Chapter 326 This milk is quite sweet
Meng Anran looked at Meng Yushu's concerned eyes and sighed softly, "Brother, I know you care about me very much. I originally thought that my connection with the Lu family had been completely severed five years ago, but I recently discovered that this is not the case.
"I was born in the Lu family and lived there for 17 years. I only recently realized that although I escaped from that place on the surface, I am still at the center of the vortex. There are some things I have to deal with myself."
Meng Yushu's eyes darkened, and he reached out and rubbed his sister's head: "I just don't want to see you so tired, and I'm also afraid..."
He didn't continue, but Meng Anran could guess something from his expression: "Brother, even if one day in the future I forgive Lu Heng and Lu Yi, you will always be my family. This will never change."
Meng Yushu sighed. He knew that nothing could be hidden from his sister's sharp eyes. "I'm also afraid that the Lu family is too deep and you will be in danger. You always tell us nothing. Every time we ask, you always say that everything is fine."
Meng Anran took a sip of milk, a faint smile playing on her lips. "You know what? In the circle where I grew up, there's a saying - the less you know, the safer you are. We generally don't delve into things that others don't want to talk about."
"But we are family." Meng Yushu emphasized seriously.
"It's precisely because we are family." Meng Anran emphasized each word, "That's why I don't want to tell you some things. The less you know, the safer you will be."
Meng Yushu's eyes trembled. She probably guessed how dangerous the Lu family's vortex was this time, so she never mentioned it to her family, concealed her movements, and disappeared for a few days from time to time.
"Don't worry, it's almost over." Meng Anran smiled reassuringly, holding the hot milk and taking small sips, "This milk is quite sweet."
Meng Yushu was amused by her cute appearance, and his tense shoulders finally relaxed. "I'm sorry for calling you tonight. I was too anxious and spoke a little harshly. It's also my fault for not considering your situation."
"It's my fault for not arranging the time well. Thank you for keeping it a secret from my parents. Otherwise, they would have grabbed me and asked me a lot of questions." Meng Anran handed over the empty milk cup, "Drink it."
The atmosphere between the two of them relaxed a lot. Meng Yushu looked at the milk foam on his sister's lips, chuckled, pulled out a tissue and handed it to her, and suddenly asked, "Are you going out tomorrow?"
"Well, I have some things to take care of this morning." Meng Anran said vaguely, and then added: "I plan to have dinner with Mr. Wu in the afternoon. How about the whole family go together?"
"Isn't it bad for so many people to bother Mr. Wu?"
"It's okay. That old naughty boy loves the hustle and bustle. It would be so lonely for him to be alone at home during the New Year. Besides, he only has Xiaohong as his apprentice. You are Xiaohong's parents, so it's time for you to meet and have a meal formally."
"I'll do whatever you arrange." Meng Yushu wasn't familiar with Mr. Wu, so his sister could just go and talk to him. He held the empty cup in his hand and rubbed his sister's head with his other hand. "Your hair isn't dry yet. Blow it dry and go to bed early."
When they reached the door, Meng Yushu suddenly stopped, turned around and looked at her deeply: "An Ran, no matter what happens, brother will always stand by you and support you."
Meng Anran was stunned for a moment, and a warm feeling surged in her heart. She nodded: "I know."
After the door closed gently, Meng Anran breathed a sigh of relief. She picked up her phone, replied to Zhao Ming's confirmation message, then turned off the lights and lay down.
In the darkness, she stared at the ceiling, but her mind was unusually clear.
She will go to see Bai Yujin tomorrow. She has many "whys" that she wants to ask clearly, but in the final analysis, she just wants to speak up for Lu Heng, Lu Yi, Lin Rencheng, and the people around her who are caught up in the storm.
With a vibration sound, the screen of the mobile phone on the bedside suddenly lit up.
Meng Anran took a look and saw a message from Kenai: [Are you planning to meet Bai Yujin?]
He really deserves to be my psychiatrist. He can even guess my movements so thoroughly.
Meng Anran thought so and replied: [Yes, tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock, detention center.]
Since Kana asked, I wanted to go with her.
Since she replied like this, it means she is willing to take Konai with her.
Outside the window, the snow is still falling.
Meng Anran turned over and forced herself to sleep. She needed to stay in the best mental state to face tomorrow's competition.
At the same time, Meng Yushu stood in the corridor, looking at his sister's closed door with a frown.
Although he didn't know what happened exactly, he could feel that his sister was under a heavy pressure.
Finally, he sighed softly and turned away.
His sister chose to protect her family by keeping the truth secret, and he would respect that.
After all, he didn't want his parents to be caught up in the storm.
The next morning, Meng Anran got up early.
She tiptoed downstairs, only to find the kitchen light was on.
"So early?" Meng Yushu was wearing an apron and frying eggs. "Sit down and have breakfast."
Meng Anran was a little surprised, but didn't say much and sat down quietly.
The brother and sister remained silent in tacit understanding until breakfast was over.
"I'm going out." Meng Anran picked up her coat.
Meng Yushu handed her a thermos cup and said, "Hot coffee. Remember to wear your scarf and gloves when you go outdoors. You haven't been getting enough rest recently and you're prone to getting sick."
Meng Anran took the cup, looked up at her brother's eyes, and smiled: "My brother is indeed the best brother in the world."
Meng Yushu was stunned for half a second, then smiled, "Please make an appointment with Mr. Wu. If you are sure you want to go, please let me know in advance so I can prepare the gifts."
"Okay." Meng Anran picked up her bag and waved her hand with a smile: "I'm leaving now. You can go back and catch up on some sleep."
"Well, be safe."
Meng Yushu sent her to the door and watched her sister's car drive away.
He knew he couldn't help much, but at least he could let her know that home was a harbor where there would always be a light on for her no matter when she came back.
…
At 9:30 in the morning, when the silver supercar stopped in front of the detention center, a thin layer of snow had already accumulated on the roof of the Volvo next to it.
Meng Anran pushed the door open and got out of the car. Leaning against the car, she opened the thermos and took a sip of the still hot coffee. She looked at the man walking towards her and said, "You're quite early. Did you stay here all night?"
"Not really." Konai pushed his glasses. His khaki woolen coat and camel scarf made him look so gentle, as if he had no edges at all.
Only Meng Anran knew that when it came to matters concerning Ke Ling, her brother Kenai would not be as gentle as he appeared.
When he sees Bai Yujin later, he might have the urge to kill her with a knife.
