Cheng Xiran stepped forward first and grabbed her who was trying to slip away. "Oh, isn't this my younger sister?"
Cheng Zhiyue thought it was bad, but she couldn't escape either, because Qian Youliang had already walked up.
Qian Youliang was so fascinated by her beauty that he couldn't take his eyes off. He had originally heard from Xiao Qi that Cheng Xiran was extremely beautiful, and he had seen her portrait and thought it was indeed so. But now seeing Cheng Zhiyue, he thought that even though Cheng Zhiyue looked full of disgust, she was still extremely good - looking.
Not to mention that Cheng Zhiyue had a plump and graceful figure, not as thin as Cheng Xiran.
Cheng Xiran noticed his expression. Ignoring Cheng Zhiyue's tugging, she introduced her to him. "Young Master Qian, this is my younger sister, Cheng Zhiyue."
Cheng Zhiyue disdainfully broke free from her and didn't even look at Qian Youliang. She just said coldly, "Cheng Xiran, this is the suitor Mother introduced to you. I don't have your good fortune, and I don't need it either."
She snorted and was about to leave. Cheng Xiran quickly pretended to be aggrieved. "Sister, do you really hate me so much? Besides, Young Master Qian just wants to make friends with you."
Cheng Zhiyue didn't understand what Cheng Xiran was up to, but hearing her say so, she was bound to argue with her. At the same time, she forgot Liu's previous instruction to leave as soon as she saw Qian Youliang.
"Cheng Xiran, can you stop acting like this? It makes me sick!"
Qian Youliang on the side couldn't stand it anymore. He stepped forward and tried to persuade her. "Second Miss, how can you talk to your elder sister like this? She told me a lot of good things about you before!"
Then he rambled on. Cheng Zhiyue didn't have Cheng Xiran's patience. She immediately interrupted him sharply. "Do you think that just because you're the eldest young master of the Qian Mansion, you can forget that you're a good - for - nothing? What right do you have to blame me here?"
Qian Youliang was momentarily speechless and even a little frightened by her.
Cheng Xiran watched the show silently on the side. She wanted to laugh but held it back.
"Cheng Xiran, I wish you two happiness!"
After leaving this sentence, Cheng Zhiyue walked away without even a backward glance.
Even though Qian Youliang had been scolded by her, there was still a look of reluctance in his eyes as he watched her leave. He even stared at her departing back for a long time and kept swallowing.
Cheng Xiran was in a wonderful mood. Seeing that things were developing according to her wishes, her playfulness grew stronger.
She gently comforted him. "Alright, Young Master Qian. Our Zhiyue has always been like this. But actually, she's a very lovely person. You'll know once you get along with her for a while."
"But she's not like you. She dislikes me..." Qian Youliang pouted.
The situation could reverse at any time. Cheng Xiran didn't dare to be vague. She immediately encouraged him. "Think about it. Since she dislikes you, it obviously means she has you in her eyes. Since she has you in her eyes, it means you've succeeded in the first step. Am I right?"
Seeing him nod blankly, a look of relief flashed across Cheng Xiran's eyes. Then she continued, "So next, shouldn't you use some methods to make her notice you? Then you can get along with each other. During this period, you should behave well. Will her attitude towards you change? Then everything will come naturally, won't it?"
Cheng Xiran talked at great length. Fortunately, Qian Youliang understood. He even thanked her repeatedly. "Miss Cheng, I find that we can be good friends. Since so, please help me come up with more strategies to help me win Zhiyue's heart earlier!"
He was full of fighting spirit, which was exactly what Cheng Xiran wanted.
A sneer spread from the corner of her mouth, but she didn't dare to smile too sweetly for fear that this guy would change his mind and take a fancy to her.
The two went to Zui Xian Lou for lunch. Cheng Xiran hardly touched her chopsticks. Even though she was very hungry, she couldn't eat a bite looking at Qian Youliang. After telling him all about Cheng Zhiyue's preferences, Cheng Xiran urged him to wait near the Cheng Mansion tomorrow. The way to deal with Cheng Zhiyue was to cater to her preferences and wait for her like a hunter waiting for his prey.
Even though she thought what she said was a bit absurd, Qian Youliang kept clapping and cheering.
After lunch, Cheng Xiran said goodbye to him at the door of Zui Xian Lou. After he walked away, Cheng Xiran entered Zui Xian Lou again. She found an inconspicuous corner and ordered some of her favorite dishes.
After eating and drinking to her heart's content, she returned to the Cheng Mansion.
But before she could enter the mansion, she felt something was wrong inside. All the furnishings were still the same as before. The servants at the door didn't stop her or say anything, and there were no strange noises from inside.
But somehow, her heart suddenly started beating faster. Coupled with the bad weather, there were occasionally a few drops of rain falling from the eaves. The tick - tock sound was like hitting her heart.
It messed up her thoughts.
But this was her home, the place where she relied on for survival. She couldn't just not go in based on her first instinct.
The servant opened the door, and she slowly stepped in. But what greeted her were two loud slaps in a row.
"Cheng Xiran, you're so bold. How dare you openly frame Zhiyue!"
