I’ve heard that Mr. Nalan has a sister who is his true treasure. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have left with just a phone call about her, leaving his fiancée Qin Xin all alone here.
Earlier, when I saw Qin Xin go to the restroom, I bet soone like her, who always maintains a facade, is probably crying in there secretly.
Heh, he’s already gone, the man won’t co back, crying is useless.
As for Mr. Nalan’s parents... since their son doesn’t like this woman, it’s natural for the elders to dislike her too. Otherwise, why wouldn’t they even show up?
Qin Wenrou thought cheerfully.
Taking a sip of champagne, it was truly delightful!
However,
the sip of champagne had just reached her throat and hadn’t been swallowed down yet.
when there was a commotion at the door.
"Mr. Nalan’s parents have arrived!"
"Wow, Mrs. Nalan is still so young...!"
Hearing these titles being thrown around, Qin Wenrou incredulously looked towards the door,
the notion that Qin Xin was disliked by the Nalan family’s elders hadn’t even ward up in her mind before it got slapped back.
How co Mr. Nalan’s parents suddenly showed up!
She saw Mrs. Nalan in a beautiful and fresh apricot-colored long dress, holding her husband’s arm, smiling like a doting young wife, and heading towards Mrs. Qin first.
She opened her mouth, her voice perfectly composed and pleasant: "Mrs. Qin, apologies, apologies, my husband and I should have arrived on ti, but midway, I wasn’t satisfied with the eting gift my husband brought, so I particularly went back to the old house to pick up our heirloom. So that’s why we were a bit late, please don’t hold it against us."
The crowd gasped and covered their mouths in surprise.
It turns out that Mr. Nalan’s parents weren’t unwilling to co; they were choosing a better eting gift for their future daughter-in-law!
This display surely shows Nalan’s regard for Qin Xin.
Mrs. Qin was montarily stunned by such a grand gesture, quickly getting to her feet: "You’re too kind, honestly... anything would do, your husband’s taste must be excellent as well..."
Mrs. Nalan, resting her chin, imdiately turned around and teased her husband: "Brother, since Mrs. Qin likes it, hurry up and bring out your gift too. Our gifts look better when presented in pairs."
What?
Even engagent gifts have to co in pairs?
Nalan Qingze’s face remained cold, but his tone couldn’t hide his indulgence: "Wife, you can give whatever you like."
Saying this, he took two heavy, top-grade velvet jewelry boxes from the hand of an attendant!
They were evidently extrely luxurious.
"Where is Miss Qin?" Mrs. Nalan looked around.
Qin Wenrou couldn’t help but step forward: "Madam, I..."
She was extrely curious, eager to know what eting gift the Nalan elders would give Qin Xin.
Mrs. Nalan gave her a glance: "Hmm, you look so different from the photo... but that’s okay, I’m not one to judge by appearance..."
Qin Wenrou was terribly embarrassed.
This blunt madam was indirectly suggesting that she wasn’t as pretty as Qin Xin, that she was unattractive.
Mrs. Qin quickly explained: "This is my second daughter, Wen Rou. Xin’er just went to the restroom."
Mrs. Nalan showed a "Oh, I knew my daughter-in-law couldn’t be that unattractive" expression of relief.
Qin Wenrou felt like she was practically asking for a slap to the face, feeling a fiery embarrassnt beyond words.
Fortunately, everyone’s gaze didn’t linger on her face for long.
Mrs. Nalan was quite lively, constantly referring to her husband as "brother" while she chatted animatedly, and after discovering that Nalan Ye Jue wasn’t present, she put her hands on her hips, making a series of frantic calls.
