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

Lord heard this.

Strange flames flickered in his heterochromatic eyes.

He spoke slowly and deliberately: "I originally thought that Miss Meng and classmate Huo Zhi disliked each other, but I didn't expect them to have such a good relationship."

Meng Shu disagreed: "Mr. Lord doesn't know many things. After all, this is China, don't you think?"

Lord smiled and stroked the mug, but the smile didn't reach his eyes: "I just heard from Xiao Zhi that Miss Meng found her necklace?"

Meng Shu nodded slightly.

"Miss Meng is really lucky. I heard that the Huo family's servants searched for an hour but couldn't find it, but you found it as soon as you came downstairs. You really have sharp eyes."

Meng Shu remained completely calm despite hearing the deliberately sarcastic and provocative words.

She even smiled and said, "Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Lord."

Lord felt a little irritated.

I originally intended to provoke this girl.

This enraged her and caused her to lose her temper.

I never expected this girl to be so cunning.

They are completely unresponsive to reason.

It seems we have no choice but to resort to that tactic.

At this moment, Huo Zhi came out with coffee.

"Meng Shu, have some coffee."

Meng Shu raised an eyebrow.

I picked up a glass and smelled it.

It tastes like baby water.

He smiled and said, "Rich and full-bodied."

Huo Zhi said smugly, "Miss Meng must have never tasted this before. This is a coffee worth a thousand gold pieces. You've hit the jackpot today."

Unexpectedly, Meng Shu suddenly put the coffee back.

"Excuse me, Huo Zhi, I have always hated the kind of thing that's all about worshipping foreign things, so I never drink coffee."

Huo Zhi's face immediately darkened.

My hand holding the coffee started to tremble.

Lord smiled.

"Xiao Zhi, Miss Meng doesn't drink coffee, so please bring her a cup of tea."

Huo Zhi returned to the kitchen.

I soaked the Da Hong Pao tea leaves again.

This time, Meng Shu did not refuse.

Lord raised his mug.

"Miss Meng, let's have a drink."

I misunderstood you last time, and it was a misunderstanding. I hope you won't take it to heart.

I'm Huo Zhi's teacher, and you're Huo Zhi's sister-in-law. We're practically family, so we can't let trivial matters ruin our harmony."

Meng Shu's smile deepened: "Mr. Lord is right."

Lord said, "Don't keep calling me Mr. Lord, it's too formal. Just call me Lord from now on. If there's anything I can help you with, I'll do anything for you."

"Don't dare."

Meng Shu lowered his voice, speaking in a tone only the two of them could hear.

"A pie falling from the sky is a trap on the ground. I've always been timid and would never covet benefits beyond my understanding."

As soon as these words fell.

Lord's smile faded, and his gaze toward Meng Shu turned sinister and ruthless.

He let out a cold snort and slammed the coffee cup heavily on the ground.

Clearly, he saw Meng Shu take a sip of tea and stop pretending.

He sneered and said, "Miss Meng, anyone who dares to mess with me is reduced to ashes. Are you sure you want to go against me?"

Lord's heterochromatic eyes, refracted by the sunlight.

It seemed to emit a faint, cold light, sending chills down one's spine.

Meng Shu met his gaze without fear.

It even carried a mocking smile.

"Speaking of which, isn't it Mr. Lord who's trying to oppose me?"

A sinister glint flashed across Lord's face.

He chuckled coldly and said, "Miss Meng, remember what you said today. I hope you won't regret it later."

Meng Shu nodded nonchalantly: "Sorry to disappoint you, but I never regret what I do!"
