The Rich Family's Melon King Only Wants to Eat Melon, but Her Thoughts Are Heard Ch. 3

The system gave a quick intro.

Oh~ no wonder she's blind. Birds of a feather, huh? Mo Keyu snarked to herself.

That girl walked off with a bright smile toward Mo Xiaoyun, and Mo Keyu, unfazed, casually followed.

One wore a short skirt flashing her legs, the other a long pink dress for a "classy" look. Both were decently dressed up, but the second Mo Keyu stood near them, they instantly turned into background props next to a true knockout.

Mo Keyu was dressed in a stunning red gown that made her skin look even fairer. Her long, black curls draped over one shoulder, and paired with her top-tier looks, she became the instant center of attention. People nearby couldn't take their eyes off her.

She used to wear only the castoffs Mo Xiaoyun didn't want—cheap, unflattering dresses that made her look older and heavier. Combined with Mo Keyu's old lack of confidence and the mother-daughter duo's constant PUA* and bullying, she'd always just been furniture at these events—someone who didn't even dare speak up.

(*Gaslighted, manipulated)

"You probably picked that dress straight off some clearance rack, huh?" Zhang Yan sneered, seeing Mo Xiaoyun's thunder completely stolen and trying to start drama.

Mo Keyu let out a cold laugh and mimicked her tone with biting sarcasm, "Looks to me like your dress is one of Mo Xiaoyun's hand-me-downs."

"How did you kn—"

"Please. I bet your family couldn't even afford a new one for you." Mo Keyu added, feigning pity.

"You—!" Zhang Yan's voice grew louder as she tried to maintain her aura, but her feet instinctively shuffled back a little. Panic was written all over her face.

Her family had fallen from grace, and she had a useless brother constantly causing trouble. The reason she chose Mo Keyu wasn't just because she was the second daughter of the Mo family—but more importantly, because she was Xu Rong's fiancée and the future lady of the Xu household.

"Still better than you, wearing bargain-bin trash," Mo Xiaoyun snapped, pulling Zhang Yan aside and stepping forward herself.

"Oh wow, Xu Rong's here!" Mo Keyu suddenly exclaimed.

The two girls, who'd just been glaring at her with fury, instantly changed their expressions. They put on soft, demure smiles, and Mo Xiaoyun even reached up to quickly fix her hair.

But the moment they turned around, there was no sign of Young Master Xu.

Only when they heard Mo Keyu laughing loudly behind them did they realize they'd been played.

"Ahahahaha! Use your brain for once, will you?"

Mo Keyu said, her shoulders trembling from laughter. She honestly hadn't expected the night to be this entertaining on day one.

"You... Mo Keyu, that was way out of line!" Mo Xiaoyun finally snapped and lunged toward her.

"Careful, this place is full of big names. If word gets out that you started a fight here, that's gonna get real ugly."

The two had no choice but to freeze in place. Mo Xiaoyun clenched her teeth in rage.

Just then, Mo Keyu glanced behind her and said, "Huh? Is that Young Master Xu?"

"You think you can trick me twice with the same crap?!" Mo Xiaoyun exploded. Her true personality finally showed—no more pretending. Even Zhang Yan couldn't hold her back.

"I've had enough of you!"

She raised her hand to slap Mo Keyu, but Mo Keyu ducked with a sudden squat and dodged her easily.

Mo Xiaoyun went to swing again, but Zhang Yan grabbed her in a panic and whispered frantically, "He's really here—Young Master Xu just walked in!"

"Don't tell me you're—what?" She froze, turned around, and there it was: Xu Rong's handsome face, staring at them in confusion.

He thought his eyes were playing tricks on him—was that really Mo Xiaoyun about to hit her own sister, right in front of everyone?

But Mo Keyu wasn't done acting yet. She seized the moment and let herself fall gently to the floor, like she'd just been pushed. Her expression was full of hurt, soft and pitiful.

[Hah, playing the victim? Please. I've done this so many times just to make Mr. Mo give up on me completely.]

Lying sideways on the ground, eyes misty with tears, she said in a tender voice, "It was just a small argument... why would you try to hit me, little sister?"

Mo Xiaoyun didn't even look at her. She quickly turned to Xu Rong and stammered, "Rongrong, don't listen to her—it was her who started it!"

"Sigh, forget it. There's so many people here tonight. Let's not drag our family drama into the open," Mo Keyu said, pushing herself off the ground, staggering a bit as she got up.

Xu Rong stood nearby, frowning slightly.

He had a tall, lean build and a sharp, handsome face. With achievements in business and status as the eldest young master of the Xu Group, he was considered a top catch anywhere he went.

But hearing Mo Keyu mention "family drama" made his brows knit tighter. Something seemed off with the Mo family.

He hated trouble more than anything. All he wanted was a clean, proper heiress to marry—someone who'd cause zero chaos.

"We were just messing around, really," Mo Xiaoyun said, grabbing his arm with a smile, but Xu Rong's eyes kept drifting away—unintentionally focusing on someone else.

Mo Keyu followed his gaze and spotted a tall, broad-shouldered man leaning casually against a pillar, holding a wine glass in one hand, silently drinking.

Amused, Mo Keyu went straight to the system:

[This guy looks like he's got some serious drama going on. Spill the gossip—give me the full rundown.]

[Xu Rong, eldest young master of the Xu Corporation, 28 years old, gay, pressured by his elders to get married, Mo Xiaoyun made the first move on him, and Xu Rong took the chance to get engaged to her in a short time.]

[Tell me more about this Xu Rong.]

[Xu Rong was smart since he was a kid, always surrounded by beautiful women, but he was only into men. Starting from age ten, he'd dated thirty-two boyfriends, and slept with twenty of them. Among them, Xin Ren was the one he dated the longest. He was twenty and still in college.]

[You mean that guy just now?]

[Yeah.]

[Wow, interesting.]

At that moment, more and more people gathered around, and it got pretty noisy. Most people were talking louder than usual.

"Rongrong, are you mad?" Mo Xiaoyun acted all sweet to Xu Rong, and only then did Xu Rong pull his eyes back.

Mo Xiaoyun tugged on his hand, her voice soft and whiny, "Rongrong, I already said we were just messing around."

"Not mad," Xu Rong said. His movements were a little stiff, like something was on his mind.
