Lin Xuan's appearance instantly drew the attention of all the dignitaries present.
After all, they had all come for the Su family's celebration banquet.
As the heir personally chosen by Su Shengtian and the initial owner of the [Beauty Pill], Lin Xuan was naturally the focal point of this banquet...
At this moment.
Dressed in a white suit, Lin Xuan stood out like a dazzling pearl, standing proudly amidst the crowd.
His facial features were sharp and well-defined, as if sculpted by an ancient Greek artist.
His deep eyes gleamed with wisdom, as if they could see through people's hearts.
The slight upward curve of his lips exuded an effortless confidence and composure.
His white suit was tailored to perfection, highlighting his tall and slender frame while accentuating his unique aura.
With his upright posture and confident strides, he was undoubtedly the most dazzling presence at the banquet, making it hard for anyone to look away.
He raised his glass and exchanged toasts with some of the high-status elites at the banquet without arrogance or servility.
With refined conversation and deep insights, he engaged effortlessly with the wealthy elites, instantly becoming the center of attention.
…..
"Is this really the same Young Master Lin I knew? His temperament has changed so much!"
"Holy shit! Didn't he have an anger problem? Every time I saw him before, he looked full of hostility. When was he ever this approachable...?"
"So handsome~~ With a face like that, he could totally be a celebrity! And he's young and accomplished! The Su family really struck gold with this marriage alliance!"
"By the way, isn't the Lin family on the verge of collapse? Is Young Master Lin not going to help them?"
"Help them? Hell no. You know what Lin Jianjun's family is like. Lin Xuan is probably more than happy to see the Lin family fall! But I heard that the Lin Corporation has been secretly acquired by some mysterious figure?"
"(ˉ﹃ˉ) What about our number one beauty of Magic City? That breathtaking sight from years ago is still fresh in my memory! She was absolutely stunning~~"
"......."
As people toasted and drank, gossip began to spread fervently.
At this moment.
The three members of the Wang family also noticed Lin Xuan. Since they were going to be relatives soon, they smiled and raised their glasses, preparing to strike up a conversation.
In their eyes, Lin Xuan was nothing more than a spineless live-in son-in-law.
That Su Shengtian had chosen him as the heir was nothing short of desperation.
Now that Su Qingge had woken up, she would undoubtedly try every means to take back the shares from Lin Xuan.
And any ambitious man would never surrender without a fight.
This was the Wang family's chance—to sow discord between the couple and pull Lin Xuan over to their side as an ally...
"Brother-in-law, could we have a private word?"
"Brother-in-law, we have something very important to discuss with you."
Faced with the Wang family trio suddenly trying to claim kinship, Lin Xuan didn't even lift an eyelid. He directly ignored them and continued chatting and toasting with the other guests.
The Wang family trio assumed the surrounding noise was too loud for Lin Xuan to hear them.
So, they raised their voices and called out several more times.
Finally, Lin Xuan responded. He looked around blankly.
"Hmm? Strange, I... think I heard a dog barking? Everyone, did you hear that?"
Pfft~~
A lady among the guests immediately burst into laughter.
In an instant, it triggered a chain reaction, causing the whole room to erupt into laughter. Everyone turned toward Wang Fugui's family with mocking gazes.
"You—!"
The Wang family trio's faces turned red with anger at such public humiliation.
Faced with this utter humiliation, the Wang family trio was furious, their faces flushed red with anger.
Their gazes locked onto Lin Xuan, burning with rage.
There was no doubt that Lin Xuan had just humiliated them deliberately, in front of everyone, leaving them no place to hide.
Just then, their savior arrived...
"YOU INSOLENT FOOL!!!"
A furious voice rang out as a woman in a red cheongsam stormed toward them.
From afar, Su Yan had seen her family being humiliated by Lin Xuan. She immediately rushed over, pointing at him and shouting angrily:
"Do you have no respect for your elders? We are your family, yet you dare to insult us in front of outsiders?"
"This is an absolute disgrace to the Su family! Hmph! I knew from the beginning that you had ulterior motives when you married into our family!"
"You disrespectful brat! Apologize to my husband's family immediately!!!"
"......."
Lin Xuan remained silent, merely giving Su Yan a cold, indifferent stare.
This complete disregard made Su Yan feel utterly disrespected, and she was about to storm forward to push him.
But before she could get close, two bodyguards dressed in black stepped in front of Lin Xuan like immovable mountains, blocking her way.
"You two worthless servants! Get out of my way! Do you dare to defy your master?"
"Look carefully at who I am! I am your real master! My father is Su Shengtian!!!"
Su Yan furiously glared at the two bodyguards, stomping her feet in frustration.
She never expected that even mere servants would dare to defy her now.
If she couldn't regain control soon, would she still have a place in the Su family?
But the bodyguards completely ignored her.
They had always found her arrogant and overbearing.
Now that the true heir, Su Qingge, had woken up, they no longer needed to obey Su Yan's commands.
"This is outrageous! Is the Su family's son-in-law trying to rebel?!"
"Where is Su Qingge? Bring my niece to me immediately!"
"I need to ask her face-to-face—does she intend to stand by and watch her own aunt being humiliated?"
Su Yan's fury reached its peak as she demanded to see Su Qingge.
"Shut up! Qingge will be here soon."
"Until then, behave yourself. Otherwise, I'll have you thrown out right now."
Lin Xuan's tone was calm and unshaken, yet it carried an undeniable authority.
For a moment, Su Yan was stunned.
Then, her face darkened, and she dared not speak further.
"Holy shit! Looks like there's some serious internal conflict within the Su family!"
"No kidding~~ Su Yan's just a brainless romantic. How could she ever outplay them in a power struggle? If not for her blood ties, she would've been crushed by the Su family ages ago!"
"Wait... Did I hear that right? Su Qingge woke up from her vegetative state? That's incredible! Wasn't it widely reported that she would never wake up again?"
"Old Master Su is truly a legend! People thought that whole 'marriage to ward off bad luck' thing was just superstition, but he actually managed to wake up his granddaughter! That's some next-level thinking!"
"I don't think Su Yan will be able to use her old emotional tricks this time. Old Master Su's downfall has crossed Su Qingge's bottom line."
"......"
As the guests exchanged information, they once again turned their gazes toward Su Yan and her group, their eyes filled with amusement, all eagerly waiting for the drama to unfold…
