Chapter 134 Uninvited Guest
After a while, Li Yi came back, but the expression on his face was not very good, and he even hesitated to speak.
With just one glance, Zhong Yuyiran knew what the result would be, but she still asked without giving up, "What did Brother Huangfu say?"
"Miss Yiran, the master didn't let me in." Li Yi said truthfully, "So..."
"It's okay." Although she had already guessed that this would be the result before, Zhong Yuyiran's complexion was still not very good, she muttered to herself, "This is definitely not what Brother Huangfu meant, Ye Leng'an must have provoked it."
It was because of Ye Leng'an's appearance that Brother Huangfu made such a big change. Therefore, among them, Ye Leng'an must be playing tricks.
He opened his mouth sharply, as if he wanted to say something. However, in the end, he still didn't say anything.
He always felt that after Miss Yiran woke up this time, her whole person seemed to have changed a lot. Miss Yiran used to be warm, cheerful, kind and generous, but now she seems to be the same as before, but she can feel a trace of haze appearing on her body from time to time.
For a moment, he was in a daze, because he now had a slight doubt about his choice. For Miss Yiran, he is almost expelled by his master now. Is it really worth it?
The auction is being held, and on the other side, a group of uninvited guests have also ushered in the villa in Yelen'an, the imperial capital.
Early this morning, Li Qiaomeng had already started preparations. That's right, today is the day she plans to invite someone to the villa.
For today's day, she went to the rental shop with her mother to rent two luxury items. In fact, she wanted to buy a whole suit even more. It's just that the clothes in the luxury store are too expensive. Even the cheapest two-piece suit will cost more than half a month's salary of my mother. Therefore, my mother was determined not to buy it, and even said bluntly that if she really insisted on buying it, her classmates would not be allowed to come to the villa.
So, in the end, she had no choice but to go to the rental shop and rent two sets of clothes. However, even these two sets of clothes cost almost a thousand yuan.
Actually, what she wanted more was to be able to borrow a suit of clothes from Ye Leng'an's room to change into. In the past, she once entered Leng'an's room overnight, and she was very jealous of the luxurious new clothes in it. It's a pity that her mother doesn't let her touch the things in Ye Leng'an's room at all.
Even in that expensive dress, Mrs. Zhuang doesn't look like a noble lady. She feels uncomfortable at the moment, "Mengmeng, I still think that by doing this, you are deceiving your friends. The most important thing in making friends is sincerity, and you shouldn't compare yourself to each other."
"Mom, it's already at this time, why are you still talking about this!" Li Qiaomeng was very dissatisfied, "Wait a minute for my classmates to come over, you don't want to be a gangster. I have already invited people over today. If I tell them now that the truth is that I lied to them, how can I meet people in school from now on?"
Mrs. Zhuang frowned and couldn't help sighing, "I shouldn't have agreed to it at the beginning."
Now she really regrets it. She always feels that it is wrong for her daughter to do so. Moreover, she felt that what she did was to betray Miss Ye's trust in her. Miss Ye let her stay in the villa for the New Year because she trusted her. However, now they turned their backs on customers, and even invited strangers to come to the villa.
"Mom, don't think too much." Li Qiaomeng hugged Aunt Zhuang's arm and said with a smile, "It's just today, I promise that this kind of thing won't happen in the future. Besides, after today, I will be able to meet some higher-level friends. It will be good for me to stay in the imperial capital in the future, won't it?"
"Oh!" Mrs. Zhuang still couldn't help exhorting, "Forget it today, but you have to remember that you can't enter Miss Ye's pharmacy, and you can't go to the second floor. Miss Ye once explained that you can't just enter her room."
"Oh, I know." Li Qiaomeng was a little impatient, "You have said it many times, and I have remembered it. But you, you must remember that today, you are not the servant of this villa, you are the owner of this villa. You have to show some momentum and don't make my classmates suspicious."
Mrs. Zhuang was very helpless, but she was already on the verge of riding a tiger, so she could only bite the bullet and continue acting. Now she only prays that today will pass quickly, and that nothing happens within today.
When it was almost evening, Li Qiaomeng's classmate finally came. Not many people came this time, only three girls and two boys, one of whom was her boyfriend. Originally, she planned to find another time to invite her boyfriend over.
However, she could see that her mother disapproved of her inviting friends to the villa. In addition, I don't know when the owner of this villa will come back. What's more, mom didn't know she had a boyfriend yet. Therefore, she could only take advantage of this opportunity and call people over by the way. Let's talk about it after passing this level first. As for the future, let's talk about it later!
If Ye Lenganan is here, he will be surprised. Because among these people, there is a person she is very familiar with. This person is none other than Ye Anyun.
He is Li Qiaomeng's boyfriend. During the relationship, he did not tell the truth to Li Qiaomeng. Therefore, Li Qiaomeng always thought that he was just an ordinary young master from a rich family who ran some small businesses. After a period of dating, he also saw that Li Qiaomeng was not one of those vain girls. Therefore, I also proposed to visit her home.
However, when he came here today, he was really taken aback. In the past, he seldom heard Li Qiaomeng mentioning family affairs, and coupled with Li Qiaomeng's behavior, he always thought that Li Qiaomeng's family background was average. Unexpectedly, it turned out that the family was also wealthy. Although I haven't heard of it in the imperial capital, it should be considered pretty good.
In fact, this is also good, and when the time comes to bring it up with my parents, I won't get too strong opposition.
In the living room—
"Qiaomeng, this is your home!" One of the girls, Zhao Meiyu, who is also Li Qiaomeng's good friend, couldn't help sighing after entering the villa, "I really didn't notice it in normal times! So you are a rich second generation!"
Before, in school, Li Qiaomeng's food and clothing expenses were very ordinary, even a little frugal. I thought her family background was quite ordinary, but now it seems that it is not the same thing at all! If you can buy such a villa in the central area of the imperial capital, it is absolutely impossible for an ordinary family. Visually, this villa may cost hundreds of millions of dollars. Even if it is bought with a loan, the down payment will be tens of millions!
"Who knows if it was rented!" Another girl, Dong Qiuyi, had a sour look on her face, "If she is really so rich, why didn't she want to reveal her family background before? Also, why didn't she come home to live during the holidays? The house is so close, why did she stay in the school during the holidays?"
As soon as these words came out, people who didn't think there was anything wrong at first, now had doubts in their hearts.
Facing the gazes of everyone, Li Qiaomeng felt a little heartbroken, but the expression on his face remained unchanged, "Actually, I just bought this villa not long ago. Our family is not here, but because I am about to graduate and want to stay here in the imperial capital, so my family bought this villa. But now, only me and my mother live in this villa."
At this moment, in her heart, she had already cursed Dong Qiuyi countless times. In normal times, Dong Qiuyi has always been against her, seeing that she doesn't like everything. Dong Qiuyi was invited here today to show off. Unexpectedly, Dong Qiuyi directly questioned her.
"Don't you have any servants here?" Another girl, Yue Ruyi, took a look and said curiously, "This villa is so big, it would be very laborious to clean it."
"I didn't hire a servant." Li Qiaomeng had already anticipated all the questions, so she could answer fluently, "Actually, our family used to be very difficult. It was also in the past few years that my dad started some small businesses, and life gradually improved. Therefore, our family is also used to hardship, and we are also very frugal on weekdays."
"However, on weekdays, we still hire part-time workers. Otherwise, it would be too troublesome to clean up."
After hearing Li Qiaomeng's explanation, no one became suspicious.
"Qiaomeng, isn't it good that your mother is the only one preparing dinner?" Ye Anyun looked at Li Qiaomeng and asked, "Should we help?"
"Hey, this is feeling sorry for the future mother-in-law!" Another boy, Zhou Gu, booed, "Then hurry up and help, so as to leave a good impression!"
This Zhou Gu is Ye Anyun's roommate, and he came here today to join in the fun. Because if only Ye Anyun came here, he would feel uncomfortable, so he brought him along.
"That—" Li Qiaomeng's face turned pale, and she glanced nervously in the direction of the kitchen. After finding that there was no movement, she breathed a sigh of relief and continued, "Actually, I haven't told my mother that I have a boyfriend. My parents think that I should focus on my studies now, and I have to wait until after graduation to talk about love."
"So, don't talk nonsense today." Ye Anyun warned, "Otherwise, I won't let you go."
Li Qiaomeng had already explained this matter to him before coming here. Although he was a little unhappy, he still agreed. Now that he has agreed, he will naturally not violate the promise today.
Moreover, he also likes Li Qiaomeng very much, and he also thought about having a future with him. Today, I saw the invaluable qualities in the other party. Even if the family is rich, they are very low-key and frugal on weekdays. This is something that the famous daughters of the imperial capital never possessed, and it is also what attracts him.
Seeing that Ye Anyun seemed unhappy, everyone stopped talking.
"Qiaomeng, your house is really big!" After looking around, Zhao Meiyu smiled and said, "Can you show us around!"
"Yes!" Li Qiaomeng said generously, "Where do you want to go to see it?"
"Can I go to your room and have a look?" Yue Ruyi took a look at Li Qiaomeng before saying, "Speaking of which, I don't have any rich people around me. So, I want to see what the rich lady's room looks like, is that okay?"
"Of course." Li Qiaomeng said with a smile, "However, you may be disappointed, it's just a very ordinary room."
While speaking, she got up and was about to take someone to the room. Originally, she planned to take them to Mrs. Zhuang's room. But, thinking about it later, isn't that weird. After all, although the room was not small, it was obviously not a big room. Moreover, it doesn't look like the room of a lady from a rich family.
So, in the end, she decided to take a group of people up to Ye Leng'an's room on the second floor. She glanced in the direction of the kitchen without any trace, and after confirming that Mrs. Zhuang would not come out suddenly, she led everyone upstairs. However, Ye Anyun and Zhou Gu did not go upstairs together. After all, it is a girl's room, and it is not suitable for the two boys to go to see it together.
Soon, the group arrived at Ye Leng'an's room on the second floor.
As soon as they entered the room, the three women couldn't help being amazed. Even Dong Qiuyi, who has always been at odds with Li Qiaomeng, couldn't help sighing after seeing such a room.
"Qiaomeng, your room is really big!" Zhao Meiyu and Li Qiaomeng have a good relationship, so she treated herself as an outsider at all, and sat down on the bed directly, "I think this should be the best room in the whole villa. Your parents are so kind to you, and they left you the best room."
Hearing such words, Li Qiaomeng was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Actually, I will stay in the imperial capital alone. My parents prefer to stay in my hometown. Besides, the business of the family is all in my hometown. That's why I left this room to me."
She almost forgot that Ye Leng'an was the only owner of this villa, so Ye Leng'an lived in the best room. However, in general families, such rooms are reserved for parents.
"Li Qiaomeng, you are really strange." Dong Qiuyi was very jealous, and couldn't help but sneered, "You said that your family is so rich, and there is a whole cloakroom in your room with brand-name clothes. Why haven't you seen you wearing these clothes when you are in school?"
No matter how she looked at it, she felt very strange. How did Li Qiaomeng become the lady of a rich family? There is nothing special when it is normal. However, this villa can't be fake!
Although just now, she satirized Li Qiaomeng, saying that the villa might be rented. But, in fact, she was very clear in her heart. If there is money, a person who buys such a villa with such a luxurious decoration is not a person who is short of money at all, and naturally it is impossible to rent out the villa.
Besides, apart from the villa, there are so many beautiful clothes in this room, and those jewelry boxes on the dressing table, they cannot be faked.
Could it be that Li Qiaomeng was too low-key in normal times?
"Yes! If I had so many beautiful clothes, I would never repeat the same one every day." Zhao Meiyu said carelessly, "Qiaomeng, you really don't look like a rich lady at all!"
Zhao Meiyu's unintentional words were like a knife piercing into Li Qiaomeng's chest, making her feel a pain in her heart.
However, even so, she still tried her best to conceal her inner panic, and said with a smile, "Didn't I already say it just now? It's only been a few years since our family became rich, so I'm actually more used to the previous life. Some living habits are not so easy to change."
The others didn't say anything, so they accepted this statement.
Others wanted to look at the jewelry on the dressing table, but Li Qiaomeng didn't bother, so she made an excuse and led them downstairs.
That's right, she did bring someone in while Ye Leng'an was not around. However, she was still not courageous enough, she was afraid that if something happened to those jewels, she would not be able to bear the responsibility.
Although she didn't understand the value of those jewels, she could tell that they were definitely worth a lot. She dared not take such a risk.
The three of Zhao Meiyu were actually a little unhappy in their hearts, because they felt that Li Qiaomeng's behavior was simply looking down on them, so they were afraid that they would touch her jewelry. However, this is someone's house after all, and the things are really expensive, so they can't say anything, so they can only follow them downstairs.
After going downstairs, Li Qiaomeng couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief when she saw that Mrs. Zhuang hadn't come out yet. Because she was also worried that if her mother knew that she was carrying her up to the second floor, she would be too anxious and say something, it would be bad.
"Why so fast?" Zhou Gu was a little surprised, "I thought it would take at least half an hour for you guys to go downstairs!"
"She doesn't like us staying in her room for too long." Dong Qiuyi said eccentrically, "She is afraid that we will damage her things."
"Nothing." Li Qiaomeng said with a smile, "I was afraid that you two would be bored downstairs, so I came down early to chat with you!"
"So we are bored!"
Although Zhou Gu said this, Zhou Gu smiled ambiguously, and his eyes were turning between Ye Anyun and Li Qiaomeng. It wasn't until Ye Anyun cast a warning look that he restrained himself a little.
Everyone sat down and chatted again.
Zhao Meiyu asked curiously, "Qiaomeng, what kind of business does your family do? Your father is really amazing to be able to grow so big in just a few years."
Facing Zhao Meiyu's sudden question, Li Qiaomeng was almost stunned. A flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and then she said with a smile, "It's the medicinal material business. A few years ago, I accidentally obtained a very precious medicinal herb on the mountain. Later, when I got capital, I slowly expanded the business."
When she finished speaking, she couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.
"So that's how it is!" Zhou Gu nodded, and then said casually, "No wonder you have a pharmacy at home! The medicinal materials in it are really complete!"
"Pharmacy?" After hearing Zhou Gu's words, Li Qiaomeng's breathing stopped for a while, and then she raised her head suddenly, her expression not very good, "Did you go into that pharmacy?"
As soon as she heard about the pharmacy, she remembered what her mother had said before, Ye Leng'an ordered that no one else be allowed to enter the pharmacy. Although she was very curious about the pharmacy in her heart, she never dared to take half a step.
"Yeah!" Seeing Li Qiaomeng's face changed drastically, Zhou Gu didn't know if he had done something wrong, and he quickly explained, "I didn't break in on purpose. Just now, I just wanted to go to the bathroom and found the wrong place, so I accidentally went in. However, as soon as I saw the wrong place, I came out immediately."
In fact, he didn't think it was a big deal. Although it was wrong for him to walk around without his master's consent, it was also an accident. Moreover, he didn't enter the pharmacy, he just pushed open the door. When he found out that he had gone wrong, he immediately closed the door and left.
"It's okay." Li Qiaomeng smiled reluctantly, "It's just that the pharmacy was renovated by my father. He said before that even if I have nothing to do, don't go in. He is more precious to his medicinal materials."
Zhou Gu didn’t even go in, so he should be fine. Moreover, Leng'an is not here this night, so he definitely won't know. So, she should not think too much. It would be bad if there were any mistakes in time.
"So that's how it is!" Zhou Gu scratched his head and smiled sheepishly, "I'm really sorry, I didn't even know there was such a taboo in your house. But don't worry, I really didn't go in."
"It's okay." Of course, Li Qiaomeng couldn't blame the other party, so she could only smile and say, "Those who don't know are not guilty! However, I hope you don't mention this matter in front of my mother. She listens to my father very much, so she doesn't like others entering the pharmacy without permission."
After hearing Li Qiaomeng's words, the others expressed that they would never slip up when they waited.
Soon, everyone chatted again. However, although Li Qiaomeng couldn't see it on the surface, she didn't know why in her heart, and she felt a little flustered.
On the other side, Ye Leng'an, who is far away in Paris, is currently looking at the auction items below, and seems a little lacking in interest. The seven-star flower has not yet reached the auction time, and she has no interest in the current auction items.
Suddenly, as if she had sensed something, her laziness disappeared immediately, and she sat up with a cold light in her eyes.
Huangfu Ruiling on the side immediately noticed the change in Ye Leng'an, "What's wrong? Did something happen?"
