Qu Haoxiang looked at Chen Meng’er as if he could not believe what he had just heard. He was not in the mood to pay attention to the situation around him at all. His mind kept replaying what Chen Meng’er said.
“What did you call me just now?” Qu Haoxiang stared at Chen Meng’er without blinking, waiting for Chen Meng’er’s reply.
Qu Haoxiang’s expression pleased Chen Meng’er. Chen Meng’er covered her mouth and laughed. As for Yuwen Jing, he looked at Qu Haoxiang warily, pulling Chen Meng’er behind him.
Speaking of which, Yuwen Jing knew that Chen Meng’er might be the Qu family’s lost child, which meant she was also Qu Haoxiang’s biological sister. However, wasn’t it still unconfirmed? Therefore, before the definite answer came out, Yuwen Jing had no choice but to be wary of Qu Haoxiang.
“Maybe you should wait to find out.” Chen Meng’er gave Qu Haoxiang a mischievous smile.
“Haoxiang, what’s wrong?” Qu Haoqiang and the others were a little far away and did not hear what Chen Meng’er said just now. Moreover, Chen Meng’er deliberately lowered her voice and said it in a voice that only Qu Haoxiang could hear, so, other than Qu Haoxiang, no one else knew what Chen Meng’er said to make Qu Haoxiang have such a big reaction.
“No, it’s nothing.” Qu Haoxiang was just about to answer his cousin when he saw Chen Meng’er winking at him, asking him to keep it a secret.
Out of the blue, Qu Haoxiang actually swallowed the words that were about to come out of his mouth.
How could Qu Haoqiang and the other brothers not know what Qu Haoxiang was like? They could tell with one look that this kid was lying to them. However, with so many people around, it was not appropriate for them to directly interrogate him. Qu Haojie made an expression at Qu Haoxiang, as if he was going to settle the score with him later.
Chen Meng’er had witnessed the little interactions between the Qu brothers. She walked in front of Qu Haocheng, took out a beautifully wrapped box, and handed it to Qu Haocheng.
“Happy birthday.”
“Thank you.” Qu Haocheng was very surprised when he saw the gift that Chen Meng’er handed over. He remembered that both the Green Gang and the Liu family had given him birthday gifts. Moreover, those two birthday gifts were very expensive. He had not expected that the young lady of the Green Gang would actually prepare another gift for him.
Murong Qi had walked over when Qu Haocheng was taking the gift from Chen Meng’er and suddenly said, “Haocheng, open it and take a look. What gift did the young lady of the Green Gang give you? Open it and let us have a good look.”
Qu Haocheng had already prepared to put away the gift that Chen Meng’er had given him. However, Murong Qi’s words made his hand, which was holding the box, freeze.
It was very impolite to open a gift given by someone else on the spot. Qu Haocheng looked at Murong Qi with dissatisfaction. Meanwhile, Qu Haoxiang snapped at Murong Qi. “Murong Qi, why are you everywhere? Do you think anyone would open a gift given by someone else in front of them?” The Qu cousins had always been unimpressed by Murong Qi, only Murong Ying was accepted by them.
Qu Haoxiang had always been annoyed by Murong Qi, who wanted to replace his sister. Every time Murong Qi went to the Qu family and met Qu Haoxiang, Qu Haoxiang would mock her.
Murong Qi was embarrassed by Qu Haoxiang’s words and showed a pitiful look to Qu Haoxiang. Murong Qi had no discernment at all. Her pitiful look might work on the men outside. But to the Qu cousins, it was of no use at all. Instead, it made them even more annoyed.
