Chapter 124 Delivering the Property Certificate
Wu Yulan wore a smug expression and looked at Qin Yingxue with a smile, saying, "Sister Qin, this gift is too precious for me to accept."
"If you consider me your older sister, then accept me." Qin Yingxue saw that Wu Yulan had just tied her hair up in a bun, so she took out the jade hairpin and gently inserted it.
"How beautiful! This jade hairpin suits you perfectly, Yu Lan." A young girl exclaimed with admiration.
Wu Yulan was even happier. She reached out and touched it, a shy expression on her face: "Thank you, Sister Qin. Don't leave after the wedding banquet. I need to talk to you."
Qin Yingxue was stunned for a moment, unsure how to refuse.
But she had limited time in Yanjing, and so far she hasn't seen a trace of the courtyard house!
"Sister Qin..." When Wu Yulan saw that Qin Yingxue did not agree immediately, she took her arm and shook it coquettishly.
Qin Yingxue felt a gaze fixed on her. Instinctively, she looked up and saw Huo Shaoting's familiar peach blossom eyes. Her heart stirred, and she nodded.
Wu Yulan was immediately delighted: "Sister Qin, you must wait for me! I'll go and offer my greetings and toasts first, and then I'll come find you right away."
A lively commotion arose in the distance, and the groom, dressed in a blue suit, walked confidently toward them with a group of people.
Wu Yulan patted Qin Yingxue's hand: "Sister Qin, wait for me."
Qin Yingxue nodded, and seeing Wu Yulan being led away by the groom, she couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
It's really impossible to walk now!
Firstly, I had promised Wu Yulan, and I didn't want to disappoint her.
Furthermore, if he insists on leaving, Huo Shaoting will definitely doubt himself again.
I can only stay here for now and leave after everyone has left.
"Comrade Qin, what a coincidence."
Just as Qin Yingxue was feeling depressed, Huo Shaoting, dressed in a black suit, appeared in front of her.
Qin Yingxue raised an eyebrow, her first reaction being to look at the person beside her.
It seems that Pei Xiang has disappeared since Wu Yulan appeared.
When she looked up at Huo Shaoting, she saw Pei Xiang standing behind him, grinning at her. She couldn't help but sigh inwardly, "Comrade Huo."
"May I ask, out of curiosity, how did you meet Wu Yulan?" Huo Shaoting asked, staring at her.
Upon hearing this, Qin Yingxue gave a charming smile: "No. Excuse me, I need to go to the restroom first."
After Qin Yingxue finished speaking, she didn't look at his reaction and walked in the direction Pei Xiang had told her earlier.
Huo Shaoting's expression froze.
"Young Master Huo, should we continue?" Pei Xiang asked.
"No need." Huo Shaoting shook his head, then, out of the corner of his eye, he saw someone walking towards him with a big smile. He adjusted his expression and greeted them with a smile.
Qin Yingxue washed her face and looked at her wet face in the mirror, her brows furrowing involuntarily.
It seems that Huo Shaoting has not yet dispelled his suspicions about him. If he leaves rashly, it will only make Huo Shaoting keep a closer eye on him.
For now, I can only stay here and clear myself of suspicion.
but……
Qin Yingxue's face regained its radiance.
The place is packed with guests, most of whom are prominent figures. You might get some unexpected insights from them!
Qin Yingxue originally wanted to take advantage of a bargain, but unfortunately she had no connections or acquaintances.
Qin Yingxue spent a little time in the restroom, and after calming herself down, she went to the auditorium.
The bride and groom were serving tea to the elders under the emcee's chants, clearly indicating that the ceremony was nearing its end.
People below the stage quickly found empty tables to sit down, and Qin Yingxue casually found a corner seat.
Not long after, the dishes began to be served.
The ceremony was over, and Wu Yulan went downstairs to change her clothes, accompanied by her bridesmaids.
The dishes were exquisite, all of which were Qin Yingxue's favorites: crab roe tofu, shredded pork with sweet bean sauce, Peking duck, four-happiness meatballs, braised sea cucumber with scallions, "three-no-stick" (a type of Sichuan hot pot), braised oxtail, casserole pork belly, braised fish maw...
The next step was for the bride and groom to toast each other.
Halfway through the meal, Qin Yingxue was already about 80% full.
When Wu Yulan brought the groom over to toast, Qin Yingxue couldn't refuse the enthusiasm of the people at the next table and drank a small glass of red wine.
"Zhou Qi, this is Sister Qin, whom I often mention to you. Sister Qin, this is my husband, Zhou Qi," Wu Yulan introduced with a smile.
"Hello, Sister Qin." Whether it was because of the wine or because he was in high spirits, Zhou Qi's face was flushed as he raised his glass and clinked it against Qin Yingxue's.
"Wishing you a long and happy marriage, and many children," Qin Yingxue said, clinking glasses with Wu Yulan.
"Thank you, Sister Qin." Wu Yulan smiled shyly and drank the wine with Qin Yingxue.
When Wu Yulan went to the front table to offer a toast, a spirited young man next to her said enthusiastically, "Miss, are you a relative or friend of the bride's side?"
Qin Yingxue glanced at him indifferently.
Isn't this nonsense?
Wu Yulan just made herself so clear; anyone who isn't deaf should understand.
Then, seeing the obsequious smile on the young man's face, Qin Yingxue understood. Just as she was about to speak, she heard a voice say, "She's already married, Wang Xiaoshuai, don't even think about it."
When Wang Xiaoshuai saw the person who came, his face stiffened, and then he slunk away.
Qin Yingxue was dumbfounded, especially when she saw Huo Shaoting sit down next to her, she was even more surprised: "Comrade Huo, are you going to abandon all the beauties at your table?"
"What beauty?" Huo Shaoting stared at Qin Yingxue, his voice tinged with disdain.
Qin Yingxue stopped talking and listlessly played with the tassels on the tablecloth.
Soon, after Wu Yulan finished toasting, she ran over to Qin Yingxue's table and exclaimed "Eh!" when she saw Huo Shaoting.
Huo Shaoting glanced at her indifferently, then got up and left.
Without thinking twice, Wu Yulan grabbed Qin Yingxue's hand and left, saying, "Sister Qin, I have a gift for you."
"You just finished toasting, eat something to fill your stomach first."
Qin Yingxue let her pull her along with a helpless expression, and then spoke up to remind her.
“I ate something while I was changing clothes, and I can’t eat too much while wearing a formal dress.” Wu Yulan shrugged and quickly led Qin Yingxue to the presidential suite on the top floor.
The luxury of this presidential suite is incomparable to anything I've ever experienced before.
But Qin Yingxue still showed a look of amazement at the right time, which made Wu Yulan giggle: "Sister Qin, I have arranged your room. It is on the next floor. Although it is not the presidential suite, it is still the best."
"No need to go to such lengths, I'll be leaving soon," Qin Yingxue quickly refused.
"You've given me such a precious gift, what is this compared to that?" Wu Yulan said, releasing Qin Yingxue's hand, opening a locked suitcase, and picking and choosing from a stack of red booklets for a long time before finally taking out one and handing it to Qin Yingxue.
Qin Yingxue looked at her with a puzzled expression, but after she saw the words "property certificate" on it, she stared at her in astonishment.
