“I already tried to matchmake you with men, according to Mother’s wishes. I doubt I should continue introducing men to such a flawless young girl like you. Go ahead and find the man of your dreams. I’ve already done as Mother instructed. Well, it’s up to you to decide now if you’d like to look for a job or a partner of your choice. However, stop appearing in front of me. I can’t afford to provide for you,” Mei Yangyang sneered.
“Why? Are you trying to chase me away now?” Mei Shuangshuang asked, seemingly having guessed what she meant.
“I was just thinking that it’d be better not to meet again since we can’t stand the sight of each other. It’s up to you to visit Father in the future too, but I’m washing my hands off of your affairs from now on,” Mei Yangyang said frankly.
“I bet you were just brushing me off previously and setting me up with random men. There are clearly good catches who are outstanding in every aspect, yet why didn’t you set me up with them? Fancy you saying that the ones you picked are all compatible with me and my qualities. Why can’t I tell at all?”
“You’ve taken my goodwill for evil intentions. Yes, the men I’ve found are indeed way too incompatible with you, because they’re a far greater catch than you are. You don’t own a house, neither are you financially self-sufficient. Furthermore, you’ve even had many boyfriends in the past. Go ahead and be with whoever you’d like in the future. Since you said I was setting you up with men perfunctorily, I shall stop doing it altogether. You may search for a suitable partner by yourself, alright?”
“Hah… Fine, I’ll look for one myself,” Mei Shuangshuang scoffed.
“Go ahead.” Mei Yangyang then left.
Mei Shuangshuang and Mr. Mei were left alone in the room. “Why do you have to be so stubborn? I find the men with whom your sister set you up to be pretty good choices. You just have overly-high expectations. Don’t you know how inferior those boyfriends you’ve had in the past were?” Mr. Mei chided.
“I just don’t like them. But of course, I would be more than willing if she could find me someone like Brother-in-law.”
Mr. Mei was speechless. “Like what your sister said, go ahead and find another man who fits your standards. I’ll see what you can come up with.”
Although Mei Shuangshuang sounded extremely confident, she did not actually have a concrete plan.
“Father, give me some money.”
“What happened to your own?”
“I don’t have any. Didn’t I tell you long ago that I’ve already spent all the money from the sale of the house?” Mei Shuangshuang extended her arm and said, “Give me two thousand dollars.”
“I don’t have that much,” Mr. Mei said, rejecting her request.
“One thousand then.”
Mr. Mei gave her five hundred dollars and said, “Here’s your allowance for ten days. You’d better spend frugally.”
“Ten days!?!” Mei Shuangshuang exclaimed, flabbergasted. Five hundred dollars were barely enough to last her a day.
“Ten days. Go look for a job. You’re already a grown woman and you’ve squandered away all the money from the sale of the house, yet you still have the cheek to ask me for money. Have you got any shame at all?” Mr. Mei chastised.
Mei Shuangshuang returned to her room to apply some makeup and put on a short-sleeved blouse paired with a mini skirt. She then took the money and left the house, though she did not know where to go.
Thus, she decided to go to the nightclub.
Taking the five hundred dollars with her, Mei Shuangshuang ordered a glass of liquor and sipped on it quietly while watching from her seat the people dancing enthusiastically on the dance floor.
She sat by the table, scanning the crowd before her.
All of a sudden, she felt a tap on her shoulder and turned to look, only to find that it was a man with blonde hair. “Hey, gorgeous, are you alone?” he asked.
“Yeah, what’s up?” she answered, finding him to be rather good-looking.
“I’d like to buy you a drink.” He turned his head and pointed to a table not too far away before continuing to speak, “My buddy is over there. Would you like to go over and join us?”
Mei Shuangshuang looked over to see that the buddy the man was referring to turned out to be a chubby man. Thus, she immediately refused, “No thanks.”
The blonde-haired man sat down and said, “I guess I’ll have to sit here and drink with you, gorgeous.”
He waved at the waiter, who soon served the liquor. The man slid her a glass while he held another in his hand.
“Here, gorgeous, let’s toast.”
She clinked glasses with him and lamented, “I’m feeling under the weather.”
“What are you troubled about?”
“Nothing much, what’s your name?”
“Xiaozong. What about you?”
“Shuangshuang.”
He nodded and shifted his gaze onto her thigh. “Your skirt is really short, huh?”
Mei Shuangshuang tucked her hair behind her ear and winked at him while saying, “It’s intentional.”
Xiaozong chuckled and asked, “Aren’t you afraid of being taken advantage of?”
She chugged the glass of liquor in one go and slammed the glass of wine onto the table before standing up.
“Let’s dance.”
Xiaozong followed her and joined the crowd.
“What’s your occupation?” Mei Shuangshuang asked loudly, though her voice was still drowned out by the deafening electronic dance music played by the DJ.
“I’m currently helping my father out with his business. I’ll be taking over his company very soon.”
Mei Shuangshuang’s eyes glistened upon hearing his answer and probed, “What kind of a business does your family own?”
“Real estate.”
“That’s a very lucrative business.”
Xiaozong smiled and said, “It’s alright.”
Mei Shuangshuang thought to herself that Lady Luck must have been smiling at her for such a handsome man to flirt with her. Not only was he good-looking, but he was also the heir of a promising family business. Heaven must be blessing me!
She was determined to seize the rare opportunity.
Thus, she kept clinging onto Xiaozong while they were dancing.
Exhausted from dancing, they decided to have a couple more drinks before leaving the nightclub.
Xiaozong then led Mei Shuangshuang to a luxury car, which she immediately recognized to be a Mercedes-Benz.
Xiaozong took out his car keys and said to her while smiling, “Hop on.”
“Okay, sure.”
Just as Xiaozong was about to begin driving, she asked, “Aren’t you going to wait for your buddy?”
“Nah, he can go back on his own. You’re more important.” He revved up the engine and drove away from the nightclub.
“Where are we going?” Mei Shuangshuang asked awkwardly.
“Somewhere we can be free,” he answered, keeping his eyes fixed on the road ahead. He then drove toward a secluded area where human traffic was scarce.
Once he pulled over, he reached out to hold Mei Shuangshuang’s hand and said, “Shuangshuang, when I first laid my eyes on you from afar in the nightclub, you looked just like a vibrant flower. You were gorgeous. I fell in love with you at first sight.”
“I like you too,” Mei Shuangshuang said gleefully.
He reached out to lower her seat and leaned forward to kiss her.
He immediately lifted her skirt and began feeling his way up to her crotch.
Mei Shuangshuang had lost her virginity long ago.
Thus, she was extremely experienced when it came to hooking up.
She went along with him enthusiastically.
The pair transformed the car into their private enclosed space.
Mei Shuangshuang continued to exude her prowess in bed and exhibited the various skills in her repertoire. At last, she laid her head on his chest, panting heavily in exhaustion.
“How many boyfriends have you had in the past?”
“One,” Mei Shuangshuang answered.
“Just one?”
Mei Shuangshuang raised her head to look at him and said, “Yes, just one. How about you? How many girlfriends have you had?”
“I’ve only had one too.”
“What? As if I’d believe you. You were so great in bed. You must’ve had a lot of experience,” Mei Shuangshuang scoffed apprehensively.
“I really haven’t. Why would I lie to you?” he answered gently, holding her in his embrace.
Mei Shuangshuang smiled and said, “Okay.”
“Where do you live? I’ll send you home,” he asked, handing her her clothes.
“Um… I live in Wei Ni Estate,” Mei Shuangshuang answered with a grin.
