Although Lin Han did not like this kind of occasion, she could not resist her brothers’ repeated requests and agreed to come here to go through the motions.
She grew up in the countryside. Not long ago, her adoptive parents died in a car accident. Then, her brothers came looking for her.
Her adoptive parents’ younger sister took the compensation money and quickly married off and sold the house. Meanwhile, Lin Han followed her brothers back.
Just then, she noticed a strange gaze in the crowd. She was able to accurately find the owner of the gaze, and her gaze met Lin Lili’s.
Seeing the woman who was also wearing a white gown, Lin Han understood. Her brothers had never mentioned this woman, but Lin Han had already found out that her grandfather had a girl who he loved very much. She heard that her grandfather planned to take this girl in as his god-granddaughter.
However, Lin Han did not have any opinions about this. If her grandfather was willing to take her in, then so be it. After all, it was Lin Lili who had been by her grandfather’s side all these years. It would not be an exaggeration to say that Lili should be the proper granddaughter.
However, the incident that Lin Han had encountered before made her wary. The men who had come to find trouble with her said that they had been sent by someone. At that time, from the way those men had attacked her, it was clear that they wanted to kill her.
She did not have any enemies, so the only possibility was that her appearance was a threat to someone.
Looking at Lin Lili’s cold eyes, Lin Han suddenly recalled those men.
Lin Han’s eyes were cold and calm, having no emotion in them. She only glanced at Lin Lili briefly before moving her eyes away. This was no doubt a provocation and a show-off to Lin Lili.
When elder Lin appeared, he held Lin Han’s hand and introduced her to everyone present. Everyone present went forward to curry favor with him.
As for Lin Lili, she could not hold it in anymore when she saw this scene. She had stayed by elder Lin’s side for so many years, but elder Lin had never held her hand before!
There was no intimacy between them. The two of them were so polite that they did not look like grandfather and granddaughter at all.
While others fawned over Lin Han, some rumors also reached Lin Lili’s ears. After all, over the years, Lin Lili had used her presence by elder Lin’s side to strut around and look down on others.
Now that Lin Lili was defeated, many people began to ridicule her.
“You can’t be proud now, right? Don’t think that I don’t know that she seduced president Lin before. Oh right, she also tried to seduce the second young master of the Lin family. It’s just that the young masters of the Lin family had never paid any attention to her.”
“Yeah, I heard that Old Master Lin let her stay by his side because she looks a little like some of the young masters of the Lin family. At first, she did look a little similar, but now that the little princess has returned, we can clearly tell who is the fake one.”
“So disgusting. She even seduced the young master of the Lin family…”
Lin Lili could not listen anymore. She took her bag and rushed into the bathroom. She turned on the tap and cried her heart out.
After crying for a long time, Lin Lili heard footsteps outside. She wiped her tears and walked out. However, just as she reached the bathroom door, she saw Lin Han walking toward her.
Lin Han was wearing high heels and felt a little uncomfortable. She wanted to find a place to rest, but she did not expect to meet Lin Lili, who had obviously cried.
Seeing this scene, Lin Han frowned slightly and then said coldly, “those people were sent by you to kill me, right?”
She suddenly spoke. Lin Lili did not expect Lin Han to suddenly ask this. After being stunned for a moment, she said guiltily, “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Seeing Lin Lili’s guilty reaction and answer, Lin Han was certain that the person who came to kill him was ordered by Lin Lili.
Lin Han took a step forward and suddenly reached out her hand to hook Lin Lili’s chin. She said coldly, “I will let bygones be bygones for what happened in the past. However, if you dare to think otherwise, don’t blame me for being ruthless.”
“I wouldn’t mind it if I lose something that is not mine. However, those that are mine, no one can take them away from me.”
Lin Han’s tone was light, but her aura was strong. In the past, Lin Lili was known as the capital’s famous beauty, but in front of Lin Han, she paled in comparison.
When Lin Lili heard Lin Han’s words, a trace of embarrassment flashed across her eyes. When she came to her senses, her face was flushed red and her eyes were filled with tears. She glared at Lin Han, reached out her hand, pushed her, and ran away.
Lin Han did not expect Lin Lili to suddenly push her. In addition, the high heels were too unsteady, and the ground was slippery, so she lost her footing and fell backward.
She subconsciously reached out to find a support point, but she was suddenly hugged from behind..
