Love Comes After Marriage novel Chapter 860

"I don't think he likes her either. After all, who would like someone that appeared out of nowhere to steal half the affection from their parents."

After hearing this, Miss Li breathed a sigh of relief as her attraction for Quan Ziye grew.

The celebration was about to officially start, but Lin Qian was still nowhere to be seen, so Mother Quan thought Lin Qian wasn't coming. But, just as she revealed a ridiculing smile, a white sports car pulled up at the front of the villa. Out of the car stepped Lin Qian dressed in a long diamond encrusted silver gown, looking extremely feminine.

"Isn't that the child that the Quan Family adopted?"

"Is that Lin Qian? She's so beautiful."

"We don't see this child often. I never expected that she'd be so impressive."

Everyone began to talk about Lin Qian. In fact, a few words made their way into Lin Qian's ears.

But, Lin Qian was not intimidated as she walked elegantly towards Father Quan and Mother Quan in her white high-heeled shoes and gave them a hug, "Mom! Dad!"

Father Quan was indifferent as he briefly acknowledged that it was good that she was back. Meanwhile, Mother Quan's gaze was spiteful and cold.

Lin Qian looked at the two elders. Just as she was about to hand them her present, Quan Ziye suddenly pulled her into his arms and gently hugged her, "Qian Qian..."

Lin Qian angrily stepped on his foot. This man was doing this on purpose, even though they were obviously living under the same roof.

Everyone saw the way that Quan Ziye hugged Lin Qian. Although it was just a gentle hug, it still surprised them.

He did not go near any of the young socialite women in the room, yet he treated Lin Qian with such affection and love. It seemed, this brother did not dislike Lin Qian the way that everyone rumored.

Mother Quan was extremely displeased by Quan Ziye's actions, but she couldn't complain in front of everyone. So, she quietly reminded Quan Ziye, "Ziye, help me entertain the guests."

Lin Qian pinched Quan Ziye and Quan Ziye laughed.

Soon, it was time to open the gifts. Each family presented Father Quan with their expensive offerings. Miss Li, in particular, gifted him a thousand-year-old antique because she knew that he liked to collect them.

"This is worth tens of millions!"

"It looks like Miss Li is trying to win the favor of her future father-in-law."

"This is worth too much..."

After receiving everyone's admiration, Miss Li's lips slightly curved upwards. As a response, Mother Quan did not stop praising the young woman.

"Xiao Ai, you are too kind...I'll get Ziye to share a dance with you later."

Miss Li turned and looked at Lin Qian. For some reason, even though there were so many female guests in the room, she felt hostile towards Lin Qian. Was it simply because she was Quan Ziye's sister?

"Qian Qian, what did you prepare for your father?" an elder asked. "It wasn't easy for your parents to bring you up. You need to be filial."

Lin Qian smiled, pulled a box out of her handbag and handed it to Father Quan.

"I don't have anything expensive, so I can only give you this old item," Lin Qian explained with a smile.

Everyone thought Lin Qian was indeed nothing compared to Miss Li. There was no wonder that the Quan Family smiled so happily at their 'future daughter-in-law' and was indifferent towards Lin Qian.

Father Quan received the box. But, as soon as he opened it, he froze for a few seconds before his eyes became teary, "Qian Qian, where did you find this?"

"I heard you mention it when I was young, so I've been looking for it over the years."

It turned out, the gift that she had given Father Quan was something that once belonged to Qian Ziye's grandfather. Back in the days, he had sold this broken watch to launch his business.

This was extremely sentimental for Father Quan...
