Chapter 329: Chapter 353, Femme Fatale

As Lin Xueru spoke, the entire audience was shocked. Some knew that Lin Xueru had come from the Tianjing Lin Family, but they could not understand why she would stand on Fang Yi’s side. What sort of luck had Fang Yi encountered to make Lin Xueru come forward for him?

However, Fang YI remained vigilant. Because of little Lin Lin, Fang Yi had no good impression of the Tianjing Lin Family. Judging by the way Lin Fengxiao and others addressed Lin Xueru, she was likely the Lin Family’s daughter.

But why should she stand by his side when she didn’t know him at all?

When things are abnormal, there must be demons involved, and Fang Yi certainly did not believe this sultry mature woman would help him out of the kindness of her heart.

"Miss!" Lin Yuanhao suddenly stood up and looked at Lin Xueru, whose face was cold as frost, and said in a low voice, "Isn’t it too much for you to turn your elbow outwards like this?"

Lin Xueru said, "Hehe."

The next moment, the Monk suddenly moved, walking up to Lin Yuanhao. Ignoring the astonishment of the crowd, he immediately grabbed Lin Yuanhao’s collar, lifted him high into the air, and Lin Fengxiao wanted to stop him but with Lin Xueru there, the family’s daughter, he could not defy her.

Lin Yuanhao was thrown in front of Lin Xueru, even more in a sorry state.

"I do not know your name, but I do know that you do not deserve to be a part of my Lin Family. From now on, the position of the Family Head of Moon City Lin Family should be held by someone else," said Lin Xueru indifferently.

Lin Yuanhao, lying on the ground in utter disarray, looked ashen, as if all the strength had been drawn out of his body.

The same was true for Lin Fengxiao and the others.

In the Lin Family, Lin Mengyan was a daughter. If anyone had the hope to take the seat of the Family Head, naturally it should be Lin Yuanhao, but that also required the approval of the main branch of the Lin Family.

Yet as the daugther of the Lin Family, Lin Xueru, she uttered such words - it was as good as pronouncing a death sentence for Lin Yuanhao.

Below the stage, whispers continued nonstop. Young people from the other three major families were all doing their calculations. This was a huge piece of news for them, much more interesting than attending what had become a farcical engagement ceremony.

Lin Yuanhao stopped struggling. Lin Xueru’s words had sealed his fate. The position of the Family Head of the Lin Family would no longer have anything to do with him. And as for who had the greatest chance of obtaining it, it was clear that no matter how much he struggled and made noise, it would be useless.

One misstep causes eternal regret; Lin Yuanhao had planned to humiliate Fang Yi thoroughly, to trample over him once and for all. All plans had been calculated perfectly, but the result turned out like this. It was only too bad that Lin Yuanhao himself was so unlucky.

Lin Xueru paid no more heed to the disheveled Lin Yuanhao. She turned to the hostess, who was already dumbfounded, and said, "Let everyone leave."

It had become a farce, and continuing the commotion wouldn’t change the outcome.

At the hostess’s announcement, many guests left one after another, but they did not feel it was a wasted trip. Having witnessed such a scene today was worth it.

As many guests departed, Lin Tianxiao showed up with Lin Mengyan. In fact, he had already seen the scene earlier. Now, seeing the daughter from the main house, Lin Tianxiao’s heart was filled with caution.

"Head of the Lin Family," said Lin Xueru in acknowledgment.

"Miss," Lin Tianxiao responded respectfully.

"I suppose you heard what I said just now," Lin Xueru continued, her gaze sweeping over Lin Mengyan and revealing a hint of a smile. "I actually think Mengyan is not bad."

Lin Tianxiao replied, without a trace of emotion, "Thank you for the compliment, Miss."

Suddenly, Lin Xueru let out a sigh, "Originally, I was here to attend a grand event on behalf of the main house, but I didn’t expect it to turn out like this, alas, truly a downer."

Lin Tianxiao looked at Lin Xueru with a complex expression and said, "How about... Miss stays in Moon City for a few more days, and I will have Mengyan entertain you well."

Lin Xueru did not refuse, saying, "Sure, that would be a trouble for Mengyan." With that, she waved her hand.

Lin Tianxiao withdrew, and even though he was the Family Head of the Lin Family, he was only the head of a branch family. In terms of status and identity, naturally, he was far from comparable to this lady who had come from the main family.

Lin Xueru suddenly turned around, walked up to Zhou Hongkang, and said, "To push your own daughter into a pit of fire clearly shows you want to sell her for a good price. Name your price then."

Zhou Hongkang was acutely aware of Lin Xueru’s extraordinary background and quickly said, "Fifty million, fifty million will do."

Lin Xueru replied indifferently, "Fifty million is too little, let’s make it one billion."

The so-called true elite, the true prodigal, was fully embodied in Lin Xueru’s actions, one billion, a sum that could be thrown out without even blinking an eye.

Lin Xueru gave the Monk a look, and the Monk took out a bank card from his pocket, put it into Zhou Hongkang’s coat pocket, patted his shoulder, and then sneered, "Get lost."

Without the slightest bit of reluctance towards his daughter, Zhou Hongkang ran off, even with a faint look of joy on his face. Seeing this scene, Zhou Peilan’s expression turned somber, and then she felt someone tighten their hold around her waist.

Looking up, Zhou Peilan only saw a smiling face, and her mood subconsciously lightened. Didn’t she still have this guy beside her? With this thought, Zhou Peilan felt reassured; at least she was not alone.

Giving Zhou Peilan a comforting smile, Fang Yi turned his head to look at Lin Xueru approaching him.

"How should I address you?" Lin Xueru smiled enchantingly.

But Fang Yi had resisted even Su Ge’er’s Bewitching Technique, so now, his heart was as still as water, and with a superficial smile, he said, "Fang Yi."

"I am Lin Xueru; I suppose you can guess my identity," Lin Xueru said.

"The young miss of the Tianjing Lin Family," Fang Yi said.

"Hehe, then guess why I would step in to help you," Lin Xueru added.

"When something is abnormal, there must be a demon involved. Young Miss, let’s not beat around the bush; please speak frankly," Fang Yi said. After all, they were strangers, yet she had stepped in to help. Lin Xueru was clearly no philanthropist.

"I quite like your straightforward character, so I will just say it," Lin Xueru pointed at Zhou Peilan and said, "I want her."

Zhou Peilan’s face paled in shock, and Fang Yi’s expression turned slightly grave as he asked, "Miss Lin, what do you mean by this?"

Lin Xueru chuckled and said, "Nothing much. I just spent a billion to buy her from her father, so naturally, she is mine."

Fang Yi’s voice turned cold, "Miss Lin, she is not an object."

Lin Xueru said, "Are you angry? There is still room for negotiation. How about this, come to my room at the Regent Hotel tonight. I want to discuss something with you. If we reach an agreement, all will be well, but if we don’t..."

Fang Yi said coldly, "When and at what time, and the room number."

Lin Xueru smiled seductively, stated the time and the room number, then gracefully turned around, her back facing Fang Yi as she said, "I’ll be waiting for you. Don’t be late."

Fang Yi replied indifferently, "I will be on time."

Only then did Lin Xueru leave gracefully. Fang Yi’s eyes reflected a hint of gravity. This Lin Xueru was indeed a viperous beauty, her scheming and depth far more fearsome than the women Fang Yi had encountered before.

In their recent conversation, the viperous beauty’s intentions were elusive and required cautious handling.

Just as Fang Yi was deep in thought, a gentle voice arose next to him: "Fang Yi."

"Hmm?"

Fang Yi turned his head, gave Zhou Peilan a slight smile, and said, "Let’s go."
