Chapter 1068 - Bantering Their Entire Lifetime
“Oh my god, I feel like I’m about to faint. Help me stand up… He’s so handsome!”
The socialites present all had their eyes on Lu Jinwen. They were almost drooling.
Jun Mosheng looked at Lu Jinwen, instantly recognizing him. Wasn’t he the footman who appeared at the temple a few days ago?
“Uncle Lin.” Jun Mosheng walked in front, arriving in front of Lin Zhong as he smiled. “May I know how this mister here is related to Xuanji?”
Lin Zhong was shocked for a moment. His initial plan was to have Xuanji marry Jun Mosheng, since the Jun family held absolute power in Karghalik. If Lin Xuanji were to get involved with some other man and have a bad reputation, the marriage between the Jun and Lin families was never going to happen.
Lin Zhong glanced at Lu Jinwen with a grim expression. “Who are you? This is my daughters’ coming of age ceremony, not just anyone can come. Hurry up and get out now!”
“Hello, President Lin.” Lu Jinwen’s secretary, Ye Shu, walked in front. “Let me introduce you to my sir, Mr Lu, Lu Jinwen.”
Mr Lu.
Lu Jinwen’s life motto, if you wanted to have something, you had to take action first and work for it with everything you had.
So what if she had a promise with Jun Mosheng this lifetime? With him here, he was going to make it become an empty promise.
Silence meant consent.
Lin Xuanji’s expression already told everyone present the answer. That she had kissed the man, that she had really pledged to marry him.
She even wore the Newbutty gown that he had gifted her, she just couldn’t rebut it anymore.
“So the second miss of the Lin family has someone she fancies already.”
“I originally thought that the Jun and Lin families would have a marriage, but it turns out Second Miss Lin fancies Mr Lu.”…
Everyone felt that it was such a sham.
Jun Mosheng pursed his lips, feeling a wave of disappointment. So it turned out she was already someone else’s fiancée.
Lin Zhong was the most confused one. This coming of age ceremony was specially held to bring Xuanji and Jun Mosheng together but now it had suddenly become Xuanji and Lu Jinwen’s engagement ceremony.
His precious cash cow had been coaxed away by this man! How did this even happen?
With this entire scene today, Xuanji’s reputation had been ruined. Which established family would even want to take her now on?
“Mr Lu, my daughter is still naive so she became acquainted with you. But since the olden days, marriages have only been arranged by the parents. I’m going to inform you now, I don’t approve of you dating my daughter. Moreover, what are you going to marry my daughter with?”
Lu Jinwen held Lin Xuanji’s hand tightly, his almond-shaped eyes landing on Lin Zhong. “I will marry her with a business empire as my betrothal gift.”
I will marry her with my business empire as my betrothal gift.
He said those words so nonchalantly, as though he was just narrating a simple matter. He wasn’t just haughty, he was the epitome of arrogance!
He stood under the lights, in the middle of the crowd as the crystal chandeliers shone on him. The 25 year old man stood there, so dignified as he exuded a maturity that didn’t match with his age, he was just overpowering with his charisma.
The socialites present gasped, taken aback by this man. As they looked at his handsome face, their hearts just couldn’t help but thump wildly. This man was a dragon who was bound to soar, sooner or later.
Jun Mosheng and the young masters present were all stupefied by his words. A business empire as a betrothal gift? The man was too arrogant and precocious.
“You… You…” Lin Zhong struggled to even speak clearly. “That’s enough to coax Xuanji but what makes you think I’ll be convinced?”
Lu Jinwen remained composed, his eyes slightly crinkled into a smile. It was as though he was implying that Lin Zhong was ignorant as he stated, “Two years later, I will become the most powerful business magnate in the Capital, no one is going to be above me.”
“…”
Everyone was stupefied again hearing his words. Lin Zhong’s face flushed red. He couldn’t see any form of ambitiousness in this man, he was too composed.
Just what kind of crazy powers was he hiding behind that calm and collected demeanor?
He really was… boasting without limits.
Lu Jinwen turned around to look in Lin Xuanji’s eyes. “From now onwards, you’re my fiancée. I’ll love you even more with every day that we are together, I’ll love you forever.”
He then leaned forward, planting a kiss on her forehead.
Lin Xuanji’s heart palpitated. She was suddenly reminded of the lot she had gotten at the temple the other day—-You’re making a scene while he just smiles, from now until forever.
