Chapter 281: Chapter 281: Large-Scale Face-Slapping at the Engagement Ceremony (Part 6)

Lu Yi noticed something unusual in Qin Xiaoshuang’s persistence.

"Child, why are you so certain that your sister has truly died?"

Qin Xiaoshuang bit his lip: "My sister fell into the lake, and even her body..."

Halfway through his sentence, he suddenly stopped.

Not knowing Lu Yi well, the young man cautiously shut his mouth, refusing to say more.

Lu Yi barely heard something about falling into a lake; before he could fully understand, he saw the boy’s stubborn face as he insisted, "I want to see my sister, I must see my sister."

Lu Yi shrugged helplessly, "Then see her at the engagement ceremony."

＝＝

At this moment, at the engagement ceremony.

Lu Yi recalled the boy’s insistence again.

For some reason, it all felt strangely peculiar.

Mrs. Qin and Qin Wenrou were strange, Qin Xiaoshuang was strange, everyone in the Qin Family was strange.

Regardless, they were relatives of Miss Qin’s side. Though he didn’t understand, he must respect and be polite.

As he was pondering.

The hostess announced, "Mrs. Qin has arrived."

Lu Yi quickly walked over to greet them.

"Mrs. Qin, Miss Qin." He greeted politely, then with a hint of surprise, "Lan Yingjun? How come you’re here too? It seems..."

He hadn’t invited him.

The Nalan Family had only invited the most important elders.

Families like Lan Yingjun’s, being collateral branches, weren’t invited to such events.

Lan Yingjun awkwardly said, "I... am Wenrou’s... boy..."

He wanted to say "boyfriend."

However, Qin Wenrou promptly laughed and said, "Yingjun is my fiancé."

Lu Yi raised an eyebrow in surprise, but nevertheless courteously invited them in.

Lan Yingjun didn’t object, effectively admitting it.

After all, without the title of Qin Wenrou’s fiancé, he wouldn’t have been qualified to attend the Nalan Family engagement ceremony today.

Honestly, he was immensely shocked when he stepped into the Golden Diamond Corridor earlier.

Qin Wenrou merely stated that she was inviting him to attend an engagement ceremony; initially, he wanted to decline, unwilling to attend such social engagements.

He didn’t expect the engagement ceremony to be from the Nalan Family!

Just yesterday when he got off the plane returning from abroad, he was so busy that he didn’t want to meet with Qin Wenrou.

At this moment, he felt extremely fortunate to have Qin Wenrou as his girlfriend.

He got the chance to be in close contact with Nalan Ye Jue.

He whispered to Qin Wenrou, "How did your family connect with the Nalan Family? The Nalan Family’s engagement ceremony isn’t even accessible to many business tycoons, okay? No amount of money can buy entry into an occasion where Nalan Family members are present!"

Qin Wenrou was taken aback, "Really? Is the Nalan Family that impressive?"

She only knew Mr. Nalan was a wealthy man, also a cripple.

Possibly a wealthy disabled old man.

But she didn’t expect Brother Jun to be so nervous.

From the way it sounded, was he wealthier than usual?

Could she have missed something?

Qin Wenrou’s heart pounded heavily, only daring to speak the truth that frightened her: "Brother Jun, today... is my sister and Mr. Nalan’s engagement ceremony, so..."

Lan Yingjun staggered, turning pale.

"Your sister... wasn’t she deceased?"

Qin Wenrou clutched her chest, "Brother Jun, I’m puzzled too, but the Nalan Family’s secretary said she would come. I don’t know what’s happening. Could someone be impersonating my sister to marry Mr. Nalan?"

Lan Yingjun struggled to digest the fact that Qin Xin wasn’t dead, yet was hit with another shocking realization.

"Repeat yourself? It’s Mr. Nalan who is engaged to your sister? Him personally?"
