Inheritance of Two Trillion

Chapter 1948: Chapter 1524: Watching from the Sidelines

Hong Wu brought Bai Xiaosheng to chat with a few business acquaintances in the banquet hall, also to make a display for Lin Chensheng.

From beginning to end, Bai Xiaosheng stood slightly behind Hong Wu, at an angle that made it look, to Lin Chensheng, as if Hong Wu was introducing Bai Xiaosheng to those people. But those chatting with Hong Wu would think Bai Xiaosheng was just her attendant, a follower.

To avoid attracting attention, Bai Xiaosheng behaved very modestly, with a contained aura. Plus, being so young, no one would think he was anyone significant.

At this moment, although Hong Wu had just entered the hall, she had actually arrived a while ago, merely waiting outside. Lin Weiwei, sitting next to Bai Xiaosheng, was constantly playing on her phone, but in reality, she was ”communicating” with Hong Wu via messages, notifying her of the optimal moment to act.

When Hong Wu appeared, she immediately drew the attention of many in the banquet hall, including Lin Chencheng and Lin Chenyu.

After all, Hong Wu was one of the most favored of her generation in the Hong Family, extremely capable, and held a few profitable enterprises in her hands. Even Lin Chencheng and Lin Chenyu valued her highly.

Lin Chencheng and Lin Chenyu even hurriedly wrapped up their dealings to approach Hong Wu one after the other, wanting to greet her.

Regarding the afternoon, at a small business meeting held by the Lin Family, Hong Wu publicly stated she would no longer be ”involved” with Lin Chensheng, which the two learned of subsequently, each holding different views.

For Lin Chenyu, it was not surprising. To her, Lin Chensheng was a good-for-nothing, not even worth being called an idiot; letting him into the Lin Corporation was a mistake. They should’ve just given him a monthly allowance to coast through life!

Hong Wu being interested in Lin Chensheng was considered Lin Chensheng’s greatest ”value,” as it could mean marriage ties with the Hong Family to solidify both families’ bonds, giving him some worth.

Unexpectedly, Lin Chensheng made Hong Wu declare in public that she had no further ties with him.

In Lin Chenyu’s eyes, Lin Chensheng was utterly useless, not even good for a marital alliance, unworthy of the Lin name!

So, upon arriving here today, Lin Chenyu publicly embarrassed Lin Chensheng, humiliating him in front of everyone, venting her extreme dissatisfaction with him.

As for Lin Chencheng, although he was a celebrated figure among the younger generation of the Lin Family, always in the spotlight, his ambitions were far greater than this.

Unknown to others, Lin Chencheng actually harbored jealousy towards Lin Chensheng for being favored by Hong Wu, and he too coveted Hong Wu!

First, Hong Wu was beautiful, her looks of a ”caliber” worthy of even being a trophy wife for him.

Besides, Hong Wu was the most cherished girl in the Hong Family; marrying her would certainly gain the Hong Family’s support, securing his place as the Lin Family Patriarch.

Moreover, Hong Wu was very talented in business, capable of aiding him in advancing his career!

That’s the reason Lin Chencheng coveted Hong Wu, even wishing to unite with her. Whether Hong Wu liked him and whether he loved her didn’t matter.

In Lin Chencheng’s view, as long as a woman could serve him happily and loyally, that’s sufficient.

Lin Chencheng’s thoughts beneath his polished exterior were far less dazzling than they seemed.

Upon hearing the news that Hong Wu had willingly ”given up” Lin Chensheng, Lin Chencheng was quite pleased.

Just as Lin Chencheng and Lin Chenyu were walking towards Hong Wu, they suddenly noticed someone rushing over too—

It was Lin Chensheng!

What on earth was that guy up to again?

Wasn’t he the one who always wanted to end things with Hong Wu, making such a storm about it? Now that Hong Wu had said she was giving up, what else did he intend to do, and in such a setting!

Could it be... he was thinking of causing a scene in public?!

Lin Chencheng and Lin Chenyu both frowned slightly, silently.

Among them, there was a faint hint of extreme displeasure in Lin Chencheng’s eyes.

At this instant, Hong Wu was smiling as she discussed cooperation with several business friends, when suddenly she noticed them looking behind her.

Then, Hong Wu heard a voice that tugged at her heart.

”Xiao Wu.”

At that moment, Hong Wu nearly couldn’t contain herself and turned around in excitement.

The Bai Xiaosheng behind her softly coughed, seemingly unintentionally, but it immediately awakened Hong Wu.

Bai Xiaosheng had indeed told her to follow his arrangements for everything.

The time is not yet ripe!

Hong Wu slightly parted her lips, quietly exhaled, calmed herself down, and then slowly turned back, her eyes quietly looking at the person behind her.

Bai Xiaosheng still stood by Hong Wu’s side, smiling as he looked at the approaching Lin Chensheng.

”Xiao, Xiao Wu.” Lin Chensheng stared at Hong Wu, stammering her name.

Lin Chensheng recalled how Hong Wu, a prestigious lady of the Hong Family, had once dared to cause a scene for him in the Lin Corporation, fighting without caring about appearances. Recalling her previous kindness, the little bits he had once overlooked or even been annoyed by, he truly regretted his past actions more and more.

Fueled by the impact of strong liquor, Lin Chensheng wanted to publicly ask for Hong Wu’s forgiveness and hoped to reconcile.

Lin Chensheng even gave Bai Xiaosheng a glance, filled with hostility, with a single phrase reflected in his full expression—”No one can take her away from me; you’d better give up on it!”

Bai Xiaosheng remained indifferent, for all of this was something he had planned. He was the one pulling the strings.
