Rebirth of a Spoiled Darling: Bloodstained Lord Huo's Billion-Dollar Dowry Proposal

living room.

As soon as Meng Shu sat down, he noticed an unpleasant gaze.

He Minghua, who had been all smiles, suddenly changed her expression.

Those droopy eyes narrowed slightly, staring fiercely at Meng Shu, radiating a strong warning.

Meng Shu and she stared at each other for half a second.

A smug smile appeared on his lips, then he turned his head away.

He Minghua wanted to say something more.

Her phone rang suddenly, and she turned and left.

At this moment, only Cao Wen, Meng Yuxuan, and she were in the living room.

Cao Wen's eyes were glued to Meng Shu, driving Meng Yuxuan to the brink of madness with jealousy.

After a while, Meng Yuxuan swayed her waist and walked towards Cao Wen with a cup of hot tea in her hand.

"Young Master Cao, please have some tea."

For some reason, she suddenly felt a pain in her finger, and the teacup fell to the ground.

Without missing a spot, the scalding hot tea spilled onto Cao Wen's crotch.

The tea was quite hot, and the pain made Cao Wen curse.

Immediately afterward, he stood up abruptly, but accidentally bumped into the coffee table, making a loud "bang".

In an instant, different pains came from two parts of his body, so painful that Cao Wen's vision went black and his body went limp.

"What's wrong, Young Master Cao?"

Hearing the noise, Meng Wude rushed over. Seeing Cao Wen's pained expression, he turned his sharp gaze to Meng Shu and asked, "Meng Shu, what have you done now?"

Meng Shu gave a mocking smile and was about to reply when Cao Wen spoke first, "President Meng, this matter has nothing to do with Xiao Shu."

Meng Wood's expression changed, and after glancing at Meng Yuxuan, he immediately understood.

He was about to say something when Meng Shu interrupted him.

"Second Uncle, my cousin accidentally knocked over her teacup, and the scalding tea spilled all over Young Master Cao. I don't know if he's hurt. You should call a doctor to take a look at him right away."

"No need, Mr. Meng," Cao Wen quickly waved his hand in refusal.

At this moment, Meng Yuxuan, realizing what was happening, explained with a pale face.

"Dad, I didn't mean to, I just accidentally slipped..."

Meng Wude looked at Cao Wen with concern and worry, "Young Master Cao, are you alright?"

Meng Shu glanced at Cao Wen's crotch, which was mostly wet, and his eyes were filled with a wicked smile.

It would be strange if nothing happened!

Now, even if his thing isn't broken, it'll be badly damaged, and that'll be a real pain for him.

Thinking of this, Meng Shu frowned and said, "Second Uncle, look, my cousin's hands are all swollen from the burn, I'm afraid..."

Meng Shu didn't say anything more. She slowly sipped her tea, waiting for the show to begin.

Meng Wood's face darkened. He looked at his daughter with heartache and then slapped her across the face.

The crisp sound stunned everyone present.

"Meng Yuxuan, how old are you? Why are you still so clumsy? What will you do if something happens to Young Master Cao? Apologize to Young Master Meng right now!"

Meng Yuxuan was stunned by the slap, and tears streamed down her face.

The cheeks, which were already red from the burn, became even more swollen, and it felt like a layer of skin had peeled off.

She tried to open her mouth to explain, but her face was stiff with pain, and she couldn't make a sound.

Seeing that the situation was out of control, Cao Wen could only grit his teeth and say, "President Meng, I'm fine. Miss Meng meant well. Please don't blame her."

As he spoke, he endured the burning pain, cold sweat breaking out on his face. He pressed his hand tightly against the scalded area, feeling increasingly powerless in that spot.

After a long pause, Cao Wencai's face turned pale. "President Meng, I need to go to the restroom. Also, could you please call a doctor for me?"

After this incident, the tea is naturally no longer safe to drink.

Meng Shu ignored him and went straight back to her room.

She lay in bed, listening to the noise from the living room, a faint smile on her face.

The Huo family is coming tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Meng Shu felt both anticipation and nervousness, with a hint of joy.

Unlike in her previous life, she has always been strongly opposed to marriage.

At that time, she had just returned from the orphanage and knew nothing about the Huo family or Huo Qilin.

Moreover, Meng Yuxuan and He Minghua spoke ill of Huo Qilin quite a bit.

In her mind, Huo Qilin was always a person with an ugly face, a ruthless heart, and a serious illness.

Therefore, she was terrified from the bottom of her heart.

She never expected that the man would look like a god descended from heaven. Although he was cold and aloof, he was surprisingly gentle and doting on her.

They granted her every wish, instantly making this orphan girl the envy and jealousy of all women in China!

Huo Qilin—the thought of seeing him again in this lifetime brought a lump to Meng Shu's throat, and her eyes reddened.

In her past life, she never cherished her time with Huo Qilin, and even caused him to commit suicide for her.

A wave of guilt washed over Meng Shu, making it difficult for her to breathe, and she almost suffocated.

As if guided by some strange force, she dialed a number that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

A few seconds later, Huo Qilin's cool voice came from the phone.

This moment felt like a lifetime ago.

To be precise, it was indeed another life.

Meng Shu's fingers trembled as she tried to hold back her tears, but they still welled up in her eyes.

Interestingly, the other party didn't hang up when there was no response.

A few minutes later, after composing himself, Meng Shu said softly, "Mr. Huo, I am Meng Shu."

"Hmm, what's up?" The other person's tone was calm and even, as if they had expected it all along.

Meng Shu paused for a moment, then said softly, "No, I just wanted to ask if you're feeling better?"

"What, you think I don't have to get married just because I'm healthier? Dream on!"

Meng Shu was startled by the man's words.

She coughed lightly, her pretty face flushed, "No, I wanted to tell you that I truly want to marry you."

After saying that, he hurriedly hung up the phone.

Then, he felt annoyed in bed.

I regret calling him in a moment of impulse.

What if he asks me where I got the phone number?

After all, Huo Qilin is no ordinary person.

Oh well, I'm going to stick with him for life anyway.

Lost in thought, Meng Shu drifted off to sleep.

the next day.

Meng Yuxuan came to find her early in the morning, saying he wanted to take her out to buy a gift to apologize.

Meng Shu smiled without showing any emotion.

Judging from this, it seems like they're deliberately trying to get her away.

Otherwise, given Meng Yuxuan's personality, how could she possibly take the initiative to show weakness?

A hint of sarcasm flashed in Meng Shu's eyes. "No need. I have something to do today and will be back later."

"Really?" Meng Yuxuan asked excitedly, blurting out the answer without thinking.

After speaking, he realized it wasn't appropriate and said awkwardly, "Xiao Shu, don't misunderstand, I just wanted to go out with you, but..."

Meng Shu smiled and waved her hand, "I understand. After all, my cousin's face is really an eyesore, so we shouldn't scare innocent people."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

She has an important matter to attend to today, and she can't be careless.

Her words enraged Meng Yuxuan behind her, who went into a frenzy and cursed all of Meng Shu's ancestors.

Meng Family Villa.

"Mr. Liu, please come in quickly." Meng Wude was respectful and spoke warmly.
