Chapter 94 Extra (1)
As an outstanding young dance artist, Meng Youyou has made many achievements over the years.
A while ago, Jiang Guo was invited to go abroad to walk in a top brand's fashion show. Meng Youyou had nothing to do, so she accompanied her. With the mentality of "since she's already here", she casually participated in an international dance competition and easily won the championship trophy.
Later, many dance theaters invited Meng Youyou to stay and become the principal dancer of the top international dance troupe, but she refused them all.
Like her sister, she was determined to return home.
In recent years, the modeling company founded by Jiang Guo and Liang Sen has been developing better and better. Many well-known models in China have come from this company.
At this time, Jiang Guo and Meng Youyou got off the plane and Meng Jinyu came to pick them up.
The mother and her two daughters sat in the carriage. There was no age gap between them at all. They chatted away like three little sisters.
Many times, Jiang Guo felt strange.
Until now, she still remembers her childhood self and had almost nothing to say to Meng Jinyu.
At that time, her mother worked hard to do housework, and all she talked about was how to live economically. She would watch her study every day, put her books on the table, and close the door to prevent her from coming out.
When he was a child, Jiang Guo couldn't understand Meng Jinyu. Only when he grew up did he realize that his mother was doing it for the good of the family and for the good of them, the children.
After growing up, Jiang Guo realized that there was nothing wrong with Meng Jinyu back then, but if she had to compare, she still felt that her current mother was better.
Today’s mothers have a very regular life, shunting between the company and home. No matter what time, she would never save money on herself. She was extremely exquisite, and was more particular about her clothes, dressing, and food than those young people. Every year, she sets aside a few months to travel. She wants to visit places she did not visit when she was young.
Meng Jinyu and Gu Zhimin have a very good relationship. Except when they go out to work, they usually stay together. At the beginning of this year, they bought a small courtyard and decorated it into a large study room with two desks. The couple stays in the study room whenever they have time, or works together. Even if they are not busy at work, they will stay together to read books.
"Mom, I remember you weren't like this before." Jiang Guo said.
Meng Jinyu smiled and said, "When people reach a certain age, they suddenly come to their senses."
In fact, her change was not due to a sudden enlightenment.
The awakening of consciousness is equivalent to rebirth. At the age of thirty, she can remember everything that happened in her previous life. For her, it is really lucky.
Looking back over the past decade, Meng Jinyu felt like she was in a dream.
It's a sweet dream.
After the divorce, Meng Jinyu lived in a small shabby house with Youyou. Her two older children were not with her, and her youngest son was lost. At that time, she was also confused.
What future prospects does an illiterate person have who only has a hundred yuan?
Fortunately, Meng Jinyu didn't think too far ahead.
She only focused on every step in front of her. Every time she took a small step, she jumped for joy. Just like that, she slowly walked further and further away.
Now, the children have grown up and are living well. Her business is very big. The two words "Yu Yu" have become a well-known Chinese brand and are now going global.
As for love, Meng Jinyu had never thought in the past that she would meet someone who shared the same feelings as her. Even when she got her marriage certificate with Gu Zhimin, she still had a try-it-out attitude and did not think that their relationship would be very good.
But who would have known that after getting married, they would have a better understanding of each other. Even when they were the only two at home, they would not feel bored with each other. The daily necessities of life, such as rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, could make them enjoy themselves.
Jiang Guo said she wanted to go back to the company, so Youyou accompanied her sister.
Meng Jinyu sent them there and went home first.
After getting out of the car, Meng Youyou took Jiang Guo's hand.
As soon as the two of them walked to the door of Jiang Guo's company, they saw a tall girl coming out.
Her appearance is not the standard exquisite beauty in the traditional sense. She has single eyelids, long and thin eyes, plain facial features and a big mouth, but her whole body exudes a charm that makes people unconsciously want to look at her.
As she walked out, she walked very quickly and with a breeze, but if you looked closely, you could see that her eyes were not firm. Meng Youyou is not professional, but she can see that the model sister’s eyes look like that of a newcomer.
Are you new here?
Meng Youyou was thinking this when she suddenly saw Qian Qian raise her head and look at Jiang Guo.
"Sister Jiang Guo." Qian Qian's eyes lit up when she saw Jiang Guo. She trotted over and said with a smile, "I have received shows from several brands. They are all newly emerged brands. Not many people know about them yet. However, being able to receive a show is already something worth being happy about."
"Really?" Jiang Guo also smiled, "Keep working hard. I just saw that your manners are much better than before."
"I learned it from Sister Jiang Guo." Qian Qian smiled sheepishly. "You said, if you want to act like everyone owes me two thousand yuan, then of course you have to look bad."
As soon as she finished speaking, Meng Youyou laughed.
This model sister is quite cute.
"This is--" Qian Qian looked at Youyou's face.
The girl is in her early twenties, with fair skin, a pair of watery eyes, and a smile on her lips, looking delicate and bright.
"This is my sister." Jiang Guo said.
"Sister?" Qian Qian looked at Jiang Guo, then at Youyou, and said with a smile, "She really looks a bit like him! I originally thought that this was the new model signed by Jiang Guo."
Meng Youyou tried to straighten her back, looked up and said, "I'm too short to be a model."
Jiang Guo couldn't help but burst out laughing.
After Qian Qian turned around and left, Meng Youyou asked, "Sister, I've never seen this model before."
"Didn't we go back to Jiangcheng last year? She is the girl I met in Fenglin Village. When she saw me, she recognized me and asked me if I could give her a chance to try catwalk."
Meng Youyou was stunned for a moment: "Is she the girl who was digging corn in the field at that time?"
It’s hard to imagine that she has changed so much in less than a year. I can’t recognize her at all.
"At that time, she just had a dream and wanted to make it come true. But as long as people have a dream and take the first step, it is difficult to stop." Jiang Guo smiled, "Although I didn't know her before, when I saw her, I couldn't help but think of myself as a child. At that time, I also wanted to be a model, but fortunately, everything went smoothly along the way. Now that I finally have the ability, I also want to try to help others."
Of course, Jiang Guo doesn’t help everyone he meets.
The girl I met in Fenglin Village at that time did have a great figure. Although her facial features were not beautiful, she had her own style after being packaged as a model.
"I didn't notice at the time that you two talked so much." Meng Youyou said.
It’s no wonder that Meng Youyou didn’t notice where Jiang Guo went at that time.
That day, she returned to Jiangcheng with her sister and brother. Not long after returning to Fenglin Village, Jiang Cheng also rushed back from the army because Old Mrs. Jiang had passed away.
In the last few years of his life, the old man's mind became increasingly confused, which placed a great burden on his family. Somehow, after her mind became confused, she always thought of Meng Jinyu.
In her opinion, Meng Jinyu was her best daughter-in-law. She took care of her meticulously, even better than her sons. Both Wang Xiaofen and Zhu Dali said that even though they could no longer remember what they had done, the old lady still felt guilty. After all, she still protected her youngest son after he had done those shameless things.
But regret or guilt are of no use.
The old lady died after falling.
Even though she could no longer recognize her most precious granddaughter in the last few years, Jiang Xiangjia would always remember how good her grandmother was to her.
After learning that her grandmother had passed away, she rushed back to the village, held Old Lady Jiang's cold hand, and her tears seemed to fall uncontrollably.
During those days, Meng Youyou stayed by Jiang Xiangjia's side to comfort her, and watched with her over and over again the photos of her when she was a child that Grandma Jiang took to the photo studio. She told her that even though her grandmother was gone, she still hoped she would be happy.
When the small green bean eyes grow into big green bean eyes, you should be as happy as you were in your childhood.
A few months after Mrs. Jiang’s funeral, Mrs. Li from Xiangyu Village did not survive the winter of that year.
Although Meng Jinyu had not met her for all these years, and just gave some money to the villagers in the same village and asked them to help take care of her, now that the person was gone, she still went back to her hometown.
The villagers of Xiangyu Village looked at the current appearance of Ruan Jinguo and Meng Jinyu, the brother and sister, and praised them for their promising future. At the same time, they also lamented that Mrs. Li was not blessed.
But she is unlucky, who can she blame? As early as the day she helped Ruan Wenwen knock Meng Jinyu unconscious and locked her in the house more than ten years ago, she should have guessed that her later years would be extremely miserable.
"Youyou, have you ever thought about starting a company like me?" Jiang Guo interrupted his sister's thoughts.
"Actually, I've been thinking about this recently." Meng Youyou said with a smile, "Sister, I want to open a dance school."
She wants to open a dance school so that more children who love dancing can join in.
The children can be girls or boys, they can have no talent, or be chubby like she was when she was a child. As long as they truly love dancing, Meng Youyou welcomes them all.
Because she likes children.
"If you like children so much, why don't you give birth to one?" Jiang Guo's lips curled up slightly, and she joked, "You and Zhou Annian have confirmed your relationship, right?"
"Sister!" Meng Youyou's cheeks turned red unconsciously.
She and Zhou Annian have indeed confirmed their relationship, which happened last month.
As her mother said, the little girl has come to her senses, but she is still a little shy when talking about it.
Jiang Guo glanced at her with a smile: "Would you feel embarrassed in front of your own sister?"
Everyone can see how good Zhou Annian has been to Meng Youyou over the years.
Jiang Guo watched him appear in front of her sister all the time, clearing away all obstacles for her and protecting her as if he were protecting a child.
She was genuinely happy for her sister.
"I was arguing with Liang Sen last time, saying that An Nian is so nice and would never make you angry."
"Sister, so it was you who said that." Meng Youyou showed an embarrassment, "No wonder Zhou Annian told me last time that he felt my brother-in-law looked at him strangely, as if he wanted to eat him."
Jiang Guo curled her lips: "You don't behave as well as others, and you still want to eat people."
At this time, Liang Sen came out of the office.
He had broad shoulders and long legs. Even when standing in front of Jiang Guo, he was still a head taller than her, making her look petite.
Seeing his wife glaring at him with narrowed eyes, Liang Sen couldn't help but laugh and scratched his ears: "I was wondering why my ears were so itchy, it turns out someone was secretly saying bad things about me."
"I'm not saying it secretly, I'm saying it openly." Jiang Guo said confidently.
Meng Youyou watched her sister and brother-in-law start "fighting" again, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up.
Jiang Guo and Liang Sen have never had a peaceful relationship over the years, but after all the quarrels, she can feel that no matter what the time, her brother-in-law always gives in to her sister.
I won’t mention anything else. Just the fact that he ignored his family’s opposition and insisted on following Jiang Guo back to China shows how much my brother-in-law sacrificed for this relationship.
You know, his home, the place where he grew up, is not here.
Meng Youyou smiled and said, "Didn't my brother-in-law say that beating is love and scolding is care?"
"I don't doubt it." Liang Sen held Jiang Guo's hand and said cheerfully, "Although your sister is always mean to me, why isn't she mean to others? In the final analysis, she is mean to me because she loves me."
"You are so shameless." Jiang Guo tried to push him away with her hands, but the man was so muscular that his chest felt like a solid wall and she couldn't push him away. She laughed in anger and punched him even harder.
This time Liang Sen stopped hiding and surrendered immediately, gently grabbing her wrist: "Be careful, you can't be angry now, and you can't use force."
Meng Youyou blinked: "Is my sister pregnant?"
Jiang Guo's ears turned red: "I found out before the fashion show. I was afraid that if I told anyone, my mom wouldn't let me go..."
Meng Youyou was startled for a moment, then immediately jumped up happily.
But after jumping in front of Jiang Guo, she immediately slowed down her movements and carefully touched her sister's still flat belly: "I'm going to be an aunt!"
…
When Meng Jinyu returned home, Mr. Gu was watching TV.
Ever since Old Lady Jiang and Old Lady Li passed away one after another, she became more and more worried about the old man's health and insisted on having him move into her home.
Mr. Gu refused several times, but in the end he couldn't do anything about his daughter-in-law.
Although it was called moving, it wasn't actually such a big deal. He used to live in the courtyard next door and would come over for meals, so he simply packed a few clothes and moved in.
"Dad, I'm back."
Mr. Gu put down the remote control and looked behind his daughter-in-law: "Didn't our Youyou come back with you?"
Meng Jinyu took off her coat and hung it up, then said with a smile, "Youyou went to her sister's company. I guess she'll go out to eat with her sister tonight."
Mr. Gu looked disappointed.
Strangely enough, the old man and Youyou seemed to have a special bond. Even though she was not his biological granddaughter, the old man treated this child no differently than his own granddaughter. Let’s not talk about anything else, just take the housing reform policy that came out a few years ago as an example. At that time, the old man and Gu Zhimin could buy the house in Jiangcheng at a low price. There were two houses in total. The old man gave one to Gu Qi, and insisted on giving the remaining one to Meng Youyou.
Meng Youyou was reluctant at first, but the old man coaxed her into accompanying him to Jiangcheng to have a look. When they arrived, he took out his granddaughter's ID card and wrote her name on the house certificate.
After returning, Grandpa Gu still kept it to himself, worried that his other grandchildren would be unhappy. But in fact, no matter whether it is Jiang Cheng, Jiang Guo or Meng Shan, these children now have good living conditions. Although they tease their grandfather for being partial, they don't take it to heart.
"Jinyu, go and rest for a while. Zhimin is already in the kitchen cooking."
Only then did Meng Jinyu notice the clanging sounds coming from the kitchen.
Gu Zhimin used to be in the army and was busy with work, so he didn't know how to cook. It was even after they got married that he pestered Meng Jinyu to teach him, and he managed to learn all of her specialty dishes.
Now that he has retired and has less work to do, he goes into the kitchen from time to time to show off his skills.
In this way, Meng Jinyu can have a good rest.
Meng Jinyu did not go to rest, but went to the kitchen to help.
"Is this how you cook this crucian carp soup?"
"It seems that the milky white soup has not been made, but it still smells delicious."
"What if it doesn't taste good? The kids are not here today, just the two of us and dad..."
"If it doesn't taste good, I'll just have to eat it with a frown on my face. But it's not that bad. After all, you've made so many specialties now. The dish of stir-fried pork with garlic sprouts back then was really bad."
"Okay! When it was just out of the pot, you tasted it and said it was delicious! I guess you did it on purpose, just wanting me to practice more so that I can cook it for you."
"How can we discourage the enthusiasm of kitchen novices?"
Old Master Gu sat in the rocking chair in the living room, listening to the conversation between his son and daughter-in-law, his face full of wrinkles as he smiled.
After all these years of marriage, they have never had a quarrel. People always say that original couples are good and couples who get married later in life won’t last long, but the old man doesn’t think so at all. It is normal to make the wrong choice when getting married for the first time because you have no experience. But the second time, if the two people are in tune with each other, there are still many decades of life ahead of them.
Now thinking back to when he got angry because of Liu Anqin, Mr. Gu felt extremely relieved. At the beginning, the only thing he was worried about was his grandson. Fortunately, the child had his father, grandfather, Aunt Jin Yu, and a group of brothers and sisters to accompany him as he grew up, and he had long since let go of his obsession.
The entire Gu family, three generations, have put this matter behind them.
However, although the Gu family let go of their obsession, Liu Anqin couldn't.
At this moment, she stood at the door of their house with her suitcase and took a deep breath.
She is divorced.
My marriage with Zhou Xin, which lasted for more than ten years, was almost always bitter, with no sweet moments, except for the time when he pursued me in the beginning.
She regretted it and wanted to turn back, but unfortunately Gu Zhimin didn't want to, so Liu Anqin had no choice but to live an honest life in the Zhou family. After losing her job, she had to take care of her parents-in-law and children every day, and was very busy. But even so, after Zhou Xin had someone else, her parents-in-law and children still did not stand by her.
In the past few years, there have been quarrels at home every day. Liu Anqin was beaten and had a broken nose and was hospitalized. After returning home, she chose to forgive him and wanted to live a good life with him.
But who knew that Zhou Xin didn't want to continue anymore.
Zhou Xin filed for divorce, and Liu Anqin wanted money, a house, and a child, but in the end she got nothing.
The child even said that she was a bad woman who gave up her first child without looking back, but now refused to let go, just trying to use her to get more benefits.
Liu Anqin was so angry that she almost fainted. When facing this little son who had made her cry countless times, she couldn't help but think of Gu Qi's appearance as a child.
When Gu Qi was a child, he was well-behaved and sensible, making people worry-free. When he knew that she was sad, he became unspeakably quiet and gently wiped her tears with a handkerchief.
It’s a pity that she didn’t cherish it.
After the divorce, Liu Anqin decided to go live with her younger brother, but her brother also had a family, and she was afraid that even if she went there, she would not be welcome. But who else can she rely on besides her family?
Her brother lived in Beijing, so Liu Anqin bought a train ticket and decided to go there shamelessly.
But as soon as she got off the train, she suddenly missed Gu Zhimin more and more.
So she decided to meet Gu Zhimin.
The comrades in the Public Security Department were very cautious and unwilling to tell her where Gu Zhimin lived, so she made many inquiries and finally found his residence.
In fact, she could go to the Public Security Bureau to find him, but she didn't want to affect his work, nor did she want him to be laughed at by others.
“Knock knock knock—”
After a while, the door opened.
As soon as Liu Anqin saw Mr. Gu, she immediately called out "Dad" and glanced around the room.
She thought her house was big enough, but she didn't expect that Gu Zhimin and Meng Jinyu's house was even bigger, and it was in Jingshi... Houses in this area must be very expensive.
"Dad? What dad?" When Mr. Gu saw Liu Anqin, he widened his eyes and shrank back as if he had seen a ghost.
After he finished speaking, he subconsciously looked back at Meng Jinyu in the kitchen and said seriously, "Don't shout, or my daughter-in-law will misunderstand."
Liu Anqin: …
When she was still with Gu Zhimin in the past, the old man didn't protect her like this.
When Liu Anqin walked into the house, Meng Jinyu and Gu Zhimin had already heard the noise and came out of the kitchen.
She had imagined countless times how Gu Zhimin would feel when he saw her, whether he would be overwhelmed with emotions or feel as regretful as she did... She thought, no matter what, he would always feel a little sad in his heart, but who knew, he was not sad.
Gu Zhimin, like Old Man Gu, had an expression as if he had seen a ghost. Then, without even looking at her, he anxiously explained to Meng Jinyu.
"I don't know why she came..."
"We haven't met, talked on the phone, or written to each other..."
Meng Jinyu almost laughed when she heard this.
He looked as if he was facing a formidable enemy, just like the time when she went to see Ruan Wenwen and came out of the meeting room, when he had no way to defend himself but kept trying to make her believe.
After so many years, he still cares so much about her feelings.
Even more than before, I care.
"I know." Meng Jinyu said with a smile.
Gu Zhimin finally breathed a sigh of relief and said to Liu Anqin, "You are not welcome here, please leave."
Liu Anqin's eyes were moist.
Gu Zhimin is not as young as before, but he doesn't look his age. He still stands like a pine tree. Although there are a few more wrinkles on his face, he is not like Zhou Xin, who has gained weight and has a greasy face.
Meng Jinyu, who was beside him, was well-maintained and her temperament was much better than when they met in Fenglin Village.
Liu Anqin knew that Meng Jinyu had become successful now, but she never imagined that she would feel inferior when standing in front of her.
"I just came to see an old friend." Liu Anqin said awkwardly, "You don't have to rush to chase me away."
Meng Jinyu looked around and asked, "Is there an old friend of yours here?"
Mr. Gu and Gu Zhimin said in unison: "No."
Liu Anqin bit her lip and her face almost lost all color.
With red eyes, she said to Meng Jinyu, "I just wanted to see him. Can't I even sit down and have a cup of tea? You have a really tough temper. Yes, I knew you were a tough guy more than ten or twenty years ago. Otherwise, why would you insist on divorcing your ex-husband? In that era, there were very few divorced people in the whole village."
Meng Jinyu laughed when she heard this: "Insisting on getting a divorce was the first correct decision I made."
Liu Anqin's body swayed, she knew that Meng Jinyu was mocking her.
Remarrying someone else not long after misunderstanding Gu Zhimin's sacrifice was the first wrong decision she made in her life.
One wrong step led to another, and after that, she gradually put herself in her current situation.
"Meng Jinyu, aren't you very capable? You laugh at me for relying on men, but what about you? Aren't you also unable to live without a man? It's just that you are luckier than me, and you found a man who is willing to accept your children!"
"It's troublesome to change the surnames of four children one after another, right? But fortunately, Zhimin works in the Public Security Bureau, so it won't be too difficult for you to change the surnames of so many children."
"You remarry, and I remarry too. We'll be the eldest, not to mention the second. In the end, don't we all want to find someone to rely on?"
Liu Anqin said all this with gritted teeth, and became more and more confident as she spoke.
However, all her confidence collapsed when she turned to look at a cabinet in the living room.
Meng Jinyu and Gu Zhimin specially asked an old carpenter to make that cabinet, which was used to store the honors received by the children.
The first thing Liu Anqin looked for was the award that Gu Qi had won, but as she looked, she unconsciously glanced at other awards.
There are military medals, a diamond crown from a modeling competition, a first prize certificate from a math competition, a trophy from a dance competition, and some certificates awarded by schools.
Jiang Cheng, Jiang Guo, Meng Shan, Meng Youyou...
These children did not change their surnames at all.
How is this possible?
When she first remarried, she said that she wanted Gu Qi to come home occasionally for a short stay. Her parents-in-law didn't even think about it and said that Gu Qi should take Zhou Xin's surname Zhou. Even Zhou Xin thought this was what he should do.
But why didn’t Mr. Gu and Gu Zhimin make such a request?
"She has remarried, and you still tolerate a house full of children from other families living with you!" Liu Anqin blurted out.
Gu Zhimin frowned slightly: "So what if they don't have my last name? In my heart, those children are my own children. In Gu Qi's heart, Jin Yu has long been his mother. A family is a family, and you can never understand this."
"Impossible, I am Xiaoqi's only mother!" Liu Anqin felt guilty saying this. How could she forget how cold her son's eyes were when he was performing surgery on her.
"Liu Anqin, I'll say this one last time, please leave. Gu Qi is preparing for a major surgery recently and is under a lot of pressure. I don't want you to appear in front of him."
Everyone looked at her impatiently.
"The crucian carp soup is about to burn." Gu Zhimin suddenly said and walked quickly to the kitchen.
Liu Anqin looked at his back in disbelief, then her eyes fell towards the kitchen.
He took the spatula and skillfully stirred the crucian carp soup in the pot. He also cut a handful of green onions and threw them in. His knife skills were amazing.
Gu Zhimin actually knows how to cook.
Moreover, it was specially made for Meng Jinyu.
Liu Anqin's heart was broken.
Even though she didn't come here to get anything, she still felt disappointed after realizing that he no longer had any feelings for her.
At this point, staying here would only make me more disliked.
Liu Anqin held back her tears and ran out.
As soon as she ran to the gate of the compound, she saw Meng Youyou and Jiang Guo.
Liu Anqin recognized Meng Youyou at first sight.
The delicate and pretty little girl has grown up and become stunning and unforgettable.
However, she didn't recognize herself and just thought of herself as a passerby who passed by her.
Liu Anqin froze in place and couldn't help but turn around.
"Grandpa! Mom! Uncle Gu! My sister is pregnant!" Meng Youyou's clear and pleasant voice came from the house.
"Pregnant? When did this happen? Such great news!"
"Guoguo, hurry up and sit down. Come sit here with grandpa. Don't get tired."
"I want to be..." Gu Zhimin hesitated.
Jiang Guo smiled and said, "You're going to be a grandfather!"
"Yes! I'm going to be a grandfather!" Gu Zhimin was very happy.
What a warm and happy family.
Liu Anqin lowered her eyes sadly, dragged her luggage and left the courtyard.
She is going to find her brother.
But after I go there, I will probably be living under someone else's roof.
Liu Anqin thought that she would never have a home again in this life.
…
Jiang Guo's pregnancy is great news for the whole family.
After hearing this, Gu Qi immediately asked Meng Youyou to bring her to their hospital and insisted on accompanying her to see the obstetrician and gynecologist. Director Wu of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department initially thought that Gu Qi was going to be a father before getting married, but when he took a closer look, he saw that the other party was actually a world-famous model and couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.
It was only after a long fuss that Director Wu realized that Jiang Guo was not Gu Qi's girlfriend, but his sister.
"You brothers and sisters have such a good relationship!" said Director Wu.
Meng Youyou felt relieved after handing Jiang Guo to Dr. Gu and Dr. Wu, and then ran to Huaqing University without stopping.
Meng Shan has been busy with research these days and has no time to go home, so he doesn't know about this yet.
The old guard at Huaqing University was very familiar with Youyou. When he saw her, he smiled and asked, "Are you here to see Professor Meng again?"
Meng Youyou greeted the old man and hurried to find her brother.
Coincidentally, not long after entering the campus, she saw Meng Shan coming out of the teaching building.
"Shanshan--" She just opened her mouth and immediately shut up.
Because Meng Youyou saw her brother being blocked by a female student.
"Professor Meng——"
"I only half understood the lesson just now. Can you explain it to me?"
The female student was fair and clean, with round eyes and a bright smile on her face.
Meng Shan paused: "What do you not understand?"
Xiang Qiaoqiao looked up at him and said with a smile, "I don't understand anything. Professor Meng, are you free now? Let's go to the cafeteria to eat, and you can explain the content of the get out of class to me, okay?"
Meng Shan was stunned for a moment and said, "You can come directly to my office."
"Can't we have dinner together?" Xiang Qiaoqiao pursed her lips, her clear eyes full of disappointment.
Meng Shan met her beautiful eyes and quickly looked away: "If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
"Wait a moment." Xiang Qiaoqiao reached out to tug at the corner of his clothes, and smiled again with full of energy, "Professor Meng, I will graduate soon. After graduation, can we have dinner together?"
She mustered up her courage, and although the smile on her face did not disappear at all, her heart was already beating like a drum.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Time passed slowly, but she still didn't get a reply, and her eyes dimmed.
The corners of Xiang Qiaoqiao's mouth felt a little sour, and slowly drooped, and she looked at him pitifully again.
"This is the first time I've been so bold." She said cautiously, "Professor Meng, can you please not refuse?"
"I--"
"Shanshan." Meng Youyou's clear voice sounded from behind.
Xiang Qiaoqiao listened to the voice and looked in the direction of Youyou. After staring at her for a moment, her ears suddenly turned red.
Then, she saw Youyou pulling Professor Meng's arm and saying that she wanted to tell him a good news.
Is this Professor Meng’s girlfriend?
Xiang Qiaoqiao immediately lowered her head in embarrassment and said, "Sorry to bother you."
She turned around and walked quickly towards the dormitory building. She walked so quickly that her head drooped and she gently rubbed the corners of her mouth, which were sore from smiling just now.
This is so stupid. Professor Meng is so outstanding, how could he not have a partner?
Xiang Qiaoqiao ran very fast.
Behind her, Meng Youyou's eyes followed her back.
"She is so cute, with a round face and rosy cheeks, just like a little apple," said Meng Youyou.
Xiang Qiaoqiao is the most talented student in this year's mathematics department, and also the most serious one.
Meng Shan saw her several times working on her homework after class, her eyes fixed on the book, her mind focused.
Gradually, he paid more attention to her. He knew that she was from Beijing, that she entered Huaqing University with the best grades in the class, and that her roommate always affectionately called her Little Apple...
Meng Shan looked at her back and laughed: "Her nickname is Little Apple."
Meng Youyou narrowed her eyes.
Just now, when she saw her brother's dilemma, she thought he didn't know how to refuse others, so she suddenly spoke up to give both of them a way out.
But who knew that her brother knew how to refuse.
People are unwilling to refuse.
Otherwise, how could he remember the other person's nickname? You know, two years ago, when she was about to graduate from college, her roommate Lin Man went to Huaqing University. But no matter how many times she went there, Meng Shan always acted as if she was too lazy to pay attention to her.
Lin Man tried to please Meng Youyou in the dormitory, and then created countless opportunities to meet Meng Shan. In the end, when he ignored her, she gave up.
"Shanshan, do you like her?" Meng Youyou asked.
"What do you like?" Meng Shan looked confused.
"Little Apple." Meng Youyou wanted to laugh, but was afraid that if she laughed too happily, her shy brother would be scared and swallow his words back.
"How is that possible!" Meng Shan said immediately.
"Okay." Meng Youyou shrugged. "The classmate just now must have misunderstood and thought I was your partner. But since you don't like her, let her misunderstand."
Meng Shan looked confused at first, but slowly he became serious again.
He pushed his thin-rimmed glasses, looked at Xiang Qiaoqiao's back as she ran away, and said, "Youyou, how about you explain it to her?"
Meng Youyou couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Meng Shan touched his nose, coughed lightly, put his hands in his pockets, and pretended not to care: "Just explain it casually, don't let people misunderstand."
"Since you ask me for help, you have to give me some benefits, right?" In the sunlight, Meng Youyou smiled, tilting her palm-sized face up.
"What's the benefit?"
“Otherwise—” Meng Youyou raised her eyebrows, looking playful, “Call me sister.”
"I've never yelled since I was a child..." Meng Shan said, "Don't you want to? I'll treat you to something delicious?"
"That's fine." Meng Youyou said, "By the way, I came here today to tell you a good news. Did you know? My sister is pregnant--"
"Sister!" Meng Shan made up his mind and went for it.
Meng Youyou laughed out loud when she heard this: “I’ll go right away!”
As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and trotted after Xiang Qiaoqiao's back.
Meng Shan stood there anxiously, and suddenly remembered what Youyou had not finished saying just now.
My sister is pregnant with——
What are you pregnant with?
His mind raced, and suddenly his eyes lit up.
My sister is pregnant!
Great, he’s going to be an uncle!
"Classmate! Classmate!" Meng Youyou ran out of breath and finally caught up with Xiang Qiaoqiao. She pulled her arm and said, "Wait a minute."
When Xiang Qiaoqiao turned around, she still looked depressed.
Seeing that the other person was Professor Meng's girlfriend, he lost his spirits even more, but still said politely: "Hello, what can I do for you?"
Xiang Qiaoqiao lowered her head.
This was the first time in her life that she fell in love with a boy.
I didn't expect that just when I wanted to confess my feelings,...
It turns out that Professor Meng has a girlfriend, and his girlfriend is so beautiful, with snow-white skin, dimples at the corners of her mouth when she smiles, and she dresses so fashionably.
Xiang Qiaoqiao sighed softly.
I can only wish them the best.
Meng Youyou took a deep breath and met her watery eyes. She felt that it was not easy for the little girl. Meng Shan was extremely smart in studying, but she was still not smart when it came to relationships.
"I am Shanshan's sister," she said.
Xiang Qiaoqiao was stunned.
"ah?"
"I am your Professor Meng's sister, her biological sister!" Meng Youyou leaned closer and pointed her slender finger at her face, "Look, do we look alike?"
Xiang Qiaoqiao's eyes widened.
It seems so!
Almost in an instant, her smile was brighter than a sunflower and her cheeks were rosy.
"I know, thank you!" Xiang Qiaoqiao's eyes were curved, the corners of her mouth were upturned, and her smile was sweeter than an apple.
Seeing her happy look, Meng Youyou couldn't help but laugh.
Oh, I thought Shanshan was devoted to study and research, but I didn’t expect that she could solve all her personal problems so quickly.
After returning home, she will tell her mother the good news.
This way, mom won't have anything to worry about anymore.
So many good things have happened at home recently!
