Hua Feng shook her head and said, "No. After the last argument, Lin had put your second sister and me on the blacklist. As for Hua Sheng... I did call her, but she hasn't been feeling very well these days, so she couldn't make it.""Oh..." Hua Zhi nodded. She thought that maybe Hua Sheng and Hua Lin didn't like these gatherings, so they just found an excuse not to come.When Hua Zhi entered the private room, she was a little surprised.In addition to her parents, there was another man she had never seen.In fact, the guests at this lunch were very interesting. There were Hua Feng and her husband Liu Dekai, Hua Qing, and her husband Liu Yuzhou.Then there were her father and mother, and a strange man. More impressively, this strange man was actually sitting in the main seat.The current term for it was the "central position". It had to be said that when the Hua Family ate together, only one person could sit in that seat, who was the Old Master Hua.The strange man was quite young
Hua Zhi's first reaction was: "No wonder my two younger sisters no longer want anything to do with them. Hua Feng and Hua Qing are just abominable."They were so profit-driven that they would sell their own sister for their own benefit. Hua Zhi never used to think that her eldest sister Hua Feng was that bad, just a bit selfish.Now it seemed that her two eldest sisters were two of a kind. Not only did they collude together to overtake the Hua Family Group, now they wanted to use Hua Zhi to ingratiate themselves to the rich and powerful bloke from the capital, they were just.....After Hua Zhi realized what was going on, disdain rose from her heart. She no longer bothered to cooperate. She ate quickly, without even lifting her head.When her family members tried to engage her in a conversation, she either snapped back or gave a perfunctory reply.While Master Xu went to the bathroom, her mother, brainwashed by Hua Qing somehow, actually was trying to persuade Hua Zhi. "Zhi, you're
Xie Dongyao's face was some round after a few days of recuperation. Her complexion was also better. At a glance, she embodied the persona of a rich girl.She was wearing a khaki cashmere coat matched with a pair of black leather boots and carrying a Chanel lake-blue bag in her hand.Her hair was shorter, and the fringe was at ear-level, kind of like a curly Bobo cut. She looked very cute and fresh like a high school girl.In Xie Dongyang's words, his sister looked like the star from Taiwan, Gui Lunmei.You know the kind, not stunning, round-faced, and the more you looked, the more beautiful she seemed...She had that elegant temperament because the rich Xie Family had raised her since childhood. She really was born with a silver spoon and had whatever she wanted.In fact, Qin Wanyu was the reason that Xie Dongyao went abroad to study. She had liked him before, but after being rejected so many times, she went overseas with a broken heart. Who knew that after going halfway around t
Qin Wanyu and Jiang Liu couldn't help laughing. All this time Jiang Liu did not let go of Hua Sheng's hand. It was such a public display of affection."I think you're scaring Jiang Liu's wife."Xie Dongyao finally gathered her senses and ran over to Hua Sheng in small steps. She reached out her hand excitedly."Hello Fairy Sister, I'm Xie Dongyao, Xie Dongyang's sister.""Hello." Hua Sheng nodded slightly but did not extend her own hand.It wasn't that Hua Sheng did not understand common courtesy, she was just not used to skin contact etiquette. Fortunately, Xie Dongyao didn't mind such little things."Could you sit here and relax for a bit? I'm gonna shoot a game with Wanyu.""Okay."Jiang Liu picked up a cue stick and walked over to Qin Wanyu with a swagger. They were about to start a game.Hua Sheng waited quietly in the lounge area. Since the temperature in the pool room was quite high, she took off her white cotton coat and revealed a lotus-pink chiffon shirt inside. Hua
Jiang Liu quickly said, "I didn't say anything, don't you blame it on me.""Why can't I say it? I saw the way Wang Junxian and Hua Zhi were looking at each other the other day. Though it is very in line with Wang Junxian's style, you know, that quiet randy style..."Jiang Liu smiled and said no more.To be honest, Wang Junxian and Hua Zhi did quite well in covering up their relationship, but Jiang Liu had been friends with Wang Junxian for so many years so he could sense something.He just didn't expect that they had already slept together...After shooting pool for an hour, Qin Wanyu treated them to dinner because he had lost to Jiang Liu.Xie Dongyao also tagged along and ended up scoring a nice meal.The four of them went to a Western restaurant at a five-star hotel. They ordered steak, black truffles, lobster, foie gras... all top of the line stuff.As Hua Sheng didn't eat meat, she just had some bread and salad as well as dessert.Jiang Liu and Qin Wanyu were in a good mo
"She didn't say anything. I just asked if she hated you?""What did she say?""She said 'not really'. She probably thinks you're a bit annoying.""Nonsense, she wouldn't think that. She even added me on WeChat." Xie Dongyang flicked his sister's head, not believing what she told him."Bro, do you know yourself at all? I'll admit that Sister Hua Sheng is pretty, but she's really not your type. She belongs with Brother Jiang Liu. Let's not break up a perfectly nice family, alright? Be a good boy.""What do you know, Jiang Liu is by no means her beloved," Xie Dongyang said as he frowned, hinting at something."What are you talking about? What do you know?""Nothing, just that Jiang Liu is not as good as you all think. Something is... forget it. I'll just leave it at that."Xie Dongyang did some investigation on Jiang Liu's traffic accident, so he knew some inside information.He wanted to tell Hua Sheng on several occasions, but after seeing she was quite happy with Jiang Liu, he
After entering the door, Liang Xiaoxiao carefully changed her shoes and sat on the sofa in the living room.Xie Dongyang took off his coat and grabbed two cans of cola from the refrigerator. He handed her a can and then sat on the sofa opposite her, keeping a safe distance."Tell me, what's going on?" To Xie Dongyang, Liang Xiaoxiao was what was referred to as a bandage, which sticks on to people.Xie Dongyang had warned Liang Xiaoxiao before, so she did not dare to pester him. This time, Xie Dongyang believed that she must be in trouble, otherwise, she would not take the risk and see him.Hearing Xie Dongyang ask her what was wrong, Liang Xiaoxiao's eyes turned red again.She didn't drink the cola but put it lightly on the coffee table."Dongyang, I owe a lot of gambling debt. I'm desperate.""Gambling debt?" Xie Dongyang was stunned."Yeah, after I met Du Jinkui, I started working for him for a while. In the beginning, I only helped out in the casino, bringing customers in to
Xie Dongyang was a little surprised that Liang Xiaoxiao would ask such a question now, so he didn't know how to answer her for a moment.The two were locked in a stalemate for about ten seconds or so.Xie Dongyang then glanced at Liang Xiaoxiao and explained, "Even if Hua Sheng hadn't appeared, we would've still broken up eventually, because, in the past, I was just such a jerk. I treated women as clothes and changed them just as often. A woman was just an accessory to me, so breaking up was inevitable, and it has nothing to do with Hua Sheng. However, her appearance has made me realize what a jerk I was and made me change. Now I... I have a little bit of an understanding of what love is."Liang Xiaoxiao took a deep breath and felt both jealous and envious. If only she were the one who could make Xie Dongyang understand love, how wonderful that would be?"Alright then, thank you for telling me."Liang Xiaoxiao turned to leave, feeling a little disappointed. When she came to see Xi
