The Villain Doesn’t Want To Get Entangled With the Beautiful Girl After Rebirth - Chapter 278



278. The Good Relationship Between Lin and Qin

Zhou Hui made a fool of herself. She thought she could elevate her own status by belittling Lin Nuo, but instead, she was besieged by a group of people.

She didn’t expect these girls to all side with Lin Nuo.

What benefits did they receive from him? Why are they all siding with him?

She couldn’t figure it out and could only sulk.

As for Lin Nuo, he was also puzzled. He had a sudden urge to confront the Zhou family, but Dai Sheng and another minister intervened, causing the Zhou family to back down.

Since they backed down, it would be pointless to continue the confrontation, so he returned to his corner to eat peanuts.

Peace brings wealth. Under Lin Yuan’s persuasion, everyone else returned to their seats.

The other girls kept an eye on Lin Nuo’s table to prevent anyone from causing him trouble.

The banquet soon began, and the kitchen staff gradually brought out delicious dishes.

Not only were there delicious dishes, but also fine wines. On such a festive day, drinking was inevitable.

The Lin family’s sons began to offer toasts to the various dignitaries, presenting them with great gifts.

Among them, the eldest son Lin Fei and the second son Lin Tong were the most active. They went from table to table, offering flattery, and naturally, the dignitaries at the tables would respond with kind words.

“Young Master Lin is promising, a pillar of the great Han nation.”

“Second Young Master Lin is a capable leader, quelling internal unrest and resisting foreign enemies, a great talent of the world!”

…

Praises for the Lin family’s sons echoed throughout the banquet. Lin Nuo, hiding in the corner and enjoying the food, neither offered toasts nor flattered anyone, so his reputation was unaffected.

In fact, there were people at the scene who knew of Lin Nuo’s deeds, but compared to those high-ranking officials, their status was lower.

Moreover, due to the influence of herd mentality and the fact that Lin Nuo was not favored in the Lin family, they knew that the main guests here were invited by Lin Fei and the others, so no one dared to praise Lin Nuo.

This was fine for Lin Nuo. He stayed in the corner, waiting for the Lin family’s grand celebration to end before leaving.

Lin Yuan, accompanied by several sons, offered toasts to the Qin family’s table. The head of the Qin family, Qin Shili’s father, Qin Zhu, raised his glass and offered blessings:

“May the Lin family grow stronger and be renowned throughout the world.”

“Thank you for your blessings, Brother Qin. Let’s have a drink.”

After drinking with Qin Zhu, Lin Yuan laughed heartily and said, “Ah, Brother Qin, our two families are both prominent households in the great Han nation. How wonderful it would be if we could form a strong alliance.”

“Brother Lin, aren’t we already cooperating?”

“Ah, I mean through marriage. If we could become in-laws, that would be a true alliance. You see, several of my sons are still unmarried. What do you think, Brother Qin?”

“Brother Lin, you really know how to joke. As for marriage, I must respect my daughter Shili’s wishes. However, I see that Shili currently has no one she fancies. She is focused on her cultivation, so let’s put this matter aside for now.”

Qin Zhu laughed, but at this moment, Qin Shili, who was beside him, spoke up:

From noble mtl dot com

“I agree with the union of the Lin and Qin families.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan was overjoyed and quickly said with a smile:

“Miss Qin, several young masters of the Lin family admire you. I wonder which one you fancy. Today is a day of great joy, and if we can facilitate a marriage, it would be a double blessing.”

Lin Yuan immediately signaled to his sons, who promptly stepped forward and politely greeted Qin Shili.

A beauty like Qin Shili, who looked like a fairy, was naturally the object of desire for these young masters. If they could marry Qin Shili, it would also benefit the Qin family, which would be a great thing.

They tried their best to show their elegance and demeanor, hoping to catch Qin Shili’s eye.

However, no matter how they presented themselves, they could not catch Qin Shili’s attention. In her eyes, they were unattractive and unappealing men.

Qin Shili said coldly:

“Sorry, I have no interest in any of the young masters.”

“Miss Qin, I don’t understand what you mean. These are the young masters of the Lin family. If none of them suit your fancy, how can we talk about the union of the Lin and Qin families?” Lin Yuan was puzzled.

“Master Lin, you are busy with important matters and have forgotten your most capable son.”

Qin Shili raised her wine glass and stood up, “Sorry, I must excuse myself for a moment. I need to toast him.”

With that, Qin Shili walked towards the servants’ corner.

In the servants’ corner, Lin Nuo was happily biting a large chicken leg and drinking Kehan water.

This was great. The best part of the banquet was that no one disturbed him, so he could enjoy the delicious food and the tasty and healthy Kehan water. How delightful!

“Lin Nuo.”

Qin Shili walked up behind Lin Nuo and lightly patted his shoulder.

Lin Nuo turned around and saw it was Qin Shili:

“What’s up?”

“A toast to you.”

“You can drink?”

“Yes, you just didn’t know.”

“Alright.”

Since Qin Shili had come to toast him, he naturally had to clink glasses with her.

At the banquet, it was just a formality. As long as it wasn’t some noble trying to disgust him, he could clink glasses.

Lin Nuo nonchalantly raised his glass and clinked it with Qin Shili’s, and they both drank it all in one go.

Qin Shili was quite straightforward, drinking it all without any blush on her face.

“Thank you.”

A slight smile appeared on Qin Shili’s cold face, like a warm spring breeze melting an iceberg, bringing everything back to life.

The rare smile of the ice beauty surprised not only the Lin and Qin families but also many who were watching Qin Shili, causing a moment of heart-pounding excitement.

“Thank you for nothing, just drink.”

To Lin Nuo, it didn’t feel like much. After clinking glasses with Qin Shili, he sat down and continued eating chicken legs and meat, drinking a few more glasses when he got excited.

“Young master, I’ll toast with you too~”

Li Ruo’er was still young and didn’t drink alcohol. She picked up a cup filled with tea and extended it towards Lin Nuo.

“You want to toast too? Sure, let’s toast.”

Lin Nuo clinked glasses with Li Ruo’er, drank it all in one go, and continued eating chicken legs and meat.

Meanwhile, at the Qin family’s table, Qin Shili returned with an empty wine glass, her face once again cold as ice. She said coldly:

“It’s him, Lin Qin’s good, I only choose him.”

“This…”

The Lin family members were shocked. Out of so many excellent young men, you didn’t choose any of them, but chose Lin Nuo?

Although this could promote the good relationship between the Lin and Qin families, Lin Yuan didn’t want this Lin family member to be Lin Nuo.

After all, he never thought highly of this son, and this son had just said to him, “Who represents your Lin family,” indicating he had rebellious intentions.

If this were to happen, his status in the Lin family would soar.

Qin Zhu, puzzled, asked Qin Shili:

“Shili, wasn’t Lin Nuo always pestering you before, and you didn’t think much of him? Why now?”

“The past is the past, now is now. In the past, I couldn’t see people clearly, but now I know what a high person he is. However, the good relationship between the Qin and Lin families depends on his willingness.”

“He will definitely agree. He has been pursuing you all along, he couldn’t ask for more.”

“Not so, it’s just an illusion.”

Qin Shili said meaningfully, leaving everyone shocked for a whole year.
