Chapter 74: Chapter 74 This Kind of Man, Basically Equals a Pit of Fire

"I’m sorry to say," she said with an apologetic tone, but the next words came out in a rush, "My sister was raised by commoners since she was little, and she got pregnant before marriage during her college years, gave birth to a daughter who’s already four years old... This is a family scandal that I shouldn’t speak of, but I can’t bear to see Young Master Yu being deceived and I hope Young Master Yu can keep this a secret."

Chen Xu, who had been following closely by their side, now stepped forward without ceremony, eager to ingratiate himself with Qin Nanyu.

"Young Master Yu, I have long admired your great reputation but never had the chance to meet you. My name is Chen Xu, the young master of the Chen Family. It’s fine if you don’t recognize someone insignificant like me, but I just want to tell you that what Ji Kaisui said is all true. This woman beside you even once considered marrying me, asking for my help in raising her child. Isn’t that ridiculous?"

"Are you done?" Qin Nanyu’s expression was cold as he glanced over the few who were eager to complain to him, his lips barely parting.

Hearing Chen Xu mention the "blind date," a few images flashed through his mind, and thanks to his exceptional memory, he could just about remember this man, who seemed to be the one who had that blind date with Ji Weitian at the restaurant.

His dark eyes flickered, giving Chen Xu a few more glances.

He took in the sleaziness on the other’s face, as well as his gross demeanor, and suddenly he felt some approval for Ji Weitian’s decision to ruin the blind date.

Such a man was basically a pit of fire.

Qin Nanyu maintained his hold on Ji Weitian’s hand, showing no intention of letting go.

He merely glanced sideways, looking at the person beside him.

Originally, he had assumed that she would explain for herself, or become furiously embarrassed. If not that, she would have likely resorted to her usual act, putting on a pitiable face and saying that she had been young and naïve when she was deceived by a scoundrel.

Instead, what he saw was Ji Weitian’s face, even colder than his own.

It was as if all these things being said about her, all the slander, had nothing to do with her.

Or perhaps she simply didn’t care.

Her cool demeanor was like a lotus flower blooming in the mud, serenely detached from the world.

Qin Nanyu’s gaze deepened as he took her in properly for the first time that evening.

The pink and white gown suited her well, its simplicity enhancing her natural beauty and complexion.

The delicate makeup was stunning.

This was also why Qin Nanyu had recognized her instantly in the crowd, but now what truly captivated him was the proud look in her eyes.

She didn’t argue, didn’t fuss, didn’t admit defeat, as if she didn’t even consider her opponents worth regarding, too disdainful to respond.

Such confidence, Qin Nanyu had only seen in one other person... himself.

"Young Master Yu, I know it may be hard for you to believe us all at once, but we are telling you the truth. If you keep holding her hand and walk out of the banquet hall with her, you will definitely be misunderstood, and it could damage your reputation!"

Ji Kaisui saw Qin Nanyu staring at Ji Weitian and thought he would finally see her for who she really was and dump her.

Pleased, she stood by, fanning the flames.

After waiting a while with no reaction from Qin Nanyu, Ji Kaisui, losing patience, was about to say something more when she saw Qin Nanyu suddenly let go of Ji Weitian.

Ji Kaisui was so happy she almost jumped for joy.

But the next second, she watched as Qin Nanyu reached over and took Ji Weitian by the shoulder, embracing her protectively and walking her away!

The crowd in the banquet hall took a sharp, stifled breath.

Ji Kaisui watched this scene in disbelief, her eyes nearly popping out, as if the sound of faces being slapped echoed in the air!
