Chapter 268 I am her suitor
Upon hearing someone's suggestion, Xie Junchen's eyes lit up, but he quickly became discouraged again.
What if she agrees to your proposal?
Hai Qingfeng: "Believe me, with your shamelessness, there's an 80% chance she won't refuse, so don't worry about it."
Xie Junchen nodded. "Let's take a look."
Hai Qingfeng looked at him with a disappointed expression and patted his shoulder heavily.
"Brother, the day after tomorrow is your grandmother's birthday. Seize the opportunity; maybe what you two are doing will turn out to be real."
Hai Qingfeng couldn't help but worry about this naive young master. If it were him, he could easily win over several Miss Songs.
Not to mention it's just one.
Xie Junchen ignored his mournful gaze and turned his head to notice a familiar figure downstairs—it was Song Shuyue.
Why is she here?
Xie Junchen suddenly stood up, startling Hai Qingfeng, who was still rambling on. Hai Qingfeng instinctively reached out and covered his head, wondering if this guy was angry and wanted to beat him up.
Xie Junchen glanced at it disdainfully and strode away.
Just as Hai Qingfeng was about to ask him where he was going, she saw Huo Xiaoyu.
Suddenly, her eyes widened in disbelief as she leaned down. It really was her; the person next to her was Song Shuyue.
Seeing Huo Xiaoyu surrounded by two women, Hai Qingfeng ran even faster than Xie Junchen, and immediately pointed menacingly at the two men beside her.
He shouted angrily, "Huo Xiaoyu! What are you doing? You two shameless mistresses, daring to seduce my woman, get out of here right now!"
Seeing Hai Qingfeng's imposing manner, the two assumed he was Huo Xiaoyu's husband and turned away in fear.
Enraged, Huo Xiaoyu reached out and slapped him hard across the face.
"Hai Qingfeng, are you fucking crazy? If you're sick, go to a mental hospital. What are you doing cursing at me?"
For no reason at all, she cursed away the two young men she had finally gotten to know.
This person is really crazy.
Hai Qingfeng held his breath, neither able to calm down nor back down, and glared fiercely at her.
"Huo Xiaoyu! I'm not sick. Do you remember what you promised me?"
Hai Qingfeng gritted her teeth. It was clearly she who went back on her word and broke her promise first, yet she acted as if it were perfectly reasonable and justified.
She should be looking guilty right now.
Huo Xiaoyu snorted coldly and rolled her eyes at him, as if mocking his naivety.
"Hai Qingfeng, you're not a three-year-old. You believe what women say in bed? You idiot."
"You!" Hai Qingfeng's eyes were bloodshot, and he wished he could tear Huo Xiaoyu to pieces.
This woman is really something...
"Huo Xiaoyu, would you die without a man?" Hai Qingfeng said after a long pause, her anger churning within her.
Naively thinking that Huo Xiaoyu would be furious, she surprisingly admitted it frankly.
Huo Xiaoyu smiled and said lightly, "I won't die, but I'll be unhappy. Life should be lived in your heart, understand? Besides, what's wrong with me playing around with men? You're allowed to play around, but I'm not allowed to be happy? What kind of bullshit logic is that?"
"You! You are utterly shameless."
Huo Xiaoyu: "Likewise, Hai Qingfeng. You don't really think that just because you slept with me for one night, you have the right to criticize me, do you? That's wishful thinking."
Hai Qingfeng wished he could stare into a hole and trap her inside.
"Ah! Hai Qingfeng, what are you doing? Are you crazy? Put me down right now, you bastard, you bastard."
Hai Qingfeng simply carried Huo Xiaoyu away.
Song Shuyue did not stop her, because Huo Xiaoyu had just been talking about Hai Qingfeng, and she was saying some very offensive things.
Questions like "What technology is good?"
So she should be in a good mood now. Song Shuyue glanced over and saw Huo Xiaoyu waving at her. A message came through her phone, saying sorry.
Song Shuyue knew that her apology had two meanings.
The first layer is about Gu Xiaoxiao's matter.
The second layer is to leave her alone.
The story about Gu Xiaoxiao begins fifteen minutes ago.
The three of them came together to have fun. She didn't drink; she just kept them company.
Gu Xiaoxiao and Huo Xiaoyu were both very excited today.
Gu Xiaoxiao is getting married and invited Huo Xiaoyu to be her bridesmaid, but she didn't respond. Gu Xiaoxiao could only ask Huo Xiaoyu to be her bridesmaid. Huo Xiaoyu was happier than a bird in the sky when she found out she was going to be a bridesmaid.
He dragged Gu Xiaoxiao to the bar to relax.
The two discussed their views on love.
Gu Xiaoxiao is a devoted couple for life, and their love will last forever.
Huo Xiaoyu, on the other hand, lived for the moment, passing through a sea of women without ever getting attached to them.
There was no argument at first, but it started when Gu Xiaoshuo mentioned that her boyfriend was being very dismissive of her.
Huo Xiaoyu began to analyze Gu Xiaoxiao's boyfriend and concluded that he was not someone she could entrust her life to.
The result was obvious: Gu Xiaoxiao scolded her for being improper, saying that a girl like her didn't know propriety and shame.
Huo Xiaoyu scolded her for being love-struck and said she would regret it sooner or later and pay a heavy price.
Song Shuyue disapproved of Gu Xiaoxiao's marriage, but she couldn't stop her. Gu Xiaoxiao was determined and wouldn't give up until she hit a wall.
Sometimes people are like that; they know many of the outcomes, but they pretend to be indifferent and get caught up in their own beautiful fantasies about love.
Only that sharp blade pierced deeply into her heart.
Only then will you know if it hurts or not.
"Yueyue, Huo Xiaoyu and Hai Qingfeng should be fine, so you don't need to worry too much."
Song Shuyue was in a daze when Xie Junchen's words startled her. "What are you doing here?"
Xie Junchen: "I came with Hai Qingfeng, and we just happened to run into you."
Song Shuyue looked away, paid the money, and got up to leave.
Xie Junchen followed her out, silently warning those people with his eyes.
"Yueyue, there's something I want to tell you."
Song Shuyue asked directly, "Speak! Get to the point!"
Xie Junchen: "......" Wasn't he even given a chance to exchange a polite word?
"I need your help."
Song Shuyue looked up at him this time, "What kind of help?"
Xie Junchen took a deep breath, recalling the idea Hai Qingfeng had given him. He felt very uncertain; if he made such a request, she would either agree or think he was frivolous.
"The day after tomorrow is my grandmother's 90th birthday. The thing she's been telling me most these past few years is to find a girlfriend. I don't want to upset her on her birthday, so I'd like to ask you..."
Song Shuyue understood. "You want me to pretend to be your girlfriend?"
Xie Junchen nodded quickly, his eyes shining with anticipation.
"May I?"
Song Shuyue lowered her head and hesitated. She owed him a favor, so she should agree in principle.
Song Shuyue still expressed her thoughts.
"Xie Junchen, I think you should tell the truth. Pretending is only temporary. You should know that if she finds out the truth one day, the consequences will be much worse than not having a girlfriend. The truth will eventually come out. You should understand such a simple principle."
Xie Junchen lowered his eyes in disappointment. "I know, I just wanted to make her happy."
Song Shuyue: "Logically, I shouldn't refuse you because I owe you two favors, but I don't want to lie to people with you, so I won't agree to this."
Xie Junchen took a deep breath. "I understand, Yueyue."
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, he stared intently at Song Shuyue.
"What if we don't need a fake one? If I were your suitor, I would say that I already have someone I like, and that we are friends. I would take you with me and tell my grandma that you are the person I like, but you don't like me. I am trying to win you over, and they would give up on pressuring me to get married. What do you think?"
Song Shuyue frowned. Now that she said that, it seemed like she hadn't lost anything.
"But aren't you very concerned about your reputation? If your future wife finds out that you used to like me, wouldn't it be difficult for you to explain? Or is it that you did like me?"
Song Shuyue narrowed her sharp eyes, scrutinizing him with a dangerous and serious gaze.
Xie Junchen felt as if he had thorns in his back; his muscles tensed, and he was filled with panic and confusion.
He forced a smile and said, "Yueyue, it's only a possibility. I don't like you. Don't worry, I'm just being pressured by them to go on blind dates and get married. Only my grandmother knows that I'm pursuing you, so there's no issue of reputation."
Xie Junchen's explanation was very sincere.
Song Shuyue didn't sense anything suspicious.
Was she Xie Junchen's maternal grandmother?
The Mo family is ranked second among the top ten families in Beijing.
It would be nice to get to know them. I wonder if Song Yanbai and the others have received an invitation.
"I'll think about it. If I show up the night after tomorrow, it means I can help you with this and repay the favor."
After all, it's not something too difficult.
There's still a great opportunity waiting for her at the Mo family; there's a 90% chance she'll go.
Xie Junchen was overjoyed and reached out to take her hand. "Thank you, thank you, Yueyue, thank you so much."
Song Shuyue withdrew her hand in disgust and wiped it on her clothes.
Xie Junchen seemed oblivious and continued to grin foolishly.
"Don't get too excited yet, I'm just saying I'm hesitant."
Xie Junchen: "Then I must thank you for your hesitation."
Song Shuyue: "...Get out of the way, I'm leaving."
Do you need me to give you a ride?
"No, I don't have any money."
Xie Junchen: "......" Can't I just leave your fare waived this time?
On the other side, Huo Xiaoyu was so uncomfortable from Hai Qingfeng's torment that she kicked him off the bed.
"Damn it, if you don't know how, then give it to me, it hurts like hell."
"Huo Xiaoyu, who do you think you are? I can do anything! You just don't know how to enjoy yourself."
Huo Xiaoyu pulled the sheet up and was about to get out of bed when she said, "Get out of here, I'm not interested."
Hai Qingfeng suddenly pounced on him, "Huo Xiaoyu, I'll show you what it means to not underestimate a boy."
**
The old lady of the Mo family celebrated her 90th birthday in a low-key manner, but basically everyone in the circle attended, and the Song family was naturally among those invited.
Song Yanbai made his entrance with Song Shuyue. Song Shuyue didn't want to be too high-profile, so she walked behind everyone else, leaving Song Yanbai to bear all the attention.
"Yueyue, don't run around. This Mo Family Manor is as big as a maze."
Song Shuyue: "Okay, go ahead."
Song Yanbai needs to greet business leaders from various industries, so he can't be by Song Shuyue's side all the time.
When Song Shuyue saw the floor plan of the entire house, she suddenly realized why the Shen family manor was described as a maze.
Its area is so large that it is even larger than the palaces of ancient princes.
Luckily, we drove in; if we had walked, it would probably have taken three or four hours to get to the main hall.
It was magnificent and resplendent, exuding extravagance and prosperity.
What a generous act.
"Yueyue."
Xie Junchen recognized the retro-styled, beautiful white figure at a glance.
This dress is simple yet gives off an ethereal, fairy-like vibe.
It's so beautiful.
