CHAPTER 897: CHAPTER 897

Rumble...

Gao Mei’s mind was filled with the sound of thunder.

Oh my God, she thought her precious daughter was just joking, but she had actually gone through with it, not only agreeing to follow Xu Qianli but also sitting on his lap and offering him a passionate kiss.

This girl had never been with a man before, and this was probably her first kiss. Xu Qianli really benefited from this, too much.

Although she knew Xu Qianli was quite impressive in some ways, her precious daughter Zhu Yue was meeting him for the first time. How could she immediately follow him and even give him a kiss, showing that she was determined to be with him? What qualities did he have?

Or is it purely what they call love at first sight? Are young people today really that straightforward, so if they find someone pleasing, they can just be together without getting to know each other?

Gao Mei truly couldn’t understand; she really doesn’t get the minds of young people.

Seeing her precious daughter being taken advantage of by Xu Qianli, that bad boy, Gao Mei felt empty inside, and couldn’t help but feel uneasy.

Introducing her to Xu Qianli, benefiting Xu Qianli, she didn’t know if it was right or wrong.

But with things having developed to this point, there’s no stopping it, and there’s no chance for regret, she could only let nature take its course.

Taking a deep breath and composing herself, Gao Mei said, "Xu Qianli, as you saw, my daughter, although meeting you for the first time, already has feelings for you and is willing to follow you. You must treat her well in the future and never let her down."

Zhu Yue pulled away from Xu Qianli’s lips, her face flushed, and said, "Mom, don’t worry. Xu Qianli won’t let me down. With a beautiful woman like me willing to be with him, it’s his good fortune; he wouldn’t want to let me down. Xu Qianli, isn’t that right?"

As she spoke, Zhu Yue winked at Xu Qianli, bad man, I’m letting you take advantage, you have to treat me well, and doubly so, in the future.

Xu Qianli nodded firmly, "Miss Zhu—no, Zhu Yue is right. Such a beautiful, sweet, understanding, and delightful girl willing to be with me, how could I let her down? Not just her, I will not let down any of my women. I will take good care of them and make them all happy for a lifetime!"

Xu Qianli deliberately glanced around, sweeping his gaze over Lan Mengni and Ma Xiaoyan, finally focusing on the stunningly charming and alluring beauty Gao Mei, making her heart flutter.

Gao Mei silently cursed, what a kid, just introduced her precious daughter to him, and he’s already like this, really insatiable.

But Gao Mei also knew that a greedy, ambitious man is the most formidable; with ambition and insatiability, there’s motivation to move forward, to seize everything — wealth, power, fame, and beauty — these are a man’s lifelong pursuits.

What man can resist the allure of beauty? The greater the hero, the more he loves beauty. In ancient times, during times of war and chaos, men waged war across the land for land, wealth, power, fame, and beauties.

Even now, in peacetime, some men’s ambitions are unstoppable, and they will pursue those things through other means, even more brutal and bloody than battles in the field.

For top beauties like her and Zhu Yue, if they do not end up with a man possessing enough power, it’s just a nightmare.

Let’s hope, let’s hope this Xu Qianli can really grow into a formidable existence.

Gao Mei made up her mind, no matter what, she must support Xu Qianli, let him grow rapidly, becoming someone no one dares to underestimate.

After a while, Gao Mei excused herself to the restroom, giving Zhu Yue a wink, and they left the private room one after another.

Outside, Gao Mei immediately grasped Zhu Yue’s small hand, "I ask you, why did you agree?"

"Isn’t it you who introduced Xu Qianli to me, Mom? I believe in your judgment. The boyfriend you choose for me must be the best in the world. Of course, I won’t refuse. Mom, you’re my real mom, you surely won’t harm me, you will be good to me. You chose Xu Qianli as my boyfriend, certainly because you saw his good qualities, I trust your judgment."

"Besides, I also think Xu Qianli is not bad. He’s so handsome, with such a strong body. That sharp gaze shows he’s meant for great things, his future achievements will surely be high. Following him wouldn’t be wrong..."

Zhu Yue kept praising Xu Qianli, even repeating what Lan Mengni had said before, leaving Gao Mei all stunned.

So Gao Mei wondered why Zhu Yue agreed to be with Xu Qianli, only to find out that she was just listening to her.

Truth be told, her precious daughter is very proud in front of others but always obedient and sensible in front of her, listening to everything she says.

Today, she let her be with Xu Qianli. Such a big deal, concerning her future happiness for a lifetime, she didn’t even think twice, choosing to trust her, agreeing to be with Xu Qianli, such trust really made Gao Mei feel terribly guilty.

Such a good daughter, such a good person, yet she chose to sacrifice her for her son Zhu Liang’s rescue, letting her be with Xu Qianli, it was so wrong.

She felt overwhelmingly guilty and couldn’t help but cry, the tears falling with a plop.

Zhu Yue panicked, "Mom, why are you crying? What’s wrong with you? Did I do something to upset you? Tell me, what is it?"

"No, no, you didn’t do anything to upset Mom. It’s Mom who did something wrong to you. Mom had selfish intentions, which is why I introduced you to Xu Qianli. It’s like this, I wanted to save your brother..."

Too guilty to bear, Gao Mei recounted everything truthfully, including the Bai Family’s Grandson-in-law requesting her and Lan Mengni’s company, Lan Mengni’s condition that she first compensate Xu Qianli, and her fear of Lan Mengni going back on her word, so she proposed letting the virgin Zhu Yue be with Xu Qianli.

As she spoke, Gao Mei knelt down to Zhu Yue with a thud, smacking herself on the face.

"Mom was wrong, Mom shouldn’t have sacrificed you for your brother. Zhu Yue, just pretend nothing happened today, you leave, don’t see Xu Qianli again. He already has a main wife, following him you’ll only be a concubine, it would be too wrong for you to accept such a thing."

"You go, leave the rest to me. Even if I can’t save your brother, I’ll accept it, after all, your brother really crossed the line by hiring someone to kill you in the fight for family inheritance, he nearly killed you. Even if he’s killed by the Bai Family, it would be his just deserts."

"Zhu Yue, Mom really was wrong, I don’t want to sacrifice you, I don’t want to harm your whole life, you go, go quickly, pretend nothing happened today, just pretend you never met me and Xu Qianli."

Gao Mei regretted it, really regretted it, she shouldn’t have involved her precious daughter.

But luckily, now it’s still not too late for Zhu Yue to leave.
