Zhengyangmen: Don’t date Su Meng

"So many years have passed in the blink of an eye. As a teacher, I am very pleased to see that each of you has developed so well. Come on, let's raise our glasses together, and later you can come over one by one to tell me about your current situation so that I can be happy too." Dean Chen said enthusiastically, then raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.

Seeing this, the others also raised their glasses and toasted with President Chen.

However, their faces seemed a little restrained, as if they were students chosen by the teacher to answer questions. They had already started to prepare their speeches in their minds, ready to answer Dean Chen's questions.

Dean Chen happened to be arranged to sit at their table, and after introducing everyone to each other, Han Chunming and Guan Xiaoguan raised their glasses to toast Dean Chen.

"Come on, I'll drink three cups as punishment."

Although Dean Chen said so, how could Han Chunming really let this highly respected old dean drink three cups as punishment?

He quickly snatched the wine glass from Dean Chen's hand and explained anxiously: "You are simply making things difficult for me by doing this! If I watch you drink these three glasses of wine, how can I face you in the future?"

Seeing Han Chunming so determined, Dean Chen put down his wine glass as he wished, no longer mentioned the matter, and instead sent his sincere blessings to the two newlyweds.

Just then, Su Meng and Qin Yu came over with wine glasses.

Since they had prepared their remarks in advance, they were the first to step forward. After giving the position of Dean Chen to the two girls who came to congratulate him, Han Chunming turned around to deal with other guests who were about to leave.

"Qin Yu, we meet again!" Unexpectedly, Dean Chen actually knew Qin Yu. Hearing this, Qin Yu immediately smiled brightly and replied, "Yes, I wanted to chat with you last time, but because the leaders of the bureau were also there, I couldn't bring myself to ask."

"It doesn't matter. Work is more important. You are... Su Meng, right? Have you two been to my laboratory when you were in school?" Dean Chen asked.

Dean Chen's memory suddenly came back online at this moment, and he even recognized Su Meng.

In this way, the atmosphere between the three of them gradually became harmonious, and they talked enthusiastically.

However, Han Chunming did not participate in it, but stood up and saw off those special guests.

Time passed minute by minute, until two o'clock in the afternoon, when this grand banquet finally came to an end.

At this time, the Han family and the waiters began to clean up the table.

Although the seafood and other delicacies on the table had been swept away, there were still many leftover dishes on each table. Han's mother adhered to the concept of not wasting food and asked the hotel staff to help sort it out, and Guan Xiaoguan also took the initiative to pick up the plastic bag to help.

In that era, people generally did not have the habit of wasting food, and they would not feel ashamed for doing so. If someone did not cherish food, they would be criticized by others.

Finally, when Dean Chen left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Han Chunming agreed to visit him again in two days, and then watched him go away.

Han Chunming couldn't help but stretching his body and sighed, "It's finally over! I'm so tired today. Next time..."

However, before he finished speaking, a chill suddenly struck his back, causing him to shut his mouth immediately. Then, he noticed Guan Xiaoguan walking towards him with a sly smile on his face, and asked with a fake smile:

"What did you say?"

Han Chunming suddenly felt a chill running down his trouser legs to his forehead. He shook his head hastily and said:

"I didn't say anything. I just wanted to help our mother with work."

Unexpectedly, Han's mother blocked his retreat and waved her hand from a distance, saying, "You don't have to do anything. We're almost done."

Han Chunming was so frustrated that he could only look at Guan Xiaoguan as if begging for mercy, and said in a pitiful voice, "Wife, I was wrong."

"You'll be in trouble when you get home." Guan Xiaoguan glared at him fiercely and continued to help Guan's mother with the work.

The table was quickly cleaned up, and the group left the hotel with their belongings and returned to the courtyard. Han's mother asked Yang Huajian and the others to have tea, and then told the children to deliver food to other people in the compound.

Although some people may not value these foods, this is the unwritten rule in the compound. The amount or quality of the gift is not important, what matters is the expression of the heart.

This kind of thing did not belong to Han Chunming, the groom, so naturally Han Chunsheng and the others would go.

Yang Huajian and the others didn't stay long. After all, they had been out for a long time today and were now drunk. What they wanted to do most was to have a good sleep.

So, after two cups of tea, they got up and said goodbye.

Han Chunming was worried about their safety, so he asked Secretary Wang to drive them home. He knew that it was not appropriate to drink before driving, and not to drive after drinking. This was not only responsible for the lives of others, but also for his family.

Especially for them, they cannot add any uncertainty to their lives just for the sake of momentary pleasure.

Han Chunming personally stood up to see them off, and then walked leisurely towards the courtyard. However, just as he was about to reach the door of his house, he ran into Su Meng who was about to go out.

For a moment, he felt awkward and didn't know what to say.

In fact, one of the important reasons why Han Chunming moved out of the courtyard was to avoid frequent encounters with Su Meng. Although Guan Xiaoguan was very generous, she would definitely feel uncomfortable if she often saw her husband's ex-girlfriend.

As a man, Han Chunming felt that he should minimize the occurrence of such situations, so he chose to leave.

"Are you... okay?" Su Meng was the first to break the silence, her voice a little hoarse. Han Chunming scratched his head, trying to ease the tense atmosphere, and replied: "Well, I'm fine, how about you?"

Su Meng nodded gently to indicate that she was fine too.

Then, she explained that she was going to go shopping with Li Yuan and the others. Hearing this, Han Chunming smiled and thought, so that's it.

"Okay, I won't bother you anymore." Han Chunming responded and then walked towards home.

Su Meng didn't say anything, but her lowered eyes seemed a little dim.

The past is gone with the wind, but if it were that simple, there wouldn’t be so many infatuated men and resentful women. Han Chunming has let it go, but what about her?

Thinking of this, she sighed softly and walked away.
