After personally delivering the invitation, Xiao Yunli left in a hurry. However, he stopped to chat with Yun Nuan for a while, showing great curiosity about her. If he had more time, he would have stayed for a long talk.

The group "The upper class circle and the lower class me" has become quiet because of what happened a few days ago. Recently, the Xiao family is holding a charity gala, and almost everyone has been invited. Lately, everyone has been talking about what to wear and how to dress.

Guan Mingyue: "Breaking news, the one from the Qin family is also attending the banquet."

Xie Huaqin: "I also received the news, and my dad was saddened for a long time."

Xu Anbai: "At that time, who knows what those people will say about Mr. Qin behind his back? Moreover, these kinds of banquets are all about judging people based on their status. I hope Mr. Qin won't be bullied. It's too pitiful."

After a moment of silence in the group, Jiang Miao, unable to bear it any longer, spoke up.

"Since everyone is attending the banquet, why don't we all look out for Mr. Qin and prevent some people from causing trouble? This is something we can do for Yun Nuan."

Lin Yu seconded the motion. He had been feeling guilty these past few days and couldn't shake it off. Now that there was a way to make amends, he would naturally do his best to help.

It's just protecting Mr. Qin, they can do it!

The banquet was held at a hotel owned by the Xiao family, a five-star hotel with a French architectural style, exquisite and romantic in every detail.

The roses from Damascus, flown in by air, are filled with Juliet roses, supposedly because the Shaw siblings had differing opinions, each holding their own choice.

However, thanks to the designer's arrangement, which blends passion and romance, the focus of tonight's banquet is charity. Everyone will bring their own items to the auction stage, and all proceeds will go to charity.

The Xiao family holds a certain status in S City, representing Confucian merchants. The Xiao family can be considered a semi-scholarly family. Old Master Xiao painted all his life, while Old Madam Xiao sang opera all her life. Only in Xiao's father's generation did a branch of the family split off and go into business.

Xiao's father had a talent for business and quickly established himself in S City, becoming equal to other families. Although he was still some distance from the Qin family, it did not hinder his upward progress.

The banquet hall is very large, with a front hall and an inner hall. The front hall is for conversation and interaction, while the inner hall is the auction venue.

The second floor is off-limits to unauthorized personnel; no one may go upstairs without permission from Xiao's family.

Inside the villa, Yun Nuan, with the help of a makeup artist, put on her formal attire. However, it was more like casual wear than formal attire, since who wears a coat over a formal dress?

The off-the-shoulder dress design revealed her collarbone and slender swan neck. The starry purple color sparkled as she moved. She wore a suit jacket over it, which Qin Yan had requested.

"Why is she wearing a coat?!" Her outfit looked so good, but now that she's wearing a coat, it's not showing off her clothes properly.

Qin Yan looked up at her, then looked down to reply to the message.

"Aunt Lan said she couldn't let you catch a cold, and besides, I don't think it'll make a difference if you have a coat."

The stylist next to her nodded in agreement. Wearing the dress alone was exquisite and beautiful, but it felt like something was missing. With the suit jacket draped over her shoulders and her hairstyle, she looked like a cold and aloof young lady from a Japanese anime, capable of stunning everyone in the next second.

"Wearing a suit jacket would look cooler, Miss Yun, don't worry, it really looks good."

The stylist had said so, and Yun Nuan looked in the mirror and indeed her aura had become much stronger. Qin Yan was wearing an iron gray suit with a black shirt underneath. He hadn't put on a tie yet, and a few buttons were undone. His hair wasn't completely fixed in front of his forehead, with a few strands hanging down around his eyebrows.

He had a somewhat unconventional and carefree air about him. Thick eyelashes covered his beautiful and captivating eyes. He placed his phone face down on the table, took the tie from the stylist, and started fixing it in front of the mirror.

"He's quite handsome," Yun Nuan muttered to herself as she turned around. Her voice was very soft, but Qin Yan still heard her. He smiled smugly, thought for a moment, and then went back to his room to take out the pair of cufflinks.

After the two finished getting ready, Assistant Wen was waiting at the door. She watched him pretend to sit in the wheelchair again, enjoying himself without having to walk.

Qin Yan met her envious gaze and raised his eyebrows provocatively. Yun Nuan sneered and, taking advantage of his inattention, casually pressed a button. The wheelchair drove off before Assistant Wen could even react.

When he stopped, Yun Nuan had already gotten into the car. The bodyguard opened the door and lifted her skirt; no one cared whether he lived or died.

"Miss Yun, what can I do for you?" The bodyguard said this as he left, but when he turned around and saw Qin Yan standing right next to the car door, his expression immediately returned to its cold demeanor.

"Mr. Qin has checked everything, and there is nothing wrong with the car."

He smiles kindly and innocently at Yun Nuan, but is cold and ruthless when facing her. You bodyguards have two faces!

"Get in the car."

Qin Yan didn't want to dwell on these things anymore; the double standards of the people in this villa had been going on for a long time.

The car drove towards the banquet venue. Inside, the two remained silent and did not exchange any words. One was busy replying to messages, while the other closed his eyes and pretended to sleep.

Yun Nuan's body can't handle sitting in a car for too long, and if she plays on her phone, she'll feel even more dizzy.

"If you can't stand it later, you can go upstairs to rest. You don't need to follow me around all the time, just show your face, understand?"

As long as the two of them show up tonight, he will naturally let Uncle Qin proceed with his plan. Yun Nuan's identity and his own limp are the best cover. Nothing is more reassuring than a limp man with a sickly fiancée.

Qin Yan had no idea that the situation at the scene was completely different from what he had imagined!

As the banquet was about to begin, the small group from the group arrived first. Guan Mingyue met with Xu Anbai, Bai Zhou, Xie Huaqin, and others. It was a charity gala, one part for charity and the other more for networking within the industry.

Therefore, many parents bring their children to the banquet. If they hit it off, the marriage will further enhance the cooperation between the two families.

The Yun family naturally received an invitation as well. Since losing Qin Yan as their backer, they are now seeking cooperation with other wealthy families.

Zhou Yue had been preparing for this banquet for a long time, and she was filled with pride when she looked at her daughter. Not to mention, Yun Xue was much prettier than some socialites, and she had cultivated her talents in music, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, so her temperament was far superior to others.

"Xiaoxue, you'd better seize the opportunity tonight. Lin Yu is also attending the banquet, and Mom has a lot of confidence in you."

The dress was a light pink color, with an off-the-shoulder design that went around the back with a large openwork section, cleverly woven with rope. She wore a string of pearls with excellent color, and her hair was pulled up, with only a few strands falling casually from her forehead.

Creating a natural sense of pure desire, Zhou Yue intuitively felt that no man could resist it, so the stylist quickly left after finishing the final touches.

As soon as the stylists left, Zhou Yue looked dissatisfied and complained.

"I don't know who hired hJ's stylist. This stylist is barely acceptable. My Xiaoxue is so pretty, but her makeup is a bit off. Mom will fix it for you."

Yunxue was secretly nervous, letting Zhou Yue help her make the changes. She looked at herself in the mirror and thought she looked beautiful. Lin Yu would definitely see her tonight!
