Chapter 62 Your Second Sister's Future Husband
After preparing some gifts, Meng Anran returned to the Golden Osmanthus Garden.
The master and apprentice sat in the living room drinking tea and admiring today's work.
"You've come just in time! Come and see my apprentice's new work!" Wu Chongxi was visibly happy, and his pride was especially hard to conceal when he said the three words "my apprentice".
Accepting a disciple was like winning 50 million yuan, and he couldn't wait to show off to the world that he, Wu Chongxi, had a successor.
This work is no longer a simple copy by Meng Chenghong, but his first real calligraphy with personal characteristics under the guidance of Wu Chongxi.
Although it still lacks some emotional expression, the author's unique personality can be vaguely seen from it.
"This is your apprentice's first piece of calligraphy. Shouldn't it be framed and hung in the most conspicuous place in the center of the living room?" Meng Anran teased, putting all the things in his hands on the coffee table.
"Of course, I'll frame it tomorrow." Wu Chongxi chuckled a few times, then curiously rummaged through the gifts Meng Anran brought over and asked, "What did you buy? Is it for me?"
"What else can I do? I can't just eat your meal for free." Meng Anran sat down on the sofa, took the tea Liu Zhile brought, took a sip, and continued, "I bought some tonics like cordyceps and fish maw. You have to make them regularly. Don't always complain about the trouble. I saw there were mooncakes for sale and then I remembered that tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival, so I brought you a box."
"Mooncakes?" Wu Chongxi was a pure old boy, his eyes lit up when he heard it was delicious. "Lotus seed paste with double yolk filling?"
"You have diabetes, so eat less lotus seed paste." Meng Anran glared at him unhappily.
That being said, Wu Chongxi liked mooncakes with lotus seed paste and double yolk filling, so she bought his favorite.
"What else?" Wu Chongxi continued to rummage through the bag and pulled out another box of pastries.
Meng Anran: "Handmade mung bean cakes and sesame cakes."
It was his favorite food again, Wu Chongxi cheered.
"Don't eat too much! Zhile is watching you. Eat at most two pieces a day. If you dare to eat secretly, I won't bring your apprentice here!"
Wu Chongxi curled his lips, "Got it, little ancestor!"
She controls him in every way, not allowing him to eat this or that, and always asking Liu Zhile to make soup for him. Those soups are not tasty at all, how can they be as happy as milk tea?!
After chatting for a while, Qin Mu also arrived.
He was also holding a bunch of gift boxes.
"Mr. Wu, long time no see." Qin Mu greeted him familiarly.
"Hey! You still remember me? I thought you were so immersed in work that you had forgotten me!" Wu Chongxi raised his head proudly, with an expression of "come and coax me".
Qin Mu chuckled and raised the pile of things in his hand, "I'm here to apologize!"
"Look what you bought." Wu Chongxi couldn't wait to take the gift bags and look through them to see if there were any delicious things.
Well... two new sets of clothes, a new pair of shoes, and American ginseng, deer antlers, and sea cucumbers.
Tsk, why are they supplements again!
"Eat less snacks and drink more soup." Qin Mu couldn't help laughing when he saw Wu Chongxi's resentful expression.
Meng Chenghong's small eyes stared at Qin Mu for a moment, unwilling to move away.
This brother is so handsome, even more handsome than my brother.
"Second sister, who is this brother?" He leaned close to Meng Anran and asked in a low voice.
"he……"
Before he could finish his words, Wu Chongxi heard someone say slyly, "This is your second sister's future husband. Call him brother-in-law."
Qin Mu's face suddenly turned red.
"Tsk! Don't teach the kid bad things!" Meng Anran glared at Wu Chongxi angrily, then said seriously to his brother, "This is a friend I've known since childhood. Call him Brother Mu."
Meng Chenghong nodded and politely stood up to greet him, "Hello, Brother Mu. I'm Sister An Ran's younger brother. My name is Meng Chenghong and I'm nine years old."
"Hello, my name is Qin Mu." Qin Mu squatted down to talk to Meng Chenghong and handed over a small gift bag. "It's our first meeting. This is a gift for you."
Meng Chenghong turned his head and looked at his second sister, as if he didn't know whether to accept it or not, and was seeking advice.
"Take it."
After getting permission, Meng Chenghong took the bag with both hands and thanked him obediently: "Thank you, Brother Mu, but I didn't prepare a gift for you. Can I give it to you next time?"
Qin Mu rubbed Xiao Hong's head and curled his lips, "Then write a couple of calligraphy for me as a return gift."
"good!"
Wu Chongxi, who had agreed to cook tonight, went into the kitchen to cook, and Liu Zhile helped him.
Meng Chenghong sat quietly beside her, reading the art book given by her master.
Qin Mu naturally moved closer to Meng Anran.
"I'm tired." He leaned on the girl's shoulder like a big puppy, seeking comfort.
Qin Mu was not acting coquettishly, but was really tired, and his voice was full of fatigue.
The girl gently touched his head and asked in a low voice, "How are your uncle and aunt?"
"It's much more stable than the previous two days. Mr. Zhao doesn't want to stay in Country A for long. He will arrange a flight next week to take my parents back to a private hospital in the city."
I have been working non-stop these past few days just to free up two days after the Mid-Autumn Festival so that I can go to Country A to see how my parents are doing.
"There's a problem over at Wushan, so this flight probably won't be back for over a month."
Meng Anran lowered her eyes and was silent for a moment. She took off the sandalwood bracelet from his wrist and played with it between her fingers. She replied softly, "Work is important. You should pay more attention to rest."
"Well, Qin's might need you to keep an eye on it. The new product is still in the research and development stage, and we just signed the contract with Ruiming. We're most afraid of something going wrong at this time."
"Okay, if there's anything I can help with, have Zhuo Cheng contact me."
"Oh, right." After finishing his work arrangements, Qin Mu sat up straight, thinking of something important. "There's some news about what you mentioned last time."
Meng Anran was stunned for half a second before realizing that Qin Mu was referring to the fact that Lu Qingcheng had inexplicably come to the Lu family.
She had seen with her own eyes the paternity test that Lu Qingcheng brought to the Lu family, and knew which hospital issued it, so she was not like a blind fly at a loss as to where to start.
Qin Mu said, "We checked the hospital surveillance footage and confirmed that it was Lu Qingcheng who personally delivered the sample, and that she was the one who went to retrieve it. Zhuo Cheng said he saw someone from Lu Heng at the hospital, and Lu Heng and Lu Yi should also be suspicious of Lu Qingcheng's intentions."
Meng Anran was thoughtful. "It's impossible for Lu Qingcheng to get Lu Zhong's hair sample, so... there must be someone helping her behind the scenes."
But she always felt strange. If the person behind the scenes really wanted to help Lu Qingcheng, wouldn’t it be better to just give Lu Qingcheng the identification results directly?
Why did Lu Qingcheng have to do the appraisal personally, appearing in the surveillance camera and leaving suspicious traces?
Moreover, if Lu Qingcheng is really the biological daughter of the Lu family, it is natural for her to return to the Lu family. The person behind the scenes has done a good thing and can use this to get close to the Lu family. Why hide it so deeply?
