Before the banquet started, Lin Chi-kai heard the servants say that Hong Lan had arrived.

He was a little surprised. When he went downstairs, he saw her sitting on the long sofa angrily with her arms crossed. Luo Fusheng was sitting next to her in an armchair with a helpless look on his face.

"Lan Lan, Fusheng, why are you here so early?

There's still an hour before the banquet starts. "

Lin Chi-kai said with a smile, breaking the awkward atmosphere in the living room.

Before Hong Lan could say anything, Luo Fusheng said first, "Our family's big miss is angry again."

"Alright."

"Brother Fusheng!"

Hong Lan let out a cry of dissatisfaction and said angrily, "Isn't this all because of you?

You guys are trying to pair me up with Xu Xingcheng. How many times have I said it? I don't like him!

I don't like him!

You guys are so annoying at home all day! "

"Alright."

Lin Chi-kai didn't know how to respond, so he could only change the topic. "Lan Lan, have you eaten?

How about I get someone to bring something out for you to eat? Don't be angry. "

"Alright."

Hong Lan ignored him and continued to shout at Luo Fusheng. "I'm telling you, I don't like Xu!

Xing!

Cheng!

I won't apologize tonight either! "

"Don't even think about it!"

"Alright."

Lin Chi-kai couldn't help but laugh.

He heard from his father that during the banquet last time, Hong Lan stepped on Xu Xingcheng when they were taking a photo together. In the end, they couldn't take the photo together and became a joke to others. At that time, Commissioner Xu's face was very ugly. The old Hong Family probably also felt that his daughter was in the wrong and forced her to apologize today.

"Alright, alright, don't be angry."

Lin Chi-kai called for a servant to bring a few biscuits. "I specially ordered these biscuits. They're cheesy and crispy. Eat a few to cool down."

"Alright."

"Lan Lan, godfather didn't ask you to do anything … It's just that you didn't do it properly last time, so this time I want you to get along with Xingcheng …" Luo Fusheng still wanted to persuade her, but Hong Lan glared at him.

"Sigh!

Why are you all like this?!

Hong Lan was furious.

"... Brother?

Lin Ruomeng walked down the stairs and sized up Hong Lan with some suspicion.

She could hear the commotion in the living room from her room.

"Come, Ruomeng, let me introduce you. This is Hong Lan, Lan Lan. She's the eldest daughter of the Hong Family. Today, she rushed over to our house for dinner.

Lin Chi-kai teased, "Lan Lan, this is my sister Ruomeng. She's finally home, don't bully her, okay?"

"

Hong Lan … Isn't that Xu Xingcheng's fiancée?

But from the sound of it, Hong Lan didn't like Xu Xingcheng … Lin Ruomeng was a little dazed and sad, but she quickly covered it up.

She had a father and brother who loved her, as well as her senior brothers and sisters in the opera troupe. Perhaps she should have listened to her senior brothers. She couldn't afford to offend a young master like Xu Xingcheng.

Hong Lan didn't want to lose her temper in front of strangers, but her face was still very ugly. She reluctantly greeted, "Hello, I'm Hong Lan … You're Brother Lin's sister, right?

I'm sorry, did I disturb you?

I … I … "She pursed her lips, a little angry, but she tried hard to swallow her anger. Her face was very awkward." I can't help it if I disturb you. I … I … I'm sorry, and if you don't know how to do anything tonight, I can accompany you!

"

Lin Ruomeng smiled. She felt that Hong Lan was quite upright. Although her temper wasn't good, putting aside her identity as Xu Xingcheng's fiancée, a young lady awkwardly apologizing and expressing her goodwill looked quite cute.

"Lan Lan is so obedient."

Lin Chi-kai couldn't help but pat her head. "Don't be angry. Tonight is my sister's banquet. Ruomeng will be embarrassed if you're so angry."

"

"I … I …" Hong Lan pouted. "Isn't it because Brother Fusheng and Dad made me angry!

I didn't want to!

My temper isn't that bad! "

"

"Yes, yes, yes."

Lin Chi-kai repeatedly responded.

"Hello."

Lin Ruomeng finally interrupted. She reached out her hand and smiled. "Let's get along well in the future!

I still have a lot of things that I don't know, and I'll have to trouble you with a lot of things in the future. You don't mind, right? "

"

Hong Lan smiled and grabbed her hand with a smug expression. "Of course!" she said.

There's nothing in the Dong River that I, Miss Hong, don't know! "

"Hey, let me tell you about some people that you have to be careful of. Some people always like to play tricks and take advantage of others. Let me remind you, you have to be careful of them later!"

"Okay."

"Okay."

Lin Ruomeng said with a smile.

The two girls quickly changed from gossip to jewelry and became friends in a short while. Lin Ruomeng even took Hong Lan upstairs to see her room.

Lin Chi-kai couldn't help but laugh and made a helpless gesture to Luo Fusheng.

Luo Fusheng sprawled on the single-seater sofa and said to Lin Chi-kai, "Big Brother, you're the one who can handle her. She's been throwing a tantrum at home all day."

"

"Lan Lan has a stubborn temper. I think Uncle Xu didn't take what happened last time to heart. Xingcheng isn't such a petty person. Don't force her to bow down. If she doesn't look good and loses her temper again, wouldn't it be even more awkward?"

Lin Chi-kai advised.

"I can't do anything about it."

Luo Fusheng spread out his hands and shrugged. "Godfather insists on her apologizing, and I can't persuade him."

"

Lin Chi-kai thought for a moment. "How about this, I'll find an opportunity tonight to apologize to Uncle Xu on behalf of Lan Lan. I believe that Uncle Xu isn't such a petty person."

"

Luo Fusheng gave him a thumbs up.

"Let's not talk about Lan Lan anymore. What's up with you recently?

I heard that Fu Long Guan's power has grown quite big, and they've had many conflicts with the places you're in charge of? "

"

Luo Fusheng weakly waved his hand. "I don't know why those little bastards in Fu Long Guan have stopped recently. I'm very bored. I don't have anything to do in Megawatt, and now Ruo Meng isn't singing anymore. Sigh, there's nothing to do."

"

"Ruo Meng won't sing anymore."

Lin Chi-kai said resolutely, "But the troupe she's in will probably reopen, right?"

"Let's not talk about it.

I went to that troupe's entrance and listened to a few songs. There weren't many who could sing. "

Luo Fusheng's face was gloomy. "After listening to the Jiu Sui Hong Troupe, I feel that the songs of the other troupes in the Dong River are not pleasing to my ears."

"

He didn't mention why he was lingering there. Perhaps it was because he had been hoping that a certain girl would return to the troupe and have a 'chance encounter'.

Even after being warned by his adoptive father, he still couldn't get rid of those unclear feelings in his heart. But he knew that it was impossible for him, not in this lifetime …

Lin Chi-kai laughed. "You acting idiot, you'll have to pray for yourself in the future!

Or wait for Jiu Sui Hong to return to the stage. But I heard that his health is really not good. He can't work too hard or get angry, otherwise he might die. If you want to hear him sing, he probably won't be able to sing for long. "

"

He said it coldly, as if he wasn't talking about a human life, but a trivial matter that didn't matter.

"Is Ruo Meng really not going to sing?

Big brother, she sings really well. She's just a little girl, but she sings with such momentum and tone. Sigh, that voice … "Luo Fusheng imitated a few words, gesturing, shaking his head." Wonderful, wonderful. "

"

"She won't."

Lin Chi-kai said with certainty. "I'll find another job for Ruo Meng. She won't go on stage again."

"Sigh."

"Sigh, boring."

"Sigh."

In Lin Ruo Meng's room, Hong Lan excitedly pulled her hand and said, "Anyway, that Young Master Mo really isn't a good person!

It's your first time attending a banquet, you have to be careful of him. "

"Let me tell you, some people look quite nice, but if you're not careful, you'll suffer!"

"Sigh."

After a few words, she felt that Lin Ruo Meng was quite pleasing to the eye. Moreover, Lin Ruo Meng had always been obedient, so she felt that she had to protect her well.

On the other hand, it was also because Lin Ruo Meng was about the same age as her, and she was also a child of the Dong River's three big families.

In the past, she was too lonely. The only daughter of the three big families, Xu Xingyuan, was someone who stayed at home, and the girls who weren't from the three big families fawned over her. She had never made any real friends. Now, she felt that she could be friends with Lin Ruo Meng.

Lin Ruo Meng also felt that Hong Lan's personality was very interesting. Although she spoke rudely and had a fiery temper, she was kind-hearted. Looking at her energetic appearance, she was a girl she had never seen before.

The girls in the opera troupe were all more hardworking than the boys. Other than practicing, they also had to cook and clean. Adding on the fact that they had to go out to earn a living, they had long been polished.

She was also the youngest junior in the opera troupe. No one of her age played with her, and everyone doted on her. However, she still wanted friends.

It wasn't difficult to get along with Hong Lan. She was very pure, and many things could make her happy for half a day as long as she followed her words.

In this period of time, the two of them had already arranged for two afternoon tea and three shopping trips. Hong Lan even said that she would bring her to the Megawatt to sing.

Lin Ruo Meng only wanted to laugh when she heard this, and nodded repeatedly.

Unknowingly, time passed bit by bit. Lin Ruo Meng and Hong Lan ate something to fill their stomachs, and thus, the banquet officially began.

Lin Ruo Meng took a deep breath.

From now on, she was the eldest daughter of the Lin family, Lin Ruo Meng.
