If Tang Lin were smart enough, she would know that it would be best for her to stop in time at this moment.
But unfortunately, Tang Lin had no idea what "knowing when to stop" meant. She turned to look at Shen Qingshan and took out a folder from her bag. "Mr. Shen, I've prepared a gift for your birthday."
The moment she took out the folder, the pride on Tang Lin's face was completely undisguised. She looked at Shen Nanyi with contempt in her eyes.
She dared to say that no one could accept what was in the folder, especially Ji Beichuan.
Looking at the folder Tang Lin took out, Shen Nanyi was still a little curious. She wondered what Tang Lin would show Shen Qingshan.
The people around also craned their necks, eager to see the contents of the folder. The drama today just kept coming one after another. They felt that the birthday parties they had attended before were simply dull in comparison.
Shen Qingshan was such a shrewd man. Just by looking at Tang Lin's eyes, he knew she had ill intentions. He held the folder in his hand but didn't open it. "I'll take the gift. I'm getting old. I'll take my time to look at it when I get home."
Shen Qingshan spoke and smoothly changed the topic. He had no intention of opening the thing in front of everyone. Knowing that the girl in front of him had bad intentions towards his granddaughter, if he rushed to open it, wouldn't he be out of his mind?
"Mr. Shen, this is a birthday gift I've carefully prepared for a long time. Why don't you open it in front of everyone?" Unexpectedly, Tang Lin didn't want to let the matter go so easily. She forcefully pulled the topic back.
The look in Shen Qingshan's eyes when he looked at Tang Lin had turned cold. Tang Zhongshan's sweat was dripping down his forehead. He tugged at Tang Lin hard, hoping she would give him some face.
But Tang Lin was now blinded by jealousy and wouldn't listen to Tang Zhongshan at all.
Tang Zhongshan was extremely anxious. He even wished he could drag Tang Lin down right away and cover her mouth to stop her from talking nonsense. But with so many people watching, Tang Zhongshan knew he couldn't do that. He could only watch Tang Lin helplessly, feeling like he wanted to die.
Although the people around didn't say anything, their eyes were full of curiosity as they looked at Shen Qingshan. They all wanted Shen Qingshan to open the folder and see what was inside.
"Since it's a gift you gave me, then I have the right to choose when to open it. And opening the gift you gave me in front of so many people may not be very appropriate. After all, it would be too much pressure on you with so many people watching." Shen Qingshan's words were very euphemistic, but his refusal was quite obvious.
It was true that the people on the scene wanted to watch the show, but when it came to choosing between watching the show and offending Shen Qingshan, they would rather choose not to watch.
In a way, the Ji family could also be considered part of the Shen Group's influence. The combination of the two groups was beyond the ability of the people on the scene to compete with.
As soon as Shen Qingshan finished speaking, several people around started to help him smooth things over and went to toast him one after another.
It wasn't a surprise for Tang Lin to be rejected by Shen Qingshan. She continued rummaging in her bag and took out another USB drive and a small projector.
Tang Zhongshan thought the crisis was finally over and had just let out a sigh of relief. He didn't notice Tang Lin's small move at all. He just watched helplessly as Tang Lin walked onto the main podium.
"Tang Lin, come down here!" Tang Zhongshan reached out to grab Tang Lin, but Tang Lin was too fast. Tang Zhongshan couldn't catch her. He shouted at the top of his lungs, which brought everyone's attention back again.
Everyone looked at Tang Lin, wondering what on earth had gotten into her. It was clearly the Shen family's event, so why did she keep making things difficult for the Shen family?
Some people even looked at Tang Zhongshan with sympathy. They had all seen what happened to Ji Jiale just now, and he was Ji Beichuan's biological father. The Tang family had no relation to the Shen family, yet they were so eager to pick a fight. Their IQ was really questionable.
There was only the host on the high platform. He never expected Tang Lin to rush up suddenly. He just watched as Tang Lin picked up the microphone beside her.
"Since Mr. Shen doesn't want to look at the birthday gift I gave him, then I'll invite everyone to take a look." Holding the microphone and feeling the sound coming from it, Tang Lin felt a sudden surge of strength.
Everyone's eyes were on her, which gave her a sense of achievement she had never felt before. At this moment, she was like the heroine, the shining point of the whole scene.
As she said this, Tang Lin turned on the small projector and projected the contents of her USB drive onto the wall.
The first photo made everyone on the scene feel that there was more gossip to follow.
It was an intimate photo of Shen Nanyi and a man. The people on the scene were no strangers to this man. He was the recently popular traffic star and also an artist of Xingyi Media, Shen Ye.
Although there was a slight age gap between Shen Ye and Shen Nanyi, it didn't prevent something from happening between them. Especially since Shen Ye was now at the peak of his popularity.
"These are some photos I accidentally took. They are photos of Miss Shen and Shen Ye. Why don't we all guess what their relationship is?" Flipping through the photos of Shen Nanyi and Shen Ye one by one, Tang Lin thought she was surely going to win this time.
These were the photos she had spent a lot of money hiring a private detective to investigate. Judging from their actions and the distance between them, they were definitely not just ordinary friends.
Shen Nanyi thought Tang Lin was so excited because she had prepared some real bombshell. Looking at the contents of the photos, Shen Nanyi couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Was there really something wrong with Tang Lin's IQ? Why didn't she investigate the background of the people when she was doing the investigation?
"..." Shen Qingshan had even prepared how to handle the public relations in case of an emergency. Now he fell silent.
The people in the Shen family knew the truth, so they didn't feel anything when they saw the photos. They even wanted to laugh. But the people on the scene didn't know what was going on. Looking at Shen Nanyi, who was so young and involved with a popular male star, their looks were a bit subtle.
Although this kind of thing was not uncommon in the circle, it was another matter when it was brought out into the open.
"Does Miss Shen have anything to say?" Hearing the faint whispers on the scene, Tang Lin thought she had made the right bet this time.
The aristocratic families valued their reputation the most. Shen Nanyi's actions had undoubtedly brought shame to the Shen family. If it wasn't handled properly, not to mention whether she could inherit the Shen family, the Shen family might not even be willing to recognize her in the future.
Hearing Tang Lin's words, Shen Nanyi was now really sure that there might really be something wrong with Tang Lin's brain. Could a normal person say such things?
