All Are Members of the Lin Family

Lin Li's face instantly turned pale.

The Jiang family members all frowned.

"Lin Xuan and Lin Li must have known each other for a long time. What exactly is their relationship? Probably friends, right?" Jiang Yutong said with a frown.

Butler Wang walked over and sat down beside Lin Xuan.

"Young Master Lin, the show you arranged has begun," he remarked.

Lin Xuan frowned. "That man wasn't arranged by me."

"If not you, then who?" Butler Wang also furrowed his brows.

Lin Xuan replied indifferently, "Probably some righteous person who couldn’t stand Lin Li’s actions."

"Butler Wang, from now on, we don’t need to do anything. Just watch how this clown Lin Li jumps around and puts on his act," Lin Xuan said with a smirk, his eyes gleaming with amusement.

He loved toying with people.

Butler Wang chuckled in response. "Very well, Young Master Lin. I’ll wait and see."

"Oh, and one more thing, Young Master Lin," Butler Wang added. "You were right—Jiang Shuqin did come. She’s standing not far behind you."

"Hmm," Lin Xuan responded coolly.

He had expected this.

Jiang Shuqin doted on Lin Li so much that she would never miss the chance to seek the truth, fearing he might misunderstand Lin Li.

Lin Xuan glanced at Jiang Shuqin, who was still wearing a mask, from a distance.

Tsk.

Let her see for herself how her beloved son would betray her.

"Hah—"

The man sneered. "Seems like Lin Li has kept it well hidden."

"Do you all know that they are… brothers?"

Before the man could finish, Lin Li interrupted urgently, "Wait!"

Jiang Yutong stroked her chin.

Lin Li’s reaction seemed unusually agitated.

Could it be that Lin Li and Lin Xuan really had some connection?

They both shared the surname Lin—were they from the same family?

But that didn’t make sense.

If Lin Xuan were from the Lin family, why would the competition between Starlight Group and Skyveil Group be so fierce?

Even to the point where Starlight Group was crushed by Lin Xuan.

What exactly was going on?

Jiang Yutong couldn’t figure it out.

"Li'er, is something wrong?" Grandpa Jiang asked with a puzzled frown.

Lin Li suppressed his panic and forced composure. "Grandfather, the guests are waiting. I think we should move on to the next part of the event and not waste their time."

"As for this man—"

Lin Li’s icy gaze landed on the man who had just spoken. He knew exactly what the man was about to reveal.

He couldn’t let him succeed—otherwise, the Jiang family would grow suspicious of his identity.

If they investigated, the truth—that Lin Xuan was their real grandson and cousin—would come to light.

All his efforts over the past few months would be for nothing.

He had to get this man out of the banquet and silence him.

Leaving him here was too dangerous.

Jiang Yutong narrowed her eyes. "Lin Li, what do you think about him?"

Lin Li replied, "Second Cousin, I suspect he’s here to cause trouble and ruin our banquet. I think we should kick him out."

Without waiting for the Jiang family’s response, he raised his voice. "Security!"

Lin Xuan clicked his tongue in amusement.

This Lin Li really thought he could keep his secret hidden?

To cling to the Jiang family, Lin Li would stop at nothing.

The hotel security arrived quickly.

"Take him away," Lin Li ordered coldly.

"Yes, sir!"

The two guards grabbed the man’s arms, preparing to drag him out.

Lin Li smirked at the man.

Trying to expose him in front of everyone? Ridiculous!

Just as the man was about to be removed—

"Wait!" Jiang Yutong called out, stopping the guards.

"Miss Jiang, what are your orders?" the guards asked respectfully.

"Cousin, why don’t we hear what he has to say?" Jiang Yutong said, looking at Lin Li.

Lin Li took a deep breath. "Second Cousin, this will delay the guests. Besides, he probably has nothing useful to say. It’s better to just remove him."

Jiang Yutong smiled. "I don’t think the guests mind. Gossiping is in our nature as Chinese people. Cutting him off mid-sentence would just leave everyone frustrated."

She didn’t know what the man would reveal, but her instincts told her it was something Lin Li desperately wanted to hide.

And the more Lin Li resisted, the more she wanted to expose it.

This involved Lin Xuan—she couldn’t let it slip by.

She turned to the guests. "Do you all want to hear what he has to say?"

The crowd responded in unison, "Yes!"

Honestly, they were curious too. Was the Jiang family mistaken about Lin Li’s identity?

And Lin Li’s panicked expression suggested there was more to this.

Lin Li clenched his fists.

His mind buzzed with chaos.

Jiang Yutong again!

She had always looked down on him. Every time he visited the Jiang family, she barely acknowledged him.

And now she was ruining everything!

His thoughts raced—he needed a way out.

He had to get rid of this man before he spoke.

Jiang Yutong raised an eyebrow. "Well, cousin? What do you think?"

Lin Li dug his nails into his palm, forcing himself to stay calm. "Cousin, I still think we should—"

"Cousin," Jiang Yutong cut him off. "The guests don’t mind the delay. If you keep stopping him, I’ll have to wonder if you’re hiding something damaging."

Now, Lin Li was trapped.

If he kept resisting, the Jiang family would grow suspicious. But if he didn’t, his fake identity would be exposed.

He gritted his teeth.

He had no way out.

Lin Xuan sipped his wine, still watching the scene with amusement.

Lin Li noticed Lin Xuan.

His gaze darkened.

It had to be Lin Xuan’s doing!

This man must have been arranged by him!

Lin Xuan must have suspected his identity ever since the Jiang family announced this recognition banquet.

So he planted this man here to ruin everything.
