Meng Fanxue had been secretly observing the situation at the main table. When she saw Lin Xiao looking over, she neither dodged nor avoided him, and their eyes met from afar.
At that moment, she felt a strange sensation in her heart.
Even if she was slow to realize it, she understood that it was the feeling of being moved.
She now views Lin Xiao through a filter; she can always spot him immediately in a crowd.
Seeing him made her heart clench; it didn't hurt or itch, but it felt unnatural.
Lin Xiao smiled at Meng Fanxue, which was considered a greeting.
This smile made Meng Fanxue feel even sweeter.
Wei Ruolan and Song Qingliu also noticed Lin Xiao and secretly looked in his direction. When they saw him smiling, they assumed he was smiling at them and a smile that was both flirtatious and restrained flashed across their faces.
Meng Fanxue suddenly noticed their identical expressions, and her pupils contracted sharply.
She clenched her fingers.
A tremendous shock and discovery suddenly struck her.
Unexpectedly, Wei Ruolan and Song Qingliu were also Lin Xiao's clients!
Wei Ruolan's beauty is undeniable; she is the kind of woman who would make any other woman feel ashamed of herself.
Song Qingliu has a cool and elegant appearance, and is a beautiful and charming lady. She is a stunning beauty that most straight men would find irresistible.
And she herself is a useless person confined to a wheelchair!
Intense unease and jealousy instantly froze the sweet smile on Meng Fanxue's face.
She wanted to leave.
But she was sitting in a chair in the hotel, unable to move.
So she took out her phone from her handbag and sent a message to Zhao Ma.
I want to leave.
Song Qingliu noticed that Meng Fanxue's complexion was not good and asked with concern, "Xiao Fan, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Wei Ruolan also showed a concerned expression.
Meng Fanxue paused for a moment, then glanced at Lin Xiao with a mournful look, and finally couldn't help but ask:
"You all know Lin Xiao, right?"
Wei Ruolan and Song Qingliu were both taken aback.
The smiles on their faces froze.
Song Qingliu's heart skipped a beat, but she maintained her composure and smiled, "What, Xiao Fan, you know him too?"
Meng Fanxue blinked her curled eyelashes and said calmly, "I know her."
A look of surprise flashed across Wei Ruolan's face, her eyes darkening as if she were deep in thought.
Unexpectedly, besides Ji Ran, Meng Fanxue and Song Qingliu were also Lin Xiao's clients.
A suffocating feeling swept through my entire chest.
On the surface, Song Qingliu was all smiles and laughter, but in reality, she was very flustered. She thought that winning over Lin Xiao was a sure thing, but unexpectedly, two formidable rivals, Meng Fanxue and Wei Ruolan, appeared.
Needless to say, Wei Ruolan's looks and figure alone are enough to conquer any man.
Meng Fanxue comes from a prominent family and is the only daughter of the Meng family. The Meng family's vast fortune will eventually fall into her hands.
Feeling depressed, Song Qingliu poured herself a glass of red wine and downed it in one gulp.
Meng Fanxue's eyes flickered, and she kindly advised, "Sister Qing, drink slowly, be careful not to get drunk, or your stomach will feel uncomfortable."
Her voice is gentle and magnetic, and it always sounds very pleasant to the ear.
But at this moment, Song Qingliu found it somewhat jarring.
Oh, aside from her family background, Meng Fanxue's own qualities and conditions are also top-notch. If she hadn't experienced that accident, she would have been a dominant force.
She needs to speed things up and reclaim the assets that belong to the Song family.
The cup was placed back on the table with a thud.
Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, Song Qingliu rose, wiped her mouth with a tissue, and regained her dignified and beautiful demeanor, smiling as she said, "I've finished eating. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave now. Bye."
Wei Ruolan and Meng Fanxue were left staring at each other wide-eyed.
Fortunately, Aunt Zhao arrived in time and rescued her young mistress.
At this moment, Lin Xiao was dealing with the interrogation from the people at the table. He occasionally glanced at Meng Fanxue's table and was slightly relieved to see that they hadn't started fighting.
Seeing Song Qingliu and Meng Fanxue leave one after the other, my heart finally settled down.
Passed safely.
Li Yaru noticed that Lin Xiao kept looking at Wei Ruolan's table, and a nagging feeling arose in her heart.
Could it be that the two brothers have fallen for the same woman?
If word gets out, everyone in Jiangcheng will laugh themselves to death.
She snorted and scolded, "Where are you looking?"
Lin Xiao felt relieved and a smile appeared on his face. He said obediently, "I just took a look."
Just now, the group of people at the table had asked Lin Xiao about all his basic information, such as where he went to university, what he studied, the extent of his aunt's illness, and whether he was in a relationship, etc.
At this moment, looking at Lin Xiao's handsome and obedient appearance, no one had any more questions.
Even Aunt Cai Jinlan shut up.
After all, her son is still in high school and his grades are average, so it's estimated that it will be difficult for him to get into a prestigious 985 university like Jiangnan University.
After a long silence, Grandma Feng suddenly spoke up: "Ah Xiao, you... come to our house for a meal another day."
Lin Xiao was taken aback.
He thought to himself that it was a different price.
But she politely replied, "Okay, Grandma. If you're coming, I'll let President Feng know in advance."
Grandma Feng smiled and scolded, "This child... since you call me Grandma, why won't you acknowledge your father? Can't you see how happy he is today?"
"He drank that liquor like there was no tomorrow, he's really in for it."
"Ya Ru, aren't you going to do anything about him?"
Li Yaru's face was icy, but upon hearing this, her expression softened slightly, and she complained softly, "Mom, you can't even control your own son, but he has to listen to me, the daughter-in-law who married into the family!"
Grandma Feng smiled, and all the wrinkles on her face smoothed out.
"Changsong, go and persuade your brother. Also, help him avoid drinking too much. Don't let him get seriously injured."
Feng Changsong's expression was cold and stern, but he still stood up and walked towards the table where his brother Feng Bairan was.
The atmosphere relaxed a little. Lin Xiao, feeling bored, took a liking to the braised lion's head meatballs with water chestnuts and reached out with his chopsticks to pick one up.
Little did he know, Li Yaru was also eyeing the meatball he was about to eat.
Pfft—
Lin Xiao had already picked up a meatball, but Li Yaru poked it away with her chopsticks.
The atmosphere suddenly became somewhat awkward.
Only my little cousin chuckled, breaking the damned silence.
"My aunt and cousin both love braised lion's head meatballs!" she said weakly.
Li Yaru was also taken aback, and her expression began to falter.
She glanced at Lin Xiao and thought the boy's features were very handsome, and his eyes were clear and innocent. Her heart softened for no reason, and she said awkwardly, "Here, have some."
As she spoke, she gave the meatball to Lin Xiao.
Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly, pursed his lips, and hesitated for a long time, unsure how to react.
Looking at Li Yaru, he suddenly realized that she wasn't as scary as she seemed.
Aren't wealthy wives also quite pitiful?
When her husband suddenly brought home his illegitimate child, she could only swallow her shame and humiliation.
So he whispered, "Thank you."
Li Yaru pursed her lips, poked herself another one, and ate it with relish.
I've been hungry all night.
Finally, I got to eat some meat.
