Chapter 20: Missing
Ye Hui is the eldest son of the Ye family, and his father, and even his grandfather's connections, the prestige of the Ye family, will soon be maintained by him.
After the guests were settled, the Ye family and his wife were out to socialize, while Ye Hui and Meng Liangren hid in the room and brewed the licorice tea brought back from the tavern.
Ye Hui said: "I applied for the University of Science and Technology in Wanxi. ”
HKUST has two campuses, the larger one in Changping and the smaller one in Wanxi.
Meng Liangren's black line: "...... So, I ran this trip in vain? ”
Ye Hui said: "If you don't come, I didn't know that the master of the Fang family valued you so much, and even brought you personally for the junior's coming-of-age ceremony." ”
Meng Liangren shook his head and said, "I don't know what Fang Hongjian thinks, but he is not the one who harms me." …… Is it true that the car accident back then could not be found out at all? ”
Ye Hui said: "With my little connections, I couldn't find anything at the time, and I can't find it out now." However, your eldest brother suddenly sent you to Fang Hongji's side, maybe he borrowed the Fang family's hand and knew something. ”
Ye Hui couldn't stay in the room all the time, so he went out after the two talked.
This Mrs. Ye and her sister-in-law Bian Xiuhe toasted to the guests together, and after a turn, the two ladies put down their wine glasses and hid in the bathroom to tidy up their makeup.
Bian Xiuhe gently combed her sideburns with a wooden comb and said, "Why is Huihui's good day, there is no movement at all on the old lady's side." ”
Mrs. Ye took the makeup pen and said, "Have you forgotten what day last month was?" ”
Bian Xiuhe frowned and said, "I know." Ye Er's death day, but so many years have passed, can't she let go of it. ”
"It's not wrong to lose a child and not let go." Mrs. Ye sighed, "Since the car accident the year before last, I have also seen it. Let her be an old man and enjoy the blessings. ”
The day after the banquet, Fang Hong gradually proposed to return to Wanxi.
Meng Liangren called Meng Zhe, and this year, according to his instructions, he made a phone call every month to report his safety.
No matter when he called, Meng Zhe would pick it up, listen to him dryly tell the latest situation, say "good", and then hang up.
Hearing that he was still in Linchuan, Meng Zhe didn't hang up the phone immediately, but said, "If you're not in a hurry to leave, go see Meng Jun." ”
Meng Liangren paused and replied, "Okay." ”
When Pan Tao heard that he was leaving, he jumped to his feet on the phone and said, "Damn, how many times have we met?" It's not a yellow flower girl, it's not too late to come out and have a meal with my brother and then leave, you always want to have wine, right? ”
Meng Liangdao: "Why didn't I see you Zhang Luo when I left?" But he still told Fang Hong.
Fang Hongjian said: "Meng Meng......"
Meng Liangren shouted, "Uncle Fang." Two eyes were fixed on him.
The young man's eyes were staring at him, like a puppy, even if Fang Hong was gradually trying not to let him stay here longer, he couldn't help but speak: "Okay, it can't be too late." ”
Meng Liangren turned around and changed his clothes, and went out with a puff of smoke.
Fang Hong gradually leaned on the side of the sofa and flicked the cigarette ash.
Recently, it has become easier and easier to soften...... Could it be that he is old?
In the restaurant, Pan Tao sat opposite Meng Liangren, and Pan Tao was holding his sister in his arms.
Meng Liangren glanced at the girl, and saw that she was also looking at herself carefully, so he said to Pan Tao, "This is?" ”
"My girlfriend." Pan Tao grinned, hooked the girl's chin and said, "Baby, do you like lobsters?" ”
The girl smiled softly and said, "Hmm." He nodded at Meng Liangren and said, "Meng Shao." ”
Meng Liang said: "Do you recognize me?" ”
The girl smiled shyly: "When I used to play with Sister Xue, I saw Meng Shao, you are a noble person who forgets things, my name is Li Zhiying." ”
Meng Liangren was a little familiar with this name, and vaguely remembered it: "You sing very well." ”
Li Zhiying's eyes lit up and said, "Thank you, Meng Shao still remembers." ”
Meng Liangren heard her mention Xue Can, but she and Xue Can were two different looks, one was presumptuous and proud, and the other was gentle and obedient.
Pan Tao said lazily: "Hey, this is a candied wine, so you can avoid the old days." I'll eat more later, the lobster in this house is so big......"
The lobster was served in a glass dish, and the three of them chatted while peeling it, and ate the two plates of lobsters clean.
After eating and drinking, they separated at the door of the restaurant, Meng Liangren got into the car, looked at his watch, and said to the driver: "Go to the city for a small time." ”
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 sat by the window, pursed his lips and listened to the teacher's story, and the little girls around him chattered and talked to him, and he ignored others.
Meng Liangren smiled, leaned against the corridor railing, and wrote a sentence with a light blue card, crossed it out, wrote another sentence, and still crossed it out.
It stands to reason that when he returns to Linchuan, he wants to see Meng Xu the most, but he always thinks of Meng Jun.
There are many people around Meng Xu, he was orphaned when he was young, but maybe it was his blessing to be stupid, if it wasn't for Meng Liangren to disturb him, maybe he could be under the protection of his eldest brother and have no worries for a lifetime.
But Meng Jun ......
When the bell rang for the end of class, several naughty little boys rushed out, and the teenager hiding at the door grabbed one and stuffed the chocolate into his hand: "Hehe, do me a favor, okay?" ”
The girl next to her was still talking, like a big frog with a bulging face.
Meng Jun scribbled on paper with a pencil, drawing an adult and a villain.
"Meng Jun! Meng Jun! ”
The girl turned into a boy, and she yelled loudly, Meng Jun was irritable, and with a wrong hand, the adult was scratched.
Someone placed a small kumquat tree potted plant on his desk, a delicate branch tied with a pale blue card.
Meng Jun's eyes widened and he stood up.
The boy scratched his head and said, "The big brother at the door gave it to you." After that, he walked away with chocolate in his mouth.
Meng Jun rushed to the corridor, looking for it on both sides, it was all as tall as him, and the adult was long gone.
He walked back to the classroom, where the kumquat on the table was still there, surrounded by a few curious classmates.
Meng Jun reached out and took the card, which had nothing written on it, and drew a stick figure of a kitten.
He didn't cry the day Meng Liangren left, but at this time, the tears were like a flood opening the floodgates, washing away the teacher who rushed over to coax him and the adult who was smiling at his nose.
When he returned to Wanxi, he went to school and got out of class, and when he returned to his residence, Fang Hongjian must have already gotten off work - God knows what kind of work he did, and asked him with a smile: "Meng Meng, are you back?" What to eat today? ”
Whatever you eat is a hotel dish, the corners of Meng Liangren's mouth twitched, well, the cook is still doing well.
Originally, he went to high school and should have evening self-study every day, but Fang Hong gradually disagreed, and even had to take him to and from school every day, which was resolutely refused.
Studying here, I also made some friends, including rich children and students who studied hard. Meng Liangren sometimes thought of Cong Rong, and after he left, Cong Rong stayed in No. 1 Middle School, boarding in the school, and saving tuition fees by scholarships and part-time jobs.
I think that after leaving Meng Liangren's side in the previous life, he also lived like this.
Meng Liangren called him, and the dormitory manager always answered first, and then roared with full anger: "Cong Rong - someone is looking for him!" ”
Then it didn't take long for the young man to take the phone with a slight gasp and said with a smile: "Four less." ”
“…… The food is good, the dormitory is good, the roommates are very friendly, are you okay? ”
Meng Liang said: "...... I'm okay too. ”
Then Cong Rong began to chatter. How about the scar on his forehead, is Mr. Fang good, is he comfortable, and is Wanxi's food used to eating...... A copy of Aunt Gui alive.
When Meng Liang hung up the phone, he reacted, and he made a long-distance call, but he didn't ask anything.
The weather is getting hotter, July and August are scorching, especially in Wanxi, the air conditioner in the classroom is turned on and the windows are closed, so there is a room full of sweat.
That night, it finally rained heavily.
Meng Liangren opened the window of the balcony, and the rain was so loud that he almost didn't hear the call from his mobile phone.
It was Pan Tao who called, and there was also the sound of falling rain over there, Meng Liang said: "It's also raining heavily in Linchuan?" ”
Pan Tao whispered: "I'm not in Linchuan, I'm at Yuchun Airport." ”
Yuchun Airport is in Wanxi.
Meng Liangren was stunned and said, "Are you in Wanxi?" Why don't you say a word. ”
Pan Tao laughed, but he was no longer as cheerful as before, and said hoarsely: "I, I ran away from home." ”
Rain.
Meng Liangren hurriedly stepped onto the steps of the airport hall, and the rain from the eaves fell on his shoulders.
I put away my umbrella, walked through the glass door, and searched among the many passengers waiting for the rain to stop, and finally saw someone with his head down.
The height of one meter eight is shrunk on the public seat, and the corners of his clothes are wet, how can there be a radiant appearance of Young Master Pan.
Meng Liangren walked over, kicked him and said, "What are you doing?" ”
Pan Tao looked up at him and let out a loud sneeze.
Half an hour later, the two got out of the car and ran under the eaves with umbrellas. When the door opened, Fang Hong happened to go downstairs with tea, and when he saw Meng Liangren who entered the house, he was full of moisture, and said, "Take a bath first, don't catch a cold." ”
Pan Tao followed behind honestly, listening to the rumored person in charge of the Fang family reminding Meng Liangren to take a bath and drink hot water like a father, and felt that he was really living in a dream.
Meng Liangren took him to his bedroom, found himself wearing a wide T-shirt and pants and threw them 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, and out of nowhere he got a towel, wiped his hair and looked left and right.
Meng Liangren poured two cups of hot water, handed him one, sat on the swivel chair and said, "Say it yourself, do you want me to ask you?" ”
Pan Tao lowered his head, pondered for a while, probably thinking about what had happened, and after a long time, he raised his head and said, "My father's illegitimate son came to the door." ”
