Tao Yuner was wearing a pure white formal dress today. Most of the red wine in her cup had splashed onto her face and hair.

The red wine on her hair dripped onto her clothes, staining them a bloody red. She looked even more bedraggled.

As Yan Huizhu was close to him, Yan Huizhu was also affected, and her body was splashed with red wine.

She turned around and saw Tao Yuner's appearance and immediately got angry. She got up and reprimanded Lin Xi: "This is the dining table of Qin’s, what are you doing? Everyone was sitting at the same table, eating together. You haven't even passed the door yet and you're already so arrogant. Once you marry Qin Yu, won't you overturn the heavens in ancestral house? Our Qin family cannot afford a wife like you! "

Lin Xi scolded, she was not afraid of the furious Yan Huizhu at all.

When they met at the entrance, she had already noticed that Yan Huizhu didn't really like her. Since the other party had picked a fight first, she would definitely not hold it in either.

She slammed the empty cup down on the table and coldly said: "Whether or not the Qin family wants me to be their wife, what you say doesn't count. If Qin Yu were to say that he wanted to break the engagement with me, I will leave without a second word. But as long as I am still Qin Yu's fiancee, I will never allow any woman to be so close to him, if not, I will make a fool of myself! "

"You!" Yan Huizhu clenched her teeth in anger, but she was worried about her identity, and did not want to make a fuss about it, so she turned towards Qin Yu and said, "Qin Yu, everyone is watching this, it's fine if she dares to talk back to me. I am an elder after all, so I can let her off, but Yun'er spilled some red wine for no reason, she has to apologize to Yun'er!"

Yan Huizhu glanced at Bai Nianxi as she spoke, undisguised disgust in her eyes.

She really did not like Bai Nianxi.

Bai Nianxi was only a little girl who came from a countryside. No matter her identity, status, or character, she was not worthy of Qin Yu. That was why her grandfather had saved Qin Yu before, and thus had the chance to enter the Wealthy Class.

However, in Yan Huizhu's opinion, if she wanted to repay a debt of gratitude, she would just give Bai Nianxi a little more. There was no need to let Qin Yu marry her at all. If Bai Nianxi really became a "Mrs. Qin" in the end, with her background, wouldn't she be laughed out of her wits by the other families?

Furthermore, Yan Huizhu had secretly asked around, but the person Qin Yu loved was a little star Lin Xi who had already jumped off the building, and the relationship between him and Bai Nianxi was just for the old lady to see, that was why she had personally found Tao Yuner, who was as beautiful as Lin Xi and had a good family background, and took him back to ancestral house as her daughter.

She admitted that she had her own selfish motives for befriending Tao Yuner and the Qin family, but more importantly, she was doing it for the face of the Qin family. Qin Yu should understand and understand her.

Yan Huizhu glanced at Lin Xi, then turned to look at Qin Yu, waiting for him to give him a satisfactory answer.

Lin Xi was also waiting for Qin Yu's verdict on her.

She knew that she shouldn't be so impulsive, Yan Huizhu had a high position in the Qin family, if she were to recklessly fight with Yan Huizhu in such a manner, it would be difficult for Qin Yu.

But when she saw Tao Yuner stick herself onto Qin Yu, in that instant she was really too angry.

She admitted that she was jealous. She could not bear to be near him by any other woman!

She didn't know how Qin Yu would handle this matter, nor did she know if he would try to protect her, but even if he didn't, so what? At worst, he could just break off the engagement with her, and she could easily end her thoughts on him.

Lin Xi was just imagining the worst, when she suddenly felt warmth in her hands. She subconsciously looked down and saw Qin Yu holding her hand.

Qin Yu calmly said, "The prawn will catch cold in a while."

He did not say who was right or wrong, nor did he mention anything about apologizing, but he gently reminded Lin Xi to eat her prawns.

With that, Qin Yu waved to the bodyguard at the door and instructed him: "Take Miss Tao home, and buy her a new set of formal attire as compensation."

"I want to see who dares?" Seeing that her demands were completely ignored, Yan Huizhu felt embarrassed, standing up and blocking between Tao Yuner and the bodyguard, she questioned Qin Yu: "You can't be so biased towards her just because she's your fiancee …"

"I don't understand Second Aunt's words," Qin Yu interrupted her. "I don't favor my fiancee, how can I side with an outsider?"

Qin Yu openly admitted that he was biased, which undoubtedly also meant that he was telling everyone that Bai Nianxi was one of his protectors, and warning everyone to not think about her.

Everyone present could hear the hidden meaning in his words, but Yan Huizhu's heart was stuffed with anger, but she still stubbornly continued to confront the bodyguard, and was not willing to give way — — Today, she was going to make Bai Nianxi apologize.

She was Qin Yu's second aunt, she did not believe that Qin Yu would openly offend her and tell his bodyguards to drag her away as well.

However, she had forgotten that there was a daughter in the house who had a different heart from her own.

Although Qin Yu's identity wasn't good enough to make a move on her, his daughter Qin Man didn't have this kind of worry: "Mum, speak less, do you really think of outsiders as your daughter?"

Qin Man pulled Yan Huizhu away as she spoke, and indicated for the bodyguard to bring Tao Yuner out.

"You …" Although Yan Huizhu was dissatisfied with Qin Man pulling her away, she had doted on Qin Man since she was young, and was unwilling to even say anything heavy to Qin Man, so she could only suppress her anger and allow her bodyguard to bring Tao Yuner away.

She glared at Qin Man and complained: "Isn't it because you've grown up and stayed abroad? I don't even have someone by my side to keep me company.

It was true that she loved Qin Man, but it was also true that she blamed Qin Man.

It was normal for Qin Man to work abroad, but she could only stay at home to accompany her for three days during the Spring Festival. It was said that there was no Spring Festival abroad, and there was no holiday at all. Counting the time she had spent with her daughter in the past year, it hadn't even been half a month!

But who was she doing all this for, not Qin Man? But this daughter of hers always turned her elbows out and never took her pains into consideration.

Qin Man scoffed and said, "Be obedient, she won't go home and accompany her parents, but instead stay by your side. Is she really being obedient? This is obviously because she has other intentions towards you, don't be fooled by her. "

She gave Yan Huizhu a way out of her thoughts by saying that Tao Yuner had deceived her mother, so she pushed all the responsibility to Tao Yuner alone.

At least Qin Man still had her mother in her heart, so Yan Huizhu felt a little bit more comfortable. Seeing that Tao Yuner had been brought away, she was pulled back into her seat.

When she sat down, she did not forget to sneer in Bai Nianxi's direction. However, she followed Qin Man's words and naturally changed the topic to the topic of when would she return home to settle down.

There were a lot of people in the Qin’s, so a farce like today would often happen. Furthermore, it was New Year's Eve today, so no one wanted to cause a big scene and cause trouble. Therefore, when everyone saw that Qin Yu had tacitly approved of Qin Man's actions, they did not pursue the matter any further.

The next meal was much more peaceful. Lin Xi could feel that everyone was even more respectful towards her now.

The people on the table seemed to have collectively lost all their memories, as they once again blended in happiness, causing Lin Xi to be extremely shocked. She could only pretend that nothing had happened and start to eat the prawns that Qin Yu peeled for her.

Lin Xi didn't know if it was because she was angry or if it was because Qin Yu had sided with her in front of everyone, but she was in a very good mood.

It was still early after dinner, and because New Year's Eve was about guarding the year, the ancestral house had arranged all sorts of entertainment for everyone to enjoy.

Qin Ting insisted on bringing Lin Xi and Qin Yu to play mahjong, because they were still missing one person. In the end, he went to find Qin Man.

Although Qin Man was Yan Huizhu's daughter, she was nothing like Yan Huizhu.

When Qin Ting found her to play mahjong, she did not shirk from him. Instead, she openly walked in front of Lin Xi and apologized to him on behalf of her mother.

Her apology was extremely sincere, and her attitude was neither humble nor haughty. Furthermore, perhaps it was because she had always been studying abroad, but her body was also filled with the beauty of the intellect. In short, other than her appearance, she didn't seem like Yan Huizhu's daughter at all.

Lin Xi did not hate her.

Everyone was about the same age, so they quickly got to know each other. Thus, the four of them sat together at a table and began to play mahjong.

Qin Yu was Lin Xi's superior. After a few laps, Lin Xi's hands of luck flared up once again.

Just then, Qin Yu, who was sitting in the seat directly in front of her, finished reading five boxes. Lin Xi saw that she was messing around again.

Just as she was lamenting about how lucky she was, Qin Ting's little brother, Qin Xuan, suddenly stood behind Qin Yu and said: "Third Uncle, didn't you say you were fooling around earlier? Why did you send five of them out? "

Even though Qin Xuan was only six years old, under the influence of his big brother Qin Ting, he could already read and understand the gist of the cards in his hands.

Qin Xuan spoke in a carefree manner. Now Lin Xi finally knew where her good luck came from.

"Alright, I was wondering why my luck was so bad today." Qin Man pushed the card to the middle of the table and said: "I don't want to play anymore, someone wants to give money to my fiancee, we can't afford to spend so little."

Qin Ting, on the other hand, seemed to be enjoying the show: "In the past, Third Uncle had won, but this year, Third Aunt had won, so there isn't much of a difference."

Lin Xi was a little embarrassed, she wanted to return the money she won, but Qin Yu stopped her from saying: "Keep it, I'll give them each a red packet later."

At this moment, the clock in the living room rang midnight. It was already a new year.

The chef at home had prepared dumplings and dumplings and sent them over. After eating the dumplings, Qin Ting brought Qin Xuan to set off the fireworks, but Lin Xi was already sleepy.

Qin Yu looked at her, then stood up and bid farewell to the people in the hall, and brought Lin Xi to rest.

Their resting area was relatively quiet, and in the entire villa, she and Qin Yu were the only two staying, but the servants in the house had only cleaned up a single master bedroom, which also meant that she was going to sleep with Qin Yu again tonight.

Lin Xi hesitated and said: "How about we clean up another bedroom?" It was always inconvenient for a man and woman to be alone.

However, Qin Yu refused without batting an eyelid: "There are too many people in the ancestral house, I think we should just sleep in one room."

"And," he added, "the bed in the bedroom is large enough for the two of us."
