Betrayed by her boyfriend and his white-lotus classmate working together? Meng Tang catches them in the act at a hotel, then face-slaps and tears the scumbags apart in one smooth move!
Not long afterward, at a banquet:
“Mr. He, this is my niece, Meng Tang, the youngest lecturer in the History Department at Haizhou University,” her uncle, Xu Zhenting, said with a smile.
He Jingchuan stood in a perfectly tailored suit, his expression composed. His gaze paused when it fell on her face. “I know her,” he said in a low voice.
In fact, he had looked into her back when his son was dating her: her parents had died young, she had been raised by relatives, she had excellent grades, a quiet personality, and never asked anyone for help.
That day, downstairs at the hotel, he had seen her catch his son, He Yichen, cheating and tear away the false facade of her classmate, Su Jinyan. When she turned and left, her silhouette was as resolute as the wind.
Later, he thought: A girl like her shouldn’t be let down.
Rain poured outside the window, and breaths mingled inside.
After a long while, He Jingchuan murmured, “What do you think of me?”
Meng Tang looked up, her eyes clear. “I don’t know you well enough to judge.”
His gaze darkened as he drew her into his arms. “Then get to know me, starting now.”
Meng Tang panicked. “But, Mr. He, no matter how you look at it, I’m your son’s ex-girlfriend!”
He Jingchuan held her by the waist, his voice low. “No, Meng Tang. You’re your own person, and so am I. All you need to know is that I want to marry you.”
