Chapter 488 Shu Lan Part 2 (Extra)

At the Wen family birthday banquet, Meng Tinglan attended with her mother in her best attire.

At the banquet, many wealthy ladies in the circle came over to say hello, and they all praised Meng's mother for her good fortune in giving birth to four sons, all of whom were very successful.

Meng's mother was accustomed to such compliments. She handled them with ease and felt very proud.

Meng Tinglan found the conversation a bit boring and stood aside in boredom.

Suddenly, a red figure caught his attention.

In the pavilion not far away, Qiao Shu was sitting with Wen Wan and several cousins, talking and laughing.

Meng Tinglan looked at her from a distance and never expected to see her again so soon.

As if she noticed his gaze, Qiao Shu turned her head and looked over, and the two of them met eyes.

Meng Tinglan quickly smiled at her.

As a result, Qiao Shu rolled her eyes, stood up, changed her position, and turned her back to him.

Meng Tinglan bit his lip awkwardly, his eyebrows drooping, feeling a little aggrieved.

Do you hate yourself so much?

But he really didn't mean it, and he apologized...

Meng's mother seemed to notice her son's low mood and asked curiously, "Tinglan, what's wrong with you?"

Meng Tinglan withdrew his gaze guiltily, but couldn't help but quietly pointed at Qiao Shu's back and asked, "Does Mom know her?"

Mother Meng looked in the direction he pointed and asked, "Are you talking about the girl in the red dress?"

Meng Tinglan: "Yes, it's her."

Mother Meng: "She seems to be Wen Xia's daughter, named Qiao Shu."

"Qiao Shu." Meng Tinglan silently repeated the name in his heart.

Mother Meng: "What's wrong? Do you know each other?"

Meng Tinglan shook his head and explained what happened yesterday.

Mother Meng smiled, not noticing her son's little trick: "I'll take you there to apologize later."

"Okay." Meng Tinglan nodded.

Before the end of the birthday banquet, Meng's mother took Meng Tinglan to find Qiao Shu.

As a result, I only saw Qiao Shu's mother, but not her.

Meng Tinglan felt a little disappointed, but he quickly comforted himself that there was still a long way to go.

A week later, Meng Tinglan returned home after finishing filming. He quickly changed into clean clothes, tidied himself up from head to toe, and then hurried out to the Wen family.

"You mean, Qiao Shu went abroad?"

Outside the Wen family's gate, Meng Tinglan was struck by lightning.

The housekeeper of the Wen family handed him the paper bag and said gently, "Miss Qiao Shu originally came back to the country to celebrate the old lady's birthday. After the birthday banquet, of course she has to go home."

Meng Tinglan was a little dazed. He kept tightening his grip on the paper bag and said in a dry voice, "Then what about this..."

Housekeeper: "When Miss Qiao left, she asked me to deliver the clothes to the Meng family. Just as she was about to leave, Master Meng showed up."

Meng Tinglan bit her lip and managed a smile with some difficulty: "Thank you then."

After saying this, he turned and left in a daze.

The young man's back looks lonely. What he once thought was a long future ahead of him turned out to be just his extravagant wish.

But fate is strange.

Meng Tinglan heard the name Qiao Shu again two years later when his good friend who was studying abroad mentioned it to him.

"Brother Meng, guess who I met abroad?"

Meng Tinglan was lying lazily on the sofa. The allergy symptoms on his face made him a little irritated, and his tone was a little impatient: "Stop keeping me in suspense. If you have something to say, just say it."

Friend: "Qiao Shu, the girl you knocked down and kicked."

Meng Tinglan suddenly opened his eyes and sat up: "Who are you talking about?"

Friend: "Qiao Shu, you won't forget it, right?"

"I haven't forgotten." Meng Tinglan finished speaking quickly, and then immediately asked nervously: "She...you...how did you meet her?"

Friend: "They are from the same school. But I heard that Miss Qiao has a rich background. Her mother married a foreigner for the second time and her family has a mine."

"And there are so many suitors, even the royal prince here is among them."

"But I heard that Miss Qiao has very high standards and doesn't like anyone. And her artistic achievements are very high. The leaders of your school personally invited her back to register as a professor."

"By the way, she seems to have agreed and is preparing to return home."

Meng Tinglan could no longer hear anything else and only knew one thing.

Qiao Shu is going back to China.

The next time he saw Qiao Shu was when he accompanied his sister Meng Zhiyi on a cruise.

Of course, no one knew that he came for Qiao Shu.

"Qiao Shu, long time no see."

On the cruise ship, Meng Tinglan deliberately avoided his sister and Shen Que and others, creating a chance encounter and finding Qiao Shu in the rest area of ​​the cruise ship.

Compared to two years ago, the girl has lost her youthfulness and become more charming and bright.

She was just the same as when we first met, liking to wear red dresses, and her big wavy hair made her exude a passionate aura.

Qiao Shu looked at Meng Tinglan, who was still full of youthful aura, and the memories that she had buried deep in her heart quickly broke through the cage and ran out.

"Long time no see." Her eyes flickered for a moment, and she forced herself to calm herself down, suppressing her increasingly rapid heartbeat.

But in Meng Tinglan's eyes, her evasive behavior seemed to show that she still hated herself.

Meng Tinglan felt a little uncomfortable.

In the past two years, he has devoted himself to his career, and his fame in the entertainment industry has grown, and he has become a popular young actor.

But there is always someone hidden in my heart.

I finally got the person to come back, but it’s going to end before it even starts?

Meng Tinglan asked himself if he was unwilling.

So, in the next few days, he tried his best to get close to Qiao Shu.

Qiao Shu also discovered that this person was finding various excuses to follow her.

From being awkward and embarrassed at first, she eventually got used to it.

But both of them had concerns in their hearts.

Meng Tinglan wasn't sure whether Qiao Shu had a good impression of him.

Qiao Shu was hindered by Meng Tinglan's identity as an artist and was hesitant, not knowing whether to take another step forward.

Until Meng Tinglan attended a brand press conference and was surrounded by a group of private fans.

His car was being chased by stalkers, forcing Meng Tinglan to find a random place to get out of the car and hide.

As a result, Qiao Shu was harassed by a pervert, who blocked her car and refused to let her go, and even shouted at her to get out.

Meng Tinglan didn't even think twice before going up to teach the other person a lesson.

As you can imagine, Meng Tinglan was injured without any doubt, and the face that he usually cared about was also covered with bruises.

After the police arrived and took the pervert away, Meng Tinglan followed her like a stray dog.

Qiao Shu had no choice but to take the man back to her apartment.

Seeing the bruises on his face, Qiao Shu had no choice but to take out the medical kit that had never been used and treat his facial injuries.

While disinfecting his wound, she whispered, "You are a star, how can you fight with him in the street? He is just a piece of trash, just wait for the police to come and take him away."

Meng Tinglan stared straight at the person in front of him, taking her in every inch of her.

Slowly said: "I can't care so much, I'm just worried that you will be scared."

Qiao Shu stopped moving her hands and looked up at him.

Meng Tinglan felt a little guilty when she looked at him, but he didn't want to hide the secrets in his heart anymore.

He simply threw the can down and said, "Qiao Shu, I like you. I have liked you ever since I bumped into you by accident."

"I thought I could take my time and get to know you slowly. But when I came back from work, I found out you were abroad."

"I thought at that time that I would never see you again in this life."

"I know that compared to those foreign men pursuing you, I am not the best. My family has some assets, but I am not cut out for business."

"But I just like you."

"If my love will bring you a burden, I will try my best to control myself in the future."

"Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person."

Meng Tinglan finished speaking in one breath, then lowered his eyelids even lower, not daring to look at the person in front of him.

"Are you done?" Qiao Shu asked.

Hearing her emotionless voice, Meng Tinglan's heart suddenly sank, and he replied in a hoarse voice, "That's it."

Qiao Shu: "Look up."

Meng Tinglan struggled for a few seconds, and finally raised his head.

The next second, the bright face in front of me suddenly approached and enlarged.

Immediately afterwards, there was a touch of softness and warmth on the lips.

Meng Tinglan's pupils trembled suddenly, and he looked at her straight.

Qiao Shu smiled happily and said, "How can I kiss you when your head is so low?"

Meng Tinglan's heartbeat quickened rapidly, and he was filled with the joy of his dream coming true, making him feel light and happy.

"Not enough!" he said, raised his hands to hold Qiao Shu's face and kissed her again.

On this day, the boy hugged his moon.
