Chapter 137: Can the Fiancé be Changed to Brother Lin Xuan?
The banquet hall on the third floor.
“You mean Su Hua came?” Wu Wenqing widened his eyes.
“Yes, she’s already seated inside.”
Upon hearing the report from his subordinate, Wu Wenqing’s face lit up with excitement.
He was only a distant relative of Su Hua by blood, and when he sent out the invitation, he didn’t expect Su Hua to attend at all.
But surprisingly, Su Hua really showed up.
Wu Wenqing hurried over in a rush. “President Su.”
“The time and location for the banquet were chosen very well.” Su Hua gave him a brief glance.
Now it was Wu Wenqing who was left confused.
This was the first time someone had complimented it like this.
Jiang Qing revealed an expression filled with deep meaning—wasn’t it chosen perfectly?
It just happened to give President Su a legitimate chance to meet Young Master Lin and also helped clear any ties between Young Master Lin and the Lin Family.
“I remember your company is short on funds.” Su Hua picked up her glass of red wine and slowly spoke.
Wu Wenqing’s eyes brightened.
Could President Su be hinting at investing in their company?
Next moment, Su Hua said, “Is ten billion enough?”
Wu Wenqing was so excited that his voice trembled. “Enough, enough!”
With these ten billion from Su Hua, their company would definitely survive this crisis.
Unable to contain himself, Wu Wenqing pulled Jiang Qing aside and asked, “Secretary Jiang, what’s going on with President Su today? She came to my birthday banquet and even offered to invest in me.”
This wasn’t at all like Su Hua’s nature.
Jiang Qing smiled faintly. “Because you helped President Su with something.”
“What did I do?” Wu Wenqing was completely puzzled.
Jiang Qing smiled slightly and replied, “You don’t need to know the specifics too clearly.”

The banquet hall on the first floor.
Lin Chang stood on the stage, introducing, “This is my son, Lin Li, who just turned twenty-one.”
The reason Lin Chang went all out for this birthday banquet was mainly to show everyone how talented his son was, thereby showcasing the broad development prospects of Starlight Group.
It was also subtly implying to everyone that the company would likely be inherited by Lin Li in the future.
A round of enthusiastic applause erupted around them.
Lin Chang beamed as he continued, “Young Master Lin has already started his internship at the company. Once he gains some experience, I’ll assign him an important position. Please all give him plenty of support.”
Lin Li smirked.
The company would definitely belong to him.
He glanced arrogantly down at Lin Xuan sitting below the stage. Lin Xuan would be his defeated rival.
Even though Lin Xuan was being kept by Su Hua, given her status, there was no way she would marry Lin Xuan. Lin Xuan could only be her secret lover.
Who knows, Lin Xuan might be discarded by Su Hua soon.
Lin Xuan wouldn’t remain smug for long.
Lin Li, dressed in a white suit, looked refined and courteous.
The crowd below began murmuring in admiration.
“Lin Chang really has a great son. Since Lin Chang has severed ties with Lin Xuan, the company will surely be passed down to Lin Li.”
“My daughter is also a student at Yun Capital University. She’s a fan of Lin Li. I heard she said Lin Li is studying two majors—computer science and management—and ranks highly in both.”
“So talented! It seems the future of Starlight Group is boundless.”
Qin Ruoyao listened to the praise surrounding Lin Li and felt a sense of pride akin to her own success.
She gazed dreamily, thinking Brother Li would definitely inherit Starlight Group, and she would become the female boss of this billion-dollar company.
Shen Qianqian, however, rested her chin on her hand, staring intently at Lin Xuan with a look of infatuation.
Her father curiously asked, “Qianqian, what are you looking at?”
“Father, who is that?” Shen Qianqian pointed at Lin Xuan.
She had stepped out briefly earlier and thus didn’t know Lin Xuan’s identity.
When she returned to the birthday banquet, she immediately noticed Lin Xuan. He was so dazzling that he instantly captured all of Shen Qianqian’s attention.
“That guy? He’s another son of Lin Chang, but he doesn’t study or behave well,” her father answered, shaking his head. “Your mother originally arranged a marriage contract with Aunt Lin.”
“Lin Xuan and Lin Li are twins, but Lin Xuan can’t compare to Lin Li. I chose Lin Li to be your husband.”
“Useless and immoral?” Shen Qianqian frowned. “Could there be some misunderstanding?”
His expressions and every move he made were truly charming.
How could he be so terrible?
“Qianqian!” Her father suddenly became wary. “Are you interested in Lin Xuan?”
Shen Qianqian’s face flushed red.
She always thought Lin Li was handsome, but after seeing Lin Xuan, she realized Lin Li couldn’t hold a candle to Lin Xuan.
Lin Xuan was far more attractive than Lin Li.
Moreover, several girls tried to talk to Lin Xuan earlier, but he ignored them completely, not even sparing them a glance.
Men who were disciplined and avoided women like that were rare.
She realized she was falling for Lin Xuan.
“Father, can we change my fiancé to Lin Xuan? He’s also born to Aunt Lin; it shouldn’t matter, right?” Shen Qianqian shyly suggested.
“Forget about it.” Her father sternly replied, “Lin Xuan isn’t worthy of you. Besides, Lin Xuan has been expelled from the Lin family and already has a woman he likes. I heard he even ran off to get married.”
“Got married?” Shen Qianqian paled. “Who?”
“A girl named Qin Ruoyao, from the same school as Lin Xuan.” Her father explained. He had thoroughly investigated Lin Xuan before and found him unsuitable, hence choosing Lin Li instead.
“Qianqian, stop daydreaming.” Her father softened his tone. “Just focus on marrying Lin Li. Lin Li is talented and capable, with limitless potential.”
“You’re my only child, and everything I decide is for your own good. I won’t harm you.”
“Father, I understand,” Shen Qianqian said absentmindedly.
On stage,
Lin Chang smiled and continued, “Today, my birthday gift to Young Master Lin is eight percent of Starlight Group’s shares, along with a short video I specially made for him, recording moments from his life since childhood.”
Of course, Lin Chang created this video to let everyone know how talented Lin Li was.
Lin Xuan sneered. “The show finally begins.”
Lin Chang gestured, and the large screen behind him lit up while all the lights in the banquet hall were turned off.
The only light in the entire hall was on the big screen.
Lin Chang introduced with a smile, “This was his seventh birthday. Back then, he was still small and specially made a wreath for his mother, saying something about how his birthday was the day she went through life and death.”
Lin Xuan snorted softly.
No wonder Jiang Shuqin loved Lin Li so much. Lin Li was pretty clever.
Gradually, Lin Chang’s introduction moved on to Lin Li’s high school days.
“This is a photo I took when Young Master Lin ranked third in the Yun Capital Province college entrance exam and was praised by the leaders.”
“This is the reward for ranking second in the computer exam at Yun Capital University.”
“And this is the award photo from winning first place in the national computer competition.”
Lin Chang’s heart swelled with pride.
This was his excellent son! His son who brought him countless honors!
Good thing Aunt Ya Jun gave birth to Lin Li for him.
