Chapter 159: I want to show off whenever I get a chance
Meng Yushu sighed and rubbed his sister's long hair helplessly.
Although my sister has recognized the Meng family for five or six years, they have been busy with their careers in recent years and do not get together often, which has led to my sister still having a vague concept of family affection.
She grew up immersed in fame and fortune, and her outlook on life and values are all oriented towards interests, but she is not very sensitive to emotions.
I accepted the Meng family and my new family, and tried hard to contribute to this family, but I still didn't understand what family love really is.
"An Ran, we can't help you with big things, but at least we hope to do more for you with small things."
Meng Anran blinked her eyes, obviously not understanding. It was a small matter that could be solved with money, and she didn't need to get involved herself. Even if she did, it wouldn't help her with anything.
Isn't this a waste of time?
She still has to face the same workload, while her family, who could have rested in peace, wastes their time doing a lot of trivial and unimportant things.
What's the point?
Just for psychological comfort?
Meng Anran didn't say these words out loud, because she knew that if she did, it would make her family even more sad.
The banquet is tonight, and she doesn't want any trouble to arise at this critical moment.
Everyone was in a low mood during lunch. Except for Meng Yushu and Meng Chenghong, everyone else was a little reserved when talking to her.
Suddenly she was back to that summer, carrying a small backpack and taking a taxi to the small and crowded rental house, where she met her blood relatives for the first time.
They were just like they were now, helpless, reserved, and cautious, wanting to do something for her but afraid that she would be disgusted.
Meng Anran was very melancholy. She still didn't understand how to get along with her family correctly.
She tried to be good to them in her own way, helping them develop their careers and helping them live a better life.
But different values lead to many things that cannot be understood by each other.
So in addition to helping her family achieve their ambitions during these five years, to be honest, she was also escaping.
Everyone was busy and they had less time to meet, so she actually felt a little relieved.
But she also felt that it was rare for her relatives to treat her with care. She was reluctant to give up the feeling of being surrounded by love, and she couldn't bear to let her family get hurt again, so she still didn't leave this home.
Contradiction and entanglement, these were emotions she had never experienced before.
She didn't like this feeling, it was very troublesome.
So she avoids wasting energy on solving emotional problems that she is not familiar with.
The atmosphere at the dinner table was depressing. Meng Anran sighed secretly and took the initiative to find a topic: "Have you decided on the dresses for tonight's banquet? I'll have someone send the dresses over later. Do you want to choose one?"
Meng Zhen put down her chopsticks, took a sip of juice, and said in a calm voice, "I don't have a dress."
She was not angry, her tone was as calm as usual, she was just stating a fact.
I perform five or six surgeries a day, and by the end of the day, I'm so exhausted I just want to lie down in bed. If an emergency surgery comes up, I have to rush over immediately. On my rare day off, I just want to sleep in and not go out, so I don't have the energy to dress up.
Forget about a dress, she didn't even have a decent skirt.
Otherwise, when he went out with Xiao Han that day, he wouldn’t have worn his sister’s clothes.
Meng Anran looked at her with a smile and said, "Then pick a few more later. There will be a formal meeting soon."
You can choose a few less formal ones that you can wear out on a daily basis, and when you accompany Xiao Han to meet his uncle and aunt, you can also dress up a little more appropriately.
Meng Zhen thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.
Meng Rong asked, "An Ran, I don't need to choose, right? Can I just wear a normal suit?"
Meng Yushu smiled and said, "I don't need it either. I have plenty of clothes."
"I want!"
Meng Chenghong raised his hand to show his presence like crazy. He wore school uniform to school every day. His parents usually said that it was not suitable for him to wear expensive clothes as a junior high school student. Now he finally had the chance to pretend to be a rich second-generation!
Humph, his classmates usually don’t believe that the movie actor is his brother. His second sister is the chairman of a listed group. When they were shown a photo together, they said it was photoshopped.
He is going to record a video tonight to open those people's eyes!
Meng Yushu slapped his brother on the back of the head and said, "You have enough clothes. Don't try to show off every chance you get."
Meng Chenghong covered his head and said unconvincedly, "My clothes are very ordinary! Tonight is my second sister's birthday party, and it's full of business tycoons. I can't embarrass my second sister, right?"
Meng Yushu glanced at him helplessly after hearing what he said, "Then wear mine."
He likes to study dressing and endorses many big-name clothing brands, so his wardrobe is packed to the brim, and some of the clothes don't even have the tags removed.
My younger brother has grown up and taller, and his figure is almost the same as his, so we can share clothes.
"Can I choose whatever I want?" Meng Chenghong's eyes were full of anticipation. He had been eyeing his brother's wardrobe for a long time.
"It's up to you." There was a doting smile in Meng Yushu's eyes. He was always generous towards his younger brothers and sisters.
Not to mention letting my brother pick what he likes, it doesn’t matter even if he emptys his closet.
Meng Chenghong was so happy that he almost jumped up. He would try on a few more sets of clothes and take a few more photos to send to Qingli.
Who doesn’t want to look more handsome and tall in the eyes of his girlfriend?
Shortly after the meal, sales staff from a clothing brand store brought over a variety of dresses.
The sales staff all wore black suits and white gloves and looked extremely professional.
"Mr. An, these are all the new formal wear from our store this season. I hope they suit your taste."
"Thank you for your hard work." Meng Anran responded politely, sat down on the sofa, took the quarterly clothing album handed to her by the salesperson, and flipped through it page by page.
Meng Jia's figure is not much different from others, but she is not very tall, so she has to pay a lot of attention to the style of the dress she chooses.
"Mom, this cheongsam suits you very well."
Meng Zhen took out a red, heavily embroidered cheongsam from the shelf. The gold threads were casual and the collar had been newly modified. It was solemn and elegant without looking too old-fashioned.
"Another cheongsam? Mom already has a lot of cheongsams." Meng Yushu disagreed and took out another long green spun yarn skirt. The skirt was soft and flowing, and it gave off a gentle temperament just by looking at it. "This one is very beautiful. Mom will definitely be the most beautiful girl in it."
Su Wanman was embarrassed by the two children and waved her hands shyly, "Oh, I'm already old, how can I be so beautiful as to outshine all the other girls?"
"Try them all."
Meng Anran suddenly spoke, and several people turned their heads to see her sitting leisurely on the sofa with her legs crossed, her aura of a superior being undisguised.
The salesperson leaned over her and listened as she flipped through the pattern. "Give these 12, 17, 21, and 31 to my mother to try. Give 7, 9, 14, 32, and 33 to my sister to try."
Meng Yushu’s inner thoughts were: Wow, my sister is quite domineering!
