Chapter 504: Clashing at First Sight! So Ill-Mannered!
Outside the door, a woman was dressed in a flamboyant red dragon and phoenix robe, exuding wealth and boldness. Behind her followed a man looking like a butler or secretary, carrying several huge gift boxes, drawing the attention of all the guests."Madam, my father originally planned to congratulate you personally, but unfortunately, he had to attend to government affairs overseas at the last minute, so I am here to express his blessings on his behalf! Deputy Mu, quickly present the gift boxes."
As soon as the woman spoke, the guests recognized her. Wasn’t this the eldest daughter of the President Mansion, Jun Ruyi?
"So, Miss Jun is so beautiful, full of nobility, speaks candidly, and truly has her father’s demeanor."
"Of course, like father, like daughter. This Miss Jun is an outstanding student of the Imperial Royal Academy, and I heard she has now graduated and is directly serving as a director of a department at the Nalan Group."
"Wow, doesn’t that mean she has an advantageous position with Mr. Nalan?"
"I think she and Mr. Nalan truly make a good match!"
Many of the guests were not relatives of the Nalan Family and did not know that Nalan Ye Jue and Qin Xin were already engaged, so they were matchmaking actively.
Even though the Nalan Family’s relatives knew that Qin Xin and Nalan Ye Jue were engaged, an engagement is not a marriage, and even if they were married, they could still divorce.
Moreover, Mrs. Nalan had specifically instructed that the engagement should not be disclosed, which means that Qin Xin had not truly gained recognition from the Nalan Family?
Talking about being low-key?
Isn’t it just because she’s not qualified to be high-profile?
It’s all a setup for future regrets or annulments.
Therefore, the informed relatives remained silent, and some even joined in praising Jun Ruyi.
Hearing the compliments around her, Jun Ruyi felt even more spirited and smiled, "Madam, would you like to see the birthday gifts my father prepared for you? Plus, I personally picked out a gift for you, guaranteed to satisfy you..."
She generously brought a pile of gifts, but the most important one was the trophy from the auction two days ago.
She couldn’t wait to showcase it in front of everyone.
But unexpectedly.
Mrs. Nalan simply responded politely and lightly, "There’s no need for now. It’s hard carrying such heavy things. Miss Jun, why don’t you come in for some tea and rest first? I really don’t care much about gifts, it’s enough that you’re here."
As she spoke, she still tightly held Qin Xin’s hand and didn’t let go.
Jun Ruyi encountered a soft rejection, feeling a bit displeased.
Mrs. Nalan said her things were heavy and she needed rest, wasn’t she treating her like a porter? The point of her gifts wasn’t the weight, but their value, wasn’t it?
Forget it, Mrs. Nalan hasn’t seen the treasures inside yet. When she sees Xinghe’s calligraphy, she won’t say that.
After all, the intelligence indicated that Mrs. Nalan had an extraordinary admiration for Xinghe.
She was confidently pondering while glancing at Qin Xin by Mrs. Nalan’s side. She was first stunned: How did that woman arrive?
Then she was frustrated: Damn, how could that woman be everywhere?
Previously, she was just at Nalan Group, and now she’s even at their home?
Jun Ruyi couldn’t help but turn cold, giving Qin Xin a once-over: "Miss Qin, is there no upbringing in your family, coming to Mrs. Nalan’s birthday banquet in sneakers?"
As soon as she spoke, the atmosphere was filled with tension.
That’s right, Jun Ruyi wasn’t one to beat around the bush; she confronted people directly if there was an issue!
Qin Xin squinted slightly.
Before she could speak, Mrs. Nalan beat her to it, saying, "Xinxin is a daughter of my friend, she feels at home here, and she is free to wear whatever. Miss Jun, since you are a guest, why don’t you head into the hall and have some tea first."
Neither soft nor hard, yet another pointed rebuff.
If her father weren’t the president, Mrs. Nalan probably wouldn’t have given her even this shred of face.
Saying our Xinxin is ill-mannered, you’re the one with no manners!
