章 56: [Bonus Chapter]55th Break: Meng Ruyan

"This... this is...!" The servants who were lined up on the side turned when they heard footsteps coming from behind them. Only for them to loudly gasp when they saw who it was. "The second young master?!" They exclaimed in shock while their faces blushed after they saw Meng Xing.

Fair and smooth skin like milk, red lips the color of roses, and dark eyes of peach blossoms that could hook your soul when you look at them. Everyone felt like they were suddenly drunk. It was hard to look away from such a stunning person.

"S – second young master!" they immediately bowed when Meng Xing was approaching them. This is the first time that they have seen their second young master's face! And the rumors are true! He is really stunning!

The maids and servants following behind Meng Xing secretly sneered, though their faces were blushing, too. This is their boss! Their boss is the most beautiful person! They thought. Yes, they are also the employees of Huichen.

Some employees who were also undercovers but stationed in the other residences in the capital felt envious of those who were stationed in the Meng residence since Meng Xing is living in the Meng residence.

Meng Xing nodded at them with a smile before he walked past them. If just one glance at him could make them feel drunk, then that smile took their hearts away! How dare those people say that their second young master is ugly? He is very beautiful, okay? Although it is such a pity that their second young master doesn't go out of his room, now this is fine since they can have their second young master for themselves! Hahaha!

Meng Xing ignored them and walked away. Meanwhile, the people in the living room looked at each other before their gazes fell on Lin Ze who brought gifts to their residence. Meng Zixin's gaze was too hot as she stared at Lin Ze. But, Lin Ze's expression didn't change and he ignored her.

Whether he ignored her as a gentleman or he ignored her because he wasn't interested in her... it was obviously both.

Meng Linhe, the eldest young master and the manager of the banks owned by the Meng family, spoke, breaking the silence. "Second young master Lin... what did you come here for?" he asked Lin Ze, who was not dressed as an officer today.

Meng Zongqi, the current head of the family, and Ji Suxin who is his wife, didn't speak and let the younger generation talk with each other. Though they stayed since Lin Ze asked to see them today, which surprised them. After all, they never had that much interaction with Lin Ze even if they are also a noble family like the Lin family. Not even when Meng Ruyan was engaged to Lin Ze.

The engagement was proposed by Meng Zonghe, the former head of the Meng family and Meng Ruyan's grandfather, who is fond of Meng Ruyan albeit Meng Ruyan is only average be it in business, studies, or martial arts which makes him unable to be a merchant, scholar, or even a practitioner.

Lin Ze turned to Meng Linhe. "I won't be speaking in a roundabout way." He spoke. "I came here today to apologize for the matter of my engagement with Meng Ruyan." He told them.

The Meng family fell silent. Meng Wenci, the third child in the family, just looked at the adults while his sister Meng Zixin – the only daughter in the family, snorted when they heard what Lin Ze said. She did this not because of Lin Ze, but because of Meng Ruyan, whom she doesn't like and so has a bad relationship with. Especially when their grandfather had Meng Ruyan engaged to Lin Ze instead of her.

Even if she was only fourteen at that time, can't their grandfather wait for her to turn sixteen and be engaged to Lin Ze?! Lin Ze is the dream guy of the girls, so she also likes Lin Ze. So why did their grandfather engage Meng Ruyan to Lin Ze?!

Thus, Meng Zixin truly hates Meng Ruyan. Fortunately, this guy doesn't come out of his room. He must know that she definitely will trouble him!

"Zixin. Behave properly!" Meng Zongqi glared at his daughter. Even if he only has one daughter, he doesn't like her because she is very spoiled.

When Meng Zixin was born, he really loved her and treated her like a princess. But, as she grew up, she became more spoiled and wilful. He was really disappointed in her and was glad that Meng Zixin hadn't reached a marriageable age yet five years ago, or else she would bring shame to them in front of the Lin family.

Meng Zixin pouted. She could feel that her father didn't like her, so she felt aggrieved due to that. His father is not like her friends' fathers who loved and cherished their daughters. Because of this, she envied them, and they also mocked her for this. What friends!

"As for that engagement..." Meng Linhe finally spoke. "Since it was already broken, then you can let it go." He said. "My second brother also doesn't mind." He told Lin Ze.

Since they didn't hear anything from Meng Ruyan after the Lin family announced the breaking of his engagement to Lin Ze, the family also didn't say anything. What was troublesome is that Meng Ruyan became a laughingstock for that, slightly affecting the family. However, the matter died down due to the deaths in the capital. And so the Meng family didn't do anything to Meng Ruyan's matter.

"Ha. I said before that second brother is not worthy to be someone's bride." Meng Zixin sneered.

"Zixin!" Ji Suxin looked at her with a stern gaze. She likes her daughter, of course, so she spoils her. But, she continues to be unruly. And became more unruly, like now!

They have a visitor, and it is someone from the Lin family. Can't she restrain herself?!

Someone voiced out their thoughts. "I may not be worthy, but sister, are you?" a clear and melodious voice that is pleasing to the ears spoke followed by unhurried footsteps. "I suggest for sister to take a look at the mirror, as well as reflect on herself every day. With how you are now, you won't even have a chance to be anyone's bride!" the voice said.
