Exclusive Love: Pampered by the Scheming Tycoon-Chapter 28: A Party with Ulterior Motives

Even though she traveled back in time to three years ago because of a car accident, some things didn't unfold exactly the way she thought they would.

Perhaps her choices had changed everything.

Thus, she couldn't predict what harm the people around her might do to her next.

Ah, even if the events of this life and her past life couldn't overlap, there was one thing she knew—she was absolutely clear on who was good and who was bad.

Huo Anya wanted to throw her a celebration party, but surely that was just another excuse to set her up.

She didn't refuse because she wanted to see what more games Huo Anya was planning to play.

Another three days passed.

Gu Qianxi removed her cast; Lin Banxia officially regained her freedom.

In this week of feigned sickness, Huo Qinglin visited three times, but stayed for less than half an hour each time before leaving.

Her father, Lin Kunhuai, only came twice. As for her stepmother and stepsister, they didn't show their faces even once.

Lin Banxia didn't expect them to care about her anyway.

It was already afternoon by the time she was discharged.

Huo Qinglin himself came to pick her up and take her to the Huo Family estate.

The Huo Family's mansion was a sprawling estate of luxurious villas. All the descendants of the Huo Family lived there.

However, the villas weren't connected; instead, they were spaced far apart from one another.

Huo Anya chose her own backyard garden as the venue for the party.

She invited many young heirs and socialites, making the scene lively and bustling.

By the time Lin Banxia arrived, the atmosphere was already buzzing with excitement.

Huo Anya walked over with a bright smile: "Brother, did you bring your girlfriend here?"

Huo Qinglin nodded briefly but quickly pushed Huo Anya aside, warning her in a stern tone: "Don't cause trouble. If you ruin my plans, I won't let you off."

Huo Anya pouted playfully: "Brother, you don't have real feelings for her anyway. If I embarrass her today and then you turn around and comfort her, doesn't that just prove how genuine you are? This fool would rely on you even more and fall even harder for you."

Huo Qinglin thought about this for a moment—his sister's words did have some merit.

"Just don't go too far. Keep it within bounds." His tone implied tacit consent to her scheme.

Huo Anya curled her enchanting lips into a smug smile. "Don't worry, Brother. I know my limits."

Lin Banxia leaned against a nearby column, watching the siblings laughing and chatting not far away. She snorted coldly, guessing they were plotting yet another scheme against her.

Lin Banxia took out her phone and typed a message to send to Gu Qianxi.

She didn't have Yan Ting's number, but Gu Qianxi would probably relay the message for her.

She felt that man couldn't possibly let her fend for herself, right?

"Banxia, I have a meeting at the company. I'll leave Anya to keep you company today. Have fun." Huo Qinglin approached her, gently and elegantly brushing her hair, his attitude intimate and considerate.

"Alright, you go ahead and take care of your work!" Lin Banxia played the part of the caring and understanding girlfriend.

Before leaving, Huo Qinglin gave his sister one last meaningful look and quickened his steps.

Huo Anya wasted no time grabbing Lin Banxia's hand. "Sister-in-law, come with me. I'll introduce you to some friends."

Lin Banxia followed her graciously, pretending to be shy and reserved, her head lowered to give the impression of a timid and bashful personality.

Huo Anya patiently introduced all her friends one by one and then winked at a particular man.

The man immediately flashed a charming smile and approached with a glass of wine. "Miss Lin, it's such a pleasure to meet you. May I offer you a drink?"

Lin Banxia smiled instantly. "I'm sorry, I just recovered from an injury, so I can't drink alcohol."

"Ah, yes, yes. My sister-in-law's been injured, so no alcohol for her. Sister-in-law, have some juice instead." Huo Anya snapped her fingers, and a waiter promptly delivered a sweet glass of fruit juice.

Lin Banxia looked at the juice and took a gentle sip.

Seeing Lin Banxia's lack of wariness, Huo Anya felt a smug, cold laugh rise in her heart.
