The Rich Family's Melon King Only Wants to Eat Melon, but Her Thoughts Are Heard Ch. 18

Mo Keyu had just spotted someone familiar. She turned her head and saw another handsome guy—this one could totally rival that Movie Emperor guy in looks, and his whole vibe blew him eighteen streets out of the water.

But whether he was human or ghost, you couldn't really tell just by appearances.

[System, there's a hottie here—hotter than that scummy Wei guy.]

[Spill the gossip, melon.]

[Shen Mingli, eldest young master of the Shen family, has a younger brother, built his own business empire at a young age, top of his generation, personal net worth in the hundreds of billions.]

[Okay, and the juicy stuff?]

The system started digging back into his childhood—what awards he'd won as a kid, how he skipped grades and graduated early, what honors he got, and the achievements he racked up in just a few years... but nothing explosive.

Maybe this guy really didn't have anything scandalous, Mo Keyu thought. She'd seen plenty of people—some of them just didn't.

The guy spoke first, "You a friend of Wei Nan's too?"

They seemed to know each other. That's when Mo Keyu remembered—if he was the Shen family's young master, then technically he and Wei Nan were kind of related.

So... should she tell him the truth?

Mo Keyu wasn't into sticking her nose into other people's business. She figured if you got involved, you'd just get blamed, so she answered casually:

"Not friends. Just met."

"Oh?" he said, his low, magnetic voice as smooth and rich as fine wine. "I thought Movie Emperor Wei seemed really interested in you... Guess I was wrong."

[No, you weren't. That playboy's into every pretty girl he sees.]

[Should I give him a heads-up? But it's someone else's family drama, and they're from one of those powerful families. If I try to do the right thing and it backfires, I'd be stuck in the middle and offend both sides. That'd be a mess.]

[Still, that guy's acting really is top-notch. Fooled his wife's whole family for this long.]

"Maybe you guys should pay more attention to Movie Emperor Wei himself," Mo Keyu said, which kinda counted as giving him a hint.

"For sure," he replied. He didn't press the issue. But the moment he spotted Wei Nan's figure, a wave of killing intent flared up in his eyes.

Just as he turned around to go after Wei Nan, another voice drifted over from behind—sounded just like the woman he'd just been talking to:

[Was that just me, or did I just sense some serious killing intent?]

[Man, this Wei dude's got guts. Messing around behind the Shen family's back and not even scared of getting caught?]

[No way, no way, he's seeing that many girls? And lying that he's single too?]

[Tsk tsk tsk, what trash. Telling his wife he's keeping their marriage a secret for his career and that he only loves her—ugh, gross.]

[Ahhhhhhh, his wife's nine months pregnant! Can't he just hold it in for nine freaking months? Is he even human?! AHHHHH.]

......

The stuff she was saying was really foul. Shen Mingli rubbed his forehead and suddenly whipped around—only to find the woman casually munching on snacks like nothing had happened, cheeks puffed out, totally not looking like someone who'd just rattled off that whole rant.

And yet, that voice was still going.

So... this person...

What the hell was going on?

As soon as Wei Nan saw Shen Mingli, he panicked like a grandson spotting his grandpa and tried to flee, only to be stopped by the other's voice.

"Wei Nan, you in a hurry or something?" the man said coldly.

Global movie star Wei Nan, with hundreds of millions of fans, knew better than to mess with this guy. No matter what other ties were involved now—he still couldn't afford to.

"Oh, it's Brother Shen! Didn't expect to see you here. Xiaoli and I were just talking about you today," Wei Nan forced a flattering smile. "I just didn't notice you earlier, haha. You're back in the country?"

But the other guy wasn't buying any of it. If it weren't for his cousin constantly shielding Wei Nan, he would never have allowed someone like this to be connected to the Shen family at all.

Shen Mingli was born proud. Even though Wei Nan was now a huge celebrity, he still didn't give a damn.

"You didn't go home today—so how exactly did you 'talk about me' with Xiaoli?" There was a trace of mockery at the corner of his mouth.

"Huh? Oh, I must've remembered wrong. Maybe it was yesterday. I've just been so busy, totally muddled. Anyway, Brother Shen, since you're here, let's grab a drink together." Wei Nan took a big step toward him and waved a server over.

Soon, two mixed drinks were brought over.

"Wei Nan, the Shen family's been caught up with business lately and hasn't paid much attention to you and your wife," Shen Mingli said, eyes sharp as a hawk, like he could see right through everything.

Wei Nan was terrified. He took a small sip of the drink to brace himself. "No worries at all. Everything's fine. Xiaoli's doing well too."

He knew exactly what was happening—someone in the Shen family was starting to get suspicious.

A guy like Shen Mingli never showed up at events like this. At most, he'd go to family gatherings. If he suddenly showed up here, it was definitely to come find him.

Right now, the guy was still testing him.

After all, he'd tricked the Shen family's granddaughter into marrying him. He had at least some brains—he always cleaned up the evidence and had his team handle follow-up. As long as no one caught him in the act, he planned to keep faking it until the lie became real.

"I saw you getting pretty close with some woman just now," Shen Mingli suddenly said.

Wei Nan immediately responded, "What woman? Oh, her? She happened to come up and talk to me. You know how it is—I'm a celebrity, got lots of fans. People asking for autographs and selfies happens all the time."

"Is that so?" the man said, mocking. "Funny—when I asked her, she said you two just met."

Wei Nan took another sip, trying to stay calm, but almost choked on it. He forced his voice to stay steady and said,

"I've got a public image to maintain. What if she was a tabloid reporter in disguise trying to bait me? I have to be careful with my words. Brother Shen, don't you believe what I'm telling you? I spend my days either acting or going over scripts. That's it. I only came here today because I was exhausted and needed a break. And the yacht owner was super welcoming, so I came along."
