Chapter 749: Chapter 750: Meeting Cheng Xiaoyue Again

Song Xiaodong, as the head of a large family, naturally couldn’t stay at the Shui Family for long, and the next day, he left with Shui Qingyue.

Shui Qingyue still wanted to stay at home for a couple more days, but her mother completely disagreed, insisting she go back with Song Xiaodong. Knowing her mother’s thoughts, Shui Qingyue had no choice but to leave with Song Xiaodong.

Along with Song Xiaodong and Shui Qingyue, Shui Qinghe also left.

Shui Qinghe wasn’t upset about her illness; as soon as she left home, she was already excited.

After passing through security, the three of them sat in the VIP lounge, Shui Qinghe directly sat next to Song Xiaodong and asked with a smile, "Brother-in-law, is your home fun?"

Song Xiaodong said, "My home isn’t much different from yours, it’s just that the yard is a bit bigger, and there might be more decor, oh, and there’s a natural stream that was brought in, which is quite unique, I guess."

Shui Qinghe pouted and said, "That doesn’t sound very interesting."

Shui Qingyue reproachfully said, "You’re just thinking about playing, you’re going there to get treatment."

Shui Qinghe said, "Since brother-in-law said he can cure my illness, I don’t need to worry about that. I’ve been stuck at home since graduation, and I’ve finally gotten a chance to go out and have fun, so of course, I’m going to enjoy myself."

Song Xiaodong said, "Once we get there, there will be someone to accompany you."

"Who will take me around? My cousin?"

Shui Qingyue gave her a look and said, "I don’t have time to play with you, I have a lot of things to do."

Curiously, Shui Qinghe asked, "Then who will take me? You, brother-in-law?"

Song Xiaodong smiled slightly and said, "You’ll find out when we get there." More likely to be fun, that would be Miao Xuanxuan and Xiao Yingying. They would probably get along well, but currently, it isn’t convenient to discuss home matters with her here.

While they were talking, two people came in; then one of them quickly approached Song Xiaodong, exclaiming joyously, "Big Brother Song, what a coincidence, meeting you here."

This was a fashionably dressed girl wearing sunglasses, whose figure alone was enough to stir imaginations. Song Xiaodong recognized her immediately and laughed, "Yes, indeed, it’s quite a coincidence, I didn’t expect to meet you here." The other one was Cheng Xiaoyue’s classmate, Zheng Qian.

"Yes, yes." Cheng Xiaoyue nodded repeatedly and then looked toward the two beautiful women beside Song Xiaodong, sticking out her tongue, and asked, "Big Brother Song, are these your girlfriends?"

Song Xiaodong laughed and said, "This is Shui Qingyue, my girlfriend, and this is Shui Qinghe, Qingyue’s cousin, who is coming along to my place to play."

Cheng Xiaoyue immediately extended her hand to Shui Qingyue, respectfully saying, "Nice to meet you, sister-in-law, I am Cheng Xiaoyue."

Shui Qingyue shook hands with Cheng Xiaoyue and said elegantly, "Are you also heading to Minghe?"

Cheng Xiaoyue asked curiously, "Yes, I’m going to an event; are you also going to Minghe?"

Upon hearing this, Shui Qingyue realized that her relationship with Cheng Xiaoyue wasn’t very close, otherwise, she wouldn’t have been unaware that Song Xiaodong was already in Minghe.

Song Xiaodong intervened saying, "I have been in Minghe recently."

Shui Qinghe had been staring at Cheng Xiaoyue and suddenly exclaimed excitedly, "I know who you are! You are that TV host Cheng Xiaoyue."

Song Xiaodong said, somewhat surprised, "You know her, too?"

Shui Qinghe immediately said, "Yes, yes, the show she hosts is really good, called ’Happy Go Lucky’; I watch it every episode. She is a popular host now."

Song Xiaodong said, "Well, congratulations to you."

Cheng Xiaoyue earnestly said, "If it weren’t for your help, Big Brother Song, I’d still be a little host at the city TV station, and even that might not have gone well."

As they were talking, two men walked in.

One of the men, a young man in his twenties, quickly approached Cheng Xiaoyue and loudly said, "Xiaoyue, why did you walk so fast? I went to buy you something and when I turned around, you were gone."

Cheng Xiaoyue frowned slightly then turned and said to the man, "Young Master Qiao, thank you for your kindness."

"What’s the big deal? Here, see if you like the things I bought for you." Saying this, Young Master Qiao handed Cheng Xiaoyue a bag clearly marked with the letters "LV" - obviously, a designer bag.

Cheng Xiaoyue hastily said, "This is too valuable, I really shouldn’t accept it."

Youth Master Qiao, called Qiao Bin, was also quite a figure in Minghe, and the Qiao Family was a significant clan nearly matching the Shui Family in power.

Qiao Bin laughed and said, "Only something like this is worthy of you, Xiaoyue; don’t be polite, also consider it a meeting gift from me. If you don’t accept it, that would be disrespecting me, Qiao Bin."

Cheng Xiaoyue looked troubled and said, "Young Master Qiao, I can’t accept unwarranted rewards."

Qiao Bin proudly said, "What unwarranted reward? Our meeting is fate, rest assured, I just appreciate your show. Giving you this gift is also a way to make friends. If you encounter any problems in Minghe, you can count on me, Qiao Bin, to easily solve them for you."

As someone in the entertainment circle, Cheng Xiaoyue knew all too well what wealthy, powerful young masters were like; yet, with someone as influential as Qiao Bin in Minghe and having several activities to attend, angering him was not an option, so she just accepted the bag, saying, "Thank you then, Young Master Qiao."

Qiao Bin said directly, "Why be formal? Just consider me a friend."

Cheng Xiaoyue said, "Young Master Qiao, I have a couple of friends here; I need to chat with them for a while, you can go ahead and do your thing."

Qiao Bin looked at Song Xiaodong and the Shui sisters, his eyes lighting up, said, "Since they are your friends, they are my friends too; I’ll take everyone out for a meal later."

Cheng Xiaoyue hurriedly said, "Okay, okay."

Zheng Qian chimed in, "Young Master Qiao, let’s discuss the itinerary for the next few days." She managed to get Qiao and his companion distracted.

Song Xiaodong laughed and said, "It seems you’re quite popular; even here you have your fans."

Cheng Xiaoyue smiled wryly and said, "Big Brother Song, don’t make fun of me. I always wanted to be famous, to be a big star everyone looks at, but now that I’m slightly there, it already feels quite bothersome, especially with these rich young masters, they are really irritating."

Song Xiaodong looked surprised and said, "Huh, didn’t you always want to find a backer? Couldn’t these kind of people be your backers?"

Cheng Xiaoyue smiled wryly and said, "I used to think that way, even if it meant selling my body, I was ready for it, but now, I find it hard to be that carefree."
