Chapter 1065: Coming of Age Ceremony (1)

The maid answered with a shaky voice. “Old Master, Second Miss did not get a chance to speak to Second Young Master Jun in the temple earlier.”

“What?” Lin Zhong’s entire face turned into a grimace.

Meilan waved her hand. “You may leave.”

“Yes, Madam.” The maid left.

“Old Master.” Meilan swayed her hips, holding onto Lin Zhong’s arm, practically sticking her body to his. “Second Young Master Jun is the overlord of Karghalik and he has such good looks. Countless socialites would die to marry him, if Xuanji were to have Second Young Master fall for her and eventually marry him to become the young madam of the Jun family, our businesses would be tied together in the future. There would only be countless benefits for us.”

Lin Zhong had the exact same thoughts in his mind. He had wanted to marry Lin Xuanji to Jun Mosheng since a long time ago, in order to profit from their marriage and benefit from the Jun family.

“I don’t know what’s wrong with this Xuanji, she’s such a disappointment. How could she not even talk to Second Young Master Jun at all.” Lin Zhong was furious.

“Old Master, don’t be too agitated. I have an idea.”

“What idea? Tell me.”

“Old Master, it’s going to be Xuanyin and Xuanji’s coming of age ceremony in two days. Second Young Master Jun is sure to appear on that day. We can intoxicate Xuanji with alcohol and send her onto Second Young Master Jun’s bed. Next, we can barge into the room and catch him in the act. By that time, all our visitors would have found out about their affair and it’s going to be set. Then Second Young Master Jun can only marry Xuanji.”

Once Lin Zhong heard her idea, his eyes lit up as he hugged Meilan. “I can’t believe you’re not only good in bed, but also full of ideas and very intelligent.”

“Old Master,” Meilan called him coquettishly, “I’ve noticed that Xuanyin and that poor footman are quite close, I hope they are not going to do anything foolish.”

Lin Zhong didn’t give a d.a.m.n about that poor footman at all. “I know Xuanyin very well, she will never lay her eyes on that poor fellow. I’ll give orders for that footman to be chased out later. Who is he even, how dare he covet my daughter?”

Lu Jinwen heard all those words of his clearly as he stood outside. It seemed that even in this second lifetime, Lin Zhong was still a fan of selling his daughters out. The man would never change.

He was going to send Xuanji onto Jun Mosheng’s bed during the coming of age ceremony that was in two days’ time?

Lu Jinwen slowly raised the corners of his lips into a cold smirk…

…

Lin Xuanyin and Lin Xuanji were still attending high school. It was going to be the national college entrance examination in just two weeks.

After school ended, Lin Xuanyin was surrounded by her close friends. Those girls were all daughters of established families in Karghalik. They looked around, searching for that one person. “Xuanyin, where’s your footman? Why didn’t he follow you today?”

At the mention of the footman, Lin Xuanyin showed some jealousy and a little sadness on her face. He had left last night.

She didn’t even know where he had gone.

She suddenly heard a commotion. Lin Xuanyin lifted her eyes to see Lin Xuanji and Huo Yanmei.

Lin Xuanji and the eldest daughter of the Huo family, Huo Yanmei, were the known beauties of their school. Once they stepped out of school many people would surround them.

“Xuanji.” Lin Xuanyin quickly went in front, asking, “Do you know where Ah Hu went?”

Lin Xuanji knitted her brows. That man…

“Sister, I don’t know where he went.”

Lin Xuanyin let out a contemptuous snort. She was convinced that Lin Xuanji had seduced Ah Hu. “Ah Hu doesn’t have a single cent on him, he will eventually die of hunger outside. Since he fancies you, I should let you have him, I don’t care for such a poor fellow.”

With an affronted look on her face, Lin Xuanyin then left with her friends.

“Xuanyin, what’s wrong with your sister? Why is she being so creepy today?” Huo Yanmei asked.

Lin Xuanji definitely knew the reason for Lin Xuanyin’s behavior, it must have been because of that man. But she didn’t even want to mention that man.

He had left for two days, but she could still recall the image and feeling of him kissing her without her permission so vividly. Too vividly.

Was he really… going to die of hunger?

He seemed to be penniless.

Goodness. What was she thinking about?

Was she thinking about him?

Was she concerned about him?

Lin Xuanji quickly shook her head, wis.h.i.+ng to forget about that handsome face in her mind. “Yanmei, it’s going to be my coming of age ceremony tonight. Come home with me?”

“Sure!”

…

Lin Xuanji took Huo Yanmei back to the Lin family. Pus.h.i.+ng open her room door, she noticed a beautiful box in her princess-themed room.

It was such an exquisite packaging, one look and she could tell that it cost a lot.

“Xuanji, what’s this?”

“I have no idea either.”

Lin Xuanji went in front, pulling open the ribbon wrapped around, finally opening the box.

Wow!

Huo Yanmei gasped. “Oh G.o.d, it’s really pretty.”

An evening gown was inside of the box. It was a red gown, cinched in at the waist and fully st.i.tched with flowers. It was stunningly beautiful.

Lin Xuanji’s pupils dilated seeing the gown. She ran her fingers over it, it was a red mesh gown that was incredibly gorgeous. She had never seen such a beautiful gown in her life.

“Xuanji, did your father prepare this for you?” Huo Yanmei asked.

Lin Xuanji wasn’t too certain. “I guess that should be the case.”

“Xuanji, there’s another box in here. What’s inside?”

Lin Xuanji opened the box, she blushed upon seeing the contents. It was a… bra.

She currently wore tube tops only, but not a bra. She felt a little shy to wear bras, since it had cups that would cover her beautiful privates.

She held the bra in her hand, it was a red lacy one that felt a little s.e.xy yet a little innocent at the same time, it really was pretty.

The size fit her perfectly.

“Xuanji, is this a gift from that man?” Huo Yanmei chuckled.

Lin Xuanji quickly covered Huo Yanmei’s mouth as she blushed. “Don’t spout nonsense, why would a man even gift a female with… a bra?”

“Why wouldn’t he? If a man were to give a female a bra, it means that he wants to turn you into his woman.”

A female who wears a bra is a woman.

It was her coming of age ceremony today, she was going to turn 18.

Lin Xuanji’s face flushed a bright red. “This was prepared by my father, not by some other man. I’m going to go and change now.”

…

At night, the coming of age ceremony commenced. All of the high society in Karghalik had come.

The lobby was brightly lit and filled with guests.

Jun Mosheng had also come. He wore a white s.h.i.+rt with black trousers, his entire look immaculate. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was the one who attracted the most attention.

A few heirs walked over with dark expressions. “Second Young Master Jun, the financial market has been horrible these two days. We’ve lost so much money.”

Jun Mosheng raised his brows. “Really?”

“Definitely, Second Young Master Jun. Many players in the financial market lost money in the past two days. Have you heard about it? A mysterious person appeared in the financial market, buying into the least popular crude oil and futures markets. This person bought in a ton on day one, only to sell it all on day two, managing to earn 200 million dollars in just two days. The entire financial market has been disrupted by this one person.”
