Trapped in a chaotic situation, the little beauty is kissed until she cries every night.

Chapter 31 Dad, how can you be so shameless and not divorce Mom?

Minghua began checking Chu Xingze's messages on the terminal.

As expected of a mermaid superstar who's famous throughout the galaxy, a quick search brings up科普 (popular science) articles.

Mermaid Star is a planet discovered by the Empire three thousand years ago, where people can freely transform between human and mermaid forms.

Just like in mythology, they are born to be the darlings of the ocean, possessing unparalleled power.

At the same time, their singing actually has a healing power, which can slightly alleviate mental irritability, though less so than Jun Yiqing's paintings.

But this was enough to drive the interstellar people, who were suffering from mental chaos, crazy, and Mermaid Planet instantly became an extremely popular tourist destination.

Large numbers of interstellar people flocked there, just to hear the mermaids' beautiful songs.

The result nearly caused ocean pollution, which angered the Mermaid Planet so much that it closed the planet and stopped receiving visitors.

Occasionally, however, mermaids will venture out into the cosmos, yearning for interstellar space.

For example, Chu Xingze, this gentle mermaid who loves to sing, became an instant sensation throughout the entire galaxy upon his appearance.

No wonder they're so crazy.

Minghua raised an eyebrow as she looked at Chu Xingze in the photo, whose outward appearance was gentle but whose eyes were actually filled with aloofness. Should she go and meet the little mermaid?
Just then, Minghua was stopped by someone.

It is a pearl.

Minghua raised her eyes, put down the terminal, and her beautiful, almost dazzling face was fully revealed, but her expression was utterly indifferent.

"What's the matter?"

When Mingzhu saw her face, she couldn't help but think of how the limelight had been stolen by her recently.

Originally, she was brought back from a garbage planet as a stepping stone for herself, but she has stirred up such a huge storm.

She can also play the piano.

Even Mingzhu had to admit that she couldn't play as well as Mingzhu.

What's more, Minghua is also so beautiful.

Witnessing her former suitor confess his love to Minghua in the live stream, even though she looked down on that person, didn't mean she could accept Minghua taking what was hers away.

Now, it's time to teach her a lesson.

Mingzhu curled her lips into a smile, putting on the act of a kind older sister. She even stepped forward and grabbed Minghua's hand, but Minghua dodged it, making Mingzhu even more angry and resentful.

"Huahua, I haven't had a chance to ask you how you've been doing in the school dormitory these past two days?"

“You haven’t been home for the past few days, and your parents are very worried about you.”

"I specially asked the housekeeper to cook a meal tonight. Let's go home and eat together."

"To make up for all the grievances you've suffered outside all these years, Mom and Dad have prepared a special surprise for you—it's wonderful news!"

Mingzhu emphasized it, which was quite deliberate.

Minghua raised an eyebrow, a hint of sarcasm flashing across her face.

A surprise? Good news?
Would Mingchang and Zhuangmei, this couple, really have good intentions towards her? It's more like a wolf in sheep's clothing, upsetting someone with ill intentions.

However, if they don't give themselves away, how can they make a move to break away from the Ming family?

He calmly withdrew his hand from Mingzhu's arms, nodded indifferently, and spoke in a cold voice.

"Okay, I see."

Seven o'clock in the evening
Ming Family Restaurant
Mingchang sat in the main seat, with Mingzhu and Zhuangmei sitting on either side of him.

Minghua sat next to Mingzhu.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Mingzhu kept sharing interesting stories from school, while Zhuangmei and Mingchang would occasionally chime in with a few words.

Throughout the entire process, Minghua was like a transparent person, not saying a word and showing no intention of participating, just eating quietly.

During a break in their conversation, Mingzhu glanced at Minghua, who was silently eating and not engaging in any dialogue with them. She curled her lips and thought, "So what if she's pretty? She can only become a stumbling block for them."

It's good that she can play the piano; it will only increase her usefulness.

Halfway through the meal, the conversation at the table gradually subsided, and Zhuang Mei's scrutinizing gaze slowly fell on Ming Hua. Just as she was about to speak, Ming Hua suddenly slammed down her bowl and wiped her mouth.

"I'm done eating and leaving first."

Their attitude of not taking anyone seriously and leaving right after finishing their meal made their previous deliberate cold treatment seem like a joke.

Minghua simply didn't take them seriously.

Zhuang Mei was instantly furious and spoke sharply:
"stop."

"We prepared a surprise especially for your own good, but look at you, you're nowhere near as good as your sister."

"Hmph, you've become wild as soon as you get back to the main planet. You don't even go home anymore. I should have kept you on that garbage planet for the rest of your life."

“Mom, why are you saying all this? My little sister has been studying hard at school lately,” Mingzhu’s comforting voice rang out.

"Besides, my sister can also play the piano, and she's much better than me."

"Hmph," Zhuang Mei sneered, "What's the use of that? He's still a useless piece of trash with no healing ability."

As he spoke, he took two tickets out of his bag and threw them on the table.

"At the banquet that day, Mr. Zhang took a liking to you and asked you to go to an art exhibition with him the next day."

"President Zhang is one of the most important figures on the main star, and his family's company also has related collaborations with him."

"Minghua, I'm warning you, you better perform well tomorrow. It's your good fortune that President Zhang has taken a liking to you."

Zhuang Mei emphasized that she appeared to be a loving mother who was thinking of her daughter's best interests:

"After all, apart from your face, you have no healing power whatsoever."

"Although Mr. Zhang is a bit older, he doesn't mind that you lack healing power and are caring. Marrying him would be beneficial for both you and your family."

Zhuang Mei thought that Ming Hua would be grateful and agree after she said those words.

Although her and Mingchang brought Minghua back for the sake of the company and to help Mingzhu.

However, she also genuinely felt that Mr. Zhang was the best candidate Minghua could get at this stage.

She waited with a smug look on her face for Minghua to apologize to her, and then she would express her gratitude with emotion.

After a long pause, a sneer broke the silence.

After thinking for a long time, Minghua finally figured out who this Mr. Zhang was.

Oh, so it was that greasy, fat pig who ran up to her asking for her contact information.

Fat, ugly, and wildly entertaining.

Minghua couldn't help but laugh.

Why would Zhuang Mei feel grateful for finding a pig for herself? Is she some kind of stupid person?

I couldn't hold back and blurted it out.

"You said it yourself, Mr. Zhang is such a good person, and his company is in a better position than ours. Although he is older, he is very caring."

"Then Mom, why don't you just divorce Dad and marry him?"

"Dad is such a useless man. He can't compare to President Zhang in terms of company management skills, and he can't compare to President Zhang in terms of caring for people. Oh dear, he's even a year or two older than President Zhang."

"I'm not saying this to be mean, but Dad, how can you be so useless?"

Minghua angrily rebuked, "How can you be so shameless? Why don't you divorce your mother? Stop shamelessly clinging to her and blocking her from achieving a better life."

"Mom, don't worry, even if you and Dad get divorced, I will definitely stand by you."

After Minghua finished speaking, she looked at Zhuang Mei with great conviction.

The three people at the table were all stunned by her explosive remarks.

After a long while, Mingchang's furious voice echoed throughout the hall.

"You unfilial daughter, kneel down before me."
