Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!-Chapter 288: Large-Scale Face-Slapping at the Engagement Ceremony (Part 13)

Later, she thought Qin Xin was dead and wanted to call off the engagement, but Mr. Nalan refused.

He also rejected the idea of substituting Qin Wenrou for marriage, insisting on marrying only Qin Xin.

Logically, Mr. Nalan wouldn’t go back on his word today.

Could there be another hidden reason?

Mrs. Qin thought for a moment: "Maybe something has come up and delayed him?"

With that reminder from Mrs. Qin, Qin Wenrou suddenly remembered overhearing Lu Yi’s phone call, coordinating a car for Mr. Nalan.

Yes, Mommy is right, Mr. Nalan probably has more important matters to deal with.

As for this engagement ceremony, it seems the man doesn’t really care about it.

It’s irrelevant.

Thinking this way, the feeling of suffocation she endured all night suddenly lifted, making her feel refreshed.

Looking again at Qin Xin, dressed impeccably and handling the guests with ease, she felt less envious and fearful.

Just then, Lan Yingjun was conversing with some of the Nalan family’s relatives about business matters.

She raised her glass, listening obediently, and took the opportunity during the toast to casually remark, "I don’t think Mr. Nalan will be here tonight. I heard from the servants that he went out for more important business."

Everyone was startled.

Impossible, right?

What could be more important than his own engagement party?

Especially with such a beautiful bride like Qin Xin?

No man would miss getting engaged to such a goddess of a fiancée.

"Who are you...?"

The guests didn’t recognize Qin Wenrou.

Qin Wenrou raised her glass politely: "I’m Qin Xin’s younger sister. I offer a toast to all the uncles and elders."

Lan Yingjun also added, "Wen Rou is a top student at Imperial University, ranking in the top ten of new students, first among girls. In the recent scholarship competition... Oh right, Wen Rou, didn’t you also take first place? Winning a 2 million prize?"

Qin Wenrou mumbled, "Hmm."

Thinking to herself, it’s not like anyone knows.

Claiming first place, no one would expose her.

Though her relatives were business-oriented, they were fond of kids who excelled academically. Seeing Qin Wenrou’s good grades and good manners, they exchanged polite compliments.

Lu Yi saw Qin Xin coming from a distance and rushed to explain Nalan Ye Jue’s departure.

Passing by Qin Wenrou, he overheard some mention of a first-place scholarship.

He frowned, disrupting the conversation, and glared at Qin Wenrou, "You’ve got it wrong, haven’t you been disqualified for cheating? Where did you get first place from?"

The first place clearly belongs to their young miss!

Qin Wenrou was left speechless, her face flushing red.

She never imagined she’d be humiliated so quickly in such a setting!

Even a servant from the Nalan Family knows about the school affairs!

Lan Yingjun also frowned, "Wen Rou, it’s okay not to take first place, there’s no need to lie..."

The Nalan relatives looked at Qin Wenrou with a bit of disapproval.

This child seemed vain, why lie over such a trivial matter?

Lu Yi was in a hurry to find Qin Xin and didn’t say more. But if it weren’t for considering Lan Yingjun’s feelings, he’d have exposed Qin Wenrou’s affairs with the professor.

After Lu Yi left, Qin Wenrou lowered her head shamefully and followed beside Lan Yingjun, biting her lip, she quietly explained, "Brother Jun, I was originally in first place. But then Lan Qingxin took my scores, swapped my specimen, and slandered me with the professor..."

She had to take action first!

"Brother Jun, all those rumors she spread are fake, don’t believe them."

She took out two identification certificates from her bag.

One was a virginity verification, the other a vaginal bacterial test report.
