Lord, give up! Madam has too many vests

Chapter 273

The lights shone through the tall sycamore trees onto the entrance of the First Official's residence, creating a solemn and dignified atmosphere.

The crowds attending the ceremony were bustling, with guests dressed in formal attire entering the mansion to participate in this highly anticipated inauguration ceremony.

However, amidst this lively atmosphere, a discordant storm quietly brewed.

Young Master Chu led several young men from the city out of the crowd.

He stared at the bruises on his face, marks left by Qin Shi at the bar last time.

Tonight he was dressed in a sharp black suit, his tie perfectly tied, but his gloomy expression was particularly jarring.

"Qin Shi, you actually brought your wife, who's not presentable enough, to such an important occasion. Aren't you afraid she'll embarrass you?"

Chu Shao stopped and looked at Qin Shi provocatively, his voice filled with sarcasm.

He recalled how Qin Shi had tricked him at the police station last time, almost landing him in jail.

If it weren't for the fact that he had someone protecting him and that his cousin, Dr. Chu, was pushed forward to take the blame, he would have been ruined long ago.

That lesson made him lose face in the family and had all his allowance taken away, forcing him to return to work in the family business. He was determined to get revenge no matter what.

The young men around him also looked resentful. They were dressed in gorgeous clothes, but they could not hide the jealousy and anger in their eyes.

The Qin dynasty cut off one of their sources of income, which was more hateful to them than killing their parents.

At this moment, when they saw Qin Shi, their eyes were filled with murderous intent, and they wished they could tear him to pieces.

Qin Shi stood in front of Yan Lan, his posture upright, the night making him look exceptionally handsome. He loosened his tie, and when he heard Chu Shao mocking Yan Lan, his eyes instantly turned cold.

A slight, cold smile appeared on his lips.

"What, are you planning to make a move in front of the First Commander's residence?"

Qin Shi's words were like a cold wind, instantly weakening the momentum of the young masters.

They still remembered the ferocity Qin Shi displayed during their last fight; his fists seemed to carry immense power, leaving them with lingering fear to this day.

Their scalps tingled, and they involuntarily took a half step back.

"What are you afraid of? Does he really dare to make a move here?"

Chu Shao sneered.

Just then, a soft hand suddenly touched Qin Shi's back. Yan Lan gently stroked his back and whispered,

"They're just a bunch of mad dogs. Ignore them. We're here to participate in the ceremony, not to argue with beasts."

"Who are you calling an animal...?"

Before Chu Shao could finish speaking, his words came to an abrupt halt.

Just as he was about to lose his temper, his gaze was drawn to a woman behind Qin Shi.

She was like a fairy who had stepped out of a painting. Her features were exquisite and flawless, and her eyes and brows carried a cool and aloof air that made people's hearts race and even skip a beat.

Chu Shao stood frozen in place, staring intently at Yan Lan.

He had only recently heard that Qin Shi had gotten married.

At the police station, he didn't notice Yan Lan. He only remembered that she was a plainly dressed woman, and he secretly thought she was "not presentable," which is why he made sarcastic remarks just now.

The woman before him possessed a noble and composed demeanor, exuding an irresistible charm in every gesture.

Chu Shao's mind went blank. He stood there, completely forgetting that he had just been about to get angry.

It wasn't until Qin Shi and Yan Lan's figures gradually disappeared into the distance that he came back to his senses, and the expression on his face became very complicated.

The young men behind him were also dumbfounded, their eyes wide open, as if they had seen something unbelievable.

"Brother Chu, was that Qin Shi's wife just now?"

Didn't you say she was not presentable?

She's so beautiful!

One of the young men finally came to his senses, his tone tinged with envy.

Chu Shao's face instantly turned ashen. He glared fiercely at the young master, but didn't know how to retort.

He subconsciously touched the bruise on his face, and the resentment in his heart rekindled.

"Qin Shi caused us such heavy losses last time, we must get our revenge. Tonight is the perfect opportunity. I heard that the First Commander has an only daughter, later..."

Chu Shao's voice was very low, and a sinister glint flashed in his eyes.

Upon hearing this, the young men nodded in agreement, their faces revealing sinister smiles.

Qin Shi's anger was gradually suppressed by Yan Lan's words and actions, and his originally tense shoulders relaxed slightly.

After completing the pre-entry checks, the two walked hand in hand through the gates of the mansion.

The interior of the mansion was decorated in a magnificent style, with crystal chandeliers emitting a soft light that illuminated the entire hall as if it were daytime.

The guests chatted in twos and threes, creating a lively yet solemn atmosphere.

However, not long after entering the room, Yan Lan's eyes met two familiar figures.

Her heart sank slightly, and her steps slowed.

One of them was Madam Yan. She was dressed extravagantly tonight, her plump figure clad in an expensive cheongsam embroidered with intricate patterns that was particularly eye-catching.

Her hair was styled in a high bun, adorned with a sparkling amethyst hairpin. Her face was heavily made up, attempting to conceal the signs of aging, but instead, she appeared even more vulgar.

At this moment, Madam Yan was standing next to her father, surrounded by many officials and their families, who were all flattering her father. Madam Yan, on the other hand, was enjoying the praise from others with a smug look on her face.

Yan's father has recently gained the favor of the top official and is enjoying a smooth career, so many people are trying to curry favor with him.

He had a smile on his face and stood out in the crowd.

Madam Yan was basking in the pleasure of being the center of attention when she caught a glimpse of Yan Lan out of the corner of her eye.

Her eyes widened instantly, as if she couldn't believe her eyes.

Immediately afterwards, her face turned extremely pale, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, as if she was trying hard to control her emotions.

However, when she saw Qin Shi next to Yan Lan, something occurred to her, and a mocking smile finally appeared on her lips.

"Who do we have here? It's just a sparrow that flew up to the branch."

Madam Yan's voice was sharp and grating, filled with sarcasm and disdain.

She deliberately raised her voice so that everyone around her could hear her.

Her gaze swept over Yan Lan as if examining an insignificant object, her eyes filled with contempt.

Yan Lan frowned slightly, but did not speak.

She knew Madam Yan's personality; in this situation, arguing would only make things more awkward.

Qin Shi turned his head slightly, his eyes filled with a hint of coldness, staring intently at Madam Yan, as if warning her not to push her luck.

Hearing Madam Yan's mockery, the surrounding guests cast curious glances, and the atmosphere instantly became somewhat awkward.
