Reborn and fleeing for his life, he unexpectedly knocks on the door of the prince of Beijing's

Wen Shengsheng took a deep breath and sat down with a cold face.

Xu Hui looked at her, and when she caught sight of the clothes she was wearing that were worth only a few hundred yuan, she habitually showed a faint hint of disdain.

Xu Hui is Xi Ruifeng's wife and Xi Yu's sister-in-law.

She's a bit snobbish, but her interpersonal skills are passable.

"Let me take you shopping first, and then we'll go home. It's our first time meeting Young Master Li, so it's better to be a little formal."

Wen Shengsheng didn't speak, her gaze lingering on the view outside the window.

Seeing this, Xu Hui had to reprimand her, saying, "Sheng Sheng, Xi Yu is already engaged. Now that your family is arranging blind dates for you, it's actually a good thing for you. It's better than you meeting some random people outside on your own."

"After all, everything you have today was nurtured by the Xi family, so your future husband can't be too bad either, otherwise wouldn't that be a disgrace to the Xi family?"

These words again filled Wen Shengsheng with extreme repression.

But we have to admit that what they said was the truth.

Wen Shengsheng was only adopted by the Xi family when she went to university, and all her university expenses were covered by the Xi family.

For this reason, whenever she had any dissatisfaction, the Xi family would bring it up and make her feel ashamed.

After all, one is bound to be obligated to those who feed them.

This is a fact.

"Okay." In the end, Wen Shengsheng nodded, but her mind was already scheming how to ruin this blind date that night.

......

Xu Hui had a good eye; she chose a black dress that didn't go past the knees, which perfectly accentuated Wen Shengsheng's slender and well-proportioned figure. After putting on high heels and light makeup, she looked as alluring as a dark elf.

Xu Hui really likes to dress like this.

Because men are most likely to fall for this type of woman.

When I got home, Mr. and Mrs. Li Gang were already there, drinking tea in the living room.

Upon seeing the two return home, Li Chuan's mother, He Fang, was the first to greet them, exchanging pleasantries with Xu Hui in a humble and polite manner.

Only then did he turn his attention to Wen Shengsheng.

"This is Sheng Sheng, she's so beautiful."

"Hello, Auntie," Wen Shengsheng greeted her dryly.

"Good, good, good. I knew the Xi family members were all pretty good. Such a beautiful girl, it's such a good deal for my wild boy."

Xu Hui: "It doesn't matter if a girl is pretty or not. What's important is that she has good character and talent."

As she spoke, she pulled Wen Shengsheng to sit down. "Our Shengsheng is not only a top student from Peking University, but she also joined Qingshan Capital after graduation. She earned all of this through her own hard work, so the old man is determined to find her a good family."

"Yes, yes, my rascal, although he's not very steady, his character and kindness are impeccable."

As she spoke, He Fang patted Li Chuan behind her, signaling him to stand up and say hello.

He was a handsome boy with big, watery eyes, who looked quite innocent.

His gaze lingered on Wen Shengsheng for only a few seconds before he lowered his eyes, clearly showing no interest.

He Fang laughed and said, "Our Xiao Chuan has never been in a relationship. Look, he gets shy when he sees a girl."

Xu Hui: "That's right, our Sheng Sheng is the same. She has been focused on her studies all these years and has no time to date."

Wen Shengsheng knew Li Chuan; he was the most spineless person in Xi Yu's circle.

He's bad at studying, and he has absolutely no sense of business acumen. I heard that his parents sent him to work at a company to gain experience, but he made a complete mess of it.

Most importantly, he is also somewhat introverted.

Moreover, judging from his current appearance, he clearly doesn't want to go on this blind date and was forced to.

Thinking of this, Wen Shengsheng couldn't help but sneer.

Xi Yu, you've really gone to great lengths to prevent me from affecting you and your Wanqiu, trying every possible way to push me out!

At 7 o'clock sharp, the restaurant opened for dinner.

Li Wanqiu also came.

She sat sweetly next to Xi Yu, and the two chatted and laughed, looking happy and harmonious.

Wen Shengsheng lowered her head and sat at the back of the dining table, not wanting to see that glaring scene.

With Xi Maokun taking his seat, dinner finally began.

Li Gang and Xi Maokun had known each other for many years and had always cooperated in business. As soon as he took his seat, he praised Xi Yu, saying how capable and intelligent he was, and how outstanding he was among the young talents in Beijing.

Xi Maokun's face remained dignified, but his eyes were full of smiles.

Clearly, he was pleased with the compliment.

He had only two sons. The eldest son, Xi Ruifeng, was in poor health for many years and was not capable of doing much work.

Only his youngest son, Xi Yu, truly pleased him; he was handsome, talented, and exceptionally capable, and was his designated successor.

Xi Maokun laughed and said, "Men have always been the ones who start a family first and then build a career. Xi Yu's achievements today are entirely due to Wanqiu's efforts."

Li Wanqiu smiled brightly, "Uncle Xi, you just love to joke with me. I didn't help at all. Xi Yu made his way in the world on his own."

Xi Maokun: "This is no joke. You can tell a man's level by looking at the women around him."

As he spoke, he glanced at Wen Shengsheng and added, "Similarly, the most crucial factor for a woman to be respected is the kind of man she chooses. Otherwise, no matter how beautiful or highly educated she is, it's useless."

He Fang immediately chimed in, "Grandpa is absolutely right. Right now, what I'm most worried about is Li Chuan's marriage. If he could have a reliable and beautiful girlfriend to help him manage things, he wouldn't be in such a hopeless situation now."

As she spoke, a worried look appeared on her face.

When his parents spoke to him like that in public, Li Chuan's face turned pale and then red, clearly feeling embarrassed.

“Oh,” Li Wanqiu suddenly said, “Mrs. Li, isn’t this reliable and beautiful girlfriend already available? It just depends on whether you two are willing.”

After Li Wanqiu's "unintentional" reminder, He Fang immediately looked at Wen Shengsheng and then smiled as if her expression had changed.

"Oh, you're right." She looked at Xi Maokun, who was sitting in the upper seat. "I just don't know if the old man will even look at our good-for-nothing son."

Xi Maokun's eyes were half-closed, all his calculations hidden behind the crisscrossing lines around his eyes.

He took a sip of tea, feigning profundity, and said, "If Sheng Sheng can be with Li Chuan, it will be an absolute blessing for her. We are the ones who are afraid that you will look down on her."

"The old man is just too modest. He's giving my son too much credit." Li Gang happily raised his glass to Xi Maokun and downed it in one gulp. "If their relationship goes through, we can have a big celebration at the end of the year!"

Wen Shengsheng's face turned pale and then red, her heart churning as if it had been filled with hot water.

The Li couple thought Xi Maokun was being modest, but only she knew that he was subtly and overtly mocking Wen Shengsheng.

Li Chuan is hopeless and incompetent, while Wen Shengsheng not only comes from a poor background but also has a bad fate that caused the death of her parents, making her a woman who cannot be brought to the table.

So, if the two of them could become a couple, they would be a perfect match!

"Dad, what are you saying? I don't agree." Li Chuan was afraid they were really going to make this decision, so he stood up angrily and refused.
