nWith nothing to do, he took out his phone to take a look.

nBai Lian sent a message.

nHe opened it and frowned.

nChen, I am here for Grandpa Jing’s birthday too. Do you think I should give him my well wishes? Wouldn’t it be bad if I don’t? Grandpa already has a bad impression of me…

nJing Chen had no intention of letting Bai Lian come. They had not even started dating yet. If Grandpa saw them bringing her in so suddenly, he would definitely get angry.

nGrandpa knew what Bai Lian looked like!

nJing Chen only felt that Bai Lian was messing around and he was annoyed.

nHowever, he did not inform Bai Lian. She also had good intentions which placed him in between a rock and a hard place.

nJing Chen could tell which was more important.

nStay where you are and leave now!

nBai Lian held the phone in her hand and was stunned for a moment. Then, her eyes darkened. Usually, Jing Chen would be angry if he said something like that. It was indeed wrong of her to come here without informing him beforehand, but Jing Chen’s attitude towards her recently made her feel very uncomfortable.

nIt was even harder to accept!

nShe gritted her teeth and lowered her head to type.

nOkay, I’ve delivered the gift. I’ll leave now.

nChen, can you come to find me tonight after you’re done? I have something important to tell you about Su Wan…

nWhen Jing Chen saw this message, he was stunned for a moment. He looked at Su Wan in confusion. What could happen to her?

nJust as he was frowning in confusion.

nJing Hai said loudly, “Jing Chen! Have you been bullying Wanwan? She’s not in the right state today. Her mind seems to be elsewhere.”

nThe older, the wiser!

nSu Wan was already trying very hard to control her expression and state of mind, but in the midst of the conversation that seemed to be going well, she was still seen through!

nShe looked at Jing Chen apologetically, then yawned and smiled shyly. “Grandpa, Jing Chen has always been good to me. Everyone can see that it’s not him that’s bullying me.”

nJing Hai snorted and glared at Jing Chen before saying, “It better be. Otherwise, we won’t let this brat off!”

nIt was just a small interlude, and it passed quickly.

nSu Wan didn’t take Grandpa Jing’s teasing to heart and chatted happily.

nTime passed by unknowingly and the banquet was about to begin. As the main character of the banquet, Jing Hai definitely had to go out for a chat and catch up with everyone.

nSu Wan and Jing Chen followed Grandpa out.

n…

nBai Lian, who had been feeling aggrieved, watched the live broadcast and the headlines that had already been reported. Her head started to hurt.

nShe knew that she was in a very bad situation now, but she was definitely worried about leaving everything to Jing Chen.

nLin Xiu pushed her wheelchair into the female toilet.

nShe stopped in front of the sink and waved Lin Xiu out.

nShe took a deep breath once, twice, and forced her eyes to widen. She did not allow herself to blink as she stared at her reflection in the mirror. Very quickly, tears flowed out of her reddened eyes. The bitterness and the online reports gave her a shock and jealousy!

nShe burst into tears.

nIn the blink of an eye, her hands were wet, and she flicked them towards the ground. Then, she covered her eyes and started to sob slowly. In the end, she was in so much pain that she wanted to die. She cried hysterically.

nUntil Qin Lan appeared.

nWhen Bai Lian heard the commotion, she immediately looked at Qin Lan like a frightened little bunny.

nQin Lan naturally noticed her as well. Qin Lan expressed that it was very unlucky to see her here. With just a glance, she pretended as if she didn’t see her. She went into the washroom and looked around. After seeing that there was nothing on the floor that she was looking for, she left the washroom and prepared to leave.

nBy the time Qin Lan left, Bai Lian had already composed herself. She looked at Qin Lan apologetically and greeted her obediently, “Hello, Auntie. I’m sorry to have let you see me lose my composure. It’s such a joyous occasion for Grandpa Jing. It’s really not nice for me to cry.”

nQin Lan frowned and let out a deep breath. It was obvious that she didn’t want to bother with Bai Lian, but she had a good upbringing. She couldn’t just turn around and leave without a word. Even so, her tone wasn’t good.

n“You know you’re unlucky. Be sensible and leave this place. Don’t dirty other people’s eyes.”

nQin Lan wasn’t polite at all!
