After being the pampered young lady of the Lu family for seventeen years, she discovered she was actually a fake heiress. Meng Anran decisively cut ties with the Lu family and returned to the finan...
Chapter 152 This kid obviously lacks education
After breakfast, Meng Anran said goodbye to her family, went back to work at the company, and delivered the packaged love to Meng Chenghong.
Across the school's iron gate, Meng Chenghong smiled like a millionaire, her tone full of flattery: "Thank you, second sister, you are simply the most beautiful fairy in the world! Having a sister like you is such a blessing to me!"
Meng Anran glanced at him helplessly and amusedly, "I'm really impressed by you. Come home early tonight. Mom said she'll cook you your favorite cola chicken wings."
Meng Chenghong hesitated for a moment and said with embarrassment, "But I have to go to Master's class. Besides, I don't like cola chicken wings anymore. Those were sweet things I liked when I was a kid, and now they're too greasy for me."
Meng Anran was silent for a moment, without showing any abnormality on her face. She waved at him, "Alright, go in quickly. Go straight home after school. Mom and Dad are planning a trip for National Day. I'll ask for leave for you from Mr. Wu."
"You don't need to help me ask for leave. I can just send a WeChat message to my master." Meng Chenghong curled his lips and couldn't help but complain: "Second sister, I'm already in the second grade of junior high school. I'm not a child anymore. You don't need to worry about everything for me."
Somehow, Meng Anran felt like she was suddenly stabbed in the heart. She looked at her once well-behaved and sensible brother, and saw that his expression now revealed a barely perceptible helplessness, as if something had changed invisibly.
She lowered her eyes and nodded slightly, "I see. I'm going to work. Be careful when you go home after school."
"Okay." Meng Chenghong was still a happy puppy. He didn't notice the slight change in his second sister's mood. He waved goodbye vigorously and turned to run towards the teaching building.
Meng Anran got into the car and fastened her seat belt. The quiet car gave her space to sort out her thoughts alone. She was stunned for a while, thinking carefully about what her brother had just said.
She has always had a sharp eye for people. Now, Meng Chenghong has become more arrogant rather than more self-centered.
After becoming Wu Chongxi's disciple, he gained an enviable title. Wu Chongxi treated him like his own grandson. In recent years, he participated in large and small competitions and won many awards with his talent in calligraphy.
He has never experienced any major setbacks, has never seen the cruelty of society, and has tasted the power and honor too early, which makes him confident and arrogant while still mentally immature.
He values calligraphy more than his family members, and would rather go to Mr. Wu than go home.
It was his honor to have Mr. Wu as his master, but it was not something he could show off.
He repeatedly brought up Master Wu in front of her to try to refute her request. He was probably forgetting why Master Wu accepted him as his disciple in the first place.
Meng Anran thought for a moment, took out her cell phone and called Wu Chongxi, and the call went through quickly.
"Little ancestor, you still remember an old man like me? How long has it been since you last came to see me? Come over sometime and buy me some more peach cakes! The one you bought last time was delicious!"
"I'll bring some to you next time. Besides peach cakes and mung bean cakes, is there anything else you want to eat?"
"Huh?" Wu Chongxi's eyes widened in surprise. "You're so kind? You're not nagging me anymore? Are you planning something big?"
"What can I possibly want from you?" Meng Anran said unhappily. She opened her tablet and glanced at her schedule for the coming period. "I have something to tell you. Don't let Xiaohong stay with you for the time being. It's rare for his parents to be home. Let him spend more time with his family."
"Oh, you're talking about this!"
Wu Chongxi heaved a sigh of relief as if he had suddenly realized something. He finally didn't have to worry about what big trap this little ancestor had set for him.
"I told him a long time ago that you've been busy with work these past few years, and we only see each other during the Chinese New Year. Although your family's situation is special now, at least we have some time together as a family. I told him to stay home with his parents for the time being and not come over."
Meng Anran fell silent. So, Mr. Wu had already given Meng Chenghong a vacation, and Meng Chenghong simply didn't want to go home, so he used the excuse of going to Mr. Wu's class?
This kid obviously lacks education.
"My schedule is packed these days. I can't squeeze in any time." Meng Anran confirmed that she had no schedule that could be rescheduled and closed her tablet. "Will you come to my birthday party?"
Meng Anran knew that Wu Chongxi didn't like the scene of a bunch of people flattering each other at business banquets, but she still sent an invitation to Wu Chongxi out of courtesy.
"No, no! It's not fun!"
Wu Chongxi refused without hesitation. He hated those people who always came around and introduced themselves to him in a flattering way. He didn't want to get to know them at all. Besides, he was old and couldn't remember who was who among so many people.
"Whatever you want." Meng Anran didn't force it, and added, "After the banquet, I'll have some free time. Then I'll go visit you with Qin Mu."
…
On the other side, the Meng couple and the siblings Meng Zhen and Meng Yushu returned to the villa.
Since everyone had nothing to do, they found a movie and sat in the living room to watch it and eat snacks.
"Yushu, you've acted with so many actresses, haven't you met any girls you're attracted to?"
Watching Meng Yushu and another popular young actress performing a wall-bang on the screen, Su Wanman was supporting her son's couple while also being concerned and curious about her son's love life.
"Work is work, life is life, and privately we're just friends." Meng Yushu thought it was funny. He would not fall in love because of the play.
All movies and TV series have scripts, and every actor plays a predetermined role when working.
He is only a casual acquaintance with other actors in private and does not have a very deep understanding of them.
If you fall in love with your co-actor because you are immersed in the role, then you are being too irresponsible in your relationship.
Su Wanman sighed. Her eldest son was already 24 years old, and he had never developed any relationship with any girl. She was very worried that her eldest son would spend his whole life in the entertainment industry.
Of course, the eldest daughter is 28 years old and has never been in a relationship, so she should be more anxious.
But as for my daughter, we can’t rush into getting her married. If she marries the wrong man, it would be better for her to stay at home and be a caring person to her parents for the rest of her life.
"Hey, doesn't An Ran know a lot of friends? Let her introduce them to you!" Meng Rong suddenly thought of his little daughter's network of contacts. A girl who can get along well with his little daughter must have a good personality and character.
Introduce a few to Meng Yushu for her to look at. She has so many friends, there’s bound to be one that she likes!
Hearing this, Meng Yushu's smile faded a little, and he felt slightly dissatisfied with his father's self-evident proposal. "Dad, our family has relied on An Ran enough over the years. Don't let her worry about my relationship."
The current career achievements of everyone in the Meng family are inseparable from the financial and network support of Meng Anran. On the other hand, since she returned to the Meng family, they have been unable to do anything for her.
Now I should think about how to make my career better and reward her instead of asking for things from her out of habit.
