Chapter 263 You are quite good at changing positions
These words woke Meng Zhen up from her dream, and she suddenly realized that her thoughts all along were biased.
She had never been in love, so when she was with Xiao Han, she naturally thought that she should stand on the same side with Xiao Han and that going through fire and water for love was what was called "responsible."
But she never thought that her father was the man who loved her the most in the world, and by doing this she was standing against her father.
Not only was the father and daughter unable to communicate well and effectively, but a gap was created between them, which made the father feel disheartened.
Naturally, he was even more opposed to her and Xiao Han being together.
"Then... I'll pick you up at the airport tomorrow." Meng Zhen thought it through and realized that she should face it together with Xiao Han, but in the process she should also look at the problem from her father's perspective.
"No, it's too early. You don't have to go to work, so you should get some sleep. I'll message you when I get there."
After hanging up the phone, Xiao Han looked at his unfamiliar black-haired self in the mirror and suddenly laughed out loud.
It’s a wonderful feeling to make changes for “love” for the first time in my twenties.
On the way to the airport after leaving the barber shop, Xiao Han contacted Meng Anran again: "Miss, please give me some more information."
Meng Anran didn't have the habit of turning on silent mode when sleeping, and because of her poor sleep quality, the sound of her cell phone vibrating was enough to wake her up.
She replied to Xiao Han: [I am your girlfriend's sister, not a news seller.]
[Xiao Han]: We are friends, don’t be so cold.
[Meng Anran]: If you have to fart, let it out quickly.
Xiao Han: I'm about to board the plane and will arrive in Beijing tomorrow morning. What should I bring back for a visit to my uncle and aunt?
Meng Anran laughed helplessly. He came here to spy on how to win over his future father-in-law and mother-in-law.
She thought about it carefully and replied, "Does it matter what you send? You should worry about whether you can get in."
[Xiao Han]: Miss, have you been drinking Hedinghong recently? Why are you speaking so harshly?
Although Meng Anran was harsh in her words, she still arrived at the airport gate on time at seven o'clock in the morning to pick up Xiao Han.
"The young lady still loves me." Xiao Han smiled playfully, showing no sign of nervousness about meeting his girlfriend's parents.
Meng Anran gave him a disdainful look and raised her hand to ruffle his short hair. "Did you really dye it black? It's not a one-time thing, is it?"
"Of course not." Xiao Han straightened his back, showing a bit of pride, "I am a man of my words. How about it? Does this new hairstyle look good?"
Meng Anran narrowed her eyes and then looked away, "I don't like it. Yellow hair suits you better."
The black-haired girl was too well-behaved and serious, which did not fit Xiao Han's lively and irritable personality at all.
After getting in the car, Meng Anran started the car and drove away from the airport. She casually asked, "So you can't go to the Ming family cocktail party tonight?"
"Probably. If I can have a good chat with my uncle, I will naturally have dinner with the two elders in the evening."
"I'm afraid it's quite difficult." Meng Anran glanced at him with a meaningful look in her eyes. "Don't say I'm pouring cold water on you. The degree to which my father loves his daughter is beyond your comprehension."
"I understand." Xiao Han leaned back in his chair tiredly and yawned. "Put yourself in my shoes. If I had a daughter in the future, and I'd held her in my hands and cared for her for over twenty years, and suddenly one day some young man tricked her away without a word and took her to a strange city thousands of kilometers away, I wouldn't be happy either."
Meng Anran sneered, "You are quite good at changing your position. It seems that your coming here today will have a good result."
Xiao Han's eyes suddenly lit up, and he turned his head to stare at Meng Anran expectantly, "Is this true? Miss, please don't mess with me!"
Meng Anran shrugged, as if she was not responsible for what she said. "I am only responsible for picking you up and sending you to my house. You and my sister can handle the rest."
She never liked to interfere in other people's love affairs, and she came to pick him up early in the morning simply because they were friends.
Besides, Xiao Han is her best friend whom she has known for more than ten years, Meng Zhen is her sister, and Meng Rong is her father. If she gets involved in this matter, it would be wrong to help anyone.
It’s better to stay out of it.
I took Xiao Han to the mall to buy some gifts. At eleven o'clock, the car stopped in front of the Meng family villa.
"Okay, go in by yourself. My sister is waiting for you at home." Meng Anran turned her head and glanced at him with a neutral look. It was obvious that she didn't care whether he and Meng Zhen could get through this difficult time.
"Thank you, Miss, for being my driver for the whole morning." Xiao Han unbuckled his seatbelt and said in a low voice, "Just wait until you start calling me brother-in-law."
"Get out." Meng Anran glared at him, and the latter got out of the car with a smile.
Xiao Han stood in front of the Meng family villa and took a deep breath.
He raised his hand to check again whether his tie was straight and his black hair was in place - this was the first time in ten years that he appeared in such a formal appearance on an important occasion.
After the doorbell rang three times, it was Meng Zhen who opened the door.
She looked up and down at Xiao Han's new image, her eyes lit up, and then she became worried: "You really came..."
Xiao Han held her hand and lowered his voice: "Don't worry, the worst result is being kicked out. I have a thick skin."
Meng Zhen smiled slightly at his amusement and stepped aside to let him in. "Come in, I told my parents you would come. Mom went to buy groceries, and Dad is in the study."
The study door was closed. Meng Zhen knocked gently: "Dad, Xiao Han is here."
There was silence inside for a few seconds, and the wooden door suddenly opened, revealing Meng Rong's face, which was as serious as black ink.
He glanced at Xiao Han standing behind Meng Zhen, and a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
Dyed your hair black?
"Hello, uncle." Xiao Han bowed respectfully, then presented the gift with both hands. "I heard that you like to drink tea, so I brought you some tea."
Meng Rong didn't answer, but said coldly: "Go sit in the living room."
The atmosphere in the living room was so solemn that water could almost drip out. Meng Zhen sat uneasily between the two of them, and Xiao Han gave her a comforting look.
Then he calmly opened the conversation: "Uncle, I understand your concern for Zhenzhen. To be honest, I haven't known her for long. She suddenly said she wanted to go to Hai City to live with me. It's normal for you to have concerns.
"I am willing to accept your assessment, no matter how long it takes, until you recognize that my abilities and character are sufficient to make her life happy and fulfilling. Hai City is a hub for the development of various design industries. Zhenzhen wants to study interior design, and Hai City would be a great place for her. I will arrange a safe and comfortable separate residence for her. I hope you don't ignore her aspirations for interior design just because you are dissatisfied with me."
The words were pertinent, and seemed to be genuinely concerned about Meng Zhen's future. Meng Rong was quite satisfied with what he said, and his opinion of Xiao Han changed slightly.
After a long silence, he finally spoke: "I heard An Ran mention that your family is a military family?"
A simple question suddenly brightened Xiao Han's mood. Asking about his family background meant they were willing to give him a chance!
*
On the night of the Ming family cocktail party, the sky in the back garden of Yandu Hotel was lit up by brilliant fireworks.
Meng Anran stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, her fingers gently stroking the diamond necklace that Qin Mu had just put on her neck. Beneath the cool touch was her skin that was gradually warming up.
"What are you thinking about?" Qin Mu put his arms around her waist from behind, resting his chin on her shoulder, with a faint scent of tequila on his breath.
Meng Anran tilted her head, her gaze falling on his well-defined jawline. "I wonder if Mingjing will be so nervous tonight that he'll say the wrong line."
Qin Mu chuckled, his warm breath spraying on her ears, "Compared to this, I'm more curious about the progress on Xiao Han's side."
"It will go smoothly." Meng Anran said with certainty, and couldn't help but curl up the corners of his mouth.
The phone vibrated, interrupting their tender moment. It was a message from Xiao Li: [Boss An, I think I saw Boss Situ just now.]
Meng Anran's body stiffened.
Situ Huajian is back?
