CHAPTER 1252: CHAPTER 245: BLESSING OR CURSE, SOBER AND CRUEL_6

"You’re quite interesting," the woman said with a laugh, her stunning eyes capturing Ling Danxiao.

Though her beauty was quite cliché, Ling Danxiao was still smitten, showing a big toothy grin: "Can I take it as a compliment?"

The woman shook her head, smiling: "What do you think?"

"I feel like we met in a previous life, beautiful lady. Can you tell me your name?"

Take it step by step; being too eager might scare the beauty away.

The beauty gracefully left, looking back with a smile, her hair fluttering, captivating Ling Danxiao’s heart and soul.

"If fate allows, you’ll know my name sooner or later." With that, she elegantly walked away.

As though his soul followed the beauty away, he stood there in a daze, recalling her last words. Energy surged back through him as he adjusted his gelled hair: "I will find out who you are sooner or later."

Meng Junci and Huo Chanyi got out of the car, naturally witnessing everything. Looking toward where the woman left, Meng Junci asked: "Who is that woman?"

Huo Chanyi thought for a moment and said: "She should be the illegitimate daughter of the Xiao Family." Xiao Zisu is quite famous nowadays in Country Hua.

Meng Junci frowned at the remark: "Such a disgrace." Flirting openly with Ling Danxiao, would a proper lady do such a thing?

"She doesn’t have the family’s protection, and her only support is now in trouble, so she has to fend for herself." Huo Chanyi understood Xiao Zisu.

Meng Junci gave her a look: "You really thought for her, didn’t you?"

Huo Chanyi softly said, "She can’t choose her identity, but can’t she choose how to live her life?"

"If one day your dad suddenly brought out an illegitimate daughter, let’s see if you can still understand her," Meng Junci mocked.

Huo Chanyi knitted her brows slightly, noticing that Ah Ci had changed a lot recently. The old Ah Ci, although a bit temperamental, was kind-hearted and innocent. But now, she clearly felt that Ah Ci had become selfish.

"No, my dad wouldn’t do such a thing," Huo Chanyi said.

"Don’t be so sure. It was once said that Xiao Baokang and his wife were deeply in love, making many envious, but now... hehe, Lady Xiao has become a laughingstock."

"Ah Ci," Huo Chanyi frowned at her: "What exactly are you planning?"

She had asked Ying Chen, but Ying Chen had accepted Meng Junci’s money and wouldn’t disclose anything to her. She had no idea what Ah Ci wanted to do.

Meng Junci pursed her lips and walked away: "What do you mean by what I want to do, I don’t know what you’re talking about."

She used to share everything with Huo Chanyi, but now she kept things from her. It wasn’t intentional; she just didn’t want Chanyi to see another side of her, the malicious, despicable side.

Huo Chanyi quickly followed, feeling a bit disappointed, realizing Ah Ci lied.

After taking a couple of steps, Meng Junci suddenly said: "Chanyi, do you know why I initially liked Yan Ke?"

Huo Chanyi didn’t understand why she suddenly brought this up but still replied earnestly: "You’ve told me, because he saved you when you were a child..."

Meng Junci shook her head with a bitter smile: "Wrong... everything was wrong."

"What was wrong?" Huo Chanyi pressed on.

Meng Junci just shook her head and said no more.

Huo Chanyi felt a bit uneasy: "Ah Ci, if you have anything, you must tell me, don’t keep it to yourself. Have you forgotten we’re best friends who share everything?"

"I know...." But I can’t control myself anymore.

Huo Chanyi suddenly pointed in a direction, eyes bright: "Ah Ci, look, isn’t that your brother?"

Meng Junci frowned and looked over. A young man stepped out of a van, who could it be if not her brother.

A Mitsubishi van, even her family’s grocery vehicle was better than this. Her brother was really... Meng Junci was speechless.

Meng Jungu also saw Meng Junci, walking over with a smile: "Little sister, you’re here too."

Meng Junci frowned at him, her tone sharp: "What are you doing here?"

Back when he was young, her brother adored her, but he became more rebellious over time, angering their parents and inviting ridicule towards their mother. Since then, she didn’t like her brother much and hated appearing at the same event.

Meng Jungu was unfazed by her tone, smiling: "If you can be here, why can’t I? Little sister, you look lovely today. Yan Ke isn’t here, is he?" He glanced around as he spoke.
