Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 880: Chapter 880 An Unintentional Blow is the Most Lethal

”Come, everyone, sit down and chat!” Lin Yu said with a smile to Bai Xiaosheng and the other two.

Actually, what he really wanted was to have a private chat with his junior, Su Lingyu.

It was just that, at the moment, Su Lingyu wasn’t alone, so naturally, he couldn’t just ask Bai Xiaosheng and Jiang Yue to leave.

”Sure.”

Bai Xiaosheng smiled. He noticed that the other man was interested in Su Lingyu, and that Su Lingyu was not interested in him, so he felt no need to leave.

Bai Xiaosheng and Lin Yu sat facing each other.

After sitting down, Lin Yu smiled and looked up, then his smile stiffened.

There sat Bai Xiaosheng, with Jiang Yue on his left and Su Lingyu on his right, both women quite close to him.

Then he looked at himself, all alone.

Lin Yu felt somewhat uncomfortable inside.

But he was well-cultured. No matter what he thought inside, his expression remained calm, and he nodded politely at Bai Xiaosheng and Jiang Yue, then smiled at Su Lingyu.

At this moment, he was eager to speak with Su Lingyu, to quench his years of longing.

”Lingyu, how have you been these years, alright?” Lin Yu asked, suppressing his emotions, with a smile.

This greeting made Jiang Yue purse her lips and quickly pretended to drink to cover it up.

Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but take a sip of his drink, too.

The words sounded like something out of a romance drama, where the male and female leads speak after many years of separation, the kind who had ”loved” each other in the past.

Su Lingyu smiled lightly and very politely replied, ”Well, I’ve been fine. I just didn’t join a big company or pursue a career path, but work as a clerk in a small company, and it’s quite nice. You must find it amusing, senior.”

Su Lingyu’s reply was incredibly adroit; without correcting or avoiding, she naturally shifted the concept, turning Lin Yu’s personal concern into a concern for her career.

Lin Yu nodded with a smile.

In reality, Su Lingyu was avoiding the subject.

He caught this, of course, and felt even more uncomfortable inside.

Back then, if he had been willing to take that step, maybe things wouldn’t be this way.

And now, with his accomplished career and esteemed status, facing the person he liked gave him a sense of being close yet worlds apart.

Lin Yu watched as Su Lingyu glanced at Bai Xiaosheng and felt a sudden chill in his heart.

He truly had lost his composure, not even knowing if Su Lingyu was married or had a boyfriend!

Could it be this person?

Lin Yu couldn’t help but glance at Bai Xiaosheng, and with forced casualness smiled at Su Lingyu, pointing at them, ”What’s, what’s your relationship with each other?”

Lin Yu was extremely anxious, dreading to hear Su Lingyu say that Bai Xiaosheng was her husband or boyfriend.

”Just friends!” Jiang Yue blurted out quickly, ”Xiaoyu is still single, with no boyfriend! Senior, are you single as well?”

”Yes, I am single!” Lin Yu was suddenly a bit excited.

Jiang Yue smirked with a meaningful smile.

Bai Xiaosheng felt that he couldn’t join in the conversation and continued to silently drink.

Su Lingyu quietly glared at Jiang Yue, who winked mischievously at her when no one was looking.

”Does Senior Lin Yu not have someone he likes?” Su Lingyu asked leisurely.

”No!” Lin Yu replied hastily.

Su Lingyu smiled faintly, sipped a little drink, letting the liquor gently soak her tongue, and then said slowly, ”I do!”

As she spoke, she glanced at Bai Xiaosheng, seemingly unintentionally.

With just those two words and a ”casual” look, Lin Yu’s heart plunged from heaven to hell, his smile now somewhat strained, and his gaze at Bai Xiaosheng carried a hint of something different.

After all, for Officer Lin to have reached such career heights, his control over his emotions was definitely beyond ordinary.

But now, he was struggling to maintain that control.

Bai Xiaosheng, too, noticed this scene and wanted to explain, but felt it was inappropriate, as it would leave Su Lingyu in an awkward position.

”Forget it, it’s not my fault to be liked by others, after all,” Bai Xiaosheng comforted himself in his heart. ”Senior Lin Yu doesn’t seem to be the type of person who would take his anger out on me.”

In just a few moments, Lin Yu had regained his composure, his expression and smile returning to calm.

As they spoke here, over there Lei Ying and Lin Weiwei were already being welcomed in by Zhang Kai and others, like stars surrounded by the moon.

Lin Yu did not see them.

At the moment, he was in no mood to meet with Officer Bai Xiaosheng.

Lin Yu’s two assistants, one male and one female, were also at the reception.

The male was named Gao Peng, and the female, Liu Yan.

They watched the entrance closely.

Seeing Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying being welcomed in, they both were taken aback, even exchanging surprised glances.

Weren’t they just two of the group they had encountered dining here two days ago!

”I didn’t expect them... to be part of our affairs department!” Gao Peng exclaimed in surprise.

Liu Yan pondered, ”That day, they were attendants for someone else! And today, they came with Officer Bai Xiaosheng. Could it be...”

With her comment, Gao Peng’s eyes also narrowed.

Gao Peng couldn’t help but exchange a look with her.

That young man they saw that day was Officer Bai Xiaosheng!

”No wonder! Even Grand Affairs Officer Shen Peisheng can’t stop praising him! He’s not an ordinary character!” Gao Peng said in a lowered voice.

”But I haven’t seen Officer Bai Xiaosheng appear,” Liu Yan said.

”After all, Yunfeng Business Management, even as the leading company in the city, is an ordinary player compared to provincial enterprises. And if you compare it with all the regional industrial groups, or with national businesses, then it probably counts for very little. Do they really need an affairs officer to investigate it in person, let alone the fact that Officer Bai Xiaosheng is such an extraordinary presence!” Gao Peng couldn’t help but say.

Just hearing about Officer Bai Xiaosheng’s accomplishments made him admire, feeling that even Officer Lin Yu could be his equal!

”Now is not the time to be astonished; we should hurry and tell Officer Lin!” Liu Yan said.

Gao Peng nodded.

The two of them were about to go over when they both stopped in their tracks, staring in astonishment at the other side.

”The one sitting opposite Officer Lin, isn’t that...”

”Officer Bai Xiaosheng!”

The two of them were shocked.

They had thought Officer Bai Xiaosheng would not appear, but there he was, having arrived at the venue early just like them.

Now, he was sitting with Lin Yu.

”Do we still go over now...”

”Do you think it’s still necessary...”

After a moment of contemplation, they each got a new glass of wine.

Better not to disturb the two big shots.

There, Lin Yu adjusted his mood inwardly, comforting himself that just being liked means nothing. Didn’t he see the guy opposite showing no reaction at all?

That implies...

He doesn’t like Su Lingyu? What right does he have not to like Su Lingyu!

The thought alone made Lin Yu’s mood explode with agitation!

In his eyes, Su Lingyu was gentle and kind, talented above all, a gem among women. Yet that guy didn’t like her?

Also, what’s up with the woman next to him? Why does she seem so close to him too?

Lin Yu glanced at Jiang Yue.

It seemed both women had an interest in this kid, yet this kid...

Remained completely indifferent!

The calm in Lin Yu’s heart shattered instantly into tiny fragments.

He felt an unprecedented blow to his life, along with a deep sense of defeat!
