Chapter 415 - 416: Need to Know You Better
After Shen Ruozhuo left unwillingly, Qin Sheng turned to Lou Xi and said, "Sit down, the luncheon has started."
Lou Xi froze for a moment, then reacted when Qin Mobai tightened his grip slightly on her waist, saying, "Okay, Grandpa."
Just like Qin Moxi told Shen Ruozhuo earlier, Lou Xi is now part of the Qin Family. Since she married into their family, there’s no reason for her to be wronged.
If Lou Xi were wronged, it would be embarrassing for the Qin Family, suggesting that such a prominent family couldn’t even protect their own daughter-in-law, what kind of capability would they have?
Qin Sheng nodded slightly and returned to his seat.
At this moment, when Lou Xi looked at the people at the main table again, she noticed their eyes were no longer so indifferent, but rather held some admiration.
She sat down with Qin Mobai. He asked in a low voice, "Apart from calligraphy, what other skills do you have that I don’t know about?"
Lou Xi turned her head slightly, gave a mysterious smile, "You’ll have to discover them slowly."
She even kept him guessing.
To outsiders, Qin Mobai’s words might sound quite serious, but she couldn’t retort in public!
"I’ll be waiting," Lou Xi countered.
Then, Qin Mobai gave Lou Xi a look for her to comprehend.
...
Over there, Shen Ruozhuo returned to her seat, unwilling to stay a moment longer.
However, if she left now, it would be even more embarrassing. She had to endure the wedding banquet until the end!
Shen Ruozhuo initially hoped for some comfort from her mother Ye Qingqian, but when she turned towards her, she found Ye Qingqian staring at the main table in a trance.
Shen Ruozhuo followed Ye Qingqian’s gaze and coincidentally saw Lou Xi!
She immediately felt anger when seeing her; presumably, her mother felt the same way!
"Mom," Shen Ruozhuo said with a mix of sweetness and flattery, "I’ve come over."
Ye Qingqian shifted her gaze from Lou Xi upon hearing Shen Ruozhuo’s voice and asked her, "The one wearing the qipao, that’s Qin Mobai’s bride?"
When Lou Xi wore a wedding dress and walked down the red carpet earlier, she didn’t pay much attention. After all, she was only here to maintain the superficial peace between the two families, to prevent some people from taking advantage.
However, seeing the girl in the qipao now, her heart suddenly trembled.
"Yes, it’s Lou Xi!" Shen Ruozhuo spoke about Lou Xi with evident disgust, "She’s an orphan, Qin Mobai gave her adoptive parents several million for her. She must be with him for the money!"
One day, Lou Xi’s true nature will inevitably be revealed.
She wasn’t in a hurry; she was waiting for that day to come, so she could step all over Lou Xi.
As she pondered this, Ye Qingqian stood up from her chair.
"Mom, where are you going?"
"I’m feeling a bit unwell, I’m leaving first." Ye Qingqian didn’t wait for Shen Ruozhuo’s response, she rose from her chair and walked straight outside.
Back in the car, Ye Qingqian took out her phone to call Shen Yucheng, her husband.
"Yu City, I saw...a girl who looks very much like my sister."
