Exclusive Love: Pampered by the Scheming Tycoon-Chapter 321 - 322: Revealing Her Identity
Huo Qinglin entered the venue together with his sister Huo Anya. The moment they walked in, Huo Anya immediately spotted Leng Weichen, who stood out distinctly among the crowd. Her face lit up with joy for a split second, but as soon as she noticed Lin Banxia standing beside him, her expression darkened almost ominously.
She yanked on her brother’s sleeve abruptly. "Look, I told you! That Lin Banxia is nothing but a shameless vixen. She’s actually standing next to my Brother Weichen—absolutely disgraceful!"
Huo Anya was about to explode with anger. She knew Leng Weichen was on the guest list for the event, which was why she had gone to such lengths to dress up tonight. She had imagined bumping into him at the banquet and using her beauty to capture his attention.
Tonight, she was dressed in a sheer white lace mermaid dress. The sleeveless design showcased her voluptuous figure confidently. Her hair, styled in loose waves, was casually draped over her back, exuding the aura of an elegant and carefree heiress.
Huo Qinglin, upon hearing his sister’s words, quickly looked in the same direction.
The sight before him made his blood run cold, and his entire body turned rigid.
The flattering and ingratiating remarks from the people surrounding them were now nothing but noise in the siblings’ ears.
In unison, they both strode swiftly toward Leng Weichen and Lin Banxia.
Lin Banxia cast a look of faint disdain at Huo Anya. When her gaze shifted to Huo Qinglin, her expression grew icy cold.
"Lin Banxia, what are you doing here? This is a banquet hosted by the Huo Family. You, a cast-off abandoned by the Huo Family—what right do you have to attend?" Huo Anya’s fiery temper erupted, her sharp words lashing out without restraint.
Sure enough, the onlookers who had gathered to watch the drama turned their shocked gazes toward Lin Banxia, whispering and pointing at her.
"Isn’t she the ex-wife of the Huo Family’s eldest son? Incredible, she’s actually very beautiful."
"That ex-wife sure has skills. In such a short time, she’s managed to snag the young master of the Leng Family too."
"She’s probably... well, exceptionally talented in certain areas, right? Otherwise, how could she capture the attention of two such outstanding men?"
Both the Huo siblings’ faces darkened like storm clouds.
Especially Huo Anya, who was seething with rage, barely holding back the urge to claw at Lin Banxia’s innocent and pretty face.
Huo Qinglin, on the other hand, was momentarily entranced as he laid eyes on Lin Banxia.
In the past, he had always despised her for being dowdy and unpolished, someone who couldn’t be presented in societal settings.
But now, under the tutelage of another man, she was radiant and dazzling—no longer the plain and insignificant woman he used to dismiss.
Huo Qinglin’s gaze was fixed on Lin Banxia, a mix of greed and astonishment in his eyes.
Leng Weichen, faced with Huo Anya’s loud and accusatory questioning, simply replied in a low and calm tone, "Banxia is my date tonight. Please show her some respect and courtesy—don’t tarnish your Huo Family upbringing."
Huo Anya was dumbfounded, hearing each word of Leng Weichen’s defense of Lin Banxia. Her face froze for a moment, before her eyes reddened, and tears began streaming down uncontrollably. Her heart had truly shattered into pieces.
Lin Banxia had always thought Huo Anya was too prideful to ever cry. But seeing her in such sadness and disappointment just now, she suddenly understood—no matter how proud a woman might be, when it came to the man she loved, she could still be vulnerable.
Watching her sister sobbing so pitifully, Huo Qinglin quickly handed her a tissue and said indifferently, "Alright, that’s enough. Stop crying—it’s embarrassing."
Huo Anya, her eyes swollen with resentment and fury, glared daggers at Lin Banxia, as if trying to warn her through sheer eye contact.
Yet Lin Banxia returned her gaze unwaveringly, neither afraid nor flinching. Finally, her attention shifted to Huo Qinglin.
Huo Qinglin was also watching her, and their gazes locked.
A wave of bittersweet sorrow swept through Lin Banxia’s heart. She remembered, in her past life, how Huo Qinglin had once brought her to a banquet, only to abandon her the moment they walked through the doors, choosing instead to flirt with other women.
