In the car, Song Huaiqian leaned back in his chair, tilted his head and looked out the window, his thoughts equally complicated.
He knows Xiaoye too well.
Now Xiao Ye would subconsciously run to Meng Yiming, which shows that Meng Yiming has a place in her heart.
This afternoon, when Meng Yiming was taking Xiaoye on a bicycle, he saw a smile of disgust yet happiness on Xiaoye's face.
Maybe Xiaoye herself didn't realize that Meng Yiming was special in her heart, different from other men.
If Meng Yiming and Lin didn't have that childhood, he might agree to their relationship.
On the one hand, he didn't want Xiaoye to recall that unhappy childhood. On the other hand, he didn't believe that the promise they made when they were young would make Meng Yiming so deeply in love with her until now. Perhaps there was something else he didn't know.
Of course, Song Huaiqian also investigated Meng Yiming.
Meng Yiming's father was originally the director of Wucheng Iron and Steel Plant. Later, he became the leader of Wucheng City. Later, he was promoted to the leader of Wencheng City and finally retired in Wencheng.
Meng Yiming has an older brother and an older sister, both of whom have already started their own families and careers.
Meng Yiming went abroad at the age of sixteen and returned to China at the age of twenty-eight. He worked in a hospital for three years, joined an international rescue organization and went abroad again. He stayed in the United States for another three years. Later, he followed Xiao Ye to Nigeria and then followed him back to China.
When Song Huaiqian returned home, Lin Ye was still playing with the two children in the living room.
"Dad, why did you take so long?" Lin Ye asked casually.
"Dad went to Dr. Meng's house for a while."
"oh."
Lin didn't ask any more questions and continued playing with the two children.
Song Huaiqian didn't say anything else.
Meng Yiming was right. He didn't want to use Xiaoye's respect for them to hijack her thoughts.
Sunday afternoon.
Meng Yiming came to visit the Song family with some things in his hand. He brought fruits, packaged gift boxes, and bought toys for An An and Ke Ke respectively.
Cheng Jingmo took the things and said, "Dr. Meng, thank you. I'm sorry to have cost you money again."
Lin also asked: "Why do you need to use 'again'?"
Cheng Jingmo gave him a look that showed his understanding.
Lin Ye immediately explained, "Dr. Meng and I each paid for our meal. I didn't take advantage of him!"
Cheng Jingmo invited Meng Yiming into the house.
Song Huaiqian stood up from the sofa and said, "Doctor Meng is here."
Lin Yunyi also came out from the kitchen to say hello.
Meng Yiming nodded politely, "Hello, uncle and aunt."
Yu Xiangnian made him a cup of tea and said, "No wonder I don't see Lin Ye every afternoon. It turns out you two made plans to go out for dinner."
Meng Yiming smiled and said, "It's just to satisfy your craving. In Nigeria, you can only imagine what you want to eat."
Yu Xiangnian sat across from him and said, "I heard that Lin also imagined a roast chicken and asked you to take the blame."
Mentioning this, Meng Yiming shook his head in admiration. "I only told her that the cafeteria had added some new dishes, but who knew she'd rush into the cafeteria and start asking for roast chicken? The cafeteria chef wanted to make her a roast chicken!"
Lin also scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly.
Everyone talked about what happened in Nigeria, and the family members only then learned that Lin Ye had cut his leg, but Dr. Meng did not mention the matter of washing each other's clothes and having close contact.
Lin Yunyi sincerely thanked Meng Yiming, "Doctor Meng, it's a good thing you accompanied Xiaoye to Nigeria, otherwise I would be really worried if she was alone there!"
Lin also said: "Dr. Meng is going to work, why would he accompany me?"
Lin Yunyi: "...No matter what Dr. Meng did there, he took care of you. I should thank him."
Lin Ye: “...” She said in her heart that she was getting care in exchange for doing double the laundry.
Cheng Jingmo and Yu Xiangnian looked at each other, and both of them understood what Lin Yunyi meant.
The meal was ready and everyone sat at the table. There was a rich variety of dishes on the table, including a chicken dish, braised chicken.
Seeing Lin Ye eating piece after piece, Lin Yunyi gave her a few meatier pieces and said, "Eat more. It's a big chicken."
Yu Xiangnian said in disbelief, "I heard from Dad that you ate half of the steamed chicken that day, and you ate so much today. Have you turned into a weasel?"
Lin Ye: "That's what Dr. Meng said to me, but I've been craving chicken lately!"
Meng Yiming thought to himself, you haven’t seen Lin Ye’s meals these days.
The chicken has suffered a lot!
They have been eating chicken for every meal these days, braised chicken, boiled chicken, sesame oil chicken, spicy chicken...
The atmosphere of the meal was warm and lively. After the meal, Meng Yiming drank a cup of tea before leaving.
Everyone saw him off, and Lin also said, "Doctor Meng, there are no buses now. You can ride my bike back, and I'll pick it up from you tomorrow."
Everyone heard that Lin Ye would go to see Meng Yiming tomorrow, and Song Huaiqian frowned slightly.
Meng Yiming said: "No need, it's convenient to take a taxi outside, I can just take one."
Everyone sent Meng Yiming out of the compound and watched him get into the car before leaving.
Before going to bed at night, Yu Xiangnian asked Cheng Jingmo: "Have you noticed that Dad doesn't like Dr. Meng and Lin Ye getting along?"
"Um."
"Do you think it's because Lin Ye is too naive, and Dad is worried that she'll be deceived and hurt, so he doesn't like him?"
"It's more than that." Cheng Jingmo said, "Lin is also simple, but Dad has never cared about how she interacts with others. Maybe Doctor Meng didn't do a good job, and Dad is not satisfied."
Yu Xiangnian thought for a long time, but couldn't figure out what could be wrong with Meng Yiming, who was so smart and worldly-wise.
Cheng Jingmo thought for a while and said, "Maybe... they simply can't bear to let go of Lin Ye. After all, she is their daughter who they raised since she was a child."
Put yourself in Coco's shoes. When Coco grows up, no matter which man pursues her and wants to marry her, he will dislike her!
It has nothing to do with whether the man is outstanding or not, it’s just that I just can’t bear to see my cabbage being eaten by a pig.
Yu Xiangnian raised an eyebrow, "Why didn't you say anything when you were stealing other people's cabbages?"
"I got a lot of flak from the Commander-in-Chief. Back then, I couldn't be nice to you, or not be nice to you, or care about you, or ignore you. And then there was Yu Xiangyang lurking around, always keeping an eye on us and complaining to your parents from time to time. So whatever I did was wrong."
Yu Xiangnian kicked him and asked, "Are you still feeling wronged?"
"It's not a grievance. I'm willing to marry you." Cheng Jingmo said, "I think Meng Yiming thinks the same way. If he is willing to chase Lin Ye, he has to accept my father's dissatisfaction."
Yu Xiangnian said worriedly, "Dr. Meng is already quite old, and not only is Lin still not understanding, but Dad is also against it. If this continues, Dr. Meng might end up alone."
Cheng Jingmo said: "Dr. Meng has not found anyone to settle for yet. He would rather live alone than find someone to settle for. If he wants to find someone, he has to find someone he likes."
"Tsk tsk tsk!" Yu Xiangnian curled his lips, "Cheng Jingmo, it's a pity that you don't become a woman."
"Um?"
"You married Yu Xiangyang in your first marriage, and Meng Yiming in your second marriage. The first marriage is better than the first one."
