"You knew?" Meng Zhili asked, somewhat embarrassed.
"Why go looking for a beating? Chen Liu doesn't know how to hold back."
“If you do something wrong, you deserve to be hit, but that was agreed upon from the beginning.” Meng Zhili smiled, not feeling that there was anything wrong with taking the punch. Come to think of it, he was the one who asked for the beating, so neither morally nor logically did he have to blame Chen Liu.
"Wanwan."
Meng Zhili called out to Meng Wan.
"how?"
“I was confused before, and I sincerely apologize to you.” After saying this, Meng Zhili bowed to Meng Wan. “I promise you, this will never happen again.”
Meng Wan curled her lips slightly, gave an ambiguous "oh," and walked towards the bus stop.
Meng Zhili was somewhat puzzled, but dared not ask any more questions. He stepped forward and stood beside Meng Wan. When he lowered his head and saw the faint smile on Meng Wan's lips, his heavy heart immediately felt relieved.
He will never make that foolish mistake again. He no longer needs to hesitate about who his true family members are.
Everything went smoothly.
The restaurant offers good quality food at reasonable prices, and its prime location keeps the Meng couple very busy, yet they make a good living. Although it's a breakfast shop, people come in at lunchtime, and even children come for noodles after school.
However, this would make it impossible to cook for their school-aged children, so the couple is considering hiring an employee who can cook and is also efficient.
With his internship experience and one-on-one tutoring from Xu Zhengjin, Meng Zhiyuan, the eldest brother, landed two major cases in a row. He was so engrossed in his work that he seemed like a workaholic. Because of his strong professional skills and approachable yet flexible style, he quickly gained recognition from the rest of the law firm.
Meng Zhili, the second brother, diligently learned to identify various herbs. After laying a solid foundation, he began to study in greater depth. Chen Xiong was also slowly conditioning his body, and after several rounds, Meng Zhili was no longer as weak and pale as before.
After covering He Tong's debut song, Meng Zhilian, the third brother, quickly gained popularity. His mysterious aura and consistent output of works have kept him in the spotlight. According to his dance teacher, he is very hardworking in practice and is also a talented performer. He is competing with Jason for talent every day.
Yes, Meng Zhilian, who has an exceptional musical sense, is a treasure in Jason's heart. He can't wait to collaborate with Meng Zhilian to create a classic song that will be passed down through the ages.
If the Meng family hadn't fallen on hard times, Meng Zhiyuan would have graduated smoothly and started a law firm with like-minded friends; Meng Zhili would have enrolled in a university of traditional Chinese medicine after the college entrance examination and become a doctor; Meng Zhilian would have been able to study hard at school and learn how to create even better music...
Before the Meng family fell from grace, they lived a normal life. But once they fell from grace, their once smooth road turned into a rugged path.
It was precisely because the contrast was so stark that they realized so deeply that opportunities can slip away in the blink of an eye, and dreams that are within reach can turn into stars in the next second, visible but untouchable.
Now, thanks to Meng Wan, they have regained the opportunity to grasp the stars. They don't want to disappoint Meng Wan, nor do they want to experience the pain of missing out on their dreams again. They can only keep working hard and working even harder.
As for Meng Zhiyao... in the end, she followed Meng Wan and the others to the amusement park.
"Are you done with your work?"
"The project is finished, don't worry. Get some sleep and eat well." Yan Nian rubbed Meng Wan's temples, a faint smile on his lips.
"That's more like it." Meng Wan's face showed some resentment, but she still breathed a sigh of relief.
Because it was the weekend, the amusement park was crowded, so the two of them squeezed their two children in the middle, each holding one of their hands.
Although the two of them exercise regularly and have good physical strength, the child's energy is really abundant. After a round, he not only did not feel tired at all, but also got more and more excited.
After getting off the roller coaster, Meng Wan and the two children sat in the shade outside the ice cream shop. Meng Wan and the two children smiled at each other. Meng Wan glanced at the time and realized for the first time that time could move so slowly.
With a 'ding-a-ling', Yan Nian emerged from the ice cream shop, carrying a small wooden tray with four small cups of ice cream on it. The two little ones' eyes lit up; they had been staring at the ice cream in Yan Nian's hand ever since he came out.
With something to eat, the two finally quieted down for a while. Their legs swung back and forth, revealing their good mood. The weather was still a bit warm in September, and their fair cheeks were slightly flushed.
Meng Wan reached out, and Yan Nian took out a pack of wet wipes from his bag, pulled out a corner before handing it to Meng Wan. Meng Wan took one out, folded it, and placed it on her forehead, only then feeling slightly more comfortable.
Tang Li's gaze darted back and forth between the two of them, a hint of cunning in it.
Are you dating Tang Wan?
"Where did you learn those words?" Meng Wan asked with a smile, somewhat curious about how Tang Li always managed to come up with such strange phrases.
"Tianqi told me that he was dating a girl from the next class."
Meng Wan took out a wet wipe and placed it on his forehead. The sudden coolness made Tang Li close his eyes comfortably.
Meng Zhiyao stared intently at Meng Wan, who understood and placed another wet wipe on Meng Zhiyao's forehead. Meng Zhiyao closed her eyes, swung her legs, and smiled.
So, are you making friends?
Meng Wan thought Tang Li was just a child with a short memory and would turn away to play again, but unexpectedly Tang Li pulled off a wet wipe, wiped his face, and asked again.
Meng Wan didn't speak, but looked at Yan Nian, raised an eyebrow, and suppressed a laugh, seemingly intending to see how Yan Nian would explain.
Yan Nian couldn't resist and mischievously ruffled her hair, but then obediently helped to smooth it out.
"Not yet." But it certainly will be in the future.
Regarding the future, they couldn't imagine the possibility of anyone else appearing in their lives. If the person beside them wasn't each other, then everything would be meaningless.
Meng Wan smiled but said nothing.
Tang Li tilted his head and looked at Meng Zhiyao.
"Adults just like to play riddles and bully us kids, right?"
Meng Zhiyao blinked twice, looking innocent and adorable.
Tang Li sighed, "If you don't go to school, you won't even know if you get scammed later."
Meng Zhiyao paused in mid-air with the scoop of ice cream, while Tang Li continued eating.
"Look at you, you're timid, you never go out, you don't talk, and you can't read. There are so many fun and delicious things outside, but none of them concern you. Like this ice cream, if you hadn't come to the amusement park today, would you have been able to eat it?"
As he spoke, Tang Li deliberately scooped up a large spoonful of ice cream and ate it in front of Meng Zhiyao. Unfortunately, his attempt to show off backfired, and he ended up pressing his brows tightly because he was freezing.
Meng Wan found it amusing and naturally leaned against Yan Nian, watching their interaction.
Yan Nian turned her head, took out a wet wipe and wiped her forehead, then carefully smoothed her bangs.
My heart and eyes are filled with only one person.
