Chapter 108 Open Your Heart-2
When Ms. Fu was mentioned, Fan Shengmei froze in Meng Yanchen's arms.
Meng Yanchen subconsciously tightened his arms, frowned slightly, and was about to speak to comfort her when Fan Shengmei suddenly raised her face and asked him seriously,
"Meng Yanchen, will Auntie see me alone again?"
Meng Yanchen was startled. "Given my mother's personality, she probably will. Tell me when the time comes, and I—"
"Will there be any plot like a skit?"
Fan Shengmei suddenly interrupted him with her eyes sparkling, "She threw the check in my face and said, 'Here's 10 million, leave my son alone.'"
Meng Yanchen was stunned for a moment, then smiled helplessly and dotingly.
"Fan Shengmei, can you be serious?"
Seeing his expression soften, Fan Shengmei giggled in his arms.
"Is it funny? Relax, your face has been stinking all day."
Meng Yanchen chuckled and shook his head, "At a time like this, I guess you're the only one who can laugh."
"What can't I laugh at?"
Fan Shengmei blinked. "I have a boyfriend who's super rich and loves me. The person I admire most is Ms. Fu Wenying, who is also his mother. No matter how you look at it, I'm the winner."
Meng Yanchen knew she was comforting herself, so he pinched her fingertips.
"I'm telling you seriously, my mother is..."
He carefully considered his words, "She has a strong personality. Back then, my father and I were married through an alliance. Our two families were well-matched, and together they built Guokun. So, regarding the issue of my marriage..."
He paused, then said tactfully, "She'd be more inclined to choose... someone who can reduce or avoid future risks for the group. It's not that you're bad; she likes you very much and approves of you. It just takes time to digest and make the transition."
Fan Shengmei listened quietly, feeling the warmth from his fingertips.
"But you must believe that I won't change our relationship because of her attitude. And please... don't give up so easily."
He lowered his head, his glasses covering the complex emotions in his eyes.
"Now, I have nothing to hide from you. I really want to be with you. I will do my best to coordinate and fight for you and protect you, but I will not force you."
He looked up at her, looking straight into her eyes, his eyes sincere.
"Ms. Fan, you have always held absolute control over this relationship."
Fan Shengmei blinked and suddenly asked,
"Meng Yanchen, do you prefer a son or a daughter?"
The topic jumped too quickly, and Meng Yanchen couldn't catch up for a moment. He spoke tentatively with his Adam's apple rolling.
"Xiaomei, of course if we take this step——"
Fan Shengmei looked at his expression, was slightly stunned, and continued to ask him with a suppressed smile,
"Do you prefer a son or a daughter?"
Meng Yanchen hugged her and smiled, "It doesn't matter if it's a son or a daughter. As long as it's our child, I like them both."
"Choose one." Fan Shengmei insisted.
Meng Yanchen thought for a moment and said, "A daughter, a daughter is considerate and must be as beautiful as you."
"Will you pamper her?"
Fan Shengmei continued to ask, "You wish you could give her the best in the world? Cultivate her with all your heart and plan the best life for her?"
Meng Yanchen nodded. "Yes, but compared to all this, I hope she has a happy childhood."
Fan Shengmei nodded. "Your daughter must be very happy. She can wear beautiful dresses since she was young. You take her to the amusement park in your free time, show her the world, and teach her how to treat people... She must have an outstanding temperament since she was young."
She described it vividly, looking at the yearning that unconsciously appeared on Meng Yanchen's face.
Fan Shengmei suddenly changed the subject, "But, think about it——"
Her eyes narrowed cunningly, "If one day, your daughter is suddenly kidnapped by Huangmao..."
Meng Yanchen's expression froze instantly.
Fan Shengmei looked at his reaction and couldn't help laughing.
"Look, you can't accept it just by imagining it, right? And Ms. Fu..."
Her voice softened. "I'm going through this right now, twice. In her eyes, I'm the yellow-haired one."
She reached out and gently touched the wound on Meng Yanchen's forehead.
"She treated this injury lightly."
Meng Yanchen held her hand silently.
"So, I can understand her feelings."
Fan Shengmei said seriously, "And even though he was so angry today, he gave me enough respect. He didn't lose his temper on the spot, and even asked Zhou Xun to take me back."
Her voice softened. "I'm really grateful to her. She's a very cultured and sensible mother who taught you well."
She held Meng Yanchen's hand and said, "I will try my best to make her accept me and respect me."
"Thanks,"
Meng Yanchen's voice was slightly hoarse, and then he added nervously,
"But some 'suggestions', such as those asking us to separate, shouldn't be respected too much."
Fan Shengmei winked slyly, "That's not necessarily true. It's hard for me to choose between a boyfriend and a life mentor."
"Fan Shengmei,"
Meng Yanchen suddenly became serious and pinched her chin. "You're not really going to take the money and leave, are you? I'm telling you, if you really take the money and leave, you'll be at a huge loss."
【2202】
Four pairs of eyes stared at Fan Shengmei.
The potato chips in Qu Xiaoxiao's hand fell to the ground with a "click".
"Oh my god! This Meng guy is playing tricks on me!"
Qiu Yingying opened her mouth wide enough to fit an egg in it, "Sister Fan... this is even more ridiculous than any melodrama I've ever seen!"
Fan Shengmei smiled helplessly, "Little Earthworm, life isn't full of drama. But your teammates will definitely give you drama."
Qiu Yingying said seriously, "Sister Fan, I don't think any of this matters. What matters is that President Meng treats you very well. If someone treats me so wholeheartedly, I don't care if they're not worthy or not. I will definitely hold on to him and treat him twice as well."
She glanced at Qu Xiaoxiao meaningfully, "I won't pretend to see it!"
Qu Xiaoxiao pouted, "Why are you looking at me? If you like Yao Bin, go chase him yourself."
"I don't have it, I don't have it!"
Qiu Yingying's defense was instantly broken, and her face flushed red, "Qu Xiaoxiao, you are talking nonsense again!"
Qu Xiaoxiao shook her head, "You've almost fed me like a pig. Do you really think I'm stupid?"
She walked around to Qiu Yingying and preached, "Little earthworm, this world doesn't mean that just because you like me, I have to like you. I don't like Yao Bin, so I just treat him as a brother."
She winked slyly, "But as your master, I think you're pretty good. At least you know how to be grateful. I treat you well and I'm sincere and open-hearted, unlike me who is so heartless. If you really want to, I can give you some advice."
"I didn't! Qu Xiaoxiao, you're talking nonsense!" Qiu Yingying stamped her feet anxiously.
Andy interrupted at the right time, "Okay, everyone, let's talk about Miss Fan."
She looked at Qu Xiaoxiao and said, "Xiao Qu, please be quiet."
She turned to Fan Shengmei and spoke calmly, "I think Meng Yanchen's plan is quite clever. It's like a 'double-blind experiment' in economics, establishing the most authentic emotional connection without either party knowing. If you had revealed your identity from the start, Ms. Fu might have viewed you through the lens of a 'future mother-in-law,' and you would have unconsciously entered the 'meeting the parents' phase. Now he's bought you enough time to grow. Ms. Fu's affection for you is genuine, and that's your advantage."
Qu Xiaoxiao curled her lips, "What's the point of having a good impression? Now after one strike, there's not even a drop of health left."
Guan Juer adjusted her glasses and said, "Sister Fan, what are you going to do next? I also think that the most important thing is that two people are happy together, just like..."
"Stop,"
Qu Xiaoxiao rolled her eyes at her. "Her situation is different from yours. Mr. Meng is leading her upwards. If you continue to be stubborn and follow Xie Tong, you will only end up in the swamp."
Guan Juer's face turned pale instantly, and her fingers unconsciously twisted the corner of her clothes.
Fan Shengmei quickly brought the topic back to the topic.
"Okay, I'll try harder. At least, I won't regret the result."
"that is!"
Qu Xiaoxiao crossed her arms, raised her eyebrows and said, "What kind of person is our Sister Fan now? What kind of man can't she find? She's the best at picking the best. There are so many of all levels, she's picking them one by one!"
Andy made an objective analysis. "Fan Xiaomei, objectively speaking, no matter how much wealth you accumulate now, you will never be able to achieve the class leap that matches the Meng family."
"I know."
Fan Shengmei nodded. "What I'm doing now isn't just because of him, and I don't think Aunt Fu only cares about this."
"right."
Andy agreed, "Being in that position, she has a unique perspective and vision. If you step outside the role of Meng Yanchen's mother, she will easily accept you."
She pondered, "So we can't just go one way, we have to find another."
Qu Xiaoxiao immediately went over and hugged Andy and acted coquettishly.
"Andy~ I love listening to you talk the most!"
She blinked her eyes and said, "Come on, tell us what kind of crooked ways you are using~"
Andy chuckled and frowned at her.
Qu Xiaoxiao immediately changed her words, "It's not a crooked way, it's a secret to pass the level!"
Andy thought about it and said, "I don't know. I haven't thought about it yet."
She looked at Fan Shengmei and said, "Let's wait for the right time. Investing in the market also requires timing."
Fan Shengmei smiled gratefully, "Actually, I know that if I give him time, he can handle it. But..."
Her voice softened. "I don't want him to handle it, nor do I want his mother to be forced to compromise and accept it. I like his mother very much and want to get along well with her. What I hope for is acceptance and respect from the heart."
Andy walked over and hugged her gently. "Don't be too anxious for now. Just focus on what's in front of you."
She encouraged him, "Don't be so pessimistic. Put everything Ms. Fu taught you into practice and rationally utilize and integrate the resources around you."
She looked around at the sisters in 2202 and said, "Look at us, and our friends around us. We are your resources and supporters. We will definitely stay with you until the end, no matter what the outcome."
Qiu Yingying and Guan Juer both nodded seriously.
Qu Xiaoxiao blinked, looking proud and arrogant. "Although I'm not surrounded by big shots like Andy, the group of playboys around me are not short of money! They are a bit rustic, but it's like, the countryside surrounds the city, do you understand?"
Fan Shengmei's eyes were slightly red and her voice was a little choked.
"Thanks."
2202 once again became her safe haven...
