Chapter 519: Does Mr. Nalan Like His Sister?
Lan Yingjun cleared his throat, hesitating to speak: "He has a sister, adopted, not biological."Qin Wenrou’s ears perked up: "Have you seen her, Brother Jun?"
Lan Yingjun: "Yeah."
Qin Wenrou: "Is she very pretty?"
Lan Yingjun got goosebumps all over: "..."
Just the thought of Lan Qingxin’s dark green birthmark made him uncomfortable.
Qin Wenrou was puzzled: "Could she not be? Impossible, wouldn’t the Nalan Family consider looks when adopting a child?"
She then got curious: "Is Mr. Nalan very fond of that sister?"
Lan Yingjun found it hard to describe: "You can’t say he likes her, nor that he dislikes her."
If he liked her, why keep her in the countryside, out of sight and out of mind?
If he didn’t like her, then why was he so concerned about Lan Qingxin’s final exams that failing even affected his company’s investment?
In any case, that unattractive girl caused him to lose a lot of money, and thinking about it made him upset.
Qin Wenrou was even more curious: "Brother Jun, can you point her out to me? I’m really getting more and more eager to know."
Lan Yingjun: "She didn’t come."
Qin Wenrou: "So independent? Not coming to her brother’s engagement party or her mother’s birthday banquet, this adoptive sister has quite a character, doesn’t she? Or is it... does she have an issue with my sister becoming her sister-in-law?"
Mentioning Qin Xin, Lan Yingjun inexplicably felt irritable and didn’t want to continue: "Who knows, what’s the point of meddling in so much business."
Qin Wenrou still wanted information: "So, what’s his sister’s name, is it also Nalan?"
Lan Yingjun stood up: "I’ll go make another round of toasts, you wait here."
Not only did he avoid answering Qin Wenrou’s question, but he also left her behind again.
Qin Wenrou’s face was awkward: "..."
Brother Jun’s avoidance of the topic of Mr. Nalan’s sister was enough to prove there was definitely something wrong with that sister.
She increasingly felt that the secret Mrs. Qin would rather die than reveal was that Mr. Nalan and his sister had an affair!
So, Qin Xin’s marriage was doomed to be unhappy!
So, that sister was destined not to attend the banquet!
Qin Wenrou sat alone at the table, pondering how she could find out who exactly Mr. Nalan’s sister was and then expose this scandalous sibling romance in front of Qin Xin to ruthlessly provoke her, maybe even drive her insane.
Ha, does she think she’s so proud for marrying a good man?
The more proud you are, the harder you’ll fall.
From a distance, Qin Wenrou saw Nalan Ye Jue peeling a plate of shrimp leisurely, then grandly having a servant deliver it to the main table, at Qin Xin’s seat.
Just as Qin Xin returned to her seat after stepping out, there was fresh, already peeled shrimp for her to eat.
Watching Qin Xin nibble on the shrimp, Qin Wenrou forcefully twisted off the shrimp head in her hand.
She always peeled shrimp for Lan Yingjun when they were together.
How could Mr. Nalan’s noble hands peel shrimp for Qin Xin!
It infuriated her.

By the end of the banquet, Qin Wenrou finally thought of a breakthrough.
She seized the opportunity in the crowd, closely following Jun Ruyi’s footsteps.
When they reached the quieter lawn, just before Jun Ruyi got into her car to leave, Qin Wenrou quickly approached and whispered:
"Miss Jun, it’s a pleasure to meet you. If my sister Qin Xin upset you today, I apologize on her behalf. If there’s anything regarding my sister you need me to do, just let me know."
