Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Just as Lan was about to ask Cheng Qianqian if she had any good ways to make money, someone knocked on the door. It was the housekeeper of the Cheng residence.
"Miss, Young Master Feng is here. Master wants you to go down."
With that, the butler glared at Lan. "How can a servant like you be in Miss's room? Follow me down immediately!"
"Got it," Lan said, pursing her lips. She cleared the table and went down.
The engagement between the Cheng and Feng families was personally set by the Old Master Cheng when he was still alive, and all these years, Cheng Jinzhi had always thought of herself as Feng Yi's fiancée. The two of them were about to get engaged soon, but news spread that she was not the real daughter of the Cheng family.
Later on, Cheng Qianqian was found and brought back to the family. When the Feng family saw her looks, they wanted to break off the engagement. However, they found a master from somewhere who said that Cheng Qianqian was destined to be rich. Whoever married her would definitely prosper their family and be as rich as a king.
Hence, the Feng family specifically requested Cheng Qianqian to fulfill the engagement. When Cheng Jinzhi knew about this, she hated Cheng Qianqian to death.
That was how the scene at the Luxury Bar last night came about.
Cheng Qianqian didn't have a good impression of Feng Yi before and definitely didn't want to marry him. After what happened last night, she became more determined not to marry into a snobbish family like the Fengs.
However, she had no say in the Cheng family. Moreover, she still needed the Cheng family to be her cover so that she would have enough time to develop her career.
After much thought, the only way was to let Feng Yi decline the marriage.
Hence, Cheng Qianqian ran to the wardrobe. She found a rose-red long dress and matched it with a pair of green leggings. She also put on all the jewelry that Cheng Jinzhi had given her earlier when she pretended to befriend her.
Then, Cheng Qianqian took out her blusher and painted two big red blushes on her face, looking like a tasteless matchmaker in the countryside wearing red and green.
After dressing up, Cheng Qianqian went downstairs.
In the living room, Cheng Ruohuai was entertaining Feng Yi.
"My good nephew, your father has already spoken to me over the phone yesterday. He hopes that our families can hold the engagement ceremony as soon as possible and officially announce your marriage to my daughter. What do you think?"
Feng Yi frowned when he heard that. He had just returned from overseas and only found out that the Cheng family had found their real daughter. He had also heard some rumors about this real daughter.
Although he did not like Cheng Jinzhi, she still had her merits as compared to a black and ugly country girl.
However…
"Actually, I…"
"Brother Feng Yi!"
Cheng Qianqian flew down the stairs like a butterfly.
Feng Yi felt a mass of red and green flashing before his eyes. When he took a closer look, he saw that there was a woman dressed in unfashionable ugly clothes, with a strange blush painted on her black face. She was standing in front of him, calling him 'Brother Feng Yi' sweetly!
He nearly spat out the mouthful of tea he had just drunk.
Feng Yi forced himself to calm down. The corners of his mouth twitched. "You… you are Qianqian?"
"That's right!" Cheng Qianqian smiled with her mouth open. There was a piece of scallion still stuck on her yellowed teeth, and her mouth was filled with the smell of pork and leek.
Feng Yi was so close to her that he almost vomited.
"Cheng Qianqian, what are you wearing!"
Cheng Ruohuai's face turned red with anger when he saw Cheng Qianqian like this. "Hurry back to your room and get changed!"
"I… I heard that Brother Feng Yi is here, so I wanted to dress up. I… Don't I look good like this?" Cheng Qianqian pouted and looked at Feng Yi with grievance.
