no matter how dong qiuyi looked at it, she found it strange. how did li qiaomeng become a rich lady? there was nothing special about her during normal times. however, this villa couldn’t be fake!

although she had mocked li qiaomeng just now and said that this villa might be rented. however, she was also very clear in her heart. if one had the money to buy such a luxurious villa and decorate it extravagantly, one would definitely not be short of money at all. naturally, the villa would not be rented out.

besides, other than the villa, there were so many beautiful clothes in the room and the jewelry boxes on the dressing table that could not be faked.

was it really because li qiaomeng was too low-key?

“that’s right! if i had so many beautiful clothes, i would definitely not wear the same thing every day.” zhao meiyu said heartlessly, “qiaomeng, you really don’t look like a rich lady at all!”

zhao meiyu’s unintentional words were like a knife stabbing into li qiaomengs chest, causing a pain in her heart.

however, even so, she still tried her best to hide the panic in her heart. she smiled and said, ‘didn’t i already explain just now? our family has only become rich in the past few years, so we’re actually more used to our previous lifestyle. some living habits are not so easy to change.”

the others didn’t say anything else and accepted this explanation.

the others wanted to take a look at the jewelry on the dressing table, but li qiaomeng didn’t allow it. she made up an excuse and brought them downstairs.

yes, she had indeed brought unrelated people in while ye lengan was not around. however, she still didn’t have the guts to let them touch anything. she was afraid that if anything happened to the jewelry, she would not be able to bear the responsibility.

although she did not know the value of those iewels. she could tell that thev were definitely expensive. she did not dare to take such a risk.

zhao meiyu and the other two were actually a little unhappy because they felt that li qiaomengs actions were simply looking down on them, thinking they would damage her jewelry. however, this was someone else’s house after all, and those things were really expensive, so they couldn’t say anything and could only follow her downstairs.

when li qiaomeng went downstairs and saw that auntie zhuang had not come out yet, she could not help but heave a sigh of relief. she was also worried that if her mother knew that she had taken her friends to the second floor, she would be too anxious and let something slip, which would not be good.

“you are back so quickly?” zhou gu was a little surprised. “l thought it would take at least half an hour for you to come back downstairs!”

“the lady doesn’t like us staying in her room for too long.” dong qiuyi said sarcastically, “she’s afraid that we’ll damage her things.”

“there’s no such thing.” li qiaomeng smiled and said, “l was afraid that you two would be bored waiting downstairs, so i came down early to chat with

“so we’re just bored!”

even though zhou gu said that, he smiled ambiguously and his eyes darted between ye anyun and li qiaomeng. he didn’t restrain himself until ye anyun gave him a warning look.

everyone sat down and chatted again.

zhao meiyu asked curiously, “qiaomeng, what kind of business is your family in? to be able to grow so big in just a few years, your father is really amazing.”

faced with zhao meiyu’s sudden question, li qiaomeng was almost lost for words. an idea flashed through her mind, and then she smiled and said, “we are in the medicinal herb business. a few years ago, he accidentally obtained a very precious medicinal herb on the mountain. later, after he had capital, he slowly expanded his business.”

she couldn’t help but heave a sigh of relief after speaking.

“so that’s how it is!” zhou gu nodded and said casually, “no wonder you have an alchemy room at home! the medicinal herbs inside are really complete!”

“alchemy?” after hearing zhou gu’s words, li qiaomengs breathing stopped for a moment. then, she suddenly raised her head, her expression was not very good. “you went into that room?”

the moment she heard the word alchemy, she remembered what her mother had said before. ye lengan had ordered that no one else was allowed to enter the alchemy room. although she was very curious about it, she did not dare to take half a step inside.

“yes, i did!” seeing li qiaomengs expression change, zhou gu didn’t know if he had done something wrong. he quickly explained, “i didn’t mean to barge in on purpose. just now, i wanted to go to the washroom and went to the wrong place, so i accidentally went in. however, as soon as i realized that i went the wrong way, i immediately came out.”

actually, he didn’t think it was a big deal. although it was      for him to wander around without the owner’s consent, this was just an accident. moreover, he did not enter that room. he only pushed open the door. after realizing that he had gone the wrong way, he immediately closed the door and left.

“it’s fine.” li qiaomengs smile was a little forced. “however, that room was renovated by my father. he said before that even i shouldn’t go in for no reason. he treasured his herbs.’

zhou gu didn’t go in, so it should be fine. moreover, ye lengan wasn’t here tonight, so she definitely wouldn’t know. therefore, she shouldn’t think too much about it. it would be bad if something went wrong again.

“l see!” zhou gu scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly. “i’m really sorry. i didn’t know your family had such a taboo. but don’t worry, i really didn’t go inside.”

“it’s fine.” of course, li qiaomeng couldn’t blame him. she could only smile and say, “ignorance is innocence! however, i hope that you won’t mention this matter in front of my mother later. she listens to my father very much, so she doesn’t like others to enter that room without permission.”

after hearing li qiaomengs words, the others expressed that they would definitely not let anything slip later.

soon, everyone started chatting again. however, although li qiaomeng couldn’t see it on the surface, she didn’t know why, but she was a little flustered.

on the other side, in paris, ye lengan was currently looking at the auction items below. he seemed to be a little uninterested. the seven star flower hadn’t been auctioned yet, so she had no interest in the current auction items at all.

suddenly, she seemed to have sensed something. her lazy demeanor immediately disappeared and she sat up straight. a cold light flashed in her eyes.

huangfu ruiling immediately noticed the change in ye lengan.. “what’s wrong? did something happen?”
