Chapter 18 Meng Yunlan
In the early morning, the sunlight casts a golden glow on the earth, dispelling some of the winter chill.
Su Yuan carried the snacks that had not been sold out in the shop yesterday and walked all the way to the entrance of the school.
As she approached, she saw her friend talking incessantly to a masked man in fancy clothes.
From time to time, he would raise three fingers above his head as a gesture of assurance.
The man's reaction was calm from beginning to end. He stood with a dignified posture, followed by two servants. It was obvious that he was a man from a wealthy family.
Su Yuan raised his eyebrows. What was going on?
I haven't heard that her good friend has a husband!
Just as she was wondering, Meng Yunqiao caught a glimpse of Su Yuan out of the corner of her eye and jumped three feet high with joy.
She waved her hands and shouted:
"Hey, Su Yuan, come here quickly."
Su Yuan didn't understand, but still quickened his pace and walked over.
As soon as she got closer, she smelled a faint orchid scent mixed with the scent of ink.
Su Yuan looked over and discovered that the fragrance came from the man she had just seen from afar.
His face was covered with gauze, revealing gentle and melancholy eyes. He was dressed in moon-white brocade clothes with orchids embroidered on the collar and sleeves, looking delicate and elegant.
Su Yuan didn't linger on her gaze for long. He just glanced at her casually and then turned to ask his friend in a calm voice:
"What do you want from me?"
Meng Yunqiao grinned:
"Well, I just want to introduce you to my brother."
After that, he turned to the masked man and said:
"Brother, this is the person I mentioned to you yesterday, my classmate and good friend, Su Yuan."
Meng Yunlan nodded calmly, "Nice to meet you."
Seeing that he had not achieved his goal, Meng Yunqiao winked at Su Yuan and urged him:
"Su Yuan, hurry up and say hello to my brother. We are good sisters. As the saying goes, an elder brother is like a father. From now on, he will be considered your elder. Let's get to know each other."
Su Yuan was completely confused by Meng Yunqiao's actions.
Why did I recognize an elder for her out of nowhere?
But Su Yuan didn't want to ask on the spot, so he just pretended not to hear.
She nodded politely to the masked man.
Then he said to Meng Yunqiaomu with a stern face:
"It's almost time to study. If you're free, I'll go in first."
After saying that, she pulled away Meng Yunqiao's hand that was holding her arm, turned around and strode away.
When Meng Yunqiao heard that he was going to study, his eyes lit up again and he said to the man:
"Brother, did you hear me? It's time to study. If I don't leave now, I'll be late. Go back quickly. I'm going in!"
After saying that, she ran into the school.
Only the masked man and his servant were left there.
The attendant Wen Qing chuckled and said:
"Sir, the young lady is so afraid of you. I guess she has never run so fast even when facing the head of the family and the master."
Another attendant, Wenxiu, echoed:
"Of course. Our young lady is most afraid of being scolded by the young master with a stern face. By the way, the young lady's good friend, who looks about the same age as her, is probably another person who has repeatedly failed the exam."
"Alas, if the young lady hangs out with people like this, she will be even less willing to study. Sir, you must have a good talk with the young lady tonight and tell her not to hang out with these bad friends."
The man frowned and scolded:
"Wenxiu, be careful with your words and actions. Talking about others behind their backs is not what a gentleman does."
Wen Xiu was reprimanded, lowered her head and said weakly:
"Oh, I see, sir."
After the three of them finished talking, they got on the carriage and left.
Tianzi class.
Meng Yunqiao trotted all the way to the school.
The gentleman had not arrived yet and Su Yuan had just sat down.
She went over and clasped her hands together in apology:
"Su Yuan, you're not angry, are you? My brother just caught me and scolded me. You don't know that he is a person who values etiquette the most. If there was a foreign woman around, he would definitely leave by himself."
"I didn't expect you to be so uncooperative. Fortunately, I have escaped from the clutches of the enemy. However, I don't know how I will get through the rest of my life."
"His fiancée, Han Ling, ran off to teach at Shuming Academy, and my brother followed her. I was living a happy life by myself, but now that he's here, my good days are over."
Su Yuan's eyes moved slightly when he heard this, and he said casually:
"Han Ling, Shuming Academy, what's your brother's name?"
"Meng Yunlan." Meng Yunqiao said casually.
After that, she became curious again:
"Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
Su Yuan pursed her lips and said, "It's okay, I just asked casually."
Meng Yunqiao believed it and didn't ask any more questions.
Su Yuan lowered his eyes and thought in his heart.
Han Ling, a scholar and teacher at Shuming Academy, is a pair with Gu Ranran's younger brother.
Later, Han Ling will break off the engagement and be with the lively and lovely Gu Ziluo, while Meng Yunlan, a typical boy from a wealthy family, will end his life with a white silk thread after his engagement is broken off.
Su Yuan sighed in his heart.
Although she knew the plot, she was not that idle. At most, she would wait until his engagement was broken off and then remind Meng Yunqiao to pay attention to Meng Yunlan. That would be her greatest kindness.
Even though she seems cheerful every day, she is very nice to Su's father Nanchu and Meng Yunqiao, and greets them with a smile.
But in fact, her heart is quite cold. If she didn't have to make a living, she would have a cold face every day.
"Oh, by the way, I saw you just took the lunch box, aren't you going back to eat lunch today?"
Meng Yunqiao is a natural chatterbox and feels uncomfortable when he stops talking for a while, and here he starts again.
Su Yuan shook his head, opened the lunch box, and said:
"This is what's left over from my pastry shop. If you don't mind, you can try some."
Meng Yunqiao looked at the cakes, swallowed his saliva and said:
"If you don't mind, then I'll be polite. I didn't eat breakfast and now I'm starving."
After she finished speaking, she picked up a piece of dragon beard crisp and put it into her mouth. After swallowing it, Meng Yunqiao exclaimed:
"Wow, your cakes are so delicious. The taste is comparable to Ruyifang in Tongcheng."
Meng Yunqiao's loud voice successfully attracted the attention of other students.
They were all about thirteen or fourteen years old and were very curious. They saw Meng Yunqiao eating with relish.
I'm very confused, does it really taste that good?
Seeing this, Su Yuan's eyebrows twitched slightly.
She opened another box of snacks and said loudly:
"If you don't mind, you can come and try it. I still have some."
The people around looked at each other, thanked Su Yuan, and started to taste the food.
"Mm, it tastes good, classmate Su, what's the name of your store and where is it? We want to go buy some too."
"Yes, it's delicious. I want to buy some too."
Su Yuan saw that the effect was achieved and smiled:
"My shop is called Xiang Su Fang, on Qinghe West Street. If you go to buy something, tell me your name and I'll give you 20% off."
"Really? Classmate Su, you are so kind. I will go buy it tomorrow when I am off."
"Yes, I will also pack some for my family. The snacks from your Xiangsufang are the best in Qinghe Town."
"Okay, I'm very happy that all of you are here." Su Yuan said with a smile.
