Ye Hui is the eldest son of the Ye family, his father, and even his grandfather's contacts, and the reputation of the Ye family will soon be maintained by him.

After the guests settled down, the Ye family and his wife went out to socialize, while Ye Hui and Meng Liangren hid in the room and made licorice tea brought back from the tavern.

Ye Hui said, "I applied to the University of Science and Technology in Wanxi."

HKUST has two campuses, the larger one is in Changping and the smaller one is in Wanxi.

Meng Liangren's black line: "...So, I made this trip for nothing?"

Ye Hui said: "If you don't come, I don't know that the master of the Fang family values ​​you so much that he even brings you here for the coming-of-age ceremony for the younger generation."

Meng Liangren shook his head and said, "I don't know what Fang Hongjian was thinking, but he wasn't the one who hurt me....Is it true that the car accident back then can't be found at all?"

Ye Hui said: "Based on my connections, I couldn't find out anything at that time, and I can't find out anything now. But your elder brother sent you to Fang Hongjian's side suddenly, maybe he knew something through the help of Fang's family." .”

It was welcoming and seeing off outside, Ye Hui couldn't stay in the room all the time, he went out after the two had a conversation.

This Mrs. Ye and sister-in-law Bian Xiuhe toasted the guests together. After a round, the two ladies put down their wine glasses and hid in the bathroom to adjust their makeup.

Bian Xiuhe combed her hair gently with a wooden comb, and said, "How come Huihui is having a good day, there is no movement at all from the old lady's side."

Mrs. Ye paused the hand holding the makeup brush, and said, "Did you forget what day was last month?"

Bian Xiuhe frowned and said, "I know. It's been so many years since Ye Er's death, she still can't let it go."

"It's okay not to let go of the pain of bereavement." Mrs. Ye sighed, "Since Huihui's car accident the year before last, I've also ignored it. Let her old man enjoy the happiness of life."

The day after the banquet, Fang Hongjian proposed to return to Wanxi.

Meng Liangren called Meng Zhe, and this year he followed his instructions to report his safety by calling once a month.

Whenever he called, Meng Zhe would answer the call, listen to him dryly describe the recent situation, say "yes" before hanging up.

Hearing that he was still in Linchuan, Meng Zhe did not immediately hang up the phone, but said: "If you are not in a hurry, go and see Meng Jun."

Meng Liangren paused, and replied, "Okay."

Pan Tao heard that he was leaving soon, so he jumped on the phone and said, "Damn, how many times have we met now? You're not a big girl, so it's not too late to go out to have a meal with brother. You must have some farewell wine, right?" ?”

Meng Liang said humanely, "Why didn't you see me when I left?" But he still told Fang Hongjian.

Fang Hongjian said, "Meng Meng..."

Meng Liangren called, "Uncle Fang." His eyes were fixed on him.

The young man stared at him like a puppy. Even though Fang Hongjian tried his best not to let him stay here, he couldn't help but say, "Okay, it can't be too late."

Meng Liangren turned around, changed his clothes, and went out in a puff of smoke.

Fang Hongjian leaned on the side of the sofa, flicking the cigarette ash.

It's become more and more soft-hearted lately... Could it be that he's getting old?

In the restaurant, Pan Tao was sitting opposite Meng Liangren, with his sister in his arms.

Meng Liangren glanced at the girl, and saw that she was also looking at him carefully, so he said to Pan Tao: "This is it?"

"My girlfriend." Pan Tao smiled, hooked the girl's chin and said, "Honey, do you like lobster?"

The girl smiled softly and said: "Yes." Then she nodded to Meng Liangren and said, "Young Master Meng."

Meng Liang said: "You recognize me?"

The girl smiled shyly: "When I was playing with Sister Xue before, I met Meng Shao once. You are so forgetful, my name is Li Chiying."

Meng Liangren was somewhat familiar with this name, and vaguely remembered it: "You sing very well."

Li Chiying's eyes lit up and said: "Thank you, Young Master Meng still remembers."

Meng Liangren heard her mention Xue Can, but she and Xue Can looked different, one was arrogant and arrogant, and the other was gentle and docile.

Pan Tao lazily said: "Hey, this is a farewell wine, so I don't need to reminisce about the old days. Eat more later, the lobster here is so-so big..."

The lobster was served in a glass plate, and the three of them chatted while peeling it, and ate up the two plates of lobster.

After eating and drinking, they parted at the entrance of the restaurant. Meng Liangren got into the car, looked at his watch, and said to the driver, "Go to the city."

Meng Jun should be in the third grade. Meng Liangren asked the doorman, looked for several classes, and finally saw him at the back door of the classroom with the "three (4)" sign.

The child was sitting by the window, pursing his lips and listening to the teacher tell a story, while the little girl beside him chattered to him, but he ignored them.

Meng Liangren smiled, leaned against the railing of the corridor, wrote a sentence on a light blue card, crossed it out, wrote another sentence, and still crossed it out.

It stands to reason that when he returned to Linchuan, he would most want to see Meng Xu, but he always thought of Meng Jun.

There are many people around Meng Xu. He was orphaned when he was young, but maybe he is lucky to be stupid. If it wasn't for Meng Liang's people to disturb him back then, maybe he would be able to live a lifetime of worry-free life under the protection of his elder brother and the others.

But Meng Jun...

When the bell rang for the end of get out of class, a few naughty little boys rushed out, and the boy hiding at the door grabbed one and stuffed the chocolate into his hand: "Hey, do me a favor, please?"

The girl next to her was still talking non-stop, like a big frog with a bulging face.

Meng Jun scribbled on the paper with a pencil, drawing an adult and a villain.

"Meng Jun! Meng Jun!"

The girl turned into a boy, yelling loudly, and Meng Jun was restless. One wrong hand, the adult was slashed.

Someone put a small potted kumquat tree on his desk, with light blue cards tied on the delicate branches.

Meng Jun opened his eyes wide and stood up.

The boy scratched his head and said, "The big brother at the door gave it to you." After speaking, he left with the chocolate in his mouth.

Meng Jun rushed to the corridor and searched on both sides. There were carrots as tall as him, but the adult had long since disappeared.

He walked back to the classroom, the kumquats were still on the table, surrounded by a few curious classmates.

Meng Jun reached for the card, nothing was written on it, but a stick figure of a kitten.

He didn't cry the day Meng Liangren left, but at this moment, the tears opened up like a flood, washing away the teacher who rushed over to coax him, and the adult who was scratching his nose and laughing.

Back in Wanxi, everything went on as usual, school and get out of class ended, and Fang Hongjian must have already left work when he returned to his residence—God knows what kind of work he was doing, so he asked him with a smile, "Meng Meng, are you back? What are you eating today?"

Everything he ate was hotel food, the corners of Meng Liangren's mouth twitched, well, the cook did a good job.

Originally, he was in high school and should have evening self-study every day, but Fang Hongjian disagreed, and even wanted to pick him up and drop him off from school every day, but was firmly rejected.

Studying here, I also met some friends, some from rich families, and some students who are studying hard.Meng Liangren sometimes thought of Cong Rong. After he left, Cong Rong stayed in No. [-] Middle School, boarding at the school, relying on scholarships and part-time jobs to save tuition.

Thinking about it, after leaving Meng Liangren's side in the last life, he also lived like this.

When Meng Liangren calls him, the housekeeper always answers first, and then roars angrily: "Cong Rong—someone is looking for him!"

Not long after that, the young man answered the phone panting slightly, and said with a smile, "Fourth Young Master."

"... The food is good, the dormitory is good, and the roommates are very friendly, are you okay?"

Meng Liang said: "...I'm fine too."

Then Cong Rong started rambling.How's the scar on his forehead, how is Mr. Fang, is the place comfortable, are you used to Wanxi's food...it's like a copy of Aunt Gui.

Meng Liang didn't realize until he hung up the phone. He made a long-distance call but didn't ask anything.

The weather is getting hotter and hotter in July and August, especially in Wanxi. The air conditioner is turned on in the classroom and the windows have to be closed, so the room smells of sweat instead.

That night, it finally rained heavily.

Meng Liangren opened the balcony window, and the rain was so loud that he almost didn't hear the phone call.

It was Pan Tao who called, and there was also the sound of rain falling, Meng Liang said humanely, "Is it raining heavily in Linchuan too?"

Pan Tao said in a low voice, "I'm not in Linchuan, I'm at Yuchun Airport."

Yuchun Airport is located in Wanxi.

Meng Liangren paused and said, "Are you in Wanxi? Why don't you say anything if you want to come."

Pan Tao laughed, but he was no longer as hearty as before, and said hoarsely: "I, I ran away from home."

It was pouring rain.

Meng Liangren hurried up the steps of the airport hall, the rain from the eaves falling on his shoulders.

Put away the umbrella, cross the glass door, search among the many passengers waiting for the rain to stop, and finally saw someone with his head down.

With a height of 1.8 meters, he huddled on the public seat, and every inch of his clothes were wet, so there was no such thing as Young Master Pan in high spirits.

Meng Liangren walked over, kicked him and said, "What are you doing?"

Pan Tao looked up at him and sneezed loudly.

Half an hour later, the two got out of the car and ran under the eaves under the umbrella.When the door opened, Fang Hongjian happened to be downstairs with tea. Seeing Meng Liangren entering the room covered in moisture, he said, "Take a bath first, don't catch a cold."

Pan Tao followed behind obediently, listening to the rumor that the Fang family leader reminded Meng Liangren to take a bath and drink hot water like a dad, and felt that he was really living in a dream.

Meng Liangren took him to his bedroom, found out that he was wearing a baggy T-shirt and pants and threw it on him, and then went into the bathroom to take a shower.

When he came out, he saw that Pan Tao had already changed his clothes. He took out a towel from somewhere, wiped his hair and looked around.

Meng Liangren poured two cups of hot water, handed him a cup, sat on the swivel chair and said, "Say it yourself, or do you want me to ask you?"

Pan Tao lowered his head, pondered for a while, probably thinking about what happened, then raised his head for a long time and said, "My father's illegitimate son came to the door."
