Seeing this, Kong Liu grabbed Kong Yuzhen's hand and scolded, "Yuzhen, what are you doing?"
Kong Yuzhen's eyes welled up with tears of heartache. "Brother, it's all your fault. You knew perfectly well that Yuyan was from the countryside and didn't know how to do these things, yet you insisted on making her pour tea for Brother Mengbai. Has she ever drunk tea before? You still made her pour tea."
"Waaaaah, I never want to talk to my brother again!" Kong Yuzhen looked aggrieved and had nowhere to vent her frustration. Everyone knew how much she liked Meng Bai, so why were they preventing them from being together?
It was Zhou Mingyue before, but now the brother is pushing Yu Yan to Meng Bai. Who is his real sister?
Kong Yuzhen felt wronged again, like a young girl with nowhere to confide her feelings. Embarrassed, she covered her face and ran upstairs.
Seeing Zhou Mingyue and Kong Liu taking medicine boxes and looking for handkerchiefs, Su Qingci also burst into tears.
"Waaaaah, I really didn't mean to, Brother Meng Bai, I'm so sorry, are you alright?"
Meng Bai's face was pale as he looked at Su Qingci's tearful face, and he still had to force a smile, "It's alright, it's alright, don't worry, Sister Yuyan."
"Oh dear, look at your face, it's all stained from crying," Meng Bai said, reaching out to wipe away Su Qingci's tears.
Su Qingci took a step back, held her breath, and her face turned bright red. "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I can't do anything right."
She seemed both guilty and ashamed to stay any longer, and ran away faster than Kong Yuzhen, covering her face.
Inside Kong Yuzhen's room, she was lying on the bed, crying her heart out, when suddenly the door was violently pushed open.
She paused, still sobbing, and was about to look up when a dark figure quickly pounced into her arms.
"Waaaaah, Yuzhen, Awooo~"
Su Qingci's shout was so heartbreaking that it choked Kong Yuzhen's sobs back.
Kong Yuzhen pushed her away impatiently, "Why are you crying? If anyone should be crying, it should be me. You clearly said you wouldn't compete with me for Meng Bai's brother, and I trusted you so much."
Su Qingci looked utterly devastated. "Who's trying to steal Meng Bai from you? I don't even like him! I already have someone I like!"
Kong Yuzhen was skeptical. "You have someone you like? You've only been here a short time, and you've only met a few people. Who can compare to Brother Meng Bai!"
"Who said that? The guy next to him with glasses is much better! He's so polite and doesn't flirt around like that!"
Kong Yuzhen's eyes lit up. "You like Yu Shengchun?"
"Aren't you going to compete with me for Brother Meng Bai anymore?"
Seeing Kong Yuzhen's wary expression, Su Qingci gritted her teeth and said, "Yes, I like the four-eyed guy next to him!"
Kong Yuzhen breathed a sigh of relief, "Then just now, how... how did you... treat my brother Meng Bai..."
Su Qingci was speechless. "Do you think I did this willingly? Even you don't dare to disobey Sixth Master, how could I?"
As she spoke, Su Qingci showed great interest in the bespectacled man, "Um, what's his name? What's his situation? I noticed he never says anything and always looks expressionless."
Seeing that Su Qingci really didn't have any lingering feelings for her Meng Bai brother, Kong Yuzhen enthusiastically introduced Yu Shengchun to her.
"His name is Yu Shengchun, he's unmarried, and he's Meng Bai's right-hand man, but there's something wrong with his background!"
"What's the problem?"
"His parents were both professors at Shanghai University. They were taken away by the Revolutionary Committee six or seven years ago, and we don't know where they are now or whether they are still alive."
"It was only because Brother Meng Bai saw that Yu Shengchun was somewhat useful that he spent money to bribe his way into being by his side. Otherwise, with his background, he would have been drowned in scorn long ago, and he wouldn't be living such a respectable life!"
At this point, Kong Yuzhen regretted it a little. After Yu Yan heard her talk about Yu Shengchun's background, she probably still thought her Meng Bai brother was better.
Thinking of this, she quickly explained, "Don't underestimate Yu Shengchun just because he comes from a humble background. He's a favorite of Brother Meng Bai now. Most people aren't as successful as him. Brother Meng Bai values him highly and likes to take him everywhere he goes. He's also very capable. I heard he speaks several languages!"
"Russian, English, Korean, and what else...?"
Su Qingci's eyes darted around; this four-eyed man was definitely suspicious. "How did you know? Who told you?"
When Kong Yuzhen saw that Su Qingci suspected her, she panicked. She really shouldn't have told Yu Yan about Yu Shengchun's background; she should have let her get involved before telling her.
"I've heard it!"
Su Qingci's pupils contracted. "You're not kidding me, are you? His background is so shady. If I like him, my identity will be questionable too, and my future children will be considered tainted. Compared to that, Brother Meng Bai..."
Kong Yuzhen grabbed Su Qingci's arm, "It's true, it's true, I really heard it!"
As she spoke, Kong Yuzhen stood up, opened the door and looked inside, then turned back and whispered in Su Qingci's ear, "A year ago, there was some kind of celebration banquet held at sea, and I went too."
"You know, I've always liked Brother Meng Bai. Later, I saw him walking alone towards the lower cabin, so I followed him. That's when I heard Yu Shengchun speaking a foreign language with a tall man wearing a hat!"
"Later, when my brother found out I was gone, he came looking for me. He was very angry that time! He told me not to tell anyone."
"Yu Yan, I only told you this because I consider you a good sister, so you absolutely must not tell anyone!"
"Although it's not uncommon for foreign guests to visit Shanghai, it's not good if others find out. They might use this as an excuse to harm Brother Mengbai!"
Su Qingci nodded solemnly, "Don't worry, I definitely won't talk about such things carelessly!"
"But from what I see, Sixth Master is trying to push me onto your Brother Meng Bai. I don't like him. You know, Sixth Master brought me to Shanghai and gave me a life of comfort. If I refuse to do what he asks me to do, I'll be ungrateful. But if I do... I hope Yu Shengchun won't misunderstand!"
Su Qingci looked distressed and heartbroken, which greatly eased Kong Yuzhen's anger.
"Yu Yan, don't worry, I will help you!"
Su Qingci looked grateful. "Alright, you have to help me. If Sixth Master asks me to do anything tonight, I'll cooperate first, but you know I don't want to. You'll definitely have to help me later!"
The two had just made up when Aunt Qin came up to call for help.
"Yuzhen, Yuyan, Sixth Master has invited them down for dinner!"
The two walked downstairs hand in hand. Meng Bai, looking greasy, greeted them, "It's a great honor to have dinner with you two beautiful ladies~"
Kong Liu and Meng Bai exchanged a glance and smiled at each other, seemingly having reached some kind of agreement.
"Yu Yan, come, come, tonight you have to have a couple of drinks with Brother Meng to apologize!"
