"Hmph!"

Qianqian's face was a storm of anger, her eyes blazing with resentment. Meanwhile, Zhengxin sat comfortably on the couch, chuckling, "Nuange is back. How was your trip? I heard you went to pick out a dress, right?"

"Yeah, but I ended up hiring a designer to make one."

"Oh, a designer?"

"Yes, his name is Charles."

"What!"

Qianqian shrieked as soon as the words left her mouth. Charles was the hottest designer in recent years, both domestically and internationally. His creations were often described as divine. Young and confident, with a versatile style, he was a rising star in the fashion world. Not just anyone could hire him; even a famous international celebrity was reportedly turned down by him recently.

And now, he's designing a dress for Nuange?

This was outrageous! How could this happen?

Qianqian's chest heaved with anger, but she caught Xia Lan's warning glance and reluctantly sat down, swallowing her frustration.

Zhengxin watched his eldest daughter with a satisfied smile. The more attention she received, the higher her future status would be. Thinking about the family's latest pharmaceutical developments, he narrowed his eyes, plotting his next move.

The Qin family was unmatched in this field, with their own farms, factories, research institutes, pharmacies, and hospitals. Their business spanned the entire country, and they had even introduced traditional medicine abroad.

Certainly, the Qin family isn't just involved in the herbal medicine industry; they have their hands in other sectors too, making them almost untouchable. Even a small opportunity from them could elevate the Yu family significantly. That's why it's crucial to build a good relationship now.

Xia Lan sat to the side, her eyes filled with venomous jealousy, the corners of her eyes creased with resentment. Yet, when Yu Nuange glanced her way, she quickly replaced her expression with one of warm affection, as if genuinely happy for her.

"Well, well, it's great that the Qin family values you so much. Nuange, if they like you, you should treat them well, be obedient and sweet, understand?"

"I understand," Yu Nuange replied, blushing. "Baihe says he likes how well-behaved I am. In a couple of days, he's taking me to pick out some jewelry, saying the Qin family's daughter-in-law should be glamorous."

"Good, just do as he arranges, and be compliant."

"I understand."

The father-daughter duo was putting on a show of familial harmony, while Xia Lan was practically fuming. Just then, her son walked in, and she felt a sense of pride. So what if Yu Nuange had a good match? It all depended on what others were willing to give her. Her son was the true heir of the Yu family.

"What's going on here?" Yuh Zhaoran asked, confused by the odd atmosphere. It had only been a week, after all.

"Hmph! You're really on a roll, aren't you? Now that you've caught the eye of someone important, you're acting all high and mighty," Qianqian couldn't hide her jealousy.

"Enough!"

Zhengxin was trying to bond with his eldest daughter and didn't want anyone ruining it. Although Xia Lan's expression wasn't the best, she maintained a smile. She glanced at Zhaoran, raised an eyebrow as a signal, and then looked away.

"Really? That good?"

Zhaoran smiled and walked over naturally. "Congratulations, sis."

"Thanks," Nuange replied with a cold smirk. Compared to Qianqian's blatant hostility, he was even harder to deal with.
