Chapter 162 Wait for me to pick you up
After Meng Huaizhang finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Wei Chuan wrote down the other party's number before his phone screen went black, and then carried Meng Huaizhang back to the room.
After taking a shower, Wei Chuan looked at the number on his phone and began to ponder.
Meng Huaizhang said that eating was fine, but playing cards was not. His tone sounded familiar.
But as a person who was imprisoned for gambling, he should not associate with people who gamble and even make dinner arrangements with them.
Birds of a feather flock together. No one can guarantee that Meng Huaizhang will not commit the same crime again.
If he gets into debt again, should Meng Tang sell his old house?
Wei Chuan frowned. This really made him worry.
It seems that he needs to check the person named "Lao Liao" on the phone.
However, his face was so ugly that he would be exposed if he went there, and he couldn't let his family investigate.
Thinking of this, Wei Chuan couldn't sleep at all, so he simply tiptoed out of the house.
Seeing that Meng Tang’s window had gone dark, Wei Chuan went straight to knock on Meng Yuchun’s door.
After knocking twice and getting no response, Wei Chuan simply pushed the door open.
The old man was snoring. Wei Chuan hesitated for only two seconds and shook Meng Yuchun's shoulder: "Old man, wake up quickly and don't sleep anymore."
Meng Yuchun drowsily opened his eyes, and it took him a long while to respond: "I'm saying, are you sick? It's the middle of the night, are you trying to get me up and go back to sleep?"
Wei Chuan scratched his head: "It's your troublesome son. I suspect he will go gambling again."
Meng Yuchun suddenly woke up: "What did you say?"
"Do you know Lao Liao?" Wei Chuan said, "He called to ask me out for dinner, but I said I only want to eat, not play cards."
Meng Yuchun frowned. "This Lao Liao runs a mahjong parlor. He used to be friends with Huai Zhang. The mahjong parlor doesn't take a commission. They make money from venue fees and food and beverage sales."
In other words, playing cards there is just a way to kill time and entertain yourself, not to the extent of gambling.
But Meng Huaizhang had a criminal record, so he couldn't even go to a mahjong parlor.
"I'll go check it out tomorrow. You go to bed."
Wei Chuan responded and returned to the room.
The next morning, Wei Chuan was obviously absent-minded.
After once again being in a daze and dropping his phone, Meng Tang couldn't help but ask: "What are you thinking about?"
"No." Wei Chuan looked at her, "I was just playing with my phone."
Meng Tang frowned and glanced towards the courtyard: "Why isn't Grandpa home?"
After saying this, the old man walked from the front yard into the middle yard.
Wei Chuan stood up quickly, and Meng Tang blinked. Why was he in such a hurry?
"How is it?" Wei Chuan went forward.
The old man shook his head: "I didn't play cards, I just had two meals."
Wei Chuan breathed a sigh of relief. It was good that he didn't fight. He said, "It's better to let him go to the mahjong parlor less often."
Meng Tang came over and asked, "What are you talking about?"
"No." Wei Chuan turned and smiled at her, "I'm just concerned about the old man."
Sister Fang came out of the kitchen and called out, "It's time for dinner."
Wei Chuan hurried to serve the dishes and rice.
Meng Huaizhang didn't come back at noon, and the atmosphere among the four of them was quite relaxed. Meng Yuchun asked Wei Chuan, "What time is the train tomorrow? Have you bought your ticket?"
Wei Chuan said, "I'll take the 9am bus and rush home to have lunch."
Meng Yuchun nodded and said, "Let Meng Tang take you to the station tomorrow. Come over and visit again when you have the chance."
"Okay." Wei Chuan smiled. "My training will be over on the 25th. I'll come pick Meng Tang up and take him to school then."
Meng Yuchun said, "Okay, you guys make your own arrangements."
In the afternoon, Meng Tang took out the oil mud, but before he could do anything, Sister Fang hurried over and said that someone was looking for her.
Meng Tang was stunned: "Who is looking for me?"
Sister Fang said, "He said he was your classmate."
Meng Tang frowned. Classmates? She had no contact with her former classmates.
"I'll go take a look."
She put down the oil mud, went out of the backyard, and ran into Wei Chuan who came to look for her.
"Where are you going in such a hurry?"
"Sister Fang said someone was looking for me at the door."
Wei Chuan turned around: "I'll go with you to take a look."
"Um."
The two of them walked out of the front yard together. When Meng Tang saw the person standing at the door, he was a little confused, even a little ridiculous.
"Zhou Fei?"
Wei Chuan raised his eyebrows and looked the other person up and down. He was quite tall, probably over 185cm. Judging from his figure, he was also someone who exercised regularly. His face was just so-so and could not be compared with his.
Wei Chuan simply leaned against the door and looked at the other person casually.
Zhou Fei smiled and said, "I heard you were back. I happened to be at home on vacation, so I came to see you."
Meng Tang: “…”
Seeing that Meng Tang didn't say anything, Zhou Fei looked at Wei Chuan and asked, "Is this your boyfriend?"
Meng Tang was impatient: "What's the matter with you?"
"There's a class reunion in mid-month. Do you want to bring your boyfriend?"
"Get out!" Wei Chuan spoke before Meng Tang, his eyes suddenly turned cold, and he looked at Zhou Fei with a low gaze.
Meng Tang looked back and obviously didn't expect Wei Chuan to be so direct.
Zhou Fei was also stunned.
"Don't understand?" Wei Chuan walked to Meng Tang and looked down at him.
Wei Chuan is a young master raised with wealth and wealth, and he is well-mannered, but when he gets angry, his temper is definitely bad, and his aura is enough to overwhelm others.
Zhou Fei was not blind. He knew at first glance that Wei Chuan was not someone he could afford to offend.
I'm afraid Meng Tang has already told him about what happened in the past.
Zhong Wenjin said something to him, and he ran over in a fit of rage, which was simply humiliating himself.
In the end, I could only leave in shame.
"Fuck." Wei Chuan cursed softly, then turned to Meng Tang and said, "It's a good thing you don't like this kind of coward."
Wei Chuan felt disgusted when he thought about the fact that he had once pursued Meng Tang.
Meng Tang stared at him for a long time, then stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the face: "I like you."
Wei Chuan was pleased with himself and put his arm around her waist: "You must love me for the rest of your life."
Meng Tang smiled and said, "Okay."
The person who got the promise was so excited that he wanted to kiss her, but out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of an unpleasant figure.
I should have checked the calendar when I got up today, because all the evil spirits are coming to my door.
Wei Chuan stood up and patted Meng Tang on the waist: "Li Hanjin is here, you go in first."
"Don't fight."
Meng Tang gave some instructions and turned to go into the house.
Li Hanjin's "Junior Sister" was stuck in his throat, and the look he gave Wei Chuan was like the sharp icicles under the eaves of a corridor in winter.
Wei Chuan stood in front of the door in a petty manner: "Brother, are you here to annoy me again?"
A trace of disgust flashed in Li Hanjin's eyes.
"Some people dress like decent people, but they're actually full of evil." Wei Chuan looked at him provocatively. "Whether Meng Tang and I are a good match or not is not your decision. And don't pester my uncle like a rat all day long. What kind of brainwashing did you give him?"
Li Hanjin laughed: "Did Uncle Zhang tell you?"
"Yes." Wei Chuan looked at him calmly, "After all, I am his future son-in-law. Of course he has to tell me about your little tricks."
Li Hanjin clenched his fist.
Wei Chuan made a "please" gesture and said, "Go back to where you came from. I never use my family's connections easily, but if you make me angry, even Yan Qing will be out of your reach."
He was not willing to go this far. For Chinese people, hometown is something engraved in their bones.
He was willing to leave some leeway, all for Meng Yuchun's sake.
When Wei Chuan came back, Meng Tang had already started playing with mud. Just as he was about to start, Meng Tang glared at him and said, "Don't move."
Wei Chuan laughed and said, "I drove them away."
Meng Tang looked at him helplessly: "Have you worked hard?"
Wei Chuan rolled his eyes, put his arms around her waist and kissed her on the face.
His breath rolled around his ears, and Meng Tang felt itchy and uncomfortable. He smiled and dodged: "Wei Chuan, let me go."
Wei Chuan bullied her because she had mud on her hands and played with her even more enthusiastically.
Not only did he move his mouth, but he also scratched her waist with his hands in a very naughty way.
"Wei Chuan!" Meng Tang was at his wit's end. "I'm angry."
Wei Chuan then stopped and pecked her face several times in a soothing manner: "Okay, okay, I'm leaving and won't disturb you."
Meng Tang snorted and rolled his eyes at him.
After spending the entire afternoon bored, Meng Tang washed his hands before dinner.
There was no Meng Huaizhang at the table, so Wei Chuan asked Sister Fang, "Isn't Uncle coming back for dinner?"
Sister Fang said, "I called. There's something going on at the factory."
Meng Huaizhang did have something to do, and when he was rushing back, he met Lao Liao. The two of them discussed and found a place to eat.
Meng Huaizhang was still a little uncomfortable with drinking rice wine, so he boasted to Lao Liao about Wei Chuan, praising him from his family background to his appearance and character.
Lao Liao poured him a glass of wine enthusiastically: "Your daughter Tangnan is also good, it's worth it."
Meng Huaizhang chuckled, then sighed: "But her boyfriend's family is too well-off, the gap is a bit big. I don't know if Meng Tang will have a good life after they get married."
"What are you worrying about?" Old Liao patted Meng Huaizhang's shoulder. "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings."
Meng Huaizhang smiled and said, "Drink, drink."
Lao Liao's cell phone rang, and he picked it up loudly: "Hello... Did you make back your investment? How much? I'll go... OK, OK, OK..."
Meng Huaizhang saw him hang up the phone and asked, "What's the return?"
Old Liao beamed with joy: "Some time ago, my cousin and I went there... The paperwork was approved quickly... We made a net profit in a year... It's better than working..."
He mumbled a lot, and Meng Huaizhang only heard that he made a net profit of 400,000 yuan a year.
"Is that really how you make money?"
"Why would I lie to you?"
Meng Huaizhang smiled and said, "Tell me more.
Lao Liao poured him a glass of wine and said, "Okay, let's talk slowly, brothers."
It was late at night when Meng Huaizhang returned to the old house.
The next morning, Wei Chuan got up very early.
Meng Tang also woke up and knocked on his door.
"Come in." Wei Chuan turned his head. "Why are you up so early?"
Meng Tang said, "I set the alarm to take you to the high-speed rail station. Sister Fang should have made breakfast."
"Okay." Wei Chuan responded, "I'll pack my luggage."
I already packed it up last night, and now I’m sorting out the small bits and pieces.
After a while, Sister Fang knocked on the door: "Xiaochuan, are you ready? Come over for breakfast."
"Okay." Wei Chuan put the box at the end of the bed and smiled at Meng Tang, "Let's go eat."
Meng Tang: "You go first, I'll brush my teeth."
"good."
Sister Fang made xiaolongbao again because she found out that Wei Chuan liked it.
The old man was old and got up early. At the dinner table, he said to Wei Chuan, "Go back and tell your parents how they are."
"knew."
At around 7:30, Meng Tang sent Wei Chuan to the high-speed rail station.
The 9 o'clock train, plus the time wasted on the road, is enough for me to pass security and enter the station.
Wei Chuan turned around and hugged Meng Tang into his arms, whispering in her ear, "I'll come pick you up at the end of the month."
"good."
