As soon as Meng Wan walked into the restaurant, she attracted countless attentions.
This western restaurant is very famous in Jiangcheng. Most of the people who come here to eat are rich second-generation senior white-collar workers who are particular about style. There are often handsome men and beautiful women coming in and out. When she walked in, everyone was still amazed by her.
Meng Wan was about to ask about the seats when she suddenly saw a gentleman in a suit standing up and waving at her. Meng Wan smiled and walked in.
Lawyer Wu stood beside the chair, his eyes under the gold-rimmed mirror frame were almost scorchingly looking at the approaching blind date partner.
He had seen photos of Meng Wan, but it was obvious that the real person was a hundred times more beautiful than the photos.
Twenty-five-year-old Meng Wan has long hair and high bundles tonight, revealing a smooth forehead and slender neck, white and shiny under the lamp. She has big beautiful and confident eyes, and she doesn't care about being scrutinized by so many strange customers, with a generous smile on her face. She is not tall, without her high heels, it is estimated to be only 1.6 meters, but her legs are slender, her chest is big and her waist is thin, and her body wrapped in a black dress is full of temptation for men.
This is a young and mature woman.
"Sorry, I'm late because of the traffic jam." Meng Wan stopped opposite Lawyer Wu and said with a smile.
"I just arrived too, sit down." Lawyer Wu was personable and helped Meng Wan pull out the chair.
Meng Wan caught a glimpse of the Rolex watch on his wrist, the champagne plate set with diamonds, and the lawyer's fair and slender hands, which were also very seductive.
As far as first impressions are concerned, so far, Meng Wan is satisfied with Lawyer Wu. After graduating from university, she has been urged by her mother to go on blind dates. On average, she goes on five blind dates a year. Lawyer Wu is considered the most handsome among them. According to my mother, Lawyer Wu's family is rich and capable, and he is the best blind date that my mother can contact for her.
As a lawyer, Mr. Wu is very good at communicating with people, and his language is also very humorous.
The first half of dinner was pleasant.
"I heard that you opened a ramen restaurant opposite Z University?" The topic finally shifted to the woman.
Meng Wan nodded.
Lawyer Wu smiled: "Miss Meng is so beautiful, why would she think of opening a ramen restaurant?"
Alarm bells rang in Meng Wan's heart, and she asked with a smile, "Is the ramen restaurant bad?"
Lawyer Wu put down the red wine in his hand, and pushed the frame of the mirror: "That's not true, it's just that the ramen restaurants on the street are very chaotic in my impression, with customers of all grades, which doesn't fit Ms. Meng's temperament. In fact, the business environment at Z University Yes, if Ms. Meng opens a western restaurant or coffee shop, the business may be better."
It is also forceful to say it, Lawyer Wu added silently in his heart. His relatives and friends are all decent people. Attorney Wu is very satisfied with Meng Wan's appearance and temperament. He doesn't mind Meng Wan's ordinary undergraduate education, nor does he mind the poor family background of Meng's family compared to them, but Lawyer Wu can't imagine his relatives and friends. When asked about Meng Wan's work, he said "ramen restaurant" and the reactions of relatives and friends.
Meng Wan understood what Lawyer Wu meant. After all, Lawyer Wu was not the first blind date who disliked her opening a ramen restaurant.
"My great-grandfather and grandpa both opened ramen restaurants. I also like the atmosphere of ramen restaurants, and I don't want to change it." Meng Wan kept smiling.
Lawyer Wu certainly knew about the situation of the Meng family. Meng Wan's great-grandfather was originally from the north. When he was young, he came to Jiangcheng to open a ramen restaurant, and he settled down in Jiangcheng. The ramen restaurant business of the two old men is very hot. Although it is very vulgar, they have saved a lot of money. It is the turn of Meng Wan's father. Finally, Meng's father stopped opening the ramen restaurant. He sold the eight ramen restaurants of the two old men and opened a shopping mall. , is now a big brand in Jiangcheng.
Therefore, Meng Wan is also born to be rich and beautiful.
It's a pity that this Bai Fumei didn't do well to leave a good rich lady, and insisted on opening some kind of ramen restaurant.
Lawyer Wu felt that the ramen restaurant was the only obstacle to his continued relationship with Meng Wan.
He tried his best to be tactful: "Western restaurants are more tasteful."
Meng Wan was straightforward: "I prefer the life of ramen restaurants."
She grew up eating her grandfather's ramen. Meng Wan couldn't make ramen by herself, but she just wanted to open a ramen restaurant.
The atmosphere was a little stiff. Attorney Wu looked at Meng Wan's beautiful face, which was no worse than that of a popular star, and decided to shelve the ramen restaurant for now. After the two had been dating for a while, he would try to persuade Meng Wan to open another restaurant. In fact, he had also seen photos of Meng Wan's ramen restaurant. The decoration was antique and the environment was elegant, but the word "ramen" symbolized vulgarity, vulgarity that he could not tolerate!
According to the plan, before dinner was over, lawyer Wu took out two tickets for the violin concert and invited Meng Wan to go with him.
Meng Wan smiled and agreed, but quietly pressed a phone number.
So as soon as the two arrived at the underground garage, Meng Wan received a call from the ramen restaurant, saying that she needed to go back to deal with something.
"Sorry, I have to go there, I can't accompany you to the concert tonight." Meng Wan shook her phone, smiling helplessly.
Lawyer Wu expressed his understanding: "Shall I take you there?"
Meng Wan shook her head, pointed to a BMW parked nearby and said, "I came here by car."
Lawyer Wu sent her to BMW all the way.
Meng Wan fastened her seat belt, waved to the gentleman in a suit outside the car, and drove away without looking back.
Men these days are in charge of the world, Meng Wan would rather become a leftover girl that her mother said she couldn't get married than find a shackle for herself.
It was almost eight o'clock in the evening, and the ramen shop was doing well, so Meng Wan didn't go there anymore, and went straight back to the Xiangzhang community.
Compared with the newly built high-end residential buildings in the surrounding area, the Xiangzhang community is quite old, but Meng Wan grew up here, and the community is close to Z University, within a ten-minute walk, so both parents moved there It's a new home, and Meng Wan still lives here. The car drove up, and Meng Wan felt a headache when she saw her lights were on.
After parking the car, Meng Wan walked into the elevator with her bag in her hand. The elevator stopped on the sixteenth floor, and Meng Wan mechanically stepped out.
As soon as she opened the door, Meng's mother rushed over from the living room, and asked gossipingly, "How is it, is this handsome enough today?"
Meng Wan curled her lips while changing her slippers: "What's the use of being handsome, people think that I have no style in opening a ramen restaurant."
Mother Meng stared at her daughter and said, "I told you to change your business a long time ago. You have to learn from your grandfather."
Meng Wan stared back at her mother: "I made money last year, who praised me for my ability? Who else often goes to my place to eat without giving money?"
Meng's mother felt guilty immediately. Her daughter's ramen restaurant was beautifully decorated. The two ramen guys who made the noodles were young and handsome.
Wechat ding ding, Meng's mother looked at her phone first, and she was happy after watching: "Aunt Xiao Wu said, Xiao Wu likes you very much and is willing to continue to develop."
Meng Wan leaned on the sofa, picked up the fruit plate and ate grapes, said vaguely, "Forget it, I'm not suitable for him, and I'm not interested in what he likes." Together, either the other party accommodates her, or she accommodates the other party, both of them are tired and boring.
Meng's mother persuaded her daughter to no avail all night, and left without making breakfast for her the next day.
The ramen restaurant opened at ten o'clock in the morning, Meng Wan slept until eight o'clock in the morning, lay down and ordered a takeaway breakfast, and Meng Wan got up to take a shower.
The takeaway came early today, and Meng Wan received a call from the delivery boy just as she came out of the bathroom. Meng Wan quickly put on a pair of short-sleeved shorts, and went to open the door with her wet hair on her head. After opening the door, there was no one there. Meng Wan guessed that the delivery boy should be in the elevator, so she simply stood at the door and waited.
The number of elevators changed rapidly, and it stopped at the sixteenth floor in a blink of an eye.
Meng Wan smiled habitually. Unexpectedly, the elevator door opened, and a clean man in a white shirt came out. He was carrying a suitcase in one hand and a big shopping bag in the other. Seeing her, the man stopped slightly. Glancing at her for a few moments, he nodded to Meng Wan in a familiar way, then passed by Meng Wan, and finally stopped in front of the door opposite Meng Wan.
Meng Wan frowned. The opposite was Professor Lu's house. Professor Lu's family of three had moved to the United States a long time ago and hadn't come back for several years. Is this man a tenant? But it seems that the Lu family's house has never been rented out.
"Is it your takeaway?"
Meng Wan was still staring at the man in the white shirt, and the delivery boy who followed the man out of the elevator made a sound.
Meng Wan regained consciousness, took the package, and said "thank you" to the delivery boy.
The takeaway guy left, Meng Wan walked back and noticed the man in the white shirt had been rummaging through his pockets, as if looking for keys, Meng Wan couldn't help asking him, "Are you a tenant of the Lu family?"
If so, the two will be living opposite each other, of course Meng Wan needs to understand briefly.
Lu Chaoqing seemed to have heard some joke, turned around, frowned and asked, "You don't know me?"
The Lu and Meng families have always lived opposite each other. Although the two families have no contact with each other, when they meet when they go out, they will simply greet each other. Lu Chaoqing was particularly impressed by the conversation with Meng's mother. In Lu Chaoqing's memory, Meng Wan was a little girl who liked to wear skirts. Apart from being pretty, she was not much different from other girls who loved acting like a baby.
Lu Chaoqing graduated from high school and immigrated to the United States with his parents. At that time, Meng Wan should be in the first year of high school. It stands to reason that a high school student should not have such a poor memory, even though Meng's mother complained about her daughter's test scores all the year round. It can be inferred that her IQ is not good.
Meng Wan really didn't remember Lu Chaoqing anymore.
She only remembered that there was a boy in the Lu family who was very good at studying, two grades higher than her. It is said that the boy was a nerd and rarely went out to play. Open your mouth, today you will talk about what awards Chaoqing won, and tomorrow you will say that Chaoqing has perfect scores in all subjects...
Later, all three members of the Lu family moved away. Meng Wan's biggest feeling was that her mother finally stopped praising other people's children!
"You are?" Meng Wan stared at the other's handsome face, but couldn't find any memories related to him. If she really met such a handsome man, she would definitely remember it.
Looking into the woman's confused eyes, Lu Chaoqing finally determined that not only was her IQ low, but her memory was also probably lower than normal.
"I'm Lu Chaoqing." He said impatiently, and continued to fumble for the key that was clearly in his pocket. When he looked up, Meng Wan exaggeratedly covered his mouth.
It was even more stupid that way, Lu Chaoqing turned back.
Meng Wan looked at this man who was at least 1.8 meters tall in disbelief. Her last memory of Lu Chaoqing was that of a tall and thin senior high school student. Good-looking, but Lu Chaoqing should be twenty-seven or eight years old this year. Well, like a small sapling growing into a tall and straight tree, his overall outline has changed, and his temperament is even different. How can she recognize him
"You, have you returned to China?" Meng Wan asked blankly.
Lu Chaoqing didn't want to answer such obvious questions.
The man's side face was cold, as if he was too lazy to talk to others, Meng Wan finally remembered that she hadn't recognized him just now, it was too impolite, and subconsciously explained: "I'm sorry, it's been a long time, you have changed a lot from high school. , I didn't recognize it for a while."
Lu Chaoqing hummed.
He doesn't blame her, some people are born stupid, he understands.
