39 -30 Qin Family Is Not Short of Money_3
“Ah Yan, two years have passed and you’ve become so devastatingly beautiful,” Yin Miaomiao hurriedly approached, taking her hand and exclaimed with admiration.
Up close, Ran Yan examined Yin Miaomiao carefully, noticing her moon-white gauze dress, petite figure, and rather pretty features.
On her face was a gentle, soft smile, barely concealing a trace of excitement.
“Don’t tease me,” Ran Yan naturally responded with a faint smile.
At this point, the others also reacted, getting up one after another to exchange pleasantries and offering their welcome.
However, in truth, they were far from pleased by Ran Yan’s appearance.
All women love beauty, especially beautiful ones, who can hardly bear to see others more attractive than themselves.
Yin Miaomiao appeared genuinely delighted, pulling Ran Yan to sit beside her.
“Seventeen-year-old lady has just recovered from a serious illness and is now engaged to Qin Silang, truly a cause for celebration,” a voice clear as a spring spoke, neither hurried nor slow, and very pleasant to hear.
Ran Yan followed the voice and saw a lady in white, smiling at her.
The white lunar gauze was like the holy light of the moon, casting her beautiful face in a slightly cool light.
Her hair was done up in an ethereal cloud bun, adorned with just a few large, rounded pearls, a refreshingly simple adornment, unlike the splendid extravagance of the other ladies.
“Thank you, Lady Six,” Ran Yan recognized her as Suzhou’s number one beauty, Qi Six.
Yin Miaomiao glanced back and forth between Qi Six and Ran Yan.
Both were cold beauties, but it seemed Ran Yan’s coldness was not like that of the moon’s aloofness, but more like the chilling depths of darkness.
“Qin Silang was originally quite infatuated with Lady Six!
Seventeen-year-old lady must take good care to watch over him,” a round-faced young girl in a yellow jacket giggled beside Qi Six.
Ran Yan merely glanced at her indifferently, realizing she did not remember this person from her memory and finding her deliberate provocation disagreeable, thus responding only with a nonchalant “Oh.”
The young girl seemed to feel slighted, her expression turning sour as she humphed, “Qin Silang is quite a catch.
Whatever us sisters ask of him, he obliges without a trace of annoyance.
You won’t be wronged marrying him, but he is known for his flirting.
You must keep a close watch, or don’t let him go offering his attentions to another’s home.
Otherwise, it won’t reflect well on you, Seventeen-year-old lady.”
“May I know how to address this lady?” Ran Yan turned to Yin Miaomiao.
Seeing that Ran Yan seemed somewhat annoyed, Yin Miaomiao quickly smoothed things over, “Look at me, so happy to see you I forgot everything else.
This is Qi Ten, her given name is Yuxiu.”
Then she gestured to a girl in a cherry-red jacket, “This is the eldest daughter of the Yan Family, her given name is Fangfei.”
Yan Fangfei nodded gently to Ran Yan with a light smile, then introduced the other Noble Ladies in the pavilion one by one.
In the meantime, a maid served Ran Yan tea and pastries.
Ran Yan casually picked up the cup and took a sip.
Qi Yuxiu was extremely annoyed by Ran Yan’s blatant disregard and kept bringing the conversation back to Qin Silang, with insinuations about him being under Qi Six’s skirt, and Qi Six made no attempt to stop her.
“Last month, Qin Silang heard Sister Six liked begonias and specifically had a cart sent from Yangzhou.
He really went to great lengths.
It’s just that now he is engaged to Seventeen-year-old lady; let’s hope he won’t do such foolish things for Sister Six in the future,” Qi Yuxiu remarked with a click of her tongue.
As soon as she spoke, expressions varied across the room, and all eyes turned to Ran Yan.
This time, ignoring the comments was not an option.
Ran Yan looked at Qi Yuxiu and said lightly, “What man doesn’t like beautiful women?
Whether he frequents brothels or flatters beauties, it’s all the same.
He plays with other families’ daughters, taking advantage and never losing out.
Let him do as he pleases.
If he wants to play, as long as he doesn’t force himself on the common people’s daughters, I support it.
The Qin Family surely isn’t short of a few coins.”
Qi Six’s originally proud demeanor slightly darkened.
Qi Yuxiu raised her voice, “What do you mean by ‘playing with’?
Are you saying he is ‘playing with’ my Sister Six?”
“As long as women maintain their self-respect, there would be no talk of being ‘played with.’ Sister Six is likened to the moon, a noble and virtuous lady.
I have not mentioned any names; how could Sister Ten assume it’s about her and tarnish her own sister?” Ran Yan was truly annoyed by Qi Yuxiu’s incessant quibbling.
She was not someone to suffer in silence.
Besides, being equals in nobility, why should she bow and scrape, degrading herself!
