Free Web NovelChapter 571: Chapter 572: Only Then Did I Realize How Different the Lin Family Is_1
"What the hell is going on..." muttered Mother Lin, looking rather bewildered.
"Mother, it’s settled, don’t worry," reassured Lin Siqing.
Just coming over from behind, Mother Lin had already received a brief account from a servant.
She snorted angrily, "All those despicable people who were supposedly introducing potential matches to Yuying, bragged so much about them, and this is the kind of person they bring? How dare they tarnish the Lin Family’s name with their shameless fraud. This is a clear disregard for our family. I’ll make sure to find out who dared to introduce such a man to our Yuying."
Lin Siqing took a deep breath, turning his gaze towards Ye Ning, "Do us a favor, go take care of Yuying."
Ye Ning shrugged, "Alright."
She followed the servant inside. Everyone seemed to be focusing on this side of the gathering. That episode had attracted a lot of attention. They could make out the relationships of these people quite quickly, realizing that the Lin family had a friendly relationship with Ye Ning. Seeing Yuying in distress, Lin Siqing personally asked Ye Ning to accompany her.
What should have been a community feast came to such an abrupt conclusion.
Everyone was sighing in sympathy while Zhou Yi became infamous.
Whether they knew him before or not, suddenly, everyone knew Zhou Yi now.
Zhou Yi was far from happy. Wherever he went, people would bring up his story, "Oh, you’re Zhang Yi, the man who claimed to be engaged to Miss Lin, and got beaten for it."
Even some of the high-ranking elites who he couldn’t previously aspire to socialize with recognized him now. Unfortunately, he was far from pleased as they would immediately say, "You dared to offend the Lin family’s young miss? You got some nerve. Heard you got beaten up. You’re lucky that having Miss Lin hit you doesn’t count as a disgrace. If their family decides to beat someone, who could escape their wrath anyway?"
It was at this point Zhou Yi began to understand the influence wielded by the Lin family.
Such a minor incident stirred up such a massive fuss in the upper-class circles. These influential people have taken note of it as a significant incident which further underscored the Lin family’s exalted status.
...
Ye Ning left the Lin family’s residence while Gu Minzhi watched her from a distance, asking Gu Xingzhi, "How does she know the Lins?"
Gu Xingzhi replied, "How would I know."
Gu Minzhi felt even more unsettled.
For some reason, she just didn’t like Ye Ning.
When she first came back, she thought there would be no reason for a young lady from the presidential palace to be concerned with such a commoner. However, Ye Ning did give her a looming sense of threat.
...
The next day, at the company, Ye Ning first checks in with Gong Ye.
"Did you find the information I asked you to look into?" ƒreewebɳovel.com
"I’ve sent it to your email. But, this woman... "
"You’re talking about Yuan Ding? What about her?"
"She’s utterly shameless."
"What do you mean shameless..."
"She’s cheating with a rich businessman. But that guy is so damn ugly, I don’t know what she’s thinking. Maybe it’s true love. That aside, she’s slandering her own husband everywhere she goes and trying to recruit supporters. Si Wenyu is so naive for not realizing the true face of his wife sooner. He got conned out of every single penny he had and is now being criticized by her fans."
Ye Ning said, "Alright, forward me all the information."
