Gift for First Meeting

Inside the restaurant's private room.

Xia Yueshan sat opposite Lin Yu and Tang Manman. With his arms crossed, he scrutinized the two with an unkind expression.

Both Lin Yu and Tang Manman felt a bit guilty. They looked everywhere else, simply not daring to meet Xia Yueshan's gaze.

Amidst this unbearable torment.

Xia Muzhu finally arrived.

Now that the four of them were sitting together, the atmosphere didn't improve much.

It was still suffocatingly awkward.

The first to lose his patience was Xia Yueshan.

He looked at his older sister and opened his mouth.

Looking at his frustrated and disappointed expression, it seemed he wanted to ask her why she would degrade herself by willingly sharing a bastard like Lin Yu with another woman.

But even the usually thick-skulled Xia Yueshan realized that saying those words out loud would be too hurtful.

So, after parting his lips slightly, he closed his mouth again.

He just glared at her fiercely with a look of profound disappointment.

Xia Muzhu looked a bit timid too, but there was no helping it. At this moment, she was the only one who could speak and had the right to speak.

As for the others, whether it was Lin Yu or Tang Manman, neither had the right to say anything right now.

What right did a cheater and the other woman have to speak?

Weren't they afraid of getting beaten up!

After a long moment of silence, Xia Muzhu sighed softly. Staring at the empty tabletop, she said quietly:

"Xiaoshan, you already know everything."

"This is your sister's own choice."

"I hope you can respect my choice."

Hearing this, Xia Yueshan's eyes widened. However, he didn't glare at his sister, but turned to glare at Lin Yu, who was secretly watching the drama unfold across the table.

"Lin Yu, you bastard, you must have brainwashed my sister."

"I'm going to fucking strangle you!"

Saying that, Xia Yueshan, with a ferocious expression, tried to climb over the table to strangle Lin Yu.

It took everyone quite a bit of effort to hold down the thrashing Xia Yueshan.

Actually, at this point, Xia Yueshan had nothing left to say.

His own biological sister didn't mind Lin Yu having another woman. So, as her younger brother, no matter how inappropriate or reluctant he felt, what use was it?

Damn it.

The more Xia Yueshan thought about it, the angrier he got.

If he had known this would happen, he would never have let a scumbag like Lin Yu get near his sister in the first place...

...

But that wasn't right either.

Xia Yueshan came to his senses.

If it hadn't been for him, his sister would probably have met with a grim fate during that crisis.

So, with things developing to this stage today, could it be that he was the guilty one?

If it hadn't been for his interference back then, his sister and Lin Yu would probably be living their own separate lives in peace by now, right?

But his sister really liked Lin Yu.

If she had just ended things with Lin Yu like that, she definitely would have been unhappy.

But what about now?

Was she happy now?

Why did it feel like she had just escaped the wolf's den only to enter the tiger's lair?

Thinking about it, Xia Yueshan felt a headache coming on. He simply gave up and decided not to care anymore.

Anyway, his sister didn't mind anymore, so why should he insist on meaningless things here?

Forget it.

As long as his sister was happy, that was fine.

After thinking through this mess, Xia Yueshan also sighed softly, speaking as if he had lost all his strength:

"Do whatever you want."

"I don't care anymore."

"You guys do whatever you please."

After saying that, Xia Yueshan pushed his hands against the table and stood up to leave.

"Hey."

"Wait a moment."

Lin Yu raised his hand to stop Xia Yueshan from leaving.

Facing Xia Yueshan's confused gaze, Lin Yu raised his hand to scratch his head and said somewhat shyly:

"Uh, well."

"Sit for a bit longer."

"There's still one more person who hasn't arrived yet..."

"..."

"..."

As Lin Yu's voice faded, the four of them fell into a deathly silence.

Tang Manman and Xia Muzhu both lowered their heads, seemingly unable to bear watching the tragedy that was about to unfold.

Lin Yu's gaze drifted, rubbing his nose guiltily, not daring to look at Xia Yueshan's eyes that were about to spew fire.

Finally, after Xia Yueshan clenched his fists until his knuckles turned white, he couldn't hold it back anymore and lunged at Lin Yu with a roar.

"Lin Yu!"

"I'm going to strangle you to death!!!"

Seeing Xia Yueshan go berserk again, Xia Muzhu hurriedly stood up to stop him and said:

"Xiaoshan, Xiaoshan, calm down!"

"You can't beat him in a fight!"

Xia Yueshan's murderous aura faltered, and then his whole demeanor deflated significantly.

However, he still looked at Lin Yu with eyes full of hatred. That look seemed to say: wait until the day you get old, and we'll settle the score!

Not being able to beat him was one thing.

But Xia Yueshan didn't want to wait around anymore either.

You people can do whatever you want.

I'm out of here.

Xia Yueshan turned and left the private room, walking straight out of the restaurant.

After experiencing such an ordeal today, Xia Yueshan's mood was very complicated.

Just as he was planning to find a place to calm down, his attention was suddenly drawn to a truck parked by the side of the road.

That truck was different from the ordinary trucks you could see everywhere on the street.

Its body was clean, and the paint looked brand new, as if it had just been sprayed on.

The most eye-catching part was the cargo box at the back of the truck.

The cargo box of this truck was actually transparent, looking like a clear box for holding a cake.

Inside the truck's cargo box, many dark pink and light pink balloons tumbled around, looking like a setup for a birthday party.

But none of that mattered.

What attracted Xia Yueshan's gaze the most was the supercar surrounded by the numerous balloons!

It was a blue and white supercar. Its edges were as sharp as a knife, and its curves were like waves. Even without seeing the logo, Xia Yueshan knew that this was absolutely an incredibly expensive supercar!

For a moment, Xia Yueshan stared at it in a daze.

This car was so cool.

It was ridiculously cool!

Just as Xia Yueshan was staring blankly at the supercar, a woman wearing a suit, who gave off the vibe of a butler, walked over.

She stopped beside Xia Yueshan, looked at the young man, bowed slightly, and asked respectfully:

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Xia Yueshan?"

Snapping back to reality, Xia Yueshan looked at the unfamiliar woman in front of him and subconsciously nodded, saying:

"That's me."

"What's the matter?"

After confirming that the person in front of her was Xia Yueshan, the butler-like woman smiled warmly and said with even more respect:

"It's like this. Miss Qing Mo asked me to convey her apologies."

"She is currently abroad, and it might take a few hours before she returns."

After saying that, the female butler took a car key out of her pocket and handed it to Xia Yueshan.

At the same time, she turned sideways and made an inviting gesture with her other hand, palm facing up, her fingertips pointing toward the supercar resting in the transparent cargo box of the truck next to them. She said respectfully:

"This is a meeting gift for you from Miss Qing Mo."

"As for an apology gift for keeping you waiting."

"Miss Qing Mo has made other arrangements."
