Chapter 326 Visiting the Bookstore (1)
"To make a living?" Ruan Meng raised her eyebrows, looked at the paparazzi, and raised a slight arc at the corner of her mouth: "Well, you need to make a living. In addition to damaging our interests, what do you think I should do?"
The man who had been hoping for the best a few seconds ago, thinking he had gotten first-hand explosive news, suddenly felt his heart skip a beat and his eyes began to dart around subconsciously.
When Ruan Meng saw his expression, she knew that he had not given up yet.
He wanted to run away with the so-called scandals about Emperor Mo and Ruan Xiaohua.
Ruan Meng suddenly chuckled, but there was no warmth in her voice.
Just when the man was gathering up his courage and preparing to run, a row of figures suddenly appeared behind Ruan Meng, all wearing the same black clothing.
Anyone with sufficient eyesight can tell that the person's bodyguard has arrived.
"Miss, let us handle this man." Leng Ying came to Ruan Meng's side, took off her sunglasses, and glanced at the paparazzi lightly without a trace of emotion in her eyes. Ruan Meng did not linger too long.
Leng Ying or the Mo family's bodyguards had already handled this kind of thing very well, and there was no need for her to remind them, but...
Ruan Meng had just taken two steps when she suddenly turned around and waved at Leng Ying. Leng Ying was stunned for a moment, felt something strange in her heart, and walked straight over.
"Madam?" Leng Ying's voice was very low, because she could see that Ruan Meng wanted to tell her something alone. Ruan Meng was not surprised that Leng Ying understood her intention. She avoided the group of bodyguards and said softly, "Watch this place in person. We should stay here until noon, and then go to the Mo family to have dinner with Mo Yuting."
"yes…"
As soon as he finished speaking, a hint of ruthlessness flashed across Leng Ying's eyes, but disappeared in an instant, and she began to patrol with her bodyguards as if nothing had happened.
She did not ask anyone else to help the paparazzi who secretly took the photos of Ruan Meng and Mo Zixuan.
Standing at the entrance of the alley, she personally contacted Mo Yuting's personal bodyguard Lin Yuan and asked Lin Yuan to arrange a trusted confidant to handle the matter, while Leng Ying herself stayed here to keep an eye on it.
She doesn't trust other people.
Just now, Ruan Meng specifically emphasized to her again that it was not because she was worried about her.
Instead, he sensed unrest within the Mohist school.
This can be seen from the paparazzi who arrived first.
After Leng Ying gave the orders, Ruan Meng also found Mo Zixuan and the two children, but they seemed to have encountered some minor troubles.
The bookstore they chose was not big and had a comfortable home style.
There are no special rules except to keep quiet. It even has its own private garden where you can order some refreshments and sit inside to read.
When Ruan Meng walked in, she saw a group of two children, one adult, gathered in front of the bar.
In order to avoid causing any sensation and to be able to relax with his two children, Mo Zixuan finally wore a mask, but it was not that exaggerated. At least it was more low-key than Ruan Lele who wore Shamatte-style glasses.
Well, more low-key than Ruan Anan who was wearing rock clothes.
At first glance, Ruan Meng suddenly felt that Mo Zixuan was the most insignificant person among their group of people. It turned out that she was born with such beautiful looks!
"What happened?"
Ruan Meng slowly walked to the three people and saw that the receptionist, Mo Zixuan, and Ruan Anan all looked embarrassed. Only Ruan Lele was pouting and looking angry. She was a little curious for a moment, but she never expected that the three people were even more surprised after seeing her.
"Mommy! You're finally here! You don't know how unreliable your eldest and second brothers are!" Ruan Lele looked at Ruan Meng as if she had seen a savior. She didn't care about being angry and just clung to Ruan Meng's thighs.
Before getting off the bus, in order to prevent the two children from shouting "Brother Zixuan" or something like that in the street and attracting onlookers, Ruan Meng specifically asked the two children to simply call Mo Zixuan "Big Brother", and Ruan Lele to call Ruan Anan "Second Brother".
Seeing Ruan Lele's resentment, Ruan Meng naturally cast a doubtful look at Mo Zixuan, the only adult among the three juniors. Mo Zixuan immediately smiled awkwardly: "Um... I forgot to bring my wallet..."
Ruan Meng raised her eyebrows, looked around at the awkward expressions of Mo Zixuan and the receptionist, and tried hard to suppress her smile: "Where's your phone?"
"I forgot it in the car..." Mo Zixuan responded sullenly.
This time, Ruan Meng got the answer without even thinking.
I guess the cheerful Ruan Lele saw the bookstore’s own private garden, so she wanted to go there to read books, so she needed to place an order.
Then, they were tragic.
The older one didn’t bring any money, and the younger one has no money either.
Ruan Lele was already very anxious and a little unhappy. Now she saw her mommy, whom she had been waiting for for a long time, finally came in, but was still chatting with the unreliable big brother. She immediately became unhappy and continued to mess around with Ruan Meng with her little hands.
"Mommy, mommy! I want to eat tiramisu! And I want to drink lemon honey!"
"Um."
In order to avoid staying at the bar for too long and attracting onlookers, Ruan Meng didn't even have the heart to tease Mo Zixuan. After ordering a lot of desserts that they couldn't finish, she let Mo Zixuan take Ruan Lele to the back garden first, while she took Ruan Anan, who was not hungry and didn't miss the back garden, to the art area.
Seeing that there were not many people in this small area, Ruan Meng put Ruan Anan on the ground.
Let him choose the books he likes.
After a while, Ruan Meng, who was always keeping an eye on the children, immediately discovered that Ruan Anan was basically reading some books related to painting, and she became curious for a moment.
"Does Dabao like painting?"
But Ruan Meng had never heard Ruan Anan mention that she wanted to learn painting!
Ruan Anan paused while selecting the album, her face turned red for no apparent reason, she turned her head and whispered to Ruan Meng, "I think I'm a little interested..."
Somewhat interested?
Ruan Meng was even more surprised to hear Ruan Anan say this.
The children are still too young, and the art classes in kindergarten are mostly based on play and cognition, and technical skills are not actually involved at all.
So what exactly is her eldest child interested in? Should she hire a professional art teacher to test her child's interests?
"Little friend, the book you picked is indeed a basic art book suitable for young children, but you are still too young, I am afraid you won't understand it!"
Just when Ruan Meng was distracted and thinking about other things, a man's voice as gentle as jade suddenly sounded beside her ear. She was so startled that she subconsciously protected Dabao, who was a few steps away from her, in her arms and looked at the person with a wary look.
The man saw Ruan Meng's aura and his face full of wariness towards him. He felt amused and at the same time hurriedly took two steps back to make his attitude clear.
"I'm sorry, I didn't mean any harm."
Ruan Meng narrowed her eyes and saw that the man in front of her was full of bookish air and looked frail. She suddenly felt relieved.
He took Dabao and distanced himself from the man a little before nodding slightly.
"Thanks."
"No need..." Wen Zishu was stunned for a moment before realizing that Ruan Meng was thanking him for his guidance in choosing books for the child. He smiled slightly and did not take the initiative to approach.
But he didn't leave on his own initiative.
Ruan Anan, who was held in Ruan Meng's arms, blinked and secretly tugged at the corner of Ruan Meng's clothes. Ruan Meng thought about it and finally let him go.
After leaving Ruan Meng's arms, Ruan Anan stood there and glanced at Wen Zishu. Seeing that her mother had no objection, she took a step forward and raised her little face, "Uncle, could you please teach me how to choose books? I want to learn painting!"
"Learning to paint requires both talent and hard work. It requires perseverance and can be boring occasionally. Can you stand it?" Wen Zishu did not respond directly just because the child in front of him was wearing rock-style children's clothing or looked rich or noble. Instead, he pointed out the facts and waited for the child to give an answer.
Ruan Meng, who was standing aside, glanced at Wen Zishu covertly and felt a little more favorable towards this man. Ruan Anan felt the same way as Ruan Meng.
"I can do it! I will try my best!"
After Ruan Anan gave a positive answer again, Wen Zishu quickly glanced at Ruan Meng. Ruan Meng did not object and nodded slowly. Wen Zishu then squatted down and faced Ruan Anan: "Okay! Let's choose together!"
Wen Zishu is just like his name.
The temperament is gentle, like an ancient book with profound background.
It gives people a feeling like a spring breeze.
With Wen Zishu's company and guidance, Ruan Anan listened obediently and selected several introductory books suitable for him, just like holding a baby.
Ruan Meng, a layman who has no interest in painting, feels that time passes very quickly and the process is not boring at all.
An hour passed before Wen Zishu and Dabao finally had their fun.
It’s not that they have finished their selection, but the books in this bookstore are limited, and the ones suitable for Ruan Anan have already been picked out by Wen Zishu, so there is nothing left to buy.
Ruan Meng carried a small basket, put all the books that Ruan Anan wanted in it, and then held the child's hand while introducing herself: "Hello, I'm Ruan Meng."
"I'm Wen Zishu, the art teacher at the No. 1 Primary School." Wen Zishu raised his signature smile and nodded slightly. He showed no emotion when he heard the name 'Ruan Meng'. Seeing this, Ruan Meng's expression became more real.
Don't know her?
fine.
As for strangers, as long as the risk factors are eliminated, Ruan Meng is always not interested. She just keeps on talking without saying anything extra.
Little Ruan Anan, who had already established a friendship with Wen Zishu, asked obediently and a little silly: "Art teacher? Uncle is so awesome! But today is not the weekend? Doesn't uncle have to teach?"
"Then can you tell me, little friend, why are you not in school today since it's not the weekend?" Wen Zishu easily threw the question back.
"Ah... this..."
Ruan Anan, who was outmaneuvered, scratched his head. Although he was honest and straightforward, he was still a little shy. He stammered and couldn't say anything.
He couldn't say that his sister was being naughty and didn't want to go to school, right?
Well, he wasn’t innocent either, after all, he was able to go to school alone.
Ruan Meng turned her head and touched the blushing Ruan Anan, pursed her lips and smiled, not embarrassed: "My little daughter is being stubborn, so we won't go."
"Mommy...I heard you say bad things about me..."
As soon as he finished speaking, a sad, baby voice sounded behind Ruan Meng. Not only Ruan Meng, but Wen Zishu also subconsciously looked over there past Ruan Meng.
A little girl in cute clothes suddenly caught Wen Zishu's eyes.
It’s just that the little dinosaur glasses on his face don’t match…
"Bad words? Not really." Ruan Meng didn't respond to Ruan Lele's words, but when she saw that there was no trace of Mo Zixuan behind her, her brows immediately furrowed: "Are you alone? Have you been running around again?"
Mo Zixuan couldn't possibly let Ruan Lele run out to find her on her own.
It must be Ruan Lele who threw a tantrum and sneaked out when Mo Zixuan wasn't paying attention. Mo Zixuan didn't even bring his cell phone with him, so who knows how anxious he must be!
Ruan Lele's scalp tingled when Ruan Meng stared at her. She felt guilty, pouted her lips, and pointed her fingers innocently: "I just came out to get some fresh air... and asked Mommy to come over to rest with me... It's Mommy's fault for not coming back for so long..."
"What? You still think you're right? Even if you want to go out for some fresh air, you can always ask your big brother to accompany you. Would he reject you if you wanted to come to me?"
Ruan Meng kept a straight face and ignored Ruan Lele's unreasonable arguments.
She thought that the conversation with the little guy this morning would at least make him listen a little more, be more restrained, or at least not be so naughty and willful.
Does Ruan Lele know whether she is sensible or not, or to what extent? Although her two cute babies are young, they have high IQs.
If you deliberately test your IQ, you will definitely surprise many people.
If Ruan Meng had not been strict at this moment, Ruan Lele would not have realized what would happen to a child as young as her if she encountered danger without an adult by her side, and she would not have realized how many children were abducted in this society every day.
It seems that crisis awareness and safety courses are still not popularized enough!
In the blink of an eye, Ruan Meng had already customized a series of educational plans for Ruan Lele in her mind, especially those that would be implemented when she returned home tonight.
For example, play various versions of safety education cartoons for Ruan Lele in a loop, until she can recite them by heart or even feels like vomiting.
"Mommy... let's go over there quickly... big brother will be worried..." Seeing her sister looking so pitiful, Ruan Anan wanted to apologize to Ruan Meng on her behalf. Wen Zishu beside her also spoke up at the right time: "Then I won't bother you anymore..."
"Yeah." Ruan Meng pursed her lips, nodded at Wen Zishu first, and then stared at the two children with a cold face and no emotion, preparing to find Mo Zixuan. Unexpectedly, they had just taken two steps when Mo Zixuan came.
"LeLe! Why did you run away without telling me? I was so scared! I thought you were kidnapped! I was really scared!"
Mo Zixuan was sweating profusely, and the mask on his face had long disappeared.
As a popular male god, he showed off his stunning looks, but the series of searches made his clothes a little messy and he looked a little embarrassed.
It's a bit different from his usual elegant and calm appearance.
The two little guys, Ruan Anan and Ruan Lele, almost failed to recognize him.
Ruan Meng also sighed when she saw this.
"Zixuan, don't be nervous, relax, she is here to see me."
"I'm glad you're okay..." Mo Zixuan opened his mouth, took deep breaths, and looked back and forth at Ruan Meng and Ruan Lele. Suddenly, he squatted on the ground, like a normal person who needed some time to recover after being stimulated.
Without waiting for Ruan Meng to say anything, Ruan Lele, feeling extremely guilty, rushed over, took out a tissue from her small backpack and handed it to Mo Zixuan.
"Brother...I'm sorry...I won't run around anymore next time..."
