Chapter 32: Demonstration
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Meng Yao had seen Gong Ling before. He was a handsome man, but he was not friendly at all. He was like her eldest brother, who was out of reach.
Most importantly, if the Gong family were to fall apart, Meng Yao believed that she would have to suffer if she married him in the future. To actually need the Meng family’s help, it must not be a small matter. To Meng Yao, marrying the Lu family was still the safest.
After figuring that out, Meng Yao could not help but feel happy. Meng Yao looked provocatively at the dazed Meng Jiao beside her and asked, “Are you angry with Lu Chong, Jiao?”
Meng Jiao was wondering why Meng Yao and Lu Chong had a relationship so quickly in this life and what about the one from the Gong family.
When Meng Jiao heard Meng Yao’s question, she was stunned. Meng Jiao’s blank expression pleased Meng Yao, so she ‘kindly’ introduced her to a wealthy family. “Grandpa, Old Mr. Lu, and Old Mr. Gong, who Lin said was in trouble the other day, are sworn brothers. Every year, our three families gather at important festivals. Everyone in Merina has to attend. It’s especially lively. Every time on that special day, Mother will dress me up beautifully and go with them.”
Meng Yao glanced at Meng Jiao from the corner of her eyes.
Meng Jiao knew about that. She had participated in it in her previous life, but because she was timid and had low self-esteem, she did not dare to take the initiative to communicate with others. In addition, Meng Yao deliberately slandered Meng Jiao, causing the children of the other two families to ignore her. Meng Yao also went to Ning Jia to report that Meng Jiao was not very sociable, so Ning Jia was even more disappointed in Meng Jiao.
Meng Jiao was like a little snail, shrinking herself into her shell, ignoring the people and things in the outside world, and moving further and further away from this family and the class that this family was in.
Seeing that Meng Jiao was silent, Meng Yao continued proudly, “Old Mr. Gong has three sons, while the eldest, Mr. Gong, has only one son, Gong Ling. The second and third misters of the Gong family have two sons and two daughters. Their family was as lively as our family with four children.
“What’s more interesting was that the Old Mrs. Lu you saw only has one son, Mr. Lu Hu. However, Old Mr. Lu has another family outside and his mistress gave birth to four daughters and one son! Isn’t it amazing?
“But Old Mrs. Lu did not allow these children to live with the Lu family, so the person in charge of the Lu family is Mr. Lu Hu and he has two sons, Lu Chong and his elder brother Lu Zhou. Lu Zhou is studying abroad currently, and Lu Chong is the most beloved child of the Lu family!”
Meng Yao’s tone was full of pride.
Meng Jiao did not want to dampen her spirits, so she said, “Lu Chong likes you so much, Yao. In the future, when you marry into the Lu family, you will also be the Lu family’s most beloved daughter-in-law.”
Meng Yao blushed. This was the first time Meng Jiao had said something nice. Meng Yao raised her head high and swung the swing high. She said, “Lu Chong and I grew up together, so our relationship is naturally different from others!”
Meng Jiao smiled. Judging from Lu Chong’s character, the two of them were a perfect match.
“Do you like Lu Chong, Jiao?” Meng Yao slowed down the swing and asked softly as she brushed past Meng Jiao.
‘I see, so she’s worried that I will take Lu Cheng away from her!’ Meng Jiao thought.
When Meng Jiao swung from the swing, she deliberately said softly, “I like him! He was so good-looking, who wouldn’t like him?”
Meng Yao’s gaze shot over like a knife.
Meng Jiao laughed in her heart. She looked away and did not look at Meng Yao.
When it was time for dinner, no one knew what kind of deal the adults had made, but no one mentioned this matter again. Meng Yao was a little anxious, but she could not find a chance to talk to Lu Chong alone.
Lu Chong still had an arrogant look on his face. When Meng Wei returned from outside, the two of them were happy to see each other. They chatted at the dining table and then walked away.
It took the adults a while to realize that the two of them were gone.
“Our Lu Chong, as long as he meets Meng Wei, he won’t recognize anyone.” Shen Yin laughed.
“Back then, Meng Tang, Lu Hu, and Gong Ping were the same. They were at the age where they liked to play. When the three of them were naughty, they also gave us a headache.” Wei Hui said to Mi Lan with a smile.
Mi Lan laughed, “Yes, I didn’t like Lu Hu to punish my son. He wasn’t much stronger when he was his son’s age.”
Everyone laughed.
Lu Hu begged. “Mother! Don’t dig up our old scores in front of the young ones. Leave us some face.”
Meng Jiao and Meng Yao lowered their heads and ate in tacit understanding.
Mi Lan laughed, “It’s fine since your son isn’t here! The two children of the Meng family were well-behaved!”
