312 The Feng Family

Ji Lingchen looked at his little wife. She was dressed too stunningly, and this made him very unhappy. So many men would get the chance to look at her!

“Xiaonuan, why don’t we go home?”

“Impossible. I even brought my knife!” Fang Xiaonuan replied.

“A blade? What for?”

!!
Fang Xiaonuan, “To eliminate your love rival!”

Ji Lingchen was speechless. “What love rival?”

Old Master Ji was bragging to Mr. Chen about how amazing his daughter-in-law was. “My daughter-in-law is the most beautiful girl in the school. Really! You know about Lingchen’s temper? He’s as obedient as a puppy when he’s around her!”

“Your second daughter-in-law is so powerful?” Mr. Chen did not believe it.

“I want to see what she looks like!” Mrs. Chen said.

A moment later, the couple entered the banquet hall, arm in arm.

Fang Xiaonuan looked left and right. “Hubby, stop hugging me. I’m looking for your love rival!” she said.

“Who is it?”

“I should be the one asking you!”

“Little fool.” Ji Lingchen suddenly realized something. “Did dad trick you?” He had been wondering why his wife had suddenly changed her mind about coming. Initially, she did not want to come at all.

Fang Xiaonuan thought. “Huh? Dad lied to me?”

“Dad wanted you to come, so he could show you off to his old friends. He told you that I have a love rival because he knew it would bother you,” Ji Lingchen replied.

“Why does he want to show me off?” Fang Xiaonuan was confused.

“Probably because you’re too beautiful!”

Fang Xiaonuan’s face reddened. How could her husband compliment her beauty in public?

Fang Xiaonuan’s parents had also arrived. The four of them chatted for a while before Ji Lingchen brought Fang Xiaonuan to greet Mr. Chen.

When Fang Xiaonuan saw the two elders from the Chen family, she greeted them obediently.

The two elders thought that Fang Xiaonuan was the sweetest and prettiest girl. They kept praising her.

Old Master Ji was so pleased with himself that his nose practically pointed skyward.

During the conversation, Fang Xiaonuan found out that Director Lin and Lin Rou were there as well. However, they should be hiding. They were probably afraid of getting scolded again.

After saying their goodbyes, Fang Xiaonuan followed Feng Qi to the washroom.

She had only taken a few steps when Feng Qi was suddenly called away by someone familiar. Fang Xiaonuan had not wanted to go to the washroom in the first place. Now that her husband was not with her, she took the opportunity to sneak into the banquet hall.

At first, she had been looking for her love rival. Now she was looking for her enemies. Sure enough, she saw Mr. Lin in the corner, who was talking leisurely. “What a coincidence, Mr. Lin.” She strode over and greeted him.

When Director Lin heard this familiar voice, he knew that something was wrong. When he turned, he saw Fang Xiaonuan’s smiling face. Mr. Lin’s heart was in his throat.

Fang Xiaonuan cleared her throat and said loudly, “Mr. Lin, you’re out of prison already? That day, I saw you being taken away by the captain of the Criminal Investigation Unit. I wanted to visit you in prison. What a coincidence that I’m seeing you again now that you’re out! Mr. Lin, tell me. Why were you arrested?”

The people around them turned to watch. Mr. And Mrs. Fang happened to be nearby. They saw their daughter and walked toward her.

Fang Xiaonuan continued, “The news said that Lin Corporation is going bankrupt and is facing a financial crisis. They also said that they’ve already discussed an acquisition. Is that true, Director Lin? Also, why did Tang Enterprise suddenly cancel their contract with you?”

The people who were chatting happily just now all subconsciously kept their distance from Director Lin when they heard this.

Director Lin noticed that everyone was avoiding him, and he was burning with anger. He had just explained to these people that Lin Corporation was fine, and that there was a high chance that they could work together. Now, Fang Xiaonuan had ruined everything!

Mr. Fang also realized that his daughter was speaking with Mr. Lin. He took his wife’s hand and said, “We’ll wait and see.”

Lin Rou had long since spotted Fang Xiaonuan. She was in the crowd behind her. These people might not know, but she was well aware that Fang Xiaonuan had something to do with her father’s arrest. She could not take this lying down. She also had not expected Fang Xiaonuan to start a fight with her father in public. A thought surfaced in her mind.

She sneaked up behind Fang Xiaonuan and suddenly rushed forward to give her a hard push. She even shouted, “Fang Xiaonuan, you’re courting death!”

She wanted to push Fang Xiaonuan into the arms of an old man in front of her. There were quite a number of reporters at the banquet. If the reporters were to take a picture of Ji Lingchen’s wife falling into the arms of an old man, Fang Xiaonuan’s reputation and the Ji family’s reputation would suffer. No matter what the truth was, if someone published this, it would definitely embarrass them!

Fang Xiaonuan was wearing high heels and was caught off guard. Her body fell forward. Seeing that there was a man in front of her, she twisted suddenly, taking the risk of hitting a table.

When Mr. Fang and Mrs. Fang saw this, they quickly ran over to protect their daughter. In the end, Fang Xiaonuan fell into her father’s arms, but her father’s waist hit the corner of the table.

Mr. Fang ignored the pain and asked, “My daughter, are you alright?”
