Chapter 24 The Clash at the Banquet, The Mysterious Cinderella

Jiu Ming Yi Ye's new work is here, updated first across the entire network!

The moment Qin Hao guessed this astonishing possibility in his mind, his hand holding the wine glass paused in mid-air for a moment.

A strong sense of interest flashed in his deep eyes, and then without the slightest hesitation, he put down his wine glass and walked towards the door.

Just then, the mother and her two daughters, dressed in their finest attire, had just locked Cinderella out of the door and were strutting in with their skirts up when they bumped into the imposing Qin Hao.

Qin Hao stopped and stood in front of them, his gaze sweeping past them to the trembling, thin figure outside the door. He asked calmly:

"Madams, it's windy outside. Since she's family traveling together, why not let that girl come in with you?"

The mother and her two daughters were taken aback by this sudden question.

The younger stepsister, who was wearing a pink tutu, glanced at Qin Hao.

Seeing that although he was handsome, he was a complete stranger, so she immediately raised her chin with arrogance and retorted without any politeness:

"Sir, this is a family matter. We want her to be out in the cold wind, so we can do it. Are you trying to interfere in our family affairs?"

"Indeed, your family matters are none of my business."

Qin Hao not only didn't get angry, but instead a calm smile appeared on his lips.

He looked at the little girl, his voice not loud, but it reached the ears of the surrounding nobles with remarkable clarity:

"But the two ladies seem to have forgotten that this is a banquet carefully prepared by the Earl."

You were making a huge scene at the door, even shutting your own family out like dogs...

Do you think you were just showing off in front of the Earl, or were you slapping him in the face and making him a laughingstock in front of all the nobles?

This accusation of "disgracing the Earl" is far too heavy a burden to bear!

Upon hearing Qin Hao's words, the youngest daughter turned pale and immediately became anxious, about to open her mouth to argue back.

"shut up!"

The eldest of the three, Shang Zi, who was more experienced in society, had already noticed the strange looks being cast at him by the surrounding nobles.

She recognized Qin Hao at a glance as the wealthy Eastern merchant who had been chatting and laughing with the count earlier, and her heart skipped a beat.

She grabbed her younger daughter, who was still trying to talk back, and forced a smile, bowing her head repeatedly to Qin Hao.

"Oh dear, sir, the little girl is being silly and bumped into you. I'm so sorry!"

"The commotion at the entrance just now was so loud, it disturbed the enjoyment of all the guests."

"Madam, you've made a mistake."

Qin Hao looked at his opportunistic stepmother, his tone remaining indifferent.

"Even if it's an apology, it shouldn't be an apology to me."

They should apologize to the Earl, whom you disturbed, and to the girl outside who has been stripped of her dignity, not to me.

As he spoke, Qin Hao completely ignored the stiff expressions on the faces of the mother and her two daughters.

He walked straight past them, strode to the door, reached out and grabbed the wrist of the girl covered in dust, forcefully leading her into the warm and bright banquet hall.

Under the dazzling crystal chandelier, Cinderella's tattered dress and soot-covered face seemed out of place, but her frightened, doe-like eyes were surprisingly clear.

Then, Qin Hao turned around and shielded Cinderella to his side.

He glanced at the two stepsisters who were staring at Cinderella with malicious eyes, and said with a half-smile:

"Ladies, no matter what, everyone comes to the Earl's banquet to have fun."

"We can't let a small family conflict escalate into something so unpleasant, can we? Why not just apologize and let's call it a day?"

Hearing that Qin Hao actually made them apologize to this "lowly girl" who usually only washes pots and sweeps stove ash at home!

The two stepsisters were so angry that they trembled all over, their faces turning red and white in turns, and their chests heaving violently.

How can they be made to bow down to Cinderella, whom they have been bullying all along?

This is worse than killing them! How is this possible?!

Just as they were about to lash out.

"cough!"

Shang Zi coughed heavily, turned his head, and glared at his two biological daughters with an extremely stern and warning look.

As a businesswoman who has navigated the treacherous waters of the business world and aristocratic circles, she is naturally an extremely astute and shrewd person who knows how to assess situations.

This Eastern merchant before them was someone even a count would treat as an honored guest; he was definitely not someone a widow and her child could afford to offend.

In situations like these, circumstances dictate that you must put aside your pride!

Under their mother's intensely intimidating gaze, the two proud stepsisters bit their lower lips so hard that their nails almost dug into their flesh.

In the end, they could only lower their heads in humiliation and, with extreme reluctance, manage to squeeze out a dry, curt sentence to Cinderella, who was covered in soot:
