Chapter 320 You two brothers are really the same

Jinyu Restaurant.

The crystal chandelier illuminates the box with golden splendor, and the waiter is serving the last dish, “Year after Year of Abundance”.

Mengrong was so happy to see her children all coming back: "It seems like it's been a long time since we sat together as a family for a meal."

Meng Anran said leisurely: "Dad, it's only been half a month since we last went home for dinner."

"Ahem, is that so?" Meng Rong touched his nose awkwardly. "Maybe I've been too busy lately. It feels like I haven't seen you guys for a long time."

"Second sister, why don't you go to Yandu Hotel and come here?" Meng Chenghong looked around. The decoration was also very nice, but the scale was not as good as that of Yandu Hotel.

The most important thing is, you have your own hotel, why spend money to eat somewhere else?

"I just came by to check the accounts." Meng Anran said lightly, earning several pairs of round eyes. She took a sip of tea slowly, "This restaurant is also under my name. It was a gift from Lu Heng."

When this person was mentioned, everyone suddenly fell silent.

They all knew that Meng Anran's PTSD came from Lu Heng, so they didn't have much good impression of Lu Heng.

What's more, when Meng Anran just returned to the Meng family, Lu Heng tried to snatch her away with an extremely bad attitude.

Meng Yushu stood up and took charge of serving soup to everyone. He said leisurely, "We are a family, but we are also independent individuals, each with their own different social circles."

The first bowl of soup was placed in front of Meng Anran. He looked at his sister and smiled gently: "Anran has the right to treat people in the way she wants."

Lu Heng and Lu Yi are just strangers to the Meng family, and their only connection is with Meng Anran.

Meng Anran has the right to hate them or love them.

As a family member, not interfering and not judging is the greatest respect.

"Thank you, brother." Meng Anran smiled back, picked up the spoon and lowered her head to drink the soup.

Although she hadn't said anything yet, her brother seemed to be able to see that there had been subtle changes in the relationship between her and Lu Heng.

It's very strange, maybe Meng Yushu has always been so observant.

"By the way, I brought back some local specialties from Hai City." Meng Zhen changed the subject, breaking the tense atmosphere. "Xiao Han also prepared New Year gifts for you and left them in the car."

"Hey, Xiao Han went back to have dinner with his family. What about Qin Mu?" Su Wanman suddenly remembered this question and looked at Meng Anran. "Didn't the Qin couple go traveling around the world? Why didn't they let Qin Mu and his sister come over for dinner?"

"Uncle and aunt are on the plane." Meng Anran put down the spoon, wiped her mouth, and continued, "They also brought Qin Mu's grandparents back to celebrate the New Year together. The brother and sister will go to the airport to pick them up later."

"The Qin Hua couple have returned to China?" Meng Rong's eyes lit up instantly. "Then can we take this opportunity to meet and discuss your marriage with Qin Mu?"

Meng Anran:???

How anxious are you to marry me off?

Su Wanman continued, "You two have known each other for so many years and have been in love for five years. Zhizhi and Xiaojing are already married, so why haven't you two sent any news yet?"

Meng Anran drank her soup silently. She never expected that someone with her conditions would be forced to get married by her parents.

"And you." Meng Rong's eyes suddenly turned to Meng Yushu, who was watching the show on the side. "Look at you, you're 25 years old, and you've never even held a girl's hand. When will we be able to bring a girl back for us to meet?"

Meng Yushu suddenly stopped laughing, turned his gaze away silently, and muttered, "It's the rising stage of career, first establish a career and then start a family."

"Even after you've established your career, you still need someone willing to start a family with you!" Meng Rong retorted mercilessly, "You two are so alike, always talking about rising, rising. One is a business tycoon, the other is an entertainment star. Where do you want to go?"

"Wait until I become the richest man in Beijing." Meng Anran said leisurely.

Meng Yushu quickly followed up: "Wait until I win the Grand Slam."

"You two—" Meng Rong looked like he wanted to urge someone but couldn't find the words, which made everyone laugh.

In the tea room separated from the box by a door.

Lu Qingcheng poured boiling water into the teapot, the mist blurring her vision. Through a carved wooden door, the cheerful laughter of the Meng family could be heard.

"Yushu, my friend's daughter is about your age. Why don't you take some time to meet her?"

"Dad, your attitude of urging me to get married is scarier than the headlines on marketing accounts."

The glass trembled slightly in her hand.

Such an ordinary family conversation seemed like a story from another world to her.

Since leaving the Meng family, she had never heard anyone speak to her in such an intimate tone.

All that happiness originally belonged to her, but she didn't cherish it.

My phone vibrated in my pocket. A text message came from an unfamiliar number: "Meng Anran first stole seventeen years of your wealth and glory, then snatched away your loved ones. She has everything, while you're reduced to serving tea. There's a white pill in the tea drawer. Just put it in Meng Anran's teacup, and I'll give you one million."

Lu Qingcheng clenched her cell phone fiercely. Through the hollow carvings on the door, she saw Meng Anran smiling and dodging Su Wanman's fingers that were poking her forehead. Her red dress was like a warm flame.

Lu Qingcheng found the pills in the drawer and held them in her palm. The cold plastic packaging made her palm hurt.

"Is the Longjing tea ready?" the foreman urged outside the door.

"Right away." Lu Qingcheng answered reflexively.

She took a deep breath, brewed some tea, and put on a professional smile as she pushed the door open.

When they saw the familiar face, the Meng family was all shocked.

"Lu Qingcheng? Why are you here?" Meng Chenghong was the first to jump up from his seat, fearing that this woman would cause trouble again and frame his brother and sister.

Lu Qingcheng's expression froze on her face. She knew that Meng Anran was the owner of this restaurant. With just one word from Meng Anran, she would lose her only source of income.

So, she didn't dare to speak.

Meng Anran looked at Lu Qingcheng quietly, her peach blossom eyes were as calm as a deep well, as if she was looking at an insignificant stranger.

Seeing that Lu Qingcheng didn't speak for a long time, she withdrew her gaze calmly: "Xiaohong, sit down."

"Second sister! Why is she working here? Who knew she—"

Without waiting for Meng Chenghong to finish his words, Meng Anran gave him a calm glance. He didn't dare to speak again and sat down obediently.

Meng Rong and Su Wanman lowered their heads, obviously not wanting to pay attention to Lu Qingcheng, nor willing to interfere with Meng Anran's decision.

Meng Zhen and Meng Yushu looked at each other, then turned their gaze back to Lu Qingcheng, ready to wait and see what would happen.

"Pour some tea." Meng Anran said indifferently, asking Lu Qingcheng to continue working, which was a hint that she would not fire Lu Qingcheng because of the old incident.

"Okay." Lu Qingcheng responded stiffly and began to replace everyone's tea with freshly brewed Longjing tea.

When she finally reached Meng Anran's side, she hesitated for a moment and said, "Meng...Mr. An, there's something I want to tell you."
