A world where love reigns supreme? This is truly chaotic!

"Whose child is this? Do I know her?" Yan's mother had completely lost her appetite, her attention drawn to her precious daughter's words, and hurriedly asked.

Seeing her mother's anxious face, Yan Xingmeng smiled faintly and savored the moment. Then she would say a few more words to her mother to make her anxious. Humph, who told her that her mother only came back once in so long? This was her punishment.

Her unusual behavior surprised even the new maids around her, but the old servants were not surprised at all; it was too common. The mistress would even worry so much that she would go to the young lady's room to sleep at night. At first glance, the mother and daughter's relationship seemed to be that of a strict mother and a well-behaved daughter, but as time went on, it became clear that the two were more like best sisters than mother and daughter, the kind of relationship where they would share a bed and chat all night long.

"No, Mom, you've never seen him before."

"What about his parents?"

“His family is a bit better off than the average family, but…” Yan Xingmeng looked at her mother and softened her tone, “This is the first time I’ve ever liked a boy this much, Mom…”

The overwhelming emotion emanating from her daughter startled Yan's mother. "Is this...is this still my daughter?"

At this moment, in the corridor outside the dining room, Yan's father got off work early today. Hearing that his wife was back, he rushed to the dining room. His wife has always been responsible for the main expenses of the family and is the absolute economic force. As for himself, he is almost sixty years old and is still henpecked. Who told him to finally meet his first love after all the twists and turns? He is completely under his wife's thumb.

As he arrived at the dining room, he heard the faint sounds of a mother and daughter chatting inside. A smile appeared on his lips, and the fatigue from work suddenly lessened considerably.

Then Yan's father opened the door.

"Yes, my dad is very supportive of me dating."

Yan's father closed the door.

Phew, he still wants to live two more years.

……

"Going home, going home," Guangchang muttered to himself. He had just finished an hour of studying and was packing up to go home. He picked up his bag. He had always followed the routine of going out for a big meal once a week with Nuanxin, and occasionally Qianwen would join them when she was free. However, for the past week or so, he had been holding back from going out to eat because of the final exams. He and Nuanxin had decided to have a good meal on the night the exams ended, channeling all the pent-up desire for food into motivation for studying. This was their last push for the semester!

Chen Nuanxin had no choice but to agree, and they all went home as usual today.

While packing his schoolbag, Guang Guangchen found a strange thing. Oh, that check for one hundred million yuan! Hey! Honestly, Guang Guangchen didn't really want it. It was just that the young lady had lost control of her emotions and dropped it from her hand. Guang Guangchen picked it up when he saw it and then kept it in his schoolbag. Plus, he was busy with his studies and forgot about it.

Hmm...would it be safest to just tear it up? Or should I return it to the young lady tomorrow? Thinking back, the young lady actually shouted that she wanted to give me a hundred million to be her boyfriend. Hmm~ that kind of dream is a famous scene no matter how you look at it. Do I really have that much value?

Guangchang Chen closed his eyes and nodded, indulging in a little self-admiration. Why? Someone was willing to pay a hundred million just to have him, so why couldn't he indulge in a little self-admiration? If his father knew about this, he would jump up and down on the spot. A hundred million? Even if his whole family emptied their pockets, they wouldn't have a hundred million. If he really took it, given his father's personality, then the question of who would be whose father in the future would be up for debate.

It's just a thought; guys, it's perfectly normal to fantasize sometimes.

He then went to the garage, picked up his car, and just as he was about to get in, he noticed the right rear window of a luxury car parked at the school gate slowly rolling down. He immediately saw Yan Xingmeng sitting inside, sticking her head out and waving at him with a smile.

Oh?

Guangchang was successfully "arrested".

"Boss, why are you standing here without moving?" Chen Nuanxin walked out and asked curiously.

Then Chen Nuanxin looked at the luxury car.

Chen Nuanxin was successfully "arrested".

……

An hour later, the group arrived at a high-end restaurant for a meal. However, Guang Guangchen did not sit at the same table as Yan Xingmeng. Yan Xingmeng and Chen Nuanxin sat at a table not far away, while Guang Guangchen sat at the same table as Yan Xingmeng's mother. Um... is that right?

Guangchang Chen looked away and saw Yan Xingmeng not far away, turning her head to look at him with a smirk. So it was you who took the initiative to do it, wasn't it?

"Your name is Guang Guangchen, right?" Yan Ma's voice was calm and steady, the kind of elder that would make Guang Guangchen shudder and immediately sit up straight.

Guangchang Chen withdrew his gaze, straightened his back, his expression turned serious, and said, "Yes, hello Auntie."

Nodding politely, he looked at Yan Xingmeng's mother, who was clearly a strong woman. He recalled that Yan Xingmeng had the motivation to inherit the group and wanted to become a person like her mother, a true leader of a large enterprise. Therefore, Yan Xingmeng was always very serious when she needed to be at school, and she wouldn't be distracted even if he sat next to her. It seemed that she was greatly influenced by her mother.

As for Yan's mother, she looked the young man up and down. He was only good-looking, and her family background was also thoroughly investigated. He was just average. His academic performance at school was average, and he had no special talents. His only skill seemed to be socializing, but he had made many friends through her daughter's connections. This gave Yan's mother a lot of reason to suspect his intentions.

"To put it bluntly, you should know that Xingmeng is going to inherit the group in the future, right?" Aunt Yan said.

"Ok, I know."

As he spoke, Guang Chen looked away and noticed that Nuan Xin and Yan Xingmeng had already started eating. Yan Xingmeng was still turned away, holding a cut steak with a fork, which kept waving in his line of sight. Damn it... I'm hungry too.

"Since you know that, you should understand that there is absolutely no possibility between you and Xingmeng. You know what I mean, right?"

"Ah."

Guang Chen gave a casual reply, but his gaze was still fixed on that side. Yan Xingmeng gently raised her head, placed her right hand on the back of the chair, and leaned her upper body up in a slightly playful manner, ignoring what was happening around her and who was passing by, just staring at him like that.

Despite the circumstances, Yan Xingmeng maintained a good mood, seemingly unconcerned about what might happen today.

"Ha... You seem to be a very well-behaved child. Xingmeng has a very bright future ahead of her. You shouldn't waste such precious time in high school on romance."

As soon as he finished speaking, Guangchang Chen, who had been secretly looking away, suddenly trembled and immediately turned his gaze back, staring straight at Yan Ma in front of him. He then extended his right hand towards her. Yan Ma was puzzled, but after hesitating, she extended her right hand and shook hands with him briefly.

What does this child mean by suddenly doing this?

"We're like-minded! Auntie! That's what I think too! There aren't many people who think like this these days. Auntie, you're the one who truly contributes to society!" In a world where romantic ideals run rampant, someone like Yan Xingmeng's mother is clearly an anomaly. Not only is she highly educated, but she's also very clear-headed. Guang Chuanchen's eyes were practically overflowing with admiration.

Mother Yan was quite confused. She couldn't understand the young man's words and actions. Her daughter had told her that the two liked each other, so why hadn't she seen him show any sign of resistance?

Suddenly, Yan's mother recalled the characteristics of the boy she had mentioned to her daughter during their bedtime chat last night. Her daughter said he was quite special and suggested that if she wanted to try it, she should use that trick.

That move...

With a stern face, Yan's mother reached into her bag and pulled out a stack of checks. She took out a pen, quickly scribbled the amounts on the checks, tore them off with a crisp sound, and then placed them on the table, pushing them towards Guang Yuchen little by little. She lowered her voice and said, "Here is five million. Consider it your breakup fee. Please leave my daughter."

The moment she finished speaking, Yan's mother's attention was fixed on the young man's face, wanting to see just how different he was. Would he be unwilling to accept it? Or would he really be greedy and take the money? Five million was undoubtedly a huge sum of money for a high school student. Of course, if he was even more greedy, Yan's mother wouldn't mind taking out another five million to let her daughter see the true character of this young man.

So, what exactly will happen?

Mother Yan waited, but what happened next was something she could never have imagined...

The young man in front of them twitched his nose, looking like he was trying to suppress a laugh. It wasn't that he was unwilling or greedy; he was actually laughing.

That is why ah?

Mother Yan simply couldn't understand it!

185. I am the pursuer.

"Is it too little?" After a long while, these words finally escaped from Aunt Yan's mouth. She could only understand it to be like this. Then she sighed softly and continued, "Being too greedy will only lead to losing everything in the end."

After saying that, she picked up the pen again, wrote another check for five million, and pushed it to Guangchang again. This was her final bottom line.

Greed knows no bounds.

Aunt Yan had hoped that after her admonition, she would see the young man show some of his usual restraint. However, when she pushed out the second check, the young man's suppressed laughter became even more obvious. He pursed his lips tightly, his gaze neither on her nor on the two checks, but instead looked away to the side.

I don't understand at all...

However, from Guangchang Chen's perspective, he was indeed about to burst out laughing, simply because this was far too classic a plot! A rich mother, the familiar one who pays her daughter to leave, domineering and condescending—honestly, she was exactly the image of a mother Guangchang Chen remembered, except for the fur coat she was wearing. Interesting…

In addition, Guang Chen's threshold has indeed been raised by the young lady. When that 100 million yuan check was thrown at him, he was so shocked that he was seeing stars. He resisted the temptation of 100 million yuan, so now he seems to think that 5.1 million yuan is just average.

They've become arrogant; that's what it means to become arrogant.

Guangchang Chen turned his gaze back to Yan Ma, wondering if there might be a third round of attacks.

Originally there was none.

But Guang Chen was just too special, and Yan Ma couldn't grasp his temperament for a while. So she simply added an item out of thin air according to the plan, which was a third check. Instead of five million, it was a new check for ten million! The total amount was twenty million!

When Aunt Yan closed the pen cap, it meant the farce was over. If he still wasn't willing to accept this, she wouldn't add any more. She hoped this young man would think it over.

"Twenty million, please leave my daughter."

Looking at Guangchang again, she found he was no longer smiling. Was he starting to get serious? Had she begun to test his bottom line on the amount he wanted? Was he planning to ask for even more? Who could possibly do that?

As Yan Ma made random guesses in her mind, she saw Guang Changchen across the table slowly push a new check that she had never seen before in front of her with both hands.

"Here is one hundred million. Please leave your daughter."

Ok?

For a moment, it seemed like Yan Ma was hallucinating. One hundred million? What was this young man saying? Her gaze fell on the check, and when she picked it up, she saw that it was actually real, and everything looked very neatly written.

The next second, two taps came from not far from her table, followed by uncontrollable laughter and approaching footsteps. Yan's mother then saw Yan Xingmeng, who was laughing so hard that tears were streaming down her face, walk to the two of them at the table and wipe the corner of her eye with the tip of her right index finger.

"Okay, that's enough. Nuanxin, come and eat with us." Yan Xingmeng felt the conversation could end now, and her mother should be able to fully grasp the special nature of this boy. She looked at Chen Nuanxin, who was eating her meal, raised her hand to signal her, and walked over with her tray.

"Mom, please come inside and sit down," Yan Xingmeng said with a smile, her eyes narrowed.

Yan's mother stared at her daughter, then let out a soft breath and moved further inside. Once Yan Xingmeng was seated, she immediately leaned closer, looked at the valuable 100 million yuan check, and asked, "Did Xintong give this to you?"

"Yes, you guessed right."

“Only Xintong would give you this much money, Mom. This check is really cashable.” Yan Xingmeng then took the check back from her mother, held it between her index and middle fingers, and handed it back to Guangchang. “Take it and remember to return it next time.”

"Of course I know, after all, it's a hundred million." Guangchang chuckled and took back the check.

The two girls' back-and-forth banter left Aunt Yan increasingly bewildered. She glanced at the girl across the table, who was completely oblivious to everything around her, engrossed in her food. What was going on with this girl...?

"Were you joking just now?"

Guangchang looked at Yan's mother and replied, "Auntie, you were joking first. Isn't this turn of events quite dramatic?"

"Didn't you expect me to actually take that 100 million yuan? After all, it was just a verbal promise."

"Huh? That's impossible. If that were the case, the president would have helped me steal the check back, right? Look." Guangchang flicked the check in his right hand. See, it's back now.

"Oh yes, there's no chance anymore." Yan Xingmeng smiled brightly and turned to look at her mother.

It's clear that Yan Xingmeng is genuinely happy today, without any worries whatsoever. From the very beginning, she saw this as nothing more than a source of amusement. Even when her mother suggested meeting the young man, Yan Xingmeng thought it would be quite fun, without any real concern that the two of them wouldn't get along.

Looking at her daughter, who was completely siding with outsiders, Yan's mother had nothing to say. This was originally a little plan she and her daughter had devised to see if this young man would be driven by money. But now, although she didn't quite understand his mental state, he still refused the money. Yan's mother was a person who liked results, so it seemed that he was not bad and had room for development.

However, he was still a long way from his daughter.

Wait, Xintong? Only then did Aunt Yan realize what was going on and asked with slight surprise, "The Xintong you just mentioned, is she the little girl from the Jiang family?"

The relationship between the Yan family and the Jiang family is exceptionally good. Just by looking at how the girls from both families painstakingly devise the rules for their birthday parties every year, you can see that the girls from both families are very close. Mother Yan understands this; they are both competitors and friends.

"Yes, mother."

"Why did the Jiang family's daughter give him so much money?" Aunt Yan asked curiously, after all, the amount was simply too large.

“Because Xintong likes him too, Mom,” Yan Xingmeng replied without hesitation.

The air fell silent instantly, with only Chen Nuanxin still busy eating.

Mother Yan was completely shocked. She knew that the Jiang family's daughter had transferred to Xingmeng School, and the two had such a good friendship, which made sense. But now her daughter was saying that the Jiang family's daughter also liked this young man? So... that's why she gave him 100 million?

"Huh? Why are you so shocked, Mom? You seem to have misunderstood something. Your daughter is the one pursuing you now." Yan Xingmeng pointed to herself generously and said happily.

What happened next, Yan's mother couldn't hear anymore. She only felt that the world had gone a bit crazy, including all sorts of people around her. In the end, the person she liked and married was someone she found very surprising. No, perhaps it shouldn't be said that way. Back then, the fact that she married her child's father was also quite unbelievable in other people's eyes. It was just a strong impulse...

His gaze shifted back to the greedy girl in front of him, who was eating steak in big bites. As if noticing his gaze, the girl paused her eating, tilted her head back, and grinned at him.

The upper teeth were covered in parsley bits.

……

"Have a safe trip then." Yan Xingmeng waved goodbye, but she wasn't inside the car; she was outside. Instead, she was saying a heartwarming goodbye to the person who was giving her a ride home, while she herself still had a long way to go with Guang Shanchen.

"Bye-bye." Chen Nuanxin, who had eaten her fill, had a satisfied smile on her face. She rested her head on the rolled-down car window. Having eaten too many carbs, she was already feeling sleepy. She closed her eyes and her face gradually became flat.

The vehicle then started moving, and the two parties temporarily separated.

As the car rounded a corner, everything fell silent. Sitting in the back seat, Aunt Yan glanced at the young girl. She was quite cute, but she wondered why she was getting so close to that young man. She hadn't said much since they started eating. Could it be... that she was a very shy child?

Chen Nuanxin enjoyed the car's warm interior while the cold air blowing in from outside. The alternation of these two temperatures gave her goosebumps—what a strange experience…

"Don't stick your head out of the window, you know how dangerous that is?" Aunt Yan said sternly.

Chen Nuanxin opened her eyes, then pulled her neck back and obediently rolled up the car window.

Still not speaking? Seems really shy.

Yan's mother felt that she had been too harsh. This was just a sixteen or seventeen-year-old child. In her and Xingmeng's eyes, what happened today was just a small test, but in this girl's eyes, it might not be like that at all. Maybe she was really scared?

"Old He, I remember there's a gift card in the passenger side pocket, right? Stop for a bit and take it out."

“Yes, madam,” the driver in the main seat nodded in response.

Looking at the girl, her two little buns, full of collagen, and her chubby cheeks made her even cuter the more you looked at her.

"Take this gift card later. Most local dessert shops offer a limited amount of desserts that you can redeem each week. If you want some, you can order it at the shop or have it delivered."

Chen Nuanxin, who was still half asleep, was immediately startled when she heard that she was going to receive another gift card. She looked at the aunt with a strong and composed aura and asked in surprise, "Not only are you treating me to a meal, but you're also going to give me a gift? Auntie, aren't you being too nice to me?"

"This is basic courtesy."

"As expected, super-rich people are different." Chen Nuanxin nodded blankly.

At this moment, a question arose in Yan's mind, and it seemed most appropriate to ask this question to the girl in front of her.

"Girl, do you think that young man is a good match for my Xingmeng?"
