Chapter 285 Don't Even Give Me a Red Envelope

As soon as Lin Xiao appeared, he became the focus of attention on the scene.

Looking at the surrounding attitude towards Lin Xiao, Lin Qi's face darkened.

Without squinting, Lin Xiao walked straight in the direction of Mr. Lin.

On the side, Gu Lishan watched Lin Xiao pay New Year's greetings to Mr. Lin, with a satisfied smile in his eyes. Nodding from time to time, complimenting the people around.

With that appearance, it seemed that Lin Xiao was treating Lin Xiao as his future son-in-law.

In fact, all the aristocratic families here, whoever has a girl of the right age in the family, would not want to marry the Lin family, and have a son-in-law like Lin Xiao.

But now that the Gu family's attitude is so obvious, Mr. Lin's attitude towards Gu Jiafan is different from his attitude towards the daughters of other aristocratic families.

No matter what the other aristocratic families are, they dare not show it.

If it is not done well, it will be a major event that has offended the two major families.

Seeing his grandson whom he hadn't seen for a long time, Mr. Lin was also very happy. After Lin Xiao paid New Year's greetings to him, he smiled and gave him a red envelope.

The cover of the red envelope is a soaring dragon.

Not long ago, Mr. Lin gave Gu Jiafan a red envelope, and the cover of that red envelope was a phoenix.

The guests present all noticed this information.

The old man sent out a lot of red envelopes today, but the red envelopes for Gu Jiafan and Lin Xiao were different from others.

The dragon and the phoenix are auspicious, and the old man gave these two different red envelopes separately, with obvious meanings.

The color on Gu Lishan's face became more and more colorful, and it even wiped away the unhappiness that Mr. Lin hadn't expressed in public just now.

Although, the old man didn't say anything, but giving such a meaningful red envelope at this moment, everyone can see it, and it's no different from expressing his opinion.

Gu Lishan thought so, and turned to look at his daughter.

Seeing Gu Jiafan standing there calmly, he was very happy.

His biological daughter is so outstanding, only Lin Xiao can match her.

As for the others... hum!

How could Gu Lishan not see Lin Qi being so attentive. It's just that he never took a fancy to Lin Qi from the beginning to the end. Although he is the eldest grandson, he comes from the incompetent second wife. Even having a sister who married into the royal family is nothing special.

After all, today's royal family is equivalent to a decoration, and the empire is now governed by the cabinet government. Although Lin Xiao has retired, he still has a high prestige in the cabinet government.

This is absolute strength!

Gu Jiafan stood in the distance, seemingly unaffected by favor or humiliation, but his eyes were always looking in Lin Xiao's direction, with brilliance in his eyes.

This was the first time she saw Lin Xiao like this.

Slightly clenched Huafeng's red envelope in his hand, a smile appeared on the corners of his bright red lips. Stepping forward generously, he said to Lin Xiao, "Speaking of which, I haven't thanked you yet. Last time I was in Jiangcheng for letting me stay with you."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Elder Lin again, "Grandpa Lin, when I was in Jiangcheng, Xiao took good care of me."

Such a familiar tone, such a natural demeanor.

Gu Jiafan's two short sentences seemed to have confirmed the relationship between Lin Xiao and her.

The two had been to Jiangcheng together, and Gu Jiafan still lived with Lin Xiao. Moreover, Lin Xiao took good care of her.

What else do you say? This is the rhythm of the prosperous wedding of the two families that will be held soon!

Mr. Lin chuckled, but didn't respond. But thinking in his heart, this girl from the Gu family still doesn't know Xiao'er very well.

What occasion, family face, these are not worth mentioning to Xiao'er, he doesn't pay attention to them at all.

Gu Jiafan's words brought a smile to Gu Lishan's face.

However, when Gu Lishan was happy, Lin Xiao's next actions somewhat made him unable to step down.

After Lin Xiao took the red envelope handed over by Old Master Lin, he turned around and gave the red envelope directly to Liu Dun, his entourage behind him, with a clear voice, "I'll share it with the brothers, and the old man rewarded it."

Liu Dun has followed Lin Xiao for many years, and he can basically understand it with just one look from his master.

Immediately took the red envelope, and shouted loudly, "Thank you, old man!"

Afterwards, the followers behind Liu Dun also shouted in unison, "Thank you, old man, for the reward!"

All of a sudden, a resounding echo resounded throughout the banquet hall.

The red envelope, which originally symbolized the prosperity of the dragon and the phoenix, was rewarded by Lin Xiao casually. At this moment, Gu Jiafan was still holding the red envelope of Huafeng.

Seeing Hualong's red envelope being kneaded back and forth in the hands of those rough men, Gu Jiafan could hardly control his expression.

Gu Lishan's originally smiling face suddenly sank, not very happy.

Mr. Lin sighed in his heart, and he knew that his grandson was not easy to fool. It's so shameless about a red envelope.

Fortunately, he didn't express his position in public just now, otherwise, the current Gu family would only be more embarrassing.

Mr. Lin had a smile on his face, and the ancient jade hanging on his chest, which symbolized the identity of the patriarch, exuded a delicate fragrance. He stepped forward, pulled Lin Xiao, and said as if nothing had happened, "Xiao'er, you are late, you are not here yet. Say hello to all uncles."

When Lin Xiao heard this, he nodded politely to the uncles around him, "Happy Chinese New Year, elders."

Among those present, no one could afford to have the speaker of the Lin family bow to pay New Year's greetings, except for Mr. Lin.

Even if Lin Youdao, as Lin Xiao's second uncle, he could only tolerate Lin Xiao's "elders".

When Lin Xiao came, there was no place for Lin Qi beside Mr. Lin.

"Grandpa, I still have some things to do. If there's nothing else to do here, I'll leave first."

Mr. Lin was stunned. He originally wanted to take this opportunity to let Lin Xiao and Gu Jiafan know more about it. But he didn't expect that before he finished speaking, he was about to leave.

"Let's go? Where are you going? Haven't you just arrived?" Mr. Lin was dissatisfied.

"That's right, third brother, it's fine if you're not here during the Chinese New Year. You finally came back on the second day of the Lunar New Year, and you're about to leave after showing your face. You really don't care about grandpa and the elder guests here." Lin Qi took the opportunity to interject.

Lin Xiao's eyes were slightly cold, and he glanced at Lin Qi.

Lin Qi, who was upright and confident, immediately shrank his head and stood behind his father Lin Youdao.

"Grandpa, then I'll go first." Lin Xiao said to Mr. Lin, and was about to leave after speaking. But when he turned around, he saw Lin Rong who was sitting on the side watching the excitement.

Lin Xiao paused, and beckoned to Lin Rong.

Seeing this, Lin Rong hurried over, "Hey, brother Xiao, happy Chinese New Year!"

"En." Lin Xiao nodded, and at this time Lin Youguang also came over. Seeing Lin Youguang, Lin Xiao nodded very humbly and said, "Third Uncle, Happy New Year."

Looking at the entire banquet hall, apart from Mr. Lin, only Lin Youguang, the third uncle, received Lin Xiao's courtesy.

Lin Youdao stood there, his old face burning hot. Gritting his back molars tightly, he cursed in his heart.

Although the third room of Lin's family looked very useless, they didn't have much self-motivation. However, it is because of their uniqueness that Lin Xiao, the talker, is so favored.

Naturally, the outside world and the Lin family will also look at her highly.
