Chapter 10 He Doesn't Feel Sorry For Himself
Meng Yanchen stood at the door of the police station, looking at Fan Shengmei who was affectionately hugging Qiu Yingying's shoulders not far away, rubbing the girl's head from time to time, and the two of them were talking and laughing as they walked towards the subway station.
"Brother?" Xu Qin's voice came from behind.
Meng Yanchen retracted his gaze and asked, "Is it done?"
"Um."
Xu Qin pursed her lips and said, "I hope I never see her again. Every time I see her, it's always bad news."
Meng Yanchen's eyes flashed behind his glasses, and he said lightly,
"It would be more appropriate for her to say this."
Xu Qin was stunned. She didn't expect to hear such an answer.
Meng Yanchen pushed his glasses up. "We are the ones who always cause trouble for her, aren't we?"
Xu Qin subconsciously tightened the strap of her bag and lowered her eyes as usual.
Because every time this happened, Meng Yanchen would no longer blame her.
She felt that Meng Yanchen must be concerned about helping to deal with Song Yan's affairs, and her voice unconsciously became stubborn.
"We will return the money to you."
"knew,"
Meng Yanchen opened the car door and said, "Just pay with my card."
Xu Qin was completely stunned.
She imagined that Meng Yanchen would say, "Don't worry," or say something like, "We are a family, there's no need to be so formal," as he did in the past.
After all, he once said, "Everything in the Meng family is yours, including me."
Meng Yanchen, who said he would belong to her forever, now seemed as distant as a stranger.
"elder brother......"
She reached out and grabbed Meng Yanchen's sleeve, her voice softening unconsciously.
"Are you angry?"
Meng Yanchen looked at his sister's cautious look and finally softened his heart.
He gently brushed her hand away and ruffled her hair instead.
"I just don't want to see you get wronged. You and Song Yan are not suitable."
"here we go again!"
Xu Qin's face darkened immediately. "Is it true that in your eyes, besides..."
She looked at Meng Yanchen and swallowed the second half of the sentence, which was a tacit secret between them.
She paused and continued,
"Brother, no matter how much you and my parents dislike Song Yan, this is my own choice. He and I are already engaged."
"Qinqin,"
Song Yan strode over, put his arm around Xu Qin's shoulders as if to protest, and looked at Meng Yanchen provocatively.
"Don't worry, I will return your money in full! Not only the money, I will also take good care of you."
Meng Yanchen's gaze stayed on Song Yan's hand for a second, then turned to look at Xu Qin, opened the car door,
"Get in the car, I'll take you home."
Xu Qin avoided his gaze directly and said, "You go back first."
Meng Yanchen's hand gripping the car door was so tight that veins popped out, but he finally let go.
He took one last look at Xu Qin.
"Remember to go home for dinner on weekends."
After saying that, he slammed the car door.
The black Lincoln sped away, and Meng Yanchen loosened his tie in annoyance.
When he received Xu Qin's call, he was presiding over a video conference on a cross-border merger and acquisition case.
He remembered how he stood up and left the table amid the stunned gazes of the executives.
I remember being worried that she was scared at the police station and almost ran three red lights.
I also remember that when we arrived at the police station and dealt with everything, Xu Qin once again chose Song Yan.
This scene is too familiar.
Every time Xu Qin needed him, he would appear at the first moment;
And every time, she would eventually choose to walk towards Song Yan.
The red light at the intersection came on and Meng Yanchen slammed on the brakes.
He leaned back in his chair tiredly, and the image of Fan Shengmei saying that appeared in front of him again.
"Be nice to him."
These words were like a thorn, gently piercing the softest part of his heart.
Even a stranger who had only met him twice felt sorry for him.
But he doesn't feel sorry for himself at all.
The neon lights outside the car window blurred into a blur, and Meng Yanchen smiled self-deprecatingly...
