Mrs. Legend Chapter 359

Chapter 359: Fess Up Honestly 

Seeing that Mei Chuanqi seemed to have something to say to Song Wenwu, Wei Yijie and the others entered the Mei family residence first.

Mei Chuanqi got straight to the point and said, "Wenwu, I'd like to ask you for a favor."

Song Wenwu smiled faintly: "What do you need my help with?"

"It's about my friend, Lian Zeyang. He's an extremely confident person. He believes that anything he sets his sights on will never escape his grasp. So, I was hoping you could knock him down a peg or two, make him understand that some things, just because you want them, doesn't mean you'll get them."

Song Wenwu raised an eyebrow: "What you mean is..."

Mei Chuanqi led him to the window: "See that person standing by the stairs, almost completely blocked by others?"

Song Wenwu nodded: "The one in the black casual clothes?"

"Yes, he's also a very good friend of mine, called Xiao Liuzi. I hope you can go and strike up a conversation with him, to make Lian Zeyang feel a sense of crisis. Of course, if you already have a girlfriend or boyfriend, forget it."

Song Wenwu asked with a smile: "From what you're saying, Lian Zeyang has his eye on Xiao Liuzi. If I go and chat him up, aren't you afraid Xiao Liuzi might fall for me and snatch away the person your good friend has his eye on?"

Mei Chuanqi laughed: "If he liked you, I wouldn't have to worry so much. Ah, he and Lian Zeyang are both my friends. Of course, I hope they can get together, but at the same time, I don't want either of them to get hurt. That's why I thought of this way to break the current deadlock."

"I'm just curious, why did you pick me? Among me, Wei Yijie, and the others, Yijie is the most charismatic. If he made the move, Lian Zeyang would definitely feel a sense of crisis."

Mei Chuanqi shook his head: "Yijie is very charismatic, and also very flashy. But Zeyang is very smart, he could easily see through Yijie approaching Xiao Liuzi deliberately."

Song Wenwu curled his lips: "I feel like you're indirectly complimenting my intelligence, saying I have the ability to stop Lian Zeyang from seeing through everything."

Mei Chuanqi laughed heartily: "Yes, exactly."

He genuinely believed Song Wenwu was much smarter than Wei Yijie and the others. So, when two smart people meet, a sense of crisis inevitably, and unconsciously, arises.

Actually, he didn't want to use others to provoke his friend either. But Lian Zeyang really needed someone to knock some sense into him, so he could clearly understand his feelings for Xiao Liuzi—whether to seize the opportunity or choose to let go.

Song Wenwu thought seeing Lian Zeyang get anxious would be quite interesting, so he agreed: "Alright, when you arrange the seats later, seat me next to Xiao Liuzi."

"Okay, you go in first."

Song Wenwu nodded and entered the hall ahead of time.

Mei Chuanqi waited until he had greeted the other guests before entering the hall, finding his seat beside Zhuo Jun and the others.

Zhuo Jun put his hand on Mei Chuanqi's shoulder and asked, "How is Yi doing over there?"

"Good. Luomeng's family really likes him, they won't let him suffer any injustice."

Zhuo Jun sighed with relief: "That's good to hear."

Lian Zeyang sneered: "That kid actually abandoned us friends and ran off. Who knows when we'll see him again. Now I don't even have anyone to bicker with. I really do miss him."

Mei Chuanqi smiled: "How about this: let him live there for a year, then come back here for a year, alternating between the two planets. What do you think?"

Zhuo Jun agreed: "That's a good idea."

Lian Zeyang asked: "Do Jian Yi's parents know about this yet?"

Mei Chuanqi frowned: "Probably not. If they did, they would definitely have called us."

Just as Lian Zeyang was about to say something, a surprised cry came from the staircase. He quickly looked over and saw Song Wenwu take a silk handkerchief from his pocket to wipe the spilled tea from Xiao Liuzi's face.

His eyes narrowed, and he abruptly stood up.

Zhuo Jun asked, puzzled: "Zeyang, where are you going?"

Lian Zeyang snapped back to reality, sat back down, and said flatly: "Suddenly felt a bit tired from sitting, just standing up to stretch my bones."

Mei Chuanqi smiled without saying anything, seeing that Lian Zeyang was getting anxious.

At that moment, Xiao Liuzi led Song Wenwu upstairs to the second floor.

Lian Zeyang couldn't sit still again. Just as he was about to stand up and head upstairs, a small figure suddenly pounced on him: "Uncle Zeyang, I missed you so much!"

Lian Zeyang, caught off guard, was pushed back onto the sofa. He hugged the child who had quickly settled onto his lap, smiling helplessly: "Weiwei, you're going to crush your uncle."

Mei Weixian laughed heartily: "Uncle Zeyang is a fox spirit who has cultivated and attained immortality. You can't crush him."

Zhuo Jun laughed heartily: "Well said!"

Mei Chuanqi also laughed along. Then, he saw his son mischievously wink at him and quickly understood why the child had suddenly run over and sat on Lian Zeyang.

If he wasn't mistaken, Song Wenwu must have asked his son to do this, to hold Lian Zeyang back.

Ten minutes or so later, Xiao Liuzi and Song Wenwu came down from the second floor.

Xiao Liuzi was now wearing a change of clothes. He looked at Song Wenwu beside him with a hint of embarrassment, and there was a strange flush on his face, which inevitably led others to imagine all sorts of things.

Even Mei Chuanqi, who had asked Song Wenwu to approach Xiao Liuzi, would have thought something had happened between them, let alone Lian Zeyang.

After coming downstairs, Song Wenwu returned to Wei Yijie and the others.

Wei Yijie and his group always loved to joke. As soon as they saw Song Wenwu arrive, they immediately teased: "What good deed did you do up there? Fess up honestly."

As it happened, Wei Yijie and the others were sitting on chairs not far behind Mei Chuanqi's group, and their voices were loud enough for Mei Chuanqi and the others to hear.

Song Wenwu retorted: "What do you think you can do in ten minutes or so?"

Lu Tao laughed: "If you're quick about it, you could get one off."

Song Wenwu smiled but didn't reply.

Sheng Hua, thinking Song Wenwu was tacitly agreeing, asked excitedly: "You didn't actually get one off, did you? That was fast."

Lian Zeyang, sitting on the sofa opposite, his jaw tightened, his handsome face darkening.

Song Wenwu cast a subtle glance towards the front: "Stop talking nonsense. I didn't do anything at all. Besides, this is the Mei residence. What could I possibly do here?"

Xiao Ao asked with a smile: "From the sound of it, if this weren't the Mei residence, you might have done something? Come to think of it, this is the first time I've seen Wenwu take an interest in someone else."

Jiang Binyu, cupping his chin, looked towards Xiao Liuzi and said: "That young man isn't bad-looking. If you really like him, hurry up and win him over. And Wenwu, you're not getting any younger. It's about time you found someone to marry. Then you can give me a godson to dote on, haha."

Hearing their conversation, Mei Chuanqi secretly applauded. These guys were really helpful.

Song Wenwu rolled his eyes: "You guys are getting more and more ridiculous."

Just then, Feng Jingteng announced that the feast was starting.

The butler, who had long received Mei Chuanqi's instructions, led everyone to their assigned seats. Lu Tao, Wei Yijie, Xiao Ao, Jiang Binyu, Sheng Hua, Song Wenwu, Xiao Liuzi, Shi Xinghao, Zhuo Jun, and Lian Zeyang sat at the same table.

Mei Chuanqi, Feng Jingteng, Feng Jia'ao, Feng Qiancheng, Xu Shiling, Le Ran, Mei Feichen, An Si, Bai Guo, and Mei Zhendong sat at another table.

The others were seated at the third and fourth tables.

Before the feast officially began, the patriarch Mei Feichen said a few words, and then the dishes were served.

Throughout the meal, everyone celebrated Mei Chuanqi's successful appeal. The atmosphere was very harmonious, except for Lian Zeyang, who looked like he was about to pop his eyes out watching Song Wenwu pick several dishes for Xiao Liuzi.

Xiao Liuzi tried to refuse a few times, but with someone as gentle, polite, and well-mannered as Song Wenwu, who also knew when to back off, it was hard to refuse his kindness. In the end, he just let Song Wenwu put food on his plate.

Song Wenwu could tell Xiao Liuzi wasn't used to such enthusiasm. After picking a few dishes as an apology for accidentally spilling tea on Xiao Liuzi earlier, he stopped, to avoid making Lian Zeyang suspicious.

After dinner, Mei Feichen, An Si, Bai Guo, Mei Zhendong, Feng Jia'ao, Feng Qiancheng, Xu Shiling, and Le Ran went to the reception room together. As in-laws, everyone felt it was necessary to sit down, have a good chat, and strengthen their relationship.

The other young people stayed in the hall, continuing their casual conversations.

"Zeyang, you seemed distracted all evening. Did you encounter some problem you can't solve?" Zhuo Jun asked with concern.

Lian Zeyang glanced at Xiao Liuzi in the distance and said, "I did run into some tricky issues, but I'll handle them."

Mei Chuanqi chuckled: "Who is our Zeyang? How could he possibly encounter something he can't solve?"

Nong Xiyue beside him laughed: "I think Brother Yang is troubled by love."

Lian Zeyang retorted: "Do I look like the kind of person troubled by love?"

Mei Chuanqi said with profound meaning: "Exactly like one."

The others laughed heartily.

Gu Junqing asked with a smile: "Brother Qi, why didn't we see Jian Yi at dinner today? He never misses a lively event."

Immediately, Mei Chuanqi, Lian Zeyang, and Zhuo Jun's smiles faded slightly.
