Chapter 17 - Don't Let Him Go!

Lin Chaodong and Lin Wanhao were excitedly discussing the upcoming visit to the Zhao Family’s home when Lin Luoluo returned.

“Grandpa, Dad, what happened, you seem so happy?”

“Oh, Luoluo is back.”

Lin Chaodong quickly asked.

“Luoluo, how was your day?

Nothing unexpected happened, right?”

Lin Luoluo shook her head:

“No issues, everything was normal.”

“Good, that’s good.

Eh?

Where’s Zhou Yu?

Why didn’t he come back with you?”

Lin Luoluo replied coldly:

“Who knows where he went!”

Lin Chaodong was very dissatisfied with Lin Luoluo’s attitude.

“Luoluo, you can’t be like this, in the future, come back from work together with Zhou Yu.”

Lin Luoluo was furious inside, really unsure what Grandpa saw in him.

She didn’t want to talk about Zhou Yu, and changed the subject out of curiosity.

“Grandpa, what were you just talking about, that made you so happy?”

Lin Wanhao smiled and repeated the story of You Wan agreeing to get the invitation card for the Lin Family.

After hearing the story, Lin Luoluo was also overjoyed.

“That’s wonderful.

With this, as long as we establish a connection with the Zhao Family tomorrow, we will have the confidence to deal with the Zongsheng Group.”

“However, can Grandfather You really secure the invitation for us?

If he doesn’t manage to…”

Lin Luoluo didn’t continue.

In his heart, Lin Wanhao was also a bit apprehensive, but he still reassured himself by saying.

“There’s no way, a person of Grandfather You’s virtue and reputation, since he promised, will surely deliver.”

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

Lin Wanhao immediately got up and went out.

Moments later, he returned with an excited face.

In his hands, there were four golden booklets.

“Dad, guess what this is?”

“This is?”

“The Zhao Family banquet invitation?”

The old man stood up immediately, exclaiming.

“Right, Dad, it’s the Zhao Family’s invitation.”

Lin Wanhao quickly walked over and handed the invitation to Lin Chaodong.

Lin Chaodong opened it and looked, his face full of surprise.

“Didn’t expect You Wan to handle this so quickly.”

At this moment, Lin Wanhao was full of pride.

“Naturally, after all, I have helped him before.”

While the Lin Family was joyfully celebrating, Zhou Yu returned.

Lin Chaodong immediately smiled and said.

“Zhou Yu is back, come and have a seat.”

Zhou Yu walked over smilingly.

“Grandpa, what’s the matter, you seem so cheerful?”

Lin Chaodong laughed heartily.

“A big happy event!

We have obtained the Zhao Family banquet invitation, and it’s for tomorrow evening.

You’ve come back just in time.

Prepare well tomorrow, and we’ll go together.”

Hm?

Zhao Heng’s efficiency is really high.

He delivered the invitation so quickly.

Zhou Yu nodded and said:

“Okay, Grandpa.”

However, the smiles on Lin Wanhao and Lin Luoluo’s faces froze.

Lin Wanhao panicked.

The invitation he had gotten with such difficulty, how could they let a waste like Zhou Yu go?

“Dad, you can’t be serious.”

“Does he deserve to go to such an occasion?

To waste the invitation we worked so hard to get?”

Lin Wanhao’s words made Lin Chaodong very angry.

“Wanhao, how can you talk like that?

What do you mean by ‘waste’?”

Suppressing his anger, Lin Wanhao said:

“Dad, there are only four invitations in total, you, me, and Luoluo simply have to attend, don’t we?

The last one should go to Yuzhen.”

Lin Chaodong replied gravely,

“Yuzhen doesn’t have to go.”

“How can that be!

At this kind of family gathering, there are sure to be many important figures’ wives.

If she goes, she can mingle with those ladies and help us indirectly.”

“If Yuzhen doesn’t go, who among us can communicate with those ladies of high society?”

Lin Chaodong was taken aback.

He had indeed overlooked this point.

The Lin Family’s visit to the Zhao Family’s home could be described as a desperate gamble for the Lin Family—they absolutely could not afford any mistakes.

“So, just let the kid stay at home.”

Although Lin Wanhao’s words weren’t pleasant, after careful consideration, they indeed made sense.

At that moment, Lin Luoluo also suggested,

“Grandfather, this matter is crucial; we cannot afford to fail.

Zhou Yu comes from the countryside; going there would just broaden his horizons, and there will be plenty of opportunities in the future.”

“This…”

Lin Chaodong’s expression grew ugly.

At this point, Zhou Yu spoke up.

“Grandpa, it’s fine, you all go ahead.

Actually, I have something to do tomorrow afternoon.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanhao quickly said,

“Dad, since he has things to do, let him go and take care of his business.”

Afterward, he turned to Zhou Yu.

“I’ll arrange a car and some money for you tomorrow, you go and handle your affairs.”

Zhou Yu shook his head with a smile,

“No need.”

“Grandpa, I’ll go upstairs to rest.”

Lin Chaodong sighed.

“Alright.”

Zhou Yu turned and walked upstairs.

He had originally wanted to tell the Lin Family that he had already received Zhao Heng’s invitation, but seeing Lin Wanhao and his daughter so averse to him attending the banquet, with their words dripping with disdain, Zhou Yu simply didn’t bother to say more.

Time flew quickly.

In the blink of an eye, it was the afternoon of the following day.

Lin Luoluo left work an hour early and rushed with Lin Chaodong to the Zhao Family’s villa.

Zhou Yu, on the other hand, got off work on time.

As he stepped out of the Lin Group’s main entrance, a pink BMW was already parked by the roadside.

Li Shuangshuang said with a sweet smile,

“Zhou Yu, get in the car.”

Seeing Li Shuangshuang’s outfit, Zhou Yu was taken aback.

Li Shuangshuang was a natural beauty with smooth skin, and without the need for makeup, she had a uniquely pleasant and delightful appearance compared to other girls.

Plus, today she was wearing an off-white strapless dress that added a touch of mature feminine charm to her usual pure and sweet appearance.

Zhou Yu’s gaze swept over Li Shuangshuang’s chest.

He could not help but sigh internally.

I hadn’t noticed before, but she’s quite full-figured.

Li Shuangshuang could naturally feel the change in Zhou Yu’s gaze.

Her cheeks tinged with red.

“Zhou Yu, do I look good in this?”

Zhou Yu touched the tip of his nose.

“Hmm, pretty.

In our village, you’d definitely be the village beauty.”

“Cough cough!”

At this moment, a coughing sound came from behind.

Only then did Zhou Yu notice that Li De’an was sitting in the back seat.

“It’s about time; we should head out.”

Li Shuangshuang playfully stuck out her tongue and then started the car.
