54: Chapter 54 They won't let me in again.

Lin Xiao rubbed his forehead, feeling a bit embarrassed.

The girl chuckled. "I happen to have some time. Since you helped me, I'll be your driver for free. Where are you going? I'll take you!"

Thinking that it wasn't far from the Hotel where the banquet was being held, Lin Xiao gave her the location.

Upon hearing this, the girl exclaimed, "Ah? You're also going to the Lin family banquet?"

"Uh, yes. You too..."

Lin Xiao curiously looked the girl up and down.

"Yeah! Sigh, I didn't want to go, but my parents insisted! It's on the way, so I'll drive you there!"

The girl got back into the driver's seat and drove Lin Xiao to the Hotel.

Soon, they arrived at the entrance of the Hotel.

The girl asked teasingly, "Do you need me to help you park?"

"No need! I'll do it myself this time!"

He had already embarrassed himself enough today; Lin Xiao had to regain some dignity.

"Alright then. My parents just called me, so I'll head in first."

The girl said with a smile, then got out of the car and walked into the Hotel.

Lin Xiao sat back in the driver's seat and took a deep breath.

"It's just parking! How hard can it be?!"

He refused to believe he couldn't do it!

Perhaps the parking spaces at this Hotel were more spacious, but after some effort, he actually managed to park.

But soon, he regretted it.

This high-end Hotel offered valet parking.

As long as he drove his car to the main entrance, someone would naturally help him park it.

"Just consider it practice."

Lin Xiao sighed softly, got out of the car, and walked silently toward the Hotel entrance.

But before he could enter, he saw someone in a security uniform running toward him.

"Hey, hey, hey! Ride-share cars aren't allowed to park in our parking lot!"

"???"

Lin Xiao looked confused.

A ride-share car?

What kind of ride-share car is this expensive?

Did they mistake him for someone else?

But the security guard quickly walked up to him, pointed at his car not far away, and said, "You can't park this green-plated BYD here!"

"???"

Lin Xiao was even more bewildered.

The green plate was correct; he had bought a hybrid.

But what the hell is a BYD?!

Who did his green-plated Bentley ever offend?!

"No, buddy, have you made a mistake?"

Lin Xiao wanted the security guard to take a closer look.

But the security guard looked at him with disdain. "Stop pretending. I just saw you drop off a young lady! Take a look around—these are all luxury cars. This isn't a place for you to park! I've seen plenty of people like you, using the excuse of dropping someone off to try and freeload food and drinks!"

Looking at the security guard's serious expression, Lin Xiao didn't know what to say for a moment.

Is he for real?

"Listen to me. First, I'm not a ride-share driver. Second, I'm here to attend the banquet."

Lin Xiao said seriously.

"You, attending the banquet?"

The security guard looked Lin Xiao up and down and let out a scoff.

"I..."

Lin Xiao looked down at his clothes.

He had thought picking up the car wouldn't take long, so he had asked his eldest sister to bring his formal wear here, planning to change after he arrived.

So, he was currently wearing casual clothes, and on top of that, his pant cuffs were stained with mud from when he saved the girl earlier.

He really didn't look like someone here to attend a banquet.

Seeing that it was getting late, Lin Xiao had no choice but to take out his phone and call his eldest sister.

But the phone rang for a long time without anyone answering.

He called his second sister and parents, but still, no one answered.

That made sense.

When attending such occasions, they usually didn't keep their phones on them.

Anyway, if there was anything important, people would contact their assistants.

But Lin Xiao didn't have their assistants' phone numbers.

Lin Xiao was a bit anxious and craned his neck to look inside.

He hoped to see his eldest sister or someone else who knew him.

Unfortunately, The Lin Couple hadn't officially introduced him to people in this circle, so basically no one here knew him.

While he was peering inside, Lin Xiao was suddenly pushed from behind.

"Move aside, move aside! Can't you see a car coming?!"

The person who pushed him was dressed like a bodyguard and looked impatient.

But there was clearly no one at the entrance, and certainly no one blocking the middle of the road; there was no need to clear the way at all.

The security guard who had been blocking Lin Xiao seemed to read his thoughts and sneered, "See that? These rich people always look down on others. I advise you to give up on trying to sneak in. If you get caught, you'll be in big trouble, and I don't want to be implicated!"

Lin Xiao was speechless.

Strictly speaking, he was the very "rich person" the security guard was talking about.

But now, not only did he lack the qualification to be arrogant, he couldn't even get through the door!

After the group of bodyguards cleared the area, a luxury car slowly pulled up.

The car door opened, and a young woman wearing a purple dress stepped out.

Surrounded by various bodyguards and assistants, she walked slowly along the red carpet toward the entrance in her high heels.

The way she carried herself really looked like a big star on a red carpet.

The woman's appearance wasn't actually that outstanding; she looked quite ordinary.

It was just that what she was wearing and the accessories she had on were clearly very expensive.

And when her eyes swept over the surroundings, she wore a condescending expression.

When she passed by Lin Xiao, she actually stopped.

She looked Lin Xiao up and down and said disdainfully, "What's this? Another person trying to sneak in?"

Although phrased as a question, her words were filled with heavy sarcasm.

The security guard hurriedly fawned and smirked, "This is just a ride-share driver trying to sneak in for some free food and drinks!"

The woman snorted coldly and waved her hand dismissively. "Why haven't you chased him away yet? This is the Lin family's banquet; don't let these people be an eyesore here!"

"Yes, Miss!"

The bodyguards received the order and immediately moved to drive Lin Xiao away.

Lin Xiao was already annoyed because he couldn't get in, and after being spoken to like that, his temper flared up instantly.

He dodged the bodyguards in a few moves and said coldly, "You know this is the Lin family's banquet, so what kind of person are you to be bossing people around here?!"

The woman was about to walk inside, but upon hearing Lin Xiao's words, she stopped again.

She didn't seem to expect that anyone here would dare to question her.

And to question her in front of so many people—this was simply an insult to her!

"Heh, our Song family is going to marry into the Lin family, and I will be the future young mistress of the Lin family... Not only can I boss people around here, I can crush you like an ant!"

As she said this, she gave the bodyguards a look.

The bodyguards immediately received the order and reached out to grab Lin Xiao.

Lin Xiao easily took down two of the bodyguards and couldn't help but laugh. "You want to marry into the Lin family? That's hilarious. Why don't you ask me if I'm willing to marry you?"
