Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!-Chapter 293: Large-Scale Face-Slapping at the Engagement Ceremony (Part 18)

"Sister Xin said she wants to study seriously and doesn’t want you, this dummy, bothering her during self-study, okay!"

"Hmph, Sister Xin is self-studying, not you!"

The excited shouts reached Nalan Ye Jue and Lu Geng.

Lu Geng stumbled: How could Miss Qin, that weakling, be called "Sister Xin" by her classmates, such a street-smart name?

Moreover, wasn’t it always rumored that Miss Qin was a meek pushover constantly bullied at school?

Now it seems there’s no bullying at all, only being everyone’s favorite!

Nalan Ye Jue also cast a faint glance at the excited Class 2 students.

Those kids were quite persistent; since they weren’t allowed into the sealed-off area, they waited quietly until now.

He pondered briefly, then wheeled himself forward: "Show me her message."

He needed final confirmation.

His imposing aura made most Class 2 students feel a chill.

This man was ridiculously good-looking, but also terrifyingly cold.

Ao Xinghao raised his chin and felt a bit angry thinking about how this man just pushed them out without a word: "Why should I give it to you? Who are you to her?"

The man replied indifferently, "I’m her brother."

Ao Xinghao was taken aback, looking somewhat uncomfortable.

But soon, he hummed skeptically: "I’ve never heard Qingxin mention she has a crippled brother. Besides, if you want to know Qingxin’s whereabouts, ask her yourself. Maybe she’s not even taking your calls, huh? Since that’s the case, we obviously can’t tell you where she is! You better reflect on whether you’ve been too uncaring towards her, haha!"

Nalan Ye Jue’s face darkened.

He didn’t argue but turned his wheelchair and said to Lu Geng, "Let’s go."

Judging by this kid’s attitude, Lan Qingxin should be fine.

But still...

He instructed Lu Geng, "Call Principal Shi of Imperial University. Last time I asked him to increase the male students’ physical education and moral classes. Has he implemented it? If not..."

He paused, "I don’t mind replacing him with someone who will."

Lu Geng: "...!"

Young Master, with this threat, I bet Principal Shi will make the male students cram extra sessions overnight.

Golden Diamond Corridor.

It’s been over half an hour since the engagement ceremony was supposed to start.

The male lead still hasn’t returned.

The guests initially exchanged pleasantries with smiles, but now many are getting restless.

They began whispering anxiously: "Could it be true what Miss Qin said earlier, that Young Master doesn’t want to get married, and today he’s being forced, so he’s using silent treatment and not showing up to break off the engagement?"

"Oh no, if that’s the case, Miss Qin is in trouble..."

"Yes, yes, what a bad reputation, to be abandoned by a man at the engagement ceremony..."

"And I’ve always wondered why Young Master suddenly got engaged? A man like him shouldn’t want a woman sharing his wealth, right?"

"If today’s ceremony falls apart halfway, it’ll be so awkward..."

"It’s not just Young Master, even his parents haven’t arrived yet."

"That’s so obvious then, the Nalan Family must not want to marry into a smaller family like the Qin Family, right?"

The relatives’ discussions drifted into the ears of Mrs. Qin and Qin Wenrou.

Mrs. Qin indeed looked awkward, not knowing how to handle the situation.

But Qin Wenrou felt secretly pleased.

Heh, her subtle hints finally paid off.

See, sooner or later, people will realize that Qin Xin means nothing to Mr. Nalan!
