There was an engagement party going on in the banquet hall of Hotel Sheng Yue, yet it was decorated as if a grand wedding was going on. There were a red carpet and an emcee who had just introduced the future bride and groom. He was singing praises to their love, giving a moving speech that had everyone in tears.

Lin Chu looked on as the pair walked down the stage. The handsome man and beautiful woman were a fine-looking pair standing together.

“Haha, President Lin, you have such good fortune to have an outstanding son-in-law, he and Yuwen are indeed a pair match made in heaven,” a guest laughed as he toasted.

Lin Zhenghe was happy but tried to sound humble.

Lin Chu could hardly hear those flattering words, her eyes were watching the groom-to-be, Cheng Ziming, tauntingly. Standing next to him was Lin Yuwen, who was blushing and smiling coquettishly. Cheng Ziming was gentlemanly and magnanimous, looking down at Lin Yuwen with love. His sight swept past Lin Chu unintentionally and he gave a pause.

After all the guests had finished their toast, Lin Zhenghe led Cheng Ziming and Lin Yuwen to each table, toasting their guests in turn. Madam Lin, whose name was Su Changxin, suddenly said coldly, “Lin Chu, accompany me to the restroom.”

Lin Chu swallowed whatever sarcasm she was prepared to dish out and stood up silently. Su Changxin was already walking in front of her.

With one behind the other, they left the banquet hall. No one had noticed a man in a trim suit behind them. When they walked past him, he paused on the spot. He was a good-looking man who locked his eyes on Lin Chu.

“Master Yan? The guests are waiting in the room,” Zuo Qiu reminded him uncertainly.

“You can go over first,” a pleasant, low rich voice replied casually. It was like a sudden wind that no one could capture in time and before he knew it, the man had walked towards the direction Lin Chu had headed.

…

Su Changxin had made sure that there was no one in the restroom and locked the door before saying coldly, “This is Yuwen’s engagement party, why are so obvious with that expression of yours? You can’t wait for outsiders to figure out something is wrong?”

Lin Chu took a deep breath before answering quietly, “I didn’t really need to be here today.”

What was she doing here? To watch her boyfriend of four years suddenly get engaged to someone who was only her sister in name?

She was totally unaware of the relationship. Cheng Ziming was still dating her at the time. Even though they were seeing less of each other, she had always thought that he was busy with work. Cheng Ziming had always let her know how grateful he was that she could understand him.

They were chatting on the phone only one night before when he went to visit the Lin family with Lin Yuwen the next day. He had stood in front of her and the entire Lin family to announce their engagement. The Lin family were long aware of Cheng Ziming’s existence and knew that he was dating Lin Yuwen. While she was staying in the university’s hostel, Cheng Ziming had already visited the Lin family multiple times as Lin Yuwen’s boyfriend.

All Cheng Ziming gave her was this sentence, “Lin Chu, love is something that is hard to explain. We may not be destined for each other, but we will still be family.”

Su Changxin narrowed her eyes and her tone turned ruder than before. “What would people think if you don’t attend this party? They would think we are treating the adopted daughter poorly by not allowing you here. Lin Chu, you should be grateful to our family for bringing you up. I know you like Cheng Ziming but he is now Yuwen’s fiancée. You should stop your wishful thinking. It is important to know one’s limitations and understand where you stand, don’t fight with Yuwen for everything.”
