C11 Jealousy 2

"I really have to thank you, Stepmom. If it weren't for your introduction, I wouldn't have met such a great person," Nuange said with a sweet, shy smile that nearly made everyone faint with frustration.

Xia Lan felt completely out of sorts. This was indeed her doing, even if it was a mix-up, and she wasn't happy about it!

"Hmph, so pleased with yourself. If he finds out you're thrilled over just a necklace, he'll definitely look down on your lack of sophistication."

"Thanks for the advice, Qianqian. I promise I won't embarrass the family," Nuange replied with a smile, watching their faces twist with annoyance. She didn't give them a chance to speak further. "I'm a bit tired. Baihe said he’d pick me up tomorrow to get the dress fitted, so I'm heading back to rest."

"Nuange..."

"Dad, Baihe said he’s taking care of the dress and the venue. He told me to just relax and not to worry about anything. He said he doesn't want to see me looking tired; it’s not a good look."

Yu Zhengxin forced a smile. "Go on, then."

"Honey."

"Be quiet!" Yu Zhengxin said coldly. He appreciated Xia Lan's gentle nature but didn't like being bossed around. Qin Baihe was clearly interested in Nuange, visiting every day. If the family made any wrong moves, they wouldn't be able to handle his wrath.

Nuange didn't need to guess what Yu Zhengxin was thinking. Seeing the whole family sitting there earlier, she knew they had something in mind. After thinking it over, she suddenly had a flash of insight and let out a cold laugh.

Hopefully, nothing happens, or else... A sharp glint flashed in Nuange's eyes, her lips curling with a hint of coldness.

"Honey, didn't we agree on this before?" Xia Lan said anxiously, but was stopped by Zhengxin.

"Mom, what's going on here? How could that woman be so lucky! Qin Baihe, the best heir of the Qin family! Even if he's sick, he's handsome, capable, and his family is powerful! How could she get such a good thing..."

Qianqian stormed back to her room, gripping Xia Lan's arm in anger. "Mom, it's not fair! Why should that ugly woman get him? She must have used some underhanded means. I have to expose her! I want Qin Baihe to see who Nuange really is!"

"Mom... Mom..."

"Qianqian, don't worry. We'll figure something out. Just stay calm."

Qianqian had found photos of Qin Baihe online, and she thought no one could compare to him. Even if he couldn't see, he was so handsome, wealthy, and influential—he should be hers!

"The wedding is still over a month away, don't rush."

"Mom, what do you think Dad's stance is?"

"Heh, he's just afraid of offending the Qin family and getting himself into trouble," Xia Lan sneered. "Don't worry, the Qin family is too big to truly be interested in your sister. There must be another reason."

No matter what, there's no way Nuange can marry Qin Baihe. Otherwise, not only would they lose control over her, but she might even turn the tables on them.

Thinking about Yu Zhengxin's attitude, Xia Lan sneered. She never had any expectations from that selfish and arrogant man.

"Don't worry, Mom will figure something out."

"Mom, I'm counting on you."

Although Yu Qianqian trusted her mom, she wasn't going to put all her hopes on her. She decided to take action herself.

When Assistant Liang arrived to pick someone up, he saw a young woman approaching. She was dressed to the nines, with exquisite makeup. Her purple dress highlighted her curvy figure, and her alluring eyes, full of charm, were fixed on him with a smile.
