Chapter 17: First meeting with the Qin family
After Su Mei returned home, she was still worried, and Meng's father and Meng Yuanliang didn't speak to each other the whole way.
Meng Yitong looked at the depressed look of the family and quickly cheered up to comfort them: "Okay! Don't worry! Don't you still believe me? After I get married, I will definitely live a good life!"
Meng Yitong really has this confidence. Before she traveled through time, she was just an orphan, with no money and no background. Yet, she still went to a pretty good prestigious university, passed the judicial examination after graduation, and joined a pretty good law firm!
Although the salary of a trainee lawyer was very low, she still saved enough for a down payment on a small apartment by working various part-time jobs.
Meng Yitong believes that good life is created by oneself, not given by others.
Besides, the current situation is much better than her previous life.
Although she doesn't believe that money is omnipotent, she does believe that having money can help her do more fun things.
She believed that her life was definitely better in this life than in her previous one.
The next day, Meng Yitong started packing her things to take to the Qin family. After all, that was where she would live for the next five years. The contract with Mr. Qin stated that she was not allowed to request separation within five years.
It took Meng Yitong a whole day to pack everything.
Su Mei looked at Meng Yitong's empty room and couldn't help feeling sad. She said, "Why did you take those old clothes with you? Are you not planning to go home?"
Meng Yitong felt guilty after hearing what her mother said. Alas, she was used to being frugal and she really couldn't bear to throw away these nice clothes.
And the most important thing is that she is not only penniless now, but also has a lot of debts!
Even though Mr. Meng has promised so much now, those are all physical things and she hasn't seen a penny yet!
She was short of money and really couldn't imagine herself getting married without bringing anything and waiting for her husband to support her.
So even though she knew that Meng's mother might be sad, Meng Yitong still took away all the daily necessities.
"No, I just suddenly came to an unfamiliar place, and I felt a little uneasy, so I wanted to make some more preparations."
As soon as Meng Yitong finished her explanation, Meng's mother's expression became visibly more depressed.
That’s right, when people get married, they suddenly have to leave their own home and move to another home to live with other people.
Anyone would be nervous about this.
Not to mention, Yi Yi has yet to meet the person with whom she will spend her life.
She must be more nervous than anyone else right now.
But until now, Yi Yi has not said anything. Instead, she has been comforting herself and her father.
This is really growing up.
But this sudden growth is not what Meng's mother wants to see most.
She still prefers her daughter to be happy and carefree every day.
Meng Yitong saw the look on Meng's mother's face and immediately realized that she had said the wrong thing, so she changed the subject and said, "It's mainly because I'm used to these things. After I got married, I may need to pretend for a while."
"At the beginning, I couldn't expose my habit of spending money to them like this."
"If I leave a bad impression on others, it will be bad..."
Before Meng Yitong finished speaking, her mother interrupted with a frown, "Why do you have to pretend?"
"You and this Qin Zhuoran didn't get married for love."
"We suffered so much and married into the family, not to continue suffering."
"Besides, the Qin family is so rich that they don't care about this."
"If they really care about your daily expenses, then life is meaningless."
"After you endure for five years, you can divorce and move back home."
"Besides, Mom still has some money. I'll give it to you when the time comes. We won't spend their money..."
Seeing that Meng's mother was getting more and more anxious, Meng Yitong quickly started to change the subject.
Who is the most anxious person in this family right now?
Meng Yitong felt that it must be Mother Meng, so she should not put herself in danger at this moment.
Meng Yitong finally persuaded Mother Meng to leave after much persuasion. After Meng's mother left, Meng Yitong went to bed early to have a good beauty sleep.
Although she had never met Qin Zhuoran before, and as of now, she didn't have a good impression of Qin Zhuoran.
But she still hoped that she would be in better condition tomorrow, and could leave a good impression on each other when they first met, so that her life would not be tiring in the future.
Unfortunately, Meng Yitong, who was full of hope, was completely disappointed the next night.
As soon as Meng Yitong got up the next morning, she went to the beauty salon with her mother and had a full spa.
This is the first time that Meng Yitong has experienced this kind of beauty project since her birth.
The overall feeling is very comfortable. Rich people enjoy a different way of life.
In preparation for the evening party, Meng Yitong went shopping for clothes and had her hair done with her mother. This was also the first time that Meng Yitong felt the joy of dressing up.
And for her, today is also a wedding in a sense! Today’s dinner is also considered a wedding! Although there is no ceremony, we cannot be careless.
Unfortunately, Meng Yitong's happiness did not last long.
When Meng Yitong, dressed up, arrived at the hotel, the smile on her face completely froze when she saw that the only people from the Qin family who came were Chairman Qin with a serious expression and Mrs. Qin with an arrogant look.
Meng Yitong just wants to ask, is it too late for her to regret the engagement now?
"Hahaha, come on! Mr. Qin, try this wine. This is an old wine that I have stored for forty years."
Mr. Meng said with a smile, without any sign of dissatisfaction on his face.
"Uncle Meng, just call me Zhigang! We're a family from now on, no need to be so polite." Chairman Qin also softened his expression.
"Hahaha, then I'll beg you, Zhigang, to try this dish. This is the specialty of this chef, you must try it..."
Second Aunt Meng has also been entertaining Mrs. Qin warmly.
In sharp contrast to the lively atmosphere of toasting and chatting over there was the quietness of Meng Yitong's family of four.
Father and Mother Meng glared at the people at the table with sullen faces. If Meng Yitong hadn't pulled her back just now, Mother Meng would have almost overturned the table impulsively.
Of course, she might not be able to lift such a heavy table even if she wanted to, but if she hadn't been pulled, those people on the opposite side would have no way of eating so peacefully.
Meng Yitong looked at Uncle Meng, Aunt Meng and cousin Meng Yuansi, who were warmly welcoming Chairman Qin together with Grandpa Meng, and she just found it funny.
I wonder if they would still be able to smile so brightly if it was Meng Wanbai getting married today?
After chatting for a few rounds over there, he seemed to finally notice the family of four sitting here.
Chairman Qin focused his attention on Meng Yitong, the only young girl present. Second Uncle Meng immediately introduced her knowingly, "Yiyi, come and meet them. This is Chairman Qin and Mrs. Qin from the Qin Group. They are also your future father-in-law and mother-in-law. Just call them mom and dad!"
Meng Yitong looked at the bright smile on Uncle Meng's face and almost laughed out of anger.
This was the first time we met, and the man wasn't even present, but now he asked me to call them "Mom and Dad" right on the spot.
Even if the original owner was not his daughter, she was still a member of the Meng family and had called him second uncle for so many years. At this time, he really didn't care about the original owner's life or death!
Meng Yitong felt that it was a real shame for someone like Uncle Meng Er not to become a lackey!
Mr. Meng and Mrs. Meng's faces became completely gloomy because of Uncle Meng's words.
