Chapter 315 Congratulations to President Lin on becoming a father!
Global Stars Charity Gala Dinner.
The scene was resplendent with gold and dazzling crystal chandeliers, exuding a luxurious style.
The event was attended by a large number of political and business figures, as well as celebrities and entertainment industry leaders. Business tycoons, political officials, and movie stars all gathered together.
Shen Feiwan walked among them arm in arm with Lin Xiaoyan. Her moon-white velvet dress accentuated her slender figure, and her diamond hair clips sparkled like stars under the lights.
Lin Xiaoyan's custom-made suit was impeccably tailored, and wherever the two went, greetings and scrutinizing glances intertwined.
"President Lin is newly married, he's truly the envy of everyone!"
"With Madam Lin's poise, she's a sight to behold just by standing here."
Since entering the venue, people have been constantly coming up to greet me.
Lin Xiaoyan would also take the initiative to lead Shen Feiwan to greet other elders or superiors.
Amid the praise, Shen Feiwan maintained a polite smile, her cheeks almost stiff from smiling so much.
Just as she was looking for a corner to rest for a while, a man and a woman suddenly walked towards her.
The man's suit was impeccably pressed and shiny, his gold watch gleaming on his wrist, and his smile revealed a hint of shrewdness. The woman beside him, however, was young, resembling some minor celebrity.
"Chief Engineer Lin, it's been a long time!" The man raised his glass with a fake smile, his gaze sweeping over Shen Feiwan's face. "It's a real pity I couldn't attend your wedding last time due to other commitments. This must be Mrs. Lin, she's truly stunning, a perfect match for you both, Chief Engineer Lin."
At this point, he abruptly changed the subject, deliberately lowering his voice but making sure everyone around could hear him, "However, I heard there were some minor incidents on the wedding day, but I hope they won't affect your relationship as husband and wife?"
The air seemed to freeze for a moment as the words left his lips.
Shen Feiwan raised an eyebrow slightly; this deliberately brought-up "little episode" clearly had a hidden meaning.
When she lowered her eyes, her eyelashes cast shadows under them, and anyone could tell he had ill intentions.
The person who would publicly expose Lin Xiaoyan's shortcomings in this setting is most likely a rival in the business world, someone who is trying to provoke him in various ways.
Shen Feiwan's lips curled slightly, a hint of interest appearing in her eyes, as she quietly waited to see Lin Xiaoyan's next reaction.
“Mr. Pi, you flatter me,” Lin Xiaoyan said with a smile, but his eyes were as cold as ice. “My wife and I have a very good relationship. As for the lady next to you, Mr. Pi, I don’t think I’ve seen her before. From a distance, I thought she was Mrs. Pi.”
The moment those words were spoken, the surrounding air seemed to freeze instantly.
The young woman brought by Boss Pi's expression changed drastically, and Boss Pi himself could no longer maintain his fake smile, a hint of annoyance flashing in his eyes.
Everyone understood that Lin Xiaoyan had publicly exposed his shameful act of bringing his mistress to the event, a slap in the face in such a high-profile setting.
Just as the atmosphere was becoming tense, a man in a silver suit stepped forward with a wine glass and a smile to defuse the situation, saying, "Gentlemen, don't get so caught up in the conversation that you neglect the wine. Today's sparkling wine was flown in from Asti, Italy."
He waved to the waiter, and the golden liquid in the glass on the tray gleamed enticingly. "This wine has light and delicate bubbles, a sweet taste on the palate, and a subtle honey aroma in the finish. It's perfect for ladies."
Suppressing his anger, Boss Pi picked up a glass from the wine tray and offered it to Shen Feiwan, "Sister-in-law, would you like to try some?"
Shen Feiwan's eyes were icy, she didn't even glance at her, and her tone was harsh, "I don't want to drink it, take it away."
These words caused an uproar among the crowd, who looked at each other in disbelief, not expecting her to be so disrespectful.
Lin Xiaoyan was also taken aback, then the corners of his lips unconsciously turned up. His little wife was indeed a rose with thorns.
Mr. Pi's hand, holding the wine glass, froze in mid-air, feeling both embarrassed and angry. However, he quickly put on a smile again. "What's wrong, sister-in-law? Do you think I don't have enough face? Today's drinks were carefully prepared by Mr. Liu from our wine association. Even if you don't give me face, you should at least give Mr. Liu face, right?"
Mr. Liu, the man who had just stepped in to help, was suddenly called out by name. He took the opportunity to continue the conversation, smiling and swirling the wine in his glass. "This wine is fermented at a low temperature in oak barrels, which preserves the fruit aroma to the maximum extent. It pairs perfectly with tonight's dessert. Mrs. Lin, why don't you give it a try?"
The president of the wine association has extensive connections in Beicheng and cannot be offended.
Lin Xiaoyan was a little worried that his thorny little rose might say something else, so he spoke up before she could.
He smiled and took the glass. "I'll drink. My wife is newly pregnant and shouldn't drink."
Having said that, he raised his glass to Boss Pi, the amber liquid swirling gently in it. Boss Pi's smile froze instantly, his face turning pale and then flushed.
Upon seeing this, General Manager Liu immediately raised his glass, beaming, "Congratulations! Chief Engineer Lin, this is double the joy! Your career will surely flourish, your family harmonious and happy. I wish the little one peace and joy, and that he will be exceptionally intelligent in the future!"
Upon hearing this, the surrounding guests raised their glasses in agreement, and congratulations echoed throughout the room.
Lin Xiaoyan held a wine glass, smiling broadly as he clinked glasses with everyone, his eyes brimming with undisguised joy.
Shen Feiwan smiled faintly along with him, but she was quite surprised. She hadn't expected Lin Xiaoyan to be so looking forward to this child. The child had been successfully registered, but judging from the current situation, it might be difficult to cancel the registration later.
Meanwhile, the weather turned bad; a torrential downpour caused Bo Junxing and Song Yanzhou to get stuck in traffic.
After finally arriving at the venue, even with an umbrella, my suit jacket still got soaked by the rain when I got out of the car.
The waiter led them to the lounge. In the narrow corridor, three elegantly dressed ladies walked side by side, chatting animatedly, completely unaware of the people behind them.
Bo Junxing and Song Yanzhou slowed their pace and had to follow behind at a leisurely pace.
"You know, someone actually brought their mistress to this kind of event. They really don't respect us wives!" The curly-haired woman at the front said angrily.
"You mean the one surnamed Pi? He got slapped in the face by Lin Xiaoyan and his wife, didn't he?" The short-haired woman in the middle chuckled.
"What slap in the face? Tell me in detail! I was on the phone and didn't even notice!" The last woman, wearing a pearl earring, stepped forward, her face full of curiosity.
The curly-haired woman lowered her voice, "He and the Lin family have never gotten along. Wasn't there a handsome guy who tried to steal Lin Xiaoyan's bride at his wedding? It was all over the news in the industry! That guy surnamed Pi wanted to use that to cause trouble, but Lin Xiaoyan didn't give him any face at all and directly exposed that he had a mistress. He even said that from a distance, she thought it was his wife!"
"Then things got even more exciting!" the short-haired woman exclaimed excitedly. "That guy surnamed Pi wasn't satisfied and insisted on persuading Mrs. Lin to drink, but Mrs. Lin coldly refused and told him to 'take it away'! Then that guy surnamed Pi dragged Mr. Liu from the Wine Industry Association into the picture, and then..." She deliberately left her breath, "Lin Xiaoyan announced in public that his wife was pregnant!"
The woman with the pearl earring exclaimed, "Isn't this just rubbing salt into someone's wound? Everyone knows that Mr. Pi can't have children. His wife always complains to me in private that he's impotent."
"Absolutely! He's incompetent yet loves to mess around. Every time he goes out, he introduces young models to my husband. It really makes me furious. That's why I felt so relieved just now. Everyone was congratulating Chief Engineer Lin, except for the guy surnamed Pi, whose face was as black as Bao Gong's! You have to say, young people are amazing. Lin Xiaoyan is going to be a father so soon. When my husband and I got married, he was over forty, and we only had a child through IVF."
"You're doing well, IVF is great, you got twins right away, one step at a time. But I heard Mrs. Lin is only half a month pregnant, she just found out, it's too early to say anything now."
"Yes, we usually don't talk about it until it's been less than three months, it's a taboo! Chief Engineer Lin must be too happy."
No sooner had they finished speaking than the women's lounge arrived, and the three of them pushed open the door and entered.
In the corridor, Bo Junxing's body suddenly tensed up.
