He thought that Hua Sheng would refuse, for she rarely ate late.To his surprise, she pointed at a restaurant down the road and said, "Let's go eat there."Jiang Liu parked his Rolls-Royce slowly on the side of the road.They got out of the car and walked toward the little restaurant that Hua Sheng had pointed to.It was a small restaurant that sold noodles and wonton. Although it was small, it was quite clean and tidy."Hi, what can I get you?"The owner was a middle-aged woman in her 40s. She had a kind face, seemingly very approachable.Hua Sheng looked at the menu and pointed. "I want cabbage wonton with some noodles.""Sure.""I want a bowl of wonton with three kinds of filling," Jiang Liu said.They hadn't eaten much at the Divine Beauty nightclub. That club was not a place to eat anyway, as people went there to drink, sing, and dance.As they were sitting across from each other, Jiang Liu found that Hua Sheng was quiet most of the time.She even ate quietly, which wa
As soon as she said this, Hua Zhi picked up her phone and dialed Xie Dongyang's number.Xie Dongyang was still seething over Hua Sheng ignoring him and having to give his Porsche to Gao He as compensation."Hello?"Seeing that Hua Zhi was calling, he immediately picked the phone up."Xie Dongyang, who do you think you are? How dare you smear the name of my baby sister in that post!" Hua Zhi had no use for formalities when making a call like this."What post?""Don't play dumb! It's all over Weibo.""Let me take a look."Xie Dongyang picked up his laptop and opened up Weibo. He saw the post as soon as the page loaded.He clicked it and quickly scanned its contents."Hua Zhi, this is... I didn't do this. I mean, I may not exactly be a man of honor, but not even I would sink this low. Besides, I actually like Hua Sheng, how could I possibly smear her name? Haven't you thought of that?"Hua Zhi picked up her phone and glanced at the post once more with a suspicious eye."I don'
Song Meiqi was terrified. She knew what Xie Dongyang was capable of.He had always been the little prince who no one, not even the emperor, could control, and he gave everyone a headache."I did it. But cousin, I had my reasons."In fear of getting slapped, Song Meiqi anxiously explained herself.Xie Dongyang let out a "humph" and took a seat on the sofa, smacking his left hand against the back of the frame."Go on then. What reasons?""I have always liked Jiang Liu... And suddenly he's been taken away from me... My heart couldn't take it... It's like I've lost out on true love... Surely, Yaoyao has told you that I like Jiang Liu. In college, I tried to take the same classes as him just so I could see him... I did so much... I wasn't willing to give him up... And I also figured that if I stirred things up between them enough that they might break up, then you could get with Hua Sheng. Don't you like her?" Song Meiqi was in a hurry to get Xie Dongyang on her side."Heh, you're re
The girl's face went red with embarrassment when she heard Xie Dongyang speak to her like that.Madam Xie tried to smooth things over. "Heh, Xiuxiu, now you see my son is so funny, right? Not like his father and me, he is just so carefree."The girl nodded her head in silence."Dongyang, you have guests. Go get dressed."Quite aloof, Xie Dongyang instead descended the stairs without hurry until he reached the girl's side.To be honest, the girl was not bad-looking at all. She had big, round eyes and ear-length, cropped chestnut-colored hair that was slightly curled.Her make-up was done extremely well, and she was clad in a white one-piece dress from a famous designer brand. To top it off, she wore really huge hoop earrings.She seemed poised and dressed tastefullyIt was fair to say that Madam Xie had, in all likelihood, selected a grade-A specimen.In the past, Xie Dongyang would have added her WeChat and teased her when he was bored.But now, his thoughts were all drawn to
To be sure, Madam Xie was angry enough before her son had brought up this subject, but now she was enraged.It was not just her either. Xie Yun was even more angry.He did not care about the Fifth Young Mistress of the Hua Family, but Xie Yun originally had big plans for the Lake of the Divine Dairy.The Xie Family had prospered over the past few years. Their business was a champion at selling precious gems and pearls in the domestic market, and they wanted to expand even further.The Lake of the Divine Fairy was home to gorgeous scenery, and Xie Yun had planned on constructing an office building there for the gem business, creating a sort of second headquarters for the family.But... all of that planning had to be thrown away thanks to his son.What angered him even more was that on the day his son fled the wedding, he went fooling around with some C-list celebrity and let the whole city find out about it.Even now, relations between the Huas and Xies were rocky, and the whole
Peach and Gingko looked at each other once more."Keep your money. No matter how nice you are to us, we are not delivering this letter."With that, Peach and Gingko stepped into the car and drove off.Xie Dongyang had not been expecting this. Ever since he was a child, he had never encountered a problem that money could not solve.He had a saying that he liked to use.It was—99% of the world's problems can be fixed with money, and the other 1% can be fixed with more money.He had reckoned that these two servants would not be able to resist helping him once they saw the cash. After all, delivering a letter was a simple enough task.He could not have imagined that they would refuse him.To be sure, that level of integrity in a person was rarely seen these days.It seemed that Hua Sheng really had been good to them, and that was why they were so loyal.This thought only made Xie Dongyang like Hua Sheng even more."She must have excellent charm."At the Hua Family's business he
Hearing that, Hua Sheng put down the scarf and answered the call."Hello?""Sheng, are you free now? Could we meet?""Now?" Hua Sheng was quite surprised."Yes.""Shall I send someone to drive you to my house?""No, thank you. Let's meet in a tea house." As a reserved person, Hua Lin did not like to visit other people's houses. In addition, she had such a delicate relationship with Hua Sheng.Hua Sheng answered after thinking it over, "Okay, I'll go now."Later, Hua Lin texted her the address; a tea house called Leisure near the university where Hua Lin worked in the Economic Development District.Peach drove Hua Sheng there.Hua Sheng simply wore a black short-sleeve shirt.It was rainy outside, so she told Gingko to help her get an apricot cable-knit sweater.Half an hour later, Hua Sheng and Hua Lin met in a private room of the tea house."Sister Lin, what can I do for you?"Hua Lin handed her a bag of books and said, "Here are some historical books I borrowed from the
A stunned Hua Lin looked at Hua Sheng for a while before she said, "Sheng... you..."Seeing Hua Lin's response, Hua Sheng smiled and replied, "Do you feel surprised?"Hua Lin nodded and said, "You're a little strange today. Totally different from the girl who I've known for many years."Hua Sheng asked, "So what was I like before?""You didn't like to talk with us, and you rarely laughed. Very cold."Hua Sheng lowered her head and smiled lightly."Sheng, you're very happy now, right? In the Jiang Family?" Hua Lin suddenly asked."How should I answer? Happy? I can't say so. You know that I married a stranger and my marriage is just the union of two families... But to be fair, the Jiang Family is good to me, and I can live as I wish. That's enough for me."Hua Lin believed that Hua Sheng must have had a good time with the Jiang Family, because she laughed and talked more frequently than before.She remembered how Jiang Liu had defended Hua Sheng in front of the Hua Family when G
