Insufficient balance

  Han Yudie's eyes had the fierce burning of the eight trigrams fire, and she stared at Lin Dong who was very radiant: "Is it my cousin?" Very quickly, she denied herself and said, "I think not, so it seems to be with your teacher."

  Lin Dong nodded slightly, without any concealment in this regard. Mainly because Han Yudie had eavesdropped earlier, he said: "Sister Yudie, I'm very sorry about your cousin's affair. It seems that I couldn't calm her down. Thank you for thinking highly of me." After finishing speaking, Lin Dong bowed deeply.

  Han Yudie's strange smile said: "Nothing, I think you will have room for development in the future, go to the secret meeting first."

  Lin Dong had just stepped out when Han Yuxue quickly put on a coat and followed him out to tail the guy.

  Lin Dong quickly discovered Han Yutie's tail and, after shaking her off with some effort, directly killed his way to the Grand Rich Hotel.

  The Grand Mansion is located in the most prosperous downtown area of Pingjin City, West Street. It is a castle imitating 18th-century European-style architecture. As you approach the castle, you will be shocked by the architect's craftsmanship, and then a strong fragrance will come to your face. The surrounding area is filled with stalactites hanging upside down, dripping with colorful **, falling on the snow-white ground, clear and smooth, like jade music. Each stalactite cave is different in size and shape, with changing halos and colors. It's as beautiful as a hundred flowers blooming, and it's like the stars shining brightly in the sky, radiating bright light.

  The walls of the hotel were adorned with royal treasures such as oil paintings and other artworks, while the ceiling was painted with exquisite murals. The intricate gilded wood carvings, elegant furniture arrangements, chandeliers, and luxurious curtains and carpets all complemented each other, making the entire suite a grand sight to behold. This wealthy tycoon is said to be the epitome of Pingjin City's image. The hotel owner who invested in building this castle is rumored to be a patriotic Chinese national. Whether it was a man or a woman, no one had ever seen him/her, nor had there been any news about him/her in the media.

  The street lamps have just been lit.

  When Lin Dong arrived at this luxurious hotel, the first thing he saw was a row of expensive cars parked neatly in front of the hotel entrance.

  Lin Dong wondered what Ling Xing was going to do tonight. Wasn't he just inviting him to a banquet or something?

  A tall and straight man stood at the entrance of the hotel, with his waist held high. Behind him stood two rows of tall and slender waitresses wearing luxurious cheongsam dresses. The man wore a black Changshan suit, which made his tall stature even more striking.

  "Excuse me, are you Lin Dong?" The man walked up and asked as soon as he saw Lin Dong appear.

  "I am Lin Dong." Lin Dong nodded and said, feeling a bit tense. This was a rare kind of tension.

  "Hello, come with me, Young Master Ling is waiting for you upstairs."

  Lin Dong followed the man into the hotel and quickly went up to the first floor, where he saw a banquet hall the size of a football field.

  It seems that a grand wine party is being held here. However, Lin Dong soon realized that this was not an ordinary wine party, but a birthday banquet.

  Many women in gorgeous clothes walked past Lin Dong, casting a glance at him, mainly because his attire was too casual.

  "Here I am." Ling Xing, dressed in a black suit and trousers, arrived politely in front of Lin Dong with a radiant smile on his face. "Tonight is my grandfather's 70th birthday, so the wealthy are hosting a banquet to invite friends, and I don't have many friends, you're one of the few."

  Lin Dong looked at him with a faint smile and said: "Thanks. It seems you really look up to me."

  Ling Xing is up to something, and he basically understands now.

  "Please follow me, Xiaobei will be here tonight too."

  Lin Dong heard Lin Xiaobei's name and his heart suddenly ached, but the smile on his face still looked very calm: "It seems that your two families have a good relationship."

  Ling Xing said with a hint of pride, "That's natural, our two families have a good relationship. Uncle Lin almost treats me like his own son, I'll introduce you later."

  Lin Dong thought of turning his head and leaving, he felt like Liu Laizi entering the Grand View Garden.

  Even more unbearable is a country bumpkin who has crashed into high society and is being gawked at like a monkey.

  "Uncle Lin." Ling Xing led Lin Dong to a middle-aged man, who was refined in temperament and wore very casual yet elegant clothes.

  Lin Xiaobei stood in front of this man, she saw Ling Xing leading Lin Dong over and was slightly surprised.

  Lin Dong took one glance and saw that this middle-aged man was Lin Xiaobei's father, as the two shared some similarities in their facial features.

  "Xiao Ling ah." Lin Xiaobei's father flashed a bright smile, "Tonight you're also considered half the host. You look even more handsome than the old man at home."

  "Uncle Lin, this is my classmate, Lin Dong." Ling Xing smiled and introduced, "A genius in our class, every exam just passes, never a single point more, with great ambitions and aspirations. I brought him to see Uncle Lin on purpose. I know that Uncle Lin has always been a person who values ability highly."

  "Ah." Lin Xiaobei's father took a look at Lin Dong, whether he was a genius or an ordinary person, he couldn't tell at first glance. He only believed that with hard work came reward, and this young man named Lin Dong had given him a pretty good first impression so far.

  Facing the father of his crush, Lin's palms sweated a little, but he quickly adjusted his mindset and smiled: "I'm not some kind of genius, just someone who is relatively confident."

  I like confident people.

  "Little Xiao, are you a classmate?" A woman with a tall and slender figure, wearing a black evening dress and having snow-white skin suddenly interrupted.

  "Cousin sister, she's my classmate. Her name is Lin Dong." Ling Xing introduced her cousin sister.

  "You young people chat first, I'll go past and say hello." Lin Xiaobei's father saw an acquaintance passing by to greet him.

  "Next time you invite your classmate, ask him to dress more decently and solemnly." The woman said softly to Ling Xing.

  Lin Dong's ears moved slightly, and he smiled self-deprecatingly at the corner of his mouth.

  "I know." Ling Xingdao said.

  Lin Dongdao said: "Excuse me, I'll go to the restroom first."

  In the bathroom, Lin Dong took two big gulps of tap water, suppressing some of the anger in his heart.

  When Lin Dong came out of the bathroom, he saw Lin Xiaobei standing at the edge of the corridor.

  Is she waiting for me? Lin Dong asked himself in his heart, feeling a little joyful.

  You're such a useless guy, what's there to be happy about? Maybe others are just bored and came up here. Lin Dong thought with disdain for himself.

  Lin Xiaobei was dressed like a princess, wearing a white evening gown, with a delicate and beautiful necklace hanging around her slender neck.

  Lin Dong hesitated in his heart whether he should go forward and greet him.

  "You can leave, this circle is not suitable for you." Lin Xiaobei seemed to know that Lin Dong had come out, and turned her head to say calmly to Lin Dong. Without any proud or condescending tone or attitude.

  Lin was taken aback for a moment, never expecting the first sentence to be like this.
