Su Meng frowned and looked up at him coldly. “Sir, what’s the matter? If there’s nothing else, I’m going back.”
The man looked at her with a strange expression, which made Su Meng very uncomfortable.
However, she was injured and couldn’t walk very fast. If the man wanted to, he could catch up with her easily. So, it was useless even if Su Meng ran. In that case, she might as well ask the man in front of her directly.
She could feel the man’s ill intentions, but this was the Wei family. Even if the man had any thoughts he shouldn’t have, he probably wouldn’t dare to make a move.
The man smiled and reached out to put his hand on Su Meng’s shoulder, but Su Meng dodged it.
Su Meng took a few steps back and looked at the man with a frown. “Sir, I don’t think we know each other.”
Seeing Su Meng’s reaction, the man smiled and consoled her, “Miss Su, don’t worry. I’m not a bad person, so you don’t have to be afraid. I’m not here to do anything bad to you, but I have something to tell you.”
Su Meng’s eyes narrowed and she said, “Bad people never say they’re bad people.”
The man, “…”
This made sense.
Then, Su Meng said, “You said you have something to do. I’ve asked you so many times already. Just tell me. If you don’t, please make way. I’m leaving.”
Seeing Su Meng’s impatience, the man finally decided not to tease her anymore. “Miss Su, let me introduce myself. My name is Xiao Chen. I’ve been paying attention to you since the banquet started because you gave me a different feeling from the first time I saw you. Later, it was proven that it was indeed the case. At the banquet, you shone brightly. Miss Su, I don’t know if I have the honor to be friends with you?”
“Make friends?” Su Meng repeated.
Xiao Chen nodded to confirm. “Miss Su is a celebrity now. It’s not just me, but many people want to be on good terms with you. After all, there aren’t many feng shui masters as young as you, especially female ones.”
Xiao Chen kept a smile on his face, trying to act like a gentleman, but Su Meng only looked at him up and down and asked, “You’re Xiao Chen? What’s your relationship with Xiao Xiao?”
Xiao Chen had said a lot, but Su Meng’s focus was only on his identity.
The guests at the birthday banquet today were all from the famous big families. Since Xiao Chen’s surname was Xiao, it seemed that he and Xiao Xiao were from the same family.
She took a closer look at Xiao Chen’s appearance and it seemed that he really did have a lot of similarities with Xiao Xiao.
Sure enough, Xiao Chen replied, “Oh, Xiao Xiao is my sister. She’s part of the reason why I came to find you. I’m really sorry, my sister has been spoiled by the family since she was young, and she does everything according to her mood. I apologize on her behalf for offending you today.”
Then, he looked at Su Meng carefully and asked, “Miss Su, you don’t look well. Are you feeling unwell? Do you want me to take you to the hospital?”
“So you’re Xiao Xiao’s brother. No wonder you two look so similar. I accept your apology. If you have nothing else, I’ll take my leave first. I still have things to do, so I won’t be accompanying you.” Su Meng nodded at Xiao Chen and wanted to leave.
But Xiao Chen once again extended his arm to block Su Meng’s path. Su Meng stopped and frowned slightly, looking at Xiao Chen in confusion. “Mr. Xiao, it’s not gentlemanly to block the road again and again. Is this your sincerity in wanting to be friends with me?”
Su Meng’s voice turned cold and she was getting impatient.
Xiao Chen quickly explained, “Miss Su, please don’t misunderstand. I don’t mean anything else. Actually, my company is looking for a feng shui master to help look at feng shui, but after looking for a long time, I don’t know who is reliable. Now that I know that Miss Su is such an amazing feng shui master, I wonder if I have the honor to invite you?”
Afraid that Su Meng would reject him, Xiao Chen added, “Don’t worry about the payment, Miss Su. I will pay you higher than the market price.”
Xiao Chen looked at Su Meng with a smile. Before he came out, he had heard from Wei Xue that Su Meng loved money. As long as she had money, she would do anything.
Although he didn’t understand why Su Meng, as the Young Madam of the Wei family, was so short on money, it was a good thing for him. He could use money to get Su Meng back.
