The two elders of the Ming family both knew that today was Lou Xiaoyun’s death anniversary.
Hearing Madam Ming mention this, Mr. Ming tutted his words and bumped her arm: "Don't mention that."
Old Master Ming called out to Yan Meng, "Since you're here, let's have lunch together. Xiao Shan specially asked the kitchen to prepare food that suits your taste."
As he said that, Mr. Ming pulled Yan Meng towards the restaurant.
Yan Mengze looked back at me with an intriguing expression.
I quickly lowered my head to avoid being misunderstood.
Ever since Yan Meng entered the room, Tang Jun has been standing next to Mingsi.
But Yan Meng didn't even look at her, which was a pity for Tang Jun's gorgeous dress.
During the meal, Tang Jun kept his eyes on Yan Meng and couldn't help but talk to Yan Meng.
"Yan Meng, why didn't you tell me you were going back to Haicheng? I could have accompanied you around Haicheng."
Yan Meng didn't look up at her. There was a polite smile on his face, and there was a sense of distance in his words.
"I came to Haicheng just to pay my respects to my mother. I don't have the heart to wander around."
Yan Meng's indifferent answer made Tang Jun feel a little disappointed. She could only whisper "Oh" to save face: "That's right, you are so busy with work."
Yan Meng ignored her and suddenly turned to look at me: "Xiao Shan, you haven't been to Haicheng very often, right? Is there any place you want to go? I can take you there."
My hand holding the chopsticks paused, and the smile on my lips froze.
I seriously suspect Yan Meng did it on purpose.
He just rejected Tang Jun, and now he is offering to take me out. This is clearly an attempt to create hatred for me!
Looking at Tang Jun again, I saw that her gaze towards me was indeed very passionate.
I gave an awkward smile and evaded the question, "I'm a lazy person. I don't like shopping, and I don't have any place I want to go."
Tang Jun continued to talk to Yan Meng without giving up. Every time, Yan Meng gave a brief response, and then changed the subject again and started chatting with me.
I am completely speechless about Yan Meng. He could have just rejected Tang Jun directly. Why did he have to let Tang Jun misunderstand him again and again?
As a result, there was a sense of tension between Tang Jun and me, and I just felt irritated.
At this moment, Mingyuan suddenly laughed out loud, as if he could no longer hold it in.
Such behavior was considered very impolite by Mr. Ming. He scowled and rebuked Mingyuan: "Look at you, you're already an adult, but you don't have any manners at all. What could make you laugh so happily?"
Mingyuan did not fade the smile on his face. He looked at Yan Meng meaningfully, but did not explain to Old Master Ming.
He perfunctorily said, "I just suddenly thought of something funny. It's okay, you guys take your time eating. I'm full and will go feed my little cutie now."
Seeing Mingyuan leave the table midway, Mr. Ming's face darkened even more, and he said unhappily, "What kind of a look is this!"
Mr. Ming turned around and blamed Mrs. Ming, "It's all because of you being too indulgent. Look at what he's become."
The atmosphere at the dinner table was a little tense, and Yan Meng quickly smiled to alleviate the situation: "I've heard that Uncle Mingyuan has been different from ordinary people since he was a child. He has always been outstanding and has a photographic memory. A genius like him naturally has an eccentric personality."
Yan Meng's words eased the awkwardness of the situation. He then changed the subject and talked about Haicheng's business, successfully making Mr. Ming put aside the unpleasantness just now.
I wasn't too interested in what they said about business, but I forced myself to listen because it's always good to learn more.
