"Brother, we're all family, and I came here to congratulate you, and you won't let me in? Isn't that too much? Does the old man know?"
Meng Jianye couldn't maintain his usual fake smile. He hadn't been around the old man for a while, just waiting for this day. He felt that after so much time, the old man should have calmed down.
It was a big day, and he couldn't be kicked out again with Meng Hao. Now it looked like Meng Jianjun was completely unresponsive.
Meng Jianjun was not too surprised by the speed at which his younger brother changed his attitude. He had long known that he did not come here sincerely. Perhaps it was just because the Liu family fell into bankruptcy and he had no backing, and his work and life were difficult that he thought of coming to the Meng family.
"It doesn't matter whether the old man knows or not. I appreciate your kindness. Go back and don't come here again.
The Meng family does not welcome you."
"Why don't you welcome me? My last name is Meng! My name is Meng Jianye!"
He was a little emotional.
"If it weren't for your last name being Meng, you wouldn't even be able to keep your position as a team leader or director!"
Meng Jianjun looked at him with a sneer on his face. Instead of working hard to achieve real achievements, he had been thinking about taking shortcuts in recent years. The only reason he didn't fall to the grassroots level was because of the Meng family's face.
Meng Jianye was a little disappointed. He lost control of his emotions and went forward to grab Meng Jianjun's collar.
"What do you mean?"
"dad!"
Meng Hao stepped forward and pulled him. No matter how bad he was, he knew that he could not offend his uncle again.
Meng Jianye's eyes were bloodshot. This was the position he despised the most, but he had to rely on it to make a living, and it was actually given to him by others for the sake of the Meng family?
The guard wanted to separate them immediately, but Meng Jianjun raised his hand to signal him not to move.
He pinched Meng Jianye's wrist and applied force inch by inch. Meng Jianye felt his hand becoming weaker and weaker, and gradually loosened his grip on the collar.
Meng Jianjun reached out and straightened his clothes and the button of his uniform, his eyes still cold and stern: "Don't come here again, or none of you will be able to stay in Jing City."
He turned and walked away, with Meng Jianye cursing behind him but was stopped by Meng Hao and the guards.
Shen Jiayao stood aside from the beginning to the end, watching them jumping around like clowns, as if it had nothing to do with her.
A sneer appeared on her face. They were all idiots. Every time they got irritated and jumped around before they could even say a few words. They always ended up parting on bad terms.
She felt more and more that this was the fate of Meng Jianye and Meng Hao, father and son, and she couldn't help but worry about her own future.
With such a family, such a father and grandfather, what should she and her children do? She was unwilling to accept the status quo, but she felt powerless to change it.
Just to get out of the small village and get close to this family, she didn't expect it would lead to an abyss. Meng Hao beat and scolded her at every turn, and no one in the family liked her. Wu Zhaodi looked down on her, and Meng Ling and Meng Li ignored her. Although they didn't have much say in the family, they were slightly better off than her. After all, they were their biological daughters.
Meng Jianye, the head of the family, completely ignored her and watched coldly as the family tortured her.
Suddenly I felt a little sad that this was the end of my life.
"Just leave quickly, you hear me? Do you still need me to treat you?"
Meng Hao's voice reached her ears, and she came back to her senses to see that Meng Jianye had been dragged some distance away by Meng Hao. She reached out to wipe the moisture from the corners of her eyes and followed him.
Shen Jiayao would never admit defeat. She must live a good life! She would always win over Shen Qingli. She must live a better life than Shen Qingli!
must!
—————
When eating, Shen Qingli did not sit at the same table with her mother-in-law. She and Meng Xiao sat at the same table with his childhood friends and comrades-in-arms.
It happened that she was sitting next to Ye Mingchuan, with Meng Xiao and Fu Chen on her left, and Ye Mingchuan and Sang Yuan on her right. She couldn't quite recognize the other half of the people at the table. She might have just seen them before, but had never met them, and was not familiar with them and didn't know their names.
She hadn't expected to see Ye Mingchuan here. The fight that affected his promotion, and the time he took the bullet for Meng Xiao, were all unrelated. She wasn't stupid, and she seemed to sense that Ye Mingchuan seemed interested in her, or more accurately, in the original owner.
Ye Mingchuan existed deep in the original owner's memory. If she didn't think about it deliberately, she wouldn't be able to remember the details.
After all, they were both young at the time. Although they were childhood sweethearts and had been together for many years, Ye Mingchuan had been away for seven years. He was only seventeen years old when he left, and the original owner was only thirteen. They were both still children. Of course, the original owner didn't know or understand his thoughts.
But Shen Qingli is already an adult. Looking back on everything between them, she has realized that Ye Mingchuan may have secretly developed feelings for the original owner.
But the original owner has passed away, and he still hasn't let it go, making Shen Qingli a little unsure how to face him.
The two of them suddenly looked at each other, and Shen Qingli, who had recalled his memories, felt a little dazed.
Time flies like a white horse passing by, and many years have passed in the blink of an eye.
She smiled at Ye Mingchuan
"Brother Mingchuan is here too."
"Um."
"Thank you for Meng Xiao's matter."
"It's okay, it would be the same for anyone else."
The conversation ended here, and Shen Qingli suddenly didn't know how to continue.
She pursed her lips, lowered her head and said nothing more.
If Ye Mingchuan really still cares about the original owner, and the couple still owes Ye Mingchuan, then she really has no way to repay his kindness.
Ye Mingchuan also lowered his eyes, his expression the same as usual. In front of so many people, he couldn't show even a hint of abnormality, otherwise how would she deal with it?
Meng Xiao held her hand under the table and comforted her: "Don't worry so much."
He knew that his little girl was sensitive and prone to getting stuck in a rut, which would cause her psychological burden. Seeing her like this, he was sure she was overthinking again.
Fu Chen watched the interaction between the three people, tapping his fingertips on the table thoughtfully.
"Brother Fu, why aren't you eating?" Meng Xiao turned his head to look at him.
Fu Chen smiled, picked up the chopsticks on the table and shook them: "I'm eating."
The table did not have a turntable like those in later generations. Meng Xiao stretched out his arm and served Shen Qingli a bowl of soup.
Shen Qingli had the habit of drinking soup before meals. This bowl of soup was placed a little far away, and she was too embarrassed to stand up and reach for it in front of everyone, so she just picked at the peanuts in front of her. Meng Xiao stretched out his arm just right.
Shen Qingli's eyes sparkled, a shy smile playing on her lips. Meng Xiao, still under everyone's teasing gaze, picked up a spoon and blew on it to cool down the food.
Even though Ye Mingchuan wasn't looking at them, he was sitting too close. He saw their interaction from the corner of his eye, and his eyes dimmed. He also saw that she was only picking up peanuts, but he didn't have the right to care.
Someone came and stood behind him to serve the food, and placed it in front of him.
The little girl next to him hesitated for a moment, then reached out and took the celery in front of him.
His nose suddenly felt a little sore.
She also remembered that she was allergic to celery and never ate it.
She still remembers.
