Chapter 130: Marriage Contract
Looking at the little girl who was curled up into a ball and sleeping soundly, Yan Kuan pulled the blanket and tucked her in. He then slowly got out of bed and began to wash up.
“Boss, the Pei family sent a letter of invitation early in the morning. They wanted to pay a visit, but Yu Lang blocked them.”
Yan Kuan looked at the computer in his hand. He did not even raise his head as he said to Dark 1 who was driving ahead, “En, you did well. You didn’t meet anyone from the Pei family, and no one from the Lin family came?”
“No. Other than the fact that they’ve been in contact with the Liu family for the past few days, he hasn’t left the house. He hasn’t even gone to the company.”
When Yan Kuan heard this news, his brows furrowed slightly. He said to Dark 1, “Report the truth to Miss. Recently, send more people to follow Miss.”
“Yes, I understand.”
…
The bright and beautiful sunlight made Shen Xiaoxiao unwillingly crawl out from under the blanket. This Yan Kuan must have intentionally pulled the curtains open to let the sunlight in.
She was exhausted from the entire night. However, when she remembered that she had an appointment today, Shen Xiaoxiao quickly got up from the warm blanket.
Liu Mei was wearing a navy blue coat today. Not far away, there was a bodyguard who was sitting in a corner under the sunlight. Her face was demure. This woman was the kind of person who could easily make people feel good about her.
“Aunt Liu.”
“Weiwei, you’re here. Come and sit down. What do you want to drink? How about hot orange juice? I remember you don’t like coffee.”
Liu Mei had a good memory. Although they had only met once, she remembered Shen Xiaoxiao’s habits. Ever since she showed the photos she sent to Liu Mei last time, Liu Mei had rushed home. She must have gone to deal with this matter. However, this was also good. At least she had directly cut off Huang Huiwen’s disgusting thoughts.
“Aunt Liu’s memory is really good. Is Uncle Huang feeling better? Last time, you guys left in a hurry. I was too embarra.s.sed to ask.”
Liu Mei was stunned at first, then she immediately reacted. She said to Shen Xiaoxiao, “He’s been fine for a long time. Thank you for your concern, Weiwei. But Weiwei, I would like to know, those…”
“Auntie Liu, I was the one who sent you the photo. I asked 19 to do it. If you hadn’t said that they were brother and sister, I don’t think there would have been so much trouble. I’m really sorry, Auntie Liu.”
Liu Mei felt relieved after she had received confirmation. She had always felt that something was wrong. Now that she thought about it, she finally knew what was wrong. However, it was also good that it wasn’t someone else. Otherwise, it would be a huge scandal.
However, she had accepted the favor of the other party for no reason. She just did not know what this little girl would want. However, her feelings for this little girl were really good. Therefore, the other party admitted it and she was very straightforward. She did not beat around the bush and asked directly.
“You did a good job on this matter. Aunty is grateful to you. However, this is a scandal after all, so our family has not had a good New Year. Didn’t I send your Brother Huang back to school yesterday? Only then did my heart feel a little more at ease.”
“As for that shameless girl, she won’t be able to enter our Huang family in this lifetime. On the other hand, Weiwei, I really don’t know how to thank you.”
“Aunt Liu, you don’t have to be so polite. Actually, I came here today to ask for Aunt Liu’s help.”
Shen Xiaoxiao smiled magnanimously, and her words were even more magnanimous. Liu Mei looked at her in a new light and said to Shen Xiaoxiao, “Child, why are you being so polite? Tell me. If I can help you, I will definitely help you settle it.”
Shen Xiaoxiao glanced at Liu Mei’s sincere expression. When she thought of how these two had stood up for her Shen family in her previous life and ended up in the end, her heart immediately relaxed. She naturally trusted her character and hesitated for a moment. Finally, she said it out loud:
“An old friend asked me to deliver a message to Aunt Liu: the jujube trees near the west river poles should be ripe soon. I don’t know if the jujube this year is sour or bitter.”
Liu Mei’s hand that was holding the teacup loosened with a ‘pa’ sound. The teacup fell onto the coffee table. The tea was instantly poured over the table, making a mess.
When the waiter heard the sound, he immediately came over to clean up. When everything was done, Shen Xiaoxiao looked at Liu Mei who was still in a daze.
She immediately felt a little annoyed. This Liu Mei had a bad heart. She was still a little too reckless and a little too anxious.
“Aunt Liu, Aunt Liu, are you okay?”
Liu Mei finally walked out of her memories. Looking at Shen Xiaoxiao’s concerned face, she carefully recalled it again. It was really, really similar. Now she realized that it was no wonder that when they first met, she always felt that this girl’s appearance was so familiar.
She did not expect it to be her. Was it her?
“You are? You are?”
“Aunt Liu, what’s wrong? I’m Weiwei?”
Liu Mei paused. Yes, she said that she was Lin Weiwei. She did not use Shen Xiaoxiao’s ident.i.ty, but used Lin Weiwei’s ident.i.ty. What did this mean? It meant that she did not want others to know about her ident.i.ty. Why was this? It must be because she was letting those two b*tches go.
Liu Mei reacted quickly and knew that something was not right in this place. What if there were other people around?
“Oh, right, Weiwei. Auntie was confused for a moment and let Weiwei see the joke. When it snows in winter, Auntie’s heart is always p.r.o.ne to problems. Weiwei must have been scared.”
“It’s good that Auntie Liu is fine. It’s Weiwei who was too reckless.”
“Good child, how could it be your fault? That’s right, you’re not wrong. Weiwei is so beautiful. Her eyes look like — oh, so beautiful, so big.”
Looking at the tearful look in Liu Mei’s eyes, Shen Xiaoxiao felt relieved. She knew that she must have recognized her, and she also knew her own concerns. Not only did she not blame her at all, but she even helped her hide it. This made Shen Xiaoxiao feel very uncomfortable.
“Aunt Liu, do you still like the vase from before? I found another beautiful blue and white porcelain. I’ll get someone to send it to you this afternoon.”
Vase?
Liu Mei was stunned, but her reaction was very fast. She immediately said, “Is it blue and white porcelain? You’re too polite, child. Your Uncle Huang likes blue and white porcelain, but Aunt Liu won’t accept such an expensive gift for free. How about this? I have an ancient painting. Although it’s not as valuable as blue and white porcelain, it’s still quite old. Does Weiwei like paintings?”
“Yes, I do. I’m embarra.s.sed to give Aunt Liu something, but still need Aunt Liu’s gift in return.”
“You, child, we’re friends. Only when we’re equals can we be friends.”
“Alright then. Thank you, Aunt Liu…”
…
“That’s all they said?” Liu Yufei looked at the waiter in front of her with some confusion. She knew that Lin Weiwei knew the Huang family. She must have met them somewhere in the hot spring soup pool.
But they only had one contact and they were already friends? Moreover, the Huang family had always been on bad terms with the Liu family. They were sure that the ‘protective faction’ still had some shares of the Shen family that were not much but not much.
Was Lin Weiwei’s good relations.h.i.+p with the Huang family intentional or unintentional?
…
In her previous life, the Huang family had taken the initiative to send this thing to her in order to support her. However, she had given it to the Liu family with both hands. This was really great irony.
Now, looking at the marriage contract and the jade pendant that were mixed in the ancient painting scroll, her expression finally relaxed. Back then, she did not know why her grandfather had placed this thing in the Huang family. Now, it seemed that her grandfather was really prepared for a rainy day and had a heart of gold…
