61: Did you fail again?

Did you fail again?

"The elders have already taken the initiative to greet you. What kind of attitude is this?"0

Lu Yaran hissed in a low voice, upset with Qin Yan's attitude that had strained the atmosphere the moment she stepped in.

"It's fine, it's fine…"

Cai Jingyi hurried to ease the tension. After all, she didn't dislike Qin Yan and besides, it was their family who had let her down.

The Xi couple were very surprised by the changes in Qin Yan. Although they liked her more, they couldn't do anything as their son preferred the other daughter.

Qin Yan ignored Lu Yaran. From the moment she stepped in, she didn't deign to glance at Qin Yicheng or Lu Yaran at all.

Qin Yan poured herself a cup of water and took a sip. Just as she placed the cup on the table, soft laughter sounded from the first floor.

"Brother is right. You're beautiful to begin with, even if you wear a torn rag."

"What? I'm not wearing a torn rag!"

Qin Yan tightened her grip on the cup. Her back was facing the door and she didn't turn around. Her figure was concealed by the tall chair.

Qin Mufeng's laughter got closer, and her heart turned cold.

She told herself that she shouldn't feel this way. Qin Muran was also his sister, and there was nothing wrong with him treating her equally.

But didn't Qin Mufeng dislike Xi Yaohua and Qin Muran's relationship? Why was he here then?

Qin Muran strode down the stairs while holding Xi Yaohua's arm. They walked down chatting happily. Qin Mufeng was also in the tow.

Although she was not healed properly, knowing that Xi Yaohua's parents were coming today, Qin Muran dolled herself up.

She walked slowly but gracefully.

"Uncle, Auntie, you're all here? Sorry, I am late." Qin Muran must have noticed Xi Yaohua's parents the moment she climbed down, so she apologized shyly for being late.

Cai Jingyi smiled at her and said, "It's fine. You are the star today."

Lu Yaran grinned brightly and added, "Look, when Yaohua's parents are here, she didn't even notice her biological parents anymore!"

"Mom, what are you saying?"

Qin Muran stomped her feet and pouted at Lu Yaran with a red face.

Cai Jingyi smiled and teased, "Yes indeed. A married daughter is like water being poured away. Muran will be the water in the Xi family in the future. Of course, she'll have to coax me. She has good foresight!"

"Haha! She isn't water. She's the beloved daughter of the Qin family…"

"Yes yes certainly! Don't worry, we'll take good care of this treasure!"

"Mom, Auntie, both of you… That's enough…"

Qin Muran blushed at their teasing before she dived into Xi Yaohua's arms.

"Alright, alright! You're noisy everywhere you go. Sit down first!"

Even though Qin Yicheng sounded stern, his tone was full of affection.

Qin Yan sat there silently, as the laughter and chatter surrounded her in the room. She felt as though she was an outsider.

There were too many times where she had the urge to stand up and leave.

But she also knew that that would be too rude.

What she could do was to sit there quietly and watch how the happy family interacted…

She really pitied the original owner of the body. Even though she was not the real Qin Yan, she could barely stand all this. How tragic would the original owner be!

As they reached the living room, their faces changed drastically.

"Sister, you're here too!" Qin Muran exclaimed with a mixture of surprise and awkwardness.

Xi Yaohua's smile froze instantly.

"Yan Yan, you're… here…"

Qin Yan pressed her lips and remained mum.

It was only then when everyone in the room seemed to notice Qin Yan's presence. The atmosphere became tense visibly.

Qin Mufeng took a look at Qin Yan and sighed silently.

Qin Yicheng quipped, "Have a seat everyone!"

"Wait!"

Qin Yan finally drawled, her face devoid of emotions.

Everyone looked at her.

"Can I leave first?" Qin Yan's patience had worn out and she wanted to return to her room as soon as possible.

Cai Jingyi and Xi Bingyou exchanged awkward glances.

Lu Yaran's face darkened and she took a deep breath before saying in a low voice, "The main purpose of this gathering is to celebrate Muran's results. She got 694 points and this is commendable."

"What has this got to do with me?" replied Qin Yan sarcastically.

"I know you've never liked Muran, but can't you get involved in the celebration? Moreover, our guests are also here. Stay for a while before leaving," Lu Yaran said.

Qin Muran said gently in a low voice, "Sister, can't you stay for my sake?"

Qin Muran was filled with hatred. Although Qin Yan had crushed her in the results, she wanted to show off the affection between Xi Yaohua and herself.

'Didn't you like Brother Hua! But he is mine now! No matter what, you have lost to me in this aspect!' Qin Muran thought while looking at Qin Yan.

Qin Yan could see Qin Muran's smug expression from a glance. She was not interested in Xi Yaohua at all.

Qin Yan sneered. She had always been like this, cold and mean. She always looked cold and evil when she looked at others.

To Qin Yan, Qin Muran seemed like a joke fawning herself on a disgusting man.

Lu Yaran was agitated by her expression. "What's with your expression? Your sister is just asking you to stay!"

Qin Mufeng interrupted, "Yan Yan, since the mid-term exam results are out, how much did you score?"

Qin Yan looked at Qin Mufeng. Only he remembered to ask for her scores. All others were busy praising Qin Muran and did not bother about her.

Hearing what Qin Mufeng asked, Qin Muran's face darkened. 'Why did he have to ask for this bitch's scores!'

Lu Yaran sneered, "Ohh that's right! You also had your results today! Did you fail again? Is that why you don't want to attend your sister's celebration? I should have thought about it earlier. You have always been jealous of Muran."
