"Come in."
Liu Qinghuan opened the door, stood at the entrance, and hesitated to go inside.
"Sister, I know I was wrong."
"Oh? What did you do wrong?" The room was dimly lit, and Liu Qinghuan couldn't see the expression on Liu Qingmeng's face. In fact, Liu Qingmeng was suppressing a laugh.
"Sis, it's all my fault. It's all my fault for taking the liberty of bringing Xinghe to your room. You can hit me or scold me, but please don't cut off my allowance!"
Cut off? Pocket money?
Liu Qingmeng chuckled. It seemed her baby had gone astray. When did she say she would cut off Liu Qinghuan's allowance?
However, to Liu Qinghuan, Liu Qingmeng's laughter sounded more like a devil's whisper close to her ear.
"Sis, I really know I was wrong. Please don't take away my allowance. I promise I won't do it again!"
"You want a next time?"
"No, no, I promise, it won't happen again!"
"Don't tell anyone that Wang Xinghe has been here, or I won't deduct your allowance."
"I promise! Sis! I promise I won't tell."
"Okay, you can go now."
"Sister, you're so wonderful! Not only are you beautiful, but you're also kind-hearted. I love you so much!"
"If I say one more thing, your allowance will be halved."
"Yes, sir. I'll head out right away."
Wang Xinghe came downstairs, and Rong Xu and Xia Shishi also arrived.
"Hello, Xinghe, you just went to see Shishi? You have no idea how hard it was for me to keep it to myself. Aunt Bai told me not to tell Mengmeng."
"Shh, Shishi, don't tell anyone about my relationship with Mengmeng. Mengmeng doesn't want her family to know yet."
"You two are still hiding something."
"Do your parents know about this?"
"Hehe, I don't know, I didn't dare tell my dad."
"Xinghe, my family knows I'm in a relationship, but I haven't met Shishi yet."
"Hey Wang, you and Rongxu can stay here and play. I'm going upstairs to find Mengmeng."
"Great, Xinghe, you look really handsome today."
"You're not bad either. Come on, let's go sit over there."
"Come on, have you told your family that you're dating anyone?"
"I haven't said anything yet; I haven't found the right opportunity."
"Your older sisters love you so much, they'll definitely support you if you tell them."
"Yes, it's because it hurts so much that I can tell you."
"Huh? Why is that?"
"Forget it, the relationships involved are too complicated to explain in a short time."
"Oh, isn't this Patriarch Wu?"
Wang Xinghe heard a familiar voice. It was Liu Feng, who had already passed by him and was smiling as he went to the door to greet the person there.
"Haha, Lao Liu, long time no see. I've brought my son with me today."
"Hello, Uncle Liu."
"Good! Good! Good! I haven't seen Yingjun for a year, he's grown into a handsome young man!"
handsome?
He's at best an average-looking guy. If he weren't wearing an expensive suit, the kind of guy you wouldn't notice in a crowd, how could you tell he's handsome?
"Holy crap, Xinghe, what is Liu Qingmeng's father up to? This is going to cause trouble."
"He can do whatever he wants, anyway, Mengmeng likes me."
"That's what they say, but if their families don't agree, it'll be difficult. A relationship that doesn't have the blessings of their families can't last."
"Really? What do you think of this Wu family?"
"I know the Wu family. They are quite well-off in Kyoto. Of course, compared to your Su family, they are still a step behind."
"How does it compare to the Liu family?"
"You're on par with the Liu family in terms of strength. Look how happy Liu Qingmeng's father is. If he knew who you were, he probably would have come to toast you long ago."
"Don't tell him who I am. Keep a low profile, okay?"
"I understand, young master. You want to rely on your own strength, right? I know you like to keep a low profile, but you can't be low-key in this matter. Otherwise, the Liu family will think that you can't provide Liu Qingmeng with material security."
"Xinghe, don't frown. Big families are all like this. What they care about most is profit. Otherwise, do you think the term 'marrying someone of equal social standing' came about?"
"Sis, we're going downstairs, are you ready?" Liu Qinghuan said casually as the dressing room door opened.
"Oh, Sister Shishi, you're here too! When did you arrive?"
“You all conspired together and kept it all from me.”
"Oh dear, Mengmeng, I know I was wrong, but Aunt Bai kept insisting that I not tell you, so I couldn't do anything about it."
"Okay, shall we go downstairs? Let's go then."
Dressed in a black evening gown, Liu Qingmeng, accompanied by Xia Shishi and Liu Qinghuan, slowly descended the red carpeted stairs. The guests, who had been chatting amongst themselves, were all stunned by the girl coming down from upstairs.
She's like a work of art, every part of her exuding perfection.
A single flower could topple kingdoms and cities; her smile and fragrant cheeks exude a hundred charms.
"Wow! Xinghe, Liu, the campus belle, is so beautiful! You've hit the jackpot!"
"Am I not handsome?"
"So handsome, Xinghe, you've changed! You've become vain!"
"Really? But I'm just stating the facts, where am I being vain?"
"Alright, why don't you hurry up and go take her hand?"
Have you forgotten what I just told you?
"Oh, I'm sorry, I got so excited I forgot, you should be strangers now."
"No, I am now her sister's tutor."
"Yes, yes, Mr. Wang, do you think your girlfriend is pretty?"
What do you think?
Wu Yingjun, who had just been standing there, overheard the gist of their conversation.
The moment he saw Liu Qingmeng, he fell deeply in love with the girl in front of him.
He vowed that he must have this stunningly beautiful girl in front of him.
"You two? Two poor losers, trying to eat swan meat like toads?"
Rong Xu wasn't going to give Wu Yingjun, who had suddenly appeared, a kind look. He even tried to steal his good friend's girlfriend, so he couldn't be polite at all.
"Where did this nuisance come from? What business is it of yours if the two of us are talking?"
"What does this have to do with me? Do you know who's up there? Liu Qingmeng, the eldest daughter of the Liu family."
“I know. I not only know she’s the eldest daughter of the Liu family, but I also know you’re the eldest son of the Wu family. So what?”
"Ha! So what? Your words are full of poverty and squalor. People like you are not worthy to speak to my Miss Liu."
"Hey! It's your Miss Liu again, Xinghe. Don't stop me, I'm going to beat her up!"
"Don't stop me!" Rong Xu deliberately emphasized the words and winked at Wang Xinghe, wanting him to stop him so that he wouldn't lose face.
But there was nothing they could do; the Rong family was indeed not as wealthy or powerful as the Wu family.
"Hahaha, it's all just talk. You actually dare to mess with me? Forget it, talking to you is a waste of my time."
