Chapter 125 The Gap Between Women

"Mengting, we're all women living under the same roof, how come you're so lucky! Waaah... God, you're so unfair! How can there be such a big difference between women!"

"Mengting, you said these pieces of jewelry were a gift from someone. Who is he? He's so rich."

Huang Mengting, her face beaming with happiness, said, "Yes...yes..."

She suddenly realized that if she told them it was from him, what would they think of her? And how would she face Qianqian? She stammered for a moment, then laughed and said, "Of course it was from my boyfriend!"

"Of course we know it was given to you by your boyfriend. We're just asking who your boyfriend is," Li Wei said with envy and jealousy.

Zhang Xiuli was startled and stared at Huang Mengting in disbelief, exclaiming, "Mengting, could it be...?"

Li Wei seemed to have figured something out as well. He suddenly frowned and said with an equally incredulous expression, "Mengting, you never had these things before. I didn't even see you wearing them yesterday. But suddenly you have them today. Could it really be..."

Huang Mengting's heart tightened, and she quickly asked, "What is it?"

Li Wei and Zhang Xiuli exchanged a glance, and then Zhang Xiuli asked with a serious expression, "Mengting, could it really be..."

Li Wei said on her behalf, "It was given to you by Chairman Chao!"

"How could that be?" Huang Mengting was startled and quickly retorted.

Li Wei said, puzzled, "That's strange. You don't even have a boyfriend. If it's not him, then who else could it be? Only Chairman Chao is rich, and you... Besides, last night, only you and Chairman Chao weren't drunk. Only the two of you know what happened afterward. You..."

As he spoke, he raised an eyebrow, his meaning quite clear.

"What are you talking about!"

Huang Mengting blushed and shyly interrupted Li Wei, saying, "Chao Dong is Qianqian's boyfriend, and Qianqian is our good friend. No matter how much of a scoundrel I am, I would never steal someone else's love. Besides, if Chao Dong were to give such valuable jewelry, he would give it to Qianqian, not me."

Zhang Xiuli believed her and said with a serious expression, "That makes sense. It's strange that you became rich overnight. We really can't figure out which rich person gave you these expensive jewelry..." She blinked and asked, "Mengting, aren't we good sisters?"

Huang Mengting answered without hesitation, "Of course we're best friends!"

"Could you introduce your boyfriend to us?" Li Wei said timidly.

"Get out!" Huang Mengting immediately understood what the two meant and shouted angrily.

Li Wei grabbed Huang Mengting's hand and pouted, saying coquettishly, "Mengting, you just said we were best friends, how come you changed your mind in the blink of an eye! Just introduce him to us! Don't worry, we don't mean anything by it, we just want to be friends with him."

Huang Mengting said firmly, "Don't even try, you two little vixens. Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. No way."

Zhang and Li exchanged a glance. Zhang Xiuli quickly got up and sat down on Huang Mengting's other side, each grabbing one of Huang Mengting's hands and shaking them while coaxing, "Mengting..."

"..."

Huang Mengting was speechless for a moment, and then said helplessly, "Fine, fine, I give up!"

Li Wei and Zhang Xiuli quickly exchanged a glance and simultaneously raised their eyebrows in victory.

At first, Huang Mengting hesitated, seemingly finding it difficult to speak, but after a moment she said, "Actually, you all know each other."

Do we all know each other?

"kindness."

"Who is it?"

"It's...it's..." Huang Mengting seemed to have difficulty speaking, feeling as if her tongue was swirling in her mouth. As she spoke, her face began to flush. She bit her lip and hesitated for a moment before saying softly, "It's Qianqian's boyfriend."

"what?"

Li Wei and Zhang Xiuli were both startled. Li Wei looked incredulous and exclaimed, "Mengting, it really is him! You...you and Chairman Chao really last night..."

Huang Mengting didn't speak; at that moment, she lowered her head shyly.

Zhang Xiuli suddenly frowned and asked, "Mengting, does Qianqian know about this?"

“She doesn’t know,” Huang Mengting said, shaking her head. “Wei, Xiuli, please don’t tell Qianqian about this! I… I’m scared…”

Li Wei gave a thumbs up and said sincerely, "Mengting, I really admire you. You even dared to seduce your sister's boyfriend."

Zhang Xiuli also gave a thumbs up: "Awesome!"

Huang Mengting felt increasingly ashamed and said in a low voice, "You...you don't think I don't know, you like him too, don't you?"

“Yes,” Li Wei said without any attempt to hide it, “we genuinely like him from the bottom of our hearts. Tell me, how many girls wouldn’t like a guy who’s tall, handsome, and rich like him? But liking someone is one thing, but we’re not as bold as you.”

"Hmph!" Huang Mengting scoffed and said, "So what if I'm bold? I'm happy to do it. See...?" Huang Mengting raised her hand and showed off, saying, "These are all gifts from him. Moreover, when he gave them to me this morning, he just took them out casually. He just casually pulled out a whole bunch of jewelry from his pocket and told me to choose whatever I wanted. Who knew they were all priceless treasures?"

When Huang Mengting said these words, she didn't seem to take it seriously at all.

"What? What what what?"

Upon hearing this, Li Wei and his companion were both startled.

"You just casually pull out a whole bunch? And you can pick whichever you want?"

Li Wei and Zhang Xiuli felt their hearts suddenly race, and they could barely breathe.

“Yes!” Huang Mengting nodded.

"hiss!"

Li Wei and Zhang Xiuli both gasped in shock, their faces filled with astonishment.

"Really, I'm not lying to you. He really pulled out a huge handful of jewelry, and he let me choose whatever I wanted." Huang Mengting thought Li Wei and the others didn't believe her, so she repeated herself.

Li Wei and Zhang Xiuli exchanged a blank glance. When they thought about how he could casually grab a handful of valuable jewelry, they both trembled. Then, they both became excited.

"Mengting, we're best friends, right?" Zhang Xiuli asked.

“You’ve asked me twice already,” Huang Mengting replied, then said softly, “Wei, Xiuli, you are both my best friends. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have told you all this. You have to keep it a secret for me. If any of you reveal what happened between me and Chairman Chao, I’ll be furious with you.”

Li Wei immediately rolled his eyes at Huang Mengting and said, "Do you think we would tell anyone about something like this?"

"What's burning?" Zhang Xiuli suddenly sniffed the air and smelled something burning. She asked, "Wei, did you leave the stove on?"
