Chapter 240: She is not my granddaughter

After participating in the International Artificial Intelligence Conference, two or three days later, after Rong Ci got off work in the evening, she went to the hotel to attend the wedding banquet of her aunt's nephew.

Arriving at the hotel, Rong Ci entered the elevator, and just as the elevator door was about to close, she suddenly heard someone say: "Wait a moment."

When the person spoke, they also reached out to block the elevator door from closing.

Seeing the person clearly, Rong Ci's eyes flashed.

Lin Che was also quite surprised when he saw that the person in the elevator was Rong Ci.

Although he and Rong Ci had only met a few times, and the last time they met was already two or three months ago.

But he still remembered Rong Ci.

He nodded toward Rong Ci, at this time, Grandma Lin's figure also appeared at the elevator entrance.

Seeing her, Grandma Lin was also a bit surprised.

But soon she withdrew her line of sight, as if she didn't know her, and entered the elevator.

Lin Che was just about to press the elevator floor, but found that the button for the 18th floor had already been pressed by someone.

In his view, Rong Ci could also be considered an acquaintance, he turned his head with a smile, wanting to talk to Rong Ci, Rong Ci saw his intention, turned her head away with a cold face.

Lin Che was stunned.

Rong Ci's attitude of refusing to talk was so obvious, Lin Che didn't speak.

Lin Che hugged Grandma Lin's shoulder intimately, Grandma Lin smiled and patted his hand lightly.

Rong Ci watched from the side, silent.

Soon, the elevator arrived at the 18th floor.

Just as the elevator door opened, a noisy sound came from outside.

Rong Ci followed behind Grandma Lin and Lin Che and walked out of the elevator, only to find that the lobby on the 18th floor was blocked with people, Lin Lihai and Sun Yueqing were both dressed in grand attire, standing beside the reception desk, receiving guests who came to attend Grandma Lin's birthday banquet.

Yes, today was Grandma Lin's 70th birthday.

Grandma Lin just appeared, and someone noticed her, and immediately greeted her: "Look, our birthday star today is here."

Someone also saw Rong Ci behind her.

Seeing her outstanding appearance and dignified demeanor, they couldn't help but brighten their eyes, and said: "Old lady, this must be your granddaughter, right? Oh my, no wonder she can fascinate the most outstanding young talents in Ducheng, she looks so beautiful, and she also has a bit of your charm back then, you are really blessed."

Rong Ci wanted to leave immediately, but there were too many people blocked on this side, and she couldn't cross them to leave immediately.

The Sun family and Lin Lihai and the others were not far away.

Seeing Rong Ci and Grandma Lin, and Lin Che arriving at the same time, they were all quite surprised.

In an instant, they all thought that Grandma Lin had invited Rong Ci to attend her birthday banquet.

However, how could this be possible?

Thinking of this, they quickly reacted, Rong Ci should be going to the next room to attend the wedding banquet.

There was also a dedicated elevator next door, but people who came to this side of the hotel for the first time didn't know the hotel layout, and some people walked the wrong way.

Such a situation had already appeared several times just now.

Hearing that person say she had Grandma Lin's charm back then, Rong Ci immediately sank her face, just about to speak, Grandma Lin said in a light tone: "You recognized the wrong person, she is not my granddaughter, I don't know her."

When Grandma Lin's voice sounded, Feng Tingshen and Lin Wu happened to walk out of the elevator.

Just as Old Lady Lin's voice rose, Feng Tingshen and Lin Wu happened to walk out of the elevator.

Someone saw Lin Wu and immediately recognized her, saying, "Oh my, what kind of look is that on your faces? This is the old lady's real granddaughter."

Everyone turned their gaze toward Lin Wu and Feng Tingshen.

Seeing that both of them were outstanding in appearance and looked very well-matched standing together, and adding in their identities, the surrounding guests hurriedly smiled and flattered, "My, as expected of a student of a scientific titan; this bearing is truly something an ordinary person cannot compare to."

"Isn't that the truth."

Ren Jifeng and Qi Yuming were also there.

They did not know about the grievances between Rong Ci and the Lin and Sun families, so they had no particular reaction upon hearing Old Lady Lin say the guests had mistaken the person.

Lin Lihai and Lin Lilan listened, and neither of them spoke up to say anything for Rong Ci.

Sun Liyao watched it all, feeling very satisfied in her heart.

Jian Nian watched and wanted to speak, but with so many people around, she did not dare to open her mouth and lowered her head.

At this moment, Old Lady Rong, Rong Xun, and Rong Yunhe also walked out of the elevator.

"Cousin?"

As soon as they stepped out of the elevator and saw so many people, Rong Xun and Rong Yunhe had not yet had time to react before they saw Rong Ci not far away, about to leave.

Hearing Rong Yunhe's voice, Rong Ci turned her head and saw her grandmother and her younger brother and sister.

Soon, Rong Yunhe and Old Lady Rong and the others also saw Feng Tingshen.

But Old Lady Rong also saw Lin Lihai, Sun Yueqing, Old Lady Lin, and the others at the same time.

Rong Ci pursed her lips, turned around, and walked back to Old Lady Rong's side, supporting her as she said, "Grandmother, the wedding banquet is over there."

For this birthday, Old Lady Lin had also invited a portion of the relatives, friends, and dignitaries from Y City.

Among these people, a portion knew of the grievances between the Lin family and the Rong family.

Although they had not seen Old Lady Rong for a long time, the moment they saw her, they immediately recognized her.

Hearing Rong Ci call Old Lady Rong grandmother, and seeing that Rong Ci also looked to be twenty-five or twenty-six years old, they quickly realized that this young girl with the outstanding appearance before them must be Old Lady Lin's other granddaughter.

It was just that this granddaughter of Old Lady Lin had never appeared in the Lin family again after her son divorced his first wife.

Previously, they had heard that after her son married his second wife, Old Lady Lin did not even want her previous granddaughter anymore.

Before, they had thought it was just a rumor.

But just now, seeing Old Lady Lin's cold and indifferent expression toward that girl, they realized that it really did not seem to be a rumor.

What's more, Lin Lihai, the biological father, was also at the scene, yet he didn't say a single word.

It seemed he also had no intention of acknowledging this daughter.

Back then, when Lin Lihai insisted on divorcing the daughter of the Rong family, who was his social equal, to marry a girl from a poor family, they had all actually thought he had lost his mind.

However, so many years had passed, and they heard that the Rong family had been on the verge of bankruptcy for years and had long since lost their former glory.

But the Lin family, relying on the granddaughter born from the belly of that girl from a poor family, had risen to the top in one step and achieved a true class leap.

They heard that Old Lady Lin's grandson was also very outstanding.

Looking at the prosperity of the Lin family now, and comparing it to the current decline of the Rong family, everyone suddenly realized that the choice Old Lady Lin and Lin Lihai made back then was truly the correct one.

It was precisely because the Lin family was now infinitely glorious that these people, upon receiving invitations, had traveled thousands of miles from Y City to attend Old Lady Lin's birthday banquet.

Besides them, there was also a group of dignitaries from the highest circles of Y City who had come over.

These dignitaries were not people they or the Lin family could have reached before.

Yet, these dignitaries gave the Lin family face today; even though they had no friendship with the Lin family, after receiving the invitation, they actually made a special trip from Y City, which could be said to have given the Lin family plenty of face.
