Master Meng was stunned . He couldn't believe what he had just heard . He pointed at Meng Xintong and asked, "You— What did you say?"

Meng Xintong smiled and said in a bright voice, "Father, I said, I'm going to bring my boyfriend home . "

Chen Pei, who just came down from upstairs, almost fell . She couldn't believe it . Since when did Meng Xintong have a boyfriend? She was still deciding on Meng Xintong's marriage—a marriage would benefit the Meng family the most! Of course, this benefit was for her youngest son .

Master Meng regained his composure and stood up from the sofa . "Boyfriend? Which family is he from? How is his family background?"

Even though Meng Xintong expected this to happen, she was still disappointed beyond measure . She finally understood . No matter how well she performed, she had no place in this family . Master Meng would only view her as a chess piece .

Without changing her expression, Meng Xintong happily said, "Father, he is penniless and doesn't have any ill.u.s.trious family background, but we are deeply in love with each other . "

Hearing that he was a penniless small fry, Master Meng was about to faint . His background was so horrible that his fury couldn't be contained . He raised his hand to slap Meng Xintong .

Meng Xintong's eyes turned cold, and she s.h.i.+fted her head to the side to dodge the slap .

Chen Pei b.u.t.ted in and raised her voice . "Oh, look at your daughter . Now that she's all grown up and became capable, she no longer respects you as a father . She's getting more and more brazen . She even found a piece of trash as your future son-in-law . Won't we become the joke of everyone?"

Chen Pei's words added fuel to the fire . Master Meng picked up the rod beside him and was about to hit Meng Xintong with it .

Meng Xintong glanced at Chen Pei and laughed . "Aunt Chen, you better laugh while you can because you'll be crying very soon . "

Chen Pei's heart pounded, and she shut her mouth in guilt .

Master Meng was panting as he threatened her . "You better break up with that worthless lad immediately . Right now, I said . Did you hear me? A piece of trash wanting to join the Meng family? You wis.h.!.+"

Meng Xintong remained calm . "Father, he's very good . I won't break up with him . He doesn't care about the Meng family or any status at all!"

"Y-You— You are— You are the daughter of the Meng family . You cannot be with a penniless lad . My word is law . "

"Father, the law nowadays promotes the freedom to love . Even if my surname is Meng, do not forget that half of the Meng family's business can be credited to my mother . I've seen clearly how you treated my mother . Since I have you as an example, why would I dare to choose someone like you?"

Without waiting for Master Meng to react, Meng Xintong added, "And what's done is already done . "

Master Meng raised the rod . "I'm going to beat you to death, you disobedient daughter . "

At this moment, Meng Xinyan's voice came from the door . "Father, mother, we're home . "

Chen Pei saw that it was Meng Xinyan and Su Lenghan, and she rushed towards the entrance to welcome them . Master Meng glared furiously at Meng Xintong before rearranging his expression to welcome his son-in-law .

Meng Xintong remained at her spot and laughed self-deprecatingly . She looked outside, and a glint of determination flashed in her eyes . She decided to call to Zhou Pingyu .

"h.e.l.lo? Xintong? Why are you not speaking? Are you tired? Wait for me to get off from work, and I'll take you out for a meal . "

Meng Xintong heard Zhou Pingyu's concern, and her gloomy mood vanished . "Pingyu, come to my house this afternoon, the Meng family residence!"

Zhou Pingyu was startled . "This afternoon?" Xintong never mentioned anything about this . Why was this so sudden?

"Yes, this afternoon . They're all bullying me . I'd like you to be here to back me up . "

Master Meng was stunned . He couldnt believe what he had just heard . He pointed at Meng Xintong and asked, You— What did you say?
