Chapter 153 We Should Have Been on the Same Front

After understanding what Meng Yushu meant, Meng Rong came to his senses and felt that his thoughts were terrible.

Since when did he get used to Meng Anran's help, thinking that no matter what problems or needs he had, as long as he asked Meng Anran, they would be solved effortlessly?

It was Meng Anran who first introduced him to a car factory as a manager. After working there for more than a year, he found a business opportunity in tire manufacturing and wanted to resign and start his own business again.

Shi Meng Anran invested nearly half of the start-up capital in the form of shares. His previous friends were not optimistic about him, so Shi Meng Anran introduced him to many raw material suppliers related to this industry.

Qin Mu also recommended many auto repair shop owners, that is, demanders, to Meng Anran for his sake.

It can be said that his Hot Wheels brand was all promoted by Meng Anran. As a father, he should be a protective umbrella for his children. Why is he now subconsciously taking advantage of his youngest daughter's resources?

"You're right!" Meng Rong patted his thigh as if he had learned his lesson. His frown reflected guilt for his own thoughts, but his eyes were filled with determination for the future. "We should all grow up quickly and stop burdening An Ran!"

Father had come to his senses. Meng Yushu curled her lips in relief. "As for this incident, An Ran knows the inside story. She probably didn't tell us because we were powerless to confront her. But we can't really do nothing. We should actively cooperate with her plan. We can't let her bear all the pressure alone."

"Well said!" Su Wanman clapped her hands in agreement, her blood boiling. "An Ran is already very busy. We can't just sit here and wait for her to solve her problems! Even if it's a trivial matter, we must do our best to share her burden!"

Meng Zhen was still in a listless mood today. After hearing what her family members said, she asked in a listless tone, "How can I help? We only know that An Ran is having a birthday party. Such a large party must have someone in charge of planning and arranging it. We don't know anything else."

"There are many things to do." Meng Yushu counted them off on her fingers, one by one, for her family to hear: "She wants me to do a live broadcast at the banquet, and she borrowed the live broadcast equipment from Liuzhi. I can coordinate these small matters with Liuzhi. The banquet will inevitably have drinks and meals, and the Yandu Hotel will have to issue a bill for her to review, and my sister can check it. Mom and Dad, the police are still investigating the kidnapping case. You should actively communicate with the police, cooperate with the investigation, and provide them with all valuable clues you can think of, so that the case can be closed as soon as possible.

"Apart from these things, even if we pick her up from get off work every day so she can have more rest on the way, or bring her lunch at noon so she doesn't forget to eat, that would also be considered helping her."

Even if you can't help with big things, it's the family's responsibility to do their bit and help in detail.

As a family, they should stand on the same front, instead of letting Meng Anran stand in front when problems arise while they are leisurely sitting here doing nothing.

After receiving Meng Yushu's reminder, several people immediately turned off the movie and took action.

Meng Zhen returned to her room to contact the Yandu Hotel and to check online what to pay attention to for high-end banquets before taking over the organization of her sister's birthday party.

As a result, as soon as I sat down in front of the computer, I received a call from Xiao Han.

She hesitated for a moment, then answered the call. "Hello, what can I do for you?"

I could tell that she was a little listless, and her tone was much colder than when we met yesterday.

This made Xiao Han, the chatterbox, at a loss as to how to appease the other person for a moment. It seemed that even his jokes did not seem to pay attention to the atmosphere.

After struggling for a moment, he finally found a way to start the conversation: "Well...it's nothing serious. I just wanted to ask you, what are you going to wear to An Ran's birthday party? If you don't have any alternative dresses, do you want to go shopping together and pick one?"

"No thanks." Meng Zhen refused without hesitation. After saying it, she felt that her tone seemed too cold, so she added, "I'll go out shopping with my mom then. It's not good to waste your time on such trivial matters."

How could Xiao Han not hear such an obvious rejection?

There will definitely be no delay. He will stay in Beijing until Meng Anran's birthday party is over, and all work will be put on hold.

But Meng Zhen didn't want to see him, so he didn't dare to bother her any further.

After hesitating for a moment, he chose to ask directly: "Zhenzhen, are you in a bad mood? Did I do something to upset you yesterday?"

He is not a person who can hold things in. He always speaks his mind directly and doesn't like to beat around the bush. If he doesn't express some emotions, he will be the only one who feels uncomfortable.

So, if he doesn't like someone, he will just confront them. It doesn't matter if people say he is sharp-tongued. As long as he feels good about it, that's enough.

But Meng Zhen was obviously different from him. She was very tolerant, but she couldn't hide it very well. People could see her emotions, but couldn't ask her what she was thinking.

In the end, it made everyone feel uncomfortable.

Mengzhen sometimes hates herself for being like this. Whenever she encounters difficulties, she wants to escape. Because she doesn't have the courage to confess her feelings, she pushes away everyone who cares about her.

She kept persuading herself in her heart to tell Xiao Han all her thoughts, but the words were stuck in her lips and she couldn't utter a word for a long time.

After struggling and pulling, he finally uttered a simple: "I'm fine."

Xiao Han lowered his eyes, not knowing what else to say.

If Meng Zhen was willing to talk to him a few more words, perhaps he could detect something unusual from a few words, and he would be happy to spend a lot of time coaxing her.

But she refused to say anything, so his answer became: "I'm glad you're okay. If you're unhappy about anything, you can tell me."

Meng Zhen's lips moved, but she didn't have the courage to speak. She just said, "Well, thank you. I'll hang up first."

The call was disconnected. Meng Zhen put down the phone and rubbed her face with both hands in frustration.

When did she become so timid and self-deprecating?

Xiao Han sighed deeply and immediately sent a WeChat message to Meng Anran: "Miss, it's not that I don't want to coax her, but your sister won't say anything, so how can I coax her? I asked her if she wanted to go shopping, and she said no. I asked her if she was in a bad mood, and she said nothing. I can't even continue the conversation. How can I coax her? I can't just open her head and see what's inside, can I? You have such a deep sisterly relationship with her, can't you show some concern? Coaxing people has never been my strong point, right? If all else fails, why don't you ask Lu Yi for advice and make a detailed PPT for me to study word for word?"

Seeing the long paragraph of complaints sent by Xiao Han, Meng Anran narrowed his eyes, threw the phone aside, and signaled the employee who was explaining the new project planning to continue reporting.

She didn't have time to care about Meng Zhen's emotions for the time being.
