This is what status ans.
The status of Second Master Chen is far above that of Chang Lan.
Second Master Chen nodded arrogantly, snorted, and didn't even spare a glance for Chang Lan.
Chang Lan didn't dare utter a word of protest; she nodded and bowed, practically like a dog at Second Master Chen's side.
Seeing that Second Master Chen couldn't be bothered to acknowledge her, Old Mrs. Chang Lan quickly shifted her gaze to soone standing next to him.
This person was not much younger than Second Master Chen, about fifty-sothing, with grey hair and wrinkled skin.
And his face was pale, his steps unsteady—a clear sign of overindulgence.
Who was this man?
To be walking alongside Second Master Chen, he was obviously no ordinary figure.
At that mont, soone nearby introduced him as Second Master Chen's own younger brother, Chen the Third.
"So he's Chen the Third!"
Whispers rippled through the crowd of the Qiu Family.
This Chen the Third, though most people had never seen him in person, his reputation around here was considerable.
Of course, it was definitely not a good reputation.
This Third Master Chen was infamous as a local lecher, relying on his powerful and wealthy elder brother to do as he pleased, ruining countless respectable girls—his na was notorious in the area.
Such a despicable old man actually showed up at the Qiu Family.
But unlike the arrogance of Second Master Chen, Chen the Third's eyes were locked onto the Qiu Family's young won, filled with greed and covetousness.
Especially when Chen the Third's gaze landed on Qiu Qianyu, he suddenly stopped, surprise spreading across his deeply wrinkled face.
Because Qiu Qianyu was breathtakingly beautiful!
Particularly today, with Qiu Qianyu dressed in a white dress.
Without any makeup, her stunningly beautiful face paired with the pure white dress made her look even more innocent—like a fairy untouched by the dust of the world.
Chen the Third's gaze stayed fixed on Qiu Qianyu, unable to move away.
Qiu Qianyu, amid the crowd, clearly noticed the ill intent in Chen the Third's eyes.
She frowned, instinctively took a few steps back, hiding behind others.
Chen the Third couldn't see her anymore, and his heart itched unbearably, restless and agitated.
Just then, Old Mrs. Chang Lan was bowing and scraping, smiling obsequiously as she greeted Second Master Chen.
Chen the Third yanked on Old Mrs. Chang Lan's sleeve impatiently and asked, "Hey, who's that girl in the white dress?"
There were quite a few girls in white dresses at the Qiu Family today, so Old Mrs. Chang Lan was startled at first, then respectfully replied, "May I ask which one Third Master is referring to?"
Though Second Master Chen's brother was a good-for-nothing, with such a powerful sibling, even Old Mrs. Chang Lan had to address him as Third Master.
Chen the Third pointed in Qiu Qianyu's direction, urgently saying, "That one! The one with long hair!"
Old Mrs. Chang Lan glanced back and understood imdiately.
She quickly answered with a smile, "Replying to Third Master, that's my granddaughter, her na's Qiu Qianyu."
"Qiu Qianyu, what a nice na!"
The wrinkles on Chen the Third's old face unfolded into a smile; he quickly pulled Chang Lan aside and pressed, "This granddaughter of yours, is she married?"
Chang Lan was montarily stunned, though her heart skipped a beat.
Chang Lan thought to herself, Could it be that Third Master Chen has taken a liking to my Xiaoyu and wants to propose for one of his younger kin?
This would be an absolute blessing; to marry into Second Master Chen's family would be a huge boost for the Qiu Family's future.
Of course, Qiu Qianyu was already married, so that couldn't be concealed.
Thus, Old Mrs. Chang Lan answered after so consideration.
"Replying to Third Master, my Xiaoyu is married."
"But her husband is a useless bumpkin, a farr. The two of them don't get along, and lately, they're planning to divorce!"
