Huang Xiangyu looked at herself in the mirror. The more she looked at her reflection, the more she thought that she was beautiful. She muttered to herself, “I think her two brothers look pretty good. They look like those big stars on TV.”
Zhao Lan rolled her eyes and suddenly laughed out loud. She laughed so hard that she couldn’t even straighten her back.
“Mom, what’s wrong?”
“You reminded me of something. I didn’t manage to become in-laws with their family last time. But don’t we still have a chance?”
“Mom, you mean…” Huang Xiangyu was tempted too. If Sheng Yang could rise to the upper class, why couldn’t she? If what her mother said was true, then she would have her wish fulfilled and be above Sheng Yang.
“But, I’m afraid…” Huang Xiangyu hesitated. She was not a fool. How could someone with such good qualities not have high standards?
Although she was very confident in herself, it wasn’t like she didn’t know herself at all.
“What are you afraid of?” Zhao Lan glared at her. “Think about it, you’re the village belle and the only girl in the village who’s in university. Sheng Yang is from the same village as us. We don’t allow benefits to be shared with outsiders. If she doesn’t help the villagers, wouldn’t she be helping outsiders?”
“That’s true, but my relationship with Sheng Yang hasn’t been good since we were young…” Huang Xiangyu recalled all sorts of things. When they were young, she had always suppressed Sheng Yang. A year ago, Sheng Yang’s personality changed a little. Perhaps it was because she had grown up and no longer let herself be bullied by others, but every time she saw Sheng Yang, she would feel terrified. In addition, she had gone to university in the city, so the two of them didn’t have much interaction. But that didn’t mean that their relationship got any better.
“Your relationship isn’t that good, but when Sheng Yang got into a car accident a year ago…” Zhao Lan was full of confidence. “We saved her life.”
It would’ve been fine if Zhao Lan did not mention this matter, but once she did, the corners of Huang Xiangyu’s lips curled up in embarrassment. She felt that her mother was stretching it. They saved her life? It was already good that others did not find trouble with them. Forget it. Seeing that her mother was in a good mood, she did not say anything else.

If she could befriend Sheng Yang’s brothers, it would be a win-win situation.

Sheng Yuxi loitered at Grandma Liu’s house for a while. The poor lad was so restrained here that he didn’t know what to do. He was unlike Second Brother, who was alone when he was studying abroad. Hence, he could cook and do housework with ease.
Sheng Hanjing smiled and sent Sheng Yuxi out. He lied to Sheng Yuxi and told him that a certain area was much more fun, especially since there were many fortuitous encounters on the mountain.
Actually, he wanted his third brother to go out and take a look. Perhaps he could find their eldest brother, who was hidden somewhere around here. His elder brother never meant what he said, so it was likely that he was here.
Sheng Yuxi believed his words and borrowed a small basket from Grandma Liu. He was about 1.8 meters tall and carried a small basket on his back. He looked rather comical, but he was still in high spirits as he prepared to take the risk.
On the way, he met a girl wearing a crop top that revealed her small waist. The moment Huang Xiangyu saw Sheng Yuxi’s sunny and handsome face, her face immediately turned red. She did not dare to look at him at all. They were both university students, but why were those guys from her school all ugly? “Hello.”
“Hello.” Sheng Yuxi did not put on any airs and was very easy-going. After greeting her, he walked over.
Huang Xiangyu hurriedly stopped him.. “I know you’re Sheng Yang’s brother. Where are you going?”
