Chapter 23: Family members come to visit



When Cheng Yuesheng saw Qin Heque's message, he immediately sat down and opened his phone.

--Good evening.

Just a simple greeting.

--Good evening.

She replied with an identical message.

——It’s the weekend today, did you go out to play?

——Went shopping with classmates.

She replied honestly.

There was no new news from the other side for a long time.

Cheng Yuesheng was a little conflicted, not knowing whether to take the initiative to send him a message.

——What do you think about it?

It was so direct that Cheng Yuesheng thought he would be roundabout.

——I haven’t thought about it too clearly.

She hesitated for a while before sending it.

Seeing that Qin Heque didn't reply after a while, she thought he was angry.

——Sorry, if you have other people who can cooperate with you, you can go find them instead of waiting for my reply...

Before Cheng Yuesheng could finish his words, Qin Heque's message came.

——It’s okay, I’ll wait for you to think it over.

Cheng Yuesheng didn't expect that he would be willing to reply, and suddenly felt a little guilty.

She deleted her previous message and sent a new one.

——Thank you, I will reply to you as soon as possible.

——Okay. It’s getting late, you should go to bed early. Good night.

——You too, good night.

After saying good night to Qin Heque, she felt a little lost.

She needs to make a decision as soon as possible and not waste other people's time.

Cheng Yuesheng lay in bed, thinking about the blind date arranged by the Cheng family, Qin Heque's proposal, and the relationship between the male and female protagonists. He fell asleep very late. He wanted to get up later, but was woken up by a knock on the door early the next morning.

She got up sleepily and looked through the peephole. It turned out to be Cheng's parents and Cheng Siyue who came to her house together. She was so scared that she immediately took a step back.

She stood at the door and thought for a while, then decided to wash up and change her clothes before opening the door for them.

By the time Cheng Yuesheng went to open the door, the three members of the Cheng family were on the verge of exploding with anger. Cheng's father and Cheng Siyue could still hold back for the sake of their image, but Cheng's mother started scolding as soon as she entered the door.

"What kind of sneaky things did you do last night? You were sleeping so soundly that you couldn't even hear the loud knocks on the door. Are you deaf?"

Cheng Yuesheng just ignored her words. After all, Cheng's mother was a wealthy lady, so why didn't she have the manners of a noble lady?

Seeing Cheng Yuesheng ignore her, she became even angrier, "Can't you hear me? How can you be so polite when your elders are talking to you? You have no manners at all!"

"Okay, stop talking." Cheng's father stopped Cheng's mother. He didn't do it for Cheng Yuesheng, but simply because he felt it was embarrassing to be heard by people outside shouting like that.

Cheng Yuesheng saw the disgust on his face and found it strange. He really didn't understand how these two people could become a couple. But it was good that one was hypocritical and the other was irritable. Together they would not cause trouble to others.

"Why are you here so early in the morning?"

"Nothing, I just wanted to come see you." Cheng's father looked at the furnishings of the apartment. He bought this apartment and gave it to Cheng Yuesheng after she was admitted to university. He said that he felt that her health was not good and the poor conditions of the dormitory would not be conducive to her cultivation.

Cheng Yuesheng didn't think their purpose was so simple.

Father Cheng glanced at Cheng Siyue, and she immediately said, "Yuesheng, do you want to go back home and live? We are worried about you living alone since you are not in good health."

They would be worried about her. Cheng Yuesheng finally knew their plan and wanted to move back to the Cheng family so that he could control her.

“I live very well on my own,” she said dryly. “I’ve lived here since I started college, and I’ve never had any problems.”

"You've been hospitalized twice in the past month. We're really worried about you living there alone." Father Cheng continued to persuade.

"I was able to come here by myself when I was hospitalized before, but now that I'm discharged, why can't I live here by myself?"

Seeing that she was unmoved, Father Cheng continued, "Go back home. There are people at home to take care of you. If you feel unwell and don't want to go out, your family doctor will come to see you."

"No need, I'm used to living alone." She glanced at Cheng's father indifferently. She saw clearly what he was planning.

"Yuesheng, don't be so stubborn. Can't you just go back home and live there? There are so many people at home to serve you. It will be much more comfortable than living alone." Cheng Siyue chimed in.

"I've lived alone for almost four years. Why haven't you asked me to go home before?" She looked at them sarcastically.

"Why do you talk so much nonsense? Just go home if I tell you to. Isn't it enough that the three of us come to invite you back?" Cheng's mother, who had been listening for a long time, finally became impatient.

"I live well on my own, why should I go back? I'm used to living alone." Cheng Yuesheng said calmly, not affected by the irritable mother Cheng at all.

"Yuesheng, it's for your own good that I let you go home. The society is very chaotic now, and it's not safe for a girl like you to live alone." Cheng's father said.

Cheng Yuesheng rolled her eyes when she heard this. Why didn't the original owner worry about her safety when he lived there before?

"I said, I won't go back to live here, you don't need to persuade me."

Looking at the unmoved Cheng Yuesheng, Cheng's father knew that today's attempt would be in vain. It seemed that getting her to move back home was not that easy, so he had to think of other ways.

"Yuesheng, we won't force you, but you should think about it carefully. Our family hasn't seen each other for a long time. Let's go have a meal together later."

Cheng Yuesheng wanted to refuse, thinking that eating with them would definitely cause indigestion. However, it was normal for a family to eat together, and she couldn't find a suitable reason to refuse, so she had to agree.

Only after dinner did she understand why the Cheng family wanted to bring her out. It turned out that there was a banquet in the evening and they didn't want to give her a chance to refuse.

"What kind of banquet is this tonight? Why do you have to make me go?" Cheng Yuesheng asked Cheng Siyue who was putting on makeup next door.

"Today is Mr. Xu's birthday party." Cheng Siyue said meaningfully: "There will be many people attending tonight."

Could it be that all the blind dates arranged by the Cheng family will participate?

She frowned, wondering whether Qin Heque would go.

"In short, you better be alert tonight and don't cause trouble." Cheng Siyue warned.

"What trouble could I possibly cause?" she asked back. She would only act recklessly in such an occasion, as it would only bring trouble upon herself.

Cheng Siyue glanced at Cheng Yuesheng from the corner of her eye and felt that she was different from before. She used to be so straightforward that you could tell what she was thinking at a glance, but now she had become so difficult to understand and even talked back.

She thought about it but got no result. She could only conclude that Cheng Yuesheng had grown up and had his own little thoughts. He was not as easily fooled as he was when he was a child.

Cheng Yuesheng found that her look today was particularly exquisite, and it took much longer to do than the last cocktail party. It seemed that the stylist had tried his best to dress her up.

There is no doubt that this was arranged by Cheng's father. It seems that he really wants to make good use of me tonight.

Cheng Yuesheng lowered his eyes to hide the disgust in his pupils.
