The fact that these people were willing to be friends with her meant that they had some ulterior motives.
Che Qin was the one who was especially supporting Zhang Rongqing. "That's right. In marriage, we always consider social status. Jiang Tongtong comes from a lower background, so she lacks proper etiquette. How can a girl from a respectable family move in without getting married? It's fine if the young couple wants to live together, but with your father and you at home, she doesn't seem to feel any shame."
"However, Gantang, don't worry too much. Maybe your brother found her intriguing for a while. Just be magnanimous and bear with it. If you argue with your brother, it'll be you who ends up at a disadvantage." Zhang Rongqing seemed to be trying her best to persuade her.
Lin Gantang felt annoyed and bored hearing such words, so she decided to dispel the pretense of these people.
Her voice turned cold, "Zhang Rongqing, pursue whoever you like, but I advise you not to interfere in other people's feelings. As Che Qin said, a girl from a respectable family would not act shamelessly."
Zhang Rongqing almost couldn't hide her smile.
She didn't know what had gone wrong for this young lady, who always threw tantrums, to figure things out.
Then, she saw that Lin Gantang's gaze was somewhat distant. "Who my brother likes is his business. I was willing to be your weapon in the past, and you're addicted to it?"
Lin Gantang took her wine glass and walked away.
The people around Zhang Rongqing looked at her angrily.
Le Yu looked in the direction where Lin Gantang had disappeared. He pushed his friends aside and quickly chased after her.
"Lin Gantang, wait!"
Lin Gantang turned around.
"Could you add me on WeChat? I don't have your phone number." Le Yu adjusted his suit jacket. He was tall and had a mixed-blood face, making him look quite handsome.
"Sure." Lin Gantang extended her hand. "Can you give me your phone? I'll input it."
Le Yu didn't expect her to be so easygoing. Indeed, his appearance was not inferior to Gu Zhichuan's, right?
Lin Gantang created a new contact for him and thoughtfully labeled it "Lin". After that, she turned around and didn't say another word.
More guests arrived. Lin Gantang checked the time and went to find Lin Zhaonan.
Lin Zhaonan was at the buffet area, getting a strawberry cake for Jiang Tongtong.
Lin Gantang picked up an empty plate and placed it in front of him.
Jiang Tongtong was delighted to see her. "Tangtang, you're back? The macarons here are delicious. Do you want to try some?"
"Too sweet." Lin Gantang didn't like overly sweet things.
Lin Zhaonan glanced at her and added five macarons to her plate.
Lin Gantang was speechless.
Lin Gantang placed the macarons into Jiang Tongtong's hand and took Jiang Tongtong's cake for herself.
"Don't always snatch Tongtong's things!" Lin Zhaonan frowned.
"She said she likes macarons. Didn't you hear her?" Lin Gantang raised an eyebrow.
"I like them," Jiang Tongtong said, and Lin Zhaonan refrained from scowling.
"There seem to be a lot of people here?" Lin Gantang pushed aside the small piece of fresh strawberry on the cake and asked in confusion.
Though the Yin family had influence, this wasn't a formal business meeting. Why did so many people come?
"It's because you're here," Lin Zhaonan replied, looking at her meaningfully.
Lin Gantang was confused by his words.
Lin Zhaonan held a glass of red wine and leisurely swirled it. "Wen Yanqing will be here if you come."
He wanted to seize this opportunity to let Shengfang Group know him.
Therefore, many of those who did not have an invitation letter had to ask for it from the Yin family.
"How did they know I would come?" Anyone who wasn't blind would know about the conflict between her and Yin Zhen, right? All these years, she had never attended the Yin family's banquets.
"When the Yin family sent out invitations, Dad told them that you and I would be coming."
