Chapter 387 - 387 387 Accident

387: Chapter 387: Accident 387: Chapter 387: Accident Everywhere there were noblewomen and young ladies in elegant dresses laughing and chatting, along with gentlemen engaging in conversations with one another.

However, the entire banquet was still in a state of disarray, clearly indicating that it hadn’t started yet.

Lin Zinuo breathed a sigh of relief and said, “We finally made it, thankfully we’re not late.”

“Yeah.”

Su Mo looked at his phone for a moment, it was about time.

Gurgle~

At that moment, a very out-of-place sound echoed.

Su Mo instinctively glanced at Lin Zinuo, who swallowed hard and, clutching his stomach, looked pitifully at Su Mo.

“I’ve been busy all day, and I haven’t eaten yet.”

Su Mo also felt like laughing, but he held it back and whispered, “The banquet hasn’t started yet, can you hold on for a bit longer?”

“Just a little bit?”

Lin Zinuo asked pitifully.

“Alright.”

Su Mo thought for a moment and responded, probably a little bit wouldn’t hurt.

Hearing Su Mo’s words, Lin Zinuo’s eyes immediately lit up, and he pulled Su Mo toward the delicacies.

“Let’s go, go…..”

“Wow, so much delicious food, let’s try some giant Emperor crab legs, and some caviar…”

Lin Zinuo started eating without any reservations.

At such a high-level banquet, all the ingredients were top-notch and specially supplied, free from any radiation contamination.

Plus, all were prepared by top chefs, and the taste was quite impressive.

Furthermore, since Lin Zinuo was truly starving, once he started eating, he was unstoppable like a dam bursting open.

“Cough cough, that’s about enough.”

Su Mo watched Lin Zinuo continuously eating, finishing one and grabbing another.

“The pastries over there are quite delicious.”

“This is also quite nice.”

“Cough cough, really, that’s enough.”

“I’m almost starving to death, why not eat when it’s free?”

Lin Zinuo showed no signs of awareness.

“If you keep eating, your stomach will bloat, and your dress won’t hold.”

Su Mo was helpless and could only keep reminding her.

Lin Zinuo shot Su Mo a glance, then handed him the plate instead.

“I’m so thin, eating this little bit, it’s impossible for the dress to burst.

You eat some too, nobody here knows us anyway, everyone is too busy chatting to pay attention to us.”

Su Mo originally wanted to refuse, but couldn’t deny he was also hungry.

So, he boldly took the plate and started stuffing it with pieces of succulent roast lamb.

Why deprive oneself when it’s all free?

The two of them enjoyed themselves immensely since they hadn’t eaten all day.

At that moment, the people waiting at the banquet were also growing impatient, and the volume of conversations around the room was increasing.

“What’s the situation, hasn’t it reached the time to start the banquet, why hasn’t it begun yet?”

“I don’t know, maybe some important person hasn’t arrived yet?”

“Who would that be with such an important face,”

“Not sure, let’s just wait a bit longer.”

….

At the entrance of the main venue, Cao Wen looked at the time and his eyebrows knitted tighter, as almost all the guests had arrived and no one else was coming.

“What’s the situation, why isn’t everyone here yet?”

“I’ll contact Xiao Li now and also check the guest entries.”

Cao Yuan responded respectfully on the side.

Cao Yun asked curiously, “Father, could it be that the other party has decided to turn back at the last minute?

Maybe they aren’t willing to talk about the demolition anymore?

After all, the compensation we’ve offered is indeed quite low.”

“That’s not possible, the other party would have definitely informed us if they decided not to come.”

Cao Wen responded, his eyebrows still tightly furrowed, believing in his judgment.

It wasn’t long before Cao Yuan hurriedly came over and said quietly to Cao Wen, “I just contacted Xiao Li; his car had a minor accident on the road.

Mr.

Su Mo and his companion got off the car and walked over, I’ve checked the entry records, they’ve already arrived, sorry, this was my oversight.”

“I see, let’s head back to the banquet hall.”

Upon hearing this, Cao Wen’s brows slightly relaxed.

Regardless of the situation, all was well since they had arrived.

…..

Back in the banquet hall, Su Mo, who was thoroughly enjoying the delicacies,

suddenly felt a tug from Lin Zinuo, who anxiously pulled him toward a corner.

“Let’s go, let’s go…”

“Why, I’ve just picked up a piece.”

Su Mo asked, looking bewildered.

“Quick, hide for a bit.”

Lin Zinuo said somewhat anxiously.

Su Mo followed Lin Zinuo’s gaze and saw, not far off, a middle-aged couple dressed decently walking their way, accompanied by a pretty, long-haired woman in a red low-cut evening dress.

“Who are they?”

“That’s my aunt Lin Yu and uncle Zhou Cheng, and my cousin Zhou Qian.”

“What a coincidence, shouldn’t we go up and say hello?”

“Say hello?

Just stay away from them.”

Lin Zinuo quickly pulled Su Mo into a corner to hide.

“What’s there to be afraid of, it’s not like we’re doing anything shameful.”

Su Mo felt completely puzzled as well.

“You don’t know, they can be so annoying…

If they saw me here, dressed like this, God knows what they would say.

It’s unbelievable, how could they be here?”

Lin Zinuo was extremely frustrated too.

Su Mo was about to say something when his peripheral vision unintentionally caught a glimpse of two familiar figures to the right.

His nerves tensed instinctively, and he quickly pulled Lin Zinuo behind the cake table.

“What’s with you?

Why such a strong reaction?”

Lin Zinuo was also stunned.

Su Mo’s reaction was a bit too strong.

“Shh, it’s your dad and your mom.”

Su Mo said with a grim face.

He couldn’t believe his luck, running into Lin Zinuo’s parents.

Plus, he felt like he was caught doing something bad.

Lin Zinuo sneaked a peek, his eyes widened, and he quickly lowered his head, nervously saying,

“God, we’re doomed, totally doomed…”

“Calm down, we’ll just hide here.

They shouldn’t be able to find us.”

Su Mo quickly calmed down and started to reassure Lin Zinuo.

At that moment, Lin He and Lin Wei walked toward Zhou Cheng.

“Sister, brother-in-law.”

Lin He greeted with a smile.

“Sister, long time no see, Zhou Qian, say hello to your aunt and uncle.”

“Auntie, uncle, hello.”

Zhou Qian greeted with a smile.

“It really has been a while, Zhou Qian is getting more and more beautiful.”

Lin He said, complimenting her.

“A daughter’s beauty is natural, but that’s not everything.

Appearance is God-given.

Mostly, it’s about nurturing the child’s inner qualities, temperament, and way of thinking.”

Zhou Cheng spoke proudly, praising his daughter.

“That’s true.”

Lin Wei didn’t think much of it and nodded in agreement.

“Let me tell you, my daughter has recently succeeded in getting a position at the planning institute, and she also has many colleagues pursuing her,”

Lin Yu said boastfully to Lin He.

“That’s great news.”

“It is good, but it’s a pity Zhou Qian is too picky.

Ordinary guys just don’t catch her eye.

That’s why I thought of bringing her to this high-end banquet, maybe she could make some new friends.

Speaking of which, where’s your Lin Zinuo?”

“Her?”

Lin He was momentarily at a loss for words.

“I heard your Zinuo has also started dating someone, with someone surnamed Su, right?

But I heard from others that he barely finished elementary school, is that true?”

Lin Yu said, gossiping avidly.

Lin Wei’s face darkened upon hearing this.

Good news never goes beyond the gate, while bad news spreads far and wide.

“I’m telling you, aunt, if that’s true, you should really talk to your sister.

Isn’t that like jumping into a pit of fire?”

Zhou Qian added, her eyes gleaming with a hint of pride.

Ever since childhood, Lin Zinuo had outdone her in everything.

She couldn’t believe Lin Zinuo was now the center of such a scandal.

Lin Zinuo, hiding behind the cake table, gritted his teeth in anger as he listened to Lin Yu and the others.

Su Mo, however, didn’t care at all about what others said about him; instead, he found it interesting.

Lin Wei said with a steely face, “The child has grown up.

She will handle her affairs on her own.

I don’t want to interfere anymore, nor can I.”

It must be said that Lin Wei’s restraint was commendable, though he was strongly opposed to the relationship between Lin Zinuo and Su Mo.

But he did not criticize Su Mo in front of others, he just wanted to change the subject.

Unfortunately, Zhou Cheng and Lin Yu had no intention of letting it go.

With a tone of concern, they said, “Let me tell you, you can’t be laissez-faire about this.

Lin Zinuo has been too naive since she was a child.

You can’t just let her be deceived by a scoundrel.

What if they end up married?

You’ve got to separate them quickly.

If you can’t find a suitable partner, I can introduce some.

Zhou Qian has many top-quality classmates and friends, any of whom would be better than him.”
