Chapter 169 The Clown Was Actually Me



"Teacher Liu, is it convenient for you to leave now?"

At the entrance of the venue, Gu Fan couldn't help but ask.

Liu Qinyan smiled and said, "Don't worry, although my grandfather is a master, I am just a nobody, and I am only participating in this seminar in my personal capacity."

Gu Fan nodded: "That's fine then. Let's find a place to eat first."

Zhang Linfeng looked at him: "Aren't you going to pick up Mengmeng?"

Gu Fan shook his head: "She's accompanying her father to meet guests, and it's not convenient for me to disturb her."

He already knew that Jiang Yumeng was going to see the Fei family, but he trusted Jiang Yumeng and Lao Jiang completely, so he naturally wouldn't go along to join in the fun.

Zhang Linfeng nodded: "I see."

The three of them found a restaurant to eat and chatted for a while. Zhang Linfeng and Liu Qinyan did most of the talking, while Gu Fan ate his meal in silence.

The two talked about calligraphy. Zhang Linfeng was young and promising and knew a lot. He could always answer Liu Qinyan's questions.

These two... are such a perfect match!

Gu Fan couldn't help but smile as he thought about it.

"Um, will you be staying in the capital for a long time?"

Liu Qinyan suddenly asked.

Zhang Linfeng paused for a moment, then said, "I'll probably stay for a few days. My main purpose in coming to Beijing is to attend this seminar, and secondly, I want to take this opportunity to get to know and visit some senior figures. It will probably take some time."

Liu Qinyan nodded and then said, "By the way, my grandfather is also very accomplished in calligraphy. Shall I introduce you to him?"

Zhang Linfeng was taken aback, then became somewhat pleased: "That would be troublesome."

Liu Qinyan smiled demurely, her jade-like hand gently stroking her hair across her cheek.

Light bulb Gu Fan: ...

Okay, he really wants to go find Mengmeng!

After dinner, Gu Fan and Zhang Linfeng saw Liu Qinyan off.

Seeing that his senior brother's gaze lingered on him, Gu Fan couldn't help but say, "Senior brother, you can't even see the car lights anymore, focus on your work."

"Cough cough!"

Zhang Linfeng awkwardly looked away.

Gu Fan said with a half-smile, "So? Do you have feelings for that girl?"

Zhang Linfeng blushed and said, "What are you saying? We've only just met."

"Hey, isn't there a term called... oh right, love at first sight! You two are like that, aren't you?" Gu Fan teased.

"Come on, I'm just admiring their talent, how could I be so superficial?" Zhang Linfeng retorted stubbornly.

Gu Fan smiled and said, "If Teacher Liu were ugly and her calligraphy wasn't that good, would you still appreciate her, Senior Brother?"

Zhang Linfeng glared at him: "What nonsense are you talking about? If you have nothing better to do, you should study calligraphy properly."

Gu Fan shrugged: "I'm busy dating."

"..."

Zhang Linfeng took a taxi back to the hotel, while Gu Fan, after thinking for a moment, took a taxi back to the Jiang family home.

Go home and wait for your wife!

………

On the other side, in the shade of the golf course, Jiang Yumeng was typing on her phone, her face occasionally flushed and she would smile – she was clearly in the late stages of being in love.

"You filthy brother! You're making dirty jokes again!"

Just then, a man walked over. From about twenty meters away, he noticed the girl and a smile appeared on his lips.

"Mengmeng, why are you here all alone?"

The man was none other than Fei Xuan, the young master of the Fei family.

He was also friends with Jiang Yumeng when they were young, and later returned from studying abroad.

When Jiang Yumeng saw the other person, her smile faded considerably, and she said in a nonchalant tone, "It's too sunny over there, so I came over to cool off."

Fei Xuan didn't care about Jiang Yumeng's attitude. After all, he had been abroad for many years. No matter how close they were when they were young, they were practically strangers now.

He laughed and said, "We didn't have a chance to chat when we ate together before. By the way, you've become a lot more beautiful."

Jiang Yumeng nodded slightly: "Thank you."

Fei Xuan's eyes darkened slightly, and he said in a magnetic voice, "Mengmeng, I remember you used to call me Brother Xuan when you were little."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yumeng frowned slightly: "That was when we were little, we didn't know any better."

When she saw Fei Xuan again, she did feel a little emotional, but it wasn't excitement, but curiosity.

Fei Xuan has changed a lot over the years. He's also handsome, but he's not as handsome as her senior!

Jiang Yumeng only regarded Fei Xuan as a friend's son.

Fei Xuan felt somewhat disappointed to see Jiang Yumeng being so unfamiliar with him.

Actually, he had almost forgotten about this "childhood sweetheart" before. If he hadn't met her again and discovered that the little girl from before had grown into such a beautiful young woman, he probably wouldn't have cared about her at all.

The moment Fei Xuan saw Jiang Yumeng, he admitted that he was smitten. Jiang Yumeng was so beautiful, and she evoked a protective instinct in him!

So, he decided to give it a try.

"Although we haven't seen each other for more than ten years, I still remember how happy you were when you were a child, following behind me."

Jiang Yumeng's face fell: "I don't remember. Oh, don't talk about it anymore. Let bygones be bygones!"

Fei Xuan's face stiffened.

"Mengmeng, your coldness is really heartbreaking."

Jiang Yumeng remained calm and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, that's just my personality."

Just then, a bell rang.

When Jiang Yumeng looked down and saw that it was a video call invitation from Gu Fan, her face immediately lit up with surprise.

That gentle, spring-like smile stunned Fei Xuan.

Why is she smiling so happily?

Is it because of the person who called?

Jiang Yumeng had already answered the phone.

Gu Fan's face appeared in the video.

"Brother, are we home yet?"

Jiang Yumeng said in a sweet voice.

elder brother?

Does Jiang Yumeng have an older brother?

Fei Xuan looked puzzled.

Gu Fan has already returned to the Jiang family. He called to ask when they would be going back.

"Sister Lin asked me to ask you and Uncle Jiang when they'll be back. Dinner will be ready soon."

"Okay! I'll tell Dad later, I guess we'll be going back soon."

"That's good."

As the two continued their conversation, Fei Xuan's expression gradually became more and more interesting.

He discovered that the boy who was video chatting with Jiang Yumeng was not Jiang Yumeng's "brother," and the two were clearly in a romantic relationship!

That's my lover!

Does Jiang Yumeng have a boyfriend?

Fei Xuan's mood visibly shifted from sunny to stormy.

Jiang Yumeng didn't try to hide her feelings from Fei Xuan, but when Gu Fan teased her, she turned her back to Fei Xuan before daring to show any expression on her face.

puff!

Fei Xuan felt as if he had been shot in the heart.

The Joker was himself!

I can't take it anymore!
