Dating My Scumbag Ex’s Uncle

Chapter 788: Party

Translator: Lonelytree 

Due to Jing Tian’s insistence on morality, we followed the rules of etiquette.

The Lin family sent us invitation cards. Even Aunt Lan, who claimed to be ill, was invited.

This time, Qu Hao gave himself a new identity. He was the eldest young master of a mysterious organization and a profligate son.

“Is this identity safe?” I couldn’t help but be curious.

Qu Hao smiled and glanced at Jing Ni.

Jing Ni said lightly, “It’s safe. That real man is now in the state-level secret prison. He caught him with his own hands.”

I unconsciously swallowed. Who asked about that?

Mai Qi smiled. “Nanxing wanted to know if anyone would recognize you. After all, many people have seen you. It’s hard to guarantee that the Lin family doesn’t know you.”

Qu Hao smiled. “There aren’t many people alive who can recognize me.”

I was too lazy to delve into this matter. This pair was ridiculous. Jing Ni was now a human-shaped search engine. As long as she had a name, she could track down their background. Qu Hao needed her, and he once joked that Jing Ni was an army all by herself.

Qu Hao played an important role in Jing Ni’s transformation from a soft-spoken girl to this sharp-tongued, fierce, and cool tracking expert.

The dark experiences of her past had been peeled back layer by layer by Qu Hao’s gentleness. She probably wouldn’t be hurt again in her lifetime.

Since this pair of lovers were so confident, why should I be worried?

Mai Qi clapped her hands. “Alright, we don’t have to worry about them. I’m going to go pick out clothes. Nanxing, you must outshine that Miss Lin Nan!”

After saying that, Mai Qi deliberately cast a glance at Jing Tian.

Jing Ni patted her. “Don’t dress up Nanxing with your expensive gowns. They will make Nanxing look like such a fool.”

Mai Qi said angrily, “Are you questioning my taste?”

I looked at Jing Ni as well. Mai Qi’s taste was impeccable. After all, she was raised rich. She basically knew all the best designers in the world.

Jing Ni said calmly, “Yes. Hear me out.”

When we arrived at the Lin family and saw the Lin family’s women’s clothing, we realized Jing Ni was right.

Mai Qi gently exhaled. “Does their family just tell them to wear mourning clothes constantly?”

The Lin family’s women, regardless of their age, were all dressed in plain Chinese clothing. No matter how they looked, they had to exude purity.

The invitations we received were grand. Which family wouldn’t be dressed up to attend this party? Moreover, this kind of gathering was a place where all the young ladies competed for attention.

The young ladies would attend such parties in the best gowns to attract the attention of the best partners.

I lowered my head to look at the clothes on the three of us. This time, it was Jing Ni who had picked them out. They were simple. They were not gowns. We wore trousers and suits. We were elegant and dignified.

I gently stroked the brooch on my collar and asked Jing Ni softly, “Aren’t we going to be targeted by standing out like this?”

Jing Ni was very calm. “Are you afraid?”

I coughed lightly. “I’m not afraid. I just feel a little… ridiculous.”
