Xia Yansen swallowed his saliva, looking a little moved: "Well, how about your salary?"
"What do you think?" Meng Yao asked back with a chuckle.
Xia Yansen's eyes wandered, and he seemed a little hesitant: "That sounds good, then do you think I'm so handsome..."
He suddenly frowned and said, "Forget it, forget it. I'd better just follow Brother Rong obediently. After all, I'm the one who will inherit the family business in the future!"
Meng Yao waited for a while, but didn't see Rong Yan, so she asked casually, "Where's my husband?"
"Brother Rong, he is busy in the study."
"Oh... why didn't you follow him this time?"
Meng Yao remembered that Xia Yansen always followed Rong Yan and was almost inseparable from him. It was rare to see them in two different places.
Xia Yansen grabbed a handful of melon seeds and said, "Brother Rong is very busy and doesn't want to pay attention to me."
"Wait, put down the melon seeds in your hand."
Xia Yansen's eyes widened: "What do you mean?"
Meng Yao said slowly: "I bought the melon seeds in your hand."
She pointed to another fruit plate and said, "These are prepared by Wang Ma. Eat them."
"No way? You're watching a handful of melon seeds so closely?"
Meng Yao smiled and said, "I am stingy and miserly. Did you only realize this on the first day?"
Suddenly, footsteps were heard upstairs. Xia Yansen's ears moved and he quickly let go of his hand. He whispered, "People from the same family should stick together."
"You're back? Are you done?" A low and gentle voice sounded.
Rong Yan walked down the stairs slowly, holding on to the stairs.
Meng Yao smiled at Xia Yansen. She said that Xia Yansen was so happy because he felt the "sense of oppression" that was suddenly imposed on him.
"I'll be back once I'm done."
Rong Yan nodded: "Do you have any other plans this afternoon?"
"no, what happened?"
I don’t know when it started, but their conversations became more and more casual.
"It's been a while since I've been to the old house. Grandma misses you very much. Let's go over and see you later."
Meng Yao was so lazy that she didn't want to do anything.
But it has been a while since I last visited Xu Youlan, and it wouldn't be right to leave it like this.
"Okay, I miss grandma too."
"Go pack up, I'll wait for you here."
After he finished speaking, he sat down leisurely and pressed his temples a little tiredly.

Meng Yao followed Rong Yin to the old house again.
Chen Ying was wearing a high-necked cheongsam and had a smiling face as she welcomed them in. "Ah'an, Yaoyao, you're all here. Come, come, come in with me. The old lady is not feeling well today, so she asked me to come and pick you up."
"Aunt Ying, what happened to grandma?"
There was worry in Rong Yan's voice and his pace quickened a lot.
"Ah... It's okay. The old lady's old illness is still a bit of a headache."
"Did you call the doctor?"
"I've seen him. Doctor Ye said it's nothing serious and I just need to rest for a while."
Chen Ying looked at Rong Yan and said, "Don't worry too much. The old lady is happy to see you visit her happily."
Xu Youlan was resting on a recliner in the room, half lying down, with two servants around her massaging her shoulders.
She half-closed her eyes and her breathing was shallow. Suddenly she opened her eyes and smiled: "It's all here. Come, Yaoyao, come here and let grandma see if you have gained some weight."
A complicated look flashed across Meng Yao's eyes, and then she lowered her head and walked over obediently.
Xu Youlan stroked her hair and said with a kind smile, "I haven't seen you for a long time, Yaoyao. Raise your head so that grandma can take a good look at you. I don't know when I will see you next time. If I look at you more often, I will remember you better."
"I've been a little busy filming lately, I'll definitely make more time to see grandma in the future."
Meng Yao raised her head as she was told, looking very obedient.
"Grandma knows you are busy. If you remember to stay here for a while, just stay here."
Xu Youlan rubbed Meng Yao's hair: "You've lost a little weight."
She turned her head to look at Rong Yan: "Look at how you take care of Yaoyao. It makes me so distressed when I see her."
She instructed Chen Ying again: "Tell the kitchen to make something Yaoyao likes to eat later. Look at how thin this child has become."
Meng Yao usually eats a lot, but when delicious food is delivered to her door, she still accepts it with pleasure.
Rong Yan's gaze stayed on Xu Youlan for a long time: "Grandma, how are you feeling lately?"
Xu Youlan asked Meng Yao to sit down.
She held her head and said, "It's nothing bad. I live a comfortable life every day. You don't have to worry about me every day."
"By the way, your aunt is still here playing with Mumu. Mumu is a very naughty child, jumping up and down and I don't know where he will run to. My legs and feet are not working well now, so you can go and take a look for me!"
Rong Wei almost instantly realized that Xu Youlan was trying to get him away. Thinking of a possibility, he subconsciously looked in the direction of Meng Yao.
"Grandma, what can I do for you..."
Xu Youlan laughed and scolded, "Just go when I told you to go. When did you become so long-winded? I just want to have a private chat with Yaoyao. I'm not going to eat her. Do you have to be so nervous every day?"
Rong Yun nodded slightly, and took one last look at Meng Yao before leaving.
After Rong Wei left, Xu Youlan reached out and patted the back of Meng Yao's hand: "Rong Wei knows how to protect you, this is a good thing."
Rong Yan was protecting himself? How was that possible
A hint of doubt flashed across Meng Yao's eyes, and she nodded.
"Come, sit closer, Yaoyao."
Meng Yao could only move forward.
Xu Youlan had a kind and gentle smile on her face. "I haven't seen Yaoyao for a long time. How are you doing recently? I heard that you have been busy filming recently. I asked your aunt Ying to find me a TV series you starred in. You acted really well. I think all the people in the series are as good as you."
Meng Yao knew Xu Youlan was just being polite, so she followed her words and said, "I guess only grandma thinks I acted well. Actually, my acting is just average."
Xu Youlan laughed heartily: "Hahaha, I didn't realize you were so modest."
"How is it like being on the set? Are you used to the food and things you use? Does anyone bully you?"
Meng Yao just shook her head.
"So how does Ah-Yan treat you? Is he still the same indifferent person as before?"
Meng Yao has become accustomed to shaking her head.
Xu Youlan sighed and nodded: "That's good..."
Xu Youlan was almost always talking about family matters, and Meng Yao would respond a few times. However, Meng Yao always felt that Xu Youlan was chatting with her not because of these trivial matters, but there must be other reasons.
really.
"Yaoyao, if I remember correctly, it's been a while since Ah Ying moved back to the bedroom, right?"
Meng Yao's eyelids twitched, but she still nodded.
"Then why...your stomach isn't moving yet?"
