Meng Fuyan was so happy that she prepared quite a lot of things for Lu Xingci.
When Lu Xingye arrived, she had almost finished packing everything. When he saw so much food in the kitchen, Lu Xingye's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.
This is how Meng Fuyan looks after she's tidied herself up. If he saw her original appearance, he'd probably think his little sister had robbed the supply and marketing cooperative.
"Yanyan, you have so much food here?"
Meng Fuyan laughed and said, "That's right! I stocked up on a batch of goods in Northeast China before. When I first arrived in the countryside, although I had money and ration coupons, I was still panicked. I didn't know how to farm, and I was always worried that I would starve to death one day, so I stocked up on food whenever I had the chance."
"Fortunately, that place is rich in resources, and there are many wild game in the mountains. I often go hunting there and have stocked up on a lot of meat!"
It has to be said that Meng Fuyan is very good at speaking. As soon as she said those words, Lu Xingye thought of the young girl who was forced to go to the countryside, and his heart was filled with heartache.
"Part of it is the New Year's goods I prepared after I came back. Uncle Lu also gave me some coupons. During the New Year, as long as you are willing to spend money, you can always get some good things. You know that, right? There are only two of us, Yunji and I, and we can't eat that much. But it has accumulated to a lot by now."
"Oh right, most of these were brought by Brother Gu. He just arrived today and knew I'm currently unemployed, so he brought me extra. He made a great contribution this year and received many rewards."
Lu Xingye's attention was indeed diverted. "Brother Gu? Is that Gu Tingzhi who's been helping you all along?"
Meng Fuyan nodded, "Mm!"
Lu Xingye immediately became wary. "Does he care about you? He was always helping you when you were in the Northeast? I know that Lao San asked him to take care of you, but you've already gone home, so why did he come back?"
If he remembered correctly, that guy was from the Gu family in Kyoto. What was he doing in Changning City? And why was he bringing so many supplies for Yanyan?
snort!
Yan Yan has never lacked money since she was a child, so she wouldn't be interested in his little things!
However, Meng Fuyan's next words made Lu Xingye extremely jealous.
“We were dating, and since it was Chinese New Year, he had some free time, so of course he came to see me.”
Lu Xingye: "..."
a bolt from the blue!
He had just thought that the guy probably had a crush on Yanyan and was pursuing her, which was why he was so eager to win her over. But he didn't expect that they had already developed a relationship.
Is his girl that easy to pursue?
impossible!
So many talented young men in Changning City want to pursue her, but Yan Yan has never been seen to care about anyone before. How could she be won over by someone else so quickly?
Lu Xingye was extremely anxious. After thinking it over and over, he felt that it must be because Yanyan had gone to the countryside and was in a vulnerable state. At this time, she would get carried away if someone comforted her with just a few words.
Gu Tingzhi took advantage of the situation; hmph, what a cunning fellow.
Lu Xingye earnestly advised, "Yanyan! I know you're young, this is your first time dating, and you're going through a low point in your life, but you have to be careful. Men outside can easily deceive young girls, especially a pretty girl like you."
"Don't be fooled by others! Think about it, your family is in Changning City, where there are old members of the Meng family. Everyone watched you grow up. Besides our family protecting you, the other elders will also take care of you to some extent. If you stay here to work, things will definitely go much more smoothly."
"Gu Tingzhi is from Beijing, right? His job is in the Northeast, isn't it? That's so far away. If you date him, what about the future? Are you going to marry him and move to the Northeast? What about your job? What about Yunji?"
"He's a grown man who only thinks about getting married. Anyway, his salary can support you. How much more can he consider for you? You can stay in Changning City and be free. Your family's wealth is all here. Why go with him to a place where you don't know anyone, right?"
Meng Fuyan: "..."
Looking at Lu Xingye's worried expression, she felt a little amused, yet also warmed.
These are words only someone who truly cares about her would say!
If it were someone else, they might think that marrying into a family like the Gu family would be a form of security for an orphan like her with a child in tow!
Yes, the Meng family's stronghold is in Changning City. They used to be the local tyrants of Changning City. Even though the elders of the Meng family are no longer here, their influence still lingers. She must be living a more comfortable life than in other places.
If it weren't for the fact that being with Gu Tingzhi would have made her life and career no worse than here, and would have made it easier for her to take revenge, she wouldn't have been so foolish as to marry someone from so far away!
Meng Fuyan smiled and comforted him, "Big brother, don't worry, I know what I'm doing. It's definitely because he can give me something better that I'm willing to risk marrying him so far away. Otherwise, why would I leave Changning City? Here, with you and Uncle Lu protecting me, I feel so comfortable."
Meng Fuyan said mysteriously to Lu Xingye, "Brother, don't tell anyone else! Gu Tingzhi cares about me a lot. He takes my problems to heart and helps me solve them. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been able to get away so easily from the Northeast incident and even send the Zhang and Wu families to jail afterwards."
“I can finally relax now, thanks to his great help. And his job is already secured; he's going back to the military, not far from Beijing. Even if I do marry him, we'll most likely live near Beijing, not in a remote place.”
"He also promised me that he would help me find a way to save some people who were previously on good terms with the Meng family. He is now a favorite of the higher-ups, and the Gu family values him highly. Maybe he can really make it happen."
Lu Xingye asked in shock, "Really? He's really willing to help you?"
There are several very important people in the Meng family. If they could return, the Meng family's position in Changning City would be even more secure.
His father's position will be much more secure.
Meng Fuyan nodded, "It's true. So you see, during this special period, most people wouldn't risk doing these things for me. He's willing to help me with something so sensitive, which shows he really cares about me. Besides, I happen to like him too. In this situation, of course we can date!"
Lu Xingye seemed to be convinced, but he was still worried.
"But...where is he? Let me see him."
Meng Fuyan smiled and said, "He left after lunch. He has to go through a lot to help me. If he is still here when you come back, I will definitely arrange for you to meet him. Besides, if I really have to make a big decision, I will definitely take him to meet Uncle Lu."
Seeing that she seemed to know what was going on, Lu Xingye felt a little relieved.
"It's good that you know the truth. You must take him to meet your dad when the time comes, so he can give you his opinion and check his character."
Meng Fuyan nodded obediently, "Okay! Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I'll tell Uncle Lu when the time comes."
"Time's almost up, hurry up and grab your things, let's get to the train station."
