Chapter 36
The gathering of the rich and famous of Bay City was extremely exclusive and luxurious. Fade Chen was mesmerized by the brilliant lighting and decoration. Of course, what excited him the most was the delicious food and wine that was served.
If he had not been held back by Quin Lin, Fade Chen would have thrown himself onto the food like an animal and ate boisterous.
Quin Lin kept greeting and socializing with other guests while bringing Fade Chen along her. The boring greetings and stiff smiles made Fade Chen feel a little drowsy.
Just as Fade Chen was getting bored, Quin Lin suddenly pinched him and whispered, "He is here."
Fade Chen looked up. He saw two young men coming over. One of them was dressed in a fancy red suit. It was Quin Lin's brother, Jeremy Lin.
Beside Jeremy Lin was a man in a suit in his late twenties. The man was tall, and his good looking face attracted almost all the women's attention while on his way, In addition to that, the slight smile on his face alone could put many women into a state of anxiety.
However, in Fade Chen's eyes, his smile was particularly fake and disgusting. He couldn't help but frown and said, "Is he Howard Zhang?"
Quin Lin nodded. Howard Zhang and Jeremy Lin were already in front of them. Jeremy Lin sneered and snorted, showing no intention of greeting them.
Howard Zhang greeted her with a smile said warmly, "Quin, long time no see."
Quin Lin nodded slightly, and her attitude was tense. "Mr. Zhang, you're too polite."
However, Howard Zhang was still relaxed, as if he didn't notice Quin Lin's alienation. He still said enthusiastically, "Quin, since we had dinner together the last time, we haven't seen each other for months. During this period, I have made appointments with you several times but you were too busy. This time, I finally see you at this party thanks to Mayor Wu's retirement. I feel much relieved."
As a handsome young man and one of the richest people in Bay City, it was rare for him to be so affectionate and even humble to a woman.
Many women around them were glancing at Quin Lin with envy and jealousy.
Quin Lin frowned slightly. She didn't like Howard Zhang's deliberate way of approaching her. She took a step back and said blandly, "Mr. Zhang must be joking."
Howard Zhang continued to smile gently and said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, Quin. Why don't we find a seat and have a talk?"
As he spoke, Howard Zhang walked over with a smile and reached out to grab Quin Lin's hand.
When Fade Chen saw this, anger surged from the bottom of his heart. Who are you to touch my woman? You deliberately pretended that I am invisible, and even reach out to hold my wife's hand.
With a slight force, Fade Chen pulled Quin Lin into his arms and reached out to stop Howard Zhang's hand, saying, "My wife Quin has nothing to speak to you about."
As soon as he said this, Howard Zhang's face turned cold.
He pretended not to see Fade Chen earlier to show his disdain for him. But now, this guy began to provoke him and held Quin Lin in his arms, which made Howard Zhang's temper rise furiously.
However, he was a well-known wealthy man, so he did not act aggressively. Howard Zhang remained composed and smiled. He glanced at Fade Chen and said to Quin Lin, "He is.. Quin, why don't you do introduce him?"
Quin Lin was in Fade Chen's arms. Smelling the strong scent of the man, her body became soft, her cheeks were hot and her head was dizzy. She could barely register what Howard Zhang was saying to her.
As Quin Lin did not respond, Howard Zhang's eyes flashed with anger. Then, he turned to Quin's brother. "You should know about the situation. Please introduce this gentleman to me."
Jeremy Lin looked like it was the first time he saw Fade Chen, He looked at Fade Chen up and down and said, "Master Zhang, I'm really sorry. Although I'm Quin's brother, I don't know who this guy is. My sister would not have any contact with such a person."
"Oh, I don't know you sir, can you introduce yourself? What do you do for a living and what does your family do?." Howard Zhang said.
Looking at these two people echoing each other, how could Fade Chen not notice that they deliberately wanted to embarrass him?
Fade Chen sneered, but he did not get annoyed. Instead, he held Quin Lin tighter in his arms, raised the corners of his mouth, smiled playfully, and said, "What a coincidence. You are her brother. In fact, I am also her brother." "Brother!" Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
The crowd was stunned. They didn't know when Quin Lin had such a frivolous brother. Moreover, this guy was obviously younger than Quin Lin!
Howard Zhang was also stunned for a moment before he came to his senses. He said to Fade Chen, "Oh, I don't know that Quin has another elder brother."
Jeremy Lin directly pointed at Fade Chen's nose and hollered, "Boy, what nonsense are you talking about?"
Fade Chen smiled playfully and said, "I'm not talking nonsense. When we sleep together at night, Quin often calls me her 'good brother'.
--------------
The whole crowd fell into dead silence.
Everyone was dumbfounded and stared at Fade Chen.
Even Quin Lin, who was in Fade Chen's arms, was also stunned. It took her a long time to come to her senses. Full of embarrassment, she clenched her fists and pounded a few times on Fade Chen's chest.
An overwhelming sound range in Quin Lin's mind. I told this guy not to talk nonsense before we entered the door, but he had actually said such an embarrassing thing in public.
However, Quin Lin also knew that Fade Chen deliberately said this in order to provoke Howard Zhang.
But when she thought of the scene Fade Chen described, she couldn't help but recall the memory of her and Fade Chen spooning together in the hotel that fateful night. She couldn't help blushing as red as a rose.
This scene had undoubtedly confirmed what Fade Chen just said. The relationship between the of them was not platonic. Even the way Quin Lin hit Fade Chen could be interpreted as being affectionate.
At this time, Howard Zhang's face darkened. He stared at Fade Chen fiercely as if he wanted to eat him alive.
"Mr. Zhang, long time no see."
At this time, a rich businessman who just came in the room smiled and greeted Howard Zhang. He finally broke the awkward silence and the venue was lively again.
