Chapter 87: Conversation in the Car 2
The car slowly drove out of the park. Meng Yanchen tightened his grip on the steering wheel slightly, his thin lips pressed into a straight line, and he said nothing.
Fan Shengmei secretly glanced at him, and the corners of her mouth could not help but rise.
"Angry?"
"Yeah." Meng Yanchen stared straight ahead.
"Are you really angry?"
"Um."
"Don't be angry, okay?"
"Um."
Fan Shengmei blinked and said, "Okay then."
There was a brief silence in the car.
Meng Yanchen tapped his fingers twice on the steering wheel and finally couldn't help but speak.
"Then what?"
"What then?" Fan Shengmei looked innocent.
"You..."
Meng Yanchen's Adam's apple rolled. "Can't you coax me a little more? Maybe I won't be angry anymore."
Fan Shengmei almost laughed out loud, but still agreed with him.
"No, you have reason to be angry. I shouldn't have added someone else's WeChat in front of you."
Meng Yanchen suppressed the corners of his mouth that were about to turn up.
"Well, what else?"
"besides..."
Fan Shengmei tilted her head and thought for a moment, "What else?"
Meng Yanchen took a deep breath and tightened his grip on the steering wheel.
"Who said they were coming to confirm the stigma? But when I got to the company, they called me down before I even went upstairs."
Fan Shengmei burst out laughing.
"Yeah, what I said was, 'They all say I slept with you to get this position, I can't bear the stigma for nothing, so I'm here to ask for your help.'"
She counted on her fingers, "Look, first, I did come to see you; second, I did get some favors—didn't you take me to see Jiang Yu? I'm fully prepared, and I believe I can wipe out those guys in Investment Department 2 tomorrow."
She blinked her eyes and said, "Who told you to listen halfway? Just listen to what you want to hear."
Meng Yanchen was choked and speechless, shaking his head helplessly.
"Okay, you're awesome. You're here to ask for some convenience."
"Mr. Meng looks very disappointed?" Fan Shengmei blinked her big eyes with an innocent look on her face.
Meng Yanchen clenched his fist and held it to his mouth, trying not to laugh.
"I want to say a famous line."
"What?"
Fan Shengmei frowned slightly, with a sense of foreboding.
"Meng Yanchen, put away your earthy, overbearing speech."
Meng Yanchen finally couldn't help laughing.
"Okay, okay, I can't stand it anymore. By the way, who is the target audience for these skits? Do you girls really like this?"
Fan Shengmei laughed so hard her stomach hurt. "If you see someone choking you or putting you in solitary confinement in real life, you should call the police, right?"
The two of them complained for a while in the car, and Fan Shengmei said seriously,
"Okay, I won't tease you anymore. I added Jiang Yu on WeChat for work, and secondly, because I really think he and Guan Guan are a good match."
Meng Yanchen raised his eyebrows, "How did you tell that?"
"Guan Guan's father is a senior leader in a government agency, and her mother is a bank executive. She is also a girl raised in wealth, with a good family background and strict upbringing, and is a relatively simple person. Although Jiang Yu is also from a wealthy family, he is upright, cheerful and simple."
Fan Shengmei's analysis was coherent. "The most important thing is that he truly loves Guan Guan. They're a perfect match in every way, whether it's their upbringing, family background, or educational philosophy. Sometimes I have to admit the wisdom of our ancestors: marrying someone of equal status can save a lot of unnecessary trouble."
Meng Yanchen was silent for a moment. "Putting aside the two of them, let's look at the matter objectively... While being well-matched is certainly an important consideration in traditional marriages, modern society prioritizes spiritual compatibility, matching values, and the potential for shared growth... Does that mean people from different family backgrounds can't be together?"
Fan Shengmei held her chin and watched him speak quietly, her eyes full of smiles.
"What's wrong?" Meng Yanchen felt uncomfortable when she looked at him.
"Mr. Meng,"
Fan Shengmei suppressed a smile and said, "I'm not being objective anymore, I'm just too excited."
Meng Yanchen stopped talking.
Fan Shengmei placed her hand on his arm and said, "Don't worry, I didn't take it with me."
Meng Yanchen sighed heavily and held her hand with one hand.
Of course she knew what he was concerned about. Every time she mentioned similar ideas, Meng Yanchen always felt that she was always looking for reasons to retreat.
“I’m not saying that this idea is wrong.”
Meng Yanchen paused, "People are so contradictory... I don't want you to have to work so hard and feel like you have to stand on tiptoe to reach my height. There's no need."
He put her hand to his lips,
"Our situations are different. Our being together won't affect each other's existing lives, and in fact, it's making them better. I think this is a compatible marriage relationship that can develop over the long term."
"I know,"
Fan Shengmei shook his hand back, "But I think when two people get along, it's not natural for one person to cater to the other. I'm trying to grow upwards, and although I can't reach your level, that's a matter of my ability, determined by my starting point. At least I can narrow the gap. But whether I do it or not is a matter of attitude."
She looked at Meng Yanchen's profile and said, "Just like you said, this is my attitude towards you, my attitude towards your parents, and even more so, my attitude towards this relationship."
Meng Yanchen's heart moved slightly, and he pinched her fingertips and smiled softly.
"My ideological awareness is getting higher and higher. There must be someone with great wisdom guiding me."
"Of course."
Fan Shengmei raised her chin proudly. "Aunt Fu is truly a role model for our generation and a benchmark for outstanding women. She's so insightful."
A smile flashed in Meng Yanchen's eyes. "Oh? I always hear you mention Aunt Fu, Aunt Fu. When can you introduce me to her?"
“It’s a must!”
Fan Shengmei excitedly started planning, "I've already made an agreement with her. We'll treat her to a meal when we're free. But you have to be mentally prepared, her standards are very high."
Meng Yanchen smiled meaningfully and said,
"I think she'll like me."
"Mr. Meng,"
Fan Shengmei couldn't help laughing. "Although you are close to perfect in my eyes, you should still be humble. It's not so easy to pass the test of Ms. Fu."
Meng Yanchen suppressed his laughter and nodded seriously.
"Okay, Ms. Fan, we'll wait and see. By the way, why are you still living in 2202? When do you plan to move? I'll make the arrangements."
Fan Shengmei thought for a moment and said, "I'm not planning to move for now. I'll just live in both places."
"Why don't you move?"
"I'm used to living in 2202 with Little Earthworm and the others. Besides, Andy and I have some things to do recently, so living in 2202 is more convenient."
Meng Yanchen was curious, "What's the matter?"
Fan Shengmei blinked, "Secret."
Meng Yanchen looked at her dotingly, "Okay, you're even keeping a little secret from me."
"You have a little secret from me." Fan Shengmei looked at him.
"What's my little secret?" Meng Yanchen adjusted his glasses and looked at her frankly.
"I didn't know you liked butterflies and cereal."
Fan Shengmei turned her head to look at him, her eyes sparkling. "You actually bought a cereal factory because you liked that cereal? What made you so greedy?"
Meng Yanchen's expression froze instantly, his hands gripping the steering wheel tightened, and he mumbled,
"Oh, I don't like it anymore."
Fan Shengmei was stunned. "Meng Yanchen, are you okay?"
He adjusted his glasses and said calmly, "It's okay."
