Chapter 77 - Formalizing the Betrothal (4)
Everybody has different thoughts in mind and Qin Ziyi . After Qin Hai’s introduction, they slowly scooted over to where Qin Hai was, including Qin Ziyi .
Qin Hai looked at his FWS (Foolish, White, & Sweet) daughter and felt a headache coming on, “Xiao Yi, what’s the matter now?”
Qin Ziyi’s heart was beating faster than normal, but still she said to him, “Dad, don’t we have a betrothal with the Nie’s? Perhaps we should take this opportunity to… . ”
Qin Hai did not hear the rest of her sentence .
He just thought about the “this opportunity” part over and over again and then, all of a sudden, his eyes lit up .

Due to a mistake in one of their decisions, the Qin’s business has been sliding downward the last couple of years, yet the Nie’s had been going up and up .
And so, when he hinted at their betrothal the last few times, the Nie’s had always used “the kids are still young” as an excuse to push it back .
But now things were different .
Now that the Qin’s have the Huo’s behind them, and all the members of the upper class have gathered around today . If he brought up the betrothal agreement now, it’d be difficult for the Nie’s to weasel out of it .
And it was fine if they wanted to decline it, so long as they offered up compensation for calling it off .
For example, perhaps they should give the Qin’s another 2-3% in one of the projects that they were working on together .
As such, under the intense gaze of Qin Ziyi, Qin Hai walked back onto the stage .

Qin Ziyi’s heart was pounding . She had just told her father that she wanted to marry Nie ChengFeng . With so many people here today, Nie ChengFeng wouldn’t be able to say no .
“Oh, and there is one more thing I wanted to share today,” said Qin Hai as he looked around under the platform and finally his sight landed on Nie AnAn .
He waved at her and said, “Come here, AnAn . ”
Nie AnAn felt dubious, but walked over to him anyway .
Step by step, Nie AnAn walked onto the platform . The back of her dress fanned out in an elegant arc like a fish tail .
She had on high heels today . With her hair coiled on top of her head, she looked much taller than usual . The transparent, lacy back of her dress emphasized her feminine sexiness amidst her cute innocence .
She walked over to Qin Hai, her smile spread on her face as she said in a docile voice, “Hi, Uncle Qin . ”
See Nie AnAn walked onto the stage, Qin Ziyi was baffled . Why did her dad call out to Nie AnAn? She had a bad feeling .
Opposite to them, Qin ZiMing also had a bad feeling .
He looked at the elegant and sweet girl standing on the stage and the feeling of disgust and at a loss took turns occupying his mind . He thought about Nie AnAn’s cooking, then he recalled the way she dressed and looked when she was pursuing him . For a while there, he wasn’t sure which one was the real Nie AnAn .
Nonetheless, one thing he knew for sure was that she had truly lost all passion for him .
Was everything just an act put on by Nie AnAn?
Was the purpose just to disgust him?
Otherwise, how would one explain the sudden changes in her?
But, right at this moment, his father had called Nie AnAn onto the stage . Qin ZiMing felt that if he didn’t do anything now, it would end up in an irreparable outcome .
His parents had always objected to him dating ManGe .
Ever since the day that Li ManGe had used his cellphone without his knowledge, he had hired someone to look into her . And had since learned that she was a very different person when she wasn’t with him .
Which was why he had been indifferent toward her recently .
Even though he also felt doubtful about his relationship with her right now, they had been together for a long time . He wasn’t ready to break up with her just yet .
While all sorts of thoughts were rushing through Qin ZiMing’s mind, Qin Hai, standing on top of the stage, said, “Perhaps most of you haven’t noticed AnAn yet . AnAn is Old Nie’s real daughter . He had also just found her recently!
As most of you may already know, the Qin’s and the Nie’s had a betrothal that was set by our fathers . ” Having said that, Qin Hai looked over at Father Nie, smiled, and said, “Old Nie, now that both of our children are here . What say we seal the deal today?
He might have said that, but he didn’t allow an opportunity for anyone to chime in before he carried on, “AnAn, you are now the little princess of the Nie’s . ZiMing had mentioned before that you two are fond of each other . So why don’t we formalize your relationship right here right now . What do you say?”
