Without any warning, Lin Huayin did something that no one had expected or dared to imagine — she slammed the cake onto the ground. Her actions were clean and efficient, and her gaze was cold and sharp.
It was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop.
Everyone in the inner circle was dumbfounded and didn't know what was going on. Lin Huayin's move caught everyone off guard. It also made the celebrities who were close to the people involved feel uneasy. They wanted to leave the circle and run far away.
As the saying went, even an upright official couldn't settle a family matter, let alone a family matter of the Lin family. Even if they had the ability, they didn't have the guts.
One of the two people involved was Dong Bijun, the first lady of Yan Jin. The other was Lin Chaotian's eldest daughter, the only granddaughter of Lord Ye, and the most favored and blessed daughter of Yan Jin.
Both of them had the title of number one, but Lin Huayin's title of number one was not just a little more valuable. Wives could be changed, and it wasn't as if Lin Chaotian had never changed his wife before. But could one change a daughter? Could one change a daughter?
Shang Yao, who had always been arrogant, despotic, and insufferably arrogant, did not dare to be the slightest bit presumptuous in front of Lin Huayin. Just the word 'scram' was enough to make her leave with her tail between her legs.
What about Dong Bijun?
Maybe her only advantage over Lin Huayin was that her husband was Lin Huayin's father. She was Lin Huayin's elder, and Lin Huayin's stepmother.
If Lin Huayin didn't admit it, then it was up to her.
If Lin Huayin didn't admit it, then she could do whatever she wanted.
Everyone present understood this point. At this moment, most people were like Shang Yao. They knew that there would be a good show to watch tonight, an extremely explosive show!
Dong Bijun, who was at the peak of her life and enjoying her perfect life, didn't expect that Lin Huayin would suddenly attack her at this moment. And she didn't show any mercy to her stepmother at all.
Tonight was her fiftieth birthday. This birthday party was held in the name of her husband, Lin Chaotian. As a daughter, how dare she be so presumptuous? So — crazy?
However, she had no choice but to endure and suppress the anger in her heart. Just like how Xiao Zheng had tried to please and flatter her time and time again.
Now, the tables had finally turned and it was her turn to be coldly suppressed by Lin Huayin!
In that instant, Dong Bijun was extremely rich. But just a moment later, an even more gentle and gentle smile appeared on her face. She was as kind as Lin Huayin's biological mother. Her eyes were warm and her smile was sweet.
With an innocent look in her eyes, she said apologetically, "Huayin, it's Aunty's fault. I was so busy that I forgot you're allergic to walnuts. "
After a pause, she picked up the knife and fork again and said with a gentle smile, "This time, Auntie will help you cut a piece with more meat."
Beautiful!
Not far away, Shang Yao's lips curled into a playful smile. Many of the celebrities who heard Dong Bijun's explanation were also surprised by her quick reaction.
She was indeed the first lady of Yan Jin and the wife who had followed Lin Chaotian for more than twenty years. Just this calmness and composure alone was enough to make many successful men present blush with shame.
To be publicly humiliated and looked down upon, how many people present could do what Dong Bijun had done? What Dong Bijun said?
It was too difficult!
It was too exhausting and trampling on one's character!
A person's success, no matter if it was a man or a woman, still had to be outstanding!
Dong Bijun successfully cut the second piece of cake. Then, she presented it to Lin Huayin with a sincere attitude as if she was flattering her.
Everyone knew that not everyone had the right to eat this cake. Chang Yishan had it, the people standing in the inner circle had it, and so did Lin Huayin. But Xiao Zheng definitely didn't have it. Dong Bijun wasn't even interested in her gift, so why would she give him a piece of cake? Not even the base of the cake!
She was holding it in and she had to.
While cutting the cake, she tried her best to control her trembling arms. Ever since she entered Lin Chaotian's office and entered Lin Chaotian's lounge, she had become Lin Chaotian's wife. She had never been treated like this in the past twenty years. No one had dared to be so rude in front of her and slap her face. Even Lin Chaotian was considerate and took care of her.
But tonight, after more than 20 years of accumulation and hard work, she had finally displayed all of it tonight, held such a glorious birthday party, and enjoyed such a luxurious birthday party. However, it had been easily crushed by Lin Huayin in a casual manner.
Of course, in this world, only Lin Huayin had the right and ability to crush the day that she had painstakingly built for more than twenty years.
But she knew that at this moment, as Lin Chaotian's wife and Lin Huayin's stepmother, she couldn't lose her grace. She must not lose her poise. She must not let outsiders laugh at her. Even if Lin Huayin made things difficult for her and spoke ill of her, she had to maintain the gentleness and virtuousness that a wife and mother should have.
Hadn't she been doing this all these years?
So after Lin Huayin threw the first piece of cake, she found a way out for herself and gave Lin Huayin some leeway. She cut another piece of cake. A bigger and more delicious cake. She sent it gently and slowly to Lin Huayin.
As long as Lin Huayin was willing to take this cake. Everything just now could be regarded as a misunderstanding. The face that she had lost could also be picked up inch by inch. She had the ability of public relations and the ability to adapt. But the premise was that Lin Huayin was willing to take it.
So, would Lin Huayin take it?
Would she feel pity for Dong Bijun because of her compromise and take the cake?
Everyone looked at Lin Huayin. This included Shang Yao, who had been staring intently at the scene of the incident.
Unlike others, many people were still guessing and guessing. She slowly picked up the red wine glass and glanced at Dong Bijun with a gloating face.
What a silly woman.
If Lin Huayin could take the second piece of cake, would she throw the first one? She was your husband's biological daughter. Even if you didn't spend much time with Lin Huayin and don't know this elder daughter who was not related by blood, don't you know your husband?
The left side of your face had been slapped. Why should you continue to extend the right side? What about being abused?
Shang Yao didn't feel the slightest bit of empathy, even though she had been forcefully suppressed by Lin Huayin just now. She was disgraced and embarrassed. But at this moment, she was still watching the battle of the rich and powerful in public with a smile.
Wonderful. So wonderful.
It was a hundred times more wonderful than the undercurrent of the three sons of the Yan Family.
As Shang Yao expected, Lin Huayin didn't raise her hand to take it at all. The first time she took it was to throw it. Lin Huayin didn't like to repeat herself. So this time, she definitely wouldn't take it.
It was both reasonable and within his expectations.
Yes.
Dong Bijun's second piece of cake not only extended the right side of her face, but also put herself on a high platform that she couldn't get out of. A little carelessness and she would fall to pieces and lose all her face.
She froze on the spot. Even the flawless smile on her face was clearly a little loosened.
She didn't know how to continue. She was angry, but she didn't dare to let it out. Because she knew that if she did, it would only ruin her reputation. Because she still didn't know how Lin Chaotian would deal with her if she did something to Lin Huayin.
Would he help his current wife or his ex-wife's daughter?
She didn't know more about Lin Chaotian than anyone else present, even though they had been together for more than twenty years.
Just when Dong Bijun couldn't continue under Lin Huayin's cold but extremely aggressive and suffocating gaze, Chang Yishan, the prodigy of Yan Jin who had made a deal with her and basically formed an alliance with her, finally made a move.
She walked up slowly and took the cake from Dong Bijun's hand. She easily helped Dong Bijun out of the situation.
However.
He took the cake bluntly. Something had to be done, had to be said? Otherwise, wouldn't it be too abrupt and embarrassing for him to do so? He didn't even treat himself as an outsider.
Chang Yishan smiled and first nodded to Lin Huayin politely and modestly. He behaved calmly and elegantly. Then, he slightly tilted his head and looked at Xiao Zheng calmly. He said in an extremely relaxed tone, "Xiao Zheng, Miss Lin is throwing a tantrum. As a man, you shouldn't be indifferent, right? "
He didn't even give Xiao Zheng a chance to respond and seamlessly said, "It's not convenient for us outsiders to intervene. As one of us, shouldn't you say something? This is not the place to be angry or throw a tantrum. Right? "
