A Low Rank Female Goes Viral Across the Galaxy-Chapter 160: The Visit

The moment he closed the door, Yun Xie eagerly pulled Jiang Qin into his arms and kissed her.

Before long, the two of them tumbled onto the bed.

Panting, Yun Xie didn’t forget to fish for compliments. "Qinqin, how did I do today?"

"You performed to my complete satisfaction, of course."

"Then I want a reward..."

Jiang Qin had just returned, so she didn’t have to go to work yet. However, the bar had already started operating during her absence.

After all, the other two females were still working there.

Apparently, after causing some trouble once, Mia and the other woman had become much more compliant.

Because if they continued to be perfunctory, You Wei would replace them, and absolutely no one in Central City would dare to hire them again.

Females in the Interstellar era did indeed have a high status.

But the status of a low-level female couldn’t compare to that of a High-level one.

So, when it came to not hiring two B-level female criminals, everyone in Central City would give him that much face.

Only a rival family would take them in just to spite him.

If that happened, it would be even better.

With that threat hanging over them, their work had reportedly been quite diligent lately.

The only problem was the lack of customers.

Knowing Jiang Qin wasn’t working, most of the regulars didn’t show up. Many of them chose to go back to the bars they used to frequent.

Only a very small number of patrons came to Moonlight.

It was said that the looks on Mia and Ping Yiqin’s faces these past two days had been incredibly sour.

They had chosen to come to Moonlight specifically for its popularity. Even though they were serving their sentences, they knew how popular it was.

If it weren’t for the high popularity and revenue, which would help reduce their sentences, they wouldn’t have been willing to come at all.

Unfortunately for them, they had contacted two other bars, and neither needed to hire a soothing master.

Since they couldn’t jump ship, their only option was to work diligently.

After hearing the report, Jiang Qin said, "In that case, I’ll try to get back to work as soon as possible."

"There’s no rush. Get some proper rest. Even though you’re fine, you still went through a scare."

"Don’t be in a hurry to come back. Your Uncle You Wei feels the same way. After all, the Dark Web bounty on you is still active."

"No one can guarantee what kind of people might try to slip in next."

"Besides being careful of violent types, you also need to watch out for those who prefer to use schemes and tricks."

"Okay."

...

Since she didn’t have to start work, Jiang Qin moved up her visit to the Lan Family to tomorrow.

It was her first time meeting the parents, after all, so she wanted to prepare some gifts.

But among all the things in the Interstellar era, there really wasn’t much that was suitable for gift-giving.

She was giving them to elders, after all. Things like the latest Flying Car or a new Light Computer were definitely not appropriate.

The most suitable gifts were things like natural plants or antiques.

In the Interstellar era, such items were hard to come by and exorbitantly priced. You had to wait for auctions, and the ones available in stores were ordinary. The Lan Family would probably look down on such common goods.

So, Jiang Qin decided to design them herself and craft them in the system using reputation value.

For Lan Yuyan’s mother, she prepared a jadeite set that included a pair of jade bangles, a necklace, and a pair of earrings.

For his father, she prepared a red sandalwood beaded bracelet.

As for fruit, she could only buy some from a shopping center.

Although she had wanted to just go back to his home with Lan Yuyan alone, he was currently in his beast form and couldn’t protect her. For safety’s sake, they all decided to go together.

The Lan Family had long since received news of their visit today.

Yan Mingrui had been arranging the banquet since morning.

He was taking it even more seriously than when they had hosted Bai Qingqing.

After all, Bai Qingqing had only been there for a marriage meeting, while Jiang Qin was already their actual daughter-in-law.

Lan Yidan was currently inspecting the preparations.

In the kitchen, the lavishly hired chefs were working with great enthusiasm.

The servants were directing robots to repeatedly clean the manor inside and out.

On the living room table were fresh flowers that they had just managed to acquire today from the research institute by pulling some strings.

"When Miss Jiang arrives later, I want all of you on your best behavior. Don’t do anything to displease her. If anyone makes a mistake, don’t blame us for being ruthless!" 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"Yes, Family Head."

"Good. They’re almost here. Everyone, go wait by the entrance."

The servants respectfully withdrew.

As one of the ten great families of Federation Central City, the Lan Family was naturally not short on money.

This manor belonged to Lan Yidan personally. It was where she usually gathered with her partners and children, making it the main family residence.

When she hadn’t summoned them all back, her other partners and children mostly lived in their own separate houses.

As Lan Yidan’s first partner, Yan Mingrui was primarily responsible for all her daily affairs, including scheduling the soothing times for her other partners. He was equivalent to the primary spouse in ancient times, managing not only internal household matters but also external ones.

Therefore, he spent more time at the Lan residence and usually lived in the manor.

The others only came over for short stays occasionally. They were all gathered here today only because Lan Yidan had given the order.

Lan Yuyan had a total of three younger brothers and no sisters, but he had plenty of paternal and maternal cousins.

Due to intense family competition, both Lan Yidan and Yan Mingrui had rivals in their respective families that they didn’t get along with. To ensure today’s meeting wasn’t ruined, they didn’t invite anyone from their extended families.

They had only planned for the immediate family to meet, get acquainted, and share a meal.

They never expected, however, that both sides had received news of the visit in advance.

When Lan Yidan saw her third older sister and her two partners, as well as Yan Mingrui’s older brother and his female master, arrive at the door, she knew there was still a mole within the Lan Family.

She had conducted many investigations but had never managed to root out the person. She had even suspected her own partners and children, but nothing came of it.

’They’re really hidden deep,’ she thought.

"I wonder what brings my third sister and brothers-in-law, as well as the Young Master of the Ming Family and Ms. An, to my door? We have guests today and I’m afraid we don’t have time to entertain you all."

"If it’s nothing important, how about I pay you a personal visit another day?"

Lan Yiqiong smiled. "Little sister, I heard Yuyan has found a female master, so I came especially to offer my congratulations."

"I’m here for that as well. I heard Yuyan suddenly got married, and to a C-level singer no less. As Yuyan’s paternal uncle, I couldn’t rest easy, so I came over to vet her myself."

"Given the status of our two families, plus Yuyan’s own strength, not just any riffraff can become his female master."

"You all need to be on your guard. Don’t be deceived by someone with ulterior motives."

Yan Mingrui’s expression soured. "That won’t be necessary, big brother. As long as Yuyan is happy, we’ll be pleased with whatever female master he chooses."

"Brother-in-law, I can’t agree with that," Lan Yiqiong interjected. "Yuyan is a child of our Lan Family. He should be marrying for the sake of a family alliance."

"Instead, for the sake of some C-level female, he angered Bai Qingqing, causing the Bai family to form an alliance with the Song Family."

"Little sister, brother-in-law, do you have any idea what a huge loss this is for the Lan Family?"

Lan Yidan asked bluntly, "Third Sister, are you here today to offer congratulations, or to condemn us?"

"If you’re here to congratulate us, then leave your gift and go."

"If you’re here to condemn us, then go and complain to Mother. My family will bear the responsibility for any losses to the clan."
