"Mengmeng, isnāt your dad being way too harsh to me?" Eleven wanted to recruit an ally.
No one answered for a while, and when she turned around, Mengmeng was nowhere to be seen. In the large hall, only she and Aunt Fang were left.
Aunt Fang, suppressing her laughter, had been watching the whole thing and said, "When sir was talking to you, Miss Mengmeng had already snuck in!"
"..." That little rascal!
She sure did sneak away quickly!
Looking over, there were three internet celebrities happily kneading dough and making dumplings in the kitchen, and she was the only one left out. If this wasnāt ostracism, then what was it?
"Hey! So nonchalant!" Eleven joked.
Aunt Fang didnāt understand the joke and quickly said, "How could that be! I was just watching from the side, and your family of four looked so heartwarming! If it werenāt for..."
If it werenāt for the fact that they were currently divorced and the sir was about to get engaged to someone else, she would have mistaken them for being like this forever.
"Auntie, you can go, no need to bother with me anymore."
"Eh!"
Eleven, sitting in the living room with nothing to do, remembered that she hadnāt called Feiāer in a while, so she dialed.
Unexpectedly, the voice that answered was not Feiāerās.
"Excuse me... Isnāt this Ye Feiās phone?"
"You must be Ye Feiās good friend, right? She left her phone here and went off to challenge Brother Xiuxia. She swore to defeat Brother Xiuxia and then go challenge the master - oh, sheās back! Iāll give her her phone."
Ye Fei took the phone and first grumbled a lot because Song Xiuxia had not accepted her challenge, saying he was tired of it.
"How dare he despise me! Heās always challenging Song Yanxi. Doesnāt Song Yanxi get annoyed with him?"
"Okay, okay, annoying," Eleven said with a smile, "Both of you are annoying, just as bad as each other."
"... Hey Eleven! What are you saying! Whose side are you on!"
"Iām not on anyoneās side, I need your help now. Gu Liancheng and those two little guys are ganging up against me, theyāre in the kitchen messing around and wonāt let me in. Do you think I need to rectify the family rules? Minus me, my status wouldnāt exist."
"Yo..." Ye Fei said in a theatrical tone, "So this is your family style? Is Gu Liancheng already yours?"
Glancing at the kitchen, Eleven said with inexplicable confidence: "Sooner or later heāll be mine, itās just a matter of time."
"So quickly surrendering... You previously swore to me that you were going to keep him hanging, to let him pursue you. Whereās your ambition? You have been tamed so quickly!"
"Not yet," Eleven scratched her chin with a chortling smile, "Iām still the one in control."
"Keep bragging! They always say whoever falls in love first loses. Our Gu Dada, lost because heās softer hearted! Thinking about it that way, he won on character! You, hardened heart! He treated you well for four years, and you havenāt been moved!"
"Ye Fei! Whose side are you on?"
"Hey, Iām a fence-sitter, didnāt you know," Ye Fei shamelessly said, "I lean whichever way the wind blows less!"
"Furthermore..." Eleven muttered, "Who says Iām not moved... Iāve been moved countless times, big and small. Seeing that charming face every day, first thing in the morning and last thing at night, who wouldnāt be moved? The question is, am I truly in love."
