Chapter 116: The Terror of the Liu Family
Speaking of which, the Lin family clearly knew of Lin Weiwei’s existence, and even knew about the Shen family’s eldest daughter from Lin Weiwei’s mouth. But why didn’t the Liu family, whom they had always relied on, know about this matter?
This had to start from when the Lin couple had left Shen Xiaoxiao’s place. At that time, the couple had wanted to tell the Liu family about this matter at the first possible moment, but Lin Jiadong had suddenly stopped before he was about to leave. Not only that… He had also stopped w.a.n.g Lihua from being impulsive.
Actually, anyone who had relied on someone for more than ten years would only feel grateful at the beginning. But as time pa.s.sed, their hearts would naturally waver. How could they be as loyal and reliable as they had been for more than ten years? Even Liu Qianmin’s blood brothers had second thoughts, not to mention the Lin family who were separated by even more layers.
Therefore, at that time, the Lin family had only told Pei Li about the matter of the Shen family’s eldest daughter. As for the Liu family, they had not revealed anything at all.
Of course, whether Pei Li told the Liu family or not was not something they could decide. They only needed to do Pei Li a favor. As for how the Lin family would treat the Shen family’s orphan, that was not something they could control.
“Mrs. Liu, Miss Liu how are you?”
Shen Xiaoxiao greeted them with a smile. No matter what reason it was, Gu Yuehua and the rest could only smile in front of the hotel lobby.
“I didn’t expect that Mrs. Pei would invite Miss Liu to her birthday party. I wonder which family’s daughter Miss Liu is from? I’ve never seen her before.”
“I’ve never seen her before. That’s true. Based on Miss Liu’s status, not everyone’s daughter would be able to see her. I can understand that. After all, everyone has their own circle. Miss Liu’s circle… Aiya, look at my mouth. Miss Liu, please don’t mind. It’s getting late. I’ll be leaving first. Excuse me.”
Every single word Shen Xiaoxiao said pointed out Liu Yufei’s ident.i.ty. Liu Yufei gritted her teeth in anger. Liu Qianmin frowned as well. She was not a fool to mock his daughter like this. Who was this woman? How could she be so arrogant?
“Whose family is she from? How could she be so rude?”
“The girl I saw at Shen Jinwen’s was her.”
Liu Qianmin frowned even more when he heard Gu Yuehua’s words. What a coincidence? This doesn’t seem right, does it?
“What’s her name?”
“Lin Weiwei, didn’t I tell you before? I heard that she’s a returning overseas Chinese.”
“Lin Weiwei, Lin, Lin… it’s her?”
A name suddenly popped up in Liu Qianmin’s mind, almost giving him a fright. If it was really what he thought, there was a big problem.
“What’s wrong? Why do you look so pale?”
Gu Yuehua looked at Liu Qianmin’s shocked expression and her heart skipped a beat. She felt that something bad had happened. However, just as she asked this question, two people walked over. These two people were none other than the Lin couple.
When Liu Qianmin saw that the Lin couple had arrived, he did not have the time to answer Gu Yuehua’s question. He hurriedly took a step forward and asked when he saw Lin Jiadong, “That daughter of yours is back?”
When Lin Jiadong heard this question, he was shocked. Luckily, Young Master Pei had reminded him. He had almost forgotten that since he had invited Lin Weiwei over, the Liu family would find out sooner or later.
However, if they still pretended to be innocent, the Liu family would not be idiots. Especially Liu Qianmin, who was a scorpion. He could poison people to death without paying for it.
Furthermore, they had not received the full support of the Pei family. They could only rely on the Liu family to survive. Furthermore, although they had believed Lin Weiwei’s words earlier, they had still spent some money to investigate the situation overseas.
It was just as Lin Weiwei said. She had worked in that foreign factory for nearly ten years, but she didn’t know anything. The photos sent back from those factories ranged from big to small, so they naturally believed her. This Lin Weiwei definitely wouldn’t make a fortune overseas.
Since that was the case, they naturally had to use Lin Weiwei to curry favor with the Pei family.
Therefore, they were out to touch the Liu family. Fortunately, they had just caught up.
“Director Liu, I was just about to come over and tell you about this. My daughter, Lin Weiwei, has returned to China. Not only that, she also told us that the eldest daughter of the Shen family is currently studying abroad and will return to China after graduation.”
“What?”
“What?”
“What?”
Three exclamations sounded almost at the same time. Liu Qianmin, Gu Yuehua, and Liu Yufei, who was only 20 years old, were all shocked when they heard this news. Almost at the same time, they all ignored a question. When did the Lin family get this news?
“Is what you said true? How? How is it possible? All these years, we have gotten…”
Gu Yuehua had just said half a sentence when she was forcefully pulled by Liu Qianmin. Even though these people were once tied to the same rope as them, they had to be wary of others. Otherwise, they would not have continued to keep in contact with those people in private back then.
However, that girl from the Lin family had been sent away in the same batch, but there was no news from her all these years. What was going on? This was impossible!
“Is this really happening?”
“It’s true. This wretched girl looks very much like my late wife. At that time, I was suspicious and hurriedly asked someone to investigate. I didn’t expect that wretched girl to actually take the initiative to find me. This shocked the two of us greatly.
As soon as she left, we rushed over. I didn’t expect you guys to actually know.”
“Uncle Lin, that Lin Weiwei just left. She was showing off like she made a fortune.”
Liu Yufei didn’t stand on ceremony. Lin Jiadong was stunned by her words, but he knew the inside story. He said to them, “She didn’t make a fortune. Shen Jinwen brought her back. The bodyguard behind her was also arranged by Shen Jinwen.”
“Wait a minute. Qianmin, I told you before that I have seen Lin Weiwei at Shen Jinwen’s place. Does that mean that Shen Jinwen found that… found Xiaoxiao?”
“Yes, it’s possible. But that Lin Weiwei has just arrived. What is she doing here?”
Lin Jiadong subconsciously averted his eyes when he heard this. He would not be stupid enough to say that he was the one who gave her the invitation. In order to prevent them from venting their anger on them, Liu Qianmin hurriedly said, “Why don’t we go in and take a look? Didn’t you say that she’s already here? Let’s go.”
“Yes, let’s go in quickly.”
Lin Jiadong and w.a.n.g Lihua looked at each other. As soon as they entered the banquet hall, they quietly separated from the Liu family members. Tonight, they only needed to see Lin Weiwei and bring her in. Young Master Pei said that this was enough. They did not need to do anything else. It was better to take this opportunity to get to know more people.
Shen Xiaoxiao naturally did not know what the Liu family and the Lin family were planning. As soon as she entered the banquet hall and saw the scale of the event tonight, Shen Xiaoxiao knew that there would definitely be a lot of people coming tonight. Not only that, there might even be a good show.
“It seems that the Ouyang family values the Pei family very much. Ouyang Jingming, the third son of the Ouyang family, actually came in person. He treats his cousin very well.”
Shen Xiaoxiao looked at Ouyang Jingming, who was not far away. This son of the third son of the Ouyang family was not a good person. He was the same as Ouyang Yu, and his methods of playing with women were endless. It was just that Shen Xiaoxiao knew him. It was because Shen Xiaoxiao had accidentally b.u.mped into the affair between Ouyang Jingming and Ouyang Minyan.
Two people who were separated by a few rooms and had almost no blood relations.h.i.+p were mixed together. Actually, it was nothing much. However, both of them had the surname Ouyang, and they were both children of the Ouyang family. In the eyes of outsiders, this was considered an affair.
Back then, Ouyang Minyan did not agree to the divorce between her and Pei. This was a big part of the reason. However, it was even easier to break off the engagement now that she had something to use against her.
“Miss, that Young Master Pei is here…”
