Chapter 228: Breaking up in public

No matter what everyone said, Lin Wanqing came today to give her face. She wanted to see what kind of decent coming-of-age ceremony this incompetent princess could come up with.

Lin Wan'er walked up to Lin Wanqing and looked down at her. "Cousin, what kind of coming-of-age gift have you prepared for me?"

She deliberately emphasized the word "cousin", as if to remind Lin Wanqing that their relationship was not close.

Hearing this, Lin Wanqing raised his eyes and glanced at her lightly, then reached into his sleeve and took out an exquisite box.

She gently placed the box on the table and pushed it in front of Lin Wan'er. "This is a coming-of-age gift for you."

When Lin Wan'er saw the inconspicuous box, a trace of contempt flashed in her eyes. She reached out to pick up the box, opened it, and was stunned.

Lying in the box was an exquisite hairpin, inlaid with several crystal clear gems, which emitted a dazzling light under the sunlight.

Lin Wan'er looked at the hairpin and a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but it was quickly replaced by jealousy and hatred.

She never thought that Lin Wanqing would give such a precious gift.

It was obvious at first glance that this hairpin was of great value, more valuable than any other gift she had received.

When the guests saw the hairpin in Lin Wan'er's hand, they all showed surprised expressions.

"The princess is truly generous. This hairpin must be worth a fortune."

"Yes, the princess is so kind to Lin Wan'er."

Listening to the discussions of the crowd, Lin Wan'er's face turned very ugly.

She clearly wanted to embarrass Lin Wanqing, but unexpectedly she ended up stealing the show.

Lin Wanqing looked at Lin Wan'er's ugly face, and a mocking arc appeared at the corner of his mouth.

She put a lot of thought into the coming-of-age gift she gave to Lin Wan'er. She had someone specially make this hairpin, and the gems inlaid on it were also carefully selected by her.

She knew that Lin Wan'er liked to show off and compare with others, so she specially prepared this gift to "help her look good".

Lin Wan'er clenched her fists and looked at Lin Wanqing with eyes full of hatred.

But today she couldn't lose her temper and could only swallow her anger. She still had to rely on Lin Wanqing to give her face, so she had to get through the day no matter what.

Thinking of this, Lin Wan'er showed a forced smile on her face, "Thank you, cousin, I like it very much."

Lin Wanqing looked at her hypocritical smile and felt disgusted. She was too lazy to play the sisterly love with her, so she stood up and said, "I'm glad you like it. I have something else to do, so I won't stay any longer."

After saying that, she turned around and left.

Seeing this, Lin Wan'er became anxious. She hadn't finished acting out the sisterly love performance with Lin Wanqing yet, so how could she be allowed to leave like this?

So she quickly stepped forward, grabbed Lin Wanqing's sleeve, and said with a smile, "Cousin, why are you leaving right after arriving? Is it because I haven't treated you well enough?"

Lin Wanqing pulled back her sleeves indifferently and said in a distant tone, "No, I just remembered that there are some things I need to deal with."

"What's the matter? Can you wait until the coming-of-age ceremony is over?" Lin Wan'er looked at her reluctantly.

Lin Wanqing felt nauseous when she saw her fake expression.

But thinking that today is her good day, I don’t want to argue with her.

"Okay." She said lightly.

When Lin Wan'er heard this, a smug smile appeared on her face. She knew that Lin Wanqing would not refuse her face.

Lin Wanqing sat down in his seat and accepted the flattery and fawning of the people around him.

"Princess, you look so beautiful today. This dress really sets off your noble temperament."

"Yes, yes, the princess is not only beautiful, but also kind-hearted. This hairpin is truly the best coming-of-age gift for Miss Lin."

"..."

Lin Wanqing responded to these compliments and flattery calmly with a faint smile on her face.

She was wearing a light blue dress today, which was simple yet elegant. Coupled with her outstanding appearance and temperament, she naturally attracted the attention of many people.

She didn't want to be in the spotlight, but her strength didn't allow it.

Lin Wan'er stood aside, looking at Lin Wanqing surrounded by the crowd, and felt jealous and crazy.

She was clearly the protagonist today, but all the limelight was stolen by Lin Wanqing. How could she not hate him?

At this moment, a sharp voice suddenly rang out from the crowd, "You two sisters are pretending to be so hypocritical here, do you really hate each other behind your backs?"

There was a sigh from the crowd, and they all looked for the owner of the voice.

Lin Wanqing's face also darkened. She knew that today was Lin Wan'er's good day, so she didn't want to cause any trouble.

Lin Wan'er was also furious. The illusion of sisterly love that she had worked so hard to create was destroyed just like that.

She looked in the direction of the voice and found a gorgeously dressed and beautiful woman looking at her and Lin Wanqing with a mocking expression, with a hint of gloating in her eyes.

Lin Wan'er was immediately furious. This woman was Li Yue, the daughter of the Minister of War, and she had always been at odds with her. She didn't expect that she would come out to cause trouble at this time.

"Ms. Li, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."

Lin Wanqing glanced at her indifferently, with a hint of majesty in his tone.

Li Yue was stunned by Lin Wanqing's aura and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Seeing this, Lin Wan'er showed a smug smile on her face. She knew that Lin Wanqing would not sit idly by.

"My cousin is right, Miss Li. Today is my coming-of-age ceremony. You're talking nonsense here. Aren't you being too disrespectful to me?"

Lin Wan'er looked at Li Yue pitifully, acting like a victim.

Li Yue felt disgusted when she saw Lin Wan'er like this. She hated Lin Wan'er's hypocritical look the most.

"Lin Wan'er, stop pretending here. Everyone knows that you and Lin Wanqing don't get along."

Li Yue's words stunned everyone present. They all looked at Lin Wan'er and Lin Wanqing with a hint of curiosity in their eyes.

Seeing this, Lin Wan'er felt a tightness in her heart. She couldn't let Li Yue continue talking, otherwise the image she had worked so hard to create would be ruined.

So she quickly walked up to Li Yue and said angrily, "Li Yue, if you dare to talk nonsense again, I will tear your mouth apart!"

Seeing this, Li Yue showed a sarcastic smile on his face.

"Lin Wan'er, do you dare to do it but not take responsibility for it? Do you dare to say that you have no grudges against Lin Wanqing?"

Lin Wan'er was speechless after being rebuked by Li Yue. She did have a grudge with Lin Wanqing, but she could not admit it.

Lin Wanqing looked at this scene and found it funny. She didn't expect that Lin Wan'er would be humiliated one day.

She walked over to Lin Wan'er and said calmly, "Okay, today is your day, don't bother with her."

After saying this, she turned to look at Li Yue and said in a cold tone, "Miss Li, today is Lin Wan'er's coming-of-age ceremony. I don't want to make things too awkward. Please respect yourself."

Li Yue was intimidated by Lin Wanqing's aura. Although she disliked Lin Wan'er, she did not dare to offend Lin Wanqing.

So she curled her lips and said nothing more.
