Hearing Lin Tianhua's words, Lin Yucheng naturally felt a flash of joy in his heart, but he didn't show anything on his face.
Lin Youxiang, on the other hand, was beaming with joy. He stood up directly, patted his chest and said with a smile: "Grandpa, just be rest assured! If you leave this project in my hands, I will definitely not let you down!"
Lin Xueer's face was pale and her mouth trembled: "Grandpa! This is me..."
"Okay!" Lin Tianhua slammed the table, his voice was a little lower, and he looked at her with an unkind look: "Now that the matter has been settled, let's stop arguing! Let's eat!"
Lin Tianhua gave her no room to refute at all, and shouted sternly to stop what Lin Xueer wanted to say next.
Lin Xueer looked sad and angry, her whole body was shaking with anger, and her hands seemed to have been drained of strength. She could hardly hold the chopsticks anymore.
She didn't expect that grandpa could be so cruel to her!
It was obviously her right to cooperate that she had finally won, but now, her grandfather had snatched it away from Lin Youxiang with just one sentence!
Why?!
Is this fair?!
Lin Youxiang, who was sitting opposite, had a face full of gloating, as if he was a good boy after getting an advantage. He shook his head, took a bite of the food, and said with a smile: "Lin Xue'er, I think what you said is very reasonable. The matter has not yet been decided.
Before we come down, are you sure you have the confidence to have the last laugh?"
"No, the one who laughs last now is me, isn't it? Hahahaha..."
After saying that, Lin Youxiang shook his shoulders and laughed. His arrogant and proud look was so disgusting that even the other Lin clan members next to him couldn't help but feel contempt in their hearts.
Lin Xueer's face suddenly darkened, her beautiful eyes stared at him for a moment, and she said coldly: "Since you think this sentence is very reasonable, don't get too carried away! It's a blessing in disguise.
!”
"Are you kidding? Hahaha..." Upon hearing this, Lin Youxiang laughed arrogantly again.
But the next second, he suddenly suppressed the smile on his face, his eyes became sinister, staring at Lin Xueer like a wolf, and said: "Lin Xueer, there is an old saying, people
You know it yourself! Grandpa has already spoken and handed over this project to my third uncle and me. You can just watch it from the sidelines!"
"If you fight with me, you have no chance of winning!"
The atmosphere at the dinner table instantly became awkward, as if there was a smell of gunpowder smoke floating in the air.
Lin Sicheng frowned displeased, instinctively resisting the aggressive attitude of his adopted son, so he quietly touched Huang Yingjie's arm under the table and winked at her.
This was a signal to her to give Lin Youxiang some advice, and she should leave the situation as soon as possible.
However.
Huang Yingjie seemed to feel that her son was very majestic like this. She moved her arm away indifferently and rolled her eyes, completely pretending that she did not understand Lin Sicheng's look.
In fact, the reason why Lin Youxiang is so arrogant is more or less caused by years of depression.
He was fostered outside for ten years. Although he clearly had the blood of the Lin family, he was not allowed to attend any family meetings or dinners during these ten years.
Now Lin Tianhua finally started to take him seriously. Not only did he allow him to attend today's family dinner, he also gave him the project that Lin Xueer had worked so hard to win in front of so many clan members.
This blatant preference made him somewhat arrogant, and the grievances he had suppressed in his heart were vented in this arrogant way at this moment.
Seeing Lin Youxiang's triumphant look, Lin Xueer's face became increasingly ugly.
"Snapped!"
Lin Xueer put down her chopsticks, looked at Lin Youxiang coldly, and said, "Since you are so confident, I will wait and see how long you can laugh!"
After saying that, she stood up and left the restaurant, ignoring the comments of the tribesmen present.
What’s the point of continuing to eat such a “celebration feast”?
On the surface, it was said to be a commendation for the great contribution he had made to the family, but in fact it was just a "Hongmen Banquet"!
What does it matter whether she, Lin Xueer, is present?
The protagonist of today's meal is not her at all, but grandpas Lin Tianhua and Lin Youxiang!
"Dad! Look at this kid Xue'er! Why doesn't she understand any rules? She hasn't finished the meal yet..." Huang Yingjie screamed dissatisfied.
"Let her go!" Lin Tianhua waved his hand with a livid complexion.
This damn girl's temper is really getting louder and louder!
Lin Tianhua calmed down, looked at the other tribesmen at the table with a smile, and said apologetically: "Everyone, I made you laugh! This child Xue'er, her mother died young, and her father is not at home all year round.
It’s inevitable that I’ll spoil your temper a bit.”
"Come on, let's continue!"
Hearing this, the other Lin clan members at the dinner table quickly raised their wine glasses, answered the conversation with a smile, and filled Lin Tianhua's mind as he walked down the steps.
"Master, this girl just needs to be pampered! It's okay to show off her temper, hehehe..."
"Let me tell you, it was a wise move for the head of the family to hand over this project to Mr. San and the kid Youxiang! Can someone like Lin Xueer, who always has a childish temper, do a good job?"
"That's right! Lin Xue'er is too ignorant. It's clear that the head of the family is thinking about her, but she actually shows off!"
"Hey, this kind of person is selfish! Greedy! She only thinks about herself!"
"Come on, master of the house, let me toast you! Let's continue eating!"
At the dinner table, the joyful atmosphere was restored again. A group of people were talking, laughing, and mingling. No one seemed to care about Lin Xueer's angrily leaving the table.
Lin Youxiang raised his glass and took in all the congratulatory words from everyone.
He looked in the direction of the door of the restaurant, and a sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth unconsciously: "Haha, Lin Xueer, in the past ten years, you have been famous as the eldest lady of the Lin family, but so what?"
"Time has proven in the end that it is you, a bitch, who cannot be on the stage and cannot be recognized, not me, Lin Youxiang!"
While everyone was busy pushing cups and changing cups, Lin Xueer's third aunt Zhao Yu quietly left the dining table and walked towards the door.
In the garden of the old house.
Lin Xueer was sitting on the swing a little absent-mindedly, thinking about the scene that had just happened, when she suddenly noticed a figure appearing in front of her.
Looking up, I saw Zhao Yu standing there with a smile on his face and a look of concern on his face.
"Third Aunt, why are you out too?"
Zhao Yu walked over with a warm spring breeze and said, "Xue'er, when did you kid become so temperamental?"
"What your grandpa did today is embarrassing for you, but you can't leave a table full of people and just run out! This is so unruly!"
Listening to these words, Lin Xueer felt a sense of warmth in her heart.
Regardless of whether what Zhao Yu said made sense or not, at least she chased him out of concern for herself.
"Third Aunt, thank you."
But the next second.
What Zhao Yu said made the gratitude on her face freeze instantly.
"Xue'er, I heard from your grandfather that you offended Lixin's father during the Huo family's investment talks?"
