Chapter Seventy-Seven, Stay Away
When Mei Lan was guessing Cai Ganlin's intentions, Deng Jianwu went ashore, saw Mei Lan looking down at his mobile phone, and hurriedly asked what happened.
"No, it's nothing, I'm thinking about where to take my grandmother and them to dinner." Mei Lan smiled and put her phone in her school bag.
"There is a Yunnan restaurant near here that does not do well and is relatively light." Deng Jianwu said.
He knew what his parents were suitable for, and those bizarre Western dishes and fast food that young people like nowadays would definitely not be able to get into the eyes of the elderly.
"No, Dad, I want to go there for dinner." Hu Hu pointed to the TV tower opposite.
"Isn't that a TV tower?" Merlin asked.
She hasn't been in Beijing for a long time, and she's a student, except for being familiar with school, the rest is a hospital, so she didn't know that there was a revolving restaurant on top of the TV tower.
"The hooves are obedient, the old woman is old, and the old woman and mother-in-law can't get used to eating the dishes on it." Deng Jianwu was reprimanded.
"It's okay, the child can go if he wants." Zhou Guizhi couldn't see that her little great-granddaughter was unhappy, and she came out to play to make everyone happy.
"That's it, children can go if they want to, and I heard that after lunch, you can also go to the underwater world below to visit." Yang Hongmei said on the side.
As soon as Mei Lan heard it, she knew that Yang Hongmei came up with this idea, otherwise how would a five-year-old child know where to go to eat?
Deng Jianwu must also be aware of this, so he refused, right?
"Grandma, let's go, Lan Lan will take you to eat something delicious."
In front of so many people, Mei Lan couldn't afford to save the old man's face, and it just so happened that Liu Qiaozhen also said that she wanted to invite Wang Limin and his wife to have a meal and repay the favor.
Originally, she just wanted to take everyone out to have a long experience, but there were two more outsiders who didn't like it.
The group then walked to the TV tower, and when they entered the hall, Mei Lan knew that the restaurant above was buffet-style, 198 yuan per person, no wonder Yang Hongmei would have Mei Lan's idea.
Zhou Guizhi also regretted a little when she learned about this price, although Mei Lan is not bad now, but she has lived in Beijing these days, and she also knows what the housing prices in Beijing are, otherwise, her grandson would not still owe the bank money.
"Lan Lan, or we don't go." The old lady whispered to Mei Lan.
Mei Lan has done enough for the Deng family these days, Zhou Guizhi can't bear to increase Mei Lan's burden, she also persuaded Mei Lan in private, let Mei Lan plan more for herself in the future, if she has money, she still buys a suite in Beijing, women, when can she support herself to have confidence.
"It's okay, grandmother, we're all here, I originally wanted to take you to see the big city, isn't that right? In the future, let's come out and play by ourselves and don't bring them. Merlin whispered in the old man's ear.
Mei Lan had just finished appeasing a Zhou Guizhi here, and Deng Hongying over there also called, "So expensive?" Two hundred for one person to eat a meal? ”
However, Deng Wenxiang and Liu Qiaozhen are quite calm, it is estimated that when they went to Shenzhen before, Deng Shuiying took the second elder to see it.
"It's not expensive, eldest niece, there are more expensive places in Beijing than this, let Lan Lan lead you to a few more places in the future, and you will understand." Yang Hongmei said busily.
"Mom, it's so easy to come, let's go up." Mei Lan also said.
A few people were about to walk inside when Mei Lan's cell phone rang.
This time it's Xu Yan.
Mei Lan was just about to hang up the phone, but Xu Yan spoke.
"Lan Lan, I'm going to the United States tomorrow, let's meet, I'll be waiting for you at the east gate of your school, there are some things I want to make clear to you."
"To the United States? So fast? ”
Mei Lan regretted it after speaking, but fortunately Xu Yan didn't pay attention.
Mei Lan remembered that in the previous life, Xu Yan only left in his senior year, how could this life be advanced?
"What's wrong?" Zhou Guizhi saw that Mei Lan's expression was wrong, and asked.
"I'm in a bit of a hurry, I have to go first." After Mei Lan finished speaking, she took out a stack of money from her wallet and put it in Deng Jianwu's hand.
"Uncle, today's meal is my grandmother's invitation to grandpa, you lead everyone up, I won't go."
"Lan Lan, what's the matter?" Deng Jianwu was not at ease.
Just now I saw Mei Lan holding her mobile phone in a daze, she would receive a call and run away, no matter how you think about it, it's not right.
Does this kid really have a boyfriend?
"Uncle, I'm going to see someone." Merlin was reluctant to elaborate.
The people of the Mei family and the Deng family knew about Xu Yan's existence.
In fact, she didn't know why she wanted to see Xu Yan.
Of course, it is impossible to relive the old relationship, Mei Lan is not the kind of woman who will turn back, if that is the case, when she was in Ciping, she would not let Xu Yan say it, but would tell Xu Yan that she has the ability to make money.
But Mei Lan just wanted to see him, after all, he was gone, and he didn't know what year or month it would be when he saw him again in the future, and Xu Yanzhi to Mei Lan was not only the love of his youth, but also the family affection that had been with him for ten years.
Half an hour later, Mei Lan drove to the east gate of the school, and Xu Yan was standing under the big characters at the school gate.
Mei Lan stopped the car, but did not get out of the car immediately, but sat in the car and looked at Xu Yan.
Xu Yan is still the same Xu Yan, his hair is still not long or short, he is still wearing the black-rimmed glasses, and he is still wearing a black jacket and blue jeans that Mei Lan has seen.
However, he is not Mei Lan's Xu Yan anymore.
Mei Lan took a deep breath and forced back her tears, then she pressed down the window and smiled at Xu Yan.
"Xu Yan, I'm here."
Xu Yan looked at Mei Lan, and then looked at Mei Lan's QQ, his eyes widened suspiciously, and he walked to Mei Lan in a few steps.
"Whose car is this?"
"Mine."
"Yours?" Xu Yan obviously didn't believe it.
"What's wrong? It's really mine. ”
"Lan Lan, you come down, let's have a good talk." Xu Yan's face darkened.
"Come on, I'm hungry, before, you bought me such a meal, today, I will buy you a meal for you, it can be regarded as a full stop between us, in the future, we are not related." Merlin pulled out a smile.
When Xu Yan heard this, he still said with a dark face: "Just go to the hotel over there, and you don't need to drive." ”
Hearing this, Mei Lan looked at Xu Yan and nodded, "Then you wait for me for a while, and I'll go and stop the car." ”
Mei Lan finished and drove the car into the school.
When Mei Lan walked to Xu Yan's side, Xu Yan looked at Mei Lan in front of him, and his face became even darker.
Mei Lan is wearing a light gray Nike spring dress because she is out to play today, and even her shoes are Nike's, which she can't buy without more than 1,000 yuan.
Where did Merlin get her money from in just a few months?
actually drove a car, what did she do?
Mei Lan led Xu Yan into a Hangzhou Gang restaurant, because Mei Lan planned to treat her to this meal, and Mei Lan also knew Xu Yan's taste, so Mei Lan took it upon herself to order six dishes.
"It doesn't take so much." Xu Yan persuaded Mei Lan.
"It's okay, take a good head, and I wish you all the best in whatever you do in the future."
When Xu Yan heard this, he stopped squeaking.
Mei Lan took a sip of tea, "Didn't you say that you had something to say to me?" ”
"No, I just want to see you."
"Xu Yan, since you have let go of my hand and have already held other people's hands, it is better for the two of us not to disturb each other, so that it is a kind of respect for me and her."
Xu Yan was silent for a while, thought for a while, and said: "Mei Lan, we won't talk about everything in the past, it's my fault I admit it, and I won't defend it, I came to see you today, just as a friend or brother, no matter what, I don't want you to go the wrong way, I hope you live better than me, Lan Lan, you are only nineteen years old, manage your own life well, in the future, there will be better boys suitable for you." ”
"Don't worry, I said it, I'm sure you'll be doing well." Mei Lan interrupted Xu Yan's words.
What annoys her the most is that the two have broken up clearly, and they have to pretend to care about each other very much, saying "You are a good person, and there will be more suitable people in the future." And so on and so forth.
"So what do you say, what's going on with your car? And the clothes on your body, don't sue me, it's earned by your part-time job. Xu Yan asked with a dark face.
"Does this have anything to do with you?"
"What do you say?" Xu Yan looked at Mei Lan.
Mei Lan was suddenly provoked into anger, "Xu Yan, I said it, from that day on, we are strangers. ”
"If you really treat me as a stranger, why did you come to see me?" Xu Yan was not annoyed.
Mei Lan was asked, just when someone came over to serve the food.
Mei Lan bowed her head and served a bowl of soup, and asked herself why she had come to see him.
"Mei Lan, I'll leave tomorrow, and in the future, we won't see each other for a long time, no matter what, I hope you will always be the simple and kind Mei Lan who always loves to laugh and always be optimistic, you, do you understand what I mean?"
Merlin sniffed, and her eyes were a little wet.
After all, the person sitting opposite is the person she has been chasing and looking up to since she was eight years old, ten years, from childhood to adolescence, and then to the green years of eighteen, Mei Lan has come all the way, fortunately with Xu Yan, she has found her life purpose.
But Mei Lan just doesn't understand, how can ten years of time not be worth the pursuit of others for more than a year?
"That money was earned by buying lottery tickets and making stocks. Xu Yan, I, I mean if, if I have money now, you, are you ......"
"Lan Lan." Xu Yan drank Mei Lan and leaned back on the chair weakly.
"Lan Lan, don't underestimate yourself, I said, you deserve better." Xu Yan couldn't say what he said later, so he found an excuse to go to the bathroom, came out to settle the bill, and then sent a text message to Mei Lan and left in a hurry.
Actually, when he came to see Mei Lan this time, he originally wanted to send a card to Mei Lan, which contained the 20,000 yuan he had earned from working for more than half a year, but now it seems that Mei Lan doesn't need it, so there is no need for him to stay.
He still has his own responsibilities and obligations, and in the future, Mei Lan can only be a cinnabar mole in his heart forever.
Mei Lan looked at the word "goodbye" sent by Xu Yan, and suddenly burst into tears, she also guessed Xu Yan's intention, and must have known that Mei Lan didn't need money, so he also put it down, so he left with peace of mind. R1152
