Chapter 9: Meal Dates

Meng Weiqing went to the coffee shop she frequented near the company again.He muted his phone, temporarily blocked some people, and prepared to browse Weibo to relax and wait for Bai Xiaojun's news.For the past month, Meng Weiqing has been with his mother. In order to match her work and rest schedule, he goes to bed early and gets up early every day, three meals a day, leading a normal life that he hasn't had in more than ten years.I hardly touch my mobile phone, except to watch TV with my mother and read books by myself.According to Meng Weiqing's observation: Song Chunhong's memory was sometimes clear and sometimes fuzzy, and sometimes he knew everything. He would ask about the company and Meng Weike's situation, and advised Meng Weiqing not to blame his younger brother for thinking about his siblings.Sometimes he treats Meng Weiqing like a child and completely forgets that he has given birth to a son like Meng Weike.

The waiter brought the coffee, but it was not cold enough to drink. A phone call came in, and it was Meng Weike.

Bai Xiaojun contacted Meng Weiqing as soon as he finished taking off his make-up, but he didn't even reply to a few WeChat messages.Bai Xiaojun hesitated for a while, and dialed the phone directly, but no one answered.

Still in the office.Meng Weike didn't smoke or drink, but made a pot of tea in advance.

"Congratulations." Meng Weike slapped his hands half-paralyzed on the sofa with a mocking face.

Before entering the company gate, Meng Weiqing was congratulated endlessly by the people in the company he met, until the second before he opened the office door.

Meng Weiqing sat directly opposite Meng Weike, "Tell me, why do you have to come here? Can't you talk on the phone?"

"It's not me." Meng Weike rolled his eyes and said, "It's the elder sister."

The door of the next bathroom opened, and Meng Weijia came out and sat between the two brothers, "I was supposed to attend the trial. But the plane was late, and I couldn't make it. I couldn't contact you after landing, so I had to let Wei be available." The company's landline has been dialed to you. If you block me on WeChat, it doesn't count that you set my phone number as a nuisance call, right?"

"Well—" Meng Weiqing scratched her head, "Didn't you say that I'm sure I'm fine and you don't need to come back?"

"I need you to tell me whether I need to come back or not?" Meng Weijia picked up two teacups and poured tea and handed it to Meng Weiqing, "Even if it's not about the two of you, Mom's body...you have already told me."

Meng Weiqing took a sip of tea and sneered, "Hmph, I haven't seen you visit my mother once in a month, and you seem to know everything."

Meng Weike also sneered, "Hmph, it's as if you can go back to see your mother often without a month's free time."

Meng Weijia put the teacup on the coffee table, "Are you two telling me this?"

The two brothers fell silent, and Meng Weijia glanced at them respectively, "I'll go to my mother's place first when I get off the plane, and I told her to go back for dinner tonight."

"There is still something to do in the company, you two go back first. I will go to see her by myself some other day."

"I can't do it either, I have an appointment tonight."

Meng Weijia glared, and turned to Meng Weike first, "Is there something wrong with the company? What's the matter? Your brother just filed a lawsuit today, so you have to push him to celebrate if you have anything to do. Besides, Weiqing is the head office. CEO, you are just a substitute, now he is fine, you can just explain to him if you have anything to do. And you. "

Meng Weijia looked at Meng Weiqing again, "Who is the date? Is it so important?"

Meng Weiqing sighed, "There is no one, and you don't even know if you tell me."

Meng Wei stretched out his head laughingly, "Is that your little actor boyfriend?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?! He's just...we're just ordinary friends."

"Ordinary friends? Ordinary friends can make you want to retire, and you still take the initiative to contact your future father-in-law during this month of retreat? How about it? Am I right? I heard that the young actor has a movie to shoot now?"

"Meng Weike!" Meng Weiqing leaned forward and raised his finger to the tip of his brother's nose, "You use your energy of checking me every day to be the CEO of the company already, why do you need to fight me?!"

Meng Weike slapped his brother's hand away, "Who the hell wants to steal from you?! I'm just mad at Dad for being unfair! I can't swallow this! I'll return it to you in the office tomorrow. Don't worry, treat the bad things about the company as my love." Do you care?"

"Don't." Meng Weiqing leaned back on the sofa, "You don't need to pay it back, you can stay here. Don't ask me about the company for now. I will take my mother to the United States in a few days, and check it out..."

"What? You want to take Mom away?" Meng Weike interrupted Meng Weiqing, "I don't agree!"

Meng Weiqing frowned, "Why do you disagree? Don't you want me to get out of the country and stay away from you? Or would it take so much trouble to frame me for financial fraud?"

Meng Weike sneered and rolled his eyes, "Don't talk nonsense? When did I frame you? Is there any evidence? Of course I want you to go, but you don't take Mom. Do you think I don't know what you are planning? Dad pissed you off, and gave you such a high share. Now that Mom has this disease again, don’t you just want to wait for Mom to leave so that you can leave her shares to you alone? Then don’t say My sister and I, even if we get to the board of directors, no one can do anything to you."

Meng Weijia slammed the armrest of the sofa, "Are you two enough?! Dad is still dead! Are you speaking human language?!"

Meng Weiqing and Meng Weike stopped talking again, one was annoyed and the other was disdainful, looking away together with their shoulders raised.

"I don't agree with taking my mother abroad for medical treatment." Meng Weijia broke the silence.

Meng Weiqing became even more angry, "Why?!"

"Alzheimer's disease, you can't cure it even if you take her off the earth. What are you fussing about? What mom needs now is stability and rest. How long has dad been gone? Mom will cry when she wakes up. If you want to It’s okay to take her out to play, and you can avoid seeing a doctor. But it will take a year and a half. You have to take care of the company’s affairs. Now that my father is gone and my mother is sick, the three of us must deal with family and company affairs in the future. Discuss and vote together. Come on, don't talk nonsense. Stand up for me and go to Mom's for dinner!"

On the way, Meng Weiqing turned on the phone and sent a message back to Bai Xiaojun: I have something to do here and I can't leave, I will contact you later.If you're hungry, eat first, let's make an appointment for supper.

Bai Xiaojun put down his phone, looked back at the half-packed suitcase, sighed, and sent another message to Meng Weiqing: forget it if it's too late.The filming of the Beijing scene is over, and I will go to Shenzhen for the next few scenes.The plane in the early morning, I have to leave at twelve o'clock at the latest.

Next, Bai Xiaojun continued to clean up while waiting for Meng Weiqing's reply, but nothing came of it again, and there was no more news.

At 11:30, Bai Xiaojun was so hungry that he cooked a bag of instant noodles and devoured it.The phone rang twice in the middle, one was Xu Jing asking him to bring his documents so as not to delay the plane, and the other was when Wang Xinxin, a female supporting actress whom he met recently who was filming together, said that she had arrived at the airport coffee shop and asked him how long it would take to give it to him. He orders a cup of coffee.Bai Xiaojun replied to them while eating noodles with one hand.Finally, seeing that it was too late to wash the dishes, Bai Xiaojun threw the dishes into the sink and opened the dialogue page with Meng Weiqing again.

Bai Xiaojun: I'm leaving.Come back and find time to eat.

After typing these two sentences, he was about to put away his mobile phone and pull up the suitcase to go out, but Meng Weiqing unexpectedly replied two words at this moment: open the door.

Bai Xiaojun stood at the door and stopped watching his phone stuck in his shoe."Huh?"

There is a knock on the door.Bai Xiaojun opened the door, his eyes widened in disbelief, "You...how...I was leaving just now."

Meng Weiqing stepped into the room and pulled up the suitcase behind him, "Let's go, I'll drive you to the airport."
