Chapter 331: It’s easy to invite a god, but hard to send him away
On the day of going to Chengdu to take a hot spring bath, Meng Anran arranged a seven-seater commercial vehicle to take her family away first.
Qin Mu drove his Maybach and stopped in front of the Meng family villa. He hadn't seen his girl for several days, so when he saw her, he hugged her and kissed her.
"Qin...Qin Mu!" Meng Anran's face flushed red as she struggled to push him away. Just when she could catch her breath, she glared at him unhappily, "I'm running out of oxygen!"
Looking at her lips that were red from being kissed, Qin Mu couldn't help laughing. He leaned over and pecked her lightly: "I missed you. Did you miss me?"
Meng Anran turned away: "No."
Qin Mu pinched her face helplessly and lovingly, "Miss, you say one thing and mean another."
After getting in the car, Meng Anran fastened her seat belt and said, "Let's go quickly to pick up Mr. Wu."
Wu Chongxi called her at six o'clock this morning and asked her when she would come to pick him up. He said that he had already put on his clothes and changed his shoes, and urged her to come quickly and not forget him.
Thinking of that old naughty boy, Qin Mu smiled helplessly: "Probably no one except you is willing to pamper Old Wu like this."
Even he would not remember to take Mr. Wu out to play or spend some time with him during the Chinese New Year when he is with his family.
Meng Anran shrugged and said casually, "He is a friend and an elder."
The car soon arrived at the Golden Osmanthus Garden.
Hearing the sound of the engine, Wu Chongxi hurried out with brisk steps and a rare look of joy on his face.
He looked so excited that he didn't look like an old man in his seventies or eighties, but more like a child of seven or eight years old.
"You're finally here! Look what time it is!" As soon as he saw Meng Anran, he kept complaining like a neglected child.
"Here he is." Meng Anran got out of the car to pick him up.
Qin Mu got out of the car and helped put all his luggage in the trunk.
"Hey, it's been a while since I last saw you!" Wu Chongxi patted Qin Mu's shoulder, his tone tinged with resentment. "Are you here to be An Ran's driver today?"
Qin Mu pursed his lips helplessly, "Can't I go play together?"
"Tsk!" Wu Chongxi turned his face away proudly. "If I hadn't been Xiao Anran's driver, you probably wouldn't have remembered me when you went out to play! You didn't even come to pay New Year's greetings."
Qin Mu sighed secretly: "Mom and Dad have brought my grandparents back home. It's been a long time since I last saw them. I have to spend some time with them."
Wu Chongxi rolled his eyes and said, "There are quite a lot of people here today! I guess the Hot Spring Villa is full of us, right?"
"Then you really underestimate me." Meng Anran opened the back door and invited Mr. Wu to get in.
Yang Yan sat in the back row with Mr. Wu.
After the car started, Meng Anran continued, "After all, it's a branch of the Yandu Hotel, and it's also a hot spring villa, so it's quite large."
"So how many people are going together?" Wu Chongxi was curious. He hadn't socialized for a long time and was afraid that if there were too many people and no one familiar with him, he would be ignored if he went there.
"My family and a few friends." Meng Anran said.
Wu Chongxi raised his eyebrows and looked at Qin Mu who was driving: "Qin Mu's family isn't going?"
Qin Mu hummed: "Grandpa and grandma haven't been to Beijing for a long time. Mom and Dad said they would accompany them to go shopping."
"Where's your sister?"
"I received a new order these two days and am working on the manuscript at home."
The journey was a bit far, and after chatting for a while, Wu Chongxi, who had gotten up too early in the morning, fell asleep in the back seat.
After nearly four hours, we finally reached our destination.
The Hot Spring Villa is a high-end resort under the Yandu Hotel. It is located halfway up the mountain, surrounded by lush bamboo forests, with snow-capped mountains faintly visible in the distance.
The car drove into the gate of the villa, with neatly trimmed Podocarpus trees on both sides, their branches as vigorous as ink paintings.
The entire building is a wooden structure imitating the Tang style, with bronze wind chimes hanging on the eaves and corners, which make crisp sounds in the wind.
Wu Chongxi looked out the car window and couldn't help but exclaim, "It's even more magnificent than I imagined!"
Meng Anran raised her eyebrows proudly: "Of course, I specially invited a famous local craftsman to do the wood carving."
Qin Mu parked the car and naturally took Meng Anran's luggage bag: "Uncle and aunt should be here, right?"
"Yes." Meng Anran put on her messenger bag and went to support Mr. Wu. "This time, we will arrange everything in the main building. The Guanxue Pavilion with the best view is reserved for you. You can see the hot spring area by opening the window."
"Xiao Anran is the most considerate!" Wu Chongxi smiled so hard that only a slit remained in his eyes. He hadn't traveled for a long time and loved to see natural scenery the most!
The four of them walked into the lobby, where the decoration style was completely different from that of Yandu Hotel.
A giant bamboo lantern hangs from the ceiling, and the ground is paved with bluestone slabs with warm yellow floor lamps embedded in the gaps.
The background wall of the reception desk is a dynamic landscape painting. When you look at it from different distances, you will see different scenery of the four seasons.
Wu Chongxi looked around, his mouth never closing. "An Ran, when did your taste change? It's antique and has an artistic atmosphere!"
"My taste has never changed." Meng Anran chuckled. In the past, opening a store or a company was mainly based on financial power, so the decoration was naturally high-end and luxurious.
This hot spring villa was completely her own choice, wanting a cozy place where she could occasionally bring her family and friends to relax.
Naturally, the decoration style is also based on her preferences.
Meng Anran led the way and sent Wu Chongxi to Guanxue Pavilion, letting him rest first and then taking him around to visit later.
Just as I left Guanxue Pavilion, a familiar, casual voice came faintly: "My dear sister is finally here. I thought you had forgotten me."
Meng Anran turned her head and saw Lu Yi walking towards her with big strides, his silver hair shining with golden light under the warm yellow light.
There was a resentful and malicious smile hidden in those seductive fox eyes.
Meng Anran stood there with her hands raised, watching him approach quietly. "From your tone, you sound like a concubine who has been banished to the cold palace."
Lu Yi stopped half a step away from her, curled his lips seductively, and suddenly put his big hand on her head. "In the cold palace, at most people will ignore me. But here, I am being watched like a criminal. It's even worse."
"Really?" Meng Anran slapped his hand away, saying with a half-smile, "But I think you look pretty good. I can't tell that you're in such a bad state."
Lu Yi gritted his teeth and said, "Are you really not afraid that I will demolish your villa before it even opens?"
"I'm scared." Meng Anran smiled contentedly, looking pure and sweet, but inexplicably giving people the impression of harboring ill intentions. "So I told your brother to come quickly and take you away. I can't accommodate you here anymore."
Lu Yi snorted coldly: "It's easier to invite a god than to send him away. Don't you understand, sister?"
Meng Anran's smile faded a little, and a sharp coldness rose in his eyes.
The two men stared at each other, neither giving in, and there was a flash of lightning and thunder.
Qin Mu, who was standing aside, held his forehead helplessly. Didn’t the relationship ease up some time ago?
How come after not seeing you for a while, you're fighting to the death again?
