Chapter 281: Chapter 281: When you’re throwing a banquet, make sure to invite me.

Away from the main hall, in the corridor leading to the private rooms, Mrs. Lin finally said to Lin Jingshen, "What was the name of that girl just now?"

"Lu Youxi," Lin Jingshen uttered indifferently.

Mrs. Lin snorted, "I didn’t expect it, for a country girl, her parents did choose a pretty name for her."

"Such a waste, though," Mr. Lin shook his head, "despite being a student at Jing University, to think she married so early, and to a good-for-nothing husband from the village no less. Otherwise, even coming from a rural background, graduating from Jing University and finding a good job, she could have found someone much better."

Lin Jingshen’s lips pressed tighter.

He couldn’t understand why Lu Youxi was so devoted to her village husband.

"Enough about irrelevant people," Mrs. Lin was not interested in how Lu Youxi was doing. The mention was only in passing, "You better make a good impression tonight. Jiangchen Construction has decent strength in Hua Country, and they’re well-matched with our family. And Jiang Zilin is quite beautiful, I’ve shown you her photo. The person mom and dad introduce to you will definitely not let you down."

Mr. Lin said solemnly, "Truth be told, I don’t trust your older brothers to take over the company in the future, their abilities are mediocre. If you were to succeed with Jiang Zilin, and our Lin Family forms an alliance with Jiangchen Construction through marriage, our development in Hua Country is sure to take a big leap forward. By then, passing Lin’s to you would be the obvious choice."

Lin Jingshen’s expression became serious, and hearing Mr. Lin talk about entrusting Lin’s to him, Lin Jingshen couldn’t help but light up.

Seeing Lin Jingshen’s revealing look, Mr. Lin couldn’t help but shake his head.

Well, Lin Jingshen is still young, he has plenty of opportunities to grow and temper himself.

With more experience and age, Lin Jingshen would grow more cunning and wouldn’t reveal his emotions like he does now.

His older brothers were truly disappointing, they were much older than Lin Jingshen.

And they have already been working in the company for a while.

Despite the constant sibling rivalry, after all these years, their capabilities remained limited.

Whether it’s their performance in the company or their strife, neither was particularly impressive.

At this point, only Lin Jingshen seemed promising.

He earned his place at Jing University through his own abilities and was smarter than his two brothers.

Mr. Lin had no choice but to pin all his hopes on Lin Jingshen.

Mrs. Lin couldn’t help but remind him, "Jiang Zilin is beautiful, way prettier than those so-called campus belles at your school. You should focus on her and build a good relationship."

Without having met, Mrs. Lin was already confident that Jiang Zilin would take a liking to Lin Jingshen.

Unable to help himself, Lin Jingshen asked Mrs. Lin, "Mom, between Jiang Zilin and Lu Youxi, who do you think is more attractive?"

Lu Youxi was married and posed no threat in Mrs. Lin’s eyes, so she spoke the truth, "In terms of appearance, Lu Youxi is indeed beautiful, but her temperament is too poor. Jiang Zilin, on the other hand, is pretty and has a good temperament too. Overall, isn’t she much better than Lu Youxi?"

Lin Jingshen remained silent.

It was Mrs. Lin who had said that Jiang Zilin was prettier than Jing University’s departmental and campus beauties, that’s why Lin Jingshen had asked.

Although Lu Youxi was currently just the departmental belle at Jing University, it was because she didn’t enjoy the spotlight and preferred not to show herself much at events.

After all, Jing University’s campus was huge.

Unless one deliberately made themselves visible, not everyone would recognize Lu Youxi.

But there was already talk within their department that Lu Youxi was much more beautiful than the widely acknowledged campus beauty.

So when Mrs. Lin stated that Jiang Zilin was prettier than the departmental and campus belles, Lin Jingshen was indeed a bit expectant.

Even though he had seen photos of Jiang Zilin, what if she were even more beautiful in person?

But now, hearing Mrs. Lin’s words, Lin Jingshen felt somewhat disappointed.

He couldn’t help but wonder if he would ever meet a girl who was more beautiful than Lu Youxi.

Mrs. Lin became vigilant and added, "Even if Lu Youxi is pretty, she’s already married. Don’t let your mind wander to inappropriate thoughts."

"What are you talking about," Lin Jingshen curled his lip, "I would never go after a married woman, no matter what. Do I have nothing better to do? There are so many girls chasing after me, I can’t even pick from them all."

Mrs. Lin smiled reassuringly, "I was just saying. As for those girls around you usually, their backgrounds are average, and they’re just after your good looks and wealth, hoping to climb up the social ladder. That sort of girl is looked down upon. It was okay for you to play around before, but keep your distance from now on, to avoid any unsavory rumors."

"Don’t worry, I’ve always been cautious, even in the past," Lin Jingshen confidently said, "Let the Jiang Family inquire all they want, my reputation at Jing University is very good."

He had the title of Jing University’s most handsome student, and it was normal for him to be a bit more popular with the ladies.

But he had always maintained his single status, never committing to any relationship, and was careful with ambiguities.

He wasn’t afraid of the Jiang Family secretly checking up on him.

Mr. Lin nodded, "That’s good."

It was fortunate that Lin Jingshen was sensible, knowing what to do and what not to do.

Just maintaining caution and not giving anyone leverage was already a step ahead of his two brothers.

After the Lin Family entered the private room.

Zhou Shuyan finally managed to send Shen Changze and Shi Yusheng off.

He even personally made sure they got into their car.

After getting into the car, Shen Changze rolled down the window and reminded Zhou Shuyan again, "Brother Yan, you promised to introduce your wife to us!"

Zhou Shuyan, looking exhausted, nodded, "For sure. When the time comes, you can ask her if she was here with me for dinner today."

To prevent the two from suspecting he was dining with a mistress.

Hearing this, Shen Changze and Shi Yusheng were fully reassured.

Zhou Shuyan even dared to invite them to verify with his wife, so what was there to doubt?

Shen Changze, hanging on the window, added, "Make sure you invite me when you have the drinks."

"For sure," Zhou Shuyan said, and suddenly felt an intensely strong gaze coming from behind Shen Changze.

Zhou Shuyan bent slightly forward, peering past Shen Changze’s arm, and saw Shi Yusheng sitting in the driver’s seat, silent, but staring at him earnestly.

Zhou Shuyan: "...I’ll definitely remember to invite Yusheng too."

No sooner had he finished speaking than that intense gaze disappeared.

Zhou Shuyan: "..."

"Brother Yan, we’re off," Shen Changze was somewhat reluctant to leave, waving goodbye to Zhou Shuyan slowly.

Zhou Shuyan waved them off, "Go on."

Finally, as he watched Shi Yusheng drive away, Zhou Shuyan felt at ease to return to the restaurant.

This was an oversight; he had thought sitting by the window would provide a nicer view.

Yet he hadn’t anticipated that Shen Changze would spot him.

Zhou Shuyan glanced over.
