"Your sacrifice is worthwhile. Keep going, you can only succeed, you can't fail. Bring the girl back as soon as possible! Mom is still young, you two have more children, Mom will help you take care of them! Son, Mom won't harm you. You'll regret not listening to your elders!" Zhang Yun didn't look at her son, turned around and went back to sleep.
Meng Chengguang... Hearing the old man's words, he suffered for decades!
In April, spring is in full bloom, everything is reviving, and it's a sunny Sunday.
Manman and Meng Chengguang met in the park.
She was wearing a white trench coat over a nude pink silk dress, her long, slightly wavy hair cascading over her shoulders. Her gentle and graceful demeanor gave off a sense of tranquility and peace.
Meng Chengguang's eyes lit up when he saw Manman. He had been mentally picturing Manman these past few days: thinning hair, perhaps even bald, tied in a low ponytail, wearing thick glasses, dressed in a black, white, and gray suit, with dark circles under her eyes, always pushing up her glasses when they met, looking older than his mother even though she was in her thirties...
When he came to meet them, he was thinking about how to make them dissatisfied with him and look down on him, so that he could go back and report his success.
"Hello, I'm Meng Chengguang. Are you Yu Manman?" Meng Chengguang's tone was uncertain. This was completely different from what he had expected, and he wondered if he had mistaken someone for someone else.
"Hello, I'm Yu Manman, nice to meet you." Manman replied with a smile, looking Meng Chengguang up and down. He was nearly 1.8 meters tall, with a well-proportioned figure and upright posture. He had a buzz cut, thick eyebrows and big eyes, wore a white shirt, black pants, and shiny black leather shoes. He looked clean, neat, and upright.
The two found a stone chair and sat down.
“You think differently from me,” Meng Chengguang said first.
Full of curiosity, "What kind of person do you imagine me to be?"
Meng Chengguang scratched his head sheepishly, "I thought researchers all had very little hair, looked weathered, and had facial expressions similar to the headmaster."
Manman chuckled, "You must be a bad student, and you're always being called to the dean's office, so you have such a big prejudice against him."
Meng Chengguang wasn't embarrassed at all. "I'm not good at studying, and I'm naughty. I always get scolded. I heard you were the top scorer in the college entrance examination. Which year were you in?"
...
Meng Chengguang's impression of Manman was completely overturned. She was completely different from what he had imagined. She was not the kind of rigid person who was oblivious to the world around her. On the contrary, Manman knew everything. She knew as much as he did about what was popular in the capital, what good food and drinks were available, and current events at home and abroad.
When it came to academic matters, Meng Chengguang seemed hesitant and didn't dare steer the conversation in that direction.
The two of them ate lunch together at noon.
After the meal, Manman told Meng Chengguang about her family situation.
“My family situation is complicated, and it won’t be of any help to my future family. On the contrary, it might cause some trouble,” Manman said frankly. She didn’t want to waste time.
Grandpa Meng didn't mention this situation. He didn't think it was a big deal. His grandson didn't even need to use his connections, let alone rely on in-laws.
"Actually, if it weren't for my grandfather's connections, I wouldn't have had the chance to meet you at all. If you want to find someone with my qualifications, there are plenty of options. I only got to go on this blind date with you because of my grandfather. Do you know what my mother said to me?"
