When Uncle Qin saw Qin Yan appear, still in his wheelchair, his smile grew wider and wider. He pretended to be sentimental as he spoke to those around him.

"Please be understanding of my nephew, Qin Yan. Although his leg is injured, he is very strong. I hope everyone can help him."

Those who understood naturally grasped the meaning behind his words, and their eyes gleamed with an unusual light when they looked at Qin Yan.

Uncle Qin stepped forward to greet him.

"Hey Qin Yan, long time no see! How's your leg lately? Is it alright?"

Yun Nuan looked at the unusually conspicuous person. He was quite tall, but the buttons on his clothes seemed to be loose enough to cover his stomach and were about to burst. She quietly moved to a different spot, worried that if they burst, at least they wouldn't hit her face.

When everyone heard Uncle Qin's greeting, their eyes involuntarily fell on his injured leg, which was covered by a thin blanket, so no one knew how it was.

The person in the wheelchair, however, was paler than everyone else, almost as pale as the woman beside him.

"Who is this woman? I've never seen her before."

People were whispering and discussing it amongst themselves, and someone who understood gave him an answer.

"She's from the Yun family, but she hasn't had any contact with the Yun family for a while. She's the daughter of Chairman Yun's ex-wife. I heard she was sickly, and her face was pale. But my daughter told me she died a while ago. How come she's still alive?"

Although she had doubts, she didn't say much. In the crowd, Yun Xue stared intently at that person. She didn't expect to see Yun Nuan here today. Shouldn't she have died outside?

"Mom, why is Yun Nuan here too? And, she's with Qin Yan."

Zhou Yue wasn't sure what was going on, but the scene before her was quite to her liking, so she comforted Yun Xue.

"What are you afraid of? Look at him, a sickly man, a lame man with no real power. What are you afraid of? Just do your best tonight."

Although Yunxue was unhappy, she understood that her target today was Lin Yu, and she would deal with Yun Nuan herself after tonight.

Xiao Yunli dismissed those who still wanted to speak, arranged for them to stay in their places, and then hurried to find his father and others to begin hosting the party.

The screen on stage lit up, and the host spoke first. Naturally, everyone wouldn't keep focusing on Qin Yan; there was plenty of time tonight.

However, in no time, everyone knew that Qin Yan's lameness was incurable, and even his fiancée was sickly. It was a truly miserable situation.

Meanwhile, Jiang Miao saw Qin Yan and Yun Nuan surrounded by the crowd and overheard their conversation, leaving her with mixed feelings.

Yun Nuan is not dead. She is standing perfectly fine in front of them tonight, but now the rumors and gossip seem to be swirling around the two of them.

"Should we still go ahead with tonight's operation? I think..." Guan Mingyue tentatively asked, and seeing that everyone's expressions were the same as hers, she felt relieved.

It seems we're all in the same boat, but we're unsure whether to continue with tonight's plans.

Lin Yu remained silent for a while, looking at the two sitting in a rather secluded corner, while everyone else was seated in the main hall. They looked pitiful no matter how you looked at them.

"I feel that I want to help them. Since we said we would protect them, then let's protect them and do my part."

Lin Yu said with a resolute expression, "At least, at least it will lessen my guilt. At least Yun Nuan isn't really dead."

“I think Lin Yu is right. Taking care of one person is the same as taking care of two people, so why should we be afraid?” Jiang Miao agreed.

Guan Mingyue actually thought the same thing. Looking at Qin Yan's face, he had become a little thinner, but he was still handsome, so handsome that it was hard to look away. Even though he was sitting in a wheelchair, his temperament was more noble than everyone else present.

He was not as dejected as the rumors suggested.

“I have nothing to do tonight anyway, so I can hold off those people without any problem,” Xu Anbai said awkwardly.

Bai Zhou did the same, and Xie Huaqin naturally followed suit, just to do something for her unattainable ideal woman.

The two were seated in a corner, but this was actually the best spot. The ribbons in front were fluttering, and the sound system was deafening. This was a spot that Xiao Yunli had specially arranged for them. It had a soft sofa, was close to the food and drinks, and offered a clear view of the entire venue.

Assistant Wen went to attend to other matters, leaving only Yun Nuan and Qin Yan. The bodyguards were outside and couldn't come in. She looked at the desserts and became increasingly hungry, but her body couldn't handle it.

He simply lowered his head and played on his phone. A couple of people came up to talk to Qin Yan from time to time, but Qin Yan quickly swayed them away with a few words.

"Have you made enemies outside?" Qin Yan asked Yun Nuan uncertainly. Since they came in, several pairs of eyes had been staring at the two of them, their expressions a mixture of sorrow and joy.

Yun Nuan was confused. Shouldn't the other person be the one to make an enemy? Why was it her?

"Are you kidding me?" she retorted.

Qin Yan gestured for her to look at the people opposite him. When they met his gaze, they hurriedly looked away and pretended to chat while avoiding his eyes.

She looked over and saw the familiar main cast. Ah, it must be something from the plot.

"Don't worry about them."

She glanced at it and looked away. She was unaware that she was being falsely accused of dying and coming back to life. If she had known, she would have immediately asked, "Are you all crazy?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the group of people came to the vicinity of the two of them and started playing games around them. However, Qin Yan was on her guard and noticed the two people mentioned in the information.

"Jiang Miao and Lin Yu." He seemed to realize something, his expression changed slightly, and the others glanced at the two of them a few times before pretending to chat.

After the person above finished speaking, everyone started socializing again, and some people carrying wine glasses headed towards Qin Yan's direction.

"Hello Qin Yan, I'm from Wuli Co., Ltd., and I'd like to get to know you." Although he greeted him, his eyes were extremely impolite, and his face was full of disdain as he looked at Qin Yan.

Previously, people addressed Qin Yan as either Mr. Qin or President Qin. Now that he's no longer with the Qin family, people dare to call him by his name directly, though he just sneers to himself.

"Who are you? What kind of incompetent company is this? That name sounds unlucky."

Before Qin Yan could even speak, a boy with blue hair spoke up first, followed by a girl next to him, Guan Mingyue.

"Yes, when you named your company, didn't you go to burn incense and pray to Buddha, or visit your ancestors' graves? Your ancestors would definitely be furious if they heard your name."

The man looked at the two of them; they were clearly rich second-generation heirs from some family. He didn't dare to provoke them easily, as everyone present today was of a much higher status than him. However, he had overheard what Uncle Qin had said.

So he came here specifically to cause trouble, but he didn't expect that Qin Yan would have someone to help him!

"Who are you? I'm talking to Qin Yan, not you." He said with a hint of anger.

Xu Anbai was naturally not afraid of a company he had never even heard of; this person must have infiltrated the company.

"You don't need to ask about our names. Companies that don't know our names shouldn't embarrass themselves in front of Mr. Qin. You should leave now."

His tone was forceful, and he faced the person without the slightest fear. If he said another word, Xu Anbai would personally kick him out.

The man wanted to argue but couldn't, so he glared at the two of them and left.

Xu Anbai and Guan Mingyue gave each other a small high five, and then Xu Anbai winked at Yun Nuan.

It was as if he was asking for credit.
