"Wen Shengsheng, I am your brother."
"Ha—you still remember you're my brother!"
Upon hearing this, Wen Qinian's expression changed drastically.
Wen Shengsheng's eyes were filled with disdain and contempt.
The man in front of her seemed to have been greatly shocked; he fled in panic, and after he left, her world went silent.
Finally, I can get some proper rest.
-
The Meng family.
When the Meng family learned that Wen Shengsheng and Qin Heming were about to get engaged, their feelings were actually quite complicated, just like those of the Wen family.
After finding Meng Qiqi, they have been trying their best to make it up to her; they want to give her the best of everything!
"Qiqi... Wen Shengsheng's position should have belonged to you. If you really want to marry Ling Zhiyan, no matter how good he is, he is still a cripple."
Marrying a disabled man is tantamount to being a widow, and she doesn't want to live a life of hardship every day.
"Mom... I like Zhiyan, and Zhiyan's leg will definitely get better in the future. Zhiyan and I will definitely be happy. He is the man I personally chose!"
Seeing the unwavering determination in their daughter's eyes, the couple had no choice but to agree. After all, the child was stubborn and once she made up her mind, there was no changing it.
A commotion arose outside, and Meng's father frowned: "Meng Xian... what are you shouting about?"
"Dad... the Ling family has come to propose marriage."
Meng Xian's voice came from outside.
The three people inside looked at each other in bewilderment. Meng Qiqi was the first to act, nervously gripping her knees.
Zhiyan is no less capable than anyone else, and Zhiyan cares about her.
When Meng Xian and the two strangers appeared, a hint of disappointment flashed across Meng Qiqi's eyes.
The visitor stated, "Mr. Meng, Mrs. Meng, Miss Meng, I have come to propose marriage on the orders of my third young master. This is a gift from my third young master to Miss Meng!"
There was only an exquisite box, nothing else. Meng Qiqi had looked it over several times; they indeed only had this one thing in their hands.
Disappointing, really disappointing, it's nothing like what Qin Heming prepared for Wen Shengsheng.
"Things were rushed, and the gifts will be sent later. This is the engagement date chosen by Young Master Ling. I wonder if the Meng family has any objections?"
The butler handed over a red paper.
"The day after tomorrow? This..." Meng's father was not happy. Engagement is a big event, and preparations are very rushed.
Moreover, the Ling family didn't even consult with them before presenting the date, which made Meng's father feel that the Ling family didn't respect them.
"I agree, the day after tomorrow it is then." Meng Qiqi hurriedly spoke up, afraid that her parents would object.
Since it concerned Meng Qiqi's happiness, they respected Meng Qiqi's wishes. In the end, Meng's parents could only agree, but they were still uncomfortable. Did the Ling family really treat them as in-laws?
Overjoyed, Meng Qiqi caught up with the butler and asked gently, "Uncle Butler... how is Zhiyan's leg?"
"The Third Young Master is doing well right now. I believe his condition will only get better after Miss Meng marries him."
Meng Qiqi smiled shyly, thus missing the fleeting sarcasm in the butler's eyes.
"Let the Third Young Master rest well. I'll be waiting for him the day after tomorrow." Meng Qiqi smiled happily.
After the housekeeper left, she jumped up and down excitedly.
"Are you really going to marry Ling Zhiyan?"
“Brother… I love Zhiyan. Even if he can never stand up again, I will still love Zhiyan. I want to follow Zhiyan for the rest of my life.” Meng Qiqi spoke with conviction, seemingly very affectionate, but Meng Xian stared at Meng Qiqi with suspicion.
Before the Meng family recognized Meng Qiqi, Meng Xian knew her character in the circle very well. Marrying a disabled person was not like Meng Qiqi's style!
"Ah, I wish you all your dreams come true."
"Thanks."
Meng Xian stared at her retreating figure, his eyes no longer hiding any mockery.
His pretentiousness and affectation are so obvious that only his parents and the blind Wen family can't see through it!
The next day.
After Wen Shengsheng finished washing up, her mother knocked on her door and learned that Qin Heming's people had sent a lot of clothes, shoes and jewelry, which were items for the engagement. Qin Heming was very generous, which made Wen's mother very envious.
The person in the lead was an elegant middle-aged woman who held an exquisitely carved wooden box in her hands.
"This is a gift that Mr. Qin carefully selected. He hopes Miss Wen will like it."
Snap!
The box was opened, revealing a uniquely designed vintage butterfly brooch. Wen Shengsheng's eyes sparkled with surprise.
The butterfly brooch is set with several small diamonds, each of which is priceless!
Wen's mother stared wide-eyed, "This...is too precious."
"Don't worry, this is just a drop in the ocean for the Qin family," the middle-aged woman explained with a smile. "Please be sure to accept it."
Wen Shengsheng: "Please thank Mr. Qin for me."
"Find me a cheongsam," Wen Shengsheng instructed the maid.
"I'll go."
Wen's mother responded and turned to go to the dressing room to get a cheongsam.
Ten minutes later, Wen Shengsheng, now wearing a brand-new cheongsam, came out.
The cheongsam has a smooth cut and soft lines, which accentuate a slender waist and make it elegant and stunning!
Wen Shengsheng quickly pinned the butterfly brooch to her chest. She took the brooch, turned around, and pinned it to her cheongsam.
The butterfly brooch was just right, making Wen Shengsheng's skin look as white as snow, absolutely gorgeous.
The middle-aged woman couldn't help but exclaim, "Miss Wen is so beautiful!"
Wen Shengsheng's cheeks flushed, and she lowered her eyes shyly.
Wen's mother was also stunned by Wen Shengsheng's appearance. She was so beautiful, no wonder Qin Heming could take a liking to her.
After settling things at home, Wen Shengsheng took a taxi to her studio, where she witnessed a rather interesting scene from the window.
Outside the French windows, Meng Qiqi was arguing with a woman who looked a lot like Lin Bei. Could she be Lin Bei's sister?
"You bitch, it's all your fault that my sister was hurt, it's all your fault..."
Lin Shuang's nails were painted scarlet, and her sharp nails dug into Meng Qiqi's skin.
"Are you crazy... um..."
"Slap!" Lin Shuang sneered as she slapped Meng Qiqi across the face. "You slut! If you hadn't been jealous of Wen Shengsheng and bewitched my sister, my sister wouldn't have been kicked out of the Lin family and would never have been able to return to the country. Meng Qiqi, it's all your fault. You don't deserve to be my sister's friend."
Meng Qiqi covered her aching left cheek, her eyes red as she glared at Lin Shuang, "You... why are you scolding me? I didn't do anything wrong. It's Lin Bei who's incompetent. What does that have to do with me?"
"You still dare to argue? I knew you were a stubborn slut!"
"I didn't." Meng Qiqi glared at Lin Shuang through gritted teeth: "I never thought of harming Lin Bei. It was her own stupidity. Lin Shuang, even if you kill me today, Lin Bei will never come back. We should join forces to deal with the culprit."
She tried to persuade him to shift all the blame onto Wen Shengsheng, but Lin Shuang suddenly sneered.
Look behind you.
Meng Qiqi was confused. She turned around and suddenly saw Wen Shengsheng.
Meng Qiqi's heart skipped a beat.
How much of what was said just now did Wen Shengsheng hear?
She nervously clenched her fingers.
