Mr. Meng spoke these words very calmly, as if he was talking about someone else's affairs.
Meng Jiao was stunned! The old man saw through their thoughts clearly. She didn't want to admit it, but she didn't know how to refute it.
Mr. Meng pulled Lan Guoer to his side, with a warm look in his deep eyes, he said to everyone present,
"I nearly lost my life in the countryside, but this girl saved me and allowed my old bones to survive and come back alive today!
The girl didn't care about my identity, she treated me as a family member! It was this girl's sincere treatment that gave me hope for life.
From today on, she is my granddaughter, Meng Dongsheng, and everything I have in the future will be left to this granddaughter!
I ask everyone present to bear witness here, and please take good care of my granddaughter in the future!"
As Mr. Meng spoke, he bowed deeply to everyone.
......Meng Jiao slumped on the ground. Every word that Old Man Meng said pierced her heart, making her so jealous that she wanted to go crazy!
He said that this woman was his granddaughter, that everything he had in the future would belong to her, and that he asked everyone to take good care of this woman who had no blood relationship with him...
Then what is she?
Looking at everyone's gazes, she felt that all her face had been trampled under the feet of this woman. She was the one who took away everything that should have belonged to her!
But she also knew that no matter how much she made a fuss, it would be useless! She glared at Lan Guoer fiercely, stood up and ran out crying.
Looking at her leaving figure, Mr. Meng sighed helplessly! Wasn't this her original choice?
Then, he turned his head, looked at the teacup on the table, and said solemnly:
"Girl, grandpa is thirsty."
......
Meng Jiao ran out of the door and bumped into Wang Yuzhen who was eavesdropping at the door.
Wang Yuzhen stopped her, "Why did you come out? If you run away like this, won't Lan Guoer get away with it? He's your own grandfather! Are you going to give up such a bright future so easily?"
Wang Yuzhen was really disappointed with her! Didn't she call her here early in the morning just to stop this recognition?
Ever since being kicked out of the family compound by Mr. Zhao, Wang Yuzhen has been holding a grudge!
Their family of five now lived in the family housing complex assigned to them by Zhao Yongjun's workplace. It was a nice three-bedroom apartment, but it was nowhere near as comfortable as living in the small Western-style building in this compound. And it was a bit of a face-saver to share!
Yesterday, she came back to visit Mr. Zhao and happened to hear that Mr. Meng wanted to recognize his relatives.
Everyone in the compound knew that Elder Meng had been transferred back not just to retire, but because his superiors had entrusted him with an important task! Elder Meng's current status was several levels higher than that of Elder Zhao in her family!
What a blessing it is to be his granddaughter! The future is so bright, just around the corner!
After some inquiries, I found out that the granddaughter that Mr. Meng wanted to recognize was actually the little granddaughter of the Su family - Lan Guoer!
Her heart was instantly unbalanced!
She was still resentful of the medicinal wine incident! She was even more resentful of the Su family for forcing her to move out of the compound. She was unwilling to let such a terrible fate fall on the head of a village girl like Lan Guoer!
She pondered over it for a long time before contacting the Meng family and bringing Meng Jiao into the compound this morning.
Who would have thought that this was such a hopeless case! Not only did he fail to bring Lan Guoer down, but he also let Elder Meng pave the way for her in public...
"He doesn't recognize me, what can I do? Should I kneel here and continue to make a fool of myself?" Meng Jiao felt that she had lost face in public today, and she didn't have a good face towards Wang Yuzhen who had called her here!
Wang Yuzhen didn't give up and continued to persuade, "Why are you so stubborn, kid? This recognition of relatives is not a one-sided thing. They say it takes two to tango!"
"If you can't persuade Mr. Meng, you can go find Lan Guo'er! As long as she doesn't recognize him, can Mr. Meng still force her? As long as you break off their relationship, Mr. Meng's property will still belong to you in the future!"
Wang Yuzhen's words popped into Meng Jiao's mind one by one. She rolled her eyes and had an idea in her mind.
Apart from this little episode, the entire recognition process went smoothly, and Lan Guoer officially became Mr. Meng's goddaughter.
Mirage.
It's already autumn, and Yu Lei wants to make some new clothes.
She thought about the more than 100 yuan that Su Gan and his wife had borrowed when they were in Kyoto and had never paid it back. She felt unhappy and called Su Gan back home in the evening.
"It's been over five months since I last went to Kyoto. When do you plan to return the money you took from me?"
Yu Lei has always been straightforward, and there was no need to beat around the bush with her son, so she asked straight to the point.
Su Gan was just about to sit down on the sofa, but when he heard her ask this, he stopped in mid-air, calmed down a little, and then sat down.
He knew that what he did was a bit unkind!
Two months after he came back, he indeed forgot about this matter. Later, when he remembered it, he urged Liu Jiajia to return the money.
Liu Jiajia hesitated but didn't say she wouldn't pay it back, so he thought Liu Jiajia had paid it back.
But just two days ago, he got his salary and wanted to have a meal of braised pork, so he asked Liu Jiajia to buy it for him. However, Liu Jiajia said that the meat was too expensive and told him to just make do with some vegetables!
He was a little angry for a moment and started to complain!
"Isn't the money you earn meant to be spent? I only earn a few dozen yuan a month, so how can I not afford a meal of meat?"
It happened that Liu's mother came to see Liu Jiajia that day. Not only did she scold her, she also took away all her newly received salary.
She was already in a bad mood, and after hearing what Su Gan said, her temper flared up.
"Eat, eat, eat! All you do is eat! We're still saddled with foreign debts, so how can we spare that much money to buy meat?"
"Debt?" Su Gan was a little confused. Does he, Su Gan, need to owe debt?
"What do you mean? Who do we owe a debt to?"
Liu Jiajia realized that she was speechless and looked a little panicked. She wanted to find an excuse to get away with it, but her brain was not enough for the moment.
"No, I don't owe anything..."
At this moment, no matter how dumb Su Gan was, he could see that something was wrong with her! He suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.
He pressed on, "Tell me the truth, did you borrow money from someone behind my back?"
"No, no, why would I borrow money from others?" Liu Jiajia looked panicked and lowered her head.
Su Gan looked at her straight in the eyes, obviously not believing what she said. "Go and take out all the money at home. We should have saved quite a bit in the past two years, right?"
As Su Gan spoke, he calculated the income and expenses of the two of them in his mind.
The combined salary and bonuses of the two of them are almost 80 yuan per month. Given Liu Jiajia's frugality, their daily life is so simple that their monthly expenses are no more than 20 yuan at most.
