Chapter 1002: Chapter 1002: Lin Tong Plays Hide and Seek
As the Family Head of the Lin Family, Lin Dongfang, this old fox, naturally understood this point, which is why he was so happy.
No one hopes for help in times of need because it means the family is in decline! Especially, as the current Leader of the Lin Family, he is even more unwilling to see anyone offering help in difficult times. But when it comes to enhancing success, he feels the more, the better.
He’s not afraid of visitors, he’s afraid no one will come!
Because, although the Lin Family is currently riding high, its foundation is shallow. To fully develop, a strong network of relationships is indispensable. Now, the more people who stand with the Lin Family, it means the faster and stronger the Lin Family will develop in the future.
The people who came today are the support of the Lin Family’s future. Although they already have Ye Xuan as their great support, one tree, no matter how large and tall, cannot form a forest! Without a large base, it is difficult for the Lin Family to develop.
And this is a rare opportunity for the Lin Family, which he must seize firmly, not to be rejected.
As Lin Dongfang cheerfully entertained guests from all walks of life, Lin Tong stood by the railing on the second floor of the villa, looking at the scene in the living room below, and couldn’t help but feel a pang of emotion.
Who could have predicted that the mysterious man who barged into her home and disrupted the Lin and Song Families’ engagement banquet was the same person she impulsively registered a marriage with. Now, he has brought such a great opportunity to the Lin Family!
Reflecting on the past, she felt as if everything was like yesterday, as if all of it was a dream she hadn’t woken up from.
No wonder, her grandfather chose him as her fiancé back then; he had long known Ye Xuan’s remarkable potential!
It’s just that others didn’t have her grandfather’s foresight, underestimated Ye Xuan, especially Lin Dongfang, who almost turned away such a good son-in-law.
Now, he is very grateful he did not make such a foolish decision; otherwise, how would the Lin Family have its current glory?
Ring, ring, ring!
At this moment, an urgent phone ringtone sounded, pulling Lin Tong back from her scattered thoughts.
The ringtone was coming from the room behind her.
She turned around and walked into the room, picked up the ringing phone from the bedside, glanced at the caller ID, and found it was Ye Xuan calling.
After pressing the answer button, before she could speak, Ye Xuan’s loud voice came through: "Honey, I’m already here, hurry down!"
Lin Tong said calmly, "I’m at the shopping mall outside now, not at home."
"Honey, don’t lie to me, I know you’re at home. If you don’t come down, I’ll come up and find you." Ye Xuan said with a chuckle.
"I said, I’m not at home."
"Really? The consequence of deceiving your husband is very serious, and you’ll have to accept my severe punishment. You better think it through!" Ye Xuan said seriously.
"Hmph! Even if I am home, I won’t go out." Lin Tong snorted arrogantly.
"Then I’ll come in and find you, don’t regret it later."
"Hey? Don’t you..."
Lin Tong had just opened her mouth, wanting to stop him, but found that Ye Xuan had already hung up the phone.
Immediately, her heart was filled with panic.
What should I do now? This rascal is coming up!
From her understanding of this guy, whatever Ye Xuan says, he’ll definitely do. When he comes up, he won’t let her off easily! Does she have to be tormented by this bad guy again?
No, I can’t let him have his way! I must escape this ordeal!
Lin Tong’s eyes flashed, suddenly glanced at the closet beside her, and came up with an idea.
She could hide somewhere! When the scoundrel comes in and can’t find her, he’ll believe she’s not home, and she can safely escape this crisis!
Lin Tong immediately praised her own wit.
Thinking about it, she quickly took off her slippers and walked barefoot to the closet, ready to hide herself inside.
However, while focusing on hiding, Lin Tong ignored the most important point — she didn’t lock the door! And for Ye Xuan, this incorrigible rogue, it undoubtedly created a convenient opportunity for him to break into her room.
Just as Lin Tong hid in the closet, Ye Xuan, on his side, had also broken into the Lin Family villa.
His appearance attracted the attention of most people in the living room, and all eyes shifted over.
Some who didn’t recognize Ye Xuan were curious about who he was. However, those who had seen him before were smiling more broadly, preparing to greet him.
"Oh? Ye Xuan, you’re here!"
Lin Dongfang’s eyes lit up, upon seeing Ye Xuan for the first time, he immediately came forward.
His face was full of smiles, and he said warmly, "Ye Xuan, my good son-in-law, welcome to our home as a guest... Oh, no! Welcome home! This is your home."
Others in the living room also gathered around at this time, those who did not know who Ye Xuan was, now understood his identity.
With such a good opportunity to curry favor with him, how could they let it slip?
"Young Master Ye, I’ve heard of your great name, as if thunder reverberating in my ears!"
"Meeting today proves you are indeed a superior person among men, Young Master Ye, it’s truly our honor!"
"Rumors spoke of Young Master Ye having an impressive appearance, with such a demeanor; seeing is indeed believing, you’re more handsome than the rumors suggest!"
"I heard Young Master Ye is planning to have a wedding with Miss Lin Tong, a perfect match of a handsome couple, congratulations!"
"Young Master Ye, let me introduce myself! I’m the chairman of Great Sea Real Estate, and I plan to hold a charity gala soon. I wonder if I could have the honor of inviting you to participate?"
"..."
At this moment, all these big figures gathered around, eagerly getting close to Ye Xuan.
Many were handing out business cards and exchanging flattering words, all vying to curry favor without any so-called reserve, fearing they’d be outdone.
After greeting Lin Dongfang, Ye Xuan saw this crazy crowd treating him as if he were their parent. He was totally confused.
What the hell is going on? Since when did I become so famous?
He had no idea that in some high circles of East Sea City, his identity had long become a figure of fear for many big shots, so naturally, they wanted to network with him!
However, Ye Xuan couldn’t be bothered to deal with them. He still wanted to go find his wife upstairs, so he just brushed them off casually and made an excuse to leave.
When he got to the second floor and didn’t find Lin Tong, he went directly to her room.
Outside her door, Ye Xuan twisted the door handle and found it unlocked.
So, he pushed the door open and walked in, then locked it behind him.
Glancing around the room, Ye Xuan’s gaze settled on the corner closet. A glimmer flashed in his eyes, and a playful smile appeared on his lips.
He looked away, pretending not to notice Lin Tong, and called out theatrically, "Honey, where are you? I can’t find you; come out quickly!"
Can’t find me, can’t find me... That bad guy won’t find me!
Lin Tong was curled up in the closet, mumbling as if casting a spell, constantly muttering and praying for Ye Xuan not to find her.
However, the heavens apparently didn’t hear her prayers. After calling out twice in the room, Ye Xuan suddenly glanced at the closet and walked straight over.
