Li Mengmeng's heart was broken first, and finally drunk, knowing her position in the other party's heart, while grateful, she was full of entanglement. She regretted her approach a little, but how could she bear to put Sister Shuyun, who had just ignited hope in life, into a basin of cold water?

She almost forgot how she said goodbye to Liu Xiaoguang tonight, and she didn't know how she drove the car away, but when she was conscious again, she was actually downstairs at her mother's house. At this moment, it is already midnight.

Yang Lanting had already fallen asleep, and when her daughter ran home in the middle of the night, she woke her up from her dream and was really startled.

"Mengmeng, what the hell happened?"

Li Mengmeng reluctantly smiled: "It's nothing, I just miss you, so come back and take a look." ”

Yang Lanting shook his head decisively: "That's not right. Your expression is wrong, and you don't go home normally, is there a conflict with Shuyun? ”

Li Mengmeng shook her head lightly: "It's none of her business." ”

"That's because of whom? Could it be your boyfriend? ”

Li Mengmeng had no choice but to admit: "Well, he... It's about to leave Northern Qi. ”

Yang Lanting was taken aback: "Did he transfer away?" Where are you going? ”

Li Mengmeng hurriedly explained: "Because of his work, he wants to go to the Tianyan Project site to work, and he will come back when the Tianyan Project is over." ”

"Since that's the case, what's upset about you?"

Li Mengmeng couldn't tell her mother the real situation, so she had to cover it up: "But this project will take several years, and there are few chances for him to come back." ”

"Oh, when is he leaving?"

"Just for a few days."

"Then you can't spend the New Year at home."

Li Mengmeng smiled bitterly: "For those who are engaged in engineering construction, there is no holiday at all. ”

Yang Lanting groaned, "Were you with him just now?" ”

"Oh yes."

"Why don't you bring him to me?"

"You want to see him?"

"yes, since he's my daughter's boyfriend, shouldn't he come and visit me?"

Li Mengmeng smiled bitterly again: "I have long had this meaning, but not only are people busy, but even you are so busy every day, you don't have this opportunity at all." ”

Yang Lanting pondered: "For these reasons, I didn't rush to urge you to bring him here, I wanted to wait until the Chinese New Year to get together again." But since he's leaving, and he's been going for so long, shouldn't he come over and meet him? ”

Li Mengmeng still shook her head lightly: "There's no need, I want to give up this relationship." ”

"You're going to give up? Why? ”

"I can't live this kind of cowherd and weaver girl's life."

"Well, why did your mind suddenly change? Since you chose a scientist as your boyfriend, you should consider the situation of getting together less and leaving more. ”

Li Mengmeng sighed: "Alas, it's all because I was impulsive on a whim, and now I regret it, even if he doesn't leave, it's not easy for me to see him." No wonder Shuyun chose to leave him in the first place. ”

Yang Lanting also smiled bitterly: "You are so capricious, will it hurt him?" ”

Li Mengmeng shook his head: "It shouldn't be, he is currently devoting his energy to the Tianyan Project." ”

"Alas, you are still too young to understand a man's heart at all. He can generate motivation for work because of your existence, and if he loses you, he may languish at work or even make mistakes. ”

Li Mengmeng took the opportunity to say: "Since this is the case, let's wait for him to complete the super project before officially announcing the breakup." ”

Yang Lanting was shocked: "Are you going to delay it for several years?" ”

"Isn't that possible? Anyway, he's so far away from me, so I'm usually on the phone to deal with it. ”

"What if he asks you over?"

"Why did he invite me over?"

"Alas, since you are his nominal boyfriend, you are no different from your family. It's normal to go there to visit relatives. ”

"But he has other family members."

"Who?"

"His ex-wife and son, of course."

"You mean Shuyun?"

"Well, who else will his ex-wife have besides Shuyun?"

Yang Lanting frowned: "Did you make such a decision for Shuyun?" ”

Li Mengmeng was shocked, and quickly shook her head and denied: "No! I'm just for myself. ”

Yang Lanting couldn't help but laugh and said, "You were born to me, don't I know you yet?" You just chose to give up and it was very different from your character, and now I finally understand the real reason. ”

Li Mengmeng was powerless to argue, so she had to hang her head and remain silent.

Yang Lanting looked very indifferent: "Since you want to give them a chance to reunite, it's not impossible." Originally, I was worried that the age difference between you and him was too great, but I didn't want to go against your will. ”

Li Mengmeng's heart moved: "You support me in doing this?" ”

Yang Lanting nodded: "There is love in coming and going, and gathering and dispersing are fate." As long as you see everything, everything will be fine, as long as your heart is not hurt. However, your current demeanor proves that you have been deeply hurt. ”

Li Mengmeng couldn't help but have mixed feelings in her heart, and threw herself into her mother's arms in pain: "Mom... My daughter is hurt... Please help me heal..."

The next day, Nan Binghuai was still in a hurry, trying to squeeze out that little time to go home tonight, of course, Liu Xiaoguang wanted to assist him.

Everything went well, but in the afternoon, the expected meeting could not be held as scheduled, because an express train to Northern Qi was late, and for a long time, many people who had come to Northern Qi from other places to attend the meeting were trapped on that train.

The shuttle bus from the observatory was already anxiously waiting at the train station, and Nan Binghuai and Liu Xiaoguang were even more anxious. Because the participants are not all together, the meeting will not be able to start on time, and once it drags on, it will inevitably affect Nan Binghuai's family banquet.

Liu Xiaoguang knew that Nan Binghuai's family banquet was not easy, so he suggested to Nan Binghuai: "Since the delegates to the meeting can't get together, let's change the meeting date to tomorrow?" You can take the opportunity to go home and be with your family. ”

Nan Binghuai's expression was very solemn: "Xiao Liu, do you know what the schedule of some conference delegates is?" ”

Liu Xiaoguang shook his head blankly: "How do I know?" ”

"Then I'll tell you the truth, some people have booked tickets for tomorrow's return trip, they rushed all the way to Northern Qi for a meeting, but they can't enjoy the scenery here and have to rush back, which shows that they are busy with the Tianyan Project, it can be said that I took this time to come to Northern Qi for a meeting, how can I affect people's itinerary because of my own selfishness? So, no matter how late they come, we have to wait. Even if it drags on until dark, the meeting must be held today. ”

Liu Xiaoguang frowned: "Then what about your family banquet?" ”

Nan Binghuai thought of the expectant faces of his wife and children, and his heart couldn't help but sink, and he struggled for a while before he reluctantly said: "Since the meeting has been postponed, my family banquet has to be postponed." I hope they understand me. ”

Liu Xiaoguang immediately said: "Since this is the case, let me call my wife, right?" ”

Nan Binghuai felt that he couldn't face his family, so he readily agreed: "It's okay for you to inform them, and explain it by the way." ”

"I know, my wife must be reasonable, but... Lingling is hard to say. ”

Nan Binghuai couldn't help but smile bitterly: "It's not her to blame, it's me who is too unqualified to be a father." ”

Liu Xiaoguang shook his head helplessly, and immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed Zhang Meina's phone-

Besides, the Nan family is gathering together, Zhang Meina is coaxing her grandson and granddaughter to play in the living room, while her children, daughter-in-law and son-in-law are busy in and out of the kitchen. At this time, it was already approaching evening, and the gluttonous family banquet of the Nan family had entered the stage of preparation in full swing.

At this time, Liu Xiaoguang's call came in-

As soon as Zhang Meina heard her mobile phone ringing, she immediately realized that there was news from her wife, so she immediately left the two children and went straight to the sofa where the mobile phone was placed.

When she picked up her mobile phone and looked at the caller ID, it was actually Liu Xiaoguang.

She answered the phone curiously: "Hey, Xiao Liu?" ”

"Master, it's me."

Zhang Meina's heart tightened: "Is there something wrong with you?" Can't he come back? ”

"Haha, don't be nervous, Professor Nan has me here to check it, I will definitely not forget this family banquet."

"Oh, I'm tired, you can bring Meng Meng too."

"No, Mengmeng is traveling to other places at this time, and I can't be too late."

"Really?"

"Master, I know that you have prepared a table of sumptuous delicacies for Professor Nan, and I feel as if I have smelled the fragrance here. It's a pity... I really don't have a mouthful. ”

"Since Meng Meng is not in the local area, why can't you come?"

"Didn't I say that? I'm afraid I won't be too late. ”

"What... Too late? ”

"Oh, the purpose of my call is to tell you that our Tianyan Project Command is going to hold a very important meeting today. The meeting had to be postponed because many representatives of the field cooperation units were delayed on the road..."

Zhang Meina's heart hung again: "Xiao Liu, when will the meeting be postponed?" ”

"This... It's hard to say... As soon as the participants from other places are together, it will be held immediately. ”

"Why are they delaying on the road?"

"The train they took was delayed, and the bus in Taiwan has been waiting at the train station for a long time."

"If they're too late, will the meeting still take place?"

"Yes, it has to be held because we don't have time to postpone the meeting."

Zhang Meina chatted with him a few more words before ending the call.

Zhang Meina, who put down her mobile phone, was a little worried, hesitated for a moment, and immediately ran to the kitchen-

"Mom, what are you doing here? You don't need to be here, you just have to coax your grandchildren to play. ”

Nan Jie, who was busy in the kitchen, saw that she had broken in, and immediately made the above statement.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Meina looked grim: "Don't be busy, children, let's stop." ”

Nanyun and the others were stunned: "Why?" ”

Nan Jie questioned for a moment, and then suddenly said, "It must be my father who missed the appointment again, right?" ”

Zhang Meina shook her head: "Lingling, you're wrong. Your dad won't miss the appointment, and he'll come back to eat with everyone. Otherwise, I wouldn't have told you to stop. ”

Nanyun realized something, and after exchanging glances with his wife beside him, he asked tentatively, "Isn't my dad able to get out of his body at the moment?" ”

Zhang Meina nodded: "Yes, he has a very important meeting to attend." ”

Nan Jie was dissatisfied again: "Since it is a meeting, there should be a notice in advance." Why didn't he say it until now? Isn't it the pigeon that magnifies the family? ”

"Don't talk about your dad like that!" Zhang Meina glared at her daughter rarely, "This is not the result he wants, because the people attending the meeting are stuck on the late train, so the meeting has to be delayed." This would not have been the case if the meeting had been held on time. ”

Nan Jie was counted down by her mother, and her eyes were a little lost, so she had to swallow her anger and said: "Well, we don't blame Dad, since he can't come back in time, won't we eat anymore?" We continue to do a good job. ”

Zhang Meina shook her head resolutely: "No! We have to wait for him to come back for a bite of a hot meal. ”

Nan Jie was a little stunned and said, "Wait for him?" How long will it take? ”

Zhang Meina was categorical: "Even if you wait until midnight, you have to wait!" ”
