Chapter 200 It's obvious that he's deliberately teasing her
Meng Anran was clearly confused by Meng Zhen's words. After a moment of confusion, she said, "I've known him since we were seven years old. How could we not be familiar with each other?"
There shouldn't be any misunderstandings, right?
Meng Zhen considered her words and said, "The few times I've been out with Xiao Han, he's often mentioned you. At dinner, he'd talk about how picky you are, at movies, he'd talk about the melodramatic scenes you disliked the most, and when we were shopping, he'd talk about how you were annoyed by the salespeople's persistent sales pitches. He became famous early and is often away from Beijing. I thought you two only met occasionally, but you understand each other better than I thought."
Whether it's personality, preferences, or behavior, they know each other better than family members.
Meng Anran chuckled, "So, what do you want to express?"
Meng Zhen pursed her lips and said hesitantly: "Does Xiao Han... like you?"
Hearing this, Meng Anran sighed, feeling helpless and amused. It turned out to be a misunderstanding.
She and Qin Mu have a harmonious relationship and have been very close since childhood. Who among their friends doesn't know this?
What could happen to Xiao Han?
"Sister, could you please stop thinking about random things all day long?" Meng Anran said with a smile, "Let me put it this way, if you and Qiao Yichen were to go out to dinner, what else would you talk about besides talking about your brother?"
Meng Zhen pursed her lips and thought about it. There was indeed no other topic except talking about people they were familiar with.
Meng Anran continued, "Although you are interested in interior design, your professions are completely different after all. You don't understand the in-depth aspects of interior design, and Xiao Han doesn't understand medicine. There is little value in discussing such superficial topics, so we can only use me as the topic.
"Xiao Han became famous early, but that was when he was sixteen. We were in contact quite a lot before that, and he and Qin Mu got along well. Over time, they naturally got to know each other."
And we have to admit that in most cases, we are more willing to confide in friends about many things hidden in our hearts, we are more able to understand each other among our peers, and we will subconsciously pretend to be the way our family likes us in front of our families.
Naturally, friends sometimes understand each other better than family members.
Just like Xiao Han made all kinds of sarcastic comments in front of them every day, and occasionally used a few swear words when he got emotional.
How could he dare curse in front of his parents who had just left the army? His emotions were as stable as if he had been a monk.
Meng Zhen was silent for a moment, and seemed to agree with her sister's words. Her messy thoughts were sorted out a little, and she felt inexplicably less entangled.
She was quite scared. What if the person she liked was in love with her sister? She really didn't know how to get along with Xiao Han.
I don’t know what time they were chatting until the two sisters’ conversation gradually became quieter and they both fell asleep.
Unlike the warmth here, Lu Qingcheng, who was kicked out, was homeless and could only find a hotel to stay temporarily.
Accustomed to living in a big villa, Lu Qingcheng couldn't stand the crowded and simple environment of the small hotel, so she chose a five-star hotel.
"Welcome, do you need a place to stay?" The receptionist was wearing a white shirt, with a polite and respectful attitude and an official and professional smile.
Lu Qingcheng glanced at the price list and pointed to the top column without hesitation, "Get a presidential suite."
Lu Yi gave her one million, so she could still afford to live in the presidential suite.
"Okay." The receptionist smiled and said, "How do I pay?"
"Swipe the card." Lu Qingcheng handed over the bank card generously.
The receptionist took it with both hands, took out the POS machine and swiped it.
Insufficient card balance.
Her smile faltered for a moment, and she tried again.
Lu Qingcheng couldn't wait any longer. She had walked a long way today and had gone to Meng's house to make a fuss. She was exhausted both physically and mentally. She just wanted to take a hot bath and lie down on the soft big bed to sleep.
He urged impatiently, "Are you done yet? Why are you so clumsy? You can't even use a POS machine? How did you get this job?"
The receptionist curled her lips and handed the bank card back with both hands. "Sorry, your card has insufficient balance. Please change it."
"What?" Lu Qingcheng frowned and widened her eyes, holding the bank card in her palm in disbelief. "How is this possible?! There's clearly a million in it!"
The receptionist was still polite and said, "You can go to the bank ATM to check your balance."
Lu Qingcheng gritted her teeth, feeling deeply humiliated, her face turning pale and blue.
He glared at the other person hatefully, turned around and walked away with big strides.
After leaving the hotel, she couldn't wait to call Lu Yi and ask him where the one million went!
I called several times, but the other end just hung up and didn't answer at all!
It was obvious that he was deliberately playing a trick on her!
"Damn it! Lu Yi! How dare you lie to me!" Lu Qingcheng cursed inwardly with gritted teeth.
She had no habit of saving money and spent whatever she had. She had spent all the money the Lu family gave her every month. Now she only had 367.4 yuan in her WeChat account.
Even if she could barely get a room in a small hotel for one night, she still had to eat and travel!
Without this one million, how could she survive in Beijing, a city with extremely high prices?!
Lu Qingcheng stood on the side of the road, feeling entangled in the fear of an uncertain future. Her heart was pounding, and she was afraid that she would really have to sleep under the bridge like a beggar.
No! I absolutely cannot live that kind of miserable life!
Lu Yi and Lu Heng are difficult to deal with and will definitely ignore her, so she has to start with the Meng family.
No matter what means are used, the Meng family must be forced to arrange accommodation for her!
Evil thoughts are hidden in the dark night, and the sleeping family knows nothing about it. They wake up to greet a new day.
Breakfast was rice noodles with beef meatballs cooked by Su Wanman.
When Meng Anran finished washing up and went downstairs, everyone was eating except her.
After sitting down at his seat, he casually placed his phone on the table and picked up his chopsticks to stir the chopped green onions floating in the soup.
Ever since hearing about what happened to Meng Anran at the Lu family last night, the family's attention has all been focused on her.
In the past, when she was eating at home, she never mentioned that she didn't like onions, nor was she picky. Sometimes, even if the meat she picked was dipped in chopped onions, she would still eat it.
At this moment, everyone noticed her little action and realized that she didn't eat onions.
Everyone felt a dull pain in their hearts. Meng Anran had been accommodating them all these years, but they only now understood her little habits.
Meng Yushu put down his chopsticks, went into the kitchen, got a spoon, and scooped all the chopped green onions in Meng Anran's bowl into his own bowl.
Meng Anran was startled, then looked up to see her brother's gentle smile. Meng Yushu's eyes were filled with doting, and he said softly, "Eat quickly, the rice noodles won't taste good if they clump together."
Meng Anran blinked and realized that other people were also staring at her, as if telling her with their eyes: Don’t force yourself to do something you don’t like in the future.
