Lc Yuan didn’t expect Lin Jia to be so absolute. She felt really depressed. It seemed that Yin Tao was really not easy to deal with.
“Sister Leyuan, Xiaoxia, you might really have misunderstood Yin Tao. She’s not a scheming girl.”
Although Jin Chen had not interacted much with Yin Tao, he could tell from Yin Tao’s attitude towards him that she was different from other women. Moreover, Yin Tao maintained a normal distance from Lin Jia and Feng Jing.
Jin Chen left after saying that. After all, Xia Ru’s attitude really made the atmosphere a little awkward.
“What’s so good about her? Why is everyone speaking up for her?” Xia Ru stood rooted to the ground angrily and asked Le Yuan, who was beside her, in confusion, “I’ve clearly known Brother Lin Jia for a longer time. Why does he trust an outsider so much?”
“Yin Tao isn’t that stupid. She’s beautiful and young. It’s normal for Lin Jia and the others not to be wary of her.” Le Yuan had long known that Yin Tao wasn’t easy to deal with, but she didn’t expect her to appear at Feng Jing’s birthday banquet.
“She’s really an eyesore. Sister Yuanyuan, we can’t let her off just like that!”
Le Yuan naturally didn’t want to let Yin Tao off. Ever since the two of them parted on bad terms the last time, Le Yuan had completely treated Yin Tao as an enemy.
“What can we do? Brother Lin Jia is already angry just because you said a few words.” Le Yuan deliberately mentioned Lin Jia, making Xia Ru even angrier.
“But we can’t just let it go…” Xia Ru’s was visibly upset. She whispered to Le Yuan, “I’ll think of a way to embarrass her later and see if she can still be so arrogant.”
Le Yuan didn’t say anything. She wished that Yin Tao would make a fool of herself, but she didn’t want to play the bad guy.
“Then you have to be careful. Yin Tao has so many people protecting her. You won’t be able to scheme against her easily.” Le Yuan’s tone was filled with jealousy, and this made Xia Ru extremely upset.
Meanwhile, Lin Jia brought Yin Tao to the outer courtyard. As there were fewer guests around, Lin Jia comforted her apologetically, “Sister Xiaotao, don’t take it to heart. In my eyes, you’re especially good.”
Lin Jia couldn’t quite say why, but he felt terrible when he saw that Yin Tao was upset.
If not for the fact that the Lin family and the Xia family were considered family friends, Lin Jia would definitely not let Xia Ru off easily. He would definitely have made her apologize to Yin Tao.
“It’s okay, Brother Lin Jia. I had some disagreements with them in City A. It’s only normal that they don’t like me.”
Yin Tao didn’t care about what Xia Ru said at all. It wasn’t like Le Yuan hadn’t said mean things to her before. Yin Tao wouldn’t have been able to survive until today if she had such a weak personality.
“In the future, don’t interact with them lest you get annoyed.”
Lin Jia was usually unwilling to mix with these ignorant and incompetent kids from rich families. His seemingly harmonious friendships were just socializing. He had only made three to five friends over the years, and it was even rarer for them to admire each other like Feng Jing.
Yin Tao smiled and nodded. Lin Jia had always taken good care of her. Yin Tao was very touched, but she was worried that Lin Jia would misunderstand her, so she kept a distance.
“Thank you, Brother Lin Jia. I won’t bother myself with these things.”
Lin Jia had been a little apologetic towards Yin Tao because of what happened at his grandfather’s place the last time. However, Lin Jia was a smart person. He could tell that Yin Tao didn’t have any other feelings for him, so he didn’t dare to rashly pursue her. He was worried that the two of them couldn’t even be friends in the end.
“Xiaotao, did you offend Xia Ru in any way? I think she’s quite hostile to you. You have to be careful in the future.” Jin Chen walked back to Lin Jia and Yin Tao’s side and reminded them kindly.
“Some people will find you an eyesore even if you don’t do anything.”
Yin Tao shook her head indifferently and said to Lin Jia and Jin Chen, “I’m not the type to be bullied. If someone really bullies me, she definitely won’t have an easy time either.”
Although Yin Tao’s voice wasn’t loud, it was inexplicably terrifying. Jin Chen looked at the expressionless Yin Tao and suddenly felt that his worry for her was unnecessary.
“It’s better to be careful. Xia Ru has been spoiled by her family and has always been reckless. Her family is quite powerful. If she really makes things difficult for you in the future, don’t face it alone. Tell me or Feng Jing. We can help you think of a way.” Lin Jia was a little worried about Yin Tao’s situation after being reminded by Jin Chen..
