"Bingbing, you finally made it!" The Second Young Master of Shyr, Shi Xindi, was entertaining guests when he spotted Lin Bingbing arriving, looking exceptionally beautiful tonight. He hurried over to greet her.
Shi Xindi's father, Shi Shengguang, his mother, older brother Shi Xinquan, and younger sister Shi Ning all approached as well.
"Sister-in-law, you look stunning!" Shi Ning exclaimed with a grin upon seeing Lin Bingbing. This girl had been practicing dance behind the old man and shared a personality somewhat similar to Lin Yin. When Jiang Chen visited the Shyr family, Shi Ning had even shouted that she wanted to challenge him to a duel.
"Miss Shi, please don't misunderstand; I'm not your sister-in-law," Lin Bingbing said with a slight frown.
"You and my second brother are getting engaged tonight, so naturally, you are my sister-in-law," Shi Ning replied cheerfully.
"I'm not here to get engaged to your second brother. I hope you all will withdraw the betrothal gifts; I will not marry Shi Xindi," Lin Bingbing stated calmly, unafraid because Jiang Chen was just outside.
Her words stunned everyone present. Even the Shi family looked shocked; they never expected Lin Bingbing would come here just to say something like that publicly. The Shyr family was one of the top aristocratic families in Yulu City. No matter how beautiful Lin Bingbing was, she was just a movie star. Marrying into the Shyr family would be a blessing for her, yet she showed such disrespect. This infuriated the Shi family.
Lin Bingbing's family turned pale with fear; they never imagined she would dare to speak like this in front of the Shi family.
"Master Zhao, Master Zhao, Bingbing is just joking; please don't take it seriously," Lin Bingbing's mother quickly interjected as she noticed Shi Shengguang's expression darkening.
"Joking? Is this kind of joke amusing?" Shi Shengguang's gaze was grim, clearly displeased.
"I'm not joking at all. I simply don't like Shi Xindi; why would I marry him? Besides, someone has said that Shi Xindi is not worthy of me," Lin Bingbing boldly declared again.
Lin Bingbing considered herself Jiang Chen's woman. Even if Jiang Chen didn't like her back, she was willing to remain loyal to him for life. She wouldn't even glance at other men. If Jiang Chen said Shi Xindi wasn't worthy of her, then he truly wasn't.
"You're just a movie star! So what if you're a top-tier star? Ha! My son isn't worthy of you? What do you take the Shyr family for?" Shi Shengguang was furious. As the chairman of the Shyr family group, he was usually respected. Today, however, he was publicly belittled by a movie star. His face darkened with anger.
No matter how inadequate his son might be, he was still Shi Shengguang's son and wouldn't tolerate others' judgments.
The guests watching were taken aback by this unexpected drama and held their breath. Many men had already sided with Lin Bingbing; it seemed a pity for her to marry such a wastrel as Shi Xindi—if she didn't marry him, they still had a chance.
As the male lead of the evening, Shi Xindi initially thought Lin Bingbing had come dressed up to impress him but was shocked to find out she had come to slap him in the face instead.
Having navigated romantic entanglements for years without issue, he never expected to be humiliated like this today. The indignation boiled within him as he gritted his teeth in frustration; his glare could have pierced through Lin Bingbing.
"Lin Bingbing, it's your fortune that I have my eyes on you! Don't be ungrateful! Moreover, two years ago your family accepted my betrothal gifts—a villa worth tens of millions and thirty million in cash! Now you want to back out? Ha! Not happening!" Shi Xindi's voice was cold as ice.
