Chapter 84: Chapter 85: The Never-Ending Toast

The people around who heard Lv Wenguang’s words were all astonished.

What’s going on?

Isn’t the person invited by Lin Yue? Why is Lv Wenguang speaking in this tone?

Even Lin Yue himself didn’t understand, and in his urgency, he subconsciously said, "Mr. Lv, they don’t deserve to sit with you, their whole family is uneducated, and it would be bad if they offend you."

"What do you mean by that, Lin Yue?" As soon as he said this, Lin Siyuan couldn’t help but say, "Today is our family who is hosting the guests, I hope you think carefully before you speak."

"What, isn’t what I said the truth?" Originally, Lin Yue felt some regret after he spoke, but seeing Lin Siyuan’s expression, he remarked discontentedly, "What’s wrong with saying your family is uneducated?"

"Young man, you can’t say things like that," He Mingtong frowned and said, "Lin Hao is the student who ranked first on both the literary and martial arts exams this year and got admitted to Binhai University. Compared to everyone here, at their young age, they probably weren’t as impressive as him."

Lin Yue was at a loss for words, and he had nothing to respond with.

He stood there, stunned.

It was obvious that the former was speaking up for Lin Hao, and didn’t stand by Lin Yue’s side, even Lin Sidong and others felt something was off.

Were they really invited by Lin Yue?

At this moment, He Mingtong continued, "Moreover, you said Lin Hao doesn’t deserve to sit with us, that’s even more incorrect."

"Why... why not?" Lin Yue asked.

"Look, Lin Hao is the student who topped both the literary and martial arts exams and entered Binhai University, his parents are from my Lu County, so it’s normal for me to sit with them."

"Besides them..." He Mingtong glanced at Sun Yusheng and Yu Shilong who had already returned to their seats, chuckled and said, "Do you know who those people are?"

"You may not know, let me introduce them to you," He Mingtong said, "The one on the left is the Chairman of the Sun Group, Sun Yusheng, and next to him on the right is his wife."

"The elder on the left has an even greater background; he is the behind-the-scenes helmsman of the Binhai Yu Group, Yu Shilong, along with his capable disciple Yu Shibo, and his wife."

"These people, let alone in my small Lu County, even in Binhai, are renowned figures."

"Furthermore," He Mingtong directed towards the executives under Sun Yusheng, "and these are the well-known corporate executives of Lu County."

"Today, they are all guests of Lin Hao, so I ask you again, does Lin Hao deserve to sit with us?"

He Mingtong directly pointed out the identities of everyone present.

The Lin Sidong family was completely dumbfounded.

Their eyes filled with disbelief.

With the former’s indication, Lin Sidong finally realized why a few of them looked so familiar.

Those people, he had met them once!

In Lu County, they were absolute magnates, tycoons, far beyond what Lin Sidong could compare to.

Thinking of this, Lin Sidong couldn’t help but gasp.

They were not actors, but real magnates.

Why would they attend Lin Hao’s banquet?

Could it be... Lin Hao is really that successful?

Zhu Wuqiao was full of horror and disbelief, but they had to believe what He Mingtong said.

With his status, there was no need for him to deceive them for Lin Hao’s sake.

Lin Yue stood dumbfounded, his face pale: "So you mean, Mr. Lv and you knew they were coming today, that’s why you came here?"

"I didn’t know, honestly, I was just as surprised when I saw them," Lv Wenguang kindly smiled, "But our presence here, naturally, like them, is all because of Lin Hao."

Because of Lin Hao!

This statement couldn’t be more clear.

Our coming here wasn’t because you invited us, but genuinely because of Lin Hao!

Anyone could understand this implied meaning.

All around, whether it’s the senior executives of Lu County, or the common people of Qingyang Town, everyone was dumbfounded, even Lin Siyuan and his wife Zhou Zilan were quite surprised.

"Ha ha, Lin Hao is merely an acquaintance of ours, yet he helped us solve a major problem. His talent is indeed worth our visit," Lv Wenguang said upon seeing the shock of the crowd.

His words were half true, half false. The false part was about being mere acquaintances, but the true part was that Lin Hao helped them solve the intricate underground forces issues in Lu County, which indeed made their visit worthwhile.

However, he did not elaborate further.

But this was enough.

His brief statement, as if worth a thousand words, made everyone look at Lin Hao with eager eyes.

A hint of helplessness flashed through Lin Hao’s eyes.

Originally, he did not want to be so high-profile; the look he had given them earlier indeed exposed their relationship inadvertently.

However, clearly, Lv Wenguang and his companion had overinterpreted his gaze.

They thought he wanted to see how despicable the Lin Family could be and to show Lin Sidong’s family what true prowess was.

In fact, Lin Hao had never intended to do that.

First, because he was already well aware of the moral boundaries of Lin Sidong’s family.

Second, there was no pleasure in showing off before them, they were merely clowns in his perspective, unworthy of any attention; their antics would not affect him at all.

With He Mingtong stirring things up, the area immediately burst into discussions. The people who had been praising Lin Yue earlier suddenly switched to praising Lin Hao.

After identifying the people present, He Mingtong and Lv Wenguang did not say much more and made themselves comfortably seated at Lin Hao’s table.

Lin Hao glanced at Lin Sidong’s family, did not say anything, and took his seat.

Once they sat down, people immediately came over to offer toasts continuously, practically treating Lin Hao like a celebrity.

Yu Shilong glanced at Lin Yue and said to Yu Shibo next to him, "That guy has started, hasn’t he? Whether he is Lin Hao’s cousin or not, our Yu Group does not need such a disrespectful person."

Originally, Yu Shilong had wanted to give Lin Hao face and keep Lin Yue, but Lin Yue’s attitude towards Lin Siyuan completely disappointed him.

Disrespectful, arrogant, and self-righteous.

Such a person is not fit for the Yu Group.

"Alright," Yu Shibo answered without further questions.

...

Compared to the table full of guests with Lin Hao, Lin Yue’s family now had a much quieter table with just the four of them.

Even the people passing by didn’t spare them a glance.

In the eyes of everyone in Qingyang Town and Lu County’s senior executives, their image had fallen to the lowest.

The expressions of Lin Sidong’s family were complex as they sat in silence, the food tasting bland.

Logically, they should be the ones receiving toasts right now, but why had it become Lin Hao’s family?

Especially Lin Yue, full of youthful vigor, felt extremely resentful.

Looking at Lin Hao’s table, a hint of disgust appeared in his eyes.

"Brother, aren’t you working at the Yu Group? Haven’t you met the person behind the scenes of the Yu Group?" Lin Weiwei poked the dazed Lin Yue, "Is that guy really the leader?"

"I haven’t seen him," Lin Yue shook his head; he really hadn’t seen what Yu Shilong looked like, and there was no information about him online.

"Bro, don’t be disheartened, who knows if he’s the real Yu Shilong or a fake one, perhaps he’s just an imposter," Lin Weiwei consoled.

"Even if he’s an imposter, our family’s reputation has been completely lost today," reflecting on their actions, Lin Sidong bitterly smiled.

They had intended to earn some respect, but now, instead, they had lost all face.

Just then, Lin Yue’s phone rang. After he picked it up and hung up, his expression turned even more unsightly.

"What happened, whose call was it?" Lin Sidong had a bad feeling and asked.
