"The gifts you've sent are too precious," Ye Wan felt a pang of guilt. She had never intended to return to the Lin family. All she wanted was to leave with her brother once he recovered and she had the means to do so, never to come back here.
Therefore, she had nothing to offer them in return.
"Silly child, this is all you deserve. What we've given you is still far from enough," Mother Lin hugged the girl in front of her, her heart overcome with remorse.
"I also prepared a gown for you. Quickly try it on and see if it fits," Lin Zehan brought a beautiful, large box from the side. This was the gown he had meticulously chosen for Ye Wan.
Opening the box, Lin Zehan took out the gift. However, the magnificent garment instantly snapped in two. Lin Zehan's face darkened immediately. Without even asking, he knew who was responsible!
"This... how is it broken?" Mother Lin was also taken aback and quickly picked up the broken half from the floor.
"Do I even need to ask? I'll go find her!" Lin Zehan declared, intending to confront Lin Feiwei. Da Feng Novel Network
"Miss Ye, the driver who brought you asked me to give you this," a maid entered, holding a purple box.
Mother Lin had already stopped her son. Looking at the box in the maid's hands, she said, "It's a gown, isn't it? Since we have one, let's not make trouble for now. We can deal with it later."
Mother Lin did not want things to escalate.
"Brother, forget it." Ye Wan actually didn't care about wearing an expensive, luxurious gown at all. She felt her current outfit was perfectly fine. However, since Lin Feiwei was so determined that she shouldn't wear a gown, Ye Wan decided she would wear one precisely because of that.
Lin Zehan looked at her with excitement. Had he heard correctly? Ye Wan had called him brother just now?
Ye Wan took the box and went to change. When she emerged, she was a completely transformed person. The sleeveless red high-necked gown made her skin appear as white as snow. Despite not wearing any makeup, she was exquisitely beautiful to an extreme. Her delicate, palm-sized face was adorned with exquisite and stunning features. To say she was breathtaking would be no exaggeration.
As her brother, Lin Zehan was mesmerized. His heart skipped a beat. Ye Wan was truly a rare beauty in this world!
Mother Lin was even more astonished, but she also felt a touch of confusion. Ye Wan was too beautiful. Who did this child resemble?
A maid came to find Mother Lin with something to discuss, interrupting her thoughts. Lin Zehan walked over, took Ye Wan's hand, and spun her around. "You look beautiful."
Ye Wan smiled shyly and instinctively raised her hand to touch her neck. She hadn't expected Gu Yunting to be so thoughtful as to find a high-necked outfit to cover the scar on her neck.
Lin Zehan led Ye Wan downstairs, instantly stunning everyone. They all wondered who this girl was.
The Lin family had also invited many relatives today. Lin Zehan introduced Ye Wan to the assembled guests, and Ye Wan greeted them with a proper smile.
Fu Huaishen arrived, holding a large bouquet of red roses. He walked up to Ye Wan and presented the flowers, saying, "Girl, happy birthday!"
Ye Wan hadn't expected Fu Huaishen to come. Under everyone's watchful eyes, she accepted the roses he gave her. "Thank you."
On the other side, Lin Feiwei and her friends were all asking who Fu Huaishen was when they saw him. Not many people in Jing City knew of Fu Huaishen, but that didn't stop others from recognizing him as a scion of a prominent family. Especially with his exceptional looks, he drew the attention of the women.
Lin Feiwei was already infuriated when she saw Ye Wan make her stunning entrance in the gown. The gown her brother had prepared for her had been ruined by her own hands, so how did she get another one? Moreover, this gown made Ye Wan look even more spectacular, completely overshadowing her own carefully planned appearance.
