"It seems like you didn't know about it.""Auntie, I indeed did not know.""No wonder... Then I shall cut to the chase so that we don't waste too much of each other's time. Your parents came to my house and asked for 500,000 yuan as a betrothal gift. I can truly understand the village culture of giving betrothal gifts and that 500,000, to our family, is also not much, but... I didn't plan to let my son date a village girl."Yu Ping's face changed..."Ah, don't think too much about what auntie said. It's not that I look down on village people, but what I meant is that I have other plans for Yuan Shao. His father and I only have one son, and we want to nurture him further, so we have the intention of sending him abroad after the year ends. This means it wouldn't be suitable for him to date anyone. Of course, you are a good girl, so I believe you will find a better person."Yu Ping bit her lips. She was utterly upset. Yuan Shao's mother clearly didn't agree with the two of them being
"Aiya, you damned girl. You're now rebelling! I will beat you to death."How can Yu Ping's mother tolerate her daughter screaming at her? She immediately picked up her slippers and threw them over.Yu Ping caught the slipper and immediately threw them out the door. She said coldly, "I won't even listen to what you say in the future, nor will I be your tool for earning money. Yuan Shao's mother was right; it's fine that you're poor, but you're also insatiably greedy. You deserve to be poor your entire life."After saying that, Yu Ping turned and left, causing her mother to be so angry her face turned white. She just didn't run after Yu Ping trying to beat her.They naturally didn't understand. Why did their originally honest and obedient daughter suddenly change her temperament? They even felt that it might have been encouraged by her boyfriend?"After Yu Ping went out the door, she kept breaking down into tears. She walked on the chilly streets alone, and suddenly felt that even t
"I... came to visit you.""Visit me? Empty-handed?" Feng Xi purposely asked."No. Not empty-handed, I bought crayfish for you."Qin Wanyu lifted a paper bag at the door. He had indeed bought her crayfish to eat."Come in."On the account of the crayfish, Feng Xi let Qin Wanyu in.After he entered, he realized that Feng Xi was in the middle of eating fried chicken and drinking beer. She was living a very carefree life.He hurriedly opened the crayfish and helped Feng Xi add more dishes."You keep eating supper at such late timings. Is it not very unhealthy?""If I can't eat good food, what do I need health for?""OK then... I guess you make sense." Qin Wanyu was rebutted such that he wasn't even a little bit angry.Feng Xi turned on the television. It was playing some ridiculous idol drama, but she was still engrossed in it."Do you want to have a cup?" Feng Xi pointed at the beer on the table."No. I drove my car here. I can't drink and drive.""OK then. Sit anywhere, I w
"I..." Before Qin Wanyu could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Feng Xi."How about we do something?" Feng Xi's interest was suddenly aroused after she was full.Qin Wanyu was about to say he was leaving, but he just didn't have the guts to say the words. Then, without knowing why, he spent the night at Feng Xi's house again.The next morning.By the time Qin Wanyu opened his eyes, Feng Xi was already awake. She was playing games on her phone."Feng Xi, last night, it wasn't my intention to..." Qin Wanyu explained awkwardly."Are you saying that I forced you to sleep with me?""No, I just want to say... ah, forget it, it's okay."Qin Wanyu no longer knew how to talk. It was obviously very simple to explain his feelings, but as the words came out of his mouth, things became more complicated.Especially now that he and Feng Xi were lying on the bed face-to-face. He felt quite weird.He didn't expect that one day, he, Qin Wanyu, would fall into a woman's hands. He never
Was the Feng family really so powerful as the legend said? Qin Wanyu didn't know what the Feng family was capable of, but Feng Xi's grandfather was well-known all over the country in those days.So many people had tried inviting the Feng family to come out from seclusion. Qin Wanyu never could have expected that a descendant of the Feng family would choose such a way to live.Of course, what was even more unexpected was that he was having a vague crush on Feng Xi, but he wasn't willing to admit it.He always thought that he would remain in the curious phase, but in fact, he had long harbored special feelings for this woman.In the Villa of Abundant Youth.It was rare that Jiang Liu had a day off, and he didn't have to go on a business trip or work overtime. He just accompanied Hua Sheng to play chess at home.Hua Sheng had lost two out of three rounds of chess."Mrs. Jiang, a bet is a bet, accept defeat.""What do you want?""Sing for me," Jiang Liu said."I can't sing. You k
Naturally, Hua Sheng had no objections. Anyway, all the people going were her friends, so she agreed."Why don't you invite Feng Xi then?""When are we going to leave?""We'll leave tonight. I'll ask Qin Wanyu to pick her up.""Okay." Hua Sheng nodded. She picked up her phone and sent Feng Xi a WeChat message.Feng Xi was straightforward, too. It was rare for Hua Sheng to ask her to hang out, so she quickly agreed. She had been enjoying her life—wining and dining recently—so she had no serious business to attend to.In fact, this party was arranged to make Hua Zhi happy by Wang Junxian. The Wang family's attitude towards the Hua family had changed after Hua Zhenyue's scandal.Since Hua Zhi had overheard Old Madam Wang's phone conversation with Wang Junxian, so Hua Zhi had been quite down lately.After Wang Junxian noticed Hua Zhi's blues, he came up with an idea. He wanted to take her out for a getaway, but it was a bit boring for them to go out alone.So, he wanted to ask eve
Hua Sheng and Jiang Liu looked at each other and smiled. No one could say anything about Hua Sheng and Jiang Liu because they were a legally married couple.Everyone knew what was going on between Hua Zhi and Wang Junxian, but Feng Xi and Qin Wanyu had not announced their relationship yet. Plus, they didn't really have much of a relationship either.When Wang Junxian heard Feng Xi say that she wanted to share a room with Hua Zhi, he began to panic.He gave Hua Zhi a quick look...Hua Zhi was also embarrassed. She coughed lightly and said, "I'm fine... I can room with anyone. I am not picky.""Then let's share a room together," Feng Xi said, not knowing what she was doing.Qin Wanyu quickly grabbed her collar and pulled her aside. "It's not good to be the third wheel."Feng Xi immediately understood what was going on, and she glanced at Hua Zhi and Wang Junxian."You are all couples. What should I do? Do I have to share a room with Qin Wanyu? We're not a couple." She first tried
River City, Early SummerIn Peony Hall of the seven-star hotel Imperial Prosperity—An awkward debacle had just been played out in front of thousands of guests. The marriage between the children of the Xie and Hua families should have been a great, joyous occasion that everyone in the city knew about, yet the bridegroom, Xie Dongyang, had fled. In fact, he did not even turn up for the banquet.That was not all. Just as the bride arrived, a piece of news was flashed across the huge screens, showing images of Xie Dongyang staying overnight in the apartment of a C-list female actor.It shook the entire hall. The Xies, who were hosting the banquet, were disgraced and panicked... "How can we possibly resolve this?" they thought.The bride, who was left on stage in her pristine wedding gown and a white veil draped over her head, had also become a laughing stock.Madam Hua was unable to remain seated at the VIP table. "Dear, what should we do?" she asked her husband, looking worried.C
