"Do you have any sense of shame at all, acting like you’re already family before a word has been spoken." Ning Zihuan really wanted to pry open her mind and see what kind of mesmerizing concoction Yan Song had fed her, making her so devoted to him. Ji Yunya blinked and smiled softly: "What is a sense of shame? Can you eat it?" Check latest chapters at novel⟡fire.net "You...." Ning Zihuan turned his head angrily to the side. Sitting in the corner, like an outsider, she kept a careful eye on the hidden intrigues of the event. With Ning Zihuan, the grand overlord, present, no one dared approach her, leaving Yun Ya at ease. Suddenly, her eyes narrowed slightly. "Miss Lin, congratulations, the young girl is very pretty, and she will surely shine like Miss Lin in the future." The speaker was a young woman wearing a blue dress, with exquisite makeup and gracious temperament. She was Yam Hong, the daughter of the Yam family, who was somewhat renowned in the circle of socialites. The Yam family had good upbringing, and thus the Yam siblings had a good reputation, though recently the young master had been surrounded by scandals due to a model, for unknown reasons. "Thank you." Miss Lin Sili nodded politely with a smile. Yam Hong raised her hand to summon the wine attendant, casually taking two glasses of red wine, and handed one to Lin Sili: "Miss Lin has always been a woman I greatly admire, would you mind if I toasted you?" Having reached this point, as the host, Lin Sili would appear extremely rude if she did not accept. Casually taking it, she smiled and said: "No, it should be I who toasts you. Apologies for any oversight tonight, please be lenient." Yam Hong smiled and lightly clinked glasses with her. Amid the lively hubbub of the banquet, the crisp sound went unnoticed, yet for some reason, her heart skipped two beats. Receiving Ji Yunya’s glance, she looked at the red wine in her hand, her gaze gradually turning deep. "Miss Lin? What’s wrong?" Yam Hong asked in confusion. Lin Sili smiled, raised her hand to rub her brow: "I’ve been unwell these last few days, the doctor told me to avoid alcohol, and I somehow forgot..." "Sister, did you really forget, or do you simply not want to give Miss Yam any face?" A sharp, sarcastic voice suddenly chimed in as Lin Qianqian sauntered over. Lin Sili’s gaze turned cold, confirming even more that there was something wrong with this glass of wine. Unperturbed, she smiled and said: "Qianqian, you misunderstood me. After giving birth to Anan, I was left with many ailments, constantly having headaches and fevers. Did you perhaps forget?" If she had forgotten, it would mean she didn’t care about her sister’s health. Lin Qianqian secretly gritted her teeth and smiled: "Sister, how could I forget? It’s just that since Miss Yam already opened the invitation, if Sister refused, where would Miss Yam’s face be? Right, Miss Yam?" She finished speaking and raised her eyebrow to look at Yam Hong. "Even if Sister only makes a small gesture, it would prevent people from thinking... Our Lin Family neglected the guest." Lin Qianqian smiled at Lin Sili, the malicious humor buried within her eyes, though she failed to conceal it in her excessive arrogance. With dark eyes, Lin Sili held coldness in her heart, while her expression grew even more gentle: "Of course, this face must be given." Under Lin Qianqian’s expectant gaze, she raised the wine glass at a distance, touched it lightly to her lips as if skimming water... Suddenly she coughed and choked... She took out a handkerchief and gently wiped her mouth. "Sister, that’s how it should be, a sip of wine won’t kill you, and it gives Miss Yam face." Like a peacock flaunting its feathers, the pride in her eyes couldn’t be hidden. Lin Sili coldly sneered in her heart, "Qianqian, lest we slight Miss Yam, why don’t you toast Miss Yam, as an apology on my behalf for the disrespect earlier." As the cup returned to the wine tray, it discreetly changed position. "Sure." To show her magnanimity, she quickly picked up a glass from the tray. She had clearly seen Lin Sili put the glass back, confident that the position was different from the one in her hand, therefore she raised the glass to Yam Hong with peace of mind. "Miss Yam, apologies." Yam Hong’s eyes narrowed slightly and she smiled imperceptibly, gently raising her glass. The wine attendant wanted to say something but was stopped by Lin Sili’s sharp glare. That sudden fierceness startled the wine attendant, and in that moment, the eager Lin Qianqian had already finished the glass of red wine completely. The wine attendant had just spotted Lin Sili’s subtle move and wanted to warn Lin Qianqian, though unaware of the exact issue with the wine, he knew it was problematic. But now the wine was drunk, what to do...
