Lu Jingyang shivered under Meng Ying’s stare. He had never seen such a shameless woman before.

Of course, if a fool like her really knew what shame was, she wouldn’t keep pestering him.

She was like a band-aid that could not be removed.

Meng Xin tried to drag Meng Ying away. “Sister, let’s go.”

“No—” Meng Ying moved closer to Lu Jingyang and the distance between them shortened.

Lu Jingyang stepped back in disgust. “Meng Xin, please keep an eye on her. Don’t let her come near me again!”

The onlookers were all in high spirits.

Someone asked, “Miss Meng, tell us, what does Young Master Lu have to do for you to let him off?”

“Young Master Lu, why don’t you marry her? It’s rare to encounter such a devoted person.”

“Hahaha, only Young Master Lu has such good fortune.”

“Get lost!” Lu Jingyang glared at his friends.

Every time Meng Ying appeared, he would become a laughing stock.

Whenever he went out to play, someone would always associate him with this silly woman. It was annoying.

Lu Jingyang stared at Meng Ying. “If you come any closer, I will jump down from here!”

Meng Ying grinned and took a step closer.

Lu Jingyang was stunned.

“You jump. If you jump, I won’t bother you anymore.” Meng Ying pointed outside the yacht.

The center of the lake was only ten meters away from the shore.

If he couldn’t swim, he might die if he fell.

“Hey, hey, hey. Miss Meng surely has a temper today.”

“Who said Miss Meng is silly? She looks very smart today.”

“Back then, Young Master Lu said that he would marry her if she jumped into the river. Now, she has turned against him. If Young Master Lu jumps, she won’t pester him anymore. This deal seems to be worth it.”

Lu Jingyang narrowed his eyes. “Are you sure?”

Meng Ying nodded seriously. “Yes.”

Lu Jingyang gritted his teeth and looked back at the lake.

He pointed at Meng Ying. “You better keep your word.”

Meng Ying tilted her head, looking a little silly.

Lu Jingyang jumped down.

Everyone leaned on the railings and cried out in surprise. They laughed very happily.

Lu Jingyang splashed the water in the lake and pointed at Meng Ying. “Stop pestering me!”

“Alright.” Meng Ying nodded and turned to leave.

“Oh, she really left.”

“At least, the fool is a woman of her word.”

“Young Master Lu, your morals are lacking compared to her.”

“Congratulations, Young Master Lu, for finally getting rid of the filthy band-aid.”

“…”

The voices behind were all congratulating Lu Jingyang.

Meng Ying got off the yacht.

Meng Xin followed behind Meng Ying. She felt that something was wrong with Meng Ying.

She liked Young Master Lu so much, why did she give up so easily?

“Sister, do you really not like Young Master Lu anymore?”

“Yeah.”

“Why?”

“He’s ugly.”

Meng Xin stopped in her tracks.

What did she say?

Young Master Lu? Ugly?

…

Meng Ying walked around the island with her scary makeup on.

The venue was almost ready and there was a buffet.

She ate whatever she wanted to eat casually.

Many people who saw her avoided her.

Everyone knew that the eldest daughter of the Meng family was a silly and ugly woman.

However, the Meng couple loved her dearly and allowed her to do whatever she wanted.

They did not feel embarrassed at all for having such a daughter, and she would never miss any occasion whenever the Meng family invited guests.

‘No one can bear to look at her ugly makeup.’

‘But why is she here alone?’

‘Isn’t Lu Jingyang here? I thought she liked to pester Lu Jingyang?’

Suddenly, Meng Ying’s eyes lit up like a dog that smelled meat and ran towards that piece of meat.

Mu Yuansheng had received Ah Da’s call and arrived at Lake Island ahead of time because he was worried.

Suddenly, he felt a gust of wind behind him.

He turned around and saw a flowery face in front of him.

He stopped and stared at the face with a frown. “How did you end up like this?”

Meng Ying held her face and was elated. “Do you recognize me?”

“Go remove your makeup.”

‘Why ruin her beautiful face? No wonder that people outside said she was ugly.’

Meng Ying held his hand. “Help me.”

Mu Yuansheng had already witnessed her ability to pester others. He allowed her to grab his arm and lead him into the hotel.

Not far away, Meng Xin witnessed this scene.

Lu Jingyang—who had come out of the water and was about to go back to change his clothes—saw it too.

“I was wondering why Meng Ying suddenly lost interest in Young Master Lu. So she has a new lover.”

“I wonder what that person looks like. Looking at his back, he seems pretty handsome.”

“Young Master Lu, I really have to congratulate you. Now that Meng Ying has a new lover, you finally have some peace.”

Lu Jingyang looked at Meng Ying who was hugging the man’s arm tightly.

When she pestered him previously, she did not even dare to hold his hand.

Of course, he wouldn’t let her touch him.

Ha! That man could actually tolerate Meng Ying’s pestering. He must not be anything substantial.

…

Meng Ying stood in front of the sink with her eyes closed.

After waiting for a while, she opened them again.

“Hubby—”

Her soft and gentle voice made Mu Yuansheng’s heart numb.

He had never been pestered by a woman like this before.

He didn’t know that a woman could be so lethal when they were being coquettish.

In the end, he could not hold back and took some makeup remover to remove her makeup.

He was so clumsy that he wanted to leave several times, but this woman had her eyes closed and looked like she was enjoying herself.

After about an hour, her face could finally be seen.

He carefully wrung a towel with warm water and wiped her face.

“Done.”

He had never served anyone before.

This was his first time doing something like this to anyone else.

Meng Ying opened her eyes. The face in the mirror was as beautiful as a flower.

She looked good no matter what angle she looked at it.

Mu Yuansheng said, “Change out of the dress.”

“Help me change—”

“…”

Mu Yuansheng looked a little uncomfortable and pretended to be cold. “If you won’t change on your own, I’m leaving!”

“I’ll do it myself!”

Meng Ying saw the faint redness on his ears and knew that she shouldn’t push her luck anymore.

She quickly said, “Wait for me outside. Don’t leave.”

Mu Yuansheng left decisively.

…

It was the eighth birthday of the young master of the Meng family, Meng Yuan.

Meng Shiliang had booked the entire island hotel and invited countless relatives and friends to celebrate it.

Madam Meng was young and beautiful.

Although Meng Shiliang was almost 50 years old, he had taken good care of himself.

It was not weird to see them together as a couple.

“Xinxin, where’s Yingying?” Zhang Di pulled Meng Xin over and asked her softly.

“Sister dragged a stranger into a hotel. I don’t know which room she went to,” Meng Xin answered obediently.

Zhang Di frowned. “A stranger?”

Meng Xin nodded. “Sister went to look for Young Master Lu again. Young Master Lu rejected her and she ran out. Before I could catch up to her, she dragged a strange man inside. When I ran over, she was already gone.”

“Then why didn’t you say so earlier?” Zhang Di glared at her.

She hurriedly told Meng Shiliang about it.

Meng Shiliang immediately got someone to look for her.

“Dad, Mom, it’s all my fault! I should have followed Sister.” Meng Xin lowered her head, her eyes filled with tears.
