Early the next morning, Su Meng received a call from Mr. Ling.
"Mengmeng, did the Jiang boy go to Shanghai with you?"
Because she had just woken up, Su Meng was still a little confused. She said, "Yes, Grandpa, what's wrong?"
Mr. Ling sighed, "After the conflict with his family yesterday, this kid left without saying a word. His grandfather was very worried about his mood, but he didn't answer the landline at home, and his grandfather couldn't contact him."
Su Meng's sleepiness suddenly disappeared. She held her phone and said, "Grandpa, don't worry. He is in a good mood now. We will be back today."
Mr. Ling breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, "That's good, I'll talk to Mr. Jiang later. By the way, please pay attention to safety on your way home."
"I know, Grandpa."
After Su Meng hung up the phone, Xiaomei woke up next to her. She rubbed her eyes with a sleepy look on her face, "Sister Mengmeng, are we getting up?"
"That's right. If we continue to wander around Shanghai today, we will return to Beijing."
Hearing these two place names, Xiaomei's face darkened suddenly, "Sister Mengmeng, what should I do?"
Su Meng touched her head and said, "You come back to Beijing with me first. We will figure out what to do next."
Xiaomei's mood suddenly rose a lot. She took Su Meng's arm and said, "Okay."
While Su Meng was brushing her teeth, she thought that her cell phone had been quiet all night. The middle-aged man did not come to find her, and the police did not come to inquire about the situation. Could it be that the middle-aged man did not call the police at all
No, this is not in line with his style at all. How could that man let go of this matter so easily
Su Meng suddenly thought of the conversation she had with Jiang Tingzhou before going to bed last night.
He said to her casually and firmly, "Don't worry, there won't be any trouble."
His words were inexplicably convincing. By saying this, he should have quietly settled the matter.
That must be the case.
Otherwise, the night that just passed would not have been so peaceful.
Su Meng silently recorded Jiang Tingzhou's favor in her heart.
After she and Xiaomei finished washing and opened the door, Jiang Tingzhou happened to walk out of the next room. After greeting each other, the group went downstairs to prepare for breakfast.
During breakfast, the atmosphere at the table was a bit dull.
Su Meng looked at Jiang Tingzhou, who was enjoying his breakfast quietly, and said jokingly, "Jiang is three years old, do you know that you are really childish?"
Jiang Tingzhou slowly raised his head, and his originally quiet face suddenly became more vivid. He casually twitched the corner of his mouth and tapped the bowl with the chopsticks in his hand, "Little dwarf, are you addicted to taking advantage of me?"
Su Meng shook her head seriously, "I'm not taking advantage of you, but stating the facts."
Jiang Tingzhou took a sip of soy milk slowly and said lazily, "Oh? State the facts? I, Jiang, am all ears."
Su Meng pondered for a moment, then said carefully, "Your grandfather can't contact you and is very worried about you."
Hearing the words "grandpa", Jiang Tingzhou instantly became quiet again, as if the breakfast in front of him had lost all its aroma, which made him suddenly feel appetizing.
He put down the chopsticks in his hand and lowered his eyes quietly, not knowing what he was thinking.
Su Meng looked at the fragrant steamed buns still exuding heat in front of her and said word by word, "Jiang Sansui, don't be so childish in the future, okay?"
Su Meng knew that Jiang Tingzhou was now young and frivolous, doing things regardless of the consequences, all based on the impulse in his heart. Just like this time, he left home alone without telling anyone. But the consequence of doing so is just to worry his grandfather who originally cared about him, and his rebellion will not have any impact on his father, or his stepmother, or his half-brother.
They are still a happy family. Nothing will change because of his rebellion.
Su Meng didn't know how successful Jiang Tingzhou was in his previous life, but at least, before she broke up with Su Sui and she could learn about Jiang Tingzhou's deeds from Su Sui, he was still a playboy and unruly second generation ancestor. Squandering his precious youth and the countless wealth his mother left him.
On the contrary, his two younger brothers are each better than him.
Was he really happy at that time
Obviously, from the current interactions, Su Meng knew that Jiang Tingzhou was actually a very good person. He looks frivolous on the outside, but he is actually warm and delicate on the inside.
It's just that this warmth and delicacy don't often appear in front of others. They are covered up by his cynicism and will not be seen by everyone. But just because of this, we cannot treat them as non-existent.
Without waiting for Jiang Tingzhou's answer, Su Meng bit her lower lip and asked again, "Are you okay?"
Her soft voice reached Jiang Tingzhou's ears clearly and unmistakably.
It's as soft as the white-flour steamed buns in front of you. Clean, pure white, and soft. It's irresistible.
Jiang Tingzhou smiled softly and said, "Okay."
Su Meng just breathed a sigh of relief. Suddenly, she thought that Jiang Tingzhou had not returned Peppa Pig's keychain to her.
Thinking of this, she hurriedly stretched out her hand to Jiang Tingzhou and said angrily, "Jiang Tingzhou, you haven't returned my keychain yet!"
Jiang Tingzhou deliberately pretended to be stupid, "What keychain?"
"This is my Peppa Pig's keychain. Please return it to me." Su Meng continued to stretch her hand in front of Jiang Tingzhou as she spoke.
The next second, Jiang Tingzhou suddenly leaned his chin on Su Meng's palm and said lazily, "Here, I'll pay you back."
Su Meng's palms seemed to be on fire and she immediately took them back, "Jiang Sansui, you just promised that you wouldn't be so childish!"
After Su Meng took away her palm, Jiang Tingzhou slowly straightened up and smiled playfully, "Then... can I just be childish to you?"
Su Meng completely underestimated Jiang Tingzhou's shamelessness, "You!"
At this time, Xiaomei couldn't help but chuckle. Su Meng was worried about Xiaomei's presence and bit her lower lip. She said nothing more and only glared at Jiang Tingzhou fiercely.
By the time the group of people bought the specialties, it was already seven o'clock in the evening by taking the high-speed train back to Beijing, and it was already eight o'clock when they returned to the compound.
After Su Meng said goodbye to Jiang Tingzhou, she took Xiaomei's hand and walked home.
After Grandma Zhang opened the door for her, she felt that there seemed to be something different at home. The joy on Grandma Zhang's face was too obvious, and the house seemed more lively.
After Su Meng roughly explained Xiaomei's matter to Granny Zhang, she asked strangely, "Grandma, is there anything good going on at home?"
Grandma Zhang said with a happy face, "It's a good thing. Your uncle returned to China today. He is on the way now and will be home soon!"
