Meng Xueyun grumbled irritably, while Ye Zhenghua said impatiently from the side, "Open the door and see who it is."
Meng Xueyun then reluctantly slipped on her plastic slippers and went to open the door.
As soon as the door opened, Meng Xueyun looked up and saw the person standing at the door, and immediately froze on the spot.
She was a woman dressed so extravagantly that she almost blinded her.
She had long, wavy hair, her face was painted snow-white, and her lips were painted bright red, as if she had just eaten someone and forgotten to wipe her mouth.
He wore a pair of sunglasses that covered half of his face.
She was wearing an overly flashy sequined dress that reflected colorful lights as she swayed.
She was also carrying several colorful paper bags in her hands, with foreign words printed on them that she didn't recognize.
Who else could this woman, dressed like a returned overseas Chinese, be but her unfortunate niece, Meng Zihan?
Wasn't she beaten half to death by her Hong Kong boss and lying in the hospital?
How come you've come back like nothing happened in such a short time?
This outfit doesn't make him look like he's short of money.
Why did she come back?
When Meng Zihan saw Meng Xueyun blocking the doorway, staring intently at her without saying a word or letting her in, she immediately became impatient.
She took off her sunglasses, revealing a pair of eyes heavily lined with eyeliner, and asked unhappily, "Auntie, what are you standing there for? Don't you recognize me? Aren't you welcoming me back?"
"Oh? Oh! Welcome, how could we not welcome you!"
Meng Xueyun snapped out of her daze and quickly stepped aside to let her into the room.
"Come in, come in! You've really grown up, kid! Why didn't you call ahead so I could have picked you up?"
Meng Zihan snorted, picked up her bags and walked gracefully into the house.
Inside the house, Ye Zhenghua was half-lying on the balcony, basking in the sun.
Twin brothers Ye Linnan and Ye Linbei sat on the sofa watching a rerun of the TV series "Journey to the West".
Hearing the noise at the door, the two of them looked up at the same time.
Everyone stared in astonishment at Meng Zihan's "glorious return home" demeanor.
These two brothers are not as easily fooled as their parents.
They knew that their cousin had a relationship with a wealthy boss, but somehow she was beaten up and ended up in the hospital.
Unexpectedly, she has now reappeared at home looking so glamorous.
Ye Linnan's gaze slid from Meng Zihan's sparkly dress to her high heels with thin, high heels, and finally landed on the paper bags with foreign words printed on them.
He nudged his younger brother beside him with his elbow.
Ye Linbei understood and glanced at Meng Zihan without making a sound.
This older cousin of mine has always been a troublemaker since she was little, full of cunning and wickedness.
As the saying goes, one doesn't visit a temple without a reason.
She came back this time dressed like a peacock; her purpose was definitely not simple.
Meng Zihan, of course, had no idea about the intricate schemes in Ye Linnan and Ye Linbei's minds.
In her view, the two brothers weren't paying attention to the TV at all; they were just staring straight at her, their eyes clearly showing what she wanted to see most.
Envy, jealousy, and regret for past neglect!
That look made her feel completely comfortable, and she exuded a sense of smugness from head to toe.
That's more like it!
Isn't her coming back this time precisely to broaden the horizons of these country bumpkins who have never seen the world?
She wanted everyone in the room to see clearly that even without going to university, she, Meng Zihan, was still thriving and had become someone they looked up to.
Meng Zihan casually placed the shopping bag in her hand on the coffee table, and then sat down gracefully next to the twin brothers.
She crossed her legs smugly, and with that movement, a strong perfume scent instantly filled the air, making the two brothers dizzy.
"Xiao Nan, Xiao Bei, why are you still watching TV that only children watch?"
Mencius, speaking with a Hong Kong accent, asked condescendingly, "Have you finished the college entrance exam? Have you estimated your scores? How were they?"
Ye Linnan frowned in dissatisfaction.
Do they really think they're city leaders coming to the countryside to inspect and comfort impoverished households?
He didn't give Meng Zihan any face and continued watching his TV, pretending not to hear.
He seemed to be saying "Don't talk to me."
Ye Linbei was more composed than her brother; he was still thinking about finding out information for her sister, Ye Linchen.
He endured the strong scent of perfume and said calmly, "The exam is over, but the results haven't come out yet. They should... be alright."
"Oh? Not bad?"
Meng Zihan drew out his words, his gaze sweeping back and forth between the two brothers, and asked with great interest.
"Have you filled out your college applications? Which schools did you choose? Tell me, and I'll give you some advice."
Ye Linnan sneered inwardly upon hearing her tone.
He didn't even get into university, yet he has the nerve to give us advice.
He turned his head and gave his younger brother a look.
Ye Linbei immediately understood, lowered his eyelids, and casually said, "Jiangcheng University."
This was, of course, a pre-arranged excuse they used to appease their parents.
In fact, the brothers' goal was to attend the University of Political Science and Law in Jiangcheng City.
They didn't even dare tell Ye Zhenghua and Meng Xueyun about this, for fear of their opposition.
Now, facing their scheming cousin, they're even less likely to tell the truth.
"Jiangcheng University..."
Meng Zihan drawled out her words, her smile growing even brighter, radiating undisguised pity and a sense of superiority.
"That's good, but Jiangcheng is too small. You really should go and see Gangcheng; that's a true international metropolis. What kind of future can you have staying in Jiangcheng your whole life?"
"Let me tell you, Hong Kong City University is one of the top universities in the world. I hope you can get into that university!"
"Sigh, forget it, what's the point of saying all this? You have no chance of getting in anyway, just focus on studying at Jiangcheng University."
"By the way, isn't your cousin also at Jiangcheng University? From now on, the three of you siblings will all be alumni of the same school!"
She said that, but in her heart she was disdainful.
So what if it's Jiangcheng University?
So what if you're a student from a prestigious university?
He's still a country bumpkin who's never seen the world; even after graduation, he'll only have a few hundred yuan in fixed salary!
When that time comes, you three siblings will all have to live at my beck and call, and you will all be trampled underfoot by your cousin who never went to college!
The thought of Ye Linchen possibly struggling to earn a few hundred yuan a month in the future, while Meng Zihan could casually throw around tens of thousands of yuan, filled Meng Zihan with immense joy and high spirits.
Ye Linbei really didn't want to listen to Meng Zihan's sarcastic remarks anymore.
He found it annoying and disgusting.
He turned his head and stared directly into Meng Zihan's eyes, deciding to take the initiative and strike directly at her sore spot.
