Chapter 5 You Miss Me
The whole family worked until after one in the morning before going to bed.
The small electric fan was creaking on the summer night. The house had poor sound insulation, and it felt like rustling sounds could be heard from all directions, and occasionally there was the squeaking of mice climbing the electrical wires outside the window.
Meng Anran’s sleep quality has always been poor, and she can only rely on the noise-isolating earplugs she carries with her to block out the sporadic noises.
But the sweltering temperature, unfamiliar environment and hard bed still made it difficult for her to sleep all night.
The next day, when I opened my eyes and took off my earplugs, I heard conversation in the living room.
"Is An Ran still awake?"
"No, I heard her tossing and turning last night. I guess she's not used to this bed. You should buy her a thick mattress. You can pay later when you buy it online. My scholarship will be paid next week, so I'll pay her then."
"Zhenzhen, we only have two daughters in our family. We can't favor one over the other. Keep the scholarship for yourself. Dad can take care of the mattress."
"Yes, Zhenzhen, you should also keep this month's living expenses."
"No need, Mom. You can keep it. I work part-time in the school cafeteria, so I don't have to spend money on food. I also earn enough to spend. Anran is new here and she's not used to many things yet. I'll try to improve the food at home so she can eat better."
The three people spoke very quietly, but the house was not big and the sound insulation was poor, so Meng Anran could hear it clearly.
To be honest, the information shows that the Meng family is a well-off family. They own a car and a house. Their children will definitely not be approved for poverty subsidies.
But with all four children in school and Su Wanman unemployed, life was inevitably a little tight.
When Meng Anran changed her clothes and went out, Meng Zhen and Meng Rong had already left.
"Mom, where are Dad and sister going?"
Su Wanman poured a cup of warm water and handed it to Meng Anran. "School will start in a few days. Your sister is studying at a university outside the province. She said she came back early to clean the dormitory. Your father is driving a ride-hailing service, so he took your sister to the train station."
Traveling long distances by train is particularly tiring, but the advantage is that it is cheap, and tickets in the morning are cheaper than at other times.
Mengzhen was obviously trying to save money.
The person who saves money to the extreme was afraid that she would not sleep comfortably, so he decisively spent more than a thousand yuan to buy her a softer mattress.
Meng Anran frowned slightly, feeling a little strange in her heart.
In her eyes, selfless dedication has always been the behavior of fools.
Breakfast was egg noodles cooked by Su Wanman, and the four of them ate happily around the small table.
After breakfast, Meng Yushu went out to work part-time.
Meng Anran also packed her bag and came out of the room, "Mom, can you give me my household registration booklet? I need to transfer my household registration out of the Lu family."
Su Wanman responded repeatedly: "Okay, wait a moment, I'll give it to you."
After getting the household registration book, Meng Anran promised to come back for dinner in the evening and then left.
Across the intersection of the vegetable market, a black Maybach was parked.
Meng Anran opened the back door and got in.
The young man next to her had gentle features and was full of vigor. Ever since he saw Meng Anran from afar, he had never taken his eyes off her.
"My lady has a very cruel heart. She didn't even inform me about such a big thing."
Meng Anran curled the corners of her lips and said, "You are abroad. What if I tell you?"
The young man uttered a meaningful "oh" and said jokingly, "So you missed me and are angry with me."
Meng Anran was speechless and amused, "Qin Mu, where did you learn to speak so narcissistically?"
Qin Mu sighed sadly, "There's nothing I can do. The eldest lady hasn't contacted me for so long. I can only comfort myself."
"Okay, stop acting." Meng Anran was speechless and poked his arm with her fingertips.
Qin Mu stopped joking and asked, "Have you decided to stay there?"
"Yeah." Meng Anran yawned and leaned on Qin Mu's shoulder. Then she took out two household registration books from her bag and handed them over. "Hey, thank you for your help, Young Master Qin."
After Qin Mu took it, he threw it directly into the front passenger seat and told the driver: "Send someone to handle the formalities later."
"yes."
Smelling the scent of Qin Mu, Meng Anran gradually relaxed, and her voice became softer and softer: "The bed is too hard, I didn't sleep well all night."
"Send someone to send Zhang Xin over tomorrow. Come and stay at my place tonight." After Qin Mu finished speaking, he didn't hear Meng Anran say anything. He lowered his head slightly and took a look, and found that she had fallen asleep.
He curled his lips helplessly and told the driver to turn up the air conditioner temperature.
Among her close friends, Meng Anran trusts Qin Mu the most, whom she has known since she was two years old.
Her sleep quality has always been poor, but as long as she is with Qin Mu, she can stop thinking about anything and sleep soundly.
When I woke up again, I had already arrived at the Western restaurant.
Meng Anran sipped sparkling water and talked about what happened after the banquet was interrupted last night: "The Lu family seems to be prosperous on the surface, but it is actually an abyss. I am afraid Lu Qingcheng will suffer in the future."
"None of that matters."
Qin Mu placed all the steaks cut into small pieces in front of Meng Anran, and took the opportunity to exchange her portion which had not been touched at all.
"Anyway, it's a good thing that you can leave the Lu family. Haven't you been waiting for this opportunity for two years?"
