Chapter 481: Lin Kerou Was Simply Insulting Her in a Roundabout Way

Given Bo Chengcheng’s words, Li Beinian was relieved.

After she had gone through all the notices in the afternoon, she received the gown that Bo Chengcheng had prepared for her.

Bo Chengcheng had a keen eye for fashion.

Tonight’s gown was a light blue mermaid tail dress, graduating from a darker to lighter shade from the tail upwards. It was conservative yet exquisite.

The dress was slightly off-shoulder and showed off her well-proportioned and tall figure. It was matched with a pair of flat heels.

CEO Yang was surprised when he turned up to pick her up. When he realized how tall she actually was, he laughed regretfully and said, “It’s a good thing you’re not wearing high heels. Otherwise, I wouldn’t want to be standing next to you.”

CEO Yang wasn’t very tall. Typical for a southerner male, he stood around 1.76m.

Li Beinian pouted a little and placed her arms lightly in his hand. It was apparent that she was his company, but they kept a very appropriate distance.

Many heads turned to look in their direction as they walked into the event venue.

As a public figure, of course, most people recognized her, especially in light of the big hoo-ha between her and Mu Donglin recently.

Hence, many of them had a meaningful look in their eyes as they stared.

A number of people came up to greet CEO Yang as he entered.

After a few exchanges of greetings, CEO Yang led Li Beinian into the venue.

She smiled politely and decently, so those who met her eyes exchanged greetings with her.

Suddenly, there was a commotion behind them. Li Beinian turned to look. A small crowd had gathered.

And at the center of the crowd… that familiar feeling had followed her for two lifetimes now…

Mu Donglin’s face was devoid of any expression. Instinctively, it placed a sense of distance between him and everyone else.

Only, there was a woman next to him.

Unlike herself and CEO Yang, the other couple was standing very close to each other. The woman was almost hanging off him, leaving little distance between them.

Things were still the same.

In the previous lifetime, in this lifetime. Both of them behaved as such.

Outwardly, they called themselves siblings. Behind closed doors, they shared an intimate relationship.

Once upon a time, her heart would shatter whenever she saw them like this.

But now, she felt nothing but indifference.

Lin Kerou seemed to have sensed Li Beinian’s stare and looked in her direction. Immediately, she said something into Mu Donglin’s ear.

He froze for a moment and looked up across the room, his gaze falling on Li Beinian.

Many people noticed this and started to whisper among themselves.

Very quickly, he looked away and greeted the people next to him.

CEO Yang had noticed this too and lowered his voice to ask, “Are you okay?”

Sensing CEO Yang’s cautiousness, she smiled and replied, “CEO Yang, he and I have nothing to do with each other since some time ago.”

CEO Yang looked relieved and said, “I will be offering him a toast later. If you don’t feel up to it, then you may excuse yourself to go to the restroom.”

“Sure.” She seemed happy and carefree.

When the crowd around them had thinned out, CEO Yang gave her a light nudge.

Li Beinian understood immediately and turned to walk away.

Unexpectedly, a delicate voice called out, “Nian Nian!”

The greeting sounded almost happy, laced with a hint of a pleasant surprise. “I didn’t think you’d be here, what a coincidence.”

Lin Kerou did not bother to lower her voice, drawing quite a lot of attention from the people around.

Li Beinian knew that she did it on purpose.

She pouted briefly and turned around without losing the decent smile on her face and returned the greeting politely, “Indeed, it’s been a long time, Eldest Young Master Mu, Miss Lin.”

Hugging Mu Donglin’s arm tightly, Lin Kerou said to Li Beinian, “I saw a beautiful necklace that I really wanted, and Brother Donglin insisted on having me come with him. I couldn’t talk him out of it. But Nian Nian, why are you here? Are you accompanying someone for entertainment purposes?”

What sort of person would accompany someone for entertainment purposes?

Lin Kerou was simply insulting her in a roundabout way.
