Suddenly, the music shifted, and all eyes turned to the entrance. Old Master Lin had arrived.
His presence finally dispersed the crowd around Lin Sanju, allowing him to breathe a little easier.
"If they're overwhelming you, just tell them to f*ck off," Lin Sunji, who had been silent until now, quipped. She took a sip from her wine glass, smirking with a hint of ridicule at her brother. "Why are you even humoring them? Just throw them to 'her' and let her handle it."
"Watch your language, Sunji. And why are you drinking so early?" He grabbed the wine glass from her hand. "Be careful not to upset anyone. You know how important today is."
"Ugh, why do you always nag me? Even Mother doesn't nag me this much. Anyway, where are they?"
Lin Sanju gestured toward the entrance. "They're already flocking around Grandfather."
Lin Sunji glanced over and saw their parents, all smiles, welcoming guests alongside Old Master Lin.
