In any case, the news that the young lady of the Green Gang was the missing child of the Qu family had covered up the news of the downfall of the Lu family.
Recently, the people of the Qu family had been rather busy wherever they went. They would all be caught and asked a few questions about the young lady of the Green Gang, Chen Meng’er. Moreover, if it wasn’t for the fact that they really didn’t have the guts to go, they would have charged straight into the Green Gang to find out what Chen Meng’er looked like.
However, these few days, Chen Meng’er could be considered to have become the topic of discussion among the upper class circles in the capital.
As Chen Meng’er stayed in the Green Gang and didn’t go out, she heard Zhou Yunjie, Zhuge Yu, and the others bring back all sorts of topics to talk about her.
Moreover, to Chen Meng’er’s surprise, the hottest topic recently was Chen Meng’er’s future marriage partner. What kind of person would she find? Their family background and character should be worthy of Chen Meng’er. Some noblewomen probably even helped to make a list.
Just two days ago, Elder Qu was in a bad mood. Now, he was holding the list in high spirits and arguing with Elder Liu. “Qiu Kaifeng from the Qiu family is not bad. He is also a good-looking person. I heard that he was sent into the army by Elder Qiu recently. He should be able to match my Meng’er when he comes out of the army. The most important thing is that the Qiu family are good people. There are no dirty matters in the family. This kid from the Su family is not bad. However, the Su family is too messy. If Meng’er enters the Su family, her days will be too tiring. Of course, the people from the Su family don’t have the guts to bully my Meng’er.” Elder Qu actually began to analyze each and every one of them.
Qiu Kaifeng and Su Jinming, who were called out by him, sneezed countless times.
“I don’t think much. I see that these people don’t exercise much. I reckon Meng’er can beat them to the ground with just her little finger.” Elder Liu said with a look of disdain.
On the other side, Fatty, Skinny, Zhuge Yu, and Ah Biao were holding a piece of paper and talking excitedly. “This won’t do. With his looks, he doesn’t match our little miss at all.”
“What about him?”
“He’s alright. But, no matter how I look at it, he’s not as good as our Yunjie.”
Chen Meng’er was in Elder Qu’s presence, and Elder Liu was getting tired of listening. He turned his head and heard Fatty and the others talking about Chen Meng’er. Now, for the first time, she realized that it wasn’t just the noblewomen in the capital who were gossiping. In fact, the members of the Green Gang were also gossiping.
“Everyone, speaking of which, how old am I? Don’t you think it’s a little too early to be talking about this? Moreover, in the future, the other half will have to be chosen by me no matter what.” Chen Meng’er saw that if she didn’t speak up to stop them, the more they talked, the more outrageous the crowd became. They couldn’t help but speak up.
Once Chen Meng’er spoke, everyone stopped and looked up at Chen Meng’er. Just as Chen Meng’er heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that the topic was over, Fatty’s loud voice was heard. “Little Miss, are you still thinking about that kid, Yuwen Jing?”
“Don’t tell me that Yuwen Jing’s name isn’t on the list that they’ve drawn up.” Ah Biao also stepped forward.
Fatty and Ah Biao had just finished talking, but Chen Meng’er didn’t have any reaction. Zhuge Yu and Skinny both slapped Fatty and Ah Biao hard. “You two are really bringing up the pot that doesn’t boil. Go sit somewhere else.” Obviously, although Skinny and Zhuge Yu talked about Fatty and Ah Biao, they had the same thoughts as Fatty and Ah Biao. Their little miss was still thinking about Yuwen Jing in her heart.
Even Elder Qu and Elder Liu were looking at Chen Meng’er with worried eyes.
Chen Meng’er didn’t know whether to laugh or cry when everyone looked at her. “What kind of eyes are those? I’ve never said that before. I just feel that I’m still young and it’s a little too early to talk about this. It’s not that I’ve already decided on a certain person in my heart.” This was Chen Meng’er’s true words. It was a thought that she had come up with after a few days of careful consideration.
She felt that the current her might not be suitable to talk about love. It wasn’t that she was young, but she realized that her feelings for Yuwen Jing were affected by too many factors from her previous life. Before she could figure out whether she really liked the current Yuwen Jing, or if she only liked Yuwen Jing because she had too deep of an impression of him from her previous life, she didn’t want to settle down with her other half too early.
In fact, Chen Meng’er did not realize that in her heart, there was still a place for Yuwen Jing.
After Elder Qu, Elder Liu, Zhuge Yu, and the others heard Chen Meng’er’s words, their hearts that had been worried all this time could be considered to be at ease. These few days, they had been worried that Chen Meng’er would hurt Yuwen Jing’s heart by doing something. But now, after listening to Chen Meng’er’s words, they could be at ease.
Elder Qu and the others could be at ease, but Yuwen Jing had not been having an easy time during this period of time.
His grandfather, Yuwen Hou, called him every few days to ask about his current situation with Chen Meng’er, followed by a long lecture. This caused Yuwen Jing, who was already feeling frustrated because Chen Meng’er ignored him, to feel even worse.
As a result, the air pressure in the Buyano family’s office in the capital had been very low during this period of time. The employees inside were careful every day and didn’t dare even breathe loudly. As for those women who were infatuated with Yuwen Jing, they would stay as far away from him as possible. Right now, they didn’t dare think about Yuwen Jing at all.
Baro looked at Yuwen Jing, who was sitting in front of the office desk and emitting a cold aura. He really wanted to find an excuse to quickly slip away. He didn’t want his master to vent his anger on him later.
When Baro received the ranking list given to his mistress by the noblewomen of the capital, he cursed in his heart more than once. Why didn’t they go shopping and drink afternoon tea? Why did they make such a list?
Also, if they say they want to make a ranking list, then they could go ahead. Why did they just leave out his master’s name? His master is a perfect match for his mistress!
