Why didn't you read Chapter 401?
If Xie Jin doesn't want to see her, then he won't; if he doesn't want to have any more contact with her, then they should meet less.
Hu Yuekai could barely maintain his smile and hurriedly said, "Xie Er's brain is a bit damaged from his injury last time, Sister Xiu, please sit down." He warmly invited Lin Xiu to sit next to him, then turned to look at Xie Jin on his left, and then at the woman next to him, before asking her to give up her seat.
The other party was also very perceptive, and was about to stand up before Hu Yuekai could speak.
Unexpectedly, Lin Xiu raised her hand.
“I’ll sit next to Li Tianhao!” she said, pointing to Li Tianhao on her right.
Hu Yuekai's eyes lit up, and he immediately agreed: "Okay, why don't you let Sister Xiu and Li Tianhao sit down?"
Upon seeing this, the person who was originally sitting on the right also smiled and gave up two seats without the slightest reluctance.
What a joke! There used to be five skies over the mirage: Liu, Xie, Wang, Xiang, and Yan.
Now that Yan's domain has been taken over by Lin, who dares to disrespect him?
So the group not only gave up their seats, but also introduced themselves with smiles and started chatting.
With the awkwardness resolved, Hu Yuekai breathed a sigh of relief, sat back down, and nudged Xie Jin with his elbow, giving Shen Jiayan a look. He finally understood why Xie Jin was acting strangely.
The private room became lively again, and Li Tianhao was stopped when he tried to pour wine for Lin Xiu.
Lin Xiuguan and Xie Jin didn't want to stay any longer; sitting for an hour was a courtesy to the birthday celebrant.
"I heard that Sister Xiu has achieved great success in Southeast Asia. Congratulations, Sister Xiu!" Hu Yuekai raised his glass in congratulations.
"Hehe." Lin Xiu chuckled and raised her glass to clink glasses.
"What are your plans next?" Hu Yuekai asked.
"Lie flat."
Lie flat?
Hu Yuekai was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand the meaning of those two words, but seeing Lin Xiu's lazy appearance, he felt that it was very appropriate.
Yes, after being busy for so long, it's time to take a break.
"I have plenty of fun things here. If Sister Xiu gets bored lying here, I, Hu Yuekai, am always ready to keep you company." Hu Yuekai cleared his throat and spoke off-key.
The other people in the private room watched this scene; some wanted to go up and chat, while others felt powerless to do so.
Tian Xin watched the two talking from afar, gripped her wine glass tightly, and took a deep breath.
If you don't succeed, you become an adult.
She walked through the crowd to the most prominent central seat and looked at Lin Xiu.
"What are you doing here?" Hu Yuekai asked curiously, crossing his legs, while the woman next to him tightened her grip on his arm.
Tian Xin forced a smile: "I'm Hu Shao, here to toast President Lin."
Respect her?
Lin Xiu raised an eyebrow and glanced at the woman beside Hu Yuekai. It seemed she wouldn't come here without a reason, but it was unlikely she would embarrass the birthday man today.
She only has one birthday a year, there's no need for her to upset Hu Yuekai on this day.
However, if Tian Xin doesn't point it out, there's still room for maneuver.
"It's been a long time since I've seen President Lin. I'd like to offer you a toast. I'll drink it all, please feel free to drink as you please." After saying that, Tian Xin drank her wine in one gulp, and then looked at Hu Yuekai: "Xin Xin also wishes Young Master Hu a happy birthday."
"Happiness." Hu Yuekai raised his glass, his heart softening slightly.
After all, she was a woman Lin Xiu had once doted on, and she had treated her with respect. She was only here to beg for a way to survive.
"Go back, Nine Star Entertainment will not treat you unfairly."
"Thank you, Young Master Hu! Thank you, President Lin." Tian Xin responded excitedly, glanced gratefully at Lin Xiu, then glanced at the woman before turning and leaving.
"Young Master Hu~" the woman pouted.
"Shut up." Hu Yuekai snapped in a low voice, then looked at Lin Xiu: "What does Sister Xiu think of Tian Xin?"
Lin Xiu feigned ignorance: "What do you mean, 'however'? Do as you say."
Is he confused, yet unusually clear-headed?
Hu Yuekai's willingness to agree is probably because he has met Tian Xin before and thinks she is a good girl. He hopes things will go smoothly for her in the future.
Xie Jin watched the actions of the group, picked up a wine glass from the table, and muttered, "You're still so kind."
These words sounded like a soliloquy, and most people assumed they were talking about Hu Yuekai, even joking that the two were really good brothers. Only Hu Yuekai and Shen Jiayan knew that these words were actually directed at Lin Xiu.
Lin Xiu understood, but she didn't want to pay any attention to Xie Jin.
Having already offered the other party several ways out, Xie Jin didn't want to run into any more obstacles before she understood.
Unfortunately, Hu Yuekai and Shen Jiayan had to liven up the atmosphere. Fortunately, most people didn't notice anything unusual about the person in the main seat and excitedly started the party.
Then, a figure walked into the room.
The music and lights, which had just been turned on, suddenly stopped.
"Liu Linzhou, isn't he someone who never comes to these kinds of occasions?" Hu Yuekai murmured, but still got up to greet him.
"Mr. Liu."
Gu Ling, who was originally planning to leave, suddenly rushed over excitedly, her eyes glued to the viewer.
Wearing a burgundy shirt and black suit pants, his sharp, mixed-race features were softened. With his handsome face, he could attract the attention of the women in the room just by standing there, not to mention that he was Liu Linzhou, the head of a top-tier wealthy family.
"Sir, you are really..." Gu Ling was about to speak when Wang Defa stopped him.
"Sir, you're here for the birthday party. Also, Ms. Gu Ling, please come with me." He gestured for her to come, appearing calm on the surface, but he was actually on the verge of going crazy.
Mr. Lin was eager to see Miss Lin as soon as he got back, and even came to her birthday party, which he hadn't attended for several years.
And now, of all people, I've run into this clueless one.
"No need." Before Gu Ling could reply, the man's cold voice came. Liu Linzhou looked up at Gu Ling and, amidst the other's surprised gaze, said, "We're over."
He hasn't contacted her for a year. He's given her plenty of resources; doesn't she realize that?
After saying that, he lifted his long legs and walked to the center, completely ignoring Gu Ling's ashen face behind him, and handed over the gift in his hand: "Happy birthday."
"I thought you couldn't come." Hu Yuekai raised an eyebrow, took the things, and couldn't help but be surprised by the other person's attire.
I've never seen the other person wear something so flashy before, especially red.
The red color was so vibrant; I never thought I'd ever see it on Liu Linzhou.
Upon hearing this, the man chuckled lightly, glancing over Lin Xiu without leaving a trace, and then looked at Xie Jin, his attitude towards Xie Jin remaining unchanged.
Hu Yuekai greeted, "Thank you, please have a seat!"
"Mr. Liu, please have a seat here." Someone quickly offered him their seat.
Liu Linzhou didn't look at him, but went straight to Li Tianhao, casting a shadow. He said, "I want to sit here."
Li Tianhao's hair stood on end, and he practically jumped up from the sofa: "Please."
The situation changed in an instant. Wang Defa glanced at Gu Ling and asked him to leave, but he didn't expect that there was another person present.
Ying Xiaohan was glad she hadn't rushed forward. As long as Liu Linzhou wasn't paying attention and didn't treat her as coldly as he had treated Gu Ling, there was still a chance.
Gripping the wine glass tightly, she pondered a solution.
Lin Xiu turned her gaze away from Liu Linzhou.
I have to say, it's quite beautiful.
Especially when someone like Liu Linzhou wears red, it's impossible not to be captivated by it.
But when she tried to pull her eyes back, the person beside her chuckled softly, a dark glint in their eyes: "Why aren't you watching anymore?"
