Chapter 473: Chapter 473: Qin Keqin Mocks on the Banquet (Third update)

Yin Qin remained silent as he listened to his mother’s words.

Very composed, Qin Keqin added, “Once you’ve set the time and place, let me know. Your father and I will be there on time.”

Having said this, she immediately hung up the phone.

After hanging up, Yin Bin just stared at her.

Qin Keqin was truly calm, with no outbursts or breakdowns.

Yin Bin offered, “Do you want me to call a doctor for you?”

“Why would I need a doctor? Call a makeup artist for me. I want to celebrate. I want to happily kick Yin Qin out of this house and leave him no way back. He’s not suited to be with Xiaolang. No, no, no, he doesn’t even deserve to have feelings for Xiaolang!” After speaking, she even let out a couple of hearty laughs.

“…” This might be considered an example of excessive negativity.

Was this strike so heavy that it has made her mentally unstable?

After hanging up the phone, Yin Qin fell silent for a moment.

Ji Baixin watched him from the side.

As soon as the news came out, Yin Qin rushed back home.

But this action had comforted Ji Baixin a lot. At least, the first person he thought of was her, not Luo Xiaolang.

Though she’s still somewhat emotional, Yin Qin has promised her not to expose their affair anymore and to stop feeling guilty towards Luo Xiaolang. Ji Baixin isn’t unreasonable, so she didn’t continue arguing with Yin Qin. Even though she holds a deeply rooted belief about Luo Xiaolang, she really thinks Luo Xiaolang isn’t simple, capable of deeper thought than most people. How else could Luo Xiaolang always manage to hit her exactly where it hurts the most, leaving her utterly humiliated.

The first time, Luo Xiaolang announced her relationship with Yin Qin to the media, leading to them spiralling into the eye of a public scandal and receiving much condemnation. At that time, everyone thought Luo Xiaolang was frank and straightforward, without any hidden motives.

Then, Luo Xiaolang flatly refused her plea to rescue Yin Qin when he was in trouble, only to clarify everything to the media later on. But now, she became the target of public criticism, labelled as a scheming villain. Suddenly Luo Xiaolang was handling the media to clarify everything…

All the details were executed so flawlessly! She refused to believe it was a coincidence.

Luo Xiaolang was far more cunning and calculating than she had thought. She decided she had been underestimating her!

She vowed to let everyone know that Luo Xiaolang was far from the simple person they perceived her to be. She was not!

When she calmed down, Ji Baixin realized that if she continued to throw tantrums, everyone would only believe that she was the one making unfounded accusations against Luo Xiaolang. She was confident that one day, she would indeed unmask Luo Xiaolang’s true face!

With these thoughts, she managed to suppress her emotions.

She looked at Yin Qin and saw that he too had fallen into silence.

She asked, “What did your mother tell you?”

What did she say that affected his mood so much?

Did she try to stop their marriage?

Why else would he look so troubled?

“Yin Qin,” Ji Baixin called his name once more as he didn’t respond.

Yin Qin pressed his lips together, paused for a while, and then smiled, “My mother agreed to have dinner with your parents to discuss our wedding ceremony.”

Ji Baixin furrowed her eyebrows.

Did he agree? Why the strange expression on Yin Qin’s face?

It seemed Yin Qin noticed Ji Baixin’s thoughts and provided an explanation, “It just feels a bit strange. I’m worried that my mother might change her mind on a whim.”

Ji Baixin thought for a second and nodded; that was indeed plausible.

After her consistent refusal, she suddenly agreed, especially after Luo Xiaolang did what she did. It did indeed seem a bit strange.

“Never mind, as long as my mother agrees, that’s all I care about. Call your parents tonight, and let’s set the date. We’ve only got five days left and haven’t prepared anything yet; we have to hurry.” Yin Qin started plotting the course of action.

Ji Baixin hesitated a bit, but she nodded in approval.

Evening.

The two major families, the Ji family and the Yin family, gathered around a grand and luxurious dining table.

Everyone in the Ji family was present, including Ji Baijian and Song Zhizhi.

The parents were seated in the middle, others on either side, encircling the dining table.

Ji Yunlei started the conversation in an attempt to lighten the mood, “Who would have thought these two would end up together. They’ve been round and round, but it’s really all about fate, isn’t it?”

“Exactly.” Qin Keqin laugh, sounding very composed, “It’s like how sewage always ends up flowing towards the same cesspit.”

“…” Ji Yunlei’s face was covered in embarrassment.

Ji Baixin also felt a bit awkward at this moment.

Yin Qin elbowed his mother.

“Perhaps the language was a bit crude, but the principle is that. Creatures of the same nature flock together. Yin Qin and Baixin are a match made in heaven. I fully believe that they will grow old together.” Qin Keqin said calmly, then laughed again, “I suggest that we toast to mark this occasion, wishing that they must stay together for a lifetime, and absolutely never bring harm to anyone else again!”

“…” It was dead silent.

Everyone knew that Qin Keqin was being sarcastic.

At that moment, Song Zhizhi inexplicably felt a sense of satisfaction.

Why does she like Miss Qin so much?!

She glanced around, deciding to behave herself just before she was about to raise her glass.

As the bride of the Ji Family, it was better for her to act appropriately.

“Old man Yin.” Qin Keqin nudged Yin Bin.

Yin Bin had no choice but to raise his glass reluctantly, trying to ease the tension, “Although Keqin’s blessing was a bit harsh, she genuinely wishes Yin Qin and Baixin to be together, to walk hand in hand until they are old.”

Ji Yunlei still looked rather displeased.

Naturally, Zhang Qingmei dared not say anything seeing him like this.

Ji Baili surprisingly took the initiative to raise his glass, “Auntie is right, my sister and Yin Qin must spend their lifetime together, we all are witnesses here, we have seen how hard it was for you to get to where you are now. Even if you regret it later, you won’t have a choice but to bear with it, there is absolutely no way of divorcing!”

“Baili!” Zhang Qingmei frowned.

Ji Baijian spoke up, “Since we are all here to give blessings, let’s raise our glasses.”

Song Zhizhi eagerly echoed her husband.

Everyone raised their glasses, including Ji Yunlei.

Considering the situation, he could not just walk away. Besides, in his mind, Ji Baixing marrying Yin Qin was a leap upward for her.

Today, with the news out, Yin Qin’s image had begun to improve. He couldn’t mess up the wedding just because he was feeling a bit unhappy.

Everyone was drinking and discussing the wedding.

Apart from a few sarcastic remarks Qin Keqin had made earlier, the happy mood returned, as all enthusiastically talked about the marriage.

Zhang Qingmei couldn’t understand Qin Keqin.

On one hand, she seemed to disapprove of the marriage, but on the other hand, she seemed eager for the couple to get married. It was all very confusing.

The dinner was halfway through.

Ji Baixing excused herself to go to the restroom.

Song Zhizhi hesitated for a moment, then followed.

Ji Baixing returned from the restroom.

Song Zhizhi purposely waited for her at the door.

Ji Baixing was aware of Song Zhizhi’s relationship with Luo Xiaolang, so she prompted, “Speak your mind.”

“No, I just genuinely want to wish you and Yin Qin well.”

Ji Baixing smiled unconvincingly.

“I truly think Yin Qin is not good enough for Luo Xiaolang, so I hope you and Yin Qin hurry up and get married, so that he won’t trouble my Xiaolang.” Song Zhizhi spoke straightforwardly.

Ji Baixing looked a bit displeased.

Song Zhizhi didn’t say anything more.

She had thought of a lot of things to say before, but now she doesn’t want to say them.

She always felt that if Xiaolang didn’t care, it was meaningless for her to dwell on it, even if she genuinely didn’t like Ji Baixing.

Compared to Ji Baili, they were born to the same parents, yet Ji Baixing fell short of Ji Baili by miles.

When Ji Baili and Xin Zaozao’s engagement failed, she felt regret for a long time, but there was nothing she could do since Zaozao didn’t like her.

Song Zhizhi turned to leave.

Just as she was leaving, she said, “I believe your future mother-in-law, that is, Auntie, thinks the same way, which is why she is so eager to settle your wedding with your parents!”

Ji Baixing’s expression changed instantly.

Song Zhizhi didn’t care.

“Sister-in-law.” Ji Baixing called out to her, “You all think that Luo Xiaolang is good and I am bad, right?”

“It’s not what we think, it’s the fact.” Song Zhizhi was sure.

“One day, you all will understand that Luo Xiaolang is not as innocent as he seems.”

Song Zhizhi scoffed, “Don’t assume everyone is like you.”

“No matter what I say now, it would seem like I’m slandering her. Just wait and see.”

“I’m waiting.” Song Zhizhi smiled, saying, “I’m waiting to see whether you and Yin Qin will be happy or not!”

Ji Baixing looked at Song Zhizhi coldly.

“Don’t let others laugh at you.” Song Zhizhi continued, “Cherish Yin Qin.”

True, Yin Qin had done many foolish things.

But this man, undoubtedly, is a good man!

He doesn’t deserve to be ruined by Ji Baixing.
