Master Meng was stunned. He couldn't believe what he had just heard. He pointed at Meng Xintong and asked, "You— What did you say?"
Meng Xintong smiled and said in a bright voice, "Father, I said, I'm going to bring my boyfriend home."
Chen Pei, who just came down from upstairs, almost fell. She couldn't believe it. Since when did Meng Xintong have a boyfriend? She was still deciding on Meng Xintong's marriage—a marriage would benefit the Meng family the most! Of course, this benefit was for her youngest son.
Master Meng regained his composure and stood up from the sofa. "Boyfriend? Which family is he from? How is his family background?"
Even though Meng Xintong expected this to happen, she was still disappointed beyond measure. She finally understood. No matter how well she performed, she had no place in this family. Master Meng would only view her as a chess piece.
