At the family gathering, my cousin Chen Xin was adorned with luxurious jewelry and dressed in an outfit that didn't match her age.

　　As soon as she entered, she attracted everyone's attention.

　　Relatives praised her, saying that she had achieved success and made a lot of money.

　　Chen Xin said, "I didn't earn any money; it's all given by my boyfriend.

　　Among all our cousins, I'm the only one who isn't cut out for studying.

　　But look, what's the use of studying so much? It's better to marry a good man.

　　Right, cousin Jiang Ran?"

　　Suddenly cued, I didn't respond immediately.

　　Chen Xin then looked at Ji Lin, who was next to me, and said, "Is this your boyfriend? I heard he rented a car to come here.

　　You're a graduate student, why didn't you find someone with better conditions?"

　　Indeed, the car was not Ji Lin's because his Maybach had some problems halfway, so I borrowed a friend's car.

　　I glanced at her and said, "Don't come to me to seek attention.

　　I didn't bring my boyfriend here for you to see."

　　Chen Xin smiled and said, "Look, now you're getting angry because you're embarrassed? I'm just speaking the truth.

　　Is there any need to be so defensive?"

　　"I'm just speaking straightforwardly, nothing more than that," I retorted without reservation.

　　Since she couldn't benefit from me, Chen Xin went to my mom.

　　"Aunt, judging by your taste, you must not be satisfied with cousin Jiang Ran's boyfriend."

　　"Alright, let me have my boyfriend introduce a few guys to cousin.

　　Their conditions will definitely be better than her current one," my mom replied.

　　My mom didn't look too pleased.

　　"Are your boyfriend's introductions always good?"

　　Chen Xin said, "Of course! My boyfriend is the prince of the Hong Kong entertainment circle.

　　How can his friends be inferior in any way? After we get married, I'll be the young lady of the Ji family."

　　I was drinking water and almost choked on it.

　　"Who did you say your boyfriend is?"

　　Chen Xin said, "The prince of the Hong Kong entertainment circle, the heir of the Ji family.

　　You know, right? After we get married, I'll be the young lady of the Ji family."

　　I was dumbfounded.

　　Wasn't the prince of the Hong Kong entertainment circle my boyfriend, Ji Lin? When did he become her boyfriend? Moreover, Ji Lin was sitting right next to me, and she not only didn't recognize him, but also referred to him as a poor man.

　　I looked at Ji Lin next to me.

　　He met my gaze, a hint of amusement flashed in his eyes.

　　Whenever he encountered something interesting, he would have that kind of expression.

　　I raised an eyebrow and scratched his palm, to which he shook his head at me.

　　Well, his mischievous nature was acting up again.

　　I wondered what he was planning.

　　I decided not to expose Chen Xin, letting her revel in her smugness for a while.

　　Chen Xin kept belittling him, but he remained calm and peeled shrimp for me.

　　When he saw me looking at him, he fed me a peeled shrimp.

　　Chen Xin saw it and sarcastically said, "Does being handsome feed you? You can't even afford a car, and now you're laughing while riding a bicycle.

　　You'll have your time to cry in the future."

　　Just as I was about to speak, my mom stood up abruptly.

　　"Have you lost all your manners? Acting like this in front of others, and who knows how you slander us behind our backs!"

　　"Chen Xin blinked innocently, 'Auntie, I have limited education, don't compare me to your level of knowledge.' My aunt followed and said, 'Yes, she is straightforward, there's no need to get angry with the child.' My mom was so angry that she trembled and called my dad, taking me and Ji Lin with her as we left.

　　So, even until we left, we didn't explain the fact that Ji Lin is a prince of the Hong Kong entertainment circle.
