The crybaby nanny was bullied and cried again by her yandere husband.

Lin Zhao's gaze was also drawn to the woman's voice, and he subconsciously turned his head to look.

A woman dressed in a red haute couture gown, with exquisite makeup and graceful demeanor, stood beside Shang Yu. Needless to say, this woman was the protagonist of tonight's homecoming banquet, Miss Lin.

The surroundings fell silent for a moment, and many guests turned their heads, secretly waiting to see what would happen.

Everyone knows that a year ago, the news of Miss Lin pursuing love caused quite a stir. Now that she has suddenly returned to the country, many people are speculating whether she has come back for Shang Yu again.

Some even set up betting odds, waiting to see if Miss Lin would leave the country disappointed again tonight, or if Mr. Shang would win the beauty's heart.

What they didn't expect before the opening was that President Shang would bring a young master today. This is going to be quite a show!

Lin Zhao's heart leaped into her throat. Her fingertips instinctively tightened around Shang Yu's hand. She felt nervous, uneasy, and a little sore that she couldn't suppress it. Her mind went completely blank.

Miss Lin took two glasses of champagne from the waiter and handed them out promptly, her demeanor composed and familiar.

"Thank you for gracing my homecoming banquet today. I'd like to propose a toast to you."

Shang Yu's expression didn't change much; he simply raised his hand politely, accepted the wine glass, and nodded slightly.

"polite."

Miss Lin smiled and was about to turn and leave when her gaze fell on the young man beside him. She turned around and sat down next to him.

"It's been so long, Mr. Shang is still as quiet as ever. Aren't you going to introduce the person next to you?"

Lin Zhao subconsciously swallowed, gripping Shang Yu's hand even tighter. If he had only been a little suspicious just now...

Now we can be completely certain that this person is the Miss Lin they were talking about.

Lin Zhao glanced furtively at Miss Lin, a very beautiful girl with elegant and poised demeanor, exuding the air of a noblewoman from a wealthy family.

Compared to himself, an orphan who didn't even know where his parents were buried, it was like heaven and earth.

Shang Yu's hand hurt a little from being gripped. It was the first time he had realized that his Zhao Zhao was so strong. She looked up at him slightly and thought, "Hmm, she's quite jealous too."

The time was almost right. Shang Yu released Lin Zhao's hand, then naturally put his arm around his shoulder and introduced him.

"My beloved, Lin Zhao."

These few simple words stirred up quite a storm; those around who heard them were all in an uproar.

It's not uncommon, even quite normal, to like the same sex in certain circles. Which wealthy person doesn't have a few quirks? But ultimately, everyone eventually returns to a normal life; it's just something to do.

Especially for someone of his level, almost everyone assumed that he would eventually have a business marriage, but no one expected that he would directly admit to his face that the person he brought was his lover. Doesn't this directly block the path of a business marriage?

Now all eyes were on Lin Zhao. Even Shang Yu was no longer afraid and wanted to see what kind of person he was that made President Shang do this.

Lin Zhao hadn't expected him to say that in front of so many people, so she quickly tugged at his sleeve and whispered.

"Brother Ayu, you..."

Before he could finish speaking, Miss Lin interrupted him.

"A lover? That's rare. Someone like President Shang, would he even have a lover?"

Shang Yu reached out and took Lin Zhao's hand, patting it gently to reassure him before turning to look at Miss Lin.

Miss Lin witnessed the whole scene. Something flashed in her eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

"Miss Lin is joking. I'm just an ordinary person. It's normal to like someone."

Miss Lin smiled.

"Really? I thought Mr. Shang wouldn't like anyone. After all..."

She leaned closer to Shang Yu, but her eyes were fixed on Lin Zhao.

"I've been pursuing you for so long, and you've never even glanced at me. I never imagined you liked this type?"

Shang Yu frowned, pulled Lin Zhao back a little, and his tone turned cold.

"Miss Lin, please have some self-respect."

Miss Lin looked up at Shang Yu and chuckled softly.

"Look at you, so easily teased! What's wrong with me just glancing at you? Will I lose a piece of my flesh?"

Her gaze fell on Lin Zhao again, and she reached out her hand.

"Hello Lin Zhao, my name is Lin Yan, you can call me Xiao Yan."

Lin Zhao instantly became even more nervous and looked at Shang Yu somewhat awkwardly.

Only after receiving a nod of encouragement from Shang Yu did he cautiously raise his hand and gently place it on Shang Yu's shoulder.

Hello.

When he tried to pull back, Lin Yan suddenly gripped his hand tightly.

"Little brother, why are you so nervous? I'm not going to eat you!"

"Lin Yan!"

Shang Yu's voice suddenly turned cold, carrying a warning tone, and he directly reached out and grabbed Lin Zhao's hand back.

Lin Zhao stood there dumbfounded, completely unsure how to react. The next second, she heard Lin Yan suddenly burst out laughing, laughing heartily.

Lin Yan patted Shang Yu on the shoulder, and the latter took a step back. Lin Yan's smile froze, and she clapped her hands.

"How boring. Still the same old-fashioned and possessive person."

As soon as she finished speaking, she turned to look at the bewildered and adorable boy beside her, deliberately lowering her voice and teasing him with a hint of curiosity.

"Can you stand him?"

"what?"

The sudden question completely stunned Lin Zhao. This was not what he expected. Miss Lin's emotional changes were too sudden. How could she be so dignified one moment and laughing the next?

He tilted his head slightly, looking at Lin Yan with a somewhat blank expression.

Lin Yan was charmed by his reaction, shook her head, and looked at Shang Yu.

"Wow, you still have a sharp eye; you've found such a gem."

Shang Yu's expression darkened, and he tightened his grip on Lin Zhao's hand slightly.

"Miss Lin, don't you need to attend to other guests?"

The message to get rid of her was quite obvious, but Lin Yan pretended not to hear it and took a sip of champagne.

"No one else is as important as General Manager Shang."

As she spoke, her gaze fell on Lin Zhao, intentionally or unintentionally. She saw the boy lower his eyes slightly, unconsciously biting his lower lip, looking pitiful, which melted her heart.

Honestly, I don't know where Shang Yu got such good luck from, how come he always manages to find all the best treasures first!

Listening to their conversation and seeing Lin Yan's occasional glances at her, Lin Zhao felt increasingly uncomfortable and tugged at Shang Yu's sleeve.

"Brother Ayu, I need to go to the toilet."

Shang Yu nodded slightly.

"I'll go with you."

Lin Yan suddenly spoke up.

"I'll go with him. This is my home, I know it very well."

Just as Shang Yu was about to refuse, Lin Yan suddenly leaned down and whispered something in his ear. His eyes darkened, and he looked at Lin Zhao.

"Zhaozhao, go with her."

Lin Zhao frowned, looking at Shang Yu with some confusion.

The latter patted his back and nodded, a gesture of reassurance. Lin Zhao bit his lip, but ultimately listened to him.
