Chapter 132 - Powerless

"Director Gao! Ah, our VIP. This way, please!" 

"Master Qin! I just read your work a few days ago, please come in!"

***

It was a bustling scene. jam-packed with cars and people, in front of the Guans.

One could see celebrities from all walks of life dressed up elegantly, as well as noblewomen and socialites dressed in high fashion.

Qin Yu had never been to such an occasion, but she was not afraid. Although she had not received any special training, her demeanor was still elegant and magnanimous, just like a real socialite.

She was born with a noble demeanor. She didn't need any training to control herself.

"Cousin!" Came a call in surprise. Bai Ting, who was wearing a white dress, walked forward with a happy expression, her gaze following Ning Chen closely.

No matter how luxurious the other people present were dressed, the moment Ning Chen appeared, they were instantly reduced to mere background presence.

"Cousin, let's go in together. I'll help you. There are so many people here." Bai Ting walked forward eagerly, ready to help Ning Chen.

Qin Yu, who had been standing behind Ning Chen all this time, suddenly stepped forward and blocked Ning Chen from view.

"What are you doing? I won't let you disturb us again. Bad woman, go away!"Qin Yu was on full alert as if Bai Ting was a menace.

Only then did Bai Ting see Qin Yu.

How could this fool be more beautiful than her?

When Bai Ting saw Qin Yu, who had become even more beautiful and eye-catching after dressing up, the jealousy and hatred in her heart surged wildly, making the trademark gentle and beautiful smile on her face tinged with evil.

"That incident last time was an accident. Xiao Yu, how can you say such things about me? I was also kind-hearted at that time and merely wanted to help him."

Bai Ting defended herself through gritted teeth. Seeing that the people around her were gradually moving away, she adjusted the smile on her face, and continued, "Look, you still need someone to take care of you. Today, so many elders from the four big families and celebrities from all places have come here. Let me take care of him. If you stay by his side, I'm afraid that others will secretly make fun of the Ning family."

Hmph, an idiot like Qin Yu was not worthy of coming to such a place, okay?

If she were to lose her sanity, wouldn't she be a disgrace to the Ning family?

Qin Yu grabbed Ning Chen's arm tightly and looked at Bai Ting in surprise. "How can you be so shameless? I'm Chen's wife. It's only right for me to stay with him. If you follow him around instead, how will the others see you? Are you going to say that you're the umm... mistress? I've seen it on TV. Do you want to be his mistress?" 

"How dare you!" Bai Ting was so angry that her body trembled slightly. "Don't slander me! I'm an innocent woman!"

"Well then, leave us alone! He is a married man and I'm his wife!" Qin Yu held Ning Chen in a domineering manner as if Ning Chen was her exclusive toy.

"You..." Bai Ting swallowed the word "Idiot". Her heart hurt as if it was bleeding.

A fool humiliated her, but she couldn't retaliate. Otherwise, she would embarrass the Ning family.

She was so angry!

Idiot, don't be arrogant. When you are kicked out of the Ning family, I'll see how you remain just as proud now!

Thinking of the plan that she had secretly schemed for many days, Bai Ting suppressed the anger in her heart.

Qin Yu held Ning Chen's hand proudly. When the two of them passed by Bai Ting, Qin Yu turned her head and made a face at Bai Ting, which again infuriated Bai Ting.

The mansion of the Guan family was handed down from generation to generation. The number of families with such a background in M city could only be counted with one hand. Looking at the magnificent and luxurious manor that looked like a palace, Qin Yu was shocked.

"I didn't expect that Guan Yue's family to be that rich." No wonder Shi Xiao didn't even fancy the Ning family. She was bent on getting close to the Guan family.

Of course, it was because Ning Chen was blind, but more importantly, it was because of the power of the Guan family.

At this moment, many arrived at the banquet hall. For such a gathering of the upper class, those who could come were either rich or noble or held official positions.

As soon as Qin Yu and Ning Chen appeared, many people came forward to welcome them.

"Oh, Ning Chen, you've grown so big in the blink of an eye. Your eyes... are still the same?"A man with a big belly raised a glass of red wine and narrowed his eyes at Ning Chen. It seemed that he was banking on Ning Chen's inability to see, although his tone was quite polite, however, there was a hint of mocking in his eyes.

Over the years, the second wife of the Ning family didn't only plan to divide the power in the family, but also paid great attention to the guidance of public opinion. Not only did they make connections with the powerful, but they also spared no effort in hinting that the second wife had long taken control of the decision-making power of the Ning family.

And because Ning Chen was blind and rarely appeared in public, in the eyes of outsiders, the one who could really make the decision in the Ning family now was the family members of the second wife.

Ning Chen was just a weakling.

"Thank you for your concern, Uncle Fu. I'm still looking for a doctor for my eye disease." Ning Chen smiled faintly.. However, in the eyes of those who were watching the show, his plain smile was interpreted as a forced smile.
