"Is this Xinzhou?"
Lin Jinluan shamelessly crowded closer.
Gu Yibo had intentionally kept his daughter away from Lin Jinluan, even hugging her and turning their backs to him, intending to leave.
But Lin Jinluan still jogged around to the front.
Looking at the angelic little girl, he smiled obsequiously, "Hahaha, in the blink of an eye, you've grown so much, haven't you?"
Gu Xinzhou didn't remember ever having met him when she was younger.
Her clear pupils shattered into a mix of astonishment and wariness.
By her ear, Gu Yibo spoke warmly, "Zhouzhou, let daddy introduce you, hehehe, this is Uncle Lin, today's birthday boy."
Gu Xinzhou immediately understood and smiled politely, "Uncle Lin, happy birthday."
Lin Jinluan seemed to smile flatteringly but was actually scrutinizing Gu Xinzhou closely.
Having been in business all his life, he was quite experienced in judging people.
With one glance, he saw that Gu Xinzhou was far superior to Gu Xinfei!
Neither servile nor overbearing, composed, knowledgeable, and with refined speech.
Lin Jinluan was extremely pleased!
Such a girl was worthy of being the mother to his future grandsons and granddaughters!
Lin Jinluan, "Hahaha, very good, very good, Xinzhou, it's still early for the banquet, do you want Uncle Lin to find someone to chat with you? To show you around and mingle?"
Gu Xinzhou decisively declined, "No, I'll stay with my dad."
Gu Yibo was pleased with his daughter's attitude.
This was indeed his beloved daughter!
There was not a single good person in the Lin Family; there was no need to get too involved with such people. His attendance at the birthday was just a customary appearance and out of politeness.
Especially businessmen, who value these kinds of occasions greatly.
They could use the banquet to meet more new influential friends, develop more opportunities, or even exchange a few words with someone they had been wanting to talk to.
Gu Yibo looked at Lin Jinluan, "Mr. Lin, I'll take Zhouzhou over first."
Lin Jinluan nodded with a smile, "Alright, alright.
Don't worry, I understand what you mentioned just now.
I'll definitely protect Xinzhou as well as you!
I won't let anyone bully her!"
Gu Xinzhou raised an eyebrow slightly, sensing something ambiguous in his words.
She wasn't related to the Lin Family and didn't need protection from unrelated people.
There's no such thing as a free lunch; Gu Xinzhou instinctively sensed Lin Jinluan's ulterior motives and pulled Gu Yibo away, "Dad, I'm hungry, let's go to the venue and see if there are any snacks."
Gu Yibo left with his daughter.
Lin Jinluan stood in the corridor, watching the swaying figure of Gu Xinzhou.
He immediately called his son over.
Lin Jinluan whispered three sentences in his son's ear—
"Turns out Gu Xinfei is not Gu Yibo's biological daughter.
If that's the case, Gu Yibo will never entrust the Gu Corporation to her!
That Gu Xinzhou, good-natured and beautiful, you might as well pursue her!"
Lin Yuexi frowned uncomfortably, "Dad, I just started dating Xinfei, it wouldn't be good to break up now, would it?"
Moreover, although Gu Xinfei might not be stunningly beautiful, she was a gentle lady of reputation, he hadn't yet experienced her intimately or been to bed with her, to break up so soon would be a loss!
No matter how beautiful Gu Xinzhou was, so what?
Over the years, he had dated numerous beautiful models and internet celebrities, each one prettier than the last.
He still preferred to sleep with Gu Xinfei first before considering other women.
At that moment, Gu Xinzhou suddenly came running back, holding a crescent-moon white fairy dress.
