Chapter 82 Brothers Hurt Each Other
"What? Not getting married, not going abroad? What's going on?"
Xiao Yixiao suddenly put down his wine glass, looking shocked.
Meng Yanchen took a sip of wine and said lightly,
"Xu Qin told her mother that she would not marry Song Yan and would accept her family's arrangement."
“Wow!”
Xiao Yixiao's eyes widened. "Then your mother must be so happy. In your family, Aunt Fu seems strict, but actually all the rules apply to you. She's really gentle with Qinqin."
He counted on his fingers, "I remember several times, it was obviously Qinqin who caused the trouble, but in the end it was you who got scolded. Aunt Fu always asked Qinqin to go upstairs first, for fear of scaring her."
Meng Yanchen shook his wine glass and didn't respond.
“Now that Qinqin says she won’t leave and will listen to her family’s arrangements, Aunt Fu is happy. What are you going to do?”
Meng Yanchen frowned. "My mother has been ill for the past two days. I don't know who she met that day, and her blood pressure hasn't dropped. I can't stimulate her at this time. Let's wait for a while and find a chance to send her away."
Xiao Yixiao disagreed. "If you ask me, it's not all bad for Qinqin to stay. What if she really thinks it through? Isn't it what you all hope for, not to marry Song Yan?"
He became more and more excited as he spoke, "Let Aunt Fu find her a partner again, and the whole family will be happy. How wonderful it would be!"
Meng Yanchen glanced at him coldly, his disdain evident in his words.
"What are you looking at? Am I wrong?" Xiao Yixiao was dissatisfied.
"Except for this face, you inherited all the genes from Aunt Xiao,"
Meng Yanchen said slowly, "I really didn't inherit anything else."
"Depend on!"
Xiao Yixiao crumpled up the tissue and threw it at him, "You can't curse me in a roundabout way like that!"
He suddenly remembered something and changed the subject, "To be honest, my mother likes Xiaomei very much. She has been praising her since you left."
Meng Yanchen's lips curled up unconsciously, and his fingertips tapped the wall of the cup lightly.
"From now on, when you go home, play 'Listen to Mom' on repeat, and when you're looking for a partner, follow Aunt Xiao's standards."
He added, "Your mother has better vision than you."
"You just want to say that you have good vision. You found Fan Xiaomei, but not only did you involve my mother, you also dragged me down with you."
Xiao Yixiao rolled his eyes. "How can Fan Xiaomei tolerate your harsh words?"
"I'm sweet-talking in front of her." Meng Yanchen said confidently.
Xiao Yixiao stared at him for a few seconds without saying anything.
"What are you looking at?" Meng Yanchen raised his eyebrows.
"to be honest,"
Xiao Yixiao was rarely serious. "I'm very grateful to Fan Xiaomei. Luckily, you insisted and didn't listen to my nonsense."
Meng Yanchen shook his wine glass and chuckled, "Why, you want to say that you haven't seen me laugh like this in a long time?"
"Meng Yanchen! That's enough!"
Xiao Yixiao rolled his eyes at him. "The whole world knows you're in love, and we're all really happy for you. But can you please tone down that industrial saccharine-smelling, overbearing CEO aura? It's really getting too much lately."
He made a vomiting face.
"Hurry up and uninstall those crappy short drama and novel apps of yours."
Meng Yanchen smiled without saying anything, but the tenderness in his eyes could not be hidden.
"I mean,"
Xiao Yixiao lowered his voice, "After you fell in love, you really felt more human. Unlike before..."
Water droplets slid down the glass, leaving dark dots on the solid wood bar.
Meng Yanchen understood what he meant.
Fan Shengmei not only entered his life, but also his life that had been frozen for many years.
He became colorful.
"Um,"
Meng Yanchen continued to be unforgiving. "I do have a little more human touch, but what do you have more of? The smell of sweat?"
"you......"
Xiao Yixiao was so angry that he jumped up and down, "I must let Fan Xiaomei cure your bad mouth!"
Meng Yanchen raised his glass and chuckled, and the warmth in his eyes was also reflected on his cold glasses.
At this moment, Jiang Yu pushed the door open and walked in.
Xiao Yixiao immediately waved, "Xiao Yu! Over here!"
Jiang Yu walked over and Xiao Yixiao pushed a glass of wine over to him.
Jiang Yu waved his hand and said, "No more drinking. I have to go back to the team tonight."
He turned to Meng Yanchen and said, "Brother, I haven't had time to congratulate you yet. I had something to do in the team that day, so I went to the villa and sat for a while before leaving. I didn't see you and sister-in-law. Bring her out some other day, and I'll treat you to a meal."
Meng Yanchen's lips curled slightly.
"OK."
He asked casually, "How about you? Have you been active lately? You're not young anymore, stop being so busy with work all day, it's time to fall in love."
Jiang Yu scratched his head. "I'm so busy in the team, how can I have the time?"
He suddenly remembered something and his eyes lit up. "But a few days ago, when I went to Ode to Joy to rescue stray cats, I met a girl. She was quite interesting."
Meng Yanchen's grip on the cup tightened—
Ode to Joy? Stray Cats?
Isn’t this exactly what Fan Shengmei mentioned in the car?
"However, that girl seems to have a boyfriend," Jiang Yu added.
Do you have a boyfriend?
Aren’t they all right?
Meng Yanchen remained calm, "What does that girl look like?"
"Tall and thin, with long hair and glasses, she looks like a good girl."
Meng Yanchen finally breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, it wasn’t his Xiaomei.
Jiang Yu recalled and suddenly laughed out loud, "That day I accompanied a colleague to the bar for a security check. As soon as we finished and walked out, I saw her huddled in a corner, calling the police. She was clearly terrified, her hands shaking so much she couldn't even hold the phone steady. Her voice was as soft as a mosquito's, saying that three drunks were harassing a girl."
His fingers unconsciously drew circles on the rim of the cup.
"By the time I led my men over and chased them away, the girl hadn't even appeared from the corner. She was both timid and brave, like a little white rabbit that bites people. She was very cute."
Xiao Yixiao couldn't help but laugh and said, "I think you are completely taken advantage of by this type. They appear obedient on the surface, but they are actually biting. Before—"
Before he could finish his words, two sharp glares shot out at him at the same time.
Meng Yanchen and Jiang Yu put down their cups at the same time and glared at him.
Xiao Yixiao immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly tried to make amends.
"I mean...that girl must be beautiful!"
"You like ugly ones?" Jiang Yu retorted bluntly.
“Dededede!”
Xiao Yixiao raised his hands in surrender, "I'm really going to mess with you two today! Yes, yes, yes, I like ugly ones, okay?"
Meng Yanchen said slowly, "I know that girl."
Jiang Yu's eyes lit up, "Really? What's she like? Do you have a boyfriend?"
Meng Yanchen's glasses flashed, "Why, do you want me to help you?"
Jiang Yu smiled innocently, "Brother, is it possible?"
"Okay."
Meng Yanchen was calm and composed. "How about letting Guo Kun take charge of the resort project in the ecological park that your family's Lao Jiang recently invested in?"
Jiang Yu's simple smile froze instantly.
"Brother! How could you take advantage of someone's misfortune?"
Meng Yanchen said confidently, "Don't look at me like that. That's how Bao Yifan treated me back then."
"Bao Yifan?"
Jiang Yu was confused. "What does this have to do with Bao Yifan?"
Meng Yanchen adjusted his glasses and looked up at him.
"How about it, will you give it to me?"
Jiang Yu took a gulp of water and said stubbornly,
"I, Jiang Yu, a man of seven feet, how can I be threatened by you? No need!"
Meng Yanchen's slender fingers slowly turned the wine glass and chuckled.
"No, you're going to need it."
At this moment, Fan Shengmei's message popped up.
"Meng Yanchen, I'm so excited. I can go look at houses tomorrow. Do you want to come with me?"
Meng Yanchen smiled, and his slender fingers quickly replied.
"It's my honor."
