Li Yueyi also began to speak, putting on a saddened expression, "Yinyin, your aunt has always loved you, and you've always been such an obedient child. How did you wind up so confused this time? Your aunt is heartbroken. Love is about mutual affection. The methods involving drugging won't work. Even if you did drug Nan..."
"Shut up."
Li Yueyi hadn't even finished speaking before Qin Yin was staring at her intensely and, through gritted teeth, sternly telling her to shut up.
It was actually them, her mother and sister who did it, and now they're blaming her? But she can't say it. If she did, Li Yueyi is the lady of the Qin Family and an elder. If even the elders can do wrong, then the Qin Family is truly finished. So she might as well take all the blame.
At worst, she'll just leave Jiang City.
Qin Yin had made up her mind to speak when Qin Muliang suddenly lunged at her, viciously slapping her. "You unfilial daughter, how could you do such a thing? You've become more capable, daring to shout at your aunt. You know very well how kindly she has always treated you. What kind of sin have I committed to have such a daughter?"
The slap from Qin Muliang made Qin Yin's ears ring, and blood seeped from the corner of her mouth. She looked at all the men and women before her. Everyone's face was full of ridicule, mockery and contempt.
"It... It was me..." Just as Qin Yin was about to admit that she was the one who had drugged him, she was suddenly interrupted by a cold voice.
It was Nan Sichen who said, "No."
Nobody understood the meaning of his 'No', only Mrs. Nan asked him, "Really? Then you?"
"No, no one has ever drugged me. I just couldn't help myself with her," Nan Sichen spoke and turned to look at Qin Yin, a look that left her puzzled.
She saw many emotions in his eyes, complex enough to drown her, yet among those complicated emotions, she seemed to see something gentle and affectionate.
Qin Yin looked at him in shock, her swollen face slightly painful, but she had no mind to worry about that. He had been furious with her just moments ago in the car, so why was he defending her now?
"So, what do you plan to do?" Mrs. Nan asked coldly.
"I'll marry her."
This statement from Nan Sichen was like a thunderclap out of the blue. He was not known for having much interest in women, and all the celebrities of Jiang City felt that no woman could win his heart. So all the young girls strived hard to win his favor, feeling that they still had a chance. But at this moment, he casually expressed his intention to marry a woman.
Those who had just been deriding Qin Yin were now displayed faces imbued with furious jealousy.
Upon hearing Nan Sichen's words, Mrs. Nan suddenly burst into laughter. Initially, she had worried that her son had some unsavory preferences or didn't like women. But this uproar has put her at ease.
Then, she cheerfully asked, "When do you plan to get married?"
"Let's get engaged first," Nan Sichen replied.
"Good, good, good. I'll arrange a date with the Qin Family when I have time," Mrs. Nan joyfully concluded before turning to the crowd with a smile. "Well, my son and future daughter-in-law are a bit passionate. They just couldn't help themselves out on the big road. I hope you all won't mind. Today is a happy day, the wedding day of my son and daughter-in-law. We should focus on what's important and continue to enjoy the Wedding Wine."
