"There are so many villas, such big houses, but your mother lives alone?" Liu Xun looked at the villa complex in front of him and sighed in his heart that rich people are different.
"Cough" As soon as Liu Xun finished speaking, Li Mengyao coughed lightly. Seeing this, Liu Xun was also stunned and stopped talking.
As Liu Xun spoke, Chen Mengxi frowned, looked at Liu Xun with great annoyance, snorted coldly, and walked towards the villa alone.
After Chen Mengxi walked a certain distance away, Li Mengyao said softly: "Mengxi's mother passed away five years ago, so..."
"I'm too abrupt. I should have thought of it earlier." Liu Xun shook his head and smiled. He should have thought of it earlier. After all, Chen Mengxi had never mentioned her mother in the few days since they came to S City, and Liu Xun had never seen her either. With a little thought, he could figure out the reason.
When he entered the villa, Liu Xun found that Chen Jiancheng had arrived a long time ago. Moreover, every room in the villa was cleaned by someone. The labor cost alone was a considerable expense.
"Uncle." Li Mengyao and Liu Xun shouted at the same time. When the words fell, they were both stunned. Li Mengyao also smiled and said no more.
Chen Jiancheng nodded and said to Liu Xun: "Liu Xun, Mengxi lost her mother when she was young, so she is a little spoiled. You should take more responsibility and give in to her. This child is not a bad person by nature. She will know if you treat her well sooner or later."
"Don't worry, uncle." Liu Xun nodded and said softly, but he sighed in his heart. He and Chen Mengxi only had a contractual relationship. He would go home after tomorrow. What's the point of talking about responsibility!
Although he thought so in his heart, he couldn't say it out loud. It was also to reassure Chen Jiancheng, or perhaps because he heard that Chen Mengxi lost her mother at an early age and felt sympathy.
"Mengyao, you can stay here tonight. The military area is quite far from here, so we can save ourselves the trouble of traveling back and forth." Chen Jiancheng said with a chuckle as he looked at Li Mengyao.
"I must live here. Oil is so expensive now! Even if my uncle drives me away, I won't leave, hehe..." Li Mengyao has been familiar with the Chen family for a long time, so she definitely doesn't have the same sense of restraint as Liu Xun.
"Then Mengyao and Mengxi can sleep in the same room tonight, and Liu Xun can just be reluctant and sleep in the guest room." Chen Mengxi had just come in, and the angry expression on her face was naturally seen clearly by Chen Jiancheng.
So Chen Jiancheng thought that the young couple had a quarrel again, but Chen Jiancheng did not intend to blame Liu Xun. After all, Chen Jiancheng knew his daughter's temper best.
"Then thank you for your help, uncle." In fact, even if Chen Jiancheng did not make such arrangements, Liu Xun would definitely stay in the guest room. Otherwise, if he had to act out a scene where a man and a woman were alone in the same room, he would really explode and die.
After dinner, Liu Xun returned to his room early. He was tired after a whole day and he didn't sleep well last night, so he lay on the bed and fell asleep.
When he woke up in the morning, Liu Xun found a new suit on the bedside. He chuckled and put it on. He knew that this was prepared by Chen Jiancheng for him. After all, celebrities from all walks of life would come to Chen Mengxi's birthday party, and it would not be good to wear a suit that was too shabby.
"No morning jog today. Let's do 500 push-ups first." About ten minutes later, Liu Xun finished his push-ups and began to wash up. When everything was ready, it was already bright.
"They came so early. These guys probably wouldn't be so hardworking even if it was New Year's Day at home." Outside the villa, there were densely packed luxury cars, but Liu Xun knew that if it weren't for Chen Jiancheng, they would not have come so early.
When Liu Xun came out, the square, which was as big as a football field, was already filled with celebrities from all walks of life. When they saw Liu Xun, some of them immediately came to shake hands with Liu Xun and said all kinds of flattering words.
"Boss Chen, this young man with extraordinary temperament, like a dormant dragon awakened, must be your son-in-law!" A company boss next to Chen Jiancheng said in a very flattering manner.
Although the names of Liu Xun were unknown to celebrities, everyone knew that Chen Mengxi had a boyfriend. Everyone present was a smart person and could naturally tell Liu Xun's identity.
Liu Xun really didn't feel any of the flattery he heard around him, and even had a faint feeling of disgust in his heart, but he had no choice, because this was the nature of society, and everyone was wearing a hypocritical mask.
"Mr. Xun, I haven't seen you for a few days, but you are still as charming and elegant as ever." At this moment, Cheng Tianlin got out of the car, ran straight to Liu Xun, and shook Liu Xun's hand cordially, just like two good friends who had not seen each other for many years.
"Mr. Cheng, you are too polite. Compared with Mr. Cheng, Liu Xun is nothing." Liu Xun felt more and more that Cheng Tianlin was not simple. Cheng Tianlin must have known that he had instigated the assassination of Liu Xun but failed. But when they met this time, he did not reveal any flaws. He was a difficult character.
"Haha... Young Master Xun is so modest." Cheng Tianlin smiled softly, then called over several young men around him, pointed at Liu Xun and said, "See? This is the Young Master Xun I told you about, definitely the future number one prodigy in the business world!"
"Hello, Young Master Xun. I hope you can promote me more in the future." The young men nodded repeatedly to Liu Xun and said flattering words, but there was an unnatural look of disdain in their eyes when they looked at Liu Xun. After all, in their eyes, no matter what, Liu Xun was just a son-in-law.
At this time, the older generation was being polite with Chen Jiancheng, the new generation was flattering Liu Xun, and those so-called socialites were whispering with Chen Mengxi and Li Mengyao.
"When will your daughter get engaged?" a celebrity asked Chen Jiancheng casually. Chen Jiancheng smiled softly and said perfunctorily, "Let the children decide their own affairs. We old people should not worry about these troublesome matters."
After these words were spoken, the minds of the celebrities were clear as a mirror. It seemed that Chen Jiancheng himself had not made up his mind. But compared to Chen Jiancheng, although he had a good impression of Liu Xun at the moment, it was not good enough to regard him as his son-in-law.
"Mengxi, why do you like him? I really don't see what's so outstanding about your prince charming." A socialite looked at Chen Mengxi in confusion.
"Yeah, he has an average look and figure, and if it weren't for you, we would never have heard of this Liu Xun." A socialite asked in confusion.
"Maybe it's because... he's stronger in that aspect!" When these words fell, celebrities from all walks of life laughed, but Chen Mengxi's face also turned gloomy.
"That's enough, stop making fun of me." Chen Mengxi shouted and stopped talking. Although she could predict that many people would make a fuss about Liu Xun today, she didn't expect it to come so soon.
Seeing that Chen Mengxi was angry, the socialites around her looked at each other and changed the subject. After all, they couldn't afford to offend Chen Mengxi.
Celebrities from all walks of life gathered together, and Chen Jiancheng was also preparing to start the party, but at this moment, a helicopter suddenly appeared. The sudden appearance of the helicopter also attracted the attention of celebrities from all walks of life.
"Who is it? Such a big show?" Questioning voices were heard from the crowd.
"Except for that kid from the Situ family, I really can't think of anyone else who dares to be so arrogant in S City." Chen Jiancheng said with a chuckle as he looked at the helicopter slowly landing in the air.
The helicopter landed on the ground, and a young man dressed in black walked out of it. He held a gift box in his hand and handed it to the Chen family's housekeeper, then said: "My family's Master Feng asked me to come and wish the eldest lady a happy birthday. It's a small gift, I hope you will accept it."
"Then thank Situ Feng for me." Chen Jiancheng nodded and smiled, and said casually. When Situ Feng's three words rang out, the celebrities and socialites from all walks of life around him were all shocked.
"Situ Feng? Where is Situ Feng? Why didn't he come?" Although some celebrities had never seen Situ Feng, they had already regarded him as their prince charming and immediately looked for him all over the world.
"I'm sorry, my master Feng is very busy with his work and I'm too lazy to come in person for such a small matter. I hope you can forgive me." The young man in black sneered, boarded the helicopter, and then left.
After these words were spoken, all the celebrities present changed color, but no one dared to speak. If ordinary people heard these words, they would think that Situ Feng was arrogant and conceited, but to the ears of these shrewd people, they did not think so, because Situ Feng's methods were enough to make all the celebrities present tremble with fear.
"As expected of Master Feng's style of doing things, it leaves us with nothing but sighs in despair." Cheng Tianlin said softly with a smile on his face.
"That's right, Young Master Feng is the future's number one prodigy in the business world. He is unprecedented and will never be surpassed." Some young talents immediately flattered him.
Liu Xun really couldn't bear to listen to it anymore and prepared to go back to his room, because this kind of party was just as Situ Feng said, this hypocritical world of celebrities, Liu Xun was disdainful to associate with it.
Since Situ Feng started giving gifts, celebrities from all walks of life also took out their own gifts. The worst one was worth no less than one million RMB. It was only then that Liu Xun secretly said "Oh no".
Because he didn't prepare any gifts at all, in less than ten minutes, celebrities from all walks of life and everyone present handed in their gifts, leaving Liu Xun alone standing there.
"Mr. Xun, you are the finale, so quickly show us your gift." After Cheng Tianlin gave a look, a young talent suddenly spoke loudly.
"Your sister..." Liu Xun cursed in his heart. He was not a saint, he also had to save face, but at this moment, where could he prepare a gift? Even if he had time to prepare, where would he have the money to buy such an expensive thing
At this moment, all eyes were focused on Liu Xun, even Chen Mengxi looked at Liu Xun, because she really didn't know what gift Liu Xun had prepared for her.
Faintly, a hint of expectation also appeared in Chen Mengxi's heart... (To be continued)
