Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Shi family had not expected Ning Chen and Qin Yu to pay them a visit.

Shi Yong had not even been home today. Instead, he had left for work early in the morning.

Qu Li and Shi Xiao had already made plans as well. They had schemed that a week later, they would go over to the Ning family in the name of checking on Qin Yu.

When that happened, and they found her treated coldly and bullied, they would be able to use this as a threat and request for more benefits from the Ning family.

Otherwise, they would expose Qin Yu’s condition to the media, and claim that the Ning family’s eldest young master had no sympathy for even such a helpless girl, not to mention that she was the Shi family’s own young lady.

In short, they were definitely going to snag whatever they could from the Ning family!

As the saying went: the poor, who have nothing to lose, are not afraid of those in power.

The reason why they dared to pull the Ning family into the spotlight was because to an aristocratic family like the Ning family, reputation was more important than money. As long as the Shi family could grasp their weakness, they would definitely be able to achieve their goals.

They had also considered that this would anger the Ning family, but now, Shi Xiao had already made connections with Guan Yue.

The Guan family was of equal standing to the Ning family. They were both the most senior, noble families in the city.

However, the Ning family was purely a merchant family, while the Guan family had always had a close relationship with the government, and that was not something that the Ning family could compare to.

For two days after sending Qin Yu away, they had been waiting expectantly at home, but the Ning family had not made a single move.

Qu Li could not help but feel a little uneasy.

Shi Xiao comforted her mother, saying, “You don’t have to worry. If that blind man isn’t picky about that little fool, then it will be a good opportunity for us to make things more convenient in the future. We have nothing to lose anyway. We will definitely win with this strategy.”

Qu Li responded worriedly, “However, if the Ning family shows their strength now, we won’t have any backing at all. The government won’t speak up for you. We still can’t afford to offend the Ning family just yet.”

Shi Xiao bit her lip.

“If the Ning family wants to punish us, we’ll put up with it first. No matter what, the betrothal gifts won’t be returned anyway.”

At this point, the mother and daughter were on the same wavelength.

“We have to think of a way to get the little vixen’s dowry first. The Ning family is very complicated, we can’t let the cat out of the bag.”

They still hadn’t thought of a solution when suddenly, Ning Chen and Qin Yu had come knocking on their door.

Qu Li and Shi Xiao’s eyes flew open as they watched what was happening before their eyes. Uncle Wen and Sister Yu were going back and forth from the house a dozen times with gifts, placing them on the coffee table in the living room.

Qin Yu carefully supported Ning Chen as they walked in and invited him to sit on the sofa.

Qu Li and Shi Xiao looked at the young master of the Ning family in front of them, and could not help but exclaim inwardly.

If this young man had not been blind, he would really have been a dragon among men.

However, even when he couldn’t see, the dignified and inviolable noble aura he radiated?also caused them to refrain from directly sizing him up.

“Ning... Young Master Ning, hehe, I really hadn’t expected you to bring Qin Yu back.” Qu Li’s mind had been blank for a long time before she finally squeezed out a sentence from her lips.

Ning Chen raised his eyebrows and his empty gaze fell on Qu Li and her daughter, as if he could see them.

The mother and daughter duo could not help but take a step back.

“This is Xiaoyu’s home, and today is the third day of our wedding. Why? Did we get the date wrong?”

Ning Chen’s voice was soft and deep, but there was no warmth in it.

Qin Yu seemed to sense his emotions, and she tugged on his sleeve worriedly.

However, he reached out and held her hand. He pulled her to his side and sat down.

“Xiaoyu, you’ve returned to your own home. Why are you still standing?”

His words reminded Qu Li and Shi Xiao of their discourtesy, and they quickly sat down opposite them.

“Well, Young Master Ning, Qin Yu didn’t give you any trouble, did she?” Qu Li tried hard to plaster a smile on her face. Fortunately, he was blind, so he wouldn’t be able to see the effort she was putting in to look pleased.

Ning Chen opened his arms and wrapped them around Qin Yu. He grinned and noted, “Xiaoyu is obedient and sensible. Everyone in the family likes her. Why would she give us any trouble?”

Qu Li and Shi Xiao looked at each other, unable to utter a single word.

Both of their minds were running at high speed, sifting through for words that could stir up a topic.

Only then did Shi Xiao notice that Qin Yu was wearing a pink knee-length dress. At a glance, she instantly recognized that this was from an international designer brand. She herself did not have any clothes from this brand in her own wardrobe!

This brand was run with a membership system. No matter how rich a customer was, as long as they weren’t a member, they would still not be able to buy their clothes.

If one wanted to obtain membership, they would have to go through layers of recommendation and selection. It isn’t something that could be solved with money.

Qin Yu’s short hair, which had always been messy, had also been carefully trimmed. It now made her look smart and beautiful.

Qin Yu had changed.
