Chapter 252 Shanghai Fest Arc (6) : We Already Accept Zhou Ai

'Guiying' stared at Jun with wonder and appalled. 'She' had no romantic interest in MrPerfect. But 'she' couldn't believe that the man who sent her a card and asked to meet in Shanghai was blatantly humiliating her in front of Ai.

Rage bubbled in her heart as her nails dug the soft flesh of her palm.

So, there was no meaning behind calling me to meet me. You just wanted to insult me. You have crossed all your limits, MrPerfect…

Zhan Yahui noticed her trembling and whispered, "Calm down, Guiying. You don't have to take his words to heart. You are still a star."

Don't take his words to heart? How can I when this very man sitting right in front of me is showing how true-faced he is!

Cai Lingyun gritted his teeth. "You are going too far, Mr. Liu. Guiying is my sister. Ai," he anxiously shifted his gaze at her, "Will you not say anything to him? Guiying is your best friend, and he is openly humiliating her. Do you think you can be happy with a man who insults your friend and your dear ones?"

Jun felt irked at the phrasing of his words.

Dear ones…Are you pointing at yourself?

Ai was about to answer when Cai Lingyun spoke, "I told you, Ai. His world is very different. Today, he is not respecting the ones you care about and tomorrow, he won't respect you. Forget about him. What about his family? Such a wealthy family like theirs will never accept you!" _{says that? The Liu family does accept Ai," a voice sounded from a distance which was filled with a hint of amusement mixed with chilliness.}

The trio of Nian, Xing Bi and Yunru who had lost Ai came back in search of her. But they had an additional member with them as they came.

It was Nian who spoke as he lazily took a chair and sat beside Ai.

"Sister-in-law!" Yunru jumped to hug her. "Where were you? Do you know how worried we got when we didn't see you? And then we couldn't call you either! Xing Bi's condition was even worse!"

Xing Bi turned her head left and right and nodded in satisfaction. "Good. There is such a huge crowd here. You scared me there," she sighed in relief.

Ai quickly assured them. "I am fine. I am sorry. I got lost in admiring a painting."

Nian looked up and down at Cai Lingyun and smiled. "I don't know who you are and neither do I want to know. But you don't have to worry about the Liu family not accepting Ai. I am Liu Nian, her future brother-in-law and from the Liu family's behalf, I say that we already accept her."

He stiffened.

Ai stared at Nian with warmth enveloping her heart.

Xing Bi's ears perked up by the way he defended and stood up for Ai and cleared her throat.

Good that he said that or I would have thrown him out from the balcony…

Yunru puffed up his cheeks and harrumphed. "I am Chen Yunru, Bro Jun's cousin and the Chen family accepts sister-in-law Zhou Ai too! My grandmother even wanted to pair her with Bro Zixin."

Jun's mouth heavily twitched. Ai gave a similar reaction.

Grandpa Liu wanted to match me with Jin. Grandma Chen had similar thoughts?

Ai looked at Jun. "Yunru's grandmother…"

He replied. "She is Grandpa's younger sister." _?

"..."

No wonder.

Nian smiled. "So you see, you don't have to worry about Ai's happiness. She has a big family to look after her. You say that our worlds are different, but I guess you are ignorant of who our mother is."

Cai Lingyun blinked.

"She wasn't from an influential or wealthy family. She ran her own small restaurant which my brother and sister have taken over now. Even my grandmother wasn't rich. But you don't have any idea just how much Grandpa and Dad dote on them. They are wife slaves. There is no concept of rich and poor in our family, so there is no way that we will reject Ai based on her status. Hah! If we do that, Mom and Grandma will throw us out of the house! They are the cool Bosses, and we are at their mercy."

Cai Lingyun smiled uncomfortably. "I…I see."

Ai's eyes glistened with thrill. "That feels so wonderful."

Jun looked at her disdainfully. "You look too excited for some reason, my dear girlfriend. Is the 'slave' part that interesting?"

She sincerely defended herself. "What do you mean? I think the Bosses part is cooler."

Nian snorted. "Ignore him. He just acts like that, but he is already your slave."

"Shut up, Bro! You are not even supposed to be here!"

"Hey! I am always there wherever my Xing Bi is!"

That earned him a smack on his head. "Stop addressing me as 'my Xing Bi.'"

He grinned. "But you looked so happy to be in my arms just a few minutes ago~"

"That was because somebody pushed me, and I slipped. Don't think of any ideas," she smacked him again.

"Ow!"

'Guiying' and Cai Lingyun witnessed the banter and chitter and chatter with their hearts burning in resentment.

For Cai Lingyun, Ai seemed as if she had already gone far away and formed her own world where he wasn't a part of it at all. He didn't even realize when this distance suddenly formed between them.

As for 'Guiying', she wished to tear Jun's smiling face apart.

That won't be for long, Liu Jun. Your happiness won't last for long!

Ai then noticed a familiar presence standing behind Yunru and was taken aback in surprise. "Shi Huan…? MysticMidnight. You are here too. I am sorry I didn't notice you there."

She observed her gaze which was watching in Guiying's direction and was reminded of the time when she was similarly staring at her table during the Summit.

Shi Huan broke her gaze and looked at her. "Hello. You don't have to apologize. It's nice to meet you."
