Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!-Chapter 287: Large-Scale Face-Slapping at the Engagement Ceremony (Part 12)
The crowd’s gaze instantly focused on the open door.
A girl in a misty purple gown walked in gracefully, her demeanor cold as frost.
She breathed deeply, a result of her hurried pace.
Yet her presence remained elegant and composed, unaffected by the distinguished guests in the room, her steps calm and unhurried like the wind.
Her short hair, stylishly set, was adorned with a simple yet lustrous pearl clip, adding a touch of femininity to her handsome look.
Her skin, glowing white, was as if a goddess had descended to earth, leaving everyone breathless.
"Is this the bride... the woman Jue personally selected?" The Nalan family members muttered, quite amazed. "We thought the Qin Family was just a humble household, and that their daughter would be unpresentable. But she’s so beautiful and gracious, truly having the demeanor of a matriarch!"
Over at the Qin Family’s side.
The atmosphere was extremely tense!
Mrs. Qin rubbed her eyes, stunned: "Xin’er... it truly is Xin’er..."
She knew her child so well that even emerging from hell, she wouldn’t mistake her.
But she was declared dead before, the Ice Lake rescuers said it was impossible to survive.
And now she stood before her alive!
Qin Wenrou and Lan Yingjun’s expressions were even more varied.
Qin Wenrou clutched Lan Yingjun’s arm tightly, unable to believe the woman attending the engagement ceremony was Qin Xin herself and not an imposter.
Qin Xin was alive!
No wonder they hadn’t found a body!
Qin Wenrou’s back instantly broke out in a cold sweat.
What to do?
Would Qin Xin expose her for causing her death?
Would she kill her on the spot?
Would Brother Jun be taken away by Qin Xin?
Lan Yingjun couldn’t take his eyes off Qin Xin, his gaze following her every move.
This woman was even more stunning than when he first met her.
He regretted it slightly, thinking if he hadn’t entangled with Qin Wenrou, would he have had a chance with Qin Xin?
After all, a woman even their little cousin found appealing, he shouldn’t have let go at the time.
Thinking this, he unconsciously distanced himself a bit from Qin Wenrou.
What if Qin Xin sought accountability, he wouldn’t know how to explain.
However.
As the three were caught in their own thoughts, Qin Xin lifted the hem of her gown and elegantly walked towards the center of the banquet hall.
She didn’t glance at the Qin Family when passing by.
Their earlier tension and anxiety suddenly found nowhere to settle!
Qin Xin completely ignored them.
She walked directly to the center, slightly nodding to the guests in a greeting: "Apologies for being late, thank you for waiting."
The Nalan family members quickly returned the politeness: "Not late, not late, good things take time, what’s a little wait."
Ah, this girl is so well-mannered.
And she speaks so beautifully.
She leaves such a good impression!
All at once, the Nalan family members gathered around, engaging in conversation with Qin Xin.
The Qin Family and Lan Yingjun were pushed far into a corner!
Qin Wenrou squeezed her fist tight.
From initial fear and worry to disbelief, at this moment, she was both jealous and schadenfreude, unable to help but say to Mrs. Qin and Lan Yingjun: "Mummy, Brother Jun, could it be that Mr. Nalan doesn’t like my sister? Otherwise, the engagement ceremony has been going on for so long, why hasn’t he shown up? Did he... regret and want to call it off?"
Mrs. Qin hesitated to speak.
In her memory, it shouldn’t be so.
Though the engagement was something she proactively brought to the Nalan Family, urging them to fulfill the agreement made years ago, Mr. Nalan agreed as soon as she mentioned it.
