Chapter 189 When do you plan to get the marriage certificate?
Meng Yushu was silent, knowing that his brother was indeed wrong this time and had disappointed Meng Anran.
The air was silent for a long moment. He sighed deeply and said, "I respect your decision. No matter what happens, you will always be my most cherished sister."
After hanging up the phone, Meng Anran took a deep breath. The salty sea breeze penetrated into her lungs, and her heart felt slightly cool.
Qin Mu took off his thin coat and put it on her shoulders, then took her into his arms, "Can't bear to leave your brother?"
Meng Anran snuggled in his warm embrace and chuckled, "The Meng family has never been a whole in my eyes. Even if I move out, Meng Yushu is still my recognized brother."
"Let's not talk about this anymore." She tilted her head slightly and stared at the boy's jawline. "How was Lu Zhong's verdict?"
"Intentional wounding resulting in serious injury resulted in a six-year sentence."
Meng Anran nodded slightly, not showing much emotion. Suddenly, a question occurred to her: "Why does it seem like... there's no news about Bai Yujin?"
There was an internal fight in the Lu family that day. Lu Zhong hit Lu Qingcheng with a clock. The person who went to seal the villa called the police. Lu Zhong was sent to the police station and Lu Qingcheng was admitted to the hospital.
What about white turmeric?
He neither visited the police station nor the hospital to visit the patient, and even Lu Heng and Lu Yi never mentioned this person.
"Maybe he went back to the Bai family?" Qin Mu guessed, but his tone clearly showed that he didn't even believe this statement.
If we ask why Bai Yujin never felt sorry for the child she gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy, it was inseparable from the influence of the Bai family.
In her original family, children were also tools for making profits.
She had a talent for business and founded her own studio at the age of 20, but was asked to marry Lu Zhong at the age of 22.
Girls don't have the right to choose.
Once you put on your wedding dress and receive your red book, you are marrying off your career and life.
Therefore, Bai Yujin has no feelings for Lu Zhong, no feelings for her own children, and even less feelings for the Bai family that controls her life.
Besides, she was now in her fifties, her husband was in prison, her assets were liquidated, she had no money and no face. She was worthless to the Bai family, so how could they allow her to go back and become a burden?
Meng Anran pursed her lips and thought for a moment, then decided not to think about it anymore. "It doesn't matter. He's not an important person."
Just curious.
"Hey! Anran! Come over and have a barbecue!"
Liuzhi's call came with the wind. Meng Anran looked over and saw a barbecue grill in front of Liuzhi, and Mingjing was unfolding the folding tables and chairs.
Several bodyguards in black suits were walking over there carrying insulated boxes. They were responsible for delivering barbecue utensils and ingredients. There were also two who were setting up tents.
Qin Mu stood up, patted his butt, and pulled An Xiaoran up again, "Come on, I'll make you my specialty grilled lamb chops."
The slightly cold hand was wrapped in the warm palm. Meng Anran followed behind Qin Mu and couldn't help laughing when she heard the words: "You are good at it? In junior high school, you clearly grilled lamb chops into charcoal."
"You were inexperienced back then, so I practiced it just for you. This time, it'll definitely be grilled to an attractive color, making you hungry just by looking at it."
Meng Anran raised her eyebrows and teased him deliberately: "What if it gets burnt?"
Qin Mu turned around and looked at her with a smile in his eyes: "Then... I'll eat the burnt ones, and you eat the good ones."
Meng Anran couldn't help laughing: "That's what you said."
The two walked to the barbecue grill. Liu Zhi was already enthusiastically skewering the ingredients, while Ming Jing was responsible for making the fire.
Seeing them coming, Liu Zhi immediately handed over a handful of skewers: "Come on, come on, do it yourself and have enough food and clothing!"
Qin Mu took the skewers and skillfully brushed them with oil and sprinkled seasonings on them, his movements done in one go.
Meng Anran stood aside, looking at his serious profile, and a sense of warmth inexplicably arose in her heart.
"Oh, Master Qin, have you practiced this technique before?" Ming Jing teased.
Qin Mu didn't even raise his head, and said calmly: "Of course, I learned it specifically for someone."
Meng Anran felt a slight heat in the tips of her ears. She pretended not to hear and lowered her head to get her drink.
Liu Zhi came over and bumped her shoulder with a smile: "Hey, you two are so sweet and romantic, when are you planning to get the marriage certificate?"
Meng Anran unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip calmly: "What certificate? We haven't reached that stage yet."
"Come on!" Liu Zhi rolled her eyes. "You two have known each other for so many years and have been dating for so many years. Isn't it only a matter of time before you get married? Hurry and schedule it!"
Meng Anran didn't respond, but just raised the corners of her lips slightly.
The night breeze blew gently, the charcoal fire crackled, and the aroma of barbecue gradually spread.
Qin Mu handed the grilled lamb chops to Meng Anran. The golden and shiny surface was sprinkled with cumin and chili powder, and the aroma was fragrant.
"Try it?" He looked expectantly.
Meng Anran took it and took a bite. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, full of juice. It was indeed a lot better than the one she had in junior high school.
"How is it?" Qin Mu stared at her expression.
Meng Anran chewed slowly on purpose before nodding: "It's okay."
Qin Mu smiled immediately: "Just okay?"
"Well, it's barely edible." Meng Anran pretended to be indifferent, but she couldn't hide the smile in her eyes.
Qin Mu reached out and rubbed her hair: "You say one thing and mean another."
Liu Zhi exaggeratedly covered her eyes and said, "Ouch, my eyes! This dog food is too irritating!"
Ming Jing smiled and handed her a bunch of grilled mushrooms: "Eat yours!"
Liu Zhi took it with a smile, staring at Ming Jing with eyes that were almost thready, "Oh, I almost forgot I have a partner too!"
"Hmm?" Ming Jing raised an eyebrow, his eyes emitting a hint of danger. "Forgot you have a partner? I guess I need to remind you of this tonight, so you don't forget it again and run to the bar looking for a male model."
Liu Zhi's expression froze instantly, and she hugged Ming Jing's arm flatteringly. "I'm wrong, I'm wrong. This happened several years ago, how can you still remember it? Besides, I only mentioned it at the time, but I didn't go!"
"Do you really want to go?" Ming Jing raised the corners of his lips, his eyes fierce as if he wanted to eat someone.
"No! Absolutely not! Why would a simple, beautiful girl like me go to a bar?"
Qin Mu and Meng Anran couldn't help laughing as they watched the young couple bickering.
The childhood sweethearts who have called each other brothers for many years have finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel and are on the road to happiness.
After filling their stomachs with barbecue, they each took their drinks and went into the tent to play flying chess.
When the atmosphere was lively, Meng Rong called Meng Anran again.
"An Ran, your brother has a bad temper. I want to apologize to you on his behalf."
Meng Anran curled her lips, a gentle smile mingling in her voice: "It's okay, why haven't you rested yet so late?"
"Xiaohong went out to look for his dog and didn't come home for over two hours. He didn't even have his phone with him. I just found him."
Meng Anran's eyes darkened, and he asked casually, "Have you found Xiaoxue?"
"Not yet." Meng Rong sighed heavily and said, "An Ran, Xiao Hong has already checked the surveillance footage. Xiao Xue ran away on her own. It has nothing to do with you. But this child is getting more and more stubborn. I'll talk to him later and ask him to apologize to you."
