, while looking at his phone, he hadn't noticed anyone in front and bumped into Su Hua.
Su Hua smiled, "It's nothing."
Jiang Qing looked up, thinking that CEO Su's romantic antics were truly unique since falling in love.
Earlier, Lin Xuan was walking fine, but CEO Su deliberately walked in front, making him bump into her.
Su Hua took a few steps forward and sniffed at Lin Xuan's neck. "No perfume smell. Xuan, you've been good today and didn't let other women near."
Lin Xuan understood. So, Su Hua was here to check on him.
"Xuan, remember to come home early. My banquet will end early, and it's on the way. We can go back together later."
Su Hua's gaze swept over the suit Lin Xuan was wearing, her expression deepening.
The suits should all be bought by now. If they got home early, she could get Xuan to try them on one by one.
"Sure," Lin Xuan nodded.
"Xuan." Su Hua's voice was long and drawn out as she took a step forward. "Lin Xuan!" Suddenly, Lin Chang's strong voice came from behind.
The cozy atmosphere between them vanished, and Su Hua's eyes turned cold.
Lin Chang strode over. Seeing Su Hua's icy expression, his heart finally sank.
It was over.
Lin Xuan had thoroughly offended Su Hua this time.
Lin Chang hurriedly apologized, "CEO Su, Lin Xuan offended you just now, and as his father, I apologize on his behalf."
"Although Lin Xuan has severed ties with the Lin family, it's ultimately my failure as a father's discipline. Please don't hold it against him."
"Of course, CEO Su, you can punish Lin Xuan however you want."
Lin Chang quickly distanced himself from Lin Xuan in a few words.
He only hoped that Lin Xuan's actions wouldn't implicate the Lin family.
Lin Chang looked at Lin Xuan and frowned, ordering, "What are you standing there for? Apologize to CEO Su at once!"
"Wait." Su Hua's lips curved slightly as she narrowed her eyes at Lin Chang. "You said you've severed ties with Lin Xuan?"
"Yes," Lin Chang nodded. "We signed the agreement under a lawyer's notarization."
"Very well, but that's not enough." Su Hua smiled lightly.
"I want you to announce to everyone across all platforms right now that you have no relationship with Lin Xuan."
Her Xuan was destined to shine. She wanted to prevent the Lin family from possibly using family ties to manipulate public opinion and capitalize on Xuan's successes in the future.
Furthermore, she wanted to completely sever Xuan's ties with the Lin family.

grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
