Chapter 25: Got Slipped Around for No Reason
Meng Anran sighed, closed the thermos, and said casually, "Let them go crazy. There's not a single normal person in the Lu family. Let's have lunch together tomorrow. I have a problem that I can't figure out recently, and I want to talk to you about it."
"Okay, I'll pick you up then." Qin Mu's voice was filled with laughter, and he couldn't help but give a few more reminders: "Be careful when you go out, and call me if you have any questions."
"Yeah, hung up."
After hanging up the phone, Meng Anran charged her phone and went to the bathroom to wash up.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Meng Yushu coming out of the room.
"Good morning, brother!"
Meng Anran greeted with a smile on her face, her long hair loose, and her strawberry pajamas set off her smooth and flawless face, which was so smooth that even tiny hairs could be seen, making her look extremely soft.
Meng Yushu couldn't help but rub her head. "Good morning. What do you want for breakfast? Steamed buns? Soy milk and fried dough sticks? Or should I make you some egg noodles?"
Feeling the tingling sensation on her head, Meng Anran did not feel repulsed. Every movement he made was very gentle and would not mess up her hair. She had become accustomed to being touched on the head by Meng Yushu.
This feeling is like that of siblings, intimate and doting.
Oh, they are siblings.
"I guess Mom has prepared breakfast." Meng Anran walked into the bathroom.
When Meng Yushu heard this, he went to the kitchen to take a look, and it was true.
A large plate of fried noodles was left, enough for the three brothers and sisters.
"Xiaohong hasn't gotten up yet?" Meng Anran spoke unclearly with a toothbrush in her mouth.
"Well, let him sleep a little longer on the weekend." Meng Yushu also went into the bathroom and started brushing his teeth.
There was nothing else to do in the morning, so they had breakfast and went back to their rooms to do their homework.
What students learn in Shenghua is much more than that in ordinary middle schools. Not only do they have to keep up with the college entrance examination subjects, but they also have to take miscellaneous subjects such as aesthetics, economics, equestrianism, golf, and management.
There was so much homework that Meng Anran had a headache.
Halfway through writing, her cell phone rang, interrupting her thoughts.
She glanced at the caller ID, her eyes darkened, and she hung up.
It rang again.
Hang up again.
Keep ringing.
Keep hanging.
The other party kept calling, and the ringing was so loud that even Meng Yushu from the next room came running over to ask what was going on.
Meng Anran waved at Meng Yushu, indicating that she was fine and told him not to worry, and then answered the phone irritably.
"Lu Heng, what do you want to do?"
A low-key and luxurious dark green Mercedes-Benz was parked at the entrance of the community. The man in the back seat had his long legs crossed, and he exuded a noble and calm temperament that made people dare not disrespect him.
Finally hearing Meng Anran's voice on the phone, Lu Heng glanced at the woman walking by with fresh produce outside the car window and said, "Your biological mother is indeed a beauty... I'm at the gate of your community. Come down and talk to me, or I can invite this lady into the car to chat."
Lu Heng's voice was as calm as water, but it made Meng Anran's heart beat fast.
At this time, he probably met Su Wanman who was coming back from buying groceries.
"You wait." Meng Anran hung up the phone, grabbed the key and ran out.
She knew Lu Heng too well. He seemed gentle and polite on the surface, but was actually ruthless.
If Su Wanman was invited into his car, it's hard to say whether what was sent back would be some body parts.
In just two minutes, Meng Anran had changed her shoes and ran downstairs, where she happened to meet Su Wanman.
"Mom." Meng Anran took a breath, slowed down her pace, and put on her usual smile. "You're back so soon? Have you cleaned the store?"
Su Wanman was very happy. She took Meng Anran's hand and said excitedly, "While I was cleaning, several women came over to ask what kind of store I was opening. Seeing that I was well-maintained, they all added WeChat and said they would come and patronize it when it opened."
"Of course, you're the living signboard of your store." Meng Anran patted the back of Su Wanman's hand, as if encouraging, "Mom, you go upstairs and rest for a while. My friend is here to see me, so I'll be out for a while."
"Okay, I'll go upstairs to cook first. Come back early. I bought your favorite hand-shredded chicken for lunch." Su Wanman went upstairs with a smile on her face.
In the Mercedes-Benz, Lu Heng could see the interaction between the two from afar through the car window. Seeing Meng Anran striding towards him, he slowly retracted his gaze and looked forward.
"drive."
"Ah?" The driver was stunned. Didn't he say he came here to find a lady?
I haven't even met the person yet, and you're leaving again?
Lu Heng's cold gaze met the driver's in the rearview mirror. The driver was horrified and immediately started the car and drove away.
Meng Anran happened to walk to the door and watched the Mercedes-Benz drive away in front of her.
She frowned, a question mark appearing in her head.
What are you crazy about?
Meng Anran took out her cell phone and called Lu Heng, and the call was connected quickly.
"Don't you want to talk to me? You left as soon as I came down and took me for a walk?" Meng Anran's tone was quite bad. She was already unhappy with Lu Heng, and now she was even more unhappy because he took her for no reason.
Lu Heng was very calm and said confidently: "I suddenly don't want to talk anymore. I'll pick you up for dinner tomorrow night."
Then, the connection was disconnected directly.
Listening to the phone beeping, Meng Anran was going to smash her phone on the spot if she missed two etiquette classes.
Haha, it turns out that none of the people with the surname Lu are normal!
…
The glass door of the pet shop was pushed open violently, and the wind chimes vibrated like explosions.
"Welcome--" The clerk's greeting was stuck in his throat. The man at the door had a smile on his face, but his eyes made her feel cold.
Lu Yi casually shook off the water droplets on his umbrella and glanced at the various types of dogs in the cages, including ferocious large dogs and cute and docile dogs.
When his eyes fell on the brown and white Border Collie in the cage in the corner, a smile of pleasure appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"That one."
Border Collies are smart, just like her.
——
Seven years ago.
On the winding mountain road late at night, Meng Anran curled up in the passenger seat and shivered.
Lu Yi stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the wipers on the windshield swung frantically, but he couldn't get rid of the distorted shadows of the trees.
It's like a wronged ghost in the forest, lingering around.
"What are you afraid of?" Lu Yi released the steering wheel with one hand, and suddenly pinched Meng Anran's neck with his cold fingers. There was a morbid excitement in his eyes. "How exciting! Look outside, it's a cliff. Fall down and it will go boom! Woohoo!"
Ten-year-old Meng Anran was frightened. She curled up into a ball, her nerves tense, and her heart seemed to be about to burst out of her chest.
"Stop, stop!" she said tremblingly.
Lu Yi curled the corners of his lips and slammed on the brakes.
The car skidded on the asphalt road, suddenly shifting its direction, and the rear end of the car swung over the edge of the cliff. The moment the tires crushed the guardrail, her nails dug deep into his arm.
Boom——
The rear wheels fell off the cliff and the car slid backwards. Meng Anran closed her eyes tightly and sobbed softly. When the car stopped sliding, she opened her eyes and pulled the door.
"Lu Yi! Open the door!"
Lu Yi had a casual smirk on his lips. He loved seeing her expression like this the most. It was very interesting, full of tension, fear, anger, and impatience.
He pinched her chin with such force that it seemed as if he wanted to crush her bones. "Why get off the car? Don't you think this is exciting? Let's go to hell together. I will continue to be your brother in the next life."
——
Lu Yi pulled himself out of his memories and took the Border Collie puppy from the clerk.
I think my sister will be very happy to receive this gift.
