Upon hearing mention of the Nan Family, a change swept over the expression of President Li, his face marked by pity and regret.
This girl was exceptionally beautiful. Despite being a man of many conquests, he had still been taken aback by her beauty. However, she belonged to the crown prince of the Nan Family, Nan Sichen. Even with ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare touch a woman of Nan Sichen's.
"Oh, so you are the future Mrs. Nan. My apologies for my earlier behavior. Allow me to toast to you," President Li suddenly softened, raising his own glass with a smile.
Li Yueyi quickly retrieved a glass of wine and handed it to Qin Han, giving her a meaningful look, "Hanhan, drink this with President Li."
Regardless of her unwillingness, Qin Han had to drink. She couldn't afford to ruin her father's big order, she didn't want him to have any complaints about her. Only then would she be able to replace Qin Yin.
Holding up her wine glass, she let out a small giggle and downed its content in one gulp. President Li roared with laughter, "Miss Qin, you certainly can hold your drink!"
"President Li, I apologize, but I have some matters to attend to. I'm afraid I must excuse myself." Qin Han said as she got up to leave, giving Li Yueyi a meaningful glance before departing.
Li Yueyi continued to accompany President Li for a few more rounds of drinks before excusing herself to the restroom.
Seizing this opportunity, she sought out Qin Han, asking, "What happened? You seemed so anxious earlier."
With a miserable look on her face, Qin Han said, "Mom, there's been a problem. I can't find the two bottles of wine."
Li Yueyi stared at her in disbelief, "What do you mean they're missing?"
"I don't know. I only went to the bathroom and when I returned, the wine was gone."
"Then go and get another two bottles. What's the fuss?"
"The key is when I went to the restroom, Qin Yin and Brother Sichen were there. I suspect they drunk the wine. Now, I have no idea where they are."
"What?" Li Yueyi also started to panic. She jabbed Qin Han's forehead with her pointed nail, berating, "You are so stupid! Why did you go to the restroom? You just made it easy for that shameless girl, Qin Yin."
"Mom~" Qin Han started to cry, "You need to think of a solution now, blaming me is of no use. I don't want Qin Yin to marry into the Nan Family. If that happens, we won't have any opportunity to turn things around. If she marries into the Nan Family, won't dad have to comply with her in everything?"
Li Yueyi gritted her teeth in anger. It was all because of that wench Zhao Xingyuan that she spent so many years as Qin Muliang's mistress. She didn't marry into the Qin Family until her 40s. She didn't want her daughter to be oppressed by Zhao Xingyuan's daughter. She had to prevent all this from happening.
"Don't panic just yet, we should find them first," Li Yueyi said, furrowing her brows.
"But what if... what if they've already done it?" Qin Han's voice trembled with fear. She didn't want to keep flattering that despicable Qin Yin just to comfortably live in the Qin Family. She didn't want to.
Li Yueyi's eyes gleamed coldly. Her sharp nails almost digging into her palm. Clenching her teeth, she said, "Don't worry. Even if they did it, Nan Sichen won't marry her. At the end she will be left ruined and disgraced."
She had already figured out the countermeasures. Speaking in a deep voice to Qin Han, "Go find someone to help look for them! I am going to find Mrs. Nan."
"Okay." Qin Han blindly obeyed and worshipped her mother. Since childhood, her mother taught her how to be the lady of the Qin Family and how to handle things tactfully. She had learned all of Li Yueyi's coping strategies, even surpassing her in certain aspects.
