Chapter 184 The Prince Saves Cinderella
Chapter 184 The Prince Saves Cinderella
More people means more fun.
The laughter in the backyard never stopped all night, and Shen Li was completely unpretentious and blended in very well.
"Miss, the young lady said the banquet has started and asked you to bring your friends over."
"it is good."
"No, the feast is about to begin, let's all go together."
"okay,"
"Row."
Because of the game, Lin Zhihao's makeup was a little messy, so she went to the dressing room to fix it up before going to He's mother's side.
"Zhizhi is here." Mother He smiled and pulled Lin Zhihao along, introducing her to her friends.
He Manman was taken away by Zhao Zhao to get acquainted with some big shots in the entertainment industry.
"Oh my, Zhizhi is getting prettier and prettier the more I look at her. She looks exactly like you when you were young."
"really?"
"Absolutely, she's got a very pretty face."
"Haha, Zhizhi, this is your Aunt Li, and this is your Aunt Wang."
"Hello Aunt Li, hello Auntie~"
"Wow, goodness gracious, hahaha, this girl is something else, hahaha."
Lin Zhihao was sweet-talking; she would call whatever He's mother told her to call her, and she would even say a few auspicious words, making the group of aunts and grandmothers laugh heartily.
Looking at their glittering bejeweled appearance, Lin Zhihao thought, "It's all about connections, connections!"
He Manman wasn't idle either. Zhao Zhao took her to greet all sorts of famous TV drama directors, film and television stars, and renowned directors.
After one round, He Manman felt like her cheeks weren't even her own anymore.
Zhao Zhao watched as He Manman rubbed her cheeks with both hands and couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Tired?"
"It's alright." He Manman forced a smile.
"Let's rest for a while and go get something to eat."
"Okay." He Manman obediently replied, then went outside to get some fresh air by herself.
Smelling the fragrance of flowers in the air, He Manman felt relaxed both physically and mentally.
"Manman?"
A voice suddenly came from behind.
He Manman turned around in confusion.
Xu Cen was overjoyed to see He Manman looking at him. "Manman, it's me, Mom."
"Is there something you need?"
Xu Cen, like a fly, rubbed his hands together and chuckled, "Manman, hahaha."
"..."
He Manman didn't want to have too much contact with Xu Cen. After all, this nominal mother of the original owner didn't care much about her daughter; instead, she acted like a vampire and had even tried to use the original owner as a favor, sending her away to gain profits for the company.
"If it's okay, I'll leave first."
"Something's up, something's up." Xu Cen grabbed He Manman's arm, a rare fawning smile on his face.
"Manman, you look so beautiful today. Mom is so proud of you."
"I haven't paid enough attention to you before, and I never realized how beautiful and outstanding my daughter is." As she spoke, Xu Cen squeezed out a few tears.
He Manman watched Xu Cen play the emotional card with a blank expression.
"If you're here to talk to me about this nonsense, then I don't have time to play your sentimental games."
"No."
Seeing the indifferent expression on He Manman's face, Xu Cen simply stated his purpose.
"Manman, look." Xu Cen handed a photo to He Manman. It showed a fat man with big ears, licking his lips and squinting at the camera. It was none other than Xu Junwei.
"What do you mean?"
"Hehe, it's like this, I just sent Zhizhi's picture to your uncle, and he really likes it. You know, your uncle is very picky, and it's rare for him to like someone. So, do you think you could help me set Zhizhi up with your uncle?"
"!!"
He Manman's pupils dilated in shock. How dare they? Sister Lin had just come of age, while her uncle was already approaching forty.
"Women, in the end, all need to find a man to rely on for their future. It just so happens that your uncle likes men, so why don't you play matchmaker for them?"
"Although Zhizhi's small frame makes her look like she might have trouble conceiving, there's nothing we can do about it. Oh well, what can you do when your uncle likes her?"
He Manman realized for the first time that people could be so shameless. Despite being a piece of shit herself, she actually looked down on that high-class beauty.
“Manman, say something and show this photo to Zhizhi. Maybe Zhizhi will even take the initiative to pursue your uncle.”
Xu Cen is a typical sycophant. Before she was married, she was brainwashed and believed that men's status was above all else. She was only there to support her younger brother. She was born early to become the older sister so that she could take care of her younger brother from a young age when he was born.
"No way." He Manman refused without even thinking. Putting aside her ugly uncle, she couldn't possibly agree just because of the vast difference between the two families.
Xu Cen was born into a family that favored sons over daughters. Later, she met He's father by chance and rose to become Mrs. He, which brought about a dramatic change in her life. During her time as Mrs. He, she did a lot of things that made her like Voldemort. Although He's father was angry, he was helpless because she was his wife after all.
"Why!" Xu Cen raised his voice.
"Don't let the good stuff go to outsiders." The Xu family line can't end, and since her younger brother likes her, she definitely has to create opportunities for him.
"So you really want to be a money-losing burden? You want the He family line to end with you, don't you?!"
Xu Cen grabbed He Manman's shoulder, his eyes burning with anger.
He Manman also felt her anger level rising rapidly, "Go to hell!"
He Manman slapped Xu Cen's arm away, "Are you ever going to stop? Your Xu family's lineage? Laughable, look at what kind of inferior genes you have!"
He Manman held up a photo of Xu Junwei grinning to He Cen.
"Who are you calling a genetic defector!"
Xu Cen suddenly screamed.
"I'm saying, your entire Xu family! Is full of! Inferior genes!"
He Manman's face clearly showed provocation; she was practically sticking out her tongue.
Xu Cen was furious.
“You’re asking me to help my own family, but they won’t. You’re such a traitor! Humph, you look down on your uncle, but Zhizhi might not be so sure.”
Xu Cen's smug expression was obvious.
"What do you mean?"
Hearing the veiled meaning in Xu Cen's words, He Manman sensed something was amiss.
"Hmph, your uncle has already gone to find Zhizhi. Once Shen Zhihao has met your uncle, it's impossible for her not to like him. Rich people just like the contrast. So what if they're rich? They still like playing the prince and princess saving Cinderella game."
A prince saves Cinderella? So Xu Cen always thought that she was able to win over He's father because of her family's good upbringing? Because of the Xu family's good genes?
But Xu Junwei actually dared to go to Sister Lin?
"You let him in!"
With Xu Junwei's abilities, he is not qualified to enter this place at all.
"Hmph, so what? I'm giving Shen Zhi a chance to meet her destined one."
He Manman's anger had reached its peak, but she had to stay calm because Sister Lin was in danger!
"Where are they?"
"Hmph, now you're showing concern? Never mind that, they're flirting in a very secluded place, hahaha."
"I originally wanted to give you the chance to be the matchmaker, but you're not up to the task. I'll have to wait for your uncle to take the initiative."
"Where are they!" He Manman suddenly approached Xu Cen, who was startled by her expression.
"What are you doing! I'm your mother!"
"Hehe, who do we have here? It turns out it was you."
A woman's voice came from behind the wall where the two were talking.
