After saying that, Wu Yingjun straightened his clothes and went downstairs to greet Liu Qingmeng.
"Hey Xinghe, look at this kid, he loves to show off so much, you should go and teach him a lesson!"
"In my eyes, he's just a clown; I'll just watch the show."
"Wow, Xinghe, you're so magnanimous! Someone even said they wanted to pursue your girlfriend, and you're still so calm."
"Because he poses no threat to me. Mengmeng probably wouldn't even bother to look at a spoiled brat like him."
Seeing everyone's reaction, Liu Feng nodded in satisfaction.
"Everyone, welcome to my daughter's 18th birthday party! I hope you all have a great time!"
"Miss Liu, you look beautiful today."
Wu Yingjun deliberately lowered his voice and spoke gently.
"Thank you." Liu Qingmeng didn't even glance at him.
"Mengmeng, let me introduce you. This is your Uncle Wu's son, Wu Yingjun. He's two years older than you and a promising young man. He's studying abroad and is back on vacation now."
"Really? Dad, I haven't heard that foreign universities have holidays in October."
Liu Qingmeng's words almost made Wu Yingjun lose face in front of everyone.
"Ah, Qingmeng, you may not know this, but universities abroad are more relaxed. My son studies very hard, so the school specially gave him an early vacation, right, son?"
"Ah, yes, that's right. I've always been one of the top students. The school leaders saw that I was working too hard, so they gave me a break to come back and rest."
"Really? Young Master Wu is truly remarkable."
"Oh, of course! This is a gift I prepared for you, Miss Liu. Please take a look and see if you like it?"
"Yes, Qingmeng, you and Yingjun played together when you were very young. You even played house together back then. I wonder if you've forgotten?" Wu Yingjun's father added fuel to the fire.
"Really? Uncle Wu, I have a bad memory, so I'm sorry. Just leave the gifts there, I'll open them and check them. Thank you."
Liu Qingmeng's words revealed her estrangement and indifference; it was clear to everyone that she had no feelings for Wu Yingjun.
But Wu Yingjun, oblivious to the danger, opened the gift box directly.
“Miss Liu, this necklace is a gift I specially bought for you at an auction in the UK. It’s called ‘Brilliant Stars’ and is worth 1 million US dollars. I hope you like it.”
Under the sunlight, this dazzling star shone brightly, twinkling like stars shining in the night.
This made the socialites standing nearby extremely envious.
"Wow, it's so beautiful! If I could have it, I'd make him my boyfriend right then and there."
"Yeah, he's so beautiful, I'm almost moved to tears. Wu Yingjun is simply the perfect man."
"Yes, he is indeed a high-achieving student who studied abroad."
The praise reached Wu Yingjun's ears, making him even more smug.
"Qingmeng, may I help you put it on?" Wu Yingjun said softly.
"Sorry, I don't like wearing necklaces."
"Qingmeng, don't you like this necklace? Or are you rejecting the birthday present I gave you?"
Liu Feng, standing to the side, also looked extremely grim. He had been trying to matchmake Wu Yingjun with his daughter, but his daughter kept creating problems for Wu Yingjun.
"Yes, I don't like this necklace."
“Great! Miss Liu, you don’t like it, right? Then what do you like? I’ll buy it for you! I’ll buy you anything you like!” Wu Yingjun shouted loudly.
"You can't buy the things I like."
"I can't buy it? I dare say, if I can't buy it, then none of you here can!"
"Who said that? I have to say, your taste is really terrible. I could pick any one of the people here and they would be better than the gift you chose."
"Good! Good! Good! Miss Liu, I like this challenge. Come on, pick any young man from here and see who has a more valuable gift than me, and who puts more thought into choosing a gift than me?"
Wang Xinghe was watching the clowns jumping around when he heard Wu Yingjun say that, and he immediately sensed something was wrong.
This is exactly what Liu Qingmeng wanted. So, is Liu Qingmeng going to target him next?
Sure enough, before the ominous premonition had subsided, Liu Qingmeng had already pointed at Wang Xinghe.
"Then I'll choose him, the most handsome one in the crowd. Let's see what gift he's prepared for me."
"What?! You choose him? Hahaha, Miss Liu, he's just a country bumpkin with a pretty boy face. Are you sure you want to choose him?"
"What? I can't choose him? Didn't we just make a bet that we could pick anyone? I chose him, and now you want me to change it?"
"Good, good, Miss Liu, you certainly have guts! Alright, kid, bring up the birthday present you brought, let's all see what you prepared for Miss Liu?"
Bai Yueying, who was standing to the side, saw that Liu Qingmeng had chosen Wang Xinghe and secretly thought, "Oh no!" What was her eldest daughter up to? Of all people to choose, why did she choose Wang Xinghe?
Although Wang Xinghe comes from a very good family, the Su family of Kyoto, it is a blended family. Wang Xinghe usually keeps a low profile, so he probably doesn't use his family's money much.
This time, I definitely won't prepare anything too expensive for my birthday gift.
"Mengmeng, how about we change to someone else? I'm sorry, but you all don't know this, but this handsome young man is this year's top scorer in the college entrance examination. He usually comes to tutor Huanhuan on weekends, so we invited him to come along today."
"Tutor? Does the tutor also have feelings for Miss Liu? I choose him! And Miss Liu just confirmed it was him. Excuse me, Mr. Wang, please hand over the birthday present quickly."
"Xinghe, why don't you take out the birthday present I gave to Liu Xiaohua? It's worth some money, so it shouldn't be too embarrassing."
"No need, I'll make this clown admit defeat wholeheartedly."
Wang Xinghe stood up from his chair, straightened his clothes, and went to the front.
Seeing this, Liu Qinghuan quickly went over and pulled Wang Xinghe away.
"Brother Xinghe, hurry down. I'll protect you here and make sure you're alright," Liu Qinghuan whispered to Wang Xinghe.
Then she turned to Wu Yingjun and said, "Mr. Wu, do you think you're good enough for my sister? Your appearance is really... indescribable."
"Qinghuan, shut up! Yingjun, my youngest daughter is still young, and I spoil her too much, so she speaks without thinking."
"You old fool! Look at what he looks like! You want to marry my sister to him? Does he even deserve it?"
Liu Qinghuan looked at Liu Qingmeng pleadingly, "Sister, I've gone all out for you, so you have to reward me!"
