Qin Ting looked at Lin Xi resentfully. He didn't want this chance to save a beauty at all. If his body had not been able to balance itself just now, she would have probably fallen down to the ground, not to mention save a beauty.
Qin Ting felt wronged, but Lin Xi pretended not to see anything.
Just then, the girl with a sprained leg suddenly thanked Qin Ting and said: "I'm sorry, thank you for supporting me just now, or else I would have definitely fell down."
When Qin Ting heard the voice, he realized that the girl that he had just saved was really a beauty. He immediately put away the wronged look on his face, and politely smiled at her: "You're welcome."
As he spoke, he carefully examined the girl, and suddenly asked with a frown: "Which family are you from? Why can't I remember seeing you? "
Although there were a large number of people in the Qin’s and most people might not necessarily be able to remember everyone's name, because everyone would gather together every New Year, they could still recognize each other. As for the girl in front of him, Qin Ting had no impression of her.
The girl raised her head and answered: "I am Yan Huizhu's goddaughter, and this is my first time coming to the Qin family." Although she was talking to Qin Ting, her beautiful eyes landed on him.
Just as she finished her sentence, the door in front of her was suddenly opened from the inside. A middle-aged woman who was bejewelled by jewels walked out.
Coincidentally, the person who came was Yan Huizhu — — The mother of the girl who had twisted her leg just now, and also Qin Yu's second aunt.
When Yan Huizhu saw Qin Yu, she immediately greeted him passionately: "I was just wondering why the entrance was so lively. So it's Qin Yu who came, why are you all standing there foolishly? "Hurry up and come in."
As she said that, she turned to the girl with a sprained leg, took her hand and said: "Yun'er, quickly come over. Let me introduce you, this is Qin Yu, the current owner of the Qin family. Didn't you always say that you wanted to meet her? Come over and say hello. "
Tao Yuner walked up and shyly glanced at Qin Yu, then extended his right hand and said: "Nice to meet you, my name is Tao Yuner."
Lin Xi raised her brows as she looked at the situation in front of him.
They were afraid that Tao Yuner was lying when she fell and wanted to seduce Qin Yu. Moreover, Qin Yu's second aunt's attitude was also very thought-provoking.
She was clearly still a fiancee, yet Yan Huizhu, in front of her, openly wanted to introduce her beautiful foster daughter to Qin Yu …
Did he think she was invisible?
Lin Xi glanced at Tao Yuner's hand that was stretched out in midair, waiting to shake hands with him, then looked at Qin Yu who had yet to make a response. She naturally reached out her hand, clasped her right hand with her fingers, and even shook it lightly: "I'm hungry, let's not go inside the house to eat now?"
Tao Yuner extended her right hand out and grabbed onto Qin Yu's right hand. Then, Qin Yu would no longer be able to shake hands with Tao Yuner.
Of course, the reason why she did this was not because she was jealous. It was because she did not like being 'invisible' in front of others.
Qin Yu could feel the warmth coming from his hands, and as he lowered his head to look at his fingers, he couldn't help but smile.
He said, "Alright, let's go in now and begin the banquet."
After he finished speaking, he held Lin Xi's hand and walked around Tao Yuner and Yan Huizhu, and entered the room in front of him. From start to finish, he didn't even spare a glance for Tao Yuner.
Tao Yuner and Yan Huizhu were both ignored, causing Tao Yuner to feel extremely awkward, and Yan Huizhu's face did not look good either.
Qin Ting followed behind Lin Xi. Seeing Lin Xi and Lin Xi enter the room, he did not know what was going through his mind, but he actually grabbed onto Tao Yuner's hand that he had not had the chance to take away, and laughed while introducing himself: "Hello, I am Qin Yu's nephew, Qin Ting."
Tao Yuner was not at all alright right now, and could not really smile at all. She forcefully lifted the corner of her lips, and then, forcefully retracted her hand.

Lin Xi followed Qin Yu into the room. There were more than 10 people waiting in the room, and when everyone saw Qin Yu and Lin Xi come in, they anxiously invited them to sit.
Not long after, Qin Ting, Yan Huizhu and Tao Yuner also walked in.
After everyone had sat down in front of the round table, Qin Yu ordered people to serve the dishes. Then, he took the opportunity to introduce each person in the room to Lin Xi.
Lin Xi could tell from his tone that the people in this room were different from the people outside who were supported by the Qin’s and dividends. They were all people that were supported within the Qin family, and their words had a certain amount of weight.
Amongst them, Qin Yu emphasized on Second Aunt Yan Huizhu's family and Qin Ting's family.
Second Aunt, Yan Huizhu, and Second Uncle Qin Zhong were the people with the highest seniority in the clan other than the Old Madem Qin. The two of them had an only child, named Qin Man, who was one year older than Qin Yu.
Second Uncle Qin did not care about anything else, and his only hobby was to mess up his stable. Second Aunt Qin was a strong woman, and when Old Master Qin was still alive, she had always helped manage some of the businesses under Qin’s.
Second Aunt, Yan Huizhu, had very high expectations for her only daughter. Unfortunately, Qin Man only liked to do scientific research and was not interested in business. As for the Tao Yuner he had just met outside the door, she didn't know when Yan Huizhu had accepted her as her foster daughter.
Qin Li, who was also Qin Yu's older cousin, had personally promoted Qin Yu to work in the Qin’s Enterprise after he had become the person in charge of the Qin’s. Qin Li had been married twice. Three years after his first wife died, he married his current wife, Feng Ru. Feng Ru was once a rather famous movie star. After she married Qin Li, she left the entertainment circle.
Qin Li had a total of two sons, the eldest son was Qin Ting who was born from his ex-wife, while the youngest son, Qin Xuan, was born from a relationship with Feng Ru.
Although Feng Ru was Qin Ting's stepmother, their relationship was not bad. Although they were not as intimate as usual, at least they treated each other with respect.
Although it was the first time that everyone in the room had seen Lin Xi, they all seemed to be very familiar with him, enthusiastically pulling her around to ask questions, and even took the opportunity to present her with many gifts, saying that they were seeing each other once. Under Qin Yu's instructions, Lin Xi accepted them all.
Before long, the table in front of them was filled with food. Qin Yu raised his voice and said: "It's getting late, let's begin the banquet."
As Qin Yu spoke, he took a piece of fish and placed it into Lin Xi's bowl, "Didn't you say you were hungry earlier? It's not bad for the chefs in ancestral house to make vinegar fish, you can try it. "
Lin Xi was indeed a little hungry. In addition, the food in the bowl was very tempting, so she did not stand on ceremony. She picked up the fish in the bowl and started eating.
The people on the table saw that Qin Yu was the first to move his chopsticks, and started to move as well.
Just then, Yan Huizhu suddenly called out to Tao Yuner and said: "Yun'er, come sit over here. This is the first time you have come to the Qin family to celebrate the new year.
Tao Yuner said: "Sorry to trouble you all." She turned around and sat on the empty seat beside Yan Huizhu.
That seat was placed right next to Qin Yu, and was originally where Qin Yu's second uncle, Qin Zhong, was. Qin Zhong hurriedly showed his face just now and went back to his room to rest because he was not feeling well. As a result, his seat was empty.
The moment Tao Yuner sat down, his eyes stared straight at Qin Yu, as if they were glued to his body.
Lin Xi suddenly felt that the fish in her mouth was not fragrant at all.
This Tao Yuner still has no end?
Originally, she thought that it was Tao Yuner's intention to seduce Qin Yu, but now it seemed that Second Aunt Yan had deliberately made it look like it.
Although she and Qin Yu's relationship was fake, she was still Qin Yu's fiancee on the surface. For Yan Huizhu to arrange such a thing in front of her, she was looking down on her too much.
Lin Xi couldn't help but turn her head to size up Tao Yuner again. One had to say, Tao Yuner was indeed beautiful, enough to be compared to Hu Yuefei.
Unknowingly, Lin Xi suddenly felt that the vinegar fish in her bowl was a little too sour, sour to the point that it was hard to swallow.
Thus, she put down her chopsticks. The remaining half of the fish in the bowl couldn't be eaten no matter how hard she tried.
The other people on the table were all elites, everyone had heard the gist of what happened at the door, and now that Yan Huizhu intentionally made Tao Yuner sit beside him, everyone was clear about what she was trying to do.
was Qin Yu's fiancee, and the two of them were soon going to get married, so it was reasonable for her to come to ancestral house for the new year. However, Tao Yuner also came to the Qin family to celebrate New Year as her goddaughter, but it did not make sense. Especially since not only did he come with ancestral house, she was also arranged to enter this room.
It had to be known, every year, those who could come to this room to eat New Year's Eve were all people with status and achievements in the Qin family. To be able to eat at the same table as the person in charge of Qin’s was an entirely different kind of honor and affirmation. Therefore, no matter how talented one was, it was impossible for a stranger to sit in the room.
It was already inappropriate for Yan Huizhu to arrange her in this room, but now, she had intentionally placed her beside him. Seeing Tao Yuner staring at him with her charming eyes, no matter how one looked at it, Yan Huizhu felt that her goal was not simple.
Everyone in the room was dissatisfied with Yan Huizhu's arrangements, but seeing that she was an elder, they were too embarrassed to give her any face, so they didn't say much.
Qin Yu sat on the main seat and was currently focused on peeling the prawns. He did not even spare a glance for Tao Yuner, who was seated beside him.
Very soon, half of the bowl of prawns was peeled from his bowl. After wiping his hands, he very naturally switched the bowl with Lin Xi.
He had long gotten used to the people stuffing women in his family with their own thoughts. Normally, he would call for his bodyguards to drag them away, but today was New Year's Eve, and Tao Yuner was acting as Yan Huizhu's goddaughter. It wasn't good for him to cause such a ruckus, so he chose to ignore it.
Qin Yu originally thought that even if Tao Yuner had the intention to do so in front of so many people, she wouldn't do anything excessive.
Not long after Tao Yuner sat down, she deliberately rubbed her arm against Qin Yu's while he was eating.
Qin Yu was wearing a suit. Although Tao Yuner had rubbed her sleeves, he was still disgusted and felt like she had swallowed a housefly. Her expression immediately turned cold.
Just as he was about to flare up, he suddenly heard Tao Yuner's sharp scream. Someone moved even faster than him and poured wine all over Tao Yuner's body.
Lin Xi, who was at the side, held onto an empty wine cup and spoke with a haughty expression: "Sorry, I'm a petty person who likes to get jealous. You were so close to Qin Yu just now, I couldn't hold myself back for a moment."
