Those big eyes of Zhen Shanmei had the typical wide double eyelids which were very much like the European-Americans . She had a fair complexion and sexy flaming lips that stood out, thus giving her a fascinating and charming look .

Ning Meng thought about Zhen Shanmei’s beautiful facial features, suddenly realizing something .
Based on the original novel, Ning Meng and Zhen Shanmei were not compatible because they, both being extremely good-looking, had been competing with each other over external beauty ever since they were little as they wanted to be the best-looking person among the youngsters .
Ning Meng had peach blossom eyes that contained their own charm, thus giving her a delicate look, whereas Zhen Shanmei had the gorgeous look .
Ning Meng did not know whether to laugh or to cry .
‘Li Haojie dumped his ex-girlfriend Zhen Shanmei just because he couldn’t stand her being so-called ugly . What would his reaction be when he sees a face like mine?’
Ning Meng suddenly became a little curious about it .
As a repayment for the bag, Ning Meng drove Zhen Shanmei home as an act of courtesy .

The duo talked until they reached the doorstep of Zhen Shanmei’s house . Ning Meng then waited for Zhen Shanmei to enter her own house before driving off .
At the Zhen family’s villa, a middle-aged married couple was standing in front of the French windows while looking in the direction of Ning Meng’s car .
Mama Zhen spoke up .
“Our family always wanted to have nothing to do with the Ning family, not to mention, our daughter, Shanmei, has always been arguing with Meng Meng . I can’t believe that when our daughter got into trouble, the person who stayed by her side was actually Meng Meng . ”
Papa Zhen nodded in agreement . “This young lady Ning Meng managed to help our Shanmei to decide and be willing to break up with that jerk . We now surely owe her a huge favor!”
Mama Zhen then said, “Since the Ning family is having a hard time right now, let us support them financially from now onward . ”
“How then, should we deal with that jerk Li Haojie? If we immediately beat him down, Shanmei may soften her heart for him . However, we can’t just let it be!”
Papa Zhen replied, “At this rate, I can’t help but feel that this young lady Ning Meng will bring us a different form of happiness!”

Huo Group .
It was exactly six in the evening when Huo Beichen got off duty .
He stood in front of the full-body mirror of his office to adjust and straighten his clothes before leaving the office with big strides .
‘Since I’ve already gone over to Ning Meng’s place this morning to tell her that I ain’t angry at her anymore, she should be back in my villa by now . ’
Huo Beichen smiled as he thought about this .
Moreover, his thought about the bowl of tomato egg noodles that he liked made him look forward to going home .
However, he galloped back home only to find his villa dark and empty .

Huo Beichen paused for a moment before he turned on the chandelier in the living room after walking in .
He loosened his necktie and walked toward the sofa to take a seat . He took out his cell phone to make a phone call to his bodyguard, asking, “Is Madam back home yet?”
The bodyguard answered respectfully, “Madam has already returned home an hour ago . ”
Huo Beichen glanced upstairs . “Is she already asleep?”
“No, not yet . The lights in Madam’s bedroom are still turned on . It looks like she is chatting with somebody . ”
Huo Beichen paused, feeling as though something was off . “Which part of the villa is she at?”
The bodyguard answered, “Yuxiu Garden . ”
Huo Beichen did not say anything . His facial expression immediately turned gloomy, and a chill ran down his spine .
Sometime later, Huo Beichen took out his cell phone and logged into his WeChat account . He typed “Where are you” but he then deleted those words without sending the message to Ning Meng .
Finally, he threw his cell phone aside and got up to walk upstairs .
Following Zhen Shanmei’s bitter post-breakup experience, Ning Meng had always been asking Zhen Shanmei to join her shopping outdoors to prevent Shanmei from having nonsensical thoughts by being alone .
Five days later .
The two ladies went for a morning skincare session, leaving the professional beauty salon with tender and hydrated skin .
In the afternoon, Ning Meng took Zhen Shanmei out with her again to buy a bright red dress for herself . Ning Meng then simply let down her curly hair behind her back .
Zhen Shanmei felt a little disinterested . “Why are you dressed up like this?”
Ning Meng smiled . “Please come with me tonight to support Lin Qingbei in a live singing contest!”
Ning Meng’s request left Zhen Shanmei feeling puzzled .
