Chapter 105 The frog has lost its color and the water is not boiling yet
"You wait!" Meng Anran patted Mingjing's shoulder and walked towards the classroom.
Just when Ming Jing was confused, a call came in on his phone. It was Meng Anran calling.
He saw Meng Anran pulling a stool and sitting next to Liu Zhi in the classroom. He hesitated for a moment and put the phone to his ear.
The sound of two people talking could be heard.
"What happened? What did he say?" Liu Zhi asked anxiously.
Meng Anran pursed her lips and shook her head, then continued, "It's similar to what he told you before. I feel like he really thinks you like my brother. But then again, my brother has a good impression of you. Since Ming Jing has taken the initiative to cancel the engagement, and you don't like him, just cancel the engagement. I'll arrange for you to go on a date with my brother!"
"What are you talking about!" Liu Zhi was shocked. "I told you last time that I'm just a fangirl. I have absolutely no improper thoughts about Brother Yu Shu!"
"You don't like my brother... Then find someone you like after you break off the engagement."
"Tsk, why are you also talking about breaking off the engagement? If this engagement is broken off, what will happen to Ming Jing? Are we going to watch him being kicked out of the Ming family?"
"What are you afraid of? Even if the Ming family doesn't want him anymore, he still has friends like us. You have money, I have money, and Qin Mu has money. How can you let him live a hard life?" Meng Anran said it lightly, but it made sense.
Liu Zhi thought about it and shook her head. "No, this is different. It's his legitimate right to inherit the Ming family's property. Even if our friends give us a lot of money to help him, he will definitely feel bad and his self-esteem will be hurt."
Meng Anran held her chin in her hand and stared at Liu Zhi with interest. "Are you so worried about him? Putting everything else aside, if the Ming family hadn't sworn that oath, would you have broken off the engagement with him?"
"That assumption doesn't hold."
"Tell me about it."
Liu Zhi pursed her lips, thought seriously for a moment, and said, "I definitely won't bring it up. Anyway, I've been mentally prepared for an arranged marriage since I was a child. I've known him for so many years, and we know each other well. We're good friends, so he's the best candidate for an engagement. But if he wants to cancel the engagement and takes the initiative to bring it up, I don't have to worry about it."
"So, you actually think marrying him is a good idea now?"
"Well... let's put it this way, if I had to marry someone without any feelings, he would be the one I would be most willing to accept."
Even if there is no love, at least there is friendship, which is better than not knowing each other at all, right?
Meng Anran nodded slowly, "I understand."
Liu Zhi was anxious. "What's the point of you understanding? Go and persuade Ming Jing. I can't speak, so you go and talk to him!"
Meng Anran curled her lips, "Okay, okay, I'll go talk to him!"
She stood up and walked towards the corridor again. Ming Jing also ended the call at this time.
Meng Anran chuckled, "Did you hear that? You're not attracted to my brother's type at all, you're simply obsessed with looks."
Ming Jing actually understood from Liu Zhi's words that even though she always complained about the engagement, she actually accepted him as her fiancé in her heart.
But there was still one question he couldn't figure out: "Since she didn't want to cancel the engagement, why didn't she just tell me?"
Meng Anran laughed when she heard this. "How do you want her to tell her brothers that I think marrying you is a good idea and that you're the person I want to marry the most?"
What a commotion!
Ming Jing was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "It seems I still have a chance."
"I suggest you pursue her directly. You've been boiling a frog in warm water for five years, and the frog's color has faded, but the water hasn't even boiled yet." Meng Anran said leisurely, then turned and walked into the classroom.
This engagement will end sooner or later without her.
…
At noon, Mingjing asked Liuzhi to have lunch together. They chatted for a long time in the cafeteria and were back to normal when they came back to class in the afternoon.
It seems that Mingjing still hasn't made his feelings clear, but he is more active in showing his affection to Liuzhi than before.
Liu Ke also came to find Meng Anran. She felt that Meng Anran was really a god. She received a call from her father at noon, asking her to be responsible for the management of Ai Si in the future.
"How did you do it?" She was very curious about what method Meng Anran used to convince her father to agree to let her, a girl, manage the business.
"You don't need to know this." Meng Anran sipped her milk, her posture as casual as usual. "Next week, tell your dad that you have no shares and no real power. If the company employees don't listen to your orders, there's nothing you can do."
"Okay." Liu Ke thought for a moment, holding on to some hope. "After I completely take over Ai Si, maybe I can refuse the marriage proposal?"
"Oh, you think too much. Compared to Ai Si, it is more valuable for you to marry Wang Cun."
Liu Ke lowered her eyes in disappointment. Meng Anran glanced at her and continued, "Don't even think that Ai Si can belong to you completely. Your brother is the legal representative of Ai Si. All you need to do is get Ai Si's shares, leave the Liu family, and be able to live independently. If the Liu family finds a better marriage partner than Wang Cun one day, you will have the chance to choose to return."
"I see. Thank you anyway."
These things have come to an end for now.
Sunday is Meng Yushu’s 20th birthday, and Meng Anran plans to prepare a birthday party for him a day in advance, the kind that is planned secretly.
This is also why she added Qiao Yichen on WeChat. It was her brother’s 20th birthday, so of course she had to invite his best friends to celebrate together.
She created a WeChat group, and Qiao Yichen changed the group name to [Logistics Planning Department for the Dream Movie Emperor’s Birthday Party].
The crew includes the protagonist's family, his good friend Qiao Yichen, his fan Liu Zhi and her fiancé Ming Jing, and Song Fangteng who was asked to do the photography because he has a SLR camera.
By Friday night, the discussion in the group became increasingly lively.
[Liuzhi]: Miss, have you booked the venue?
[Meng Anran]: The presidential suite on the top floor of the Yandu Hotel has excellent soundproofing. Everyone else, please report back.
Ming Jing: The decorations are ready. We can set up tomorrow morning.
[Meng Zhen]: I ordered three pounds of cheesecake, over~
[Song Fangteng]: Camera charging and debugging completed, over~
[Su Wanman]: [Picture] Plenty of drinks prepared, over~
[Qiao Yichen]: The salute is loaded, over~
[Meng Anran]: Zhizhi, remember to bring some wine.
[Liuzhi]: It’s Brother Yushu’s 20th birthday, so he had to open my bottle of 1982 Lafite to cheer him up!
[Meng Anran]: Great. Mingjing will pick up Brother Yichen tomorrow. Dad will drive Mom and Xiaohong over. I'll leave the scene arrangements to you. Zhizhi, please contact my sister and pick her up to go get the cake together. Song Fangteng, you photographer, just remember to bring your camera. I'll pick up the birthday boy. Any questions?
Willow Branch: No! I promise to complete the mission!
[Meng Chenghong]: Guarantee to complete the task!
Meng Yushu suspected that he was being excluded. After dinner, the whole family was chatting on their phones, but he didn't have a single new message on WeChat.
Is there a new group at home that doesn't include him, and is secretly talking about him?
