Chapter 34: Are You Blind or Am I?

Fang Minghui's sudden question about Song Baoyi made Song Dalong and Zhou Lei both stunned.

Zhou Lei quickly reacted and said with a smile, "Baoyi is practicing the piano upstairs. Young girls are a bit shy."

After speaking, Zhou Lei turned to look at the servant beside her, "Go and call the young lady."

Fang Minghui said with a smile, "Since Baoyi is practicing the piano, let's not disturb her."

Turning her gaze, Fang Minghui saw the bookshelf in the living room and continued, "Are these books what Baoyi usually reads?"

"Yes." Zhou Lei nodded, her face full of pride, "This child's greatest interest is reading."

Fang Minghui walked to the bookshelf.

She saw that the bookshelf was filled with world-renowned classics.

There was also a book about ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs.

Fang Minghui took out this book and asked with some curiosity, "Is Baoyi also interested in ancient Egyptian culture?"

Zhou Lei walked over, "Yes, she usually likes to read this book."

In fact, this was just a pirated book.

Song Baoyi couldn't understand ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs at all. It was placed on the bookshelf merely to save face.

Hearing this, Fang Minghui's eyes were full of surprise.

Ancient Egyptian culture was ancient and mysterious.

For thousands of years, it had fascinated countless scholars, but no one could fathom its mysteries. Unexpectedly, Song Baoyi, at such a young age, could understand ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs.

She was truly amazing!

Fang Minghui admired Song Baoyi even more and wished she could marry Yu Tingzhi as soon as possible.

Unfortunately, Song Baoyi hadn't graduated from university yet, so they could only get engaged first.

"Baoyi will definitely achieve great things in the future!" Fang Minghui exclaimed.

Zhou Lei maintained a smile, but in her heart, she had already cursed Fang Minghui hundreds of times.

Since they knew that Song Baoyi would achieve great things in the future, how could the Yu family still have the nerve to come to their door for an engagement?

Didn't Yu Tingzhi take a look in the mirror to see what he was?

Truly disgusting.

"Then I'll take your kind words." Zhou Lei said with a forced smile, "I hope this girl can achieve great things in the future."

At this moment, the servant brought in a plate of cut fruit.

Zhou Lei continued, "Send a portion upstairs to the eldest young lady as well."

"Yes, ma'am."

Fang Minghui was in high spirits because of the happy occasion and didn't even notice that when Zhou Lei mentioned Song Baoyi just now, she called her "Miss," but now she had changed it to "eldest young lady."

On the other side, Master Yu, Song Dalong, and Yu Zhihong were discussing the engagement.

Basically, Master Yu and Yu Zhihong were talking, while Song Dalong didn't express any opinions, just smiling and saying, "Good, good, good! Everything will be done according to what Master Yu says, I have no objections."

Master Yu looked at Song Dalong, feeling very touched.

Song Baoyi's good reputation was well-known. If it were other parents, they would definitely have a lot of opinions about the engagement banquet, but Song Dalong didn't have any objections at all.

Just then, Fang Minghui seemed to think of something and continued, "By the way, these are two sets of formal dresses I had custom-made abroad. Why don't we let Baoyi come downstairs and try them on?"

As she spoke, a servant brought in two gift boxes.

Zhou Lei said with a smile, "The tailor made them according to the measurements, so how could there be any mistakes? There's no need to try them on."

A week ago, the Yu family had someone come to take Song Baoyi's measurements. At that time, Zhou Lei had given Song Hua's measurements.

If they let Song Baoyi come over to try them on now, wouldn't it expose their deception?

"It's getting late," Master Yu stood up from the sofa, "Dalong, then we'll go back first."

"Master Yu, I'll see you off." Song Dalong immediately stood up to see them off.

Zhou Lei followed Song Dalong's footsteps.

Returning to the living room again, seeing the engagement gifts sent by the Yu family, Zhou Lei's eyes gleamed, "I must say, the Yu family is really generous! Are these diamonds collector's items? And this watch is HR's latest model, a global limited edition of three pieces! And this bracelet is actually a vintage edition that even Madam Yun couldn't buy!"

Just thinking that these luxury goods were all going to Song Hua made Zhou Lei's heart ache.

How could a little village girl from the countryside be worthy of such high-end things?

Only Song Baoyi deserved to use these things!

Thinking of this, Zhou Lei called the butler over.

"Madam, you called for me."

Zhou Lei nodded and continued, "Butler, do you know anyone who sells high-quality counterfeit luxury goods?"

The butler was stunned for a moment, then nodded, "One of my old neighbors makes high-quality fakes."

Zhou Lei asked, "Where does she live?"

"Right here in Jiangcheng."

Zhou Lei said with a smile, "Perfect. Have him send some high-quality fakes of these things over. The price is negotiable."

The butler instantly understood Zhou Lei's meaning.

"Yes, Madam, I'll contact him right away."

Song Dalong looked at Zhou Lei and frowned, "If she finds out you're doing this, what will happen?"

If such a thing were to spread, it would damage their reputation.

Zhou Lei's eyes were full of disdain, "That little wild thing? What has she ever seen?"

Since she hadn't seen the world, how could she distinguish between real and fake?

Song Dalong thought it made sense and didn't say anything more.

Giving these good things to Song Hua was indeed a waste.

**

The Yu family.

Master Yu went upstairs to Yu Tingzhi's room.

Just as he pushed open the door.

He saw Yu Tingzhi sitting by the computer.

Master Yu didn't understand the online games that young people loved to play now, he only saw the computer screen full of English.

"Tingzhi ah!"

Yu Tingzhi turned his head, "Grandpa."

"Tingzhi, your mother and I went to the Song family. Don't worry, the engagement banquet will proceed as planned."

Speaking of this, Master Yu paused, "Miss Song is not the kind of person you imagine her to be."

Yu Tingzhi didn't speak.

Master Yu took out a black card, "This is a little something from Grandpa, keep it. There will be many more places to spend money in the future. Being with Miss Song, don't worry about money! It's not Grandpa bragging, but even if ten spendthrifts came, they couldn't squander all of Grandpa's money!"

"Just spend it as you please, you don't have to worry about anything else."

Master Yu looked like a nouveau riche.

"Grandpa, keep the money yourself, I don't need it." Yu Tingzhi pushed the card back.

Master Yu looked unhappy, frowning and saying, "This child, take it! Grandpa will get angry if you don't."

"I'm warning you, Grandpa has a heart condition! If you don't take it, Grandpa will have an attack for you to see!"

At this moment, Master Yu looked exactly like an unapproachable old man trying to extort money.

Yu Tingzhi looked helpless and could only let Master Yu stuff the card into his pocket.

Seeing that Yu Tingzhi no longer refused, Master Yu left the room with his hands behind his back, feeling satisfied.

The next day.

Zhou Lei had someone call Song Hua downstairs.

Seeing Song Hua come downstairs.

Zhou Lei put on a fake smile and pointed to the luxury goods displayed on the table, "Tomorrow is your engagement with the third young master of the Yu family. These are the betrothal gifts the Yu family sent you. There are also two evening dresses for the engagement banquet. Try them on and see if they fit."

If she wasn't afraid that the Yu family would find out, Zhou Lei wouldn't even want to give Song Hua these two dresses.

A pheasant trying to become a phoenix?

Song Hua walked to the table and casually picked up a watch, "An HR watch, priceless, extremely collectible. A vintage Chanel crocodile leather bag, a collector's grade pigeon egg diamond ring..."

Her tone was indifferent, and even her expression was faint, but Zhou Lei frowned.

How did Song Hua recognize these luxury goods?

Before Zhou Lei could react, Song Hua's next words directly made Zhou Lei break out in a cold sweat.

"Switching the real for the fake," saying this, Song Hua paused, "So... do you think you're blind, or am I?"
