“Ajinn, do you still welcome me now?” Li Mei inserted his hands into his pockets, his gaze fixed on Liang Zhi, who, despite being over forty, still exuded charm.

Liang Zhi pursed her lips. Li Mei had been pursuing her since university, and he hadn’t given up until now.

“You’d better get out of here. We don’t welcome you,” Liang Zhi shouted.

“Tsk tsk, I thought you were only with this loser for the money, but it seems your feelings run deep. Quite unexpected,” Li Mei’s smug expression turned dark.

“Although this mansion is ancient, many of its facilities are outdated, and the location is in the outskirts. How about I buy it for a hundred million?” Li Mei extended a finger.

“I will never sell it to you!” Xia Liangmu shouted.

But Li Mei remained unfazed, extending another finger.

“Two hundred million.”

Liang Zhi’s eyes gleamed. She grabbed Xia Liangmu’s arm. “Honey, this is two hundred million. It’s enough to give you a fresh start. Won’t you consider it?”

Xia Liangmu shook his head. While he may not understand business, he knew Li Mei’s intentions. This was just a ploy to humiliate him. Li Mei claimed he wanted to buy the house, but in reality, he wanted to leave them with no place to stay. And even if Xia Liangmu agreed, there was no guarantee he would receive the money.

Most importantly, this mansion was the legacy of the Xia family, built with the sweat of several generations. How could he sell it so easily?

“Three hundred million.” Li Mei extended another finger.

“Honey, please agree. Otherwise, we’ll have no money and have to go to my mother’s house. Are you going to let us be dependent on them?” Liang Zhi urged.

Xia Liangmu clenched his fists, torn between agreeing and disagreeing.

Li Mei sighed, then chuckled softly. “Xia Liangmu, I didn’t expect you to resist temptation.”

“I knew someone as petty as you wouldn’t give me three hundred million.”

This was clearly a humiliation!

Li Mei sneered. “Kneel, and I’ll leave.”

“No, I won’t kneel!”

Li Mei roared, “Guards, make him kneel!”

Two bodyguards restrained Xia Liangmu, ready to force him to his knees, but were interrupted by a clear voice.

“Long time no see, Uncle Li.” While they were arguing, Xia Yanjin, now changed into sports attire, walked down calmly.

“Oh, it’s Xia Yanjin, the niece.” Li Mei smirked.

“Xia Yanjin, what are you doing at my house?” Xia Yanjin lifted her eyes lazily, ready to deal with him.

“I’m here to see your mom,” Li Mei smiled.

“I see. Are you here to witness my parents’ love?” Xia Yanjin retorted.

Li Mei sneered. “Your dad is bankrupt, can your mom still show affection?”

Xia Yanjin raised her clear eyes. “But you’ve been watching their love for almost twenty years. Isn’t it too late for such a comment?”

Li Mei’s face turned purple and green. “Niece, I’m your elder. Please speak respectfully.”

“Respectful?” Xia Yanjin chuckled.

Were you respectful when you came in?

“Uncle Li, I suggest you not get angry. I heard people with weak kidneys don’t look too good.” Xia Yanjin pretended to be serious and concerned.

Weak kidneys? Li Mei choked because Xia Yanjin’s words hit home!!

“Weak kidneys are not good. Otherwise, your wife won’t be happy.”

“I’m not married!”

“Oh, I forgot. Uncle only likes my dad’s wife. You’re really devoted.” Xia Yanjin sarcastically praised him.

“And you’ve come to witness my parents’ love. If you want to start a relationship, Uncle, remember to buy some medicine for weak kidneys. Otherwise, you’ll have no one in the future.”

“You… you…” Li Mei was almost about to curse, but maintained his composure in front of everyone, swallowing his anger.

“Hahaha!” Li Mei mocked, “I wish you success!”

Xia Yanjin smiled. “I also hope Uncle Li gets well soon.”

This prodigal daughter!

Fuming with rage, Li Mei was dragged away by his bodyguards, muttering about Xia Yanjin being kicked out of the Ji family in front of everyone.

“Li Mei, get the hell out of here, and don’t cause trouble at my house again!”

Xia Yanjin’s mother scolded. “Let’s go,” she said, taking Xia Yanjin’s hand. “Our Xia family’s hope is in your hands!”

The Weibo was buzzing with several trending topics again.

Looking at the trending topics on her phone, Xia Yanjin felt a headache coming on. She must have done something in her past life to deserve this journey.

“Ajin, we’re here.”

Getting out of the car, Xia Yanjin looked at the high-end five-star hotel that only the wealthy could afford to visit.

“Why are you still wearing this outfit? What if they see you? It’s not good,” Liang Zhi looked disdainfully at Xia Yanjin’s sports attire.

Xia Yanjin shrugged. “You forced me into the car. I didn’t have time to change!”

The hotel entrance was already crowded with dozens of reporters.

Seeing the Xia family arrive, they swarmed forward.

“Miss Xia, why are you so determined to attend this blind date? Is it because the Xia family is bankrupt and you need a backer?”

“Can I ask Miss Xia for her thoughts on this blind date? Are your scandalous rumors true?”

Without hired bodyguards, the reporters surrounded them.

The three of them had no way out. Xia Liangmu shouted, “Get out of our way.”

Xia Yanjin spotted a social media influencer nearby livestreaming: “Finally saw Xia trash. Everyone, take a look, what do you think? I bet she’ll be kicked out by the Ji family later. Does this kind of trash deserve to be with Miss Ji, a girl of elegance and nobility? Total nonsense.”

The crowd remained in blockade, leaving Xia Yanjin no choice. She grabbed a microphone and snapped it in half.

“If you want to know the consequences, please make way. Don’t block our path.”

The crowd hesitated, then reluctantly made a path.

Xia Yanjin didn’t waste any time. “Let’s go.”

Xia Liangmu pushed open the door to the hotel’s largest private room, and a fragrant aroma wafted out. Xia Yanjin sniffed, sensing the blend of expensive incense and perfume. Surprisingly, it was pleasant, with an intoxicating allure.

Indeed, luxury had its merits.

Golden-white lights cast a warm glow, and silk curtains swayed gently by the windows.

A large table with a few dishes sat in the center, surrounded by a group of people.

Xia Yanjin’s eyes widened. She was here for a blind date, but why were there so many people?

Lan City was the most prosperous city in the country, and the Ji family, located in Lan City, was the most prestigious among prestigious families. The head of the Ji family, Ji Zhiye, had topped the Forbes rich list for five consecutive years, making him the wealthiest man in Lan City.

Xia Yanjin sighed inwardly. No wonder netizens were berating the original host. This was truly a case of reaching for the stars!

“Ahjin, greet Aunt Ji and Aunt Wei.” Liang Zhi nudged her.

“Hello, Aunt Ji, Aunt Wei…” Xia Yanjin trailed off as she noticed something odd. The middle-aged Omega beside Ji Zhiye was his wife.

Right, she almost forgot—this was the ABO world!

“What’s wrong with this child? Why is she silent?” Wei Qin furrowed her beautiful brows. Dressed in a black gown with a gold jade bracelet on her wrist and delicate gold earrings, she exuded the aura of a noblewoman, more striking than Liang Zhi—after all, she was a former movie queen.

“Ah, oh, hello, Aunt Wei.” Xia Yanjin stole a glance at her. Although nearly fifty, Wei Qin’s skin was well-maintained, and she looked nothing like a middle-aged woman.

But it made sense. She had married Ji Zhiye the year she won the Best Actress award, causing a sensation in the entertainment industry. She retired and became a rich lady, truly becoming the CEO’s pampered wife.

“Did you see that? That’s the Miss Xia you saw when you were a child.” Liang Zhi whispered in her ear.
