Saturday, Genting International Hotel.
The 88th floor, rooftop sky garden.
Qin Wan wore a stunning red floor-length mermaid haute couture gown. Her fair skin, delicate features, and perfectly applied makeup accentuated her beauty to the fullest.
It's so captivating that you can't take your eyes off it.
The moon shines brightly, and so does the festivities.
Upon seeing her arrive in her finest attire, the brother and sister's eyes revealed undisguised amazement and joy.
"Sister-in-law, you look so beautiful today!!!"
"..." Just as he was about to speak, Sheng Si's expression darkened as Sheng Yue spoke first, and his dangerous gaze swept over Sheng Yue.
Upon hearing this, Qin Wan looked at her with a smile, "You are beautiful too."
As she spoke, Qin Wan glanced around, and when her gaze returned to Sheng Yue, a hint of mockery appeared in her eyes.
"There are quite a few eligible boys today. Sheng Si and I will keep an eye out for you."
"If you have any favorites, feel free to tell us, and we'll help you choose."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Yue felt embarrassed for a moment, but only for a moment, and she quickly regained her composure.
"Don't worry, sister-in-law, I will choose carefully and try to find someone who is both talented and beautiful... no less than my brother."
At this point, Sheng Yue paused, and when she looked at Sheng Si, she added this meaningful sentence.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Si glanced at her indifferently and scoffed, "I don't have high expectations for you, just don't be blind again."
"..." Sheng Yue choked, her resentful gaze fixed on Sheng Si.
Watching the siblings bicker, Qin Wan's smile deepened, and the tenderness in her eyes intensified.
"Chu Yan has arrived?"
In order to divert Sheng Yue's attention and prevent her from becoming withdrawn due to anger caused by her older brother Sheng Si, Qin Wan thoughtfully changed the subject.
"Not yet."
The moment Chu Yan was mentioned, Sheng Yue's expression changed.
"The Yan family hasn't arrived yet, but the Jiang and Song families arrived very quickly."
As she spoke, Sheng Yue looked in the direction where Jiang Haochen and Song Hengzhi were with a complicated expression.
Qin Wan followed her gaze, a hint of surprise appearing in her eyes.
"Why are they looking at you like that..." Qin Wan asked suspiciously.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Yue's face stiffened, and a clear, undisguised aversion appeared in her eyes.
“Song Hengzhi is alright; he was probably just instructed by his family not to antagonize me,” Sheng Yue explained.
"As for Jiang Haochen..."
"He seems a bit off his mind; he actually said he wanted to pursue me and asked me to consider him..."
At this point, Sheng Yue's face was full of disbelief.
Does she look like someone who would be so desperate for food?
How did Jiang Haochen treat her before?
Is she crazy or out of her mind to even consider Jiang Haochen's pursuit?
Moreover, everyone knows perfectly well what Jiang Haochen's purpose is.
Hearing this, Qin Wan smiled and looked towards Sheng Si.
"Do the Jiang family and the Yan family have some personal feud?"
Sheng Si shook his head, "I haven't checked."
Upon hearing this, Qin Wan looked at Sheng Yue with a meaningful expression.
Sheng Yue hesitated for a moment, then tentatively asked, "...Should I go ask him?"
Qin Wan smiled but remained silent.
Sheng Yue tactfully walked towards Jiang Haochen's location.
Qin Wan and Sheng Si exchanged a glance, and then proceeded with the engagement banquet according to the established procedures.
After the wedding banquet, Sheng Si left the guests to his father to attend to, while he accompanied Qin Wan back to the lounge.
"You must be exhausted. Are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?" Sheng Si asked with concern.
Just as Qin Wan was about to speak, there was a knock on the door of the lounge.
"Sister-in-law, it's me."
Sheng Yue's voice rang out.
"Come in."
As soon as Qin Wan finished speaking, Sheng Yue pushed open the door and entered, carrying a tray full of delicious food.
Seeing this, Sheng Si pursed his thin lips and narrowed his eyes dangerously as he stared at Sheng Yue.
"Sister-in-law, you must be hungry after all that fuss." With that, Sheng Yue placed the tray on the table in front of Qin Wan.
“I didn’t know what you liked to eat, so I just took a little of everything. Sister-in-law, see if there’s anything else you need, and I’ll have my brother get it for you.”
Upon hearing this, Qin Wan couldn't help but chuckle.
Sheng Si's face turned completely dark, and the look in his eyes as he stared at Sheng Yue could no longer be described as simply unfriendly.
Sheng Yue ignored Sheng Si's sour face. Just as she was about to sit down next to Qin Wan, a man's long, slender hand grabbed her by the back of her collar and lifted her up.
Sheng Yue: "???"
Sheng Yue frantically protected her neck and chest, trying to prevent herself from being exposed and also to avoid being strangled.
"Outrageous!"
"You've gone too far!"
Faced with Sheng Yue's angry glare, Sheng Si sneered and reached out to pull her aside, successfully getting her away from Qin Wan.
Immediately afterwards, to Sheng Yue's disbelief, Sheng Si sat down next to Qin Wan, forcefully asserting his dominance.
Sheng Yue: "..." I'm so annoyed.
"Alright, stop fooling around." Qin Wan reached out and patted Sheng Si's hand, soothing him with a smile.
Seeing this, Sheng Si's expression improved slightly.
Qin Wan pushed the food on the tray towards Sheng Si, saying, "You should have some too."
After speaking, she turned her gaze back to Sheng Yue, asking with curiosity in her eyes, "You look good, did Jiang Haochen tell you everything?"
Upon hearing this, Sheng Yue silently gave Qin Wan a thumbs up.
"Sister-in-law, you're so smart!"
No wonder she managed to win over her arrogant brother.
Sheng Yue glared at Sheng Si with annoyance, then pulled up a chair and sat down opposite Qin Wan.
"This is what happened..."
"Jiang Haochen had a crush on a girl in junior high school, but she was blind and liked Yan Mu."
"Yan Mu, Jiang Haochen, and Song Hengzhi grew up together and were often compared by their elders, so the three of them secretly competed with each other."
"Originally, Yan Mu didn't like that girl. But after learning that Jiang Haochen had a crush on her, that scumbag Yan Mu accepted her confession and started dating her..."
“If I don’t like someone, I don’t like them. Even if we date, Yan Mu will not fall in love with her, nor will he take responsibility for her.”
After being hurt by Yan Mu several times, the girl learned the truth by chance and began to resent Jiang Haochen and Yan Mu.
"Even later, when Jiang Haochen grew up and became more sensible, he no longer liked that girl. This matter always bothered him, and Yan Mu can be considered a knot in his heart."
"So after Chu Yan appeared, Jiang Haochen started digging all sorts of traps for Yan Mu..."
"It's true that Yan Mu has been intelligent since childhood, but it's also true that he's arrogant. Because he's always been one step ahead of Jiang Haochen and Song Hengzhi, he doesn't have much of a sense of wariness towards them..."
To say they were unguarded was simply a matter of arrogance and looking down on Jiang Haochen and Song Hengzhi; they didn't take the two of them seriously.
He felt that these two were no match for him and were not worth his attention.
As for Chu Yan, it can be considered that Yan Mu paid the price for his arrogance...
