Chapter 199 I Didn’t Ask You to Kiss Each Other in Public
Not only about her own illness, but also during this dinner, Meng Anran told her family all about her experiences in the Lu family.
The reason why she had no attachment to the Lu family was because the Lu family had never had the concept of "family affection", only interests and pawns.
The reason why she hated Lu Heng and Lu Yi was because Lu Heng and Lu Yi only treated her as a toy, obsessed with her but never treated her well.
The reason why she was so devoted to Qin Mu was because during those years Qin Mu was the only one who truly understood her, sympathized with her, and took care of her.
If Qin Mu hadn't been there with her, perhaps she would have fallen into the abyss after that incident and become a crazy, extreme eccentric like Lu Heng and Lu Yi.
The atmosphere in the dining room was silent and filled with sadness. No one felt sorry for Meng Anran after hearing what had happened. They even felt that it was a blessing in disguise that Meng Anran had grown up to be seventeen years old and returned to this family.
"Okay, it's all over. I'm not sad at all. You guys are making me unable to eat." Meng Anran joked with a smile, livening up the atmosphere a little.
She really didn't care much about the past. She had never hated the Lu family from the beginning to the end. Her unusual growth experience also made her extraordinary.
Look at Beijing, is there anyone who can own his own business empire in his twenties without "inheriting the family business"?
She's the only one!
Su Wanman sniffed, her eyes still red and moist, but she forced a gentle smile, "Let's not talk about it anymore. The past is not important anymore. Let's eat, Anran, have more pickled fish, you love it the most."
She scooped a spoonful of fish fillet and poured it into Meng Anran's bowl. "You seem tired and thin recently. Now that you're full, go upstairs and take a shower and rest."
"Okay, thank you, Mom." Meng Anran smiled.
The others also put aside their sorrows, smiled, and started chatting happily.
After dinner, Su Wanman asked the children to go upstairs early to take a bath and go to bed, so that those who should go to school or work can go to school early the next morning.
After everyone left, Su Wanman took the dishes back to the kitchen and put them in the dishwasher. There was no one around, and she couldn't help but wipe away her tears secretly.
If only my daughter hadn't been swapped away - this thought has never been so strong.
She had seen the news. It was the woman named Duan Xi who deliberately replaced the Lu family's child in order to avenge her brother and sister-in-law and to retaliate against the Lu family.
The Meng family was implicated innocently, and she also knew that Duan Xi had her own difficulties, but she still could not forgive him, because this was the child she gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy, and a piece of flesh cut from her body.
But he was transferred to another family and suffered a lot!
After staying in the kitchen for a long time, Su Wanman wiped her tears and decided to go meet Duan Xi.

Second floor
Meng Anran came out of the shower and dried her hair. The balcony door was opened from the outside, and Meng Zhen came in sideways wearing a set of goose yellow silk pajamas.
"Anran, are you going to sleep?" Meng Zhen's eyes were bright and she looked very energetic, but her slightly trembling hands showed that she was a little nervous.
Meng Anran chuckled, guessing it was probably related to Xiao Han, "Sleep with me tonight."
She hasn't slept with her sister for a long time, and the two sisters can talk all night tonight.
Meng Zhen obviously thought so, but after hesitating for a moment, she asked, "Don't you have to go to work tomorrow?"
My sleep quality is already poor. If I stay up all night and then have a busy day tomorrow, my body will definitely not be able to take it.
"It's okay, I haven't been that busy recently." Meng Anran said.
Tianyi Games' new game development has entered the testing phase, so it can be handed over to the person in charge. Although Tianzhen Film and Television Special Effects Production Company was newly established, it also has a dedicated person in charge to handle affairs.
With so many departments working together in the headquarters, there wouldn't be any problems even if she took a few days off.
Such a large group with thousands of employees is not invited back to eat idle meals.
Hearing this, Meng Zhen felt relieved, a joyful smile appeared on the corner of her lips, and she lifted the quilt and lay down on the bed.
After Meng Anran combed her hair, she got into bed and turned off the lights.
The two sisters lay together in the darkness. Meng Anran remained silent and insisted on not speaking.
Meng Zhen tossed and turned, feeling a little anxious. Finally, she couldn't help but poke her sister's shoulder, "An Ran, I have something..."
Meng Anran couldn't help but curl her lips in laughter, and said teasingly in a long tone: "Oh - let me guess, did Designer Xiao contact you?"
Meng Zhen shyly pushed her sister away and lowered her voice, "I'm taking a day off this weekend, and he... asked me to go back with him to meet his parents."
"Isn't this something we agreed on a long time ago? Are you not mentally prepared yet?" Meng Anran turned over and faced her sister, unable to see her expression in the dark.
Meng Zhen took a deep breath, then sighed heavily. She grabbed the corner of her clothes under the quilt with her hands, rubbing her fingers back and forth. Her voice was trembling: "Don't mention it. I'm so panicked now. It's just... a little excited and very nervous."
"Why are you so nervous?" Meng Anran raised her eyebrows slightly. "Aren't you just going to act out a scene with him? At most, you'll just hook your arms and hug his shoulders. I'm not asking you to kiss in public."
"Hey, stop teasing me." Meng Zhen felt extremely embarrassed just by hearing that. How could she and Xiao Han develop a relationship to that point?!
Meng Anran chuckled a few times, stopped teasing her sister, and said seriously, "Don't be nervous. Their family has a good background and doesn't have so many messed-up rules. You have a good personality and are not bad looking, so you won't be criticized."
"But I'm still so nervous!" Meng Zhen became more and more panicked as she spoke. It was clearly only two days away from the weekend, but she had already started to scare herself.
Meng Anran raised the corners of her lips and gently poked her sister's belly. "Sister, you're not nervous about meeting Xiao Han's parents, right? You're nervous simply because you like Xiao Han and want to meet his parents as his girlfriend. You're both looking forward to it becoming real and afraid that your hopes will be dashed in the end, right?"
"No, I'm not." Meng Zhen retorted quickly. This time her sister didn't guess correctly, probably because the room was too dark and she couldn't see her eyes.
"How should I put it... I'm afraid I won't behave well in front of his parents, but I'm also afraid I won't behave too well in front of his parents."
If she didn't perform well, the Xiao couple would be dissatisfied with her and would definitely nag Xiao Han to find a new partner. The issue of urging him to get married would still not be resolved.
If she performs too well, the Xiao couple might like her too much and urge them to put the marriage on the agenda every day. This is not a solution either.
Moreover, she and Xiao Han were just pretending to be a couple. If the Xiao couple had too perfect an impression of her, it would be an obstacle for Xiao Han to find someone she truly loved in the future.
"Sister, stop worrying about nothing." Meng Anran understood what Meng Zhen meant and reluctantly advised, "Since Xiao Han took the initiative to ask you for help, don't you think he hasn't considered these issues in advance? Don't overthink it. Your task is to dress appropriately, then go to his house for dinner and greet his parents. He will solve the other problems."
Meng Zhen suddenly realized something, pursed her lips and pondered for a moment before asking, "An Ran, your relationship with Xiao Han... seems to be better than I thought."
