Meng Xiuyuan was not surprised at all when Lin Chujiu and Su Cha came to his place. What made him surprised was Lin Chujiu’s dress.

Although he had seen Lin Chujiu before, not dressing up like a princess, but her identity was still there, no matter how simple she looked. However, today, she appeared dressed like a maidservant, which was very different from her usual style in Meng Xiuyuan’s impression.

In his impression, Lin Chujiu has always been a capable and neat woman. And because of her gorgeous appearance, no matter what clothes she wears, she still has this noble atmosphere. However, today, she was wearing a simple pink dress, which was not Lin Chujiu’s style.

Meng Xiuyuan was conflicted. Of course, it doesn’t look ugly on her. It’s just comparing to her style before, he doesn’t think that she will wear a pink dress, but now she was wearing a soft pink dress.

“Xiao Wangfei, your dress is really… …cheeky.” Meng Xiuyuan hesitated a bit before he saying his evaluation.

“If it doesn’t look good, then it doesn’t look good. You don’t need to be so careful.” Lin Chujiu knew that she doesn’t look good in a pink dress, but she doesn’t care about other people’s comments about her.

“It’s not ugly, I’m just not used to it.” Meng Xiuyuan ignored Su Cha’s cold eyes and continued exchanging greetings with Lin Chujiu. Su Cha doesn’t know if it’s due to a lack of speech or something, Meng Xiuyuan’s voice sounded husky and he spoke slow. Every word he uttered sounds like a lover’s low tone. Coupled with the look of Meng Xiuyuan’s eyes on Lin Chujiu, Su Cha found it unusual.

He regretted it!

If he knew that things were like this, he wouldn’t come to see Meng Xiuyuan with Lin Chujiu. If Xiao Tianyao learned about this, he will break his bones and skinned him alive.

Su Cha wanted to step forward and interrupt the conversation between Meng Xiuyuan and Lin Chujiu. However, when Su Cha was about to open his mouth, the two sat down in their respective seat and no longer beat around the bush.

In this case, Su Cha, who wanted to interrupt the conversation, shut up his mouth and just sat down. Then, he held his teacup and monitor Meng Xiuyuan’s expression.

“Meng Gongzi, I’ll be honest. I’m here to ask you for help.” Lin Chujiu said as her opening. Meng Xiuyuan didn’t care at all. He put down his teacup and said: “What’s the matter? Xiao Wangfei, please, if I can help you, I will not refuse.”

He stayed in the capital because he was afraid that Lin Chujiu would be in danger. Although he couldn’t do much, the influence of the Meng Family of Wenchang was there. There will be no problem in saving Lin Chujiu’s life at a critical time.

“I want to ask Meng Gongzi about the Zhang family of the central empire. May I know?” Lin Chujiu knew that her request was a bit too much. The central empire was very wary of the four countries. It was not easy to inquire about the central empire.

Lin Chujiu was ready to be rejected by Meng Xiuyuan, so she was ready to throw another question. However, Meng Xiuyuan replied without a second thought: “The Zhang and Meng Family’s status in the central empire is about the same. They are the largest existing families after the seven prestigious families. However, the Meng Family consists of scholars, while the Zhang Family are businessmen. The Zhang Family is very rich. Although they can’t still be compared to the seven prestigious families, they cannot be underestimated in the central empire.”

“In recent years, the Meng family’s status remains the same, but the Zhang Family became more and more prosperous. There is even a tendency for them to join the upper-class families and replace the Lin Family.”
