Chapter 196 It depends on whether I cut her or not
Lu Qingcheng was not at all reserved. She strode in with the dog in her arms.
After looking around, I found that although this villa was still a little inferior to the Lu family's, it was spacious enough. It was at least a million times better than the previous shabby rental house.
Besides, I have nowhere to stay now. Who would want to sleep under a bridge if I have a villa?
"Give Xiaoxue to me." Su Wanman reached out to hug the Samoyed in Lu Qingcheng's arms, but the other party dodged and held the dog tightly, refusing to let go.
Lu Qingcheng smiled innocently and stroked the obedient dog in her arms. "Let me hold it for a while. I quite like dogs. It seems that it likes me too."
This small gesture seemed like forcing it into the family, which made Su Wanman feel a little dissatisfied. Her tone became colder and harder, "Let's put it in the backyard. An Ran doesn't like dogs, so we don't want to get dog hair everywhere and make her uncomfortable."
Hearing Su Wanman mention Meng Anran, Lu Qingcheng gritted her teeth, acted very kindly, and gave the dog to Su Wanman.
Then he said vaguely, "I really envy An Ran. She's always the eldest daughter wherever she goes. She has such a big house, but just because she doesn't like dogs, everyone indulges her."
The implicit meaning is that Meng Anran is the eldest daughter and everyone else becomes Meng Anran's servants.
Su Wanman became unhappy on the spot, glared at Mengrong, signaling him to quickly deal with the trouble he brought back, and then went straight to the backyard with Xiaoxue in her arms.
Out of sight, out of mind!
Meng Rong touched his nose guiltily. He also felt uncomfortable hearing that, but his youngest son liked the dog very much, and it was Lu Qingcheng who found the dog. He couldn't just invite the person in and then kick him out.
He sat down on the sofa on the other side, keeping a sufficient distance from Lu Qingcheng, and asked calmly: "When you left the Lu family, did they give you nothing?"
When Lu Qingcheng mentioned this, she began to sob aggrievedly. "Both of my brothers don't like me. Some time ago, the Lu family went bankrupt, and Father Lu even attacked me with a clock. I just got out of the hospital, I'm penniless, and I have nowhere to stay. I don't know what to do."
Meng Rong fell silent. Lu Qingcheng's departure had chilled the hearts of their entire family. After all these years, they had finally managed to integrate An Ran into their family, so naturally, they wouldn't let Lu Qingcheng live with them again.
But... she is just a little girl, wandering around penniless. If she meets some bad people, her life might be ruined!
The pain of being abandoned has been diluted a lot after five or six years, and what remains is the father-daughter love of those seventeen years.
Looking at the pitiful girl crying in front of him, Meng Rong suddenly recalled the cute look of Lu Qingcheng when she was just born, waving her two little hands and babbling at him.
Complex emotions surged in his heart, and he sighed heavily, unable to make a decision.
Seeing that he seemed undecided, Lu Qingcheng took the initiative and gave him another strong dose of medicine: "Dad, I have missed you all these years. I always remember when you took me to the park to swing and took me to the amusement park to ride the carousel when I was a child. The Lu family is not good at all. They abused me and trapped me in a house abroad and did not allow me to go out. Dad, I know I made you sad back then, and I don't expect to come back. I am satisfied to apologize to you in person. I will leave now."
She stood up and prepared to leave. Just as she was about to leave, she heard Meng Rong sighing heavily and slightly irritably from behind her: "Alas, where can you go if you leave?"
Lu Qingcheng stopped, turned around, lowered her head, and tears kept falling. She grabbed the hem of her skirt, as if thinking for a long time, and finally said with a stiff upper lip: "There is always a way out in life. At worst..."
She didn't finish her words, but instead changed the subject and said, "I'll figure it out myself. Your family is harmonious now, so I shouldn't bother you anymore."
The unfinished sentence was enough to make Meng Rong imagine all sorts of things. He quickly called Lu Qingcheng. Even though she was wrong, he would not be so cruel as to watch her jump into the fire pit.
"Alright." He scratched his head dejectedly. "Sit down for a while. I'll call the others back for dinner so we can discuss this."
In the backyard, Su Wanman could hear all the movements inside through the glass door. She only felt a dull pain in her heart, as if the thorn that had pierced her heart six years ago was forcibly pulled out again.
A cut was torn and blood was dripping.
Soon, all family members received a message in the group calling them back for dinner, saying that there was something important to discuss.
[Meng Yushu]: I was shooting a commercial in G City. After finishing, I took the nearest high-speed train back home. It might take around 8 or 9 o'clock to get home.
[Meng Chenghong]: I'm fine, just tell Mr. Wu.
[Meng Zhen]: I'll ask my colleagues to change my shift and try to go back early.
[Meng Anran]: I have an overseas meeting tonight, and it's probably going to last until nine. What's so important that you have to discuss it at home tonight?
[Su Wanman]: I found Xiaoxue.
【Meng Chenghong】: Really?!
[Su Wanman]: Lu Qingcheng found it.
The whole group suddenly fell silent. From what they heard, it seemed that Lu Qingcheng had come to visit, and seemed to want to return to the Meng family.
When Meng Chenghong thought about how Lu Qingcheng had instigated discord between them during their last meeting, he became so angry that his eyes were filled with fire. He was about to send a voice message to complain, but suddenly he felt that cursing in the group was not enough.
He had to point at Lu Qingcheng's nose and scold her in front of her!
[Meng Chenghong]: I’ll be right back after school!
It depends on whether I cut her when I get back!
At seven o'clock in the evening, the aroma of food was already wafting from the restaurant of Meng's villa.
Su Wanman mechanically placed the dishes and chopsticks, and the silver cutlery made crisp clinking sounds in her hands.
From time to time, she looked up towards the living room. Lu Qingcheng was sitting on the sofa, teasing the Samoyed Xiaoxue who had just been brought back, with a sweet smile on her face.
"Mom, do you need my help?" Lu Qingcheng suddenly looked up and met Su Wanman's gaze.
Su Wanman's fingers trembled, and a chopstick fell to the ground with a harsh sound.
"No need." She bent down to pick it up, her voice colder than metal.
She really didn't know how to face this "daughter" whom she had loved for seventeen years and who had returned.
Meng Rong brought out the freshly fried beef with green peppers. Seeing this scene, he couldn't help but pursed his lips, and then uttered in a low voice: "Wan Man, don't force yourself."
"I know." Su Wanman turned and walked into the kitchen, her back as stiff as a stone.
A hint of gloom flashed across Lu Qingcheng's eyes, but she quickly replaced it with an innocent expression: "Dad, Mom, it's all my fault. I understand why you can't accept me. I'm leaving before my brothers and sisters come back."
