Ye Fei glanced at Qin Lan and immediately started babbling.
However, before the babbling could even finish, Qin Lan gave him a good thrashing.
Ye Fei wailed and screamed in pain.
"Shut up! If you dare talk nonsense again, I'll beat you to death!"
Qin Lan glared at Ye Fei and warned him fiercely.
Then, seeing that it was getting late, Qin Lan immediately said to Ye Fei, "Alright, alright, the banquet is about to start. Let's go."
The two then emerged from the clothing market and headed towards the hotel where the banquet was being held.
"Ye Fei..."
On the way, Qin Lan suddenly called out Ye Fei's name.
"Huh? What is it?"
Ye Fei was taken aback by Qin Lan's sudden call.
Then, Ye Fei turned his head to look at Qin Lan and said, "What's wrong? Could it be that you're gradually falling for me?"
"Hey, hey, hey! Just kidding, just kidding! You're driving, don't mess around."
As soon as Ye Fei finished speaking, Qin Lan abruptly turned her head, staring at him fiercely.
Seeing this, Ye Fei immediately chickened out.
Damn it, she's really Qin Bing's sister!
Even, this elder sister is more fiery and formidable than that little girl Qin Bing!
Could it be that her usual cold beauty is just an act?
At this moment, the more Ye Fei thought about it, the more he felt this possibility.
"I just wanted to remind you that you offended Zhou Chao today. Given Zhou Chao's personality, he probably won't let you off."
Qin Lan took a deep breath and spoke to Ye Fei about serious matters.
"That's no problem, no problem... I, although I don't like to stir up trouble, I'm definitely not afraid of it!"
Ye Fei waved his hand at Qin Lan and said.
"It's fine if that fop second-generation named Zhou Chao doesn't bother me. If he dares to cause trouble, I'll make him feel worse than having pink eye."
Ye Fei said boastfully.
Although what Ye Fei said was quite exaggerated.
However, anyone who knew Ye Fei would not suspect that he was joking.
But from Qin Lan's expression, it was clear that she thought Ye Fei was just bragging.
Although Ye Fei was engaged to her, Qin Lan wasn't very clear about Ye Fei's identity or background.
"Stop bragging. Do you know who Zhou Chao is?"
Qin Lan took advantage of the remaining time, glanced at Ye Fei, and asked.
Then, before Ye Fei could speak, she added, "Zhou Chao is the third young master of the Zhou family. The Zhou family has a very high status in Jiangdong! So, if you anger him, you'll definitely face consequences!"
"What the hell! You woman, are you deliberately trying to trick me?"
Ye Fei's eyes widened as he looked at Qin Lan.
At this moment, Ye Fei felt that he had been set up by Qin Lan.
"Actually, at first, I just wanted to use you as a shield to make Zhou Chao give up his improper intentions towards me."
"Who knew that your mouth was so poisonous, you directly mocked and ridiculed Zhou Chao, provoking him to make a move!"
Qin Lan glanced at Ye Fei and spoke with a hint of blame.
"..."
Was his mouth poisonous? Ye Fei didn't feel that way.
"So, how does your Qin family's main branch, the Qin family, compare to the Zhou family?"
Originally, Ye Fei thought Zhou Chao was just an ordinary fop second-generation.
Who knew he was the third young master of a prominent family!
At this time, while Ye Fei was full of surprise, he was also curious.
"In Jiangdong, there are five major influential families!"
Qin Lan glanced at Ye Fei and slowly began to explain. "The Zhou family and our Qin family are both among them."
"However, although they are all among the five major influential families, the Zhou family's status and position are clearly much higher than our Qin family!"
"Let me put it this way, if it were our peak period, our Qin family might have been able to match the Zhou family, but now... our Qin family is only considered a second-rate family among all the family forces in Jiangdong."
"And the Zhou family is an undeniable first-rate family. Although the Zhou family hasn't been doing too well in recent years, they are still a first-rate family and much stronger than our Qin family."
As Qin Lan spoke, Ye Fei listened quietly.
After a moment, Ye Fei had a general understanding of the Zhou family!
Jiangdong's five major influential families?
This Zhou family seems quite formidable!
"What about the Gao family and the Zhang family? Are they also among the five major influential families?"
Then, Ye Fei's mind went back to the Zhang and Gao families.
Ye Fei had met the head of the Gao family, Gao Guoqiang, and the head of the Zhang family before in Longhai.
It could be said that it was their credit that Grandpa Qin's side was able to return to the Jiangdong Qin family.
Oh, and the Nine Dragons Chamber of Commerce!
"They are not. Although the Gao family and the Zhang family have been very prominent in recent years, their foundations are still somewhat lacking."
Qin Lan shook her head at Ye Fei and said.
"Alright, I'll tell you about these things later. If I tell you too much at once, you probably won't understand."
Qin Lan glanced at Ye Fei, saw they had arrived, and slowly stopped the car.
"Qin Lan, why are you only arriving now!"
As Qin Lan brought Ye Fei out of the car, several beautiful women immediately appeared in front of them!
One of the beauties immediately blamed Qin Lan.
"Tingting, I was delayed by some matters earlier."
Qin Lan held Wang Tingting's hand and explained.
"Huh? Why did you bring a man with you?"
At this moment, Wang Tingting noticed Ye Fei getting out of the car and her eyes widened in surprise and disbelief.
"Sister, hello! I am Qin Lan's fiancé!"
On the way, Ye Fei had roughly understood Qin Lan's plan.
Therefore, after the girl called Wang Tingting finished speaking, Ye Fei directly stated.
"What!?"
Wang Tingting was fine until she heard Ye Fei's words, but as soon as she heard them, her eyes widened in surprise and disbelief.
"You... what did you just say? You are Qin Lan's fiancé? My heavens, am I dreaming?"
Wang Tingting's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief.
Not only Wang Tingting, but everyone else beside her also had expressions of shock and disbelief!
"What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Ye Fei's gaze fell on Wang Tingting, and he asked in confusion.
No wonder, am I, a homebody, not handsome enough?
That shouldn't be the case!
Ye Fei was quite confident in his appearance!
"Qin Lan, are you crazy?"
At this moment, Wang Tingting ignored Ye Fei and directly pulled Qin Lan aside.
Then, Wang Tingting's gaze fell on Qin Lan, and she spoke loudly.
"No, I'm not crazy..."
Qin Lan looked at Wang Tingting, knowing exactly what she meant, and shook her head.
"Not crazy, but you found someone to impersonate your fiancé... You know that Young Master Xiang likes you and is pursuing you!"
"Even your Qin family's great-grandmother is trying to matchmake this, and at this time, you bring out a fake to be your fiancé, and say you're not crazy?"
Wang Tingting finished speaking in one breath.
Then, without waiting for Qin Lan to speak, Wang Tingting added, "Don't you know... doing this will only anger Young Master Xiang, and are you sure this fake you found can withstand Young Master Xiang's wrath?"
"How can you be so sure he's fake?"
After hearing Wang Tingting's words, Qin Lan took a deep breath and retorted.
"Uh..."
Hearing Qin Lan's words, Wang Tingting instinctively turned to look at Ye Fei.
"What do you mean?"
At this moment, Wang Tingting's gaze returned to Qin Lan, and she asked.
"What if... he is really my fiancé?"
Qin Lan looked at Wang Tingting and said again.
"Really your fiancé?"
Wang Tingting's eyes widened, full of surprise and disbelief!
"That's impossible, right?"
Seeing Qin Lan nod, Wang Tingting hesitated and then said.
"Weren't you single before? How did you suddenly get a fiancé?"
Next, Wang Tingting asked her doubts.
