Kong Zhen loftily lifted her head, saying, “It’s fine; I’ve already thought of a countermeasure. We’ll have you meet with five girls together this time!” “What?!” Liang Han’s jaw dropped, and Kong Zhen smiled smugly.

Liang Han quickly grabbed Kong Zhen’s hand. “Mom, I don’t think that’s appropriate. How will others see us if word gets out? You make it like we’re choosing a consort here; what will people say about us? You have to think about our family’s reputation. You can’t do that!”

Kong Zhen snorted, “Why can’t I? What’s going to affect our reputation is you being unable to find yourself a wife!”

Seeing her son’s troubled expression, Kong Zhen finally relented slightly. “Don’t worry, I won’t make it so obvious! I’ve organized a small party here at home and invited your aunt, cousins, and those girls over. You can come over after the party starts and pretend you’ve just returned home without notice. Then, you can stay and sit with us for a while. Stay longer and chat if you hit it off with the ladies; if not, you can leave first. Is that okay? That’s not much to ask, right?” Kong Zhen could imagine the scene now; it was simply perfect.

Liang Han knew she’d planned this long ago when he heard this. ‘No wonder Mom tricked me into going home today,’ he thought. Since it was already a foregone conclusion, it would definitely make his mother furious if he continued to question her decision. ‘I don’t want her to twist my ear again.

Thankfully, no one else saw that, or nobody would ever take me seriously in the future!’

‘ Whoa, the wealthy sure know how to live!’ Yun Liu inwardly exclaimed the moment she entered the mansion. The Yuns’ house could only be considered humble compared to the Liang Mansion.

Although the Gu family was also wealthy, their roots were in White City. They were gradually buying property and businesses in Rong City, but their influence there still couldn’t compare to that of the Xi, Shi, Liang, and Ye families. Moreover, Yun Liu’s family wasn’t even the main Gu family branch, so they naturally couldn’t compare to them.

It was Yun Liu’s first time visiting the Liangs. Unlike the Xi Mansion’s lavishness and the Shi family house’s understated luxury, the Liangs tend toward a more fashion style. Madam Liang was generous, outgoing, and didn’t put on airs at all.

“Miss Yun Liu, Madam is waiting for you in the back garden.” Auntie Gui, the housekeeper, said warmly. Yun Liu joyfully thanked Auntie Gui and headed toward the back gardens after getting directions from her.

Liang Han glanced over his back as he walked to check if anyone had followed him from the garden, thinking about how to fool the staff his mother must have stationed at the door. They were ostensibly there to welcome their guests, but in reality, they were there to keep an eye on him, as he had the habit of running away. ‘As long as it isn’t Auntie Gui at the door, the staffguarding there are no match for me.’

“Ouch!” Liang Han was too busy looking around to pay attention to where he was going and bumped into Yun Liu, who was walking towards him.

Yun Liu staggered back a few steps in her high heels and stumbled over the edge of the flagstone walkway. She screamed and was about to fall messily to the ground when Liang Han reacted quickly and grabbed her waist, saying, “Careful now!”

Yun Liu clung to Liang Han’s arm and managed to avoid falling due to Liang Han holding onto her waist. Liang Han immediately let go of her when he saw that she had stabilized herself and apologized, “I’m sorry. I wasn’t paying attention.”

Yun Liu held onto a lamp post at the side with a pained expression and said, “Hello, Mr. Liang! I—I think my ankle’s sprained.”

Today, Yun Liu wore a white spaghetti strap dress with a light beige knitted shawl and a pair of white sandals with thin heels. Right now, the heel of her left sandal was visibly crooked.

Liang Han took a closer look at her and exclaimed, “Miss Yun, it’s you?! You, how, why are you—” He wanted to ask, ‘Why are you here at my house? but swallowed his words. ‘ Why else would she be here ifnot for the blind date—ah, no, party? My silly mother must have invited her. It seems Yun Liu is also one of the girls that my mother has taken a liking to!’

“Oh dear, what happened, Miss Yun?” Auntie Gui came over, and Liang Han couldn’t help but curse in his heart.

Sure enough, after Auntie Gui heard the situation, she loudly bade Liang Han, “Young Master, why are you just standing there? Come and help Miss Yun treat her sprained ankle. Oh dear, Miss Yun, you can’t put weight on that ankle. Young Master, hurry and carry Miss Yun up. Her high heels aren’t stable!”

Liang Han exasperatedly looked at Auntie Gui before gentlemanly stating, “Auntie Gui, that’ll be rude to Miss Yun. Have someone bring a wheelchair over.”

Aunt Gui knowingly smiled and said, “Yes, you’re right. Silly me. We can’t be rude to the fair lady..” Seeing Liang Han sigh while ordering the staff to get a wheelchair, Auntie Gui thought, ‘It seems like the young master doesn’t fancy Miss Yun!’
