When Liu Chenmin heard Liu Ruyan say "better than you", he smiled.
For a young and promising person like him, such words would only make him pretend to be humble.
"Of course, the person who is worthy of you must be excellent." Liu Chenmin replied.
He Shiying no longer dared to secretly read the barrage.
She knew that after Liu Ruyan said "better than you", there would definitely be a lot of ridicule.
After all, in this world, people like Liu Chenmin who are better than him at the same age cannot be said to be rare, but can only be said to be unique.
Gu Yuanzhen noticed that things were not going well, so she stepped out to smooth things over, saying, "Chen Min, let me introduce you. This is Teacher Xiao Qingxiao, a well-known romance novelist."
The cameraman moved the camera to Xiao Qing. The former beauty stood aside very casually, with curly sideburns hanging on her pretty face, sunglasses clipped on her lapel, and fine beads of sweat hanging on her soft ravines, shining.
Liu Chenmin was slightly moved: "Xiao Qing? Is that the Xiao Qing who wrote 'Crystal Romance'? Nice to meet you!"
Xiao Qing wasn't impressed by Liu Chenmin. He had already violated her taboo by manipulating public opinion to oppress a young girl. She simply gave Liu Chenmin a perfunctory nod as a greeting.
Gu Yuanzhen continued to introduce: "This is Ms. Qin Yunchu, she is the vice president of Hongtu Company."
Qin Yunchu was quite generous. He shook the hand Liu Chenmin extended and said, "Hello. My company has extensive business dealings with Qixing Company. I may contact Mr. Liu again in the future."
Liu Chenmin smiled and said, "I've heard that Hongtu has a beautiful and powerful woman named Qin, and today I finally got to meet her."
Gu Yuanzhen then introduced He Shiying behind her: "This is He Shiying. She is currently a freelancer, but she has a wide range of interests. I am currently pursuing her."
Liu Chenmin stretched out his hand towards He Shiying, but was glared at by He Shiying, and he retracted his hand awkwardly.
However, he quickly got rid of the embarrassment and turned to Liu Ruyan and said:
"Ruyan, I contacted your uncle and aunt before I came here. They're all very worried about you. Right now, they're also watching the Human Observation program on TV. Can you talk to them? Just once, just once."
"I'll talk to them later," Liu Ruyan said. She didn't want to talk to her parents in front of a large audience.
On the screen, several comments passed by:
"This girl is beautiful, but she's so unfilial. She hasn't seen her parents in years and doesn't even want to call them."
"Yes, he left home for three years and ignored his family, but Mr. Liu still remembered the old times and has been caring for the elderly."
"Maybe she's a rebellious girl. There are a lot of people like this in society who think they're the boss of everything."
…
Liu Chenmin said: "It's better to do it today than to wait for a day. I have been on a video call with my uncle and aunt. You can talk to them. They miss you very much."
As he spoke, he took out his cell phone and faced Liu Ruyan with the screen.
On the mobile phone screen, Liu Ruyan's parents were sitting upright, staring at Liu Ruyan in front of the screen.
The cameraman from Human Observation hurried forward, and the camera switched back and forth between the phone screen and Liu Ruyan's expression.
After seeing her parents whom she hadn't seen for many years, Liu Ruyan did not experience the emotional fluctuations she had imagined.
She looked at them, with an expression that contained indescribable weariness and fatigue.
"Liu Ruyan! You've been out of touch for so long, cut off from home. I don't know where you've been. Dad is very disappointed in you!"
Father Liu looked at his daughter with a serious expression as if he was looking at a failed work.
Mother Liu wiped her tears and cried, "My child, what did I do to offend you? You hate me so much that you won't even see me!"
Father Liu and Mother Liu are not as old as the audience imagines. Father Liu has a rosy complexion and Mother Liu has very good skin. Both of them are so well maintained that their age is not visible.
The background behind them is a carved mahogany background wall. The wooden grids on the wall are filled with artworks such as corals, ingots, and strange stones, which are obviously valuable at first glance.
Through the floor-to-ceiling windows on one side, you can see the rolling lawn and the azure swimming pool.
Father Liu placed his hands on the expensive desk with a serious expression, as if he was holding a press conference, and he was wearing a Rolex watch on his wrist.
Liu Ruyan simply glanced at them twice and said in the same calm voice as before, "Mom and Dad, don't worry. I'm doing well now."
"Living well? Of course you are living well. You don't attend the classes arranged by the family, and you don't learn etiquette. You don't bear any family responsibilities. You feel relaxed. Of course you are living well!" Father Liu said sternly.
Liu's mother wiped her tears and said, "You are the only daughter in the family. I usually treat you like a good baby. You don't know how to do anything. Now you are drifting out into society alone. What kind of life can you have?"
After a while, Mother Liu calmed down and asked again, "Child, where have you lived these years?"
Liu Ruyan pointed to the villa behind her and said, "I live here."
The expressions of Liu Chenmin and his father on the screen changed.
Father Liu asked, "Here? Whose house is this? Did you secretly get married without telling us?"
The girl shook her head and said, "This is the teacher's house. The teacher gave it to me. Now I live here alone."
"Teacher? What teacher? Could he be a bad person in society?" Mother Liu twisted her fingers together, fearing that her daughter had been deceived.
Father Liu frowned and said, "Give it away? Can you just give away a villa worth tens of millions? I'm afraid you're just trying to coax a young girl, right?"
Qin Yunchu pressed his forehead.
