The Ultimate Prodigal Son - Chapter 16

[Chapter 16: Open and secret struggles]

Ever since she met Lin Tian that day, Qin Wangshu has been thinking about him all the time.

After all, the poem that came out of her mouth that day was something she could not come up with no matter how hard she thought.

If it was just a one-time thing, Qin Wangshu could still treat it as a coincidence.

But after not seeing each other for a few days, Lin Tian’s changes were obviously earth-shaking. Not only did he grow taller, but his figure was also much more majestic.

“Brother, stop talking.” Qin Wangshu pulled Qin Wu’s sleeve and whispered.

For some reason, she subconsciously didn’t want Qin Wu and Lin Tian to argue.

“Humph! Slippery tongue!”

Qin Wu has always loved his sister, so after Qin Wangshu spoke, he stopped talking angrily.

But the dissatisfaction with Lin Tian that has been accumulated for a long time has made Qin Wu still have a great prejudice against Lin Tian.

“Dear guests, the banquet is about to start, please follow me inside.”

Lin Tian smiled and ignored Qin Wu. Just as they were about to leave, the servant outside the door of King Jing’s mansion came over.

Outside the gate, there were lights and decorations, and almost everyone who could be called by name in the three cities came to participate.

After all, they were royal family members, the most noble family in the world. Suddenly, a prince came, and who dared not go to his banquet.

There were also many children from commoner families gathered outside the gate, and the bustling world was divided into two.

Suddenly, a figure flashed by, and Lin Tian turned his head and raised his eyebrows. It was true that enemies would not meet again.

“Let’s go.”

Lin Tian raised his head and chest, and made a gesture. Lin Kang, who had been following him, naturally cheered up.

Both the master and the servant had outstanding temperaments, which attracted the attention of others.

Qin Wu snorted coldly and deliberately walked to the other side of Lin Tian, as if he was afraid of having any relationship with Lin Tian.

Several people went in one after another. Jingwang Mansion invited many people to the banquet this time. There were many big figures who Lin Tian had never seen but existed in his memory.

When he walked to his corresponding seat and sat down, Lin Tian found that his table was actually Wang He and several people, and even Zhu Zhengli was next door.

It was a narrow road.

Lin Tian closed his eyes and sat in a crooked position, not even giving Wang He a look.

It was not that he was trying to act like a dandy, but the chair was so hard that he naturally had to find the most comfortable position to make himself feel better.

Wang He looked at Lin Tian with disdain, thinking that Lin Tian would have an eye contact with him, but Lin Tian didn’t seem to see him at all!

Last time he sent someone to knock Lin Tian unconscious to get the IOU back, but failed. Wang He has been worried that he would be found out.

But after being frightened for several days, Lin Tian didn’t make any movement, so he realized that he was fooled by Lin Tian!

Wang He was angry and tried to speak up to Lin Tian several times, but he couldn’t find a chance to speak.

Just when Wang He was about to lose his temper, two more guests came to the table next to Zhu Zhengli, who happened to be Qin Wu and his sister.

Seeing the woman he liked, Wang He immediately ignored Lin Tian, scratching his head and thinking about how to strike up a conversation with the Qin brothers and sisters, preferably to show his presence in front of Qin Wangshu.

“Sitting at the same table with a waste, I’m afraid I can’t even eat!” Wang He suddenly spoke up, moving his chair to the side with a look of disgust.

Hearing that Qin Wu hated Lin Tian very much, he suddenly spoke up just to show that he and Qin Wu were on the same line.

But as soon as he spoke up, the atmosphere around him became cold, and everyone else was afraid to speak, sitting silently doing their own things.

No one dared to talk!

Everyone knew that Lin Tian had a good relationship with Wang He before, and the two were not brothers but as close as brothers.

But after the Qin family broke off the engagement, Wang He stopped associating with Lin Tian. Lin Tian was ambushed a few days ago, and Wang He did not go to visit him.

Others did not know about the conflict between the two, but everyone could see clearly what Wang He did on the surface.

At this time, Wang He openly slandered Lin Tian, which was obviously not a gentleman’s behavior. More or less, everyone present secretly decided in their hearts that they would stay away from Wang He in the future.

On the other hand, although Lin Tian still acted like a dandy, everyone was used to it, and he didn’t even open his eyes to Wang He’s slander.

Little did they know that Lin Tian just didn’t intend to pay attention to this stupid guy.

But in the eyes of others, Lin Tian was a manifestation of magnanimity.

“If Wang Shao is not used to it, there is still an empty seat at the table next to him.”

Just when the tip of a needle dropped to the ground, Lin Tian suddenly opened his eyes, smiled and said to Wang He, pointing to the empty table next to him.

That was a table prepared for emergencies, usually used to put some leftover dishes, or items brought by the young men and women of each family.

In this world, the barriers between men and women are not so great. Women can go out shopping casually, and there are many examples of divorced women remarrying.

And it is normal to have no separate seats for men and women at a banquet.

Lin Tian’s words are very reasonable. These seats are arranged, but Wang He is not satisfied.

To put it in a big way, he is dissatisfied with King Jing!

“How can you change the seats arranged by His Royal Highness King Jing at will? You idiot!” Wang He laughed at Lin Tian mercilessly as if he had heard a big joke.

But Lin Tian did not answer, but just looked at him with a smile in his eyes.

That look seemed to be saying: So you know.

But Wang He didn’t realize this at all, instead he was complacent, thinking that he was slightly better at apologizing to Lin Tian.

But he didn’t realize that everyone was watching his joke.

Zhu Zhengli sat in his seat without looking away, worried that Lin Tian would make fun of him about the poem he wrote that day, so he had a cold sweat on his back.

But unexpectedly, Lin Tian acted as if nothing had happened before and never mentioned it.

Even the look he gave him was so peaceful that it seemed like they were on good terms. Zhu Zhengli even wondered if Lin Tian had become a different person.

If Lin Tian knew what he was thinking, he would definitely give him a thumbs up for being a wise man.

“Okay, the banquet is about to start, why are you making such a fuss?”

Just as several people were thinking about their own things, the older-looking man at the next table stood up to appease the situation, and everyone realized that the seats were all full.

At this time, someone had already started to move at the main seat. Lin Tian looked up and saw a beautiful lady and a man, dressed in luxurious clothes, slowly walking up to the main seat.

The clothes on the two people were all very finely embroidered, and even a simple piece of clothing was made by the best embroiderer, which could be called exquisite.

Wang He was complacent at first, but when he saw the two people sitting in the main seat were so luxurious, he was stunned.

For a moment, he was full of thoughts, and even felt ashamed of himself.

But Lin Tian just glanced at them and looked away.
