“Let’s go . ”
Gu Jinzhi and Wen He stepped out of the car, one after another .
Wen He was just walking toward the entrance when she felt someone pulling her wrist .
She frowned and turned around . “What? Are you trying something new?”
Gu Jinzhi said, “Don’t forget that you are supposed to be my plus-one today . ”
Wen He huffed and hooked her arm with his .
As they stepped through the main door, the butler charged with ushering the guests in looked surprised to see them .
“Second young master . ”
“Hello . ”
Gu Jinzhi greeted the man with a simple nod and led Wen He into the brightly lit ballroom .
The moment they stepped into the ballroom, they received all kinds of stares from the other guests .
The first thing the guests noticed was Wen He and their eyes lingered on her for a few seconds in awe of her beauty . Then, when they noticed Gu Jinzhi beside her, they all looked taken aback .
For a moment, the ballroom descended into silence .
“Gu Jinzhi!”
A burly man cut through the crowd and slowly walked toward them .
He had a manly and rugged face that was matched with a pair of sneaky eyes . There was an air of malice and ruthlessness about him . He said to Gu Jinzhi, “Hey, I didn’t expect you to be here . Why are you not hiding in some dark corner and mourning over your failure?”
“Failure?”
Gu Jinzhi chuckled at the very idea and looked amused by it .
“My dear brother, do you really think you have succeeded?”
“I thought you already realized that ten years ago . ”
Lin Kang looked revoltingly satisfied with himself . When he noticed the guests watching him in shock, he took a deep breath in and forced a smile on his face .
“Since you’re back, then stay a while more . After all, today is the day father will announce to the world that I will become the successor to the Lin family empire . Brother, I hope you could give me your blessing . ”
His words sparked a commotion in the ballroom .
It was rare for the Lin family to organize public events, but they had invited all the influential people and elites in the city for the evening ball .
They were confused before, but the truth was now revealed!
“No wonder they make it such a glamorous evening . ”
“It was already clear ten years ago who the successor to the Lin family business will be . I don’t see why any of us should be surprised . ”
“I just thought it was a pity for Gu Jinzhi . All those years ago, when he left the Lin family, all he owned was a small clubhouse that the family gave him . It had been ten years and he has since developed the Golden City into a major entertainment centre . He also owns a lot of products and investments in the entertainment industry all over the country . The man is obviously more capable than Lin Kang . ”
Gu Jinzhi looked at how pleased his older brother was and continued to harmlessly smile at him without revealing his own thoughts .
When Gu Jinzhi and Lin Kang were battling with their tongues, Wen He took the opportunity to look around the ballroom .
She noticed that a lot of the guests were annoyingly interested in the two men beside her .
Suddenly, she felt someone’s intense gaze on her .
She looked around and found a pair of cold eyes that were staring at her .
Their eyes met .
Wen He was astounded .
It was Huo Chen!
Why was he here? Had he not returned to the capital?
Huo Chen was sitting on a sofa nearby and toying with a glass of red wine as he stared at her with a blank expression .
Those eyes betrayed no emotion of the man behind them . They made Wen He shudder inside until her heart started to ache .
She pulled her eyes away from him and tugged at Gu Jinzhi’s sleeves casually .
“Let’s find a place to sit, shall we?”
“Sure . ”
