Madame is Pretending to be an Academic Slacker Again!

Chapter 73: Chapter 73: Paying Respects to the Deceased Qin Xin

Lu Bing never thought that Mr. Emperor would personally go to the Qin Family.

In his mind, the Qin Family was just a minor household in Imperial City, and Qin Xin was merely one of countless ordinary college girls.

Of course, Miss Qin’s face was extremely attractive.

However, when has Imperial City’s high society ever considered marriage based solely on looks?

A suitable marriage in the upper social echelons requires the elite family’s status, the talents and intellect of the elite themselves, and the mutual beneficial relationships between families.

Even a man like Young Master, standing at the pinnacle, doesn’t need a woman’s family background to enhance his reputation; it certainly wouldn’t be Miss Qin, nor our young lady who was raised from a young age to be the most obedient and loyal girl waiting there.

Moreover, Young Master’s assessment of Miss Qin’s face wasn’t high, being merely two words: ”passable.”

Alas.

He truly couldn’t understand what Young Master was thinking.

No matter what, Young Master’s order must be followed.

After getting Nalan Ye Jue into the car, he couldn’t help but ask for instruction: ”Young Master, are we going to the Qin Family to cancel the engagement in person?”

High society places importance on protocol; both engagements and cancellations have certain procedures.

Young Master signed the engagement document last time, so now that Qin Xin has died, it needs to be canceled.

Unexpectedly.

Nalan Ye Jue did not mention the cancellation.

He merely said lightly: ”To pay respects to her.”

Lu Bing was shocked again.

Qin Xin, that girl, what virtue or ability does she have for Young Master to pay his respects!

He quickly sought instruction: ”Then I’ll prepare some offerings, like paper and fruit...”

Nalan Ye Jue: ”Hmm.”

Lu Bing: ”Young Master, what specifications should be prepared?”

Nalan Ye Jue pondered slightly: ”Prepare as you did last time for Mr. Qi.”

Lu Bing was shocked speechless: ”...”

Mr. Qi was the father of Qi Bei, the former president of the empire.

To pay respects to Miss Qin with such high-standard treatment?

I don’t know if such abundant offerings can fit in the Qin Family’s small mourning hall...

Little did he know that Lu Bing’s shock was not yet digested.

On the other side, Nalan Ye Jue threw him another heavy blow—

”Wait a minute, take the deep-water dragon stone jade bracelet left by my aunt.” His gaze was somewhat profound. ”After all, I owe her a debt of gratitude.”

Lu Bing took a deep breath: ”...!”

Not to mention how could a minor character like Miss Qin possibly make the honorable Mr. Emperor owe her a favor.

Even if there was a debt, it wouldn’t require such a grand gift or even an engagement in return, right?

The deep-water dragon stone jade bracelet was the precious item of Young Master’s aunt, Miss Nalan Xinxin. Its value couldn’t be measured by money; it could casually be used to buy a listed company without a problem.

Young Master actually gave it to a deceased!

Lu Bing was truly dumbfounded.

Serving Young Master for so many years, he had never known when Young Master owed Miss Qin a favor.

Lan Family.

Lan Yingjun’s company, due to its pharmaceutical business, rented a warehouse from the Lan Family.

Ao Xinghao drove with Qin Xin and stopped near the warehouse, looking at the big ”Lan” character above, he exclaimed: ”Lan Yingjun’s family? Little Qingxin, are you stealing from their family?”

Qin Xin narrowed her eyes: ”Yeah. Are you scared?”

Ao Xinghao bit the straw he often had in his mouth: ”Bah, Lan Yingjun, that blind dog, what is there to be afraid of? But behind the Lan Family stands the Nalan Family, I am worried he will use his backing to trouble you...”
