I frowned.
This smell was even more disgusting than the scent of blood.
I burned the dirty clothes in a fire and turned back to my room.
Just as I finished tidying up, Zheng Lingxin and her mother returned.
Seeing that I was still awake so late, Zheng Lingxin looked a bit surprised.
"Why are you still up so late?"
"I had a nightmare and woke up," I said with a smile, pretending to be shy.
"By the way, where's Chen Yue? I haven't seen her."
"Who knows where she went off to?" Xu's Mother scoffed, sounding displeased.
"This child is becoming more and more unreasonable. Lingxin, you should talk to her; she can't just keep acting like this."
"Got it," Zheng Lingxin replied dismissively, pulling me into the house.
"Go to sleep; we have to get up early tomorrow."
The next morning, I got up early.
Chen Yue hadn't come back all night, and her phone was unreachable.
Zheng Lingxin and her mother were busy running around, barely having time to eat a few bites of food.
I heard Xu's Mother say that tonight was their big day.
So all day long, Zheng Lingxin was bustling about.
Xu's Mother also started early in the morning, saying she wanted to properly entertain tonight's distinguished guests.
I enjoyed the leisure and slept until noon.
When I woke up, Zheng Lingxin brought me a qipao.
"Put this on."
He smiled and said, "My mom likes women with big hips; she believes they are good for bearing children. Just bear with her a little."
I didn't say much and took the qipao to change into it.
Anyway, I could tell that this family was not good people. Especially Zheng Lingxin's mother, who looked at me as if I were a pig waiting to be slaughtered.
Finally, the evening banquet began.
I wore a bright red qipao, and Zheng Lingxin led me out.
As soon as I appeared, everyone stared at me, sizing me up from head to toe.
They scrutinized my height, my weight, my bust, my waist, my hips, my legs... Their gazes felt like they were evaluating livestock.
I felt uncomfortable under their scrutiny.
But the show had already started, so I had no choice but to put on a brave face and continue acting.
Zheng Lingxin held my hand and brought me to the center of the crowd.
"Everyone, this is my girlfriend, Xu Yue," he announced proudly, holding his head high like a peacock displaying its feathers.
"Take a look and see what you think."
"Not bad, not bad," said a man who was as fat as a pig, grinning as he assessed me.
"Lingxin has always had good taste."
"Of course," Zheng Lingxin replied with a smug smile before turning to me and softly asking, "Do you want this, Yueyue?"
I shyly nodded.
"I do."
"Alright!" Zheng Lingxin clapped his hands and announced with a smile, "Since that's the case, let's get started!"
He then picked up a microphone and spoke loudly, "Dear friends and family, the reason you've all gathered here today is twofold: first, my girlfriend and I are getting engaged, and second, my girlfriend is truly exceptional."
"It's well known that good women are hard to come by these days. So, for our first child, if it's a girl, the price is two hundred thousand; if it's a boy, three hundred thousand; and for twins, five hundred thousand!"
What?
I was stunned.
Has Zheng Lingxin lost his mind?
Does he even realize what he's doing?
Why is he doing this?
I looked up at him in shock. "Zheng Lingxin, what do you mean?"
"Be good," Zheng Lingxin said as he patted my head with a smile. "Sweetheart, don't make a fuss."
"I'm asking you what our identities are! What is our purpose?" I raised my voice and shouted angrily.
"Shut up!" Zheng Lingxin shot me a glare and said impatiently, "Is that something you should be asking? Just behave!"
I was so angry that I almost laughed.
Well, this is just great.
