Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!-Chapter 283: Large-Scale Face-Slapping at the Engagement Ceremony (Part 8)
"What? Little Uncle..."
Qin Wenrou became even more breathless.
Mr. Nalan not only had money and looks, but his status was so high! ๐๐๐๐๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ฏ๐ป๐๐๐๐น.๐๐จ๐
Wait a minute.
If Mr. Nalan is Lan Yingjunโs little uncle,
then after Qin Xin marries Mr. Nalan, wouldnโt she become his little aunt-in-law?!
Qin Wenrouโs legs went weak, and she almost couldnโt stand: "So the Lan Family and the Nalan Family are..."
Lan Yingjun said a bit begrudgingly, "Theyโre relatives."
In fact, the Lan Family was just a distant, barely connected branch.
Like todayโs engagement party, he didnโt have the qualifications to attend.
But in front of Qin Wenrou, he didnโt want to lose face.
Indeed, hearing this made Qin Wenrou a bit happier: "Then we can often see Mr. Nalan?"
Only after saying it did she realize she seemed too eager, so she hurriedly added, "And can often see my sister too."
Lan Yingjun snorted, "Didnโt you say your sister was dead, and the person coming to the engagement today is an imposter?"
Qin Wenrou was momentarily choked.
Just the thought that Qin Xin might still be alive unsettled her: "I donโt know..."
She anxiously looked toward the main door.
At times hoping the fake Qin Xin would arrive soon, and at others fearing Qin Xinโs real appearance.
With each tick of the clock,
as the auspicious time approached, Qin Xin still hadnโt appeared.
Neither had Mr. Nalan.
The atmosphere grew a bit uneasy.
Qin Wenrou was particularly restless, subtly moving to Lu Yiโs side, raising her glass and asking, "Secretary Lu, has Mr. Nalan arrived?"
Lu Yi wasnโt too fond of her, responding vaguely, "Mhm."
He turned to take a phone call: "What? The Young Master needs the car? Okay, Iโm heading there right away..."
Saying this, he ignored Qin Wenrou and headed downstairs to drive.
Qin Wenrou stood at the window, watching as a black car sped away from the main gate...
"Hehe, Mr. Nalan doesnโt really want to marry my sister... He didnโt even show respect at the engagement ceremony and left before it even started..." Qin Wenrou smiled slightly.
Even if Qin Xin were to rise from the grave, so what?
She would still be destined to be abandoned by a man!

Five minutes ago.
In the lounge, Nalan Ye Jue was sitting in a wheelchair, resting with his eyes closed.
The man wore a neat black suit, with a purple bowtie replacing his usual black tie, adding a touch of romance to his cold demeanor.
On the nearby clothing rack hung an elegant and stunning misty purple wedding gown.
The color of the dress and his purple bowtie echoed each other, very interesting and meaningful.
He waited patiently and silently.
The engagement was about to start, and Qin Xin still hadnโt arrived.
She had said she had an examination in the afternoon and would come directly afterward, not needing a makeup artist or driver to pick her up.
He respected her wishes and agreed to everything.
But she had yet to arrive at the venue.
He wasnโt in a hurry and quietly waited for her in the lounge.
It was Lu Yi who was a bit antsy, coming several times to ask if they should call Miss Qin to check on the situation.
He waved it off: "Donโt disturb her, sheโs taking her final exams. She wonโt break her word on something sheโs promised."
Lu Yi had no choice but to obey.
He couldnโt believe the Young Master trusted Miss Qin so much.
What if Miss Qin really flaked today? Wouldnโt the Young Master lose face completely?
Although no reporters were invited today, the elders of both families were present, even the reclusive Mr. Nalan Qingze and Madam Xiao Mianmian.
If Miss Qin didnโt show up, the Young Master would be in a tough spot.
He sweated for Nalan Ye Jue.
Tonight was like a gamble, and the Young Masterโs reputation was firmly in Miss Qinโs hands.
