Top celebrity brother universally disliked online? His wealthy older sister pampers him!
Chapter 429 #Husband Selection Banquet# #Granting Wife a Name#
Shi Mingmei gradually remembered some things from the past.
strangeness.
Just moments ago, my mind was still hazy. Huo Mingyi had changed quite a bit, but he wasn't so ordinary that he was just another face in the crowd. How come I didn't recognize him just now? I had to be reminded and reminded repeatedly before I could slowly recall him...
Could it be that she has developed Alzheimer's disease prematurely?
Impossible Impossible!
Let's get down to business.
Shi Mingmei's mother has a hobby of reading CEO romance novels, and she herself is a real CEO's wife.
In Kyoto's social circles, the Shi family is considered one of the top wealthy families. The entire family dotes on their youngest daughter, so naturally, Shi Mingmei doesn't need to arrange a marriage.
then what should we do?
After reading a novel about domineering CEOs, Shi's mother had a brilliant idea: why not hold a husband-selection banquet for her daughter!
To avoid any reckless young punks emerging in the future, they first screened out 98% of the invitations, selecting those whose family backgrounds were mismatched. In addition, they were young, and their feelings could be cultivated slowly, making them "childhood sweethearts" who had entered the relationship later in life. Any problems could be exposed early on.
If it can be solved, then solve it; if it can't be solved, then find another one, instead of rushing into a marriage only to have major problems erupt later.
Just do it!
So, on the day of the banquet, among the various families and young men invited by the Shi family, there was Huo Mingyi.
Huo Mingyi was also outstanding in appearance at that time. Compared with the others' attempts to please him, he stood there for various reasons, which immediately attracted Shi Mingmei's attention.
Because she was so pampered at home, her family worried that even the slightest setback would be too much for her. So, many things were planned in advance, and even if an "accident" happened, there were still backup plans.
Plan-B, Plan-C, Plan-D…
Therefore, the seemingly well-behaved and lovable Shi Mingmei, in a rare act of rebellion, chose the out-of-place Huo Mingyi.
Looking back now, what was so special about this man? He was arrogant, inconsiderate, and couldn't understand human language! He wasn't really any better looking than anyone else either. Good heavens~ Was I under a spell back then?
and many more!
Qin Chaoyue, who is now actively approaching her, seems to have the same attitude towards her. Could it be that her taste has never changed, and she has always consistently liked this type?
No, no.
Since both she and Qin Chaoyue are women, the fact that she pays more attention to Qin Chaoyue must be due to the repulsion between women, or jealousy between women!
Moreover, although Qin Chaoyue has a sour face, she will still try to save him when he is in danger; she doesn't just abandon him.
However, Huo Mingyi in his youth was not as greasy as he appears now.
Shi Mingmei's family saw that she had already made her choice.
The Huo family?
If your daughter/sister doesn't have the power or wealth of your own family, choosing him would be considered marrying down, wouldn't it?
That works too.
In fact, the Shi family also knew that Shi Mingmei's personality might have been spoiled a little too much by her family, but her personality had already been formed, so what could they do? They themselves couldn't bear to let her go.
As children, we rely on our parents; as adults, we rely on our brothers; and in the future, we rely on our children/nephews. In short, blood relatives are always more reliable than a husband who is not a relative.
Continuing to look downwards is fine too.
More importantly, Huo Mingyi's status at that time meant that, from the perspective of an elder, as long as the Shi family remained, he was very easy to control.
—Winning the bid.
Huo Mingyi also had a period of being very attentive, even though he had a sour face and had to obey his elders to get along with the little princess of the Shi family.
If he does well, both the Huo and Shi families will reward and support him. Huo Mingyi is also willing to work hard, and he also has a bit of luck. With these, he gradually rose to the top.
What comes next?
With the awakening of his domineering CEO aura and a serendipitous reunion with his childhood friend Xu Mucheng, the two's magnetic fields influenced each other, causing Huo Mingyi to become arrogant and conceited, and he began to look down on everyone else as an equal.
This includes the Shi family, who had helped him a great deal in the past.
The young lady is always aloof and superior, so why would she care about other people's feelings?
Even if she turned her head for a fleeting moment and saw Huo Mingyi's pitiful, pleading eyes, it was laughable; she neither liked nor felt sorry for him.
Now, if asked, Shi Mingmei recounts the past events as if pouring beans from a bamboo tube.
There were some things Shi Mingmei wasn't clear about, and Shi Wangyan added to them from the side.
Lili was stunned.
"Isn't this just being a kept man?"
Mom!
It's as if she accidentally unearthed a huge surprise!
"well enough."
Shi Mingmei thought for a moment and said, "Now my eldest brother is mainly in charge of things at home. He is rather stingy with outsiders. Now that the engagement has been dissolved, he will definitely find a way to make the other party give it back."
It still includes both principal and interest.
Shi Mingmei silently added in her heart, but in front of others, she still remembered to give her older brother some face.
Shi Mingmei then thought of what she had seen in "Qin Chaoyue's Edit Collection" just a week ago, and she rarely sighed.
"So it's not good to get engaged too early. People can change faster than pigs!"
The young lady spoke casually, but the live stream room exploded with excitement.
I'm shocked! This is practically peeling Huo Mingyi's skin off layer by layer right here and now!
[Are you there? Still doing poverty alleviation? Look at me.]
[That's not entirely true. Although Huo Mingyi was initially favored by the little princess and received a lot of resources, the fact that he's reached his current position means he must possess certain abilities. We can't completely deny his worth because of some moral failings.]
[Is it true that men are more likely to care for other men?]
I admit that Huo Mingyi does have some ability, but without the rich girl's help, he would probably only be a small business owner at best if he started his own business. When he was forty years old, he made a little progress, and he would still make his employees work overtime at six o'clock in the afternoon, voluntarily making promises to the other party, just so that he could buy a new Mercedes-Benz.
Why are you monitoring my life?
【? ? ? 】
That's my dad!
Wow, Huo Mingyi has really given me a better impression of the "phoenix man" archetype. In the early stages, he relied on his good looks and education to rise to power by marrying into a wealthy family. He also maintained a close relationship with his first love, his "white moonlight," and when he realized he was getting ahead, he stopped hiding it and simply killed the wealthy heiress so that his "white moonlight" could move in and take over her place.
[Huo Mingyi's patience is terrible. The relationship isn't even official yet, they're not even married, and he's already announced Xu Mucheng's existence to the public? He deserves to be dumped!]
In any case, congratulations to the young lady on escaping her misery!
Remember the episode about going abroad? The resource Xu Mucheng encountered on the street was given to her by Huo Mingyi. Guess where it came from? It was from the Shi family. Hilarious! Giving his fiancée's things to his mistress, how audacious!
[Judging from Huo Mingyi's arrogant attitude at the beginning, the thought that Xu Mucheng's carefully chosen good brother turned out to be this kind of person makes me want to laugh.]
[How can you talk like that? He's just my brother! (Xu Mucheng's "climbing the social ladder" face.jpg)]
[The new episode has only been on its first day and it's already revealed so much—it's thrilling!!!]
Seemingly thinking of something, Shi Mingmei walked towards Huo Mingyi's direction again. As the saying goes, "Don't stand under a dangerous wall, be prepared for any eventuality"... Shi Mingmei also pulled his second brother along.
The two stood still, a little distance away from Huo Mingyi.
The young lady raised her chin and asked, "What's your name?"
Huo Mingyi raised his head.
At this moment, the man's meticulously styled hair was slightly disheveled, and he no longer appeared as spirited as before.
Huo Mingyi felt a mixture of hatred and resentment towards the woman in front of him, a pure hatred. Shi Mingmei symbolized his most humiliating period of life, and even now, in his high position, he still grits his teeth and remembers it vividly whenever he recalls it.
If one day in the future, he will definitely trample Shi Mingmei, her parents, her older brother... and even the entire Shi family under his feet to avenge today's humiliation!
But he has to admit that he can't live without this woman right now.
The second time!
When asked for his name, did he not even remember that? Or was he deliberately trying to humiliate him?
That was utterly humiliating!
Seeing Shi Mingmei deep in thought.
Could it be that after hurting him so badly, she finally remembered her good qualities? Huo Mingyi suppressed his disgust and acted in the way she used to like, thinking that he had made a huge sacrifice.
"Shi Mingmei, do you want to win her back now? Goodnight—"
"never mind."
Shi Mingmei interrupted.
Now, the one who has always been high and mighty is this truly pampered young lady.
“I remember you weren’t originally called by this name. There should be a character in your name that belongs to me. Give it back.”
Shi Mingmei.
Huo Mingyi.
[My goodness, this isn't just a "husband selection banquet," it also includes a "wife's surname (given name) ceremony"! We gigolo sons-in-law have really made something of ourselves!]
That young lady really sacrificed a lot; her name is tainted.
It's okay, there are so many people in the country with the same name, just wash it and it'll still be usable.
[This mere son-in-law has gone too far!]
[If you don't understand, what was Huo Mingyi's original name?]
[Although the second half is a complete failure, the first half... Huo Mingyi, I beg you, please publish the book! Huo Mingyi, I'll never curse you again!!]
That's a huge sacrifice; at most, I won't scold him today.
Today? Just one minute!
[It would be faster to find a sorcerer in Southeast Asia to cast a love spell, or, if all else fails, how about a Miao witch doctor?]
【…】
When it came to naming his wife after her, didn't you all see one man's eyes light up?
