Chapter 180 - Concealment

Gu Ming's expression turned even more ugly.

Lin Sitong was too lazy to continue speaking. If Gu Mingxun had already determined that he was this kind of person, then no matter how she tried to explain, she wouldn't change her mind. Then, why would she waste her breath?

"Half a sentence is too much." After Lin Sitong indifferently threw these words to the ground, she prepared to leave.

At that moment, the door to the hall, which had been tightly shut, was suddenly opened by someone.

In an instant, everyone in the hall turned to look at the door that was wide open.

"What's going on?"

"I don't know. Could it be that there are other arrangements?"

Everyone's eyes were filled with doubt. As they looked at the door that had mysteriously opened, they began to discuss in hushed voices.

Listening to the discussions of the people around him, Lin Sitong's gaze was also tightly locked onto the pitch-black unknown space.

He didn't know why, but the anxiety that he had suppressed a moment ago suddenly appeared once more.

Lin Sitong could not help but frown.

Just as everyone was puzzled, the sound of rhythmic footsteps could be heard coming from outside the door.

Following the sound of his footsteps, a young man wearing a dark blue suit slowly appeared at the door. Stepping in an unhurried pace, he slowly walked in from the darkness.

As the young man approached, his tall and straight figure that seemed to have been carved out of fine jade gradually fell into the crowd's line of sight, attracting the cries of the young girls.

"So handsome!"

Isn't this the young master of Pei Family?

"Oh my god, is there really such a handsome person in this world?!"

As though he had noticed that he was being watched, the young man stopped in his tracks. His handsome face revealed a faint but somewhat indifferent smile, and his narrow amber eyes seemed to search the crowd for something, before landing on Lin Sitong's body.

Lin Sitong's body couldn't help but tremble slightly as she met the young man's gaze.

Pei Qingheng?!

Why did he suddenly walk in from outside?

Lin Sitong's brain suddenly became a mess.

Pei Qingheng's gaze quickly moved away from Lin Sitong and shifted to Gu Zhirou. He said with a slight smile, "Aunt Gu, I'm late."

Gu Zhirou suppressed the doubt in her eyes, and a faint smile appeared on his face: "Aunt Gu is very happy that you came over."

Pei Qingheng smiled and did not speak anymore.

There were some people who seemed to be the focus of attention since the moment Pei Qingheng appeared in the great hall, he attracted the attention of countless people.

Pei Qingheng wore a noble and distant smile on his face, and after giving a slight nod to the people around him, he walked with large strides to Lin Sitong's side.

"Why are you …"

"Why are you …"

The two of them asked the same question almost at the same time.

Pei Qingheng's eyes revealed a hint of a smile, as if he was extremely satisfied with the two's tacit understanding.

"You first." Lin Sitong said.

"Why are you here alone?" Pei Qingheng asked.

Lin Sitong was startled, she turned back to find that Gu Mingxun, who was behind her just now, had already left without her knowing when.

Lin Sitong shook her head, and said: "I'm a little tired, and I'm lazy to hide here."

Pausing, Lin Sitong could not help but ask: "Why did you suddenly enter from the main door?"

Hearing Lin Sitong's question, Pei Qingheng's smiling face immediately darkened.

"What's wrong?" Lin Sitong could not help but frown.

"Just now, I caught a few people at the door." Pei Qingheng paused, and looked at Lin Sitong.

"Who is it?" Lin Sitong asked, but the answer had already surfaced in her heart.

Lin Sitong pursed her lips: "Yes... They? "

Pei Qingheng didn't say a word as he dragged Lin Sitong out in large strides.

The moment Lin Sitong walked out of the banquet hall, she heard Ling Xiaorui's lazy voice sound out. "Yo, sister-in-law is here too?"

As he said that, he looked at Pei Qingheng with his pained teeth, "Third brother Pei, you really are something! He would leave him alone for the job of acting cool! You haven't thought about your brother at all, have you?! "

Pei Qingheng lightly glanced at Ling Xiaorui, and said coldly: "If it wasn't for some people, would I have to make a public appearance?"

After Ling Xiaorui heard this, he immediately stopped talking.

Lin Sitong did not listen to what the two said, her gaze was fixated on the two men in black behind Ling Xiaorui who were holding onto him, the expression in her eyes was extremely complicated.

Pei Qingheng looked at Lin Sitong, his eyes revealing a trace of worry: "These two people … What do you want to do with it? "

"I have to say it." Ling Xiaorui interrupted, "People like them should be thrown into the ocean and fed to sharks!"

Hearing Ling Xiaorui's words, the two people who were caught revealed fearful expressions in their eyes, their mouths covered while letting out "wu wu wu" sounds.

Lin Sitong pursed her lips, and said softly: "Let them go."

"What?" Let them go? " Ling Xiaorui opened his eyes wide, "How much effort did I put in to let them enter?!"

Lin Sitong looked at Ling Xiaorui, and forced out a smile: "Thank you, Director Ling. "But …"

Lin Sitong paused for a moment before sighing softly, "These are my parents after all."

Ling Xiaorui curled his lips, waved his hand, signalling the black clothed man to release the two of them.

The moment the two of them were put down, Zhou Ailian's sharp voice rang: "Lin Sitong! You heartless little beast! She was enjoying her meal here! To meet a new rich person and recognize you as his daughter, you must have forgotten about the mother who gave birth to you and raised you, right?! "

As these words came out, Pei Qingheng and Ling Xiaorui's eyes revealed slight displeasure.

Especially Pei Qingheng, the way he looked at Zhou Ailian was as if he was looking at a dead man.

Lin Sitong's shrill voice made Lin Sitong's head hurt. She rubbed her temples and asked softly: "What do you guys want?"

"I'm going to see the woman inside!" Zhou Ailian looked sideways at Lin Sitong and said coldly.

"No." Without even thinking, Lin Sitong decisively refused Zhou Ailian's request.

Lin Jiahai spat out, and laughed sinisterly: Why are you not letting us see?! She just wants our daughter, whom we've raised for more than twenty years, to go. We can't ask her how much money he wants?! Even in the old society, they still had to give money to sell their daughters! Besides, what is it now … "What a law-based society!"

"Exactly!" Zhou Ailian said sharply, "She wants our daughter! But give us the money! "

Ling Xiaorui, who was at the side, was dumbstruck.

This was his first time seeing his parents like this.
