196 Old Cow Eating Young Gra.s.s
Seeing that Xiang Yin revealed a rare emotion, Xiang Li immediately asked, “There’s something wrong with your expression! Who are you chatting with?”
“A friend.”
“I know them?”
Xiang Yin’s eyes flickered. “Mm.”
Gu Man’s figure flashed in Xiang Li’s mind. She asked tentatively, “Gu Man?”
Xiang Yin glanced at Xiang Li and said calmly, “You asked me this?”
Xiang Li sighed. She knew that she could no longer get anything out of Xiang Yin, so she said helplessly, “Lan Meng is coming to Han City next Sat.u.r.day. Go to the airport to pick her up.”
Xiang Yin asked calmly, “Why did she come to Han City?”
Xiang Li said angrily, “Have you forgotten your sister’s birthday next Sunday?”
“Oh.” Xiang Yin seemed to have suddenly remembered. “Then why don’t you send someone to pick her up? I’m not free.”
“You and Lanmeng have known each other since you were young. It’s not easy for her to come to Han City. It’s not too much for you to take some time off to pick her up, right?”
“It’s not a matter of going overboard. It’s not like no one picked her up. There’s no need for me to pick her up,” Xiang Yin said calmly.
Seeing her brother’s cold expression, Xiang Li couldn’t help but feel discouraged. She asked directly, “Do you have a problem with Lan Meng? Lan Meng has been longing for you to pick her up.”
“No objections. I treat her like a sister, but if she has other thoughts, I have to avoid her.”
Xiang Yin and Lan Meng were childhood sweethearts of equal social status, but Xiang Yin had no feelings for her. He could also vaguely tell what Lan Meng was thinking, so he usually avoided her as much as he could. If he couldn’t avoid her, he treated her like they were brother and sister. Unexpectedly, after so many years, Lan Meng still didn’t give up.
He had not fallen in love with her for so many years. How could she pray that he would suddenly fall in love with her?
“Sigh, I really don’t understand you. Lan Meng is good-looking, has a good personality, and is multi-talented. Her family background is also comparable to ours. Why don’t you like her?”
Xiang Li couldn’t help but sigh. Lan Meng was the number one socialite in the capital’s Chu City. She was also an internationally famous jewelry designer who had established her own jewelry brand. Apart from being knowledgeable in jewelry, she was also slightly accomplished in literature, painting, dancing, and vocal music. Moreover, her looks were one of the best in Zhong Chu City.
But this kid actually looked down on such a person who seemed almost perfect to outsiders.
Xiang Li was about to vomit blood.
“If you like someone, it’s not like you’re looking at these things.”
Xiang Yin did not care. Although he did not quite understand what true love was, he knew how he felt. He felt that it was love when his heart flutters.
“Although our family doesn’t have to require their family to be of equal status, at least we have more topics to talk about if we’re of equal status. There won’t be any estrangement,” Xiang Li persuaded earnestly.
“But my topic isn’t jewelry or singing or dancing.”
Xiang Yin’s words choked Xiang Li.
“Then you like Gu Man?” Xiang Li suddenly asked.
Xiang Yin’s eyes moved. He suddenly did not know how to answer Xiang Li. He and Gu Man were like friends now, or rather, he had these thoughts unilaterally.
Xiang Li saw that Xiang Yin was silent. How could she not understand? She sighed and said, “But she’s still a high school student. Mom won’t let you delay for so long.”
“Gu Man will go to Zhong Chu University after the college entrance examination. No problem.”
Xiang Li looked at Xiang Yin and said angrily, “Aren’t you afraid that others will say that you’re an old cow eating young gra.s.s?”
Xiang Yin raised his eyebrows. “I’m okay.”
Xiang Li had already given up. She rolled her eyes at Xiang Yin, but she still reminded him, “I can’t control you anymore. Mom will definitely ask you again recently. Think about how to reply.”
“I know.” Xiang Yin stood up. “Sister, if there’s nothing else, I’ll get going.”
Xiang Li no longer wanted to speak. She waved her hand and asked Xiang Yin to leave quickly.
As soon as Xiang Yin left, Bai Yun came up to him. “Why is your sister looking for you?”
Xiang Yin glanced at Bai Yun and said calmly, “Do you want her to look for you?”
Bai Yun immediately shook his head. “You should keep it.”
Xiang Yin suddenly stopped in his tracks and looked at Bai Yun. He thought to himself, That’s right. Lan Meng is also very compatible with this guy. I’ll remind Big Sister next time.
Bai Yun felt his hair stand on end from Xiang Yin’s gaze. His intuition told him that nothing good was going to happen. Moreover, what was with the glint in Xiang Yin’s eyes?
