Lin Tian suddenly wanted to know, if Shen Mengyi discovered she had been "sold" like this, what would her expression be? It must be quite spectacular.

"Mmm, your suggestion seems pretty good," Lin Tian said, pretending to be lost in thought.
"Of course, no one knows my cousin better than I do. I grew up here, you know. My cousin has a lot of admirers. With my help, you’ll surely get twice the results with half the effort," Shen Xiaohui said with a smug look.
"What’s your name?" Lin Tian asked, looking at Shen Xiaohui.
"Shen Xiaohui," he answered, then looked at Lin Tian and said, "What about you?"
"What I’m called is not important, what matters is how you’ll address me from now on," Lin Tian said with a slight smile at the corner of his mouth.
"How I address you?" Shen Xiaohui asked puzzled. "What should I call you?"
"..." Lin Tian gave him a speechless look and then said with rolling eyes, "You claim you’re going to help me pursue your sister, what do you think you should call me?"
"Oh... Brother-in-law," Shen Xiaohui finally caught on and said quite smoothly, which made Lin Tian wonder if this guy did this sort of thing frequently.
"Hmm, not bad. The youngster is quite perceptive," Lin Tian said with a look of approval.
"What are you two doing?" Suddenly, Shen Mengyi’s voice came from behind Lin Tian. Shen Mengyi looked at the two of them chatting and laughing charitably. She was rather puzzled; they had only just met, hadn’t they? How could they be so familiar?
"Sis, you’re here? Your boyfriend just told me a joke, it was so funny," Shen Xiaohui said with a smile on his face as he saw Shen Mengyi arrive.
"Who are you calling ’brother-in-law’? Who let you make such a call?" Shen Mengyi’s face turned red as soon as she heard it, and she glared at Shen Xiaohui as she said, "His name is Lin Tian, he’s my friend."
"That’s the same as ’brother-in-law,’ you’ve brought him home," Shen Xiaohui said indifferently. "You’ve never brought a man home before."
"Great, it seems my absence from home has fattened your courage, you’ve even learned to talk back," Shen Mengyi said, her adorable rage fixed on Shen Xiaohui. "Do you want me to invite Mei Xue over to our place?"
"No, I’m wrong, okay? I’ll disappear right now, just don’t invite her over," Shen Xiaohui said, his face changing color. He picked up an iPad from the ground and vanished, but before he left, he didn’t forget to shout to Lin Tian.
"Brother-in-law, I’ll take you out for fun when I have time."
"You little brat, are you asking for a beating?" Shen Mengyi gnashed her teeth as she heard Shen Xiaohui still calling Lin Tian ’brother-in-law,’ but by then, Shen Xiaohui was already out of sight.
"Hehe... your brother is quite adorable," Lin Tian said, unable to hold back a laugh as he watched Shen Mengyi’s livid face.
"Hmph," Shen Mengyi snorted coldly at Lin Tian. She would never believe that Lin Tian hadn’t said something to provoke such a nickname from Shen Xiaohui.
"How come you were with him?" Shen Mengyi asked curiously. "He never talks to strangers like that."
"Maybe we just have similar tastes," Lin Tian explained casually, but he also kept his promise not to mention Shen Xiaohui’s viewing of Island Country action movies.
"Forget it then," Shen Mengyi gave Lin Tian a glance, clearly not believing what he said.
"By the way, who is this Mei Xue you mentioned just now? Why is she so scared?" Lin Tian asked Shen Mengyi, puzzled.
"She’s a classmate of mine," Shen Mengyi explained with a smile. "When Mei Xue came over to my house as a kid, she just happened to run into Xiaohui running around naked. He was young then, and when my aunt was trying to bathe him and he wasn’t having it, he ran off, coincidentally bumping into Mei Xue. You know, girls mature earlier, and when Mei Xue saw Xiaohui running around naked, she flew into a rage and gave him a good beating.
And from then on, every time Mei Xue saw Xiaohui, she would beat him up, so he developed a psychological shadow. Whenever he sees Mei Xue, he immediately runs away."
"Haha... that’s hilarious," Lin Tian couldn’t help but burst into laughter after hearing Shen Mengyi’s story. He hadn’t expected Shen Xiaohui to have such a past—it could certainly make for a lifetime of jokes.
"Actually, Xiaohui is a poor soul," Shen Mengyi said with a sigh. "When he was three, his parents died in a car accident, so he’s been living with us ever since."

"So that’s why he appears at your house," Lin Tian said, trying to change the subject as he saw Shen Mengyi’s mood turning somber. "Let’s stop talking about this. It’s my first time in Tianchuan City, aren’t you going to show me around properly?"
"We have a nine-day holiday, don’t we? There’s plenty of time. You’re not tired after flying for an entire day?" Shen Mengyi said, rolling her eyes. "I just got a call from Mei Xue. She said that everyone is on an extended holiday for the National Day Golden Week, so everyone is taking this time to have a class reunion tonight, and you’re coming with me."
"Ah? It doesn’t seem quite appropriate for me to go to your class reunion, does it?" Lin Tian said, looking surprised.
"What’s inappropriate about it? Every girl will bring a male companion, you don’t expect me to go alone, do you?" Shen Mengyi said matter-of-factly.
"You’re so beautiful, there must be plenty of people willing to be your companion, why does it have to be me?" Lin Tian was not convinced.
"Are you really not going?" Shen Mengyi said through gritted teeth. If it was just about bringing any guy, then why would I have come to you? Isn’t it because we’re more familiar with each other?
"Not going," Lin Tian said, shaking his head.
"There will be a lot of good food there," Shen Mengyi persisted.
"Not going," Lin Tian continued to shake his head.
"There’ll be many beauties there," Shen Mengyi’s tone turned slightly annoyed—this jerk is really insufferable, acting all high and mighty when invited to a class reunion, stubbornly refusing to go.
"Really?" Lin Tian didn’t refuse this time, his eyes shining with a wolfish glint as he asked.
"Really," Shen Mengyi said, a vein popping on her forehead at Lin Tian’s attitude. Was this jerk blind? He stayed unmoved by her beauty, refusing an invitation to the gathering, but the moment other beauties were mentioned, he was all excited. Was he trying to spite her?
"Hehe... then I absolutely must go," Lin Tian suddenly changed his attitude, wearing a sly smile that made Shen Mengyi want to stomp on him.
And since they were going to attend a gathering, it couldn’t be taken lightly. Being part of Tianchuan City’s upper echelon, Shen Mengyi’s classmates were from the same circles. Thus, such a gathering, even if it was a class reunion, was inevitably a dignified affair.
