Madam's Awakening Shocks The Whole World-Chapter 91 - 89: Charity Dinner 1 (First Update)

The Lin Family’s mansion is located in the affluent area north of Beihai City.

As dusk fell, countless luxury cars gradually drove into the gates of the Lin Family’s mansion, with servants busily greeting the arriving guests.

Old Master Lin, along with all the members of the Lin Family, greeted all the guests with smiles on their faces, as the visitors in glamorous attire entered the vast living room of the Lin Family Villa.

Under the bright crystal chandeliers, glasses clinked, people bustled about, and numerous men and women dressed in elegant formalwear greeted and conversed with familiar guests.

Waitstaff in white outfits navigated through the crowd with trays in hand, with guests occasionally picking up red wine and champagne from their trays.

"Director Lao, welcome, welcome, this must be your daughter, truly a case of ’a girl changes eighteen times as she grows up.’", Lin Hua, the current head of the Lin Family and the only son of Elder Master Lin, held a glass of red wine and greeted Director Lao.

"Haha, Chairman Lin is too kind," Director Lao laughed heartily, "Chairman Lin’s daughter is far more outstanding than mine, to have such an excellent daughter, Chairman Lin is truly fortunate."

Director Lao’s eyes shifted to the woman beside Lin Hua, dressed in a champagne-colored cocktail dress, with a cute and delicate visage. The woman stood dutifully by Lin Hua’s side, smiling elegantly.

Lin Hua looked dotingly at his daughter, who had not long returned to the country. The charity dinner was held not only for philanthropy but also to introduce his daughter Lin Tianya, who had just returned from studying abroad, to the higher echelons of society.

"Uncle Lao is joking; Wanwan is far more outstanding than I am," Lin Tianya said with a light laugh, looking at Director Lao’s daughter Liu Wan, affectionately called Wanwan.

Liu Wan affectionately linked arms with Lin Tianya, coquettishly saying, "Tianya, you’re making fun of me as soon as you get back to the country. I won’t let you off today. Come on, let’s catch up with the old sisterhood."

Lin Tianya nodded and excused herself to join the laughing group of daughters, with Lin Hua’s permission.

"Old Master Jiang, Director Jiang, and Madam Jiang have arrived!" someone whispered to Lin Hua, who then apologized to Director Lao before heading to Elder Master Lin’s side. He whispered to Elder Master Lin, who nodded and then apologetically excused himself from his circle of old friends to head towards the entrance.

An elderly gentleman with a full head of silver hair, dressed in a Zhongshan suit and leaning on a cane, made his way towards the approaching Elder Master Lin, supported by Jiang Feng and Mo Qianhui.

"Old fellow, it’s been too long!" Elder Master Lin laughed heartily as he greeted his silver-haired contemporary, Old Master Jiang.

Old Master Jiang laughed back, "Yes, your old bones are still holding up, aren’t they?!"

"How could I possibly die before you!" Elder Master Lin darted a glance at Old Master Jiang.

Jiang Feng and Lin Hua, among others, stood by with light smiles on their faces as they watched the two old men. These two had always been good friends, bickering from their youth into their old age; those familiar with them had long since gotten used to their way of interacting.

"Grandpa Jiang, Uncle Jiang, Aunt Jiang," a sweet voice rang out, and Lin Tianya, dressed in a champagne-colored gown, approached them.

The eyes of Old Master Jiang and the others turned to the newcomer, "And who might this be?"

Elder Master Lin laughed heartily and pulled Lin Tianya closer, "My granddaughter, Tianya, how could you forget?"

Surprise briefly crossed the faces of Old Master Jiang, Jiang Feng, and Mo Qianhui, but they soon smiled, "It’s Tianya. We haven’t seen you in such a long time; you’ve grown so much! You don’t look like you did as a child at all, and you’ve become more and more beautiful."

Lin Hua and his wife had divorced ten years ago, and following the divorce, Mother Lin took up permanent residence in America, while Lin Tianya, missing her mother, went to America to study six years ago, rarely returning home. As a result, the upper echelons of society seldom saw the grown-up Lin Tianya.

In the past, Lin Tianya’s appearance was not considered particularly impressive; she was only of average beauty among the young ladies of high society. However, after six years, Lin Tianya had become delicate and stunningly beautiful, stirring the interest of many men in attendance.

In front of Elder Master Lin, Lin Tianya bashfully smiled and involuntarily looked up at Grandpa Jiang and Lin Feng. After a moment’s hesitation, she spoke, "Brother Qingtian, why haven’t you arrived yet?!"

Lin Hua understood his daughter’s underlying meaning and shook his head with a wry smile.

Lin Tianya and Jiang Qingtian had actually been childhood sweethearts, but the younger Jiang Qingtian was arrogant and had never liked this ordinary-looking little sister who used to stick to him. At that time, the simple Lin Tianya was teased by her family to marry Jiang Qingtian, but he was merciless in his words, even mocking Lin Tianya by saying she was an ugly duckling making a bid for attention, daring to marry him with such looks. This caused Lin Tianya to become heartbroken and desperate, leading her to study in America out of longing for her mother, and six years passed before she became beautiful and returned home.

Upon hearing Lin Tianya’s question, Grandpa Jiang immediately chuckled and said, "That lad Qingtian left home early; how could he not have arrived by now?"

From the side, Mo Qianhui observed Lin Tianya. In her heart, Jing Zhimei was the perfect daughter-in-law, but Jing Zhimei was indifferent to her own son and was so kind to Mo Yunchen, whom she detested the most. Now, while Lin Tianya might not be as outstanding as Jing Zhimei, she came from a family that was a good match for her own and even liked her son. frёewebηovel.cѳm

With a tender, loving smile, Mo Qianhui gracefully stepped forward, took Lin Tianya’s hand, and looked at her approvingly, "Once your Brother Qingtian arrives, I will make sure to give him a good talking to, to spend some proper time with our lovely and beautiful Tianya."

Upon hearing that Mo Qianhui was going to scold Jiang Qingtian, Lin Tianya immediately looked up and anxiously rushed to say, "No, Aunt Jiang, Brother Qingtian must have been delayed. Don’t be hard on him."

"Alright, alright, Aunt Jiang won’t scold your Brother Qingtian." Mo Qianhui found herself liking Lin Tianya more and more, having already forgotten Jing Zhimei completely.

If Lin Tianya were to marry into the Jiang Family, it wouldn’t be bad at all! What’s more, Lin Tianya was much more likeable than that cold and haughty Jing Zhimei. She felt that she wouldn’t have to worry about not being able to control this future daughter-in-law. Having made peace with this thought, Mo Qianhui became even more affectionate towards Lin Tianya.

She kept asking about Lin Tianya’s time in America these past few years, to which Lin Tianya shyly responded.

Just then at the entrance, a handsome and tall man entered, with an elegant and beautiful figure standing beside him – none other than Jiang Qingtian and Qin Qin.

"It’s Young Master Jiang, right? Who’s that with him? I’ve never seen her before. She’s quite beautiful, though, on par with the daughters of the Lin and Jing Families, isn’t she?"

"Yes, she has quite the presence. I wonder which family’s daughter she is?"

"I find her even more beautiful than the first lady of high society, Jing Zhimei. Don’t you feel it?"

"Jing Zhimei is definitely slightly more beautiful, right? It’s just... her aura seems even more noble than Jing Zhimei’s."

Grandpa Jiang, Jiang Feng, and Mo Qianhui turned their gazes towards the newcomers, and upon seeing Qin Qin beside Jiang Qingtian, their expressions changed.

"Who is that?" Grandpa Jiang’s face darkened.

"Dad, she’s just a friend of Qingtian’s. It was she who saved Qingtian when he had trouble this time; perhaps Qingtian brought her along to show his gratitude by letting her experience this event," said Mo Qianhui, though her expression betrayed her discomfort, even as she forced a smile.

Lin Tianya’s face turned deathly pale, her eyes reddened – why had her Brother Qingtian brought another girl along?
