Chapter 3 Silence Fills The Room!

  • Guo Hong glanced at what Jiang Long had brought and said, "The best life? Some fruits and this unknown thing, is this what you call the best life?"
  • Jiang Long replied seriously, "Auntie, the fruits were bought temporarily, but this supplement is the Ice Mountain Snow Lotus that I personally bought from Russia. It's worth millions!"
  • Upon hearing this, Guo Hong couldn't help but burst into laughter.
  • "Do you have no shame? A Snow Lotus worth millions?"
  • Who would believe that?
  • Lin Wan'er shook her head and said, "You should just leave..."
  • However,
  • Lin Wan'er herself felt sorry for Jiang Long.
  • From childhood to adulthood, she has been the closest person to Jiang Long.
  • Lin Wan'er understands Jiang Long's character. Maybe he was just deceived by someone when he did what he did back then.
  • Jiang Long saw the hesitation in Lin Wan'er's eyes and said, "Wan'er, I know you still have feelings for me. Give me a chance to prove myself, just once, that's enough!"
  • Guo Hong angrily said, "It's useless! Take your worthless Snow Lotus and get out!"
  • At the same time,
  • Guo Hong said to Lin Wan'er, "You, little brat, go to sleep. Tomorrow morning, you have to attend your uncle's banquet. Don't waste time on this useless person!"
  • At this moment,
  • Lin Wan'er bit her lip and said, "Mom, let Jiang Long come with us!"
  • Guo Hong thought her ears were playing tricks on her!
  • "Don't joke around!"
  • "Your uncle is a big shot in the business world now. It's already good enough that we can attend his banquet. If we bring Jiang Long along, we probably won't even be able to enter the front door!"
  • Lin Wan'er insisted, "I want to believe in Jiang Long one more time!"
  • Jiang Long felt warmth in his heart upon hearing this.
  • As long as Wan'er still believes in him,
  • That's enough!
  • "Nonsense! Your uncle is still giving face to your father. If you bring Jiang Long along, when others start gossiping, it will be our entire Lin family that loses face!"
  • Guo Hong shook her head and sighed.
  • Jiang Long said, "Auntie, I won't let that happen!"
  • Guo Hong looked at her daughter,
  • Knowing that there was no way,
  • They couldn't just forcefully drive him away, right?
  • After saying that,
  • Guo Hong let Lin Wan'er take Jiang Long back to her bedroom.
  • In the bedroom,
  • Lin Waner said, "Jiang Long, tomorrow is Uncle's banquet, and the people attending are all either rich or noble. What do you plan to do?"
  • Jiang Long replied, "Of course, I will prove to everyone that when I, Jiang Long, return, I will bring you a lifetime of wealth and prosperity!"
  • However, Lin Waner shook her head and said, "Don't make big promises so early. My uncle and his guests are all superficial people. If you speak empty words like that, we will only be kicked out."
  • "Waner, others may not believe me, but you must believe!"
  • "So, is that Ice Lotus really worth a million?"
  • Jiang Long nodded heavily and said, "Of course, it was personally given to me by the President of Russia. It cannot be fake!"
  • Lin Waner was skeptical. She had never seen a supplement worth a million in her life!
  • "Since that's the case, take it and give it to my uncle tomorrow."
  • "Alright!"
  • The next morning,
  • Jiang Long drove the car with Lin Waner and Guo Hong, heading to Lin Zhennan's mansion!
  • Lin Zhennan is now the head of the Lin Corporation in Longtan City!
  • In recent years, under Lin Zhennan's leadership, the Lin Corporation has entered the right track and has become one of the well-known companies in Longtan City!
  • On the other hand, Lin Zhentian's industries have been declining, and coupled with Jiang Long's imprisonment, the Lin family can no longer hold their heads up high within the Lin Corporation!
  • Lin Zhentian himself understood that if it weren't for Lin Zhennan's protection, his family would have been kicked out of the Lin Corporation long ago!
  • With Lin Waner bringing Jiang Long, they instantly attracted the attention of many family members!
  • "Look, isn't that Jiang Long who was imprisoned seven years ago?"
  • "Yes, when did he get out? How dare he show his face here!"
  • "But Lin Waner is even more disgusting. Bringing someone like him here is undoubtedly tarnishing our Lin family!"
  • The rumors and gossip quickly reached Lin Zhennan's ears!
  • Beside him, Lin Zhentian's face turned extremely pale!
  • Today, in addition to the family banquet, Lin Zhennan had also arranged for a rising star in the business world to meet Lin Waner!
  • After all, for the future of the Lin family, Lin Zhennan planned to arrange a marriage for Lin Waner with the other party, which would make business negotiations much easier!
  • However, what Lin Zhennan never expected was that Lin Waner actually brought Jiang Long with her!
  • This was simply self-destructive and digging a pit!
  • Lin Zhennan was instantly furious!
  • "Zhen Tian, go and bring your daughter here!"
  • Lin Zhennan gave a direct order!
  • Lin Zhentian dared not disobey, and immediately called Lin Wan'er and Jiang Long over!
  • Guo Hong, watching Lin Zhennan's expression from behind, knew that something was wrong!
  • Lin Wan'er stood in front of Jiang Long and looked at Lin Zhennan, saying, "Uncle, this is my fiancé. Today is the second time you've met him."
  • At this moment,
  • Lin Zhentian looked at his daughter,
  • He looked frustrated, saying, "Nonsense, who gave you the right to bring such a person to a family banquet!"
  • Lin Wan'er took a deep breath and said, "Dad, he is my fiancé, so naturally he is also part of our family!"
  • At this time,
  • Someone from the Lin family said, "Lin Wan'er, you really think highly of yourself. This kind of ex-convict is nothing but a waste. Are you even proud to call a waste like him a member of our Lin family?"
  • "That's right! Even if he marries into the Lin family, it would be acceptable if it were someone else, but this kind of scum doesn't deserve it!"
  • Everyone's words were mocking Jiang Long and Lin Wan'er!
  • Guo Hong held back her anger and regretted deeply!
  • She should have driven Jiang Long away last night!
  • Now, it was truly embarrassing!
  • Lin Zhennan frowned,
  • He didn't expect Lin Wan'er to protect Jiang Long like this!
  • It was truly a disgrace to the Lin family!
  • Jiang Long remained expressionless, his sharp gaze sweeping over those who had mocked him and Lin Wan'er!
  • He remembered them all!
  • But today,
  • He came to give a gift!
  • Jiang Long said, "Wan'er, please present the gift to your uncle first."
  • Lin Wan'er nodded and handed over the gift box containing the Ice Mountain Snow Lotus.
  • "Uncle, this is a token of mine and Jiang Long's affection," she said.
  • As she spoke, Lin Wan'er placed the gift box in front of Lin Zhennan.
  • At that moment, many people sneered, "What can a worthless person bring that would catch Mr. Lin's attention?"
  • "What kind of rubbish is in there? Probably just trash!"
  • "Exactly! Genuine Ice Mountain Snow Lotus is worth at least tens of thousands. Can someone as destitute-looking as Jiang Long afford it?"
  • Jiang Long calmly replied, "Uncle, you can open it and see for yourself."
  • Lin Zhennan's face darkened. Naturally, he didn't believe that someone who had just been released from prison could bring anything valuable!
  • However, he decided to take a look, and then he could kick Jiang Long out later!
  • When Lin Zhennan opened the box and saw the snow lotus, his expression suddenly changed!
  • The Lin family members who were watching said, "Hehe, as expected... this is just an ordinary snow lotus, probably worth only a few hundred dollars!"
  • "Ah, I thought it was something truly special, but I didn't expect him to bring such a worthless item to Mr. Lin!"
  • Lin Zhentian's face was filled with extreme bitterness!
  • He didn't really understand the true value of this snow lotus anyway, but listening to everyone's comments, he knew that this time, his embarrassment was completely exposed!
  • Lin Waner bit her red lips, feeling increasingly anxious in her heart!
  • In the end, she sighed, regretting that she had trusted Jiang Long!
  • At that moment, seeing the situation, Lin Zhentian immediately stepped forward and said, "Big brother, it's all my fault for being ignorant and making you a laughingstock. I will dispose of this worthless item right away!"
  • As he spoke, Lin Zhentian reached out to pick up the box of Ice Mountain Snow Lotus.
  • But just as Lin Zhentian was about to take action, Lin Zhennan said, "Hold on!"
  • Hold on?
  • Everyone was filled with confusion by his words.
  • Wasn't this worthless item supposed to be thrown away?
  • Lin Zhennan suddenly stood up and held the Ice Mountain Snow Lotus as if it were a treasure.
  • He said with great excitement, "I'll accept this snow lotus!"
  • At that moment, the entire hall fell into silence!
