"I really can't tell that you are so good at adapting to changing circumstances." When they came downstairs, Chen Mengxi handed the car keys to Liu Xun and said with a chuckle.
"Didn't I learn all this from you? Birds of a feather flock together. After spending a long time with you, I feel like I've become smarter." Liu Xun opened the car door and flattered you without blushing or beating his heart, against his conscience.
"You're so funny." Liu Xun's words obviously pleased Chen Mengxi. She burst out laughing. Now her impression of Liu Xun was so good. After all, people are in high spirits when they are happy. The fact that Chen Jiancheng didn't force her to go on a blind date was the happiest thing for Chen Mengxi.
"We are friends now. Is there anyone else in your family? If not, you can call them all to S City. I will take care of the work." Chen Mengxi sat in the back seat and kept talking to Liu Xun, asking this and that. It was obvious that the two of them got to know each other because of this incident.
When Liu Xun heard what Chen Mengxi said, he shook his head and smiled, saying, "I have a grandfather and a younger brother, but I don't plan to bring them to S City."
"Why? City S is a major city for foreign trade. It would be great to come here." Chen Mengxi looked at Liu Xun in confusion.
"No matter how good it is outside, it's not as good as my hometown! After all, that's where I was born and raised, and my grandfather is old, he must want to be at home, old people always miss home." Liu Xun started the car and asked casually: "Where are we going?"
"Let's go to the 100Da on Yanshan Road. It's closer to here! After buying clothes, let's go to a disco together to celebrate my freedom." Hearing that Liu Xun did not want to develop in S City, Chen Mengxi no longer forced him and followed Liu Xun's words.
"You have never lost your freedom, so how can you regain your freedom?" Hearing this, Li Mengyao couldn't help but teased.
"What? You don't know how dangerous this time is. If I hadn't fought back, I would have lost my freedom long ago, just like the bird locked in the cage, the two Qiao sisters in the Bronze Sparrow Palace..."
Chen Mengxi gestured with her hands like a child and spoke with a very sad expression, but Liu Xun's thoughts were no longer here.
Because of Chen Mengxi's previous words, Liu Xun began to think about his grandfather and younger brother at home. He remembered very clearly that he left when he was seventeen years old and his younger brother Liu Zhang had just graduated from junior high school.
Liu Zhang was different from Liu Xun. He had excellent academic performance since childhood. Although he, like Liu Xun, had been learning martial arts from an old man since he was a child, he never caused trouble. Even if others bullied him, he would just laugh it off.
But this is not because Liu Zhang is cowardly by nature. Liu Xun knows that Liu Zhang also has a passionate heart, but he chooses to endure. As for the reason... it is because of the old man who raised them.
This old man was called "Grandpa" by Liu Xun and Liu Zhang; although they knew they were not his biological grandsons, the old man treated them better than his own biological parents.
Although the old man had martial arts skills, he never relied on them to make money. He just planted dozens of acres of green onions, and every harvest season, he would pull a cart to the market to resell them! Liu Xun and Liu Zhang's tuition and expenses all depended on this!
Liu Xun remembered that when he was a child, about seven or eight years old, a military vehicle came to his grandfather's house. Liu Xun had forgotten the man's rank, but when the man left, he wanted to leave a box for his grandfather, but his grandfather refused, and his expression was very serious. At least Liu Xun had never seen the old man like that since he was a child, except for that time.
Afterwards, Liu Xun realized that the box was full of money, but why the old man refused to accept it was not something he should think about, because the old man had always taught Liu Xun and Liu Zhang that people should be self-reliant...
It was precisely because it was not easy for the old man to earn money that Liu Zhang did not dare to cause trouble in school. Those who bullied him were relatives of the principal. Liu Zhang was afraid that he would lose his studies and the old man would be sad.
At this point, we have to say that Liu Xun was forced to drop out of school because he was arrogant since childhood and beat a senior classmate so hard that his bones were broken.
At that time, the old man went to the school to plead for mercy in a servile manner, but the family had given gifts to the principal, so the outcome was inevitable. So now, Liu Zhang endured it because he didn't want to see the old man's servile look.
But blindly tolerating others will make them even worse. Liu Xun remembered that it was the season for harvesting green onions, and Liu Xun was harvesting green onions in the field with his grandfather.
Just then, Liu Zhang came back, his clothes stained with feces and his face bruised and swollen from being beaten, but he just smiled and said nothing.
When Liu Xun saw Liu Zhang like this, he was furious on the spot, because he knew that those who bullied Liu Zhang must have done it because of him. There was no need to think too much about the matter of going to school.
The next day, after Liu Zhang went to school, Liu Xun also went out and walked towards the school.
"Come back early for dinner. Grandpa will make your favorite scallion pancakes for you and your brother." The old man's voice sounded, plain and ordinary.
Didn't the old man know what Liu Xun was going to do? He knew, but this time he didn't stop him.
"He is your brother, you should give in to him and have the responsibility to provide for him! If a person cannot even protect his own family, then he is a waste!"
This was what the old man said when Liu Xun bullied Liu Zhang when they were children. Liu Xun always kept this sentence in his heart.
Liu Xun came to the school and beat up everyone involved in the incident. The man who smeared feces on Liu Zhang was beaten into unconsciousness on the spot.
No one among the teachers and students in the school dared to step forward or stop it. Liu Xun didn't know what happened to the man in shock because he had already been taken away by the police station.
But just when the police station was about to hand Liu Xun over to the criminal police team to open a case, ten military vehicles suddenly surrounded the police station, and Liu Xun was taken away by the people in the military vehicles, thus starting his military career.
"I don't know what this kid looks like now." Liu Xun smiled. Anyway, he would be able to see Liu Zhang and his grandfather soon, so it didn't matter if he waited a little longer.
When he arrived at the mall, Liu Xun undoubtedly became a focus, not because he was wearing a military uniform, but because there were two beautiful women around him, which made the originally inconspicuous Liu Xun also shine.
The reason why Liu Xun's eyes shone was not because of his handsome appearance, but because of the curiosity of passers-by. Why did this ordinary man have such a woman by his side? Many men began to envy Liu Xun.
But Liu Xun, the person involved, felt like cursing. They were clearly choosing clothes for themselves, but these two women actually started shopping first, and seemed to be getting more and more excited as they shopped, like the endless flow of the Yangtze River.
Never accompany a woman to go shopping or buy things, because women are the most irrational at this time.
All kinds of small packages were hung on Liu Xun's arms. At this moment, Liu Xun felt that he was no longer a person, but a shelf...
"Liu Xun, hurry up, do you think I look good in this outfit?" Chen Mengxi's excited voice came from the front. Liu Xun took a deep breath and could only walk forward helplessly.
But at this moment, a man and two women in front of him made Liu Xun frown. He recognized this man. No, to be precise, he had seen him in a photo, which was the photo that Chen Mengxi showed him on the plane.
Although there was a gap between the photo and reality, Liu Xun still recognized him at a glance. Many of the assignments he took in the United States were in the form of photos, so just by looking at the photo, Liu Xun could instantly remember all the features of the person's appearance.
I have to say, this man is really handsome, with sharp eyebrows, bright eyes, angular face, and a sunny smile on his face. He is comparable to Korean male stars and is definitely the perfect choice for a nymphomaniac prince charming.
At this time, the man seemed to have seen Chen Mengxi as well. He smiled and said something to the two women beside him, then walked towards Chen Mengxi.
"Cheng Tianlin is the only son of the Cheng Group's CEO, and Cheng Group is the long-term partner of Chen Group!" The man's information instantly replayed in Liu Xun's mind.
"Mengxi, what a coincidence, you are here too." Cheng Tianlin walked in front of Chen Mengxi, and then nodded to Li Mengyao, showing his gentlemanly demeanor.
When Chen Mengxi heard someone calling her, she turned around and looked at Cheng Tianlin. When she saw Cheng Tianlin, a hint of teasing appeared in the corner of her eyes, and she said softly: "Who are you? Do I know you?"
Cheng Tianlin didn't look strange when he heard this. He smiled again on his handsome face and said, "Sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Cheng Tianlin. Uncle Chen should have mentioned me to you, right?"
Chen Mengxi seemed to remember something, nodded, patted Cheng Tianlin on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I remember, you are Cheng Tianlin!"
Cheng Tianlin raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a charming smile, and was about to speak, but at this moment, Chen Mengxi's words also rang out, and his voice was particularly loud...
"Cheng Tianlin, why are you here when you can't just stay at home and sell pork?" At this point, Chen Mengxi patted Cheng Tianlin on the shoulder again, and then said: "Oh, you had plastic surgery? I really can't tell. Why didn't you tell me that you had plastic surgery? I can't recognize you anymore."
"... " Cheng Tianlin's face froze when he heard Chen Mengxi's words, and the passers-by around him also looked over here. The two women who were with Cheng Tianlin before also frowned, obviously feeling uncomfortable when they heard the word "plastic surgery".
Liu Xun shook his head and smiled. How could Chen Mengxi not know Cheng Tianlin? She was just deliberately insulting him. Although Chen Mengxi's IQ was not high, she was able to say insulting things naturally. (To be continued)
