Chapter 158: Are You Sick?
Liu Wentian's words had barely left his mouth when Li Meilin's face changed color, and she shrieked, "What are you babbling about? How could I possibly be pregnant!!"
She looked at Li Chuyue and cursed, "Li Chuyue, is the man you brought crazy?? Did you make him say this on purpose? You did it intentionally, right?? You really have no shame, even trying to slander your own sister!!"
Before Li Chuyue could respond, Liu Wentian's face turned cold in an instant, his eyes narrowed, and with a sneer, he said, "Am I talking nonsense?? Whether your period is normal this month, don't you understand?? If you don't believe it, why don't you go to the hospital for a check-up?? If you haven't messed around with a man, why are you so panicked now??"
Liu Wentian naturally wouldn't talk nonsense; the other party had been pregnant for almost two months, and with his skills, he could tell at a glance, he could not be mistaken.
"You..." Li Meilin's face turned purple.
Her period was indeed somewhat abnormal this month; by all accounts, it should have come earlier, but now it's been delayed by almost a week and still hasn't arrived.
Moreover, her private life was rather messy, lacking a boyfriend, but that didn't mean there were no men she had slept with.
Could it be that she was really pregnant? But even if she was, how could this youngster tell??
At this moment, Li Meilin started to doubt herself as well.
"Meilin, are you... are you really pregnant?? But you don't even have a boyfriend!" Li Pengcheng looked at Li Meilin, whose face was turning a bit purple, and said incredulously.
"I don't get it!!" Li Meilin gritted her teeth and finally snorted coldly.
However, regardless, her "I don't get it" almost confirmed that Liu Wentian might have spoken the truth, and it also revealed something—she didn't have a boyfriend, but she had slept with men recently!!
She had just called Li Chuyue shameless, but in the end, it was she who was shameless.
Li Pengcheng sighed and didn't ask further; after all, it wasn't appropriate for him to continue probing into such matters.
Li Meilin looked at Liu Wentian with eyes full of spite, sneered, and said, "Mind your own business; let's talk about your situation!! Didn't you say you were rich, with a net worth of over a billion, and Li Chuyue became the wife of a millionaire?? Then show us the money!! I might be what I am, but I am still better than Li Chuyue; at least, I wouldn't choose a poor liar as a boyfriend!!"
Sun Yan was also glaring at Liu Wentian with irritation. Liu Wentian made Li Meilin lose face, which meant she lost face as well.
Compared to Li Chuyue, she naturally preferred her own daughter, Li Meilin. If it had not been for Zhao Zhisheng's lack of interest in Li Meilin, she wouldn't have introduced him to Li Chuyue!!
At this moment, a 17 or 18-year-old teenager walked in through the door. He was somewhat handsome, but his hair was dyed red and had a ruffian look about him, making him seem like a little thug.
"Huh? Dad, Mom, Sis, what are you doing here??" The teenager spotted the group standing at the doorway and asked with some confusion.
He was Li Chuyue's younger half-brother, Li Chengbin.
"Chengbin, you've been out causing trouble again; why can't you listen?!" Sun Yan's anger shot up the moment she saw Li Chengbin.
After Li Chuyue became a model, the family could afford to send two college students, but both her brother and sister were not striving hard enough. Li Meilin ended up attending a vocational nursing school, and Li Chengbin had dropped out of high school after getting into a fight and being expelled.
Now he'd been loafing around outside every day, causing their parents endless worries.
Li Chengbin looked impatient, "Alright, alright, I've come back, haven't I? You start lecturing me as soon as I return; isn't it annoying??"
He looked at Zhao Zhisheng and chuckled, "Yo, isn't this Brother Zhao?? You rushed right over when you heard my sister was back. I just don't understand what my sister sees in you."
Upon hearing this, Li Meilin huffed, "Chengbin, aren't you overestimating Li Chuyue a bit too much? What's so great about her that she would be beyond people's reach??"
Li Chengbin glanced at her and said coldly, "I do think highly of my big sister. She's done so much for this family; in my eyes, she's a goddess. What, Li Meilin, do you have a problem with that? I heard from some guys that your personal life at the hospital is pretty messy; you're really shaming the family!!"
Looking at the young man, he seemed to have a strained relationship with his full sister, while he was closer to Li Chuyue.
Li Meilin was so angry that she clenched her teeth and glared at Li Chengbin, "Li Chengbin, you and I are from the same mother, do you understand? And you speak to me like this for Li Chuyue's sake??"
"So what?? What have you ever done for me from childhood to now? On the other hand, my big sister has always cared for me. I don't care whether we share the same mother or not; she's my sister. As for you, self-centered and shameless, go wherever it's cool and stay there!!" Li Chengbin snorted coldly, giving Li Meilin no face at all.
"Alright, Chengbin, no matter what, Meilin is still your sister. Don't cause trouble!!" Experience more on empire
Li Chuyue was somewhat touched by Li Chengbin's words, spoke up, and then pulled Liu Wentian over, smiling, "Come, let me introduce you. This is my boyfriend, Liu Wentian."
Li Chengbin stared in disbelief, looking at Liu Wentian, who resembled a drowned rat, and with dissatisfaction, said, "Big sis, really?? You're so beautiful; how did you end up with such a loser?? You should be with a male god; this guy isn't worthy of you!!"
Li Meilin scoffed, saying, "Your goddess of a sister has found you a loser of a brother-in-law, and this guy even claims he's a billionaire, it's just sick!!"
"A billionaire??"
Li Chengbin blinked, then said disdainfully, "Dude, you're even better at bragging than I am. Someone like you, a bachelor, claiming to be a billionaire? Who are you trying to fool! My big sister is a goddess; there's no way you're worthy of her!!"
"Oh, what would it take for someone to be worthy of your goddess sister??" Liu Wentian asked, somewhat amused. Seeing how protective Li Chengbin had been of Li Chuyue just now, his tone had softened a lot.
"This... At the very least, you'd need to be a millionaire, no? I'm still hoping my future brother-in-law can buy me a sports car to drive around in."
As he spoke, Li Chengbin began to get excited and added, "Right! Do you know what car I just saw at the intersection? You'll never guess!!"
Wearing an expression filled with pride, he looked at the people around him as if he had discovered something astonishing.
He added, "That's one of the top limited edition sports cars in the world. Its price, in our country, should be more than 40 million RMB! How about that, can you guess what it is now??"
"What, more than 40 million RMB??"
Everyone present was startled; that price was several times what Zhao Zhisheng had to his name.
Only Liu Wentian and Li Chuyue looked a bit peculiar, and Li Chuyue glanced at Liu Wentian.
"Xiaobin, what kind of car is it? Could it be made of gold? Even if it was made of gold, it wouldn't be that expensive! Where could there be a car this pricey??" Sun Yan was doubtful as she spoke.
"Hmph! Ignorant!"
Li Chengbin snorted disdainfully and said, "Although I'm not deeply versed in sports cars, there are only so many top-of-the-line models. How could I be mistaken!!"
Then, Li Chuyue suddenly laughed and said, "Xiaobin, could it be a silver-grey Lamborghini Veneno Roadster?"
Li Chengbin was stunned and incredulously replied, "Sis, you've actually been to the city, huh? Just hearing the price and you guessed it."
Then he became puzzled again, "Wait, it's one thing to guess the model, but how do you even know the color?? Oh, I get it, did you see it at the intersection earlier??"
"Of course Sister Yueyue knows the color of that car because it's mine." Liu Wentian said with a smile, touching his nose.
"Ha??"
Li Chengbin's face froze for a moment, then he burst into laughter, "Pfff! Dude, you really can blow your own trumpet! I would bow to no one when it comes to boasting, except you, haha!!"
Li Meilin also sneered, "First you claim to be a billionaire, and now you say that a car worth over 40 million is yours. You really are something special! "
Liu Wentian laughed, took out his car keys, and dangled them in front of Li Chengbin, "Come on, call me brother-in-law, and you can take that car out for a spin right now."
Li Chengbin stared at the Lamborghini emblem on the keys, dumbfounded and skeptical, "This isn't a fake key you got from Taobao, is it??"
He simply couldn't believe that the car belonged to Liu Wentian.
After all, to him, Liu Wentian did not look like someone who could afford to drive a Lamborghini, let alone the Lamborghini Veneno Roadster at the intersection.
"Forget it, just go and try it out." Liu Wentian said with a smile, tossing the keys to him.
Li Chengbin grabbed the keys and immediately ran out, not even taking his umbrella.
In a short while, the roaring sound of a beast came from afar, growing closer as a dazzling Lamborghini Veneno Roadster pulled up at the gate.
Rolling down the car window, Li Chengbin shouted excitedly at Liu Wentian, "Brother-in-law!! This car is really yours, I accept you as my brother-in-law!!"
"This cheeky brat!" Li Chuyue laughed and scolded, but upon hearing her brother call Liu Wentian brother-in-law, she felt somewhat embarrassed.
"Is this car really yours?? More than 40 million??" Sun Yan and her daughter, staring at the cool Lamborghini Veneno Roadster, both had their eyes wide with disbelief.
Zhao Zhisheng's face kept changing colors, going from green to purple as if he was running a dye workshop.
"Mom, would you stop talking nonsense, please? I've driven the car over, if it's not my brother-in-law's, then whose could it be?? Seriously, does anyone lend out a top-class luxury car just for show?? If my brother-in-law wasn't a billionaire, he wouldn't even know how to buy such a car!! Brother-in-law, I'm off for a spin! See you later!"
