Picking Up a Gorgeous CEO for a Wife

716: Chapter 0716: Unperturbed by Favor or Disgrace 716: Chapter 0716: Unperturbed by Favor or Disgrace “Master Zhou, taking time out of your busy schedule to play chess with someone like me, I shall certainly keep you company to the end!” Tang Xiao also bowed his hands in respect.

Seeing how familiar Master Zhou and Tang Xiao were with each other, the people around looked at Lin Shiyin with eyes filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred, as most of them did not have the privilege to enter Jingzhai.

The gaze of the crowd made Lin Shiyin feel great!

She felt she had a lot of prestige!

No, that’s not right!

This time, she had regained both substance and face!

“The thing is, Shiyin is the daughter of Director Lin, and she admires Brother Feng’s culinary skills very much.

Brother Tang, could you possibly make an exception?

In addition…”

Master Zhou’s face turned red, damn it, how was he supposed to say this?

Apparently seeing the difficulty Master Zhou was in, Tang Xiao showed a bitter smile and said, “Master Zhou, it’s not that we aren’t giving you face, but as you know, the seats in Jingzhai are very scarce!

It’s really hard to squeeze out two seats!

How about this, during our chess game later, I’ll give you a knight advantage!”

Tang Xiao’s words saved Master Zhou’s face; even though he was refused, Master Zhou didn’t feel disgraced, and he grinned, “Alright!

Old Tang, don’t go back on your word!

The exchange between Tang Xiao and Master Zhou left Lin Shiyin completely stunned!

She still maintained her posture with her head held high, but now, in everyone’s eyes, Lin Shiyin was no longer the proud swan, but a clumsy duckling pretending to be a swan!

Lin Shiyin was very sensitive and immediately noticed that people’s gazes had changed again!

Lin Shiyin’s handsome face flushed red!

She couldn’t believe what she had just heard!

“Shiyin, don’t blame Uncle, I did my best.

You heard what the butler said, the spots in Jingzhai are limited, there’s nothing I could do,” Master Zhou said, looking at Lin Shiyin with apologetic eyes.

Considering the lofty status of Master Zhou, expressing apologies face to face diminished the amount of derision in the crowd’s gaze toward Lin Shiyin.

Lin Shiyin’s mood improved a bit.

Master Zhou’s apology made her feel as though she had regained some face.

After all, being a well-bred young lady, Lin Shiyin handled the situation quite well.

“How could I blame Uncle Zhou for this?

It’s just my lack of fortune.”

“Don’t worry, Shiyin, when there’s a chance, I will definitely take you to taste Brother Feng’s cooking.” Seeing how understanding Lin Shiyin was, Master Zhou said with a chuckle.

“Thank you, Uncle Zhou!” Lin Shiyin smiled sweetly.

It must be said, Lin Shiyin’s response was quite gracious, and people’s expressions toward her no longer contained contempt.

Indeed, within the whole of Luo City, which young lady could receive such a solemn promise from Master Zhou?

“Shen Qian, I’m really sorry!

The spots in Jingzhai are too limited!

Maybe next time!

When Uncle Zhou takes me next time, I’ll be sure to include you.”

Lin Shiyin looked at Shen Qian with a face full of regret.

Although Lin Shiyin’s pretentious behavior made Shen Qian uncomfortable, Shen Qian still nodded her head: “It’s okay.”

Qin Yu was also speechless, damn it, how can there be so many white lotus flowers in this world?

Lin Shiyin’s realm in the art of the white lotus was truly exceptional.

Despite wanting to show off her presence and superiority, she always put on an act as if she was considering others first, leaving Qin Yu speechless.

If it were the Qin Yu from a few years ago, he would certainly have made a call to Feng Yuqiong, asking her to arrange two spots in Jingzhai for him, even if there were no spots available, he would have insisted on making room!

However, after years of maturation, Qin Yu had become unfazed by honor or disgrace and was reluctant to stoop to the level of such pretenders, wouldn’t that lower his own value?
