After the mother was reborn, she was deeply involved in the battle for favor between her sons

The Xie family is a wealthy and powerful family, and twenty years ago, the Ji family could still compete with them.

But after Lin Xu and her husband passed away, the Ji family declined a lot. Although Ji Tingyang later turned the tide and brought the Ji family back together, they were still inferior to the Xie family.

So even if Ji Tingyang was unwilling, he had to give face to the Xie family and attend the birthday party.

Many people came to the birthday party, all of whom were well-known figures in financial newspapers.

Lin Xu wore a champagne-colored off-shoulder dress. The slim cut outlined her perfect figure. The light skirt swayed with her steps. The jewel-studded necklace and exquisite bracelet brought out her elegance and nobility to the fullest.

Lin Xu had attended such banquets with her husband many times before, and her behavior was dignified and calm.

As soon as she followed Ji Tingyang onto the stage, she attracted the attention of many people on the field, and there was a hint of surprise in their eyes when they looked at her.

When they saw the people around Lin Xu, they were surprised again.

I have attended so many banquets before, but I have never seen Ji Tingyang bring any female companion. Everyone said it was because Young Master Ji was so affectionate.

Except for the canary at home, no other woman has ever been seen getting close to Ji Tingyang.

He is so abnormal today. Could it be that this lady is the canary he has hidden at home?

This woman is so beautiful, no wonder Ji Tingyang doesn't want to bring her out to see people.

For a moment, all kinds of thoughts were running through everyone's mind.

Many people also came over to greet Ji Tingyang, and their eyes and topics turned unnaturally to Lin Xu.

However, Ji Tingyang remained unmoved and had no intention of introducing Lin Xu to them.

They could only leave slowly.

As more and more people gathered at the venue, Ji Tingyang had no choice but to entertain them and say a few polite words.

"You sit here for a while, I'll go over to say hello and be back." Ji Tingyang took Lin Xu to the sofa in the rest area.

After walking two steps, he turned back and reminded her, "If someone comes to talk to you, don't pay attention to them."

Lin Xu didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "I'm not a three-year-old child, go ahead."

Ji Tingyang was still worried. Even when he was talking to someone not far away, he would look at Lin Xu from time to time to make sure she was safe.

It turned out that Ji Tingyang's worries were right.

He had been gone for a while when a man came over and started talking to him.

"Miss, alone?"

Lin Xu: "No, I came here with Ji Tingyang."

When the man heard Ji Tingyang's name, his mind suddenly flashed with his sinister and terrifying behavior, and he turned away in fear.

That guy is a lunatic, it's better not to provoke him.

However, the second man who came over to chat with her was obviously not afraid of Ji Tingyang, and he even approached her in a particularly gossipy manner.

"So, you are the woman that Ji Tingyang hides at home and cherishes so much?"

"I'm not." Lin Xu frowned, stood aside and distanced herself from him.

"Since you're not, how about following me?" The man said, moving closer to Lin Xu, and wanted to put his arm around her waist while speaking, "Ji Tingyang has a cold face all day long, it's scary, right? Leave him and follow me, I promise to treat you well~"

Before his hand touched her body, it was restrained by a strong and powerful hand.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Zhang, this lady has already promised me, you have to queue behind me."

Lin Xu turned his head to look.

Ji Zeqiu was seen wearing a well-fitting black suit with a faint smile on his lips.

"What? Is the big star Ji interested too? How about we go together?" The man looked between Lin Xu and Ji Zeqiu with ill intent.

That look is disgusting.

Ji Zeqiu's smile did not fade. He stepped forward and whispered in the man's ear: "It doesn't matter whether I am interested or not. What matters is whether Mrs. Zhang is interested in knowing that Young Master Zhang has a beautiful woman outside?"

"You!" The man gritted his teeth, "Are you threatening me?"

"Of course I wouldn't."

"Remember this!" The man stared at Ji Zeqiu gloomily for a long time, snorted coldly, and turned away.

The smile on Ji Zeqiu's face disappeared, and he was about to mock Lin Xu coldly when he saw her looking at him with a smile.

"Thank you. Fortunately you came. Otherwise, I don't know how long that man would have pestered me."

Hearing the reassuring tone in her voice, Ji Zeqiu sneered, "How do you know I'm not here to pester you?"

"Oh? Are you going to bother me?" Lin Xu looked surprised.

Ji Zeqiu choked.

This woman isn't even half as gentle and considerate as Wen Li, how could he possibly pester her!

Lin Xu smiled, took back the joke, and asked him, "Why are you here?"

"I work for Xie's company. Is it strange for me to be here?" Ji Zeqiu said.

correct.

Lin Xu then remembered that Ji Zeqiu debuted in a competing company of the Ji family. As a big star promoted by the Xie family, it was not surprising that he came to the Xie family's birthday party to congratulate them.

Not only Ji Zeqiu, but other big-name artists under Xie Corporation were also present. However, Lin Xu's attention to the entertainment industry was limited to Ji Zeqiu, and he could not recognize anyone else.

"It's you." Ji Zeqiu sneered, "Ji Tingyang actually dared to leave you here alone. He is really confident."

There are so many people at the banquet, and they are a mixed bunch. It would be terrible if one of the men plotted against her.

"Oh, he is worried. Look, he is coming over here." Lin Xu pointed to a place not far away.

Ji Zeqiu looked over and saw Ji Tingyang walking towards him quickly.

Ji Zeqiu rolled his eyes, and suddenly a wicked smile appeared on the corner of his lips. He put his arms around Lin Xu's waist and brought her into his arms with an intimate gesture.

He whispered in Lin Xu's ear, "Do you think Ji Tingyang will go crazy when he sees us being so close?"

In the past, if Wen Li said a few words to him, Ji Tingyang would go crazy and make the entire Ji family restless.

And if it were Lin Xu this time, would he go crazy enough to ruin the entire Xie family’s birthday party and be regarded as a lunatic by everyone?

He suddenly felt a little excited.

Lin Xu: "..."

Is he afraid he is sick?

As he was speaking, Ji Tingyang had already walked in front of them. When he saw Ji Zeqiu's actions, his brows furrowed.

"Let her go. Can't you stand on your own? What's the point of holding her like that?" Ji Tingyang said sternly.

"If I don't let go, what can you do?" Ji Zeqiu increased the strength in his hands, pulling Lin Xu tighter into his arms, provoking her in a childish way.

"you……"

Just as Ji Tingyang was about to speak, he heard someone calling him over.

He is the president of another partner.

Unable to refuse, and worried about Lin Xu being alone, he had no choice but to say to Ji Zeqiu: "I'll go over there, you protect her."

Ji Zeqiu looked at Ji Tingyang's back and was stunned.

"Why isn't he angry or mad? Can't he see that I have bad intentions towards you? How dare he ask me to protect you?!"
