Chapter 51 Men are all the same.
Due to the bloodline suppression, no matter how tall Chu Huai grew to be, he was no match for Chu Xiang. He could only obediently take the beating. Chu Huai glanced at Gu Heng with resentment, silently wondering what charm Gu Heng had that made his sister willing to pat his head.
Chu Xiang found the maid from the Meng family and finally managed to rescue Meng Qiyue from the flower room.
But Meng Qiyue was a complete mess. The more she had looked forward to her birthday party, the more she hated it now. Facing her parents who had abandoned their guests to rush over, she took off one of her high heels and threw it at her father, "Men are all the same!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she shook off her mother's hand, carried the potted plant into the house with one hand.
Mr. Meng was furious when his daughter hit him in the face. His face turned black with anger. "Meng Qiyue, you stop right there!"
Meng Qiyue completely ignored what her father was yelling about and disappeared in no time.
Mr. Meng pressed his chest, feeling as if he was about to have a heart attack.
Madam Meng glanced at her husband indifferently, showing no intention of comforting him, and followed her daughter into the house.
Mr. Meng was angry but couldn't vent it; he still had to deal with a group of guests outside, though the smile he forced onto his face was quite unpleasant.
At this moment, Wen Chi was like a transparent person; no one asked about his situation, and no one cared about him.
Because they were "good sisters," Meng Qiyue tidied herself up in the room before allowing Chu Xiang to enter.
Meng Qiyue sat on the bed, hugging a pillow and leaning against the headboard. Her eyes were red. Today, she was supposed to be the star of the banquet, but she had no intention of going to the hall to force a smile.
She used to be the only princess of the Meng family, but now her father has an illegitimate child, and the outside world will definitely only make fun of her.
Chu Xiang sat on the edge of the bed and handed Meng Qiyue a tissue. "Qiyue, don't be sad."
Meng Qiyue took the tissue and wiped her eyes, stubbornly insisting, "I'm not sad, I just got some dust in my eyes!"
Having been engaged in a fierce rivalry with Chu Xiang for so many years, Meng Qiyue would never allow herself to show her vulnerable side in front of Chu Xiang.
Chu Xiang said, "Actually, your situation is much better than mine."
Meng Qiyue glanced at Chu Xiang, "What do you mean by that?"
"Although your father brought back an illegitimate child, at least you still have your mother standing by you. Unlike me, my mother is constantly traveling between different continents, doing this research or investigating that data. I rarely see her even once every few years."
Meng Qiyue pursed her lips. "Your father didn't bring back any illegitimate children."
"He just didn't bring her back. Who knows if he has other women outside?" Chu Xiang said mercilessly, "You know my dad has a reputation for womanizing. He divorced my mom because of his affairs back then. Even now, there are still a bunch of women who want to have his children. Compared to the enemy being in the dark while we are in the light, unable to control the situation, isn't it much better to know the exact enemy and be able to deal with the problem accordingly?"
Meng Qiyue was taken aback, then asked suspiciously, "Don't you have your younger brother on your side?"
Chu Xiang waved her hand, "Don't mention it. My brother is such a naive and innocent person. All he does is play on his phone and play games all day. If I don't discipline him properly, he'll be completely destroyed when my dad's illegitimate child runs away."
Meng Qiyue's expression was thoughtful.
Chu Xiang continued, "So you must not give up on yourself now. You are the rightful eldest daughter of the Meng family, and everything in the Meng family should belong to you. While your father still feels a little guilty towards you, you must make good use of it. You must not make a scene and annoy him. What if he gives all the Meng family's money to that illegitimate child in a fit of anger?"
Meng Qiyue frowned, "Why should he, an illegitimate child, compete with me for this!"
However, after a while, Meng Qiyue lowered her head in disappointment again, "But... I am a girl and he is a boy. They all say that I am going to get married and that Dad will not give me everything in the Meng family."
"What's wrong with a girl?" Chu Xiang said indignantly, offering a series of terrible suggestions. "You can find a live-in son-in-law, just sign a prenuptial agreement beforehand. If you're worried about the hassle, you don't have to get married. If you want to have children, find a partner with good physical condition. If that doesn't work, you can buy sperm. Who says you have to get married?"
Meng Qiyue's eyes gradually brightened. She sat up straight and perked up again. "You're right, I can go to the Father-in-Law-Child Temple!"
Chu Xiang had no idea what kind of impact her words today would have on Meng Qiyue, such an innocent and naive young lady, and how many difficulties it would add to the future suitors of the Meng family's eldest daughter.
Looking at Meng Qiyue, who had regained her fighting spirit, she thought he had truly kept his achievements hidden.
With Chu Xiang's help, Meng Qiyue quickly put on a delicate makeup. She changed into a new pink princess-style suspender dress and crystal high heels, and appeared in the banquet hall with a powerful aura as if she had returned to the palace.
The crowd showered him with praise.
Wen Chi stood in the corner, completely detached from the hustle and bustle.
With a perfect smile on her face, Meng Qiyue walked directly in front of Wen Chi. Although she was short, she had a strong presence. "Wen Chi, you just wait. One day I will kick you out of the Meng family."
Wen Chi: "Give me back my flowers."
Meng Qiyue pretended not to hear and turned to leave. He Sui rushed over and grabbed her hand, saying excitedly, "Qiyue, with your looks, you're the long-lost leading lady of our drama club!"
Everything returned to normal, as if the previous farce had never happened.
After the banquet, Gu Heng had to drive back overnight. Since it was Monday and Chu Xiang needed to go back to school, she "shamelessly" asked her brother Gu to give her a ride back.
Chu Huai returned to the Chu family home in a car driven by the Chu family's driver.
Gu Heng was naturally happy to help, and he even called Chu Sheng to explain the matter. When Chu Sheng heard that Gu Heng was going to take Chu Xiang back to the neighboring city, how could he not be worried?
Like the Gu family, Chu Sheng knew very well how reliable Gu Heng was.
It's already 9 PM, and it will be past 11 PM by the time we get back to City A.
Chu Xiang sat in the passenger seat, and Gu Heng took off his coat and covered her with it, saying, "If you're sleepy, take a nap."
Gu Heng was wearing a dark blue shirt today, with every button fastened neatly, so that no one could see anything below his neck. But for some reason, the curve of his Adam's apple looked very alluring.
