Chapter 171 In Your World, You Are the Most Important
Yandu Hotel.
"An Ran said Qin Mu was not feeling well, so she went to see Qin Mu off. She has arranged for a driver to take us back, in the same car we drove here." Meng Yushu conveyed the message to her family after hanging up the call with her sister.
Meng Rong nodded in understanding and asked, "Is Qin Mu okay?"
"It's okay, I just have a little fever." This is what Meng Anran said, and Meng Yushu also answered like this.
After all, he is the chairman and president of a listed group. He is usually very busy with affairs. He may be tired and have caught a cold.
"Then let's go first." Meng Zhen stood up and took her bag. Her high heels were not very comfortable, and she wished she could go home immediately to remove her makeup and take a shower.
Everyone got up and left the hotel. The business car had been waiting at the hotel entrance for a long time.
As people were getting on the bus one after another, shouts came from behind.
"Zhenzhen!"
Everyone stopped and turned their heads, their eyes widening.
Xiao Han?
Xiao Han, the internationally renowned talented designer!
Not only did he know Meng Zhen, but he also called her so intimately?!
The family members' ardent gazes fell on her, and Meng Zhen suddenly felt uncomfortable. She explained awkwardly and palely, "Um... An Ran introduced me to Teacher Xiao before."
Xiao Han, who was trotting over with his long legs, suddenly felt heartbroken when he heard the three words "Teacher Xiao".
But he still politely greeted Meng Rong and Su Wanman: "Uncle and Aunt, there were too many people at the banquet just now, so I didn't have a chance to say hello to you. I'm Xiao Han, An Ran's childhood friend, you can just call me Xiao Xiao."
Meng Rong looked at Meng Zhen, then at Xiao Han, and suddenly recalled that day when Meng Zhen sneaked to the balcony to answer the phone after receiving it, and Meng Anran said meaningfully, "Maybe it's your boyfriend."
Huh? I suddenly seem to understand something!
He stared at Xiao Han in front of him with golden eyes, looking him up and down, and then started checking his household registration mode: "Xiao Xiao, your studio is in Hai City, right? Have you settled in Hai City? How many people are there in your family? Are you an only child? What do your parents do for a living?"
Xiao Han was stunned by the question and cast a look at Meng Zhen for help.
What on earth is going on?!
Meng Zhen frowned and tugged at Meng Rong's sleeve, whispering, "Dad, what are you doing? Teacher Xiao is An Ran's friend. How could you be so eager to find out everything about her three generations of ancestors the first time you meet her?"
If Xiao Han feels uncomfortable after hearing this, wouldn’t that cause trouble for An Ran?
Mengrong pulled his daughter's hand away and glared at her with disappointment.
It is not a good thing to filter idols too much. Xiao Han is very talented in interior design, but if we look beyond the profession of designer, his character and morals may not stand the test!
Xiao Han touched his nose awkwardly. It seemed that Meng Zhen had not mentioned the fake couple thing to the Meng family, and Meng Rong would mistakenly think that he and Meng Zhen were really dating.
He sighed secretly and explained, "Uncle, you misunderstood. An Ran felt that Miss Meng was very talented in interior design, and knew that Miss Meng liked my designs. She introduced us to each other in the hope that I could persuade her to follow the path she liked.
"We've known each other since Anran was seven years old. She knows me best. If you don't believe what I say, you can ask her."
The words were said so clearly, meaning that there was no romantic relationship between him and Meng Zhen.
Embarrassment can be transferred, and now it was transferred to Meng Rong's face. He pulled up the corners of his lips and smiled, "So that's how it is. It seems that you and An Ran have a good relationship."
It was a very abrupt turn, and Meng Zhen dug her toes into the ground. She quickly interrupted, "Okay, you guys get in the car first."
"Okay, okay." Meng Rong really didn't know how to continue the conversation. He got into the car in a hurry, as if he was about to flee.
Meng Zhen and Xiao Han were left facing each other, staring at each other.
"Cough." Xiao Han lowered his eyes unnaturally and coughed lightly. After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "You seem listless these past few days. I sent you a WeChat message but you didn't reply. Are you in a better mood today?"
Meng Zhen hummed sullenly, obviously not feeling any better.
Xiao Han was impatient and had no experience in coaxing girls. Every time he asked Meng Zhen, she looked half-dead and said it was okay, which made him feel uncomfortable.
"You're clearly upset, but you insist on saying it's nothing. How can I know why you're unhappy if you don't tell me? If I did something wrong, just tell me directly! Aren't you uncomfortable keeping it bottled up in your heart?"
His tone was not harsh, but it stabbed into Meng Zhen's heart like a knife.
She was well aware that she had a bad personality, and she wanted to express all her emotions openly, but every time she persuaded herself to do so, she couldn't stop her random thoughts just as the words were about to come out of her mouth.
She is afraid of bringing negative emotions to others, afraid of being disliked for being sentimental, and she is obsessed with a trivial matter. This emotion may make people think she is troublesome.
Simply put, she is very insecure.
After being scolded by Xiao Han, Meng Zhen could no longer hold back the bitterness in her heart, and her eyes suddenly turned red.
This made Xiao Han helpless. He wanted to wipe her tears helplessly, but he felt that such behavior was too far beyond the line, so he retracted his outstretched hand.
He took a deep breath and slowed down his tone: "I don't mean to say anything bad about you, I just want you to talk about all the unhappy things, and you will feel better."
Meng Zhen bit her lower lip, hesitated for a moment, and finally whispered, "It's nothing serious, it's just..."
He finished speaking and there was no follow-up, so Xiao Han frowned slightly.
He wasn't particularly good at comforting people, and he knew Meng Zhen was an introverted person. Pushing her too hard would only put her under more psychological pressure.
"If it's inconvenient for you to tell me, you can go talk to An Ran. It's easier to talk to you sisters."
Xiao Han paused, thought for a moment, and continued, "An Ran appears calm and indifferent on the surface, but you are sisters, and her rationality may be able to help you solve the problem."
Hearing Xiao Han mention Meng Anran, Meng Zhen felt a little relieved.
She forced a smile and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes: "Well, I understand. Thank you, Teacher Xiao."
When Xiao Han heard the name "Teacher Xiao", he felt helpless, but he did not correct her.
He looked at the time and said, "It's getting late. You should get in the car first and don't keep your family waiting anxiously."
Meng Zhen nodded and turned to walk towards the business car.
After walking a few steps, she suddenly stopped and looked back at Xiao Han, "I'm sorry for making you worry. I will adjust myself as soon as possible."
Xiao Han smiled slightly and waved his hand: "Remember, in your world, you are the most important."
Meng Zhen's eyes trembled. The huge stone that had been pressing on her heart for many years seemed to have cracked, waiting for someone to come and smash it.
