Chapter 737
The Shen family's furore has made the whole of the North House look at them sideways, and many people have had to reconsider their cooperation with the Shen family because of this incident.
At the same time, Lin Yan has also become a celebrity in front of the people of the North Mansion because of this incident.
Jiang Hao, with the help of Sally, managed to get himself out of this matter, but what he didn't expect was that some people with an eye on the matter had already known about it. But what he didn't expect was that some people with a heart had already known that he was behind this matter.
Even though Jiang Hao did not want to hide, being targeted by these people was not necessarily a good thing.
Time passed slowly and by the time it was almost the end of the year, Lin Yan had adjusted a little better.
The Lin family then celebrated for Lin Yan. The most surprising thing was that the first lady of the Tianzhu villa was even the first lady of the Tianzhu villa. The most surprising thing was that the first lady from the Tianzhu Villa had accepted the invitation.
Sally had been in the North Mansion for nearly three or four years, and during this time they had not interfered in all the affairs of the North Mansion.
This time, when dealing with the Shen family, Sally had come forward somewhat unexpectedly, which made a group of people from the upper echelons of the North House to take a fresh look at Sally.
If she is sure to intervene in these matters in the North House, then many people will have to reconsider their positions.
When the Lin family was in trouble, they were not shy about taking sides, and if Sally were to openly declare her position with the Lin family.
If Sally were to openly declare her support for the Lin family, their position would be in jeopardy, and the Lin family, with Sally's support, might end up pushing them out and supporting Sally's people to the top.
That's how the deal was struck, and they put themselves in the position of the Lin family anyway. If Sally wanted to do that.
They definitely didn't mind making such a deal either, and Sally was strong in her own right.
When Shen Wennian, who was sitting firmly in the first house in the Northern Province, heard this news, his face became a little lighter instead.
If Sally really intended to intervene in these matters in the Northern Province, he would have felt a little more relaxed, because when the time came, someone would definitely want to play some balancing act.
And Sally would have lost some of her strength in order to avoid such a situation.
But since she had agreed to do so in such a high profile manner, it proved that she would not just make a casual choice, which could not help but make Shen Wennian feel a little disappointed with Sally.
After Old Black found out about the Shen family's invitation to their own boss, he took his men two days in advance to map out all the places around a three-kilometre radius of the Lin family.
After all, the Shen family's roots were deep in the Northern Province, and what they did this time. What they had done this time had undoubtedly dealt a heavy blow to the Shen family.
If the Shen family was desperate to jump to the wall, then Old Black would really be blamed for his death!
As time slowly passed, it was getting closer and closer to the time of the Lin family's reception.
During this time Lin Yan was nominally recuperating, but in reality she was using her time to try and gradually pull the company back on track.
Lin Dong's fault was so great that his grandmother could no longer excuse him for a while.
So he had to reluctantly give up his position, and by the way, Lin Nan also simply handed over all the affairs of his men to Lin Yan.
On the one hand, it was because he could see that he was not as good as Lin Yan in handling these matters.
On the other hand, she had also come to understand. Lin Dong had always been unable to achieve anything, and if she continued to let Lin Dong go on like this.
Perhaps the Lin family would be defeated at his hands. And after this incident, no matter how reluctant he was, this position would have to be given up.
Just as the Lin Family was undergoing a full force change, the Shen Family in the Northern Province also suffered a power shuffle.
This reshuffle directly caused their prestige in the Northern Province to show a decline. Many people also realised that the Northern House Shen Family was not as powerful as they had thought.
Time passed slowly, and just as the banquet began, many of the gentry as well as Sally and the others arrived at the Lin family.
The old man of the Lin family was sitting on top of the lobby. He looked like a kind-eyed old maitreya.
Lin Yan, who was in a hurry, was standing in the lobby with a glass of wine, socialising with people from time to time.
Sally was undoubtedly the most striking in the room, and many people had been speculating in their minds what relationship this woman had with the Lin family.
Ning Kun, who has taken over the Xincheng Group, is also a dark horse. I am afraid that there are not many people in the Northern Province who can be recognised by Chen Jingdao.
Jiang Hao, on the other hand, wandered over and then handed in his invitation at the door and then entered the table as if he was a hungry ghost staring at the food he was devouring.
Many people couldn't help but look at Jiang Hao with a wisp of contempt in their eyes. However, when they thought that the other party was the number one divine doctor in the Northern Province, they did not bring their contempt with them.
Sally was entertaining the crowd. Most of the people were concerned about whether she would interfere with the affairs of the North House in the future.
On this point, Sally once again stressed her position. As long as she was not involved, she would not intervene at will.
But when those people observed the look on Sally and Lin Yan's faces. Inwardly, they could not help but feel a bit of envy and jealousy towards the Lin family.
After all, it was no easy task to find a backstage in the Northern Province that could rival the Shen family.
Although the Shen family did not come over this time, they still sent a gift to maintain the face-to-face relationship and left.
Lin Yan looked at the gifts sent by the Shen family and a trace of disgust passed over her brow.
Despite the fact that the Shen family had taken the blame this time, Lin Yan did not let this dislike for Shen Qing Shu go.
After declining some people's invitations, Lin Yan took Sally and then walked to the corner and sat down, then sighed with a slow breath, "It's so tiring to suddenly be in contact with these people."
Sally seemed to be used to such scenes, and after hearing Lin Yan's words she smiled and shook her head.
Holding a red wine glass in her hand, she gently shook it and said, "You'll get used to it later, after all, now that you've officially taken over the Lin Group, it's inevitable that you'll have to deal with them in the future."
After saying this, Sally took the opportunity to take a closer look at Lin Yan, smiled and shook her head before saying, "You're getting prettier and prettier, no wonder Chen Minggang is so crazy about you."
Lin Yan heard this and quickly reached out to cover Sally's mouth, then hurriedly looked around and said, "You're crazy! What if someone else hears you!"
Sally looked at Lin Yan with innocent eyes, then reached out and took Lin Yan's hand away and smiled, "Don't worry, this matter was handled well, no one will know the truth."
With that said, the two looked at each other and then laughed.
If it wasn't for Sally's words, the Lin family might have been dragged to death by the crazy Chen Jingdao if they were slightly careless this time.
Thinking of this, a hint of guilt flashed through Lin Yan's heart as she opened her mouth and asked, "How is old Mr. Chen Jingdao now?"
Chapter 738
Sally smiled, and after gently taking a sip of red wine shook her glass and spoke, "Of course it was as he said when he came back, and gave Xin Cheng to Ning Kun who followed him back."
After saying this, Sally watched a hint of a different colour flash across Lin Yan's face. So she continued to speak, "Of course, Ning Kun is a person who still remembers his old feelings and takes great care of Elder Chen."
As he was saying this, Ning Kun suddenly walked over with a glass of wine in his hand. Looking towards Lin Yan sitting with Sally.
He then stepped forward and laughed lightly twice and spoke, "I've been looking for you guys, but I didn't expect you to be hiding here."
Sally smiled and looked at Ning Kun and said, "Come and sit down for a while. What's wrong?"
Ning Kun, who had gone to sit down opposite Sally, smiled at Lin Yan and nodded before speaking, "Nothing much, I might ask you two to speak on stage later."
Lin Yan's face flushed at her words and she bowed her head in some panic and said, "What do I go up there to say, what is there to say."
"Why don't you have anything to say? You'll be the head of the Lin family from now on, your grandmother didn't even object to that."
Ning Kun still had accurate information on hand, regarding the Lin family's ascension to the throne, the Lin family's old grandmother had indeed not said anything.
To be more precise, she had also seen through it, to Lin Dong. She was also disappointed to the core this time.
Sally shrugged her shoulders and looked at Ning Kun and said, "What about me, what do I have to say, do I have to go up and announce my principles once more?"
Looking at Sally's somewhat helpless expression, Ning Kun smiled lightly and spoke back, "It can't be helped, you're just too oppressive to these people in the Northern Province right now, even the Shen family you can suppress."
"That's just because they think highly of me, I won't go up there and act like a monkey for them, don't worry."
A strange smile flashed across Ning Kun's face as he spoke, "That's up to you, in fact I reckon you'll be invited up later soon, where's Old Black?"
Sally told Ning Kun where he was. He watched him run off to find Old Black for a drink.
Lin Yan sat on the edge and carefully observed that there seemed to be some unspoken familiarity between Ning Kun and Sally.
So after hesitating for a moment, she looked at Sally and said, "You and Ning Kun, did you know each other before?"
"Hmm? Why would you say that?"
Sally looked at Lin Yan with some surprise and said, "You can't talk nonsense, I only met him during this collaboration."
Lin Yan shrugged before speaking, "I don't know, maybe it's because I feel like the two of you seem to know each other very well, maybe it's just my illusion."
The words had just fallen. Elder Lin's voice suddenly rang out from the other side of the stage.
"I am glad that everyone can come to the Lin family banquet this time, this time mainly to celebrate my granddaughter's escape from danger. Secondly, it is also to show gratitude to the community!"
Below the stage, a group of people raised their glasses in their hands upon hearing these words, gesturing distantly at Elder Lin.
Jiang Hao, who was wolfing down his food, relaxed after hearing these words. Then cracking his mouth open he picked up a bottle of red wine and held it aloft at Elder Lin.
While others were drinking from red wine glasses in a gentle manner, Jiang Hao had evolved to the realm of directly lifting the bottle and blowing it, causing many people around him to dodge a little.
And Elder Lin looked at Jiang Hao for a moment and raised his cup in a somewhat forbidding gesture, he was the one who knew the truth behind the curtain.
So naturally, he also knew. How much risk Jiang Hao had taken to save his granddaughter this time.
Soon after looking at Lin Yan, Elder Lin continued to smile, "Next, let's invite my most beloved granddaughter, Lin Yan, to say a few words for everyone."
Lin Yan sat down and looked at Master Lin with a bit of anxiety, Sally looked at Lin Yan and raised her glass and said, "Go on, let them really see you!"
Lin Yan closed her eyes and took a deep breath before standing up straight and walking onto the stage.
First, she bowed to Elder Lin. Only then did she take the microphone and look at the crowd on stage.
"I'm glad I'm safe to stand here now, here. I would like to thank everyone for their support of the Lin family during this time!"
Just as she finished saying this, Lin Yan suddenly saw an unexpected guest walk in at the front door. That was Chen Jingdao.
At this moment, although Chen Jingdao still looked like a celebrity, he had a few more hints of dishevelment.
After all, not everyone can bear the grief of losing a son in old age. Ning Kun, on the other hand, was following him with a calm expression.
Perhaps Chen Minggang was not considered a good person, but Chen Jingdao had always had a good reputation in the Northern Province.
Considering this, Lin Yan hesitated slightly, after all, Chen Minggang was already dead, so consider yourself doing it for old Mr Chen Jingdao.
"Secondly, the person I want to thank the most is Chen Minggang, if it wasn't for him, perhaps I would be dead now."
As she said this, Lin Yan quietly looked at old Mr. Chen Jingdao, a little sadness and a hint of unsearchable pity flashed in her eyes.
Chen Jingdao, for his part, looked at Lin Yan and nodded gently before closing his eyes, trying not to let his tears get wet.
Standing beside Chen Jingdao, Ning Kun said softly after noticing him close his eyes, "Do you want me to go over and ask Miss Lin to come over for a chat?"
Chen Jing Dao hesitated for a moment before extending his hand and shaking his head, "Forget it, this time it's not her fault, seeing her now, Ming Gang should be happy too."
Saying this, Chen Jing Dao shook his head before walking over to Elder Lin's side and then standing quietly in front of him.
"Old friend, I'll apologise to you for Yan'er for what happened this time."
Elder Lin looked at Chen Jingdao with slightly red eyes, so he couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.
Chen Jingdao, on the other hand, suddenly smiled and said, "It's alright, he just did what a man should do, I'm proud of him."
After saying that, the two old men sat down together in silence and drank wine without words.
Chen Jingdao had already fallen out with the Shen family in the North, and he would definitely not be able to return to the Shen family overseas.
In the future, he could only be a silent old man in the North, playing chess in the park and walking the paths he had taken with Chen Ming.
Watching the two old men sitting together drinking wine with each other, Lin Yan said a few words in a somewhat distracted manner and then retired.
Soon Ning Kun said something to the people backstage, and then Sally's name was called from the stage.
Sally raised an eyebrow before walking onto the stage without even putting down the glass she was holding, and then coughed lightly out of the corner of her eye.
"I think I may have misunderstood everyone with my actions this time, so here I am, re-emphasising."
Speaking here, Sally raised the cup in her hand and spoke, "I, Sally, will not interfere in matters between the Northern House families, but I am BFFs with Lin Yan, so this time it's just an aid based on friendship, so let's drink to Lin Yan!"
