Miss Shen ran away after finishing her meal, which angered her short-lived uncle to the point of res

Chapter 270 She really doesn't know her own limitations.

Lin Xiaoyan knew that Shen Feiwan was doing it on purpose.

They deliberately say unpleasant things to provoke people and then wait to see what happens.

She really is... ignorant of her own limitations.

But seeing her smug little face, Lin Xiaoyan found it funny, and was amused by her.

Did she calculate that he wouldn't do anything to the Shen family?

She was being far too lenient with him.

Lin Xiaoyan looked at Shen Feiwan with an inscrutable expression.

Shen Feiwan felt his gaze on her, turned her eyes, and met his.

After a brief exchange of glances, Shen Feiwan slowly walked towards Secretary Number Three.

Lin Xiaoyan's attention was immediately drawn to Shen Feiwan's action, and his gaze followed her intently.

Because of the distance, he couldn't hear what Shen Feiwan was saying to Secretary Number Three at all. He could only see Shen Feiwan frowning as she talked to the other person, and frequently glancing at him and Zou Xinyi.

Zou Xinyi, from beginning to end, had her mind solely on Lin Xiaoyan.

Seeing that Lin Xiaoyan's eyes were fixed on Shen Feiwan, she couldn't help but gently tug at Lin Xiaoyan's sleeve and whisper, "Everyone is watching us, say something."

Lin Xiaoyan then withdrew his gaze, a faint smile appearing on his lips. "My parents both wanted another daughter, but unfortunately I'm their only son. I actually want a little sister too."

He paused briefly, then turned to Ye Wanjie, "How about we have my mother recognize you as her goddaughter another day? That way, we can introduce you as our younger sister to all the uncles and elders in a proper and respectable way."

Sister?! Upon hearing this, Ye Wanjie's face turned deathly pale. She was furious, furious that her son was so fixated on the Shen family's daughter! How could he not even give a second glance to the Zou family's daughter, who had such good prospects?

Zou Xinyi, who was already feeling uneasy, blushed immediately upon hearing the term "adopted sister".

This year is Lin's Heavy Industry's annual meeting, but the Zou family did not receive an invitation, which she knew.

Even so, she still shamelessly showed up uninvited.

She thought that Ye Wanjie liked her and valued her, so there was still a chance for her and Lin Xiaoyan.

But now it seems that her coming here today was nothing more than humiliating herself.

That Miss Shen was so beautiful, so beautiful that she felt ashamed of herself.

But is being pretty really such a plus? Is it just about looks when two families arrange a marriage?

She still wanted to try and win over Lin Xiaoyan again.

Zou Xinyi looked up at Lin Xiaoyan, her voice trembling slightly, "At least... at least leave me some dignity. You're making me feel very embarrassed. Even just pretending would be better than this."

“It’s not embarrassing,” Lin Xiaoyan smiled at Zou Xinyi, but there was no smile in his eyes. “I’ll accompany you to the banquet tonight. I’ll go with you to get whatever you want to eat.”

For the rest of the time, Lin Xiaoyan performed flawlessly.

He was so focused that he didn't look at his phone even once.

It wasn't until the dinner was almost over that his secretary came to call him, and he finally said, "Excuse me."

He abandoned Miss Shen to stay with her, giving her a respectable evening, but Zou Xinyi couldn't feel the man's sincerity at all.

She was unwilling to accept it. Aunt Ye clearly liked her so much, and her family background was so good.

Lin Xiaoyan left the banquet hall with his secretary.

Once they reached a less crowded area, the secretary spoke up, "Secretary Chen is leaving. I think it would be better if you saw him off personally."

Lin Xiaoyan hummed in agreement, then asked, "Where is she?"
