Translator: Dragon Boat Translation      Editor: Dragon Boat Translation

Song Fan went to the cruise ship and hasn’t returned home yet. The four brothers waited anxiously in the living room. Song Chuan, holding the phone, said, “I called little sister, but it says she’s not in the service area. I don’t know where she went.”

“Where could she go? I’ve sent people out to find her, but there’s still no news,” worried Song Ting.

Song Fan always went wherever she pleased, and they had no idea about her usual whereabouts. They could only wait anxiously in the living room, watching the sky darken.

At this moment, Meng Xia came down with tea, placing a cup in front of each of them. She said, “This is a calming tea. Seeing my brothers looking so uneasy, I thought having a drink might help. Sister will probably be back soon, so brothers don’t need to worry too much.”

After saying these words, she left. It seemed like she just brought the tea over. If it was Song Yin, she would want to continue the conversation.

However, none of them touched the tea in front of them. Meng Xia was Meng Yu’s niece, and they had to be cautious around her.

Meng Xia naturally noticed that they didn’t drink, but she didn’t care.

She was naturally designated as a person by Meng Yu’s side. Regardless of how hard she tried to please, she wouldn’t gain their trust. She only needed them to think she was harmless.

If anything happened in the future, she could easily push the blame onto Meng

She wasn’t a naive child anymore. Although Meng Yu promised to marry her into a wealthy family, promises were no different from empty words until they were fulfilled.

Moreover, Meng Yu could easily abandon even her biological daughter. Meng Xia, as a niece, wouldn’t be held in any higher regard. If something happened, she would probably be the first one discarded.

So, she needed to have her plans. Even if she separated from Meng Yu’s support, she could still achieve her goals.

As for the marriage candidates Meng Yu provided, she hadn’t shown interest in any of them. Living off a rich second-generation person who only knew how to squander money wasn’t reliable. If they also had hobbies like gambling, it would undoubtedly lead to financial ruin.

Meng Xia had decided not to marry for the rest of her life unless it was to a perfect husband.

Meng Yu was unaware of Meng Xia’s thoughts. She was entirely focused on searching for a suitable person from a prominent family to expedite the marriage process.

Compared to Meng Xia’s innocence, Meng Yu was more practical. She knew her niece’s identity wouldn’t be highly regarded by wealthy families. She had to rely on the determination of the chosen man to succeed in marrying Meng Xia.

Therefore, other conditions had to take a back seat. The most crucial factor was that the selected person must be someone whose judgment could be clouded by love.

This was the first disagreement between the two. When Meng Xia saw the candidates Meng Yu brought, she couldn’t accept them.

However, she had practiced the art of disguise. Compared to Song Yin, who displayed everything on her face, Meng Xia kept her dissatisfaction hidden. Not even Meng Yu could see that Meng Xia was unhappy.

With joy, Meng Xia picked up the photos of these candidates. In her eyes, there was discernible delight and anticipation. She asked, “Aunt, can I choose from these? Who should I choose?”

“Of course, you can.” Meng Yu saw Meng Xia looking so pleased and said, “These are all wealthy second-generation individuals from A City. They not only come from affluent families but are also good-looking. Moreover, they all have obvious weaknesses in their personalities. As long as you grasp them, you can successfully marry into their families.”

“Then which one should I choose?” Meng Xia asked.

Meng Yu handed over detailed information about these individuals, saying,

“Here is their comprehensive information. Take your time to decide.”

Meng Xia happily accepted it and carefully examined their profiles. When she saw the information about Shen Chang, her eyes lit up. His family was a supplier collaborating with the Gu family. His parents had a long-standing friendship with the Gu family.

Meng Xia was interested in the Gu family. She had always considered herself extraordinary, receiving expensive gifts from her parents.

Her beauty had often drawn admiration, and she possessed intelligence.

Meng Xia believed that with these qualities, she could change her background and become an upper-class person.

She looked up to her aunt as an example, having gone from an ordinary woman to the lady of the Song family.

She wanted to become such a person and live such a life..
