Chapter 118 He seems to really have a family
Su Wanman and Meng Rong were stunned. Wutong suddenly had a son?
Meng Yushu nudged Qiao Yichen with her elbow and said disdainfully, "My parents already have two pairs of children, there's no room for you."
After saying that, he pulled out a champagne rose from his bouquet and handed it to Qiao Yichen, "Here, a little gift from my brother."
Meng Anran looked down at the flowers in her arms, followed suit, pulled out a red rose and handed it over, "Brother Yichen, this is a token of my appreciation."
Qiao Yichen gratefully accepted the two roses and declared, "When I become famous all over the country, I will definitely give you two autographed photos as soon as possible!"
Meng Yushu chuckled, "Thank you so much."
"What's with that expression on your face!" Qiao Yichen was unhappy. He felt a strong sense of disgust.
The two friends were bickering with each other, and Meng Anran felt so familiar...
Aren’t these Liu Zhi and Ming Jing from junior high school?
"safely!"
Hearing the enthusiastic voice, Meng Anran just turned her head and was almost knocked to the ground by a flying willow branch.
Fortunately, Meng Yushu supported her back from behind, so she was able to steady her steps.
"You're always making noises all day long." Ming Jing walked over slowly, with helplessness in his tone.
"What do you care!" Liu Zhi turned her head and glared at him, then she became obedient again in a second and greeted Meng Rong and Su Wanman politely: "Hello, uncle and aunt."
"Hey, hello, Zhizhi." The more Su Wanman looked at Liuzhi, the more she liked her. She was lively and cheerful, unlike her two daughters, one was introverted and taciturn, and the other was calm and precocious.
Children in their teens and twenties should be like willow branches, cheerful, lively, unrestrained and free.
Meng Rong doesn't think so. In his eyes, his two daughters are treasures given to him by God. One is a high-end scientific and technological talent, and the other is a versatile businesswoman who has made a fortune. They are both promising pillars of society!
Of course, he also loves his daughter's friends, so he also thinks that Liuzhi and Mingjing are very good kids.
"Zhizhi, Xiaojing, why don't you two take the college entrance examination?" Mengrong asked.
Ming Jing replied politely without sounding distant, "My family has already made arrangements to send us abroad for a few years of training."
Liu Zhi added, "If I could choose, I would also like to stay in China and go to college with An Ran. Unfortunately, I'm the only daughter in my family, and everyone hopes that I can take over the family business as soon as possible."
This is the truth. Traveling abroad is to appreciate the scenery and experience the culture, but studying abroad is equivalent to living in an unfamiliar place for several years.
I eat unfamiliar food, speak an unfamiliar language, and have few familiar people around me.
I can already imagine how boring such a life would be.
"Oh, it's okay. It's all for the sake of comfort in the future." Su Wanman inevitably likes to use the same rhetoric as other parents when talking to her children.
Liu Zhi didn't argue. "You're right. Working hard for a few years now will make you more proficient in your work in the future."
Meng Anran couldn't help laughing when she heard this. She didn't know who was complaining a few days ago about how after more than ten years of business education, one had to stay abroad for two years, as if soaking in sea water could make one gilded.
After chatting for a while, Su Wanman and Meng Rong invited a few friends to have dinner together.
Meng Anran looked around but didn't see any sign of Qin Mu, so she asked Ming Jing, "Didn't Qin Mu say he was coming over? Where is he?"
Hearing this, the Meng couple and Meng Yushu immediately pricked up their ears. Would they have the chance to see An Ran’s boyfriend in person?
"Ahem..." Ming Jing subconsciously glanced at Meng Rong and Su Wanman, then leaned over to Meng Anran's ear and whispered, "He's already here, but he didn't know your parents were here. It's their first meeting, so he's got to show some appreciation, so he went shopping for gifts again."
Meng Anran frowned in confusion. It wasn't like he was meeting the parents formally. He just happened to meet and have a meal together. Why was there so much etiquette?
However, thinking about what Meng Yushu said last time, that Qin Mu would be nervous when meeting her family, it just showed that he valued her, and she became more cheerful.
She told her parents frankly, "Qin Mu said he couldn't come empty-handed when meeting his parents for the first time, so he went shopping. Let's go to the restaurant first and ask him to wait and meet up there directly."
Su Wanman and Meng Rong looked at each other and both smiled happily. These children have higher emotional intelligence than each other.
Normally, when high school students are in a relationship, they would try their best to avoid each other's parents. How could they be so thoughtful as to prepare gifts?
"Okay, your dad has reserved a table at the Jinyu Restaurant. Let's go there first." Su Wanman took her daughter's arm and said jokingly, "Tell your boyfriend not to worry and drive safely on the road."
Meng Anran pursed her lips and smiled, "Okay, I'll send him a message."
…
Duan Jingyao sat in the back seat of the black car, looking at the street scenes flashing by outside the window, and his mind kept recalling the scene he had just seen.
As soon as Meng Anran and her brother came out of the examination room, they were greeted by family and friends, holding flowers in their arms. The atmosphere was harmonious and cheerful.
Looks very happy.
He has never felt loved, whether by family or friends.
He has been without parents since birth, and only has an aunt who is not related to him by blood. Over the years, he has felt the importance his aunt attaches to him, but that importance is more accurately described as harsh.
To polish it into a perfect blade.
The sharp blade that stabbed his biological parents.
He couldn't help but wonder, if he had returned to the Lu family now, even if Bai Yujin and Lu Zhong didn't care about him, would his two brothers be waiting outside the examination room to greet him?
He was not sure, and until now he had not been able to accurately understand what Lu Heng and Lu Yi were thinking.
He only knew that today was the first time in more than ten years that he felt envious.
I envy Meng Anran for having the love of her family and the favor of her friends. I envy her for being surrounded by a group of people who love her sincerely and can never be driven away.
The car stopped in the parking lot of Jiangpan No. 9 Building. The driver was the bodyguard who had been monitoring Duan Jingyao.
"Master, Mr. Duan has instructed that I will be your pick-up and drop-off when you travel from now on."
"I understand. Thank you for your hard work." Duan Jingyao smiled slightly and did not show any dissatisfaction. After getting off the car, he took the elevator directly upstairs from the parking lot.
Ever since he moved to No. 9 Jiangpan last month, his aunt has been keeping a closer eye on him, and she even wants to install a camera in his room.
She was afraid that he would contact Lu Heng and Lu Yi in private and expose her lies.
Back on the 34th floor, Duan Jingyao threw his schoolbag onto the sofa, glanced at the surveillance camera in the living room, and went straight back to his room.
When I turned on the light, I saw two bouquets of flowers on the desk.
A bouquet of lisianthus and baby's breath, the blue and pink color combination looks elegant and sophisticated. A greeting card is inserted between the flowers: [Bought this on the way, happy graduation - big brother]
Another bouquet was a vibrant mix of sunflowers and daisies. Hanging from the ribbon was a card that read, "My taste is definitely higher than Lu Heng's."
Duan Jingyao's eyes flickered and warmth flowed through his heart.
He...seems like he really has a family.
