Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Most of the people present knew that Ning Chen had married a fool. Earlier, when they saw Ning Yu coaxing her, they found it amusing and funny. Now that she said something like that, many of their expressions changed slightly.

Ning Yu denounced Ning Chen?

This kind of internal strife within the family had long been common. If it was kept in the dark, who cared what evil thoughts you had? However, if it was said out loud in public, it would be disgraceful.

For people who had power and wealth, their reputation and image mattered most.

Now that Ning Yu was exposed in public, it was as if a layer of bright and beautiful skin was peeled off, allowing everyone to see that he had secretly slandered and insulted the Ning family’s eldest son, Ning Chen.

The crowd looked at Ning Yu with a slightly different twinkle in their eyes now.

A cold smile flashed across Qin Yu’s lips.

It was fine if she lost face as everyone already knew that she was a fool.

Not for Ning Yu, however, who had much damage control to do.

Moreover, she wasn’t speaking complete nonsense. The Ning family’s second son had been frantically expanding his influence and making friends with the powerful. Everyone knew what he was scheming.

She seemed to be foolishly speaking without fear, but in fact, she was only revealing Ning Yu’s true thoughts.

Tearing apart his pretense of being a polite and noble man, he was just a despicable person with an evil heart!

Qin Yu happily held Ning Chen’s hand again, her tone was soft as she said, “Chen, you said that you would see many beautiful men and ladies today. They look so much better than the ones on TV! You told me to be a polite little girl, did I do a good job?”

Secretly complimenting the people around her, it portrayed Ning Chen’s mannerism to the elders around. He even asked his silly little wife to mind her manners at the banquet.

She unintentionally made Ning Chen looked good.

Everyone present was a little embarrassed for a moment.

As one from the younger generation, Ning Chen behaved so courteously. But they secretly looked down on him purely because of his blindness. How mean of them.

Compared to Ning Yu’s hypocrisy, at least Ning Chen was a good kid who knew the rules and etiquette.

Many people looked at Ning Chen with sincerity and pity. A few old ladies even walked up to hold Ning Chen’s hand and began showing their concerns.

Qin Yu stood like a mascot at the side. As soon as someone walked up, she eagerly welcomed them. “Hello, madam! I’m Xiao Yu. Your hairpin is really nice. It suits your fair complexion even better!”

Although she was still very silly, she was not annoying.

Gradually, Ning Yu, who was originally the focus of everyone’s attention, was ignored.

After dealing with the group of people who came forward to ask about his well-being, Ning Chen held Qin Yu’s small hand somewhat helplessly. “You do know how to please the elderly.”

Qin Yu put her other hand on the back of Ning Chen’s hand and said sweetly, “In any case, one of us is blind and the other is stupid. Everyone else already thinks that you have no power as an heir. It’s better to induce sympathy. It helps that it’s damaging to Ning Yu and his family’s reputation.”

Ning Chen rubbed Qin Yu’s little head and felt a warmth in his heart.

In the past, he had always faced all doubts and contempt from the outside world alone. He had never thought of resisting, nor did he care. He let it go even.

Merely his real goal was to find the truth of his parents’ death. Since people of the second wife wanted to see him crash and burn, he would do as they wish.

He had long been used to treating everything indifferently. Now, he had someone by his side to face it with. She would even fight alongside and defend him.

Although her efforts were insignificant, she still tried to protect his integrity without ruining his plan.

She was always a silly girl in front of him.

It made him feel that she was the one who needed to be protected.

But now, Ning Chen felt that it didn’t seem to be the case.

“You’re finally here!” Guan Yue, who was very busy, saw Ning Chen and Qin Yu and walked up to them excitedly. “My grandfather had been talking you for a long time.”

Ning Chen followed Guan Yue to the old master of the Guan family and greeted, “Master Guan.”

Although the old master of the Guan family was rather elderly, he still appeared to be in good health. His mental state was even better than that of a young man. The moment his eagle-like eyes saw Ning Chen, they softened.

“Come here. I haven’t seen you for a long time. You even had a wife. Guan Yue, look at Ning Chen.” The old master of the Guan family began to berate Guan Yue wildly again.

Guan Yue had already expected that with Ning Chen around, his grandfather would only try harder to urge him to get married. At this moment, he pretended to be defeated. He said robotically, “I too, think they are a good match.”

Old Master Guan was so angry that he stomped his walking stick. “You are just playing dumb!”

Speaking of “dumb”, Old Master Guan seemed to have thought of something. He looked at Qin Yu, who was hiding behind Ning Chen, with some confusion.

“Why did that old man find a silly wife for his precious grandson?”
