Appearance can indeed play a key role at certain times.
Whether same-sex or opposite-sex, mutual attraction is possible.
Who doesn't want to see pleasing people?
Only those with agreeable features are of interest to further explore worldviews.
Otherwise, all the kind people in the world could have found their ideal partners.
Maybe even hardened warriors could get two wives.
Cheng Jing put the dishes in the kitchen and brought over two glasses of juice.
The Wealthy Woman looked around and asked, "You also moved here recently, haven't you?"
Cheng Jing sat beside her and curiously asked, "How did you know?"
"There are no family photos on the walls. Haven't you had time to hang them up yet?"
"No, my family was poor before, and we never took any photos."
Cheng Jing didn't hide it. In the past, being able to eat was good enough, let alone spending money on photos.
The Wealthy Woman said incredulously, "You're too humble. With your temperament and beauty, you look like the wife of a wealthy family. It couldn't have been that bad. What about your husband? Is he often away from home?"
Cheng Jing took a sip of juice and calmly said, "My husband should be...dead by now. Luckily, I have a good son."
"Ah?" The Wealthy Woman was stunned.
Cheng Jing also felt she had misspoken; it wasn't appropriate to say this to an outsider.
"Did I scare you? Actually..."
The Wealthy Woman excitedly clapped her hands. "What a coincidence! I feel like my husband is about to die too."
"Huh?"
This left Cheng Jing speechless.
"Let me tell you, I can talk to you here thanks to my future son-in-law. Without him, my daughter and I would be in trouble."
"I don't know when my son-in-law will get rid of that Old Deng. Just thinking about him makes me furious."
Cheng Jing burst out laughing at her expression.
This woman is so straightforward, she says anything.
To avoid continuing the topic of dead husbands, she asked with a smile, "After talking for so long, I still don't know your name."
"My name is Cheng Jing."
"I'm Yao Rou. Nice to meet you."
...
Feng Yaoyao lazily sat on the sofa in the living room, and Liu Yue walked over with a face mask.
"Lie down, don't move, this face mask is very expensive."
"I know."
Feng Yaoyao took a pillow and lay down on it.
She casually asked, "Where's the Old Man?"
"He went to the company. It's almost the end of the year, so he's busy."
"Why don't you go to the company to play with him?"
Liu Yue pouted. "I'm not going. A bunch of people scheming there, it's boring."
"That's true."
A face mask was applied to Feng Yaoyao's face.
"You can't talk now, or it will be wasted."
"Mmm~~~"
After applying the face mask, Liu Yue sat directly on the floor, picked up the grapes on the table and threw them into her mouth.
"I've checked the matter you asked me to."
"Mmm!" Feng Yaoyao struggled to get up.
"Don't talk, just listen to me."
"That Huang Family definitely has some trickery going on; their reputation is extremely polarized."
"I don't know what methods they used to achieve this, you should tell Xiao Muyu to be more careful."
Feng Yaoyao nodded seriously.
"I say, just give this to me. I'll call some people and directly go ask the Huang Family what they mean. It's too much effort working with you."
Liu Yue's expression was very casual, as if the Huang Family was an insignificant family.
Feng Yaoyao was amazed by this. She took out her mobile phone, typed a message, and put it in front of Liu Yue.
「The Old Man said not to let you cause trouble everywhere. Jinshan City is not like home, it's full of all kinds of people. He's afraid you'll get hurt.」
"Tch! It's not that easy to get hurt."
"Forget it, you young people should solve your own problems."
"If you can't solve it, call me, understand?"
Feng Yaoyao nodded.
"Also, come home with me to celebrate the New Year this year. Your uncle and grandfather have been talking about you for a long time."
"Huh?"
Liu Yue raised her eyebrows. "Yaoyao, you promised me. This year, the three of us will go back together. You didn't forget, did you?"
The damp face mask covered her expression, revealing only a pair of innocent eyes.
Liu Yue's hair stood on end when she saw her expression.
She got up and sat on Feng Yaoyao's lap, her expression ferocious as she grabbed her neck.
"Don't use your martial arts to fool me. Don't feign ignorance with me. I've raised you for so many years, and I know what you're thinking!"
The fierce look didn't make the Little Green Tea change her mind. Her eyes were even more bewildered.
"Ah~~~ Feng Yaoyao, you promised me, you promised..."
She grabbed her shoulders and shook her constantly.
The face mask couldn't withstand their tossing and fell off.
Feng Yaoyao struggled to get up and ran out of the living room.
While running, she shouted, "This woman is crazy, does anyone want to control her?"
"Come back here, you can't go anywhere today if you don't agree to me."
Liu Yue chased after her relentlessly, and they played "Chasing Each Other in Circles" in the villa.
"Sister Liu, Mom, please don't force me."
"Calling me Mom won't work this time. You have to go with me."
"Oh, you're being unreasonable."
"Unreasonable? You were the one who promised me."
Just as they were having fun, the villa's door was pushed open, and Feng Bin walked in from outside with a gloomy face.
Both women were startled.
The chase stopped.
Feng Yaoyao looked at her father in doubt. He was always happy when he came home, but today he looked like a black-faced judge.
Especially the way he looked at her, was he coming for her?
Feng Bin said coldly, "Yaoyao, come to my study with me."
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Little Green Tea was completely bewildered.
Liu Yue gave her a questioning look, and Feng Yaoyao shook her head.
"Go and see. Don't make your dad angry. You know his temperament. Just coax him a little."
"Otherwise...you come with me. The Old Man rarely acts like this, I guess it won't be easy to handle."
Liu Yue poked her forehead. "Now you're scared?"
"Tch! I'm not scared."
Feng Yaoyao remained defiant, but her eyes secretly glanced at her father who was walking into the study.
"It's okay, go ahead. I'll wait for you outside. If anything happens, I'll rush in."
"Okay then!"
"But, about going home for the New Year..."
"How can you take advantage of someone's weakness? We'll talk about it later."
"Okay."
Feng Yaoyao pulled Liu Yue and walked upstairs with some apprehension.
Actually, she already had a general idea of what her father wanted to say.
But, so what?
This couldn't change her ideas.
