Meng Xiuyuan was not surprised at all when Lin Chujiu and Su Cha came to his place. What made him surprised was Lin Chujiuâs dress.
Although he had seen Lin Chujiu before, not dressing up like a princess, but her ident.i.ty was still there, no matter how simple she looked. However, today, she appeared dressed like a maidservant, which was very different from her usual style in Meng Xiuyuanâs impression.
In his impression, Lin Chujiu has always been a capable and neat woman. And because of her gorgeous appearance, no matter what clothes she wears, she still has this n.o.ble atmosphere. However, today, she was wearing a simple pink dress, which was not Lin Chujiuâs style.
Meng Xiuyuan was conflicted. Of course, it doesnât look ugly on her. Itâs just comparing to her style before, he doesnât think that she will wear a pink dress, but now she was wearing a soft pink dress.
âXiao w.a.n.gfei, your dress is really⦠â¦cheeky.â Meng Xiuyuan hesitated a bit before he saying his evaluation.
âIf it doesnât look good, then it doesnât look good. You donât need to be so careful.â Lin Chujiu knew that she doesnât look good in a pink dress, but she doesnât care about other peopleâs comments about her.
âItâs not ugly, Iâm just not used to it.â Meng Xiuyuan ignored Su Chaâs cold eyes and continued exchanging greetings with Lin Chujiu. Su Cha doesnât know if itâs due to a lack of speech or something, Meng Xiuyuanâs voice sounded husky and he spoke slow. Every word he uttered sounds like a loverâs low tone. Coupled with the look of Meng Xiuyuanâs eyes on Lin Chujiu, Su Cha found it unusual.
He regretted it!
If he knew that things were like this, he wouldnât come to see Meng Xiuyuan with Lin Chujiu. If Xiao Tianyao learned about this, he will break his bones and skinned him alive.
Su Cha wanted to step forward and interrupt the conversation between Meng Xiuyuan and Lin Chujiu. However, when Su Cha was about to open his mouth, the two sat down in their respective seat and no longer beat around the bush.
In this case, Su Cha, who wanted to interrupt the conversation, shut up his mouth and just sat down. Then, he held his teacup and monitor Meng Xiuyuanâs expression.
âMeng Gongzi, Iâll be honest. Iâm here to ask you for help.â Lin Chujiu said as her opening. Meng Xiuyuan didnât care at all. He put down his teacup and said: âWhatâs the matter? Xiao w.a.n.gfei, please, if I can help you, I will not refuse.â
He stayed in the capital because he was afraid that Lin Chujiu would be in danger. Although he couldnât do much, the influence of the Meng Family of Wenchang was there. There will be no problem in saving Lin Chujiuâs life at a critical time.
âI want to ask Meng Gongzi about the Zhang family of the central empire. May I know?â Lin Chujiu knew that her request was a bit too much. The central empire was very wary of the four countries. It was not easy to inquire about the central empire.
Lin Chujiu was ready to be rejected by Meng Xiuyuan, so she was ready to throw another question. However, Meng Xiuyuan replied without a second thought: âThe Zhang and Meng Familyâs status in the central empire is about the same. They are the largest existing families after the seven prestigious families. However, the Meng Family consists of scholars, while the Zhang Family are businessmen. The Zhang Family is very rich. Although they canât still be compared to the seven prestigious families, they cannot be underestimated in the central empire.â
âIn recent years, the Meng familyâs status remains the same, but the Zhang Family became more and more prosperous. There is even a tendency for them to join the upper-cla.s.s families and replace the Lin Family.â
