Yin Lianxin slowly looked up, her cold gaze landing on him. Although Yin Lianxin was old now, her skin was still youthful, and her figure had not changed much.
On the other hand, although Ai Sumei looked a little similar to Yin Lianxin, she had aged a lot. The wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were very deep, and the skin on her face was loose. She had also become fat. In the past, she was not as beautiful as Yin Lianxin, but now, the difference between them was like heaven and earth. Moreover, her eyebrows were filled with shrewishness and scheming.
Yin Lianxin was wearing a wine-red cheongsam. Her aura was fully released, and she exuded confidence and dignity. If one did not know better, they would think that she was only 40 years old. After all, time had never failed beauties. She stood there quietly without saying a word, but everyone was inexplicably attracted to her.
Xia Cheng met Yin Lianxin’s cold gaze, and his heart skipped a beat. He gritted his teeth unwillingly. He had lived under Yin Lianxin’s shadow his entire life. Now, he had to surpass Yin Lianxin and shatter her pride. He had to let her see how powerful the man she once looked down on was.
He looked at Yin Lianxin hatefully and snorted. “Xi Xi, you must be jealous that Mengyan is holding a apprenticeship banquet in Yingyun Hall, so you got the Yin family to support you. You deliberately made me misunderstand and embarrass us in public, right?”
Qiao Xi glanced at him. Before she could speak, Yin Jingting said in a teasing tone, “Huh? Does your Xia family own Yingyun Hall? Can’t our Yin family come?
“Also, let me remind you that today is my younger brother’s birthday. Our family is gathered here to celebrate his birthday.” Yin Jingting paused for a moment, his eyes filled with mockery. “Jinglin and Xia Mengyan are both your grandchildren, but you don’t remember his birthday at all. You’re holding a groundless apprenticeship banquet for Xia Mengyan with great fanfare. Do we need your permission to hold a birthday banquet for a member of our Yin family?”
There was silence—dead silence.
Xia Cheng was so angry that his beard trembled and his chest felt tight. He could not breathe, and his face turned red.
Only then did everyone understand that today was Yin Jinglin’s birthday. Yin Jinglin was Xia Cheng’s biological grandson. Not only did Xia Cheng forget his grandson’s birthday, but he also said that the reason the Yin family could enter Yingyun Hall was only because of Xia Mengyan.
How shameless!
After knowing the truth, the guests could not stand it anymore.
Everyone looked at him with ridicule and disdain. Xia Cheng was so annoyed that he was about to explode.
Li City was so big. If the Yin family wanted to hold a birthday party, why did they choose Yingyun Hall? Weren’t they deliberately making him look bad? He retorted indignantly, “Everyone knows that you have to make a reservation four days in advance for a meal in Yingyun Hall, but after I made a reservation that day, the employees of Yingyun Hall got off work. I clearly saw that the Yin family wasn’t on the list at all! You didn’t make a reservation, so how did you enter Yingyun Hall? Are you still going to say that you didn’t enter because of your connection to the Xia family?”
All the guests were also puzzled. Everyone knew that Yingyun Hall valued rules the most. Without an appointment, no matter how noble one’s identity was, it was impossible for them to let anyone in. Then how did the Yin family enter? Could it be that it was really because of Xia Mengyan?
Just as everyone was thinking about it, Yin Jingting suddenly sneered. He was tall and had a cold face. The smile on his lips was filled with disdain.
“Old Master Xia, outsiders need to make an appointment to enter Yingyun Hall but the owners of Yingyun Hall don’t have to abide by this rule.”
Boom!!!
Yin Jingting’s words were like a huge rock that smashed heavily into everyone’s hearts. The spacious and gorgeous hall was silent, and the sound of breathing seemed to have stopped.
Was… the Yin family the owners of Yingyun Hall?
Old Madam Xia did not understand what he meant for a moment. Seeing Yin Jingting’s arrogant look, she instantly shouted sharply, “Why are you talking to your grandfather like this? No matter what you’re doing here, you can’t ruin Mengyan’s apprenticeship banquet. All of you—”
“Since Old Madam Xia’s ears aren’t too good, I can repeat myself.” Yin Jingting interrupted her indifferently, then raised his voice and announced domineeringly, “Because we’re the owners of Yingyun Hall, we don’t have to make an appointment. Do you understand?”
Old Madam Xia’s mouth was wide open in shock, and her eyes were filled with disbelief. Xia Cheng seemed to have lost the ability to think and stood rooted to the ground in a daze.
Seeing that everyone was dumbfounded, Yin Jingting even explained casually, “Yingyun Hall was established by my grandmother, Madam Yin Lianxin, a few years ago. Our Yin family has always been hospitable and particular about etiquette. Although we have a grudge against the Xia family, we welcomed you to come here to spend your money. However, if you continue to pester us and bully my sister, we’ll ask you to leave!”
