Chapter 275 Thanksgiving Banquet



Yuan Mengge looked at his living room, which was full of more than a dozen people.

As soon as she entered, more than a dozen pairs of eyes stared intently at her.

Yuan Mengge: "..."

A middle-aged woman immediately stood up, smiling as she greeted her, saying, "Come, come, you've arrived! Are you Ah Ping? Come in and sit down."

Another middle-aged man also stood up, first leading her to an empty seat on the sofa, saying, "Please sit down."

Then she called out to Wu Bohao behind her, "Ah Hao, come in and pour Ah Ping a cup of tea."

Yuan Mengge sat down and looked at the middle-aged man, saying, "Uncle, you don't need to be so polite."

The middle-aged man said, "I am Ahao's father, and this is Ahao's mother. You can call us uncle and aunt."

Yuan Mengge greeted the middle-aged woman, "Hello, Auntie."

The middle-aged man then introduced the other people in the room: "This is Ah Hao's father, this is Ah Hao's grandmother, this is his uncle, this is Ah Hao's uncle... This is Uncle Huang... This is Uncle Liu..."

Yuan Mengge looked at these people with an embarrassed expression: "..."

She knew this wasn't an ordinary meal; with so many people, what were they planning to do here?

Wu Bohao washed the teacup in front of so many people, poured a cup of tea, and then brought it to her.

Looking at the teacup that was placed directly in front of her, Yuan Mengge glanced at him, then turned to look at the others.

Mr. Wu said, "Please accept this cup of tea; it's what he should offer you."

Because Wu Bohao owed her a debt of gratitude, it was only right that he offer her a cup of tea in thanks.

Yuan Mengge looked at Hao Bohao's outstretched hand. If she didn't take it, he would probably keep holding it up like that forever.

She took the tea from Wu Bohao, and only then did Wu Bohao stand up.

Everyone else stared at her with curiosity.

Yuan Mengge glanced at the group of people. Wu Bohao's parents, uncles, fathers-in-law and grandmothers were one thing, but who were these Uncle Liu and Uncle Huang?

And then there's a whole bunch of other aunties and uncles...

"We invited you here today to have a meal. You helped us save Ah Hao, and we should all thank you properly," Wu's mother said to Yuan Mengge with a smile.

Yuan Mengge really wanted to ask them how they knew they were the ones who saved them, and why they were so sure.

Judging from the demeanor of these two Uncle Huangs and Uncle Lius, they seem to be people in high positions; their posture and the way they drink tea are different from ordinary people.

She looked at Wu's mother and replied, "Auntie, you're too kind. Actually, I didn't do anything..."

Upon hearing this, Wu's mother glanced at Wu's father with some surprise. She didn't know much, only that this female classmate had saved Wu Bohao.

Grandpa Wu then said, "Let's not talk about that now. The food is ready. Let's eat first. We can talk about it after we finish eating."

“Yes, yes, let’s go eat first,” Wu Bohao said at this moment.

His whole family spent the morning preparing a table full of food, just waiting to entertain her.

Yuan Mengge checked the time; it was only nine in the morning. Was this breakfast or lunch?

When Yuan Mengge sat down at the Wu family's dining table, she looked at the table full of delicious food and thought, "Why not eat it?"

So they ate their fill.

During the meal, the Wu family did not mention Yuan Mengge's rescue again.

Instead, they chatted about this and that, about other things.

One minute they'd ask Yuan Mengge how she was doing at school, the next they'd ask about her grades.

When there are two classmates, comparisons will inevitably occur.

Then Wu Bohao was criticized for not studying properly.

Yuan Mengge instantly transformed into the good kid next door.

She calmly ate her meal and watched as Wu Bohao, looking pale and being subjected to all sorts of criticisms.

The others simply smiled and looked at Yuan Mengge without saying anything.

After finishing her meal, Yuan Mengge sat down and drank coconut water.

They bought more than a dozen coconuts, cut three of them, poured all the water into a kettle, and then scooped out the coconut meat, put it on a plate, and served it on the table.

Yuan Mengge drank coconut water and ate coconut meat.

In the end, nothing was heard from the Wu family.

As he was leaving, Wu Bohao's uncle said, "Let me take you home."

Then they drove Yuan Mengge back home.

Yuan Mengge did not refuse the other party's kindness.

After she left the Wu family, in the Wu family study, Wu's grandfather and father, along with Uncle Liu and Uncle Huang, who had just been introduced to Yuan Mengge, sat in a circle and started discussing.

What do you guys think?

"This girl is very wary."

"According to Ah Hao, she didn't want to come here before, but we kept bothering her until she finally came."

"Judging from her behavior, she's not like a typical student. Although she's trying to hide it, she can't. The look in her eyes is very mature, like that of an adult, not like something someone her age should have."

“I agree with that, and she kept diverting our conversation. She did it on purpose.”

Just now at the dinner table, they asked Yuan Mengge, intentionally or unintentionally, whether she had participated in any special activities or what her future dreams were.

She picked them all out.

They simply avoid answering these questions directly, using ambiguous responses to brush them off.

The little girl was quite perceptive; she seemed to have already guessed the true meaning of this meal.

"Observe them a little longer, and send someone to their school."

"Is it necessary to send someone to the school to observe her?"

"Don't you think it's a waste not to recruit such talent? We need top-notch female soldiers right now. Over the years, we've seen female soldiers from other military regions winning awards with such heroic bearing. Aren't you envious?"

"..."

On the other side, Yuan Mengge rode on Wu Bohao's uncle's motorcycle back to school.

On the way, Wu Bohao's uncle asked her what she thought of the police profession.

Yuan Mengge stated directly, "I will not consider this at all in the future... I prefer to do jobs that pay well."

It was blocked.

This left Wu Bohao's uncle embarrassed and trying to cover up his intentions.

After all, the job of a police officer is not very well paid, the work is tiring and annoying, and they are also subject to various forms of moral coercion.

She said she liked high-paying jobs, which was obviously just a way of placating him.

After all, she's not short of money now.

After returning to school, she discovered that a new physical education teacher had arrived in less than a week.

The physical education teacher from last time has been transferred to a rural area because of his joint responsibility.

After all, someone has to take responsibility for the kidnapping of a busload of students.

And so the unfortunate PE teacher became the scapegoat.

The new PE teacher wasn't important; what was important was the way he kept secretly watching her, which annoyed Yuan Mengge.

What are they doing? Observing themselves? Monitoring them?
