259: I offended everyone.
When Lin Jia appeared in the villa's main hall with Su Yue, she instantly drew the attention of everyone present.
A fat man sitting in the center stared intently at Lin Jia's arm linked with Su Yue's, his eyes glowing red, as if he wanted to tear the two of them apart on the spot.
Zhu Hua looked at Su Yue with particular disdain: "Jia Jia, you've fallen for such a waste? This waste has nothing, what do you like about him? Do you like that he's poor?"
As a rich young master, Zhu Hua naturally saw at a glance that everything Su Yue was wearing didn't exceed a thousand yuan. How could such a waste be worthy of Lin Jia?
When they left, Su Yue specifically asked Lin Jia if he should dress more formally, but Lin Jia directly refused.
In her opinion, it was just a gathering with friends, and the socialites she got along with already knew her family background. Those who were close to her wouldn't look down on her origins.
Therefore, when she brought Su Yue, she subconsciously didn't ask him to deliberately dress expensively; wearing comfortable everyday clothes was fine.
Who knew that as soon as they arrived, Zhu Hua would directly mock Su Yue for not having money.
Although Lin Jia would be shy when facing Su Yue, when facing other men, she was still the cold and indifferent Lin Jia, so she naturally wouldn't give Zhu Hua a pleasant look.
"Whether Su Yue has money or not, I don't care. I love him, and I believe as long as the two of us are willing to work hard, we won't have to worry about money."
Lin Jia's simple phrase 'I love him' was incredibly impactful, and Zhu Hua was so enraged he stood up from his seat.
He gnashed his teeth: "Lin Jia! Are you fucking crazy? What's so good about a poor wretch like this? I can give you anything, what are you unhappy about?"
Su Yue was also greatly startled by Lin Jia's 'I love you'. He gave a meaningful glance at the blushing Lin Jia leaning on his shoulder, feeling grateful for Zhu Hua's assist.
He didn't care if Lin Jia said it out of anger or if it was her true feelings; either way, he would only take it as her true feelings.
Now that Lin Jia was being bullied by Zhu Hua like this, as her 'boyfriend', Su Yue naturally wouldn't just stand by and watch her be bullied.
He shielded Lin Jia behind him, looking at Zhu Hua without any timidity, and even with a hint of threat.
"Mr. Zhu, although your surname is Zhu, you can't actually act like Zhu Bajie trying to snatch a wife. Jia Jia is my girlfriend."
As soon as Su Yue said this, everyone's expressions varied, and many people covered their mouths to stifle laughter.
They didn't expect the boyfriend Lin Jia found to be so bold, daring to mock Zhu Hua to his face!
Lin Jia also didn't expect Su Yue to mock him back directly. Her previously depressed mood lightened considerably because of his joke.
However, what Su Yue said made sense. Zhu Hua's surname is Zhu, wasn't that just like Zhu Bajie? Moreover, he looked just like Zhu Bajie.
Lin Jia thought to herself.
Zhu Hua was so startled by Su Yue's fierce gaze that he unconsciously took a step back. He quickly realized he shouldn't lose face in front of Su Yue and glared back angrily.
This person actually mocked him in front of everyone; he would definitely not let him off easily!
But Zhu Hua's gaze clearly lacked power. In fact, after being threatened by Su Yue like that, he seemed even more sleazy, completely lacking in presence.
Anyone unaware would think Su Yue was the true rich young master, and Zhu Hua was the poor wretch looked down upon.
"Brat, daring to be arrogant in front of me, I will definitely not spare you easily."
Su Yue didn't pay any attention to Zhu Hua's powerless threat. Instead, Lin Jia couldn't stand Zhu Hua's selective deafness, acting as if he couldn't understand human language.
She had repeatedly told Zhu Hua that she had a boyfriend, and even specifically brought Su Yue as her boyfriend.
But this Zhu Hua acted as if he were blind, completely ignoring Su Yue and immediately resorting to mockery.
Lin Jia already looked down on Zhu Hua, but she had been enduring it to avoid making things difficult for Zhu Yuanyuan.
However, she could tolerate things for herself, but she couldn't tolerate things for Su Yue.
Therefore, she looked directly at Zhu Hua and said to him: "Mr. Zhu, I know you might currently have some good feelings towards me, but I'm very sorry, I am a person with a boyfriend."
"My boyfriend and I are already living together, and we will be meeting our parents after the New Year. Regarding your feelings, I regret that I cannot respond."
"What!" Zhu Hua's eyes widened in disbelief as he looked at Lin Jia.
Lin Jia felt a chill down her spine from Zhu Hua's fierce gaze, but to prevent this person from continuing to harass her, she could only straighten her back and face his fierce gaze directly.
Su Yue was also greatly shocked by Lin Jia's words. Seeing Lin Jia's fear when facing Zhu Hua, he held her tighter in his arms, giving her strength.
Su Yue looked at Zhu Hua with particular contempt: "I know my girlfriend has always been popular, but I'm a possessive person, and I won't give up my girlfriend."
Zhu Hua was furious at the sight of Su Yue and Lin Jia hugging each other in front of him, but when he met Su Yue's gaze, he was subconsciously scared and felt a chill, forgetting all the threats he had intended to say.
Su Yue knew that such a Zhu Hua posed no threat to him at all, so he ignored him and walked into the villa with Lin Jia in his arms.
Everyone here knew that Lin Jia was bringing her boyfriend today and wanted to watch a good show or curry favor with Zhu Hua. These people were not Lin Jia's friends; Lin Jia's good friends were by the pool at this time.
However, no one expected that what was supposed to be watching Lin Jia's boyfriend make a fool of himself turned into watching Zhu Hua make a fool of himself.
The usually arrogant and overbearing Zhu Hua was actually intimidated by a single glance from Lin Jia's boyfriend.
This certainly provided a big piece of gossip for the onlookers.
It was only after the two left that Zhu Hua realized he had lost face in front of so many people. His face instantly turned dark red, and he was so angry that he smashed the wine glass on the table.
Those present kept their mouths shut, not daring to speak at this time to add fuel to the fire, but their eyes were full of schadenfreude.
As they walked, Lin Jia quietly spoke to Su Yue: "Su Yue, thank you just now."
Su Yue was a little puzzled: "Lin Jia, are you usually bullied by someone like this?"
Su Yue had lived with Lin Jia for so many years. Based on his understanding of her, how could she not be able to handle such an outwardly strong but inwardly weak second-generation rich kid? How could it be so serious this time that he had to step in?
Lin Jia's body stiffened, feeling a bit awkward: "This person's sister is a major client of mine. It's not good for me to directly offend her sister, but I also don't want to be disgusted by him like this."
Su Yue nodded understandingly, also feeling a bit worried about Lin Jia's future situation.
"Today, we've directly offended both of them. Now, it's probably impossible for you to maintain a false sisterhood with his sister."

Lin Jia's initial choice to bring Su Yue today was indeed to avoid offending Zhu Yuanyuan, but after hearing Zhu Hua's mocking words towards Su Yue, her last bit of fear disappeared.
She shook her head: "It doesn't matter. I can't always be mocked by Zhu Hua without refuting him. It's better to just break ties with them now."
Due to her work, Lin Jia usually chose to endure when encountering problems, but this didn't mean she had no temper.
Now that Zhu Hua had mocked them like this, how could she possibly think that her relationship with Zhu Yuanyuan could continue, or even that Zhu Yuanyuan might have the same thoughts as Zhu Hua?
Su Yue lowered his head and carefully observed Lin Jia. Seeing that her face truly showed no expression of fear or dread, he knew this was Lin Jia's true thought, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Just now, when he saw that disgusting fat pig Zhu Hua actually dared to have ideas about Lin Jia, he momentarily lost control of his anger and directly confronted him.
Only afterwards did he remember Lin Jia's relationship with this person. When he heard that the dead pig's sister was a major client of Lin Jia's, he did feel quite panicked, although there was no regret in his heart at all.
He was just worried that Lin Jia would lose performance because of him.
However, Su Yue was not without resources now. He could recommend a few rich women and socialites to Lin Jia later to make up for the lost performance.
"Don't worry, without this fat pig affecting the Earth's rotation, you will definitely have a surge of orders from now on."
Lin Jia was directly amused by Su Yue. She smiled and nodded: "Okay, then I'll take that as a good omen."
The intimate actions of the two greatly startled the crowd by the pool. Who among those present hadn't seen Lin Jia's cold and distant face? It was only because Lin Jia was capable that they had always treated her as a good friend.
However, Lin Jia was indeed worth their sincere friendship. Unlike others who only sought to please them, she was absolutely sincere towards them.
The skincare advice she gave was always the most suitable for them personally, and she would never recommend things randomly just to get performance. They were all honored to have such a sincere friend.
Yet today, they saw Lin Jia laughing like a little woman, nestled in a man's arms.
Everyone's eyes held different expressions, all filled with gossip.
It seemed Lin Jia's boyfriend was real.
Lin Jia noticed the curious and scrutinizing gazes of others, and her face instantly turned red. She awkwardly pulled away from Su Yue's embrace and, to cover her embarrassment, introduced Su Yue to the crowd.
"This is Su Yue, he is my boyfriend."
Just now, Lin Jia hadn't introduced Su Yue to Zhu Hua. Firstly, Zhu Hua wasn't worthy, and secondly, they weren't even friends. Lin Jia had no intention of introducing Su Yue to Zhu Hua at all.
And as soon as Zhu Hua saw Lin Jia come in with Su Yue, even intimately holding his arm, he was so enraged he was about to explode, naturally forgetting such a minor detail as introductions.
Su Yue was also very obedient to Lin Jia, greeting the people in the pool.
"Hello everyone."
Since it was a pool party, these people were all wearing swimsuits. Su Yue was greatly startled by the surging waves and fair skin in front of him, only daring to take one glance before looking away.
His identity today was Lin Jia's boyfriend. If he looked around carelessly at this moment, it would be Lin Jia who lost face.
However, at this moment, Su Yue was actually more curious about what Lin Jia would look like in a swimsuit. They didn't interact much in the rental house, and he had only seen Lin Jia wear short skirts; he hadn't seen Lin Jia in a bikini yet.
Thinking of Lin Jia's proud figure in a fitted bikini, Su Yue's nose felt warm, his body instantly stiffened, and he didn't dare to continue thinking.
Lin Jia didn't know what Su Yue was thinking at this time and was very satisfied with Su Yue's active cooperation with her actions.
She pulled Su Yue to sit on an empty chair and talked with her group of friends.
Zhu Yuanyuan, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "Jia Jia, is this your boyfriend? He seems very ordinary."
As soon as these words were spoken, the previously noisy corner of the pool became deathly silent. Many people broke out in a cold sweat for Lin Jia.
Lin Jia knew on the way here that she would likely have no further connection with the Zhu family, so she remained calm in the face of Zhu Yuanyuan's disdain.
"Perhaps you think Su Yue is very ordinary, but in my eyes, he is very good, and I like him very much."
Zhu Yuanyuan snorted coldly: "Lin Jia, do you know what the consequences will be after you choose this man?"
Su Yue, who had not intended to get involved in the women's conversation, instantly frowned because of Zhu Yuanyuan's threat. Lin Jia, next to Su Yue, immediately noticed Su Yue's abnormality, tugged at him, and used her eyes to signal that she could handle it.
Seeing Lin Jia's insistence, Su Yue couldn't insist either. He could only look at Zhu Yuanyuan with displeasure, using his eyes to pressure her.
Perhaps Zhu Yuanyuan was stronger than Zhu Hua or something, although she was stared at by Su Yue's fierce gaze, Zhu Yuanyuan didn't tremble directly like the useless Zhu Hua was scared into.
When Lin Jia looked at Zhu Yuanyuan, she also showed no timidity, even appearing very calm.
"Sister Yuanyuan, I know I've had so much performance over the years thanks to your help. If you have any facial issues in the future, I will also seriously answer your questions and work hard to help adjust your skin condition to the best."
"However, your brother's behavior has indeed disturbed my life. To prevent our lives from being affected, I have tried my best to keep my distance from him. I hope Sister Yuanyuan can understand the reason why I'm doing this."
Although Lin Jia didn't say it directly, her words already indicated that she would break ties with Zhu Yuanyuan in the future.
As the eldest daughter of the Zhu family, Zhu Yuanyuan had been sought after by everyone since childhood. This was the first time someone had broken ties with her to her face. Her face instantly turned as dark as Zhu Hua's, and her gaze towards Lin Jia was also full of dissatisfaction.
Although Zhu Yuanyuan recognized Lin Jia's ability, to these socialites, Lin Jia was just a tool. When they were in a good mood, they would treat her as a good friend, but when they were in a bad mood, they naturally wouldn't put her in their eyes.
Now, this person not only didn't give her brother face in front of everyone, but also didn't give her face. This infuriated Zhu Yuanyuan greatly.
Zhu Yuanyuan stared at Lin Jia with a sinister gaze.
The other socialites were both shocked and scared seeing Zhu Yuanyuan so angry. After all, no family present could compare to the Zhu family, and these people all deferred to the Zhu family.
Many who had been personally cared for by Lin Jia internally broke out in a cold sweat for Lin Jia, secretly giving her eye signals, hoping she would apologize to Zhu Yuanyuan first and not truly offend the Zhu family.
However, Lin Jia acted as if she didn't see their gestures of goodwill, and directly stood up holding her boyfriend's hand.
"Sister Yuanyuan, since things have been said to this extent, I won't stay here any longer. We'll be leaving now."
After speaking, Lin Jia directly pulled Su Yue away.
Su Yue didn't expect Lin Jia to be so resolute. He had a different view of her in his heart.
However, he was a little curious: "Lin Jia, you've offended all these people today, do you have anyone else to complete your performance?"
