However.

I just took a glance at my phone.

The phone vibrated.

The number was Qin Xiaoshuang’s.

Only one sentence was sent: "Brother-in-law, my sister and Lan Yingjun are at the hotel, you should come quickly."

Attached was a photo of a hotel room card.

The room number was clearly visible on the card.

The amount of information was simply overwhelming.

Nalan Ye Jue’s expression darkened. Last time, he found out that Lan Yingjun had pursued Qin Xin before. So he deliberately allowed Lan Yingjun, a distant relative, to enter the Nalan family’s birthday banquet just to give him a head-on blow, to warn this overconfident guy about how vast the gap with Qin Xin was, so that he would consciously keep his distance in the future.

Could it be that this dog Lan Yingjun can’t sense the danger?

How dare he actively provoke his woman?

Although jealousy and anger surged in his heart, Nalan Ye Jue’s eyes still lingered on that message for a few more seconds. When he glanced over Xiao Shuang’s name, his gaze deepened a bit.

His little brother-in-law has always been clever, but why does he sound not so smart in his tone?

He moved his wheelchair and exited the office: "Prepare the car."

Art Building Music Bar.

Mrs. Qin had booked the venue and invited quite a few friends and relatives to attend.

A large advertisement board stood at the entrance, featuring an enlarged sweet photo of Qin Wenrou in a princess dress.

Mrs. Qin, all smiles, took commemorative photos with the arriving friends and relatives.

And graciously accepted everyone’s praise: "Wow, Wen Rou has achieved so much, she’s even hosting her own concert?"

Mrs. Qin humbly replied: "It’s a small event, a very small one. This time is just a trial, for everyone to have a listen. Her teacher said that in some time, they’ll organize a large-scale solo concert for her at the Imperial Music Hall. The tickets are really expensive."

Although Mrs. Qin’s tone was modest, what she said was not modest at all.

Everyone showered her with compliments and support.

Anyway, tonight’s free, and a few nice words wouldn’t hurt.

The Art Building is an art-themed hotel.

The Music Bar is actually the hotel’s executive lounge, and stepping out leads directly to the hotel rooms.

To present her daughter in the most perfect light, Mrs. Qin specially booked a suite for Qin Wenrou to do her makeup and rest.

Qin Xiaoshuang stood by the wall with a guitar, his face dark: "Mom, why didn’t you tell me this is Qin Wenrou’s concert? If I had known it was hers, I definitely wouldn’t have come!"

Mrs. Qin glared at him angrily: "If it wasn’t for your second sister inviting you, pleading on your behalf, do you think I’d let you go on stage? That guitar of yours is nothing, can it even compare to your second sister’s piano? If your second sister didn’t feel sorry for you and wanted to give you a chance to perform, would you have today’s opportunity? You should be grateful to your second sister!"

Qin Xiaoshuang replied with one word: "Bah!"

He really thought he was attending a small guitar group’s performance, which is why he invited Qin Xin over. Now this, this concert turned out to be Qin Wenrou’s. If his sister saw this, what would she think?

He reached into his pocket for his phone, intending to call Qin Xin to tell her not to come.

But he couldn’t find his phone: "Where’s my phone?"

He just remembered that he might have left his phone on the backseat of the car.

Qin Wenrou softly pointed to the table: "Didn’t you just put it there? Oh, it seems like it’s out of battery and turned off. Xiaoshuang, I can lend you my power bank."

"I don’t need it!"

Qin Xiaoshuang said coldly, took his phone, and turned to leave.

He stood alone at the hotel lobby, biting his lip, waiting for Qin Xin at the entrance.

He couldn’t let his sister come.

He couldn’t let her see how proud Qin Wenrou was, how biased their mom was towards Qin Wenrou.
