Chapter 696: Chapter 410: Shocked and Filmed
Staring at the group approaching, Qi Dong unconsciously stood up. In truth, the girl on the left was the most beautiful, yet he was inexplicably drawn to the girl on the right.
It was an unprecedented feeling of excitement, different from the blandness with Luo Ping and the deliberate interactions with Sun Min. Seeing her, he felt an impulsive desire to embrace her.
Sun Min gave him a glance, pursed her lips, and with a smile in her eyes, looked towards Shangguan Yunhong as if to say, "Mom, did you see? Is this man reliable?"
Li Yushan quickly pinched her son and Qi Dong came back to his senses, awkwardly explaining, "I was thinking of going to greet Minmin’s sister, but I wasn’t sure which one she was..."
Shangguan Yunhong’s face had already soured. This was happening right in front of the main person involved; if it’s already like this, it seems her sister did have a point.
Li Yushan glared fiercely at her son and hurriedly tried to smooth things over: "Dongdong has little contact with girls. He wanted to be polite but didn’t know how to proceed; please be understanding, dear in-laws."
Sun Min silently rolled her eyes and stood up, walking towards Ying Nuo who was just a few steps away: "Come introduce me to these beautiful sisters, who are they?"
"Hello Sun Min sister, I am Luo Ye."
"Hello Sun Min sister, I am Yan Xingnong."
Luo Ye and Xing Nong introduced themselves proactively, and Ying Nuo blinked at Sun Min: "They say seeing is believing, right?"
"Yes, yes, they are even more beautiful in person," said Sun Min while holding onto both Luo Ye’s and Xing Nong’s hands. "Nuonuo often talks about you, I’m quite jealous."
Xing Nong chuckled: "Sun Min sister gets to see Nuonuo often, we’re jealous too. By the way, did you know Nuonuo already has a boyfriend?"
"Really?" Sun Min grabbed Ying Nuo’s arm firmly, "You little trickster, you’ve been hiding it from me, come on, which family’s boy is it?"
Ying Nuo laughed and pulled her hand away, "Let’s go greet your aunt and uncle first, everyone is looking this way. We can’t be too oblivious, right?"
Shangguan Yunhong quickly said, "No worries at all, you young people haven’t seen each other in a long time, it’s natural to feel excited. The aunt and uncle are very understanding."
"Hello big aunt, hello big uncle, this is Luo Ye, this is Yan Xingnong." Ying Nuo introduced Luo Ye and Xing Nong once again.
"Hello aunty, hello uncle," said Luo Ye and Xing Nong, offering greetings cooperatively, sharing a resigned look. Receiving guests was indeed the most troublesome.
Shangguan Yunhong warmly pulled Luo Ye and Xing Nong and said, "I’ve met Ye’er before at Nuonuo’s place, truly a young lady changes eighteen times. If it wasn’t for Nuonuo’s introduction, I wouldn’t have recognized her. Xing Nong, are you a new friend of Nuonuo?"
Xing Nong cheerfully responded, "Yes, Nuonuo and I became friends in the second term of Grade 11; you could say it was an instant connection."
Li Yushan’s expression soured. Wang Xiao’s words had already hinted that the two girls came from extraordinary families. With such a good opportunity, the in-laws only caring for themselves seemed too selfish. Could it be... was Shangguan Yunhong thinking of connecting with higher branches?
Thinking of this possibility, Li Yushan passionately asked Shangguan Yunhong, "Dear in-law, why don’t you introduce them to us as well?"
Mrs. Nuo took over the conversation, "Let me introduce them. Luo Ye is the precious daughter of Secretary Luo, our big boss, and Yan Xingnong is the granddaughter of General Yan Sanping who commands the 42611 unit stationed in Island City."
Everyone except Shangguan Yunhong was startled, taking a long moment to regain their composure. For them, mere department and bureau level officials, an opportunity to merely glimpse such high-level leaders occurred maybe once or twice a year during open meetings; to think of connecting with their families was out of the question.
Why hadn’t their own children made friends at such levels? For a moment, all in the Qi Family looked at Mrs. Nuo with envy.
Luo Ye smiled faintly, "Everyone, please don’t look at us like that. My father and Xing Nong’s grandfather have high positions because of the efforts of our elders, it has nothing to do with us.
We were just curious about what kind of brother-in-law Nuonuo’s cousin had found and thought of joining in the celebration to offer a toast. I hope the uncles and aunts don’t mind our informality?"
Li Yushan, stirred, eagerly waved her hands, "Not at all, we’re more than happy to welcome you." Then she warmly pulled Sun Min’s arm, "Minmin, please accompany Miss Luo, Miss Yan and Nuonuo. Don’t mind us, Qi Dong, you adjust your seat as well. You young people, sit together as you have common topics."
Luo Ye, Xing Nong, and Ying Nuo exchanged subtle glances, the corners of their mouths curling up with smiles; they were waiting for just such an arrangement!
Revealing their identities was with the consent of the elders, naturally, this plan had already been discussed with Mrs. Nuo.
If they disdain the poor and prefer the rich, well, let them see exactly what they disdain and let them also see their preferred wealth dissipate into nothingness!
Xing Nong flashed a sweet smile at Qi Dong, "Our future brother-in-law really is a talent. How old are you this year?"
Seeing Xing Nong taking the initiative to speak to him, Qi Dong was thrilled and said, "I’m twenty-four this year, born in the year of the dragon, Scorpio."
Sun Min protested, "Whether he’s a brother-in-law is not yet a certainty, perhaps just use his name directly."
"Minmin!" Shangguan Yunhong shouted to stop her daughter, suddenly recalling the news Xing Nong had just revealed. She looked at Mrs. Nuo: "Nuonuo really has a boyfriend now?"
Mrs. Nuo nodded, "Yes, it just got settled recently. We haven’t even had time to talk to your elder sister about it."
Li Yushan’s eyes were filled with eagerness: "Whose lucky young man is it?"
Luo Ye took over the conversation: "It’s my brother. Nuonuo is going to be my future sister-in-law."
"You... your real brother?" Li Yushan’s lips trembled.
"Of course." While speaking, Luo Ye playfully tugged on Qiu Yingnuo’s ear: "You naughty girl, you secretly established a relationship with my brother. That’s not very friendly."
Ying Nuo looked troubled, "This matter, it seems it wasn’t possible to give a heads-up in advance?"
"Congratulations to my younger sister, we should really celebrate this later." Shangguan Yunhong showed sincere joy; although she could be overbearing about her daughter’s marriage, she wasn’t the type to bear grudges. She was genuinely happy if her younger brother’s family was doing well.
Mrs. Nuo contemplated, "Nuonuo’s father is currently discussing things with Secretary Luo and General Yan. Let’s go up later and greet them together."
"Okay, okay." Shangguan Yunhong suddenly pinched her husband, Sun Fuquan was stunned but then said, "Sister-in-law, is that appropriate?"
Mrs. Nuo reassured with a smile, "Don’t worry, brother-in-law. Yun Hang has already greeted Secretary Luo and General Yan."
"That’s good, that’s good." Sun Fuquan rubbed his hands together, his face full of excitement. He truly respected Secretary Luo from the bottom of his heart, unlike the previous Secretary Liu, they were not even on the same level.
"We..." Li Hongyan smilingly said, "Sister Wang, shall we..."
"Let’s all go together. Yun Hang has already discussed today’s matters with the Secretary and the General. It also happens that the Secretary and General agreed to meet everyone."
"Thank you so much, sister and brother-in-law." Li Hongyan quickly changed her tone, and her husband Qi Jiang quickly chimed in, "Thank you, sister and brother-in-law."
"Sister Wang Xiao, we really are fortunate because of you," Li Yushan said and then turned to Luo Ye Xingnong: "And thanks to Nuonuo for letting us meet Miss Luo and Miss Yan. Speaking of, what flavors do you like? I’ll order them right away."
Luo Ye waved her hand, "Auntie, no need to be polite, we are already full. We just came down because it was too stuffy upstairs. You uncles and aunties continue your chat, don’t mind us."
"Sure, sure, you young people chat." Li Yushan kept winking at her son.
Qi Jiang quickly took the teapot to pour water for the girls, saying considerately, "I read in a book that girls should drink more water for good skin."
Xing Nong blinked, "Qi Jiang, you’re so eloquent, there must be many girls who like you at university, right?"
Qi Jiang hurriedly responded, "Not at all. I don’t really like talking, and girls find me boring and don’t bother with me. So, strictly speaking, Minmin could be considered my first love."
Luo Ye’s eyes flashed with disdain. She’d seen shameless men before, but never someone as shameless as him, who could dismiss a five-year relationship so easily.
But speaking of which, Luo Ping was also rare. Knowing that concretely showing off her dad’s status could make Qi Jiang utterly devoted, yet she never considered it. Just on that point alone, she too must take action!
Of course, if Sister Luo Ping hadn’t been understanding, dad wouldn’t have agreed to cooperate in playing this kind of house-like game. Though the game might seem childish, it was the most effective form of punishment!
To make the other party regret with no one to tell their grievances!
Did they really think the Luo family was so easy to bully? She might not care about favoring the rich over the poor, but since they favored the rich over the poor, they could have simply refused Luo Ping early on. Why deliberately drag it out for five years?
A girl’s most precious thing was given to him, yet there he was, pretending to be pure in love. Ha...
Feeling Luo Ye’s suppressed anger, Ying Nuo quietly held her hand and whispered in her ear: "It’s better to part ways sooner rather than later. We should look on the bright side. Moreover, he won’t end up with a good outcome. Let’s not get angry, be good..."
Luo Ye rolled her eyes at her silently, this little sister-in-law, really playing the elder role now.
"Hehe..." Ying Nuo smiled pleasingly, "I’m just trying to cheer you up."
Seeing that the elders were recklessly flattering, and down here, Qi Jiang had already portrayed himself as an innocent little lamb, Luo Ye cleared her throat and turned to Mrs. Nuo: "Auntie, let’s go upstairs."
"Alright, alright, it’s about time. Let’s go up and greet them." Mrs. Nuo sighed with relief inwardly; she had never been praised so much in her life, she was almost nauseous.
