If you're not going to marry me, why are you flirting? If you dare run away, I'll sever yo

The next day.

Qi Nan was grabbed by Jiang Qin.

"Are you really planning to wear your Minion pajamas?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"This is way too informal!"

Qi Nan blinked. "Then I'll wear another tie."

Jiang Qin grabbed Qi Nan's earlobe.

"You've already put on a tie, couldn't you at least wear a suit?"

"Ouch, ouch, ouch~~"

Qi Nan yelled a few times, "Okay, okay, I understand. I'll go back and change right away. Mother, please let go."

After Jiang Qin let go, she casually patted the ground twice.

"Hurry up, I need to check it after you've changed."

"oh..."

Qi Nan never expected that even though he was just there to freeload, his outfit would have to be so particular.

I returned to my room.

Qi Nan opened the wardrobe and took out a suit that had been gathering dust for a long time. He remembered that it seemed to have been worn a long time ago at his coming-of-age ceremony, and two whole years had passed since then.

Without thinking too much, Qi Nan put it on.

I looked in the mirror and found that I still looked quite presentable. Even though I hadn't worn it for so long, it still fit me perfectly, at least it didn't constrict my butt.

Go downstairs again.

Jiang Qin was dressed very elegantly. After seeing Qi Nan in a suit, she nodded in satisfaction, "That's more like it."

No wonder it's her genes; she looks great when she dresses up.

"Let's go, I'll drive."

Because Qi Yunrui didn't have time, Jiang Qin had to accompany Qi Nan in his place.

"OK."

Just then, she suddenly asked, "By the way, where's your Porsche? I haven't seen you drive it back."

"Um...it's being serviced at the dealership..."

"Really? It's almost Chinese New Year, you're getting it serviced now?"

"Just like when we say goodbye to the old year and welcome the new, cars also need a new look."

"Oh, I see... Son, when did you become so particular about rituals?"

People all grow and mature.

Jiang Qin:...

-

night.

Inside the Xia family's villa.

Ye Anran arrived early and met Xia Ningqi, who was dressed in a gorgeous outfit.

"Wow~ Baby, you look so beautiful today, let me give you a hug."

"An Ran, why are you here so early?"

Xia Ningqi was caught off guard by the hug.

"Because I want to see you soon."

The Ye family is a prominent family in the capital, so Ye Anran naturally received an invitation. Because of her relationship with Xia Ningqi, she was also allowed to enter the Xia family's inner room.

"Okay, but I haven't finished my makeup yet, so I probably can't stay with you for a while."

"It's okay, I'll just stay here and chat with you. It's too tiring to chat with all those elites outside. I don't need to pretend when I'm with you."

While this is the truth, it's perhaps a bit too blunt.

Xia Ningqi hadn't gone to the lobby yet, so she didn't know how many guests had arrived and could only listen to Ye Anran's introduction.

"There are quite a few second-generation rich kids at today's banquet. For example, there's that tomboy from the Qin family, with short hair, and he talks like a boy. And there's the second sister-in-law from the Wu family, who speaks in a high-pitched voice and keeps making effeminate gestures with her fingers. She's so effeminate..."

Ye Anran complained about all the second-generation rich kids she knew, and finally focused her criticism on Li Zhaonian, the eldest son of the Li family.

"Especially Li Zhaonian from the Li family. His family has only recently benefited from the good times. I don't know what he has to pretend to be. He acts superior to everyone his age. I feel like I want to vomit just looking at his pig face."

"Is he not good-looking?"

"It's not that I can't do it, it's just that he's too arrogant. Anyway, I don't like to associate with him. But I guess it's because his family is powerful, so there are still quite a few people who like to try to get close to him."

"I see..."

Of all the people Xia Ningqi introduced to her, she didn't know any of them, since she had never been involved in this kind of high society socializing before.

While they chatted, a professional makeup artist did Xia Ningqi's makeup.

Ye Anran shifted the topic to Qi Nan, "By the way, Ning Qi, are there any requirements for the Qi family at today's banquet?"

"have..."

"I didn't lie to her," Xia Ningqi replied truthfully.

Ye Anran wasn't surprised. "That's interesting. At least playing with the two of you won't be too boring."

.....

Finished the makeup.

Xia Ningqi stood up and asked Ye Anran, "Anran, do you think this outfit suits me today?"

"It suits you perfectly. Your figure is so well-proportioned, you're practically a natural-born goddess for formal wear."

"But this is the first time I've ever worn a formal dress."

As for her outfit at the school party, Xia Ningqi wasn't sure if it counted as a formal dress, but the white dress was still lying quietly in her closet, hoping she would have the chance to wear it again in the future.

Just then.

The door was pushed open, and Shen Wanping entered.

"Let's go, Ningqi, it's about time to start. I'll take you out with me."

"Okay, Mom."

-

Qi Nan and Jiang Qin arrived at the entrance of the Ye family villa. After handing the invitation to the butler, they entered the hall without any problems.

The Xia family's mansion is huge, completely on a different level than the Qi family's.

Qi Nan originally thought his house was already incredibly extravagant, but after seeing it today, he realized he had been short-sighted. This wasn't a mansion at all; it was clearly Aisha's castle.

As soon as I stepped into the hall.

The air was thick with the smell of money and the laughter of various business tycoons.

Qi Nan's entry attracted the attention of a few people.

They were strangers, so they began to whisper among themselves.

"Whose child is this? I've never seen him before?"

"I don't know, but he must be someone of status, otherwise the Xia family wouldn't have sent him an invitation."

"I think he's from the Qi family. I vaguely recognize the woman next to him."

Upon hearing that it was the Qi family, everyone scoffed.

Although they are all from the upper class, there is still a hierarchy of contempt among the upper class, and the reference for this hierarchy is the power and assets of the family. Although the Qi family is very rich in ordinary families, they are clearly not qualified here.

The Qi family may be doing alright in terms of assets, but they are far behind in terms of power and connections.

"I didn't expect the Xia family to invite them."

"I don't know, maybe it was through connections."

...

Qi Nan didn't care about the comments. Let them talk, it doesn't matter to him.

"You brat, you'd better be more polite to everyone when you speak later, or you'll embarrass the Qi family."

"Mom, can't you see that we already have no face to lose?"
