What? Big brother Chuan, did you just say a guy went shopping with Xue Meining? Is he tired of living?

Want us to skin him alive? Or beat him into a handicap?

Tang Meng stood motionless as he relived the moment where he promised Li Qingchuan that he would give the guy that was with Xue Meining hell. That confidence he showed! The threats he made! How ignorant could he have been! Now, he was experiencing the greatest headache he ever had.

So the person who went shopping with Xue Meining yesterday afternoon was none other than his new boss and future brother in law, Ling Yun!

All those ridiculously expensive branded items, those awesome mobile numbers, and that limited edition Ferrari In an instant all the dots connected within Tang Mengs mind. So that was what happened!

The only question he had remaining was how did the two of them become so intimate? By right, they were supposed to be strangers no more than a week ago. Their relationship was supposed to be as distant as the moon and the earth! At that moment, Tang Meng had a sudden revelation as he remembered a scene from a couple of days back. The scene was that of Xue Meining running together with Ling Yun on the track. So thats when everything started.

Nevertheless, how did things progress so fast?

Hundreds of thoughts were racing through Tang Mengs mind but none could give him the answer he sought. This is because even for him, communicating with Xue Meining was an ordeal. Thus, there was no way Ling Yun who only knew her for a short time could become so intimate with her.

Upon hearing Ling Yuns voice both mother and daughter stopped what they were doing and turned around. The moment Qin Qiuyue saw Ling Yun holding hands with Xue Meining and walking towards her, she merely smiles before asking, Ling Yun, who is she?

Ling Yun was just about to make introductions when Xue Meining interjected and started introducing herself.

Auntie Qin, IIm Xue Meining, Ling Yuns girlfriend

Aside from Qin Qiuyue, Ning Lingyu, and Tang Meng, even Ling Yun himself was flabbergasted by what she said!

Xue Meining is a person who seldom felt shy or embarrassed. However, at that moment, her behavior was out of the ordinary. She was holding Ling Yuns arm tightly, her delicate body sticking close to him as her head tilted and pressed against his arm. Her face was flushed as she introduced herself softly, her body language the epitome of shyness.

The reason behind her actions was partly due to the presence of Tang Meng. Thus, by making clear her relationship in front of him, she was sure this news would reach Li Qingchuan in a flash. Aside from this, Xue Meining also had a strong desire to behave that way in front of Ling Yuns mum. Even she herself did not understand why. She just felt that she had to say what she said at that moment no matter what!

Even if everything was part of an act!

Hearing that, Ning Lingyus pretty face turned pale, her snow white and neatly lined teeth biting down on her lips gently. She seemed to be in deep thought. Being quick witted and intelligent, her train of thought instantly arrived at the same conclusion as Tang Meng. So she was the one! Ning Lingyu exclaimed in her mind.

Xue Meining was just a centimeter taller than her. Her figure was on par with her own. Her legs were long and slim, giving off a shocking sense of elasticity and sexiness. Without any makeup on her face, Xue Meining complexion was snow white, her brows thin and pretty, her nose thin and sharp. She had supple lips and a pair of big round eyes. Overall, she seemed to radiate beauty as well as an air of coolness.

To think that her big brother would get a girlfriend so soon! If so, then why did he behave that way with Cao Shanshan

Seeing Xue Meining behaving so intimately with Ling Yun, sticking so close to him, Ning Lingyu felt a sense of bitterness in her heart. As if she was sulking, she threw a shopping bag she held back into the car boot in a huff.

Tang Meng, on the other hand, was speechless. What? Girlfriend? Now things were getting out of hand, and he had absolutely no intention of joining in! Just the thought of him getting sandwiched between Ling Yun, Xue Meining and Li Qingchuan, sent a chill down his spine. He was even breaking out in cold sweat just imagining it!

Qin Qiuyue expression remained unchanged as she gazes at Xue Meining as if sizing her up. She then glanced at her son, seemingly waiting for his confirmation of her claim.

Ehm, shes not officially my girlfriend, just someone I have strong feelings towards, just feelings at the moment Ling Yun replied with a bitter smile. What else was he supposed to say?

Seeing that her son had admitted it, she immediately walked forward and held Xue Meining lovingly by her hands.

Oh dear, so sorry Meining, look at that Ling Yun, not even bothering to tell me that you came over. Look at how unprepared I am! But no worries, Ling Yu and I just came back from the market and we bought quite a number of fresh ingredients. Let auntie make you some dumplings for dinner tonight!

Finishing her piece, she ordered Ling Yun to bring the shopping in while she held Xue Meinings tender hands and brought her back into the house.

How old are you this year Meining?

Almost eighteen, auntie you can just call me Little Ning

What kind of fillings do you like for dumplings? Auntie shall make those for you

Any fillings fine with me, um, but my favorite is garlic chives

My, what coincidence, Ling Yuns favorite is garlic chives too! I just bought a kilogram of fresh and tender garlic chives

Back at the entrance.

Boss, thisthisthis Tang Meng stuttered. He was at a loss on where to begin. His brain was in overdrive.

Stop your nonsensical blabbering and hurry come help carry all these stuff! Ling Yun ordered. Knowing that his fate as a scapegoat was confirmed, he was in a bad mood.

As for Ning Lingyu, she was quiet. Her expression perplexed as she watched her mother bringing Xue Meining towards the clinic. She then lowered her head and started to continue packing the things in the car boot.

Dear sister, looks like its been hectic for you these past few days!

Two luxurious cars were being parked right outside the clinic. Li Hongmei saw Xue Meining behaving intimately with Ling Yun and Qin Qiuyue acting so lovingly towards Xue Meining. Thus, after seeing the little girls flushed face, everything was as clear as the sky to Li Hongmei. Qin Qiuyues future daughter in law has arrived! My god! She even drives a Ferrari!

Even though she had never experienced such a thing before, she had seen enough dramas to know about it. Thus, unable to hold herself back, she left her counter after notifying her husband. She then walked towards the Peoples Clinic to greet her friend.

Oh, sister Hongmei! Yesterday you rejected my offer to feast on that lobster, now today Im not letting you go home! Now come and wrap some dumplings with me, I dont have enough hands to finish in time. Qin Qiuyue beamed as she spoke to Li Hongmei while holding on to Xue Meinings hand.

Sure! Sure! Huazis dad is back home today, hell watch the shop for me! But I must say dear sister whos this pretty girl. She looks so refined too!

Huazi is the name of Li Hongmeis son. Upon hearing Li Hongmeis compliments, Xue Meining lowers her head shyly, her supple lips curling up into a smile.

Oh, shes Little Ning, Ling Yuns girlfriend, it seems they are both students at Qingshui High. Qin Qiuyue answered. In such a short time, she seems to have learned a lot about Xue Meining.

In a blink of an eye, Ling Yun and gang had shifted all the shopping bags to the courtyard. At the same time, Qin Qiuyue and Li Hongmei had started busying themselves with making dinner. Initially, Xue Meining had wanted to help out with the cooking but was stopped by Qin Qiuyue. How can I let a girl help out on her first visit. Now dont worry, Auntie Qin and Auntie Li will be done soon. Just sit back and wait for your dinner!

As for Xue Meining, she let out a sigh of relief under her breath. After all, she was just putting on a show. Her stuffing dumplings? As if that would ever happen! Putting that aside, she would probably end up burning down the whole kitchen instead!

After returning to her room, Ning Lingyu took out the SIM card from her phone and changed to the mobile number Ling Yun gave her. She then left her room turning to Ling Yun and Tang Meng.

You two have a good chat, Ill be helping mum to stuff the dumplings!

Sensing that his sister was upset, Ling Yun was puzzled as to why. After a day of shopping, why was she still upset? Did Tang Meng anger her? Ling Yun thought inwardly. Hence, he glanced at Tang Meng. On the other hand, Tang Meng who had been sitting on the sofa smoking had been eyeing Ling Yun from the start. He seemed to be hesitating between whether to ask Ling Yun or not.

What do you want to say? Ling Yun asked, noticing Tang Meng fidgeting.

Boss, what I want to say is that you might have landed yourself in deep trouble! Tang Meng exclaimed as he let out a puff of smoke, his face full of worry.

Tang Meng was under the impression that Ling Yun had rented the apartment to build a love nest with Cao Shanshan. Yet to his surprise, the mistress of the apartment is actually Xue Meining! First comes Cao Shanshan with her powerful background, next comes the famous Xue Meining. To make things worse theres still Qingshui Citys richest kid, Li Qingchuan to worry about! Furthermore, he was currently burning with rage and jealousy. Just the thought of it gave Tang Meng a terrible headache.

What kind of trouble?

Ling Yun was aware that he made quite a few enemies over the past few days. However, he was still not that worried about those matters.

Ehhm Firstly, many students took pictures of your hot moment with Cao Shanshan and have uploaded it onto the schools web forum!

So? What about that?

Nothing much actually, just that the tweet on the forum was shared over 50 thousand times and retweeted over 10 thousand times overnight. After all, our school has more than 2 thousand students

Tang Meng remembered reaching home yesterday night and saw online the number of search and retweets of that incident. Seeing such an insane number of retweets and shares, he had a hard time stopping the cold sweat.

So what does that mean? Ling Yun asked as he raised his eyebrows.

What else can that mean? It means youre famous! Anyway, youll understand when you reach school tomorrow.

So whats wrong with being famous? Whats the trouble? Ling Yun asked his face confused.

Tang Meng thought in his mind. The trouble isnt here; its a thousand miles away in Beijing! If Li Qingchuan knows about this, he would surely race back for your blood.

It will surely be the confrontation of the century as well.

Not to mention, from Xue Meinings behavior just now, it seemed she had no idea about the tweet on the school forum. Furthermore, Cao Shanshan should also be unaware that Xue Meining was enjoying a meal in Ling Yuns house. Thus, if both knew about each other

It seemed to Tang Meng that his boss was simply too greedy. Even the Little Gambling God could no longer do anything to help. Besides, now, Tang Meng just wanted to stay as far away as possible lest he was caught in the crossfire.

In the courtyard, Ning Lingyu and Xue Meining walked past each other as one left as the other enters the kitchen. Even though they seldom greeted each other, they both knew who the other was.

One was the undeniable campus belle in Qingshui high while the other was one of the most famous potential candidates to become it after Ning Lingyu and Cao Shanshan graduate. Hence, there was no way they did not know one another.

Sister Lingyu. Xue Meining greeted Ning Lingyu politely.

Hi, my brothers back in the house, go have fun. Ill be helping my mum.

As upset as she was, she was not unkind enough to ignore Xue Meinings greetings. After all, she was still her brothers girlfriend and it was her first visit.

Okay! Xue Meining replied, nodding her head happily.

As both walked past one another, both could not help but praise one another in their hearts.

Shes really beautiful!
