Chapter 1524 A Big Shot
“Mrs. Li.”
Li Muen waited for five minutes before she found an opportunity to interrupt. She said with a smile, “I’ve known Senior Xiaohao for a long time. He usually helps me a lot at school. I’ve brought a gift for our first meeting. I hope you like it.”
After that, Li Muen took out the bracelet.
Hearing this, Li Xiaohao’s mother smiled and said, “Oh, you’re too courteous. Thank you, Muen. This bracelet? It’s really nice. Well, it’s too valuable.”
She couldn’t figure out what it was made of, but she could tell that it was a valuable bracelet.
She was slightly shocked. “She is indeed Li Kai’s daughter. She is so generous.”
“Xiaohao, why didn’t you tell me about her visit in advance? I didn’t prepare any gifts. How about this? Muen, I’ll make it up to you tomorrow,” Li Xiaohao’s mother said.
“There’s no need for that, Mrs. Li. It’s okay. We’re just here for a simple visit.” Li Muen waved her hand repeatedly.
Seeing this, Li Xiaohao’s mother didn’t say anything about it. Instead, she talked about something else. After observing for a while, she felt that Li Muen was really nice and found her more and more pleasing to the eye.
At first, when she saw Mengmeng, she was actually amazed.
She had thought that Li Xiaohao was pursuing Mengmeng, but now it seemed that although Mengmeng was beautiful, she might not be suitable. Li Muen was good-looking, virtuous, gentle, and generous. This was Li Xiaohao’s mother’s impression of Li Muen, which was absolutely high.
She was good at observing people. The point was that Li Muen was really excellent.
Li Muen and Mengmeng lived in different environments. Since they were young, they had been playing with each other. Maybe the ones who hung out with Mengmeng didn’t have the mind of rivalry.
At first, they might compete with her, but later they found that the gap between them was too big. Gradually, they found that it was meaningless to compete with her.
It was like Zhang Han treated Mengmeng’s addiction to the Internet.
He didn’t directly defeat her in the games, but he taught her a lot and made her the top gamer. After that, she found playing online games quite boring since no one could be a match for her.
The whole process of visiting the Li Family was very pleasant.
After dinner, Mengmeng and the other two said goodbye and prepared to go back to the hotel.
In the end, Li Xiaohao’s mother did not insist on having them stay and repeatedly told Li Xiaohao to take good care of them.
After Li Xiaohao left, his mother strolled to the head of the family, and her husband and a few other people were talking about something.
“Why are you here?” Li Xiaohao’s father asked. There was a trace of displeasure on his face.
He usually couldn’t partic.i.p.ate in such discussions or small meetings. This meeting happened to include his company’s cooperation, and that was why he got to have a seat there.
Everyone present was from the core loop, especially the head of the Li Family, who didn’t like to be disturbed when he was talking about business.
Although he didn’t say anything about Li Xiaohao’s mother coming over, it would not be great if he was displeased.
However, since Li Xiaohao’s mother was already there, her husband had no choice but to criticize her.
In fact, he blinked his eyes, indicating that he would play along.
“What’s the matter?”
Li Xiaohao’s mother was not worried at all. She said with a smile, “Our son is in a relations.h.i.+p recently.”
“What?” Li Xiaohao’s father was stunned.
There were few males in the Li Family, and generally speaking, the family elders would be the ones to arrange the youngsters’ marriage. This was also an unwritten rule in the family.
He had never expected that she was here to talk about such a thing.
“It doesn’t matter if he’s in a relations.h.i.+p. He can date someone secretly. Why is she talking about this here?”
Li Xiaohao’s father sighed in his heart.
The other members of the Li Family, including the family head, also looked a bit displeased. The family head picked up his tea and drank it.
Li Xiaohao’s mother didn’t keep them guessing and said directly, “Xiaohao is dating Li Kai’s daughter from Xiangjiang.”
“Li Kai from Xiangjiang?” Li Xiaohao’s father was stunned and then said happily, “Really?”
The others were also shocked. Li Kai from Xiangjiang was quite a powerful figure in the loop.
“It’s true.” Li Xiaohao’s mother nodded. “How could I joke about this kind of thing? They just came to visit.”
“This boy…” Li Xiaohao’s father laughed and looked at the family head and the others. “Xiaohao is a junior now. He’s supposed to be dating.”
“Hmm, not bad. Li Kai is a big shot in Xiangjiang.” The family head showed approval. “But our Li Family in Shang Jing is also an aristocratic family with a history of 100 years. In this respect, Li Xiaohao should know what he is doing. He needs to keep in mind that he is a member of the Li Family and should take the initiative.”
“Yes, I’ll go back and remind him.” Li Xiaohao’s father smiled and asked, “Why didn’t you bring the girl here?”
“They went back to the hotel. Not only Xiaohao’s girlfriend but also her two best friends came over,” Li Xiaohao’s mother said.
Li Xiaohao’s father was a little happy. Seeing that the family head and the others didn’t want to continue the conversation, he asked casually, “What’s her name?”
“Her name is Li Muen. She’s very pretty. The more I look at her, the more I feel that she looks nice. She’s a good girl. It’s the first time she came to our house, and she gave me a bracelet.”
Li Xiaohao’s mother raised her wrist.
Everyone looked over and found nothing special about it.
“It’s quite comfortable to wear it.” Li Xiaohao’s mother intended to leave after saying a few words. “By the way, Li Muen’s two best friends are also very beautiful and lovely. Since they can become her best friends, their families should not be ordinary. One is called Yue Xiaonao, and the other is Zhang Yumeng.”
“Oh, okay, I see. If there’s nothing else, you can go back first.” Li Xiaohao’s father waved his hand.
Just as Li Xiaohao’s mother was about to leave, the family head drank the tea with a puzzled look in his eyes. He was pondering.
Poof!
The next second, the family head spat out all the tea in his mouth.
“Chief, why did you choke on your tea?” a man asked.
Another one asked, “What’s wrong?”
Under these people’s gazes, the family head’s eyes widened. He was choked badly. He staggered to stand up and stretched out his right hand like a zombie.
He said to Li Xiaohao’s mother, “Take, take me to visit them now.”
“To visit who?” Li Xiaohao’s mother was stunned.
“Chief, calm down. What’s going on?”
“Could it be that he’s having a seizure?” a middle-aged man exclaimed.
“p.i.s.s off.”
The head of the Li Family was so angry that his face turned red, but he was more excited. He looked at Li Xiaohao’s mother and said, “Let me ask you, is Zhang Yumeng very beautiful and comes from Xiangjiang?”
“Yes, yes.” For some reason, Li Xiaohao’s mother was a little confused at this time.
Smack!
The family head clapped his hands very hard.
“Yes, yes, it must be her!”
Li Xiaohao’s father stood up and asked, “Chief, what exactly is going on?”
The others were also at a loss.
“You don’t understand.” The family head sighed deeply. “I’ve heard that Zhang Yumeng has a shocking background.”
He still remembered that when he partic.i.p.ated in an extremely high-cla.s.s event, where he didn’t even dare to breathe heavily, some people at the table had mentioned Zhang Yumeng.
“The martial arts world is much more peaceful now. That’s good. We only need to watch out for Mount New Moon.”
“Zhang Yumeng, the princess of Mount New Moon, has grown up. She certainly can’t stay idle and needs to go through some training occasionally. As the old saying goes, it’s better to offend Zhang Hanyang than provoke his dearest ones, especially his daughter. She is someone you can’t afford to offend.”
“I heard that Zhang Yumeng is extremely beautiful, but I’ve never seen her.”
“Don’t you know who her mother is? How can Zhang Hanyang’s woman be ordinary? Zhang Yumeng is super powerful, and so is Mount New Moon. Isn’t the ancient martial arts world arrogant some time ago? But what happened now?”
“…”
Thinking of this, the head family trembled with excitement. He thought that it would be great if his family was related to Zhang Yumeng.
He said, “Don’t woo Li Muen. Go after Zhang Yumeng!”
If people in the martial arts world heard about this, they would probably gasp.
They would think that he had gone crazy.
“Well, Chief, I don’t think it’s a good idea. Li Muen is a very good girl. Besides, Zhang Yumeng is too beautiful. She’s a little ethereal. Xiaohao may not be able to win her heart. And once he woos her, he’ll have no chance to be with Li Muen,” Li Xiaohao’s mother said.
She liked Li Muen more because she felt that Li Muen was a suitable match for her son, who was down-to-earth.
But Mengmeng gave her a completely different feeling.
Mengmeng was so amazing that it made her have no confidence in her son at all. She had never dared to think that she would feel this way.
“You’re right. We need to be careful. I was impulsive.” The family head sat down and took a few sips of tea. “Tell me the details.”
After Li Xiaohao’s mother finished speaking, he laughed happily.
“It’s also great that she’s a best friend of Xiaohao’s girlfriend. Your family has really made a great contribution to the Li Family.”
His words made Li Xiaohao’s father very happy. It seemed that the burden on his shoulders had become much heavier.
On the other side.
Mengmeng and the others returned to the hotel.
“Ahhh! Mengmeng, I was so nervous when we first went there.”
Li Muen lay on the bed and said, “I met his mother so soon. Oh, I’m so at a loss.”
“Why should you be at a loss?” Mengmeng rolled her eyes grumpily.
“Look, you’ve become like this just because you have a boyfriend. Look at your expression. You look like a little s.l.u.t,” Yue Xiaonao joked.
“Of course not.”
Li Muen said, “It’s not normal to be single in college. We’re all adults.”
Then, Li Muen sat up and said, “Mengmeng, Xiaonao, haven’t you ever thought about dating someone?”
“Uh, no.” Mengmeng hesitated for a moment and said truthfully, “I can’t think of any boy who is suitable for me. The point is that no one can defeat my dad. That’s it. I’m definitely not in a hurry to be in a relations.h.i.+p. I’m still young.”
“After New Year, we’ll be 20 years old,” Li Muen said. “It is the prime of our lives when we are 20 to 30 years old.”
It was not the same for cultivators.
Yue Xiaonao’s lips moved, but she didn’t say anything in the end.
She thought for a moment and said, “We don’t care if you have a boyfriend or not. It seems that Li Xiaohao is not bad anyway. You can stay together with him now. When you want to join our loop, we will take you to cultivate.”
“You’re so nice to me, Sister Nao,” Li Muen said with a smile.
“We’ve been besties for so many years.” Yue Xiaonao raised her eyebrows.
Mengmeng said, “Even if you’re in love, don’t rush it. We can observe Li Xiaohao for a while longer. What if he fakes his feelings and is actually a jerk?”
“He definitely isn’t. I can feel it,” Li Muen said confidently.
Mengmeng and Yue Xiaonao exchanged a look.
Sure enough, a girl in love would become stupid.
