I have only one small request, recommendation votes, give them to me.
......
"Xi Xi!" At this moment, the gentle and soft Yue Chang suddenly changed her demeanor, her face turning cold as ice, her voice icy: "No nonsense! Stand up and apologize to the big brother!"
Yue Xi, reprimanded by Yue Chang, trembled and stood up hesitantly, her head lowered, not daring to look at Yue Chang, and bowed deeply to Liu Menglong: "Big brother, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have played such a joke on you."
"......"
Liu Menglong and the people around him gaped in shock, the scene before them exceeding everyone's expectations.
The passersby felt deceived and left with a mix of laughter and tears, but Liu Menglong looked at Yue Chang with a stunned expression. Was this cold and stern girl really Yue Chang? Where was the gentle and soft girl who was like a little lamb?
"Big brother..." Seeing that Liu Menglong had not responded for a long time, Yue Xi raised her head pitifully: "Can you forgive me?"
"Ah? Ah, yes, I forgive you."
"Thank you, big brother." Yue Xi cheered, turning to look at Yue Chang: "Chang Chang, see? Big brother has forgiven me, so don't be angry anymore."
Yue Chang's face gradually thawed, finally returning to her soft and gentle appearance, she sighed: "Really, don't play such jokes in the future. The excuse of a girl being pregnant is not good."
"I know!" Getting Yue Chang's forgiveness, Yue Xi was in high spirits, humming a happy tune, her ponytail bouncing along.
Yue Chang sighed helplessly, turning to look at Liu Menglong with a hint of apology in her eyes: "I'm sorry, big brother. Xi Xi is too naughty. I will strictly discipline her in the future."
"It's okay." Liu Menglong waved his hand, looking at Yue Chang's soft and sweet face, he smiled lightly: "I didn't expect you to have such a stern side, it scared me."
"Sorry, big brother." Yue Chang scratched her cheek shyly, looking particularly cute.
Unconsciously, they had already walked out of the station, and a taxi driver approached to ask where they were going.
Yue Xi asked: "How much to Jiangyang Hotel?"
Hearing Yue Xi's serious Longcheng accent, the driver was secretly delighted but pretended to be very generous: "I won't ask for much, how about 80 yuan?"
"80 yuan..." Yue Xi was not very familiar with the prices, being in an unfamiliar place, she didn't know if this price was reasonable.
"Let's go!" At this moment, Liu Menglong grabbed Yue Xi's hand and walked forward, saying as he walked: "Jiangyang Hotel is just two kilometers away, 10 yuan is enough. If you're not afraid of the effort, you can walk for half an hour and get there."
Liu Menglong spoke with a Tianfu accent, hearing this, the driver smiled bitterly: "Brother, you should have said that earlier! This is no problem!"
Walking with Yue Xi for a dozen meters, Nalan Ruyue and Yue Chang followed closely behind. At this moment, another driver drove up: "Where are you going?"
Liu Menglong looked at him, a man in his thirties, with a yellowish-white aura on his head, he seemed to be a good person.
"Jiangyang Hotel, no meter, 10 yuan, deal or not?"
Hearing Liu Menglong's local accent, the driver chuckled: "Sure! Get in the car."
Liu Menglong smiled slightly, let go of Yue Xi's hand, and said: "Alright, get in the car!"
Yue Xi looked a bit strange, dazed, with a slight blush on her face. Hearing Liu Menglong's words, she made a couple of 'ah oh' sounds and quickly threw her luggage into the back seat, getting in the car with Yue Chang.
In the car, Yue Chang and Yue Xi waved goodbye to Liu Menglong and Nalan Ruyue: "Big brother, Sister Ruyue, I'll call you later, let's hang out when you have time!"
Nalan Ruyue smiled and waved, Liu Menglong said: "Sure, come to my place when you have time, have a safe trip."
After seeing off the Yue sisters, Liu Menglong also got into another car and took Nalan Ruyue home.
Liu Menglong's home was in the suburbs, a three-story European-style villa, over 200 square meters in size, with a fountain and garden in front, lush trees, and a very elegant environment, a great place for health and wellness.
To say that Long Qingyun was quite good to Liu Ying, although they hadn't seen each other for many years, he provided Liu Ying and Liu Menglong with ample material conditions. This was also why Liu Menglong went to Longcheng to recognize his father. He originally thought that no matter what, his father would certainly recognize him as his son, but he never expected that his father had a legitimate son.
Originally, the legitimate son would have been fine, Liu Menglong didn't care, but he didn't expect the legitimate son to be so ruthless. They say the imperial family is the most heartless, and Liu Menglong didn't fully believe it before, but now he did.
Walking into the house, the rooms had gathered a layer of dust after several days without cleaning.
"There are rooms on the first and second floors, you can choose any one." Liu Menglong said to Nalan Ruyue, who was curiously looking around: "I don't know why you followed me, but I don't want to support a freeloader. From now on, all household chores are your responsibility, and I will be responsible for earning money to support the family."
Hearing this, Nalan Ruyue looked at Liu Menglong with serious eyes, her bright eyes flickered, and she nodded, gesturing: "Okay."
"Alright." Liu Menglong turned and walked upstairs: "There are some things in the fridge, make lunch, and in the afternoon, I'll take you around to familiarize yourself with the surroundings."
Leaving Nalan Ruyue behind, Liu Menglong went straight to the third floor. The entire third floor had only one bedroom and a very spacious and bright living room. The entire east wall was covered by a huge mirror, making the living room even brighter and suitable for a dance studio.
Liu Ying loved dancing when she was alive, and this mirror was designed for her to dance. However, only Liu Menglong and perhaps Long Qingyun had the privilege of watching her dance, while Uncle Guan always avoided it when she danced.
Liu Menglong didn't know much about dancing, but he thought Liu Ying was beautiful when she danced, more beautiful than the famous dancers on TV. Her graceful and elegant dance moves were like those of a celestial fairy.
Stepping into the bedroom, the room was 5x5 meters. In the center of the west wall was a round double bed, very large with a diameter of 2.5 meters, very romantic. To the north was a double-door wardrobe, with beautiful floral and bird carvings on the doors.
To the south was a balcony, separated by a light yellow curtain. On the bedside table to the south of the bed was a photo frame, inside was a woman in her twenties, with delicate and beautiful features, wearing a light yellow dress, her waist-length hair simply tied and pulled to the front, exuding a touch of charm.
This woman was Liu Menglong's mother, Liu Ying. This photo was taken two years ago, when Liu Ying was 39 years old, but she looked like a woman in her twenties. When they went out together, people often mistook them for a couple.
In fact, their relationship was very similar to that of a couple. After Long Qingyun left, Liu Ying devoted all her love to Liu Menglong, never scolding or hitting him, and always fulfilling his wishes. Even before Liu Menglong went to university, they slept in the same bed.
During his four years at university, Liu Menglong had many girlfriends, but he always compared them to Liu Ying. This comparison made his longest relationship last only two weeks, and the shortest less than a day. Over four years, Liu Menglong dated over 90 girls, and he always broke up with them, setting a record that even Hanamichi would envy.
Liu Menglong remains single to this day, which is not unrelated to Liu Ying. He has yet to find a woman as outstanding as Liu Ying, or even close to her. Liu Menglong is like a spoiled child, but fortunately, although his values are a bit skewed, he knows right from wrong and is not a spoiled brat.
Picking up the photo frame, his fingers gently brushed over Liu Ying's face, Liu Menglong's eyes became moist: "Mom, you didn't make a mistake, you just forgot he had a son... Uncle Guan is dead, killed by his son. This hatred is irreconcilable, I must kill his son to avenge Uncle Guan.
But don't worry, I won't transfer my hatred to the entire Long family. Even if his son dies, he can still have another one at his age, which is better than such a ruthless beast.
Mom, a lot has happened these past few days, I have a lot to tell you. If you were still here, it would be so much better. I don't care about the Long family's status, I don't care about wealth and honor. As long as I have you and Uncle Guan, living a simple life together would make me very content and happy. But why did you leave?
Mom, do you know how hard it is for me now..."
