Liu Meilan returned to the island with some extremely delicious seafood.

When I got home, I saw Grandpa and Fu Chen teaching the parrot to speak.

"salute!"

"Hello, Chief!"

"May you be happy and prosperous!"

“Step by step, rise!”

……

The parrot at home seems to have a child living in its body and learns to speak very quickly.

Since Fu Chen said "Meilan is so nice" to the parrot and the parrot learned it, it was like opening the parrot's chatterbox. Since then, it has learned more and more words. Although each sentence has at most 4 words, its vocabulary has become richer and richer.

"Meilan is so nice!" When the parrot saw Liu Meilan, it immediately shook its head to greet her while standing on the branch.

Liu Meilan was in a very good mood when she saw the parrot greet her, "Hello to you too!"

Fu Chen saw Liu Meilan and hurried over to take the things from Liu Meilan's hand. "Are you tired?"

"Not tired, it's just a short distance!" Liu Meilan said with a smile, "Our parrot has learned a lot of new words recently!"

Fu Chen nodded repeatedly, "Yes, very smart! Even the little parrot has started to speak, which is really rare."

At this time, Tang Xiaoyu also came in and looked at the parrots eagerly, "Meilan, why are your parrots so smart and can talk? My parrots are fat and strong, shiny and slippery, but they can't talk!"

"My grandfather, my grandmother, my parents would teach the parrot to speak whenever they had time, but the parrot was like a mute and could not learn no matter how hard they tried. One time, my grandfather was so angry that he threatened the parrot that he would stew it if it could not speak again!"

"This parrot is so arrogant. Not only has it been silent recently, it also pooped on my grandfather's head, making my grandfather so angry that he stomped his feet! My father wanted to break the parrot's neck, but my grandfather stopped him. After all, he had developed feelings for it and couldn't bear to let it go!"

Liu Meilan smiled, "Be patient, maybe it will work!"

Tang Xiaoyu said with emotion, "Let's try it first! If it doesn't work, I'll buy two more for Grandpa next year! But I won't take them away then. I'll keep them at your house. I'll take them away when we talk later!"

Fu Chen raised his eyebrows slightly, "I thought you would want this little parrot!"

Tang Xiaoyu glared at Fu Chen and said, "I'm not that heartless! If this family of three takes the little parrot away, the parrot's father and mother will definitely be very sad."

"Oh!" Fu Chen nodded, "You are quite sympathetic! Did Ye Qiang follow?"

Tang Xiaoyu shook his head. "He has something to do today, so he will come tomorrow! Then you and Meilan can have dinner at our house! I told you in advance, don't come by noon tomorrow, or I will have to call you."

Fu Chen smiled and said, "If someone invites me to dinner, of course I'm happy to go!"

In addition to exercising and keeping fit, he also reads books every day. To be honest, it's a bit boring. Especially when Liu Meilan goes fishing, his life becomes particularly peaceful.

Just then, the postman's voice came from outside.

"Is Fu Chen here?" asked the postman.

Fu Chen was quite surprised, "Who wrote to me?" His family often called him, but they didn't write him many letters.

"It was sent from Shenzhen. It's amazing that they still send letters when it's so close." The postman was also quite curious and took out a pen for Fu Chen to sign.

"Thank you!" Fu Chen signed, took the letter, opened it, and was slightly stunned, "Qian Kun and Dong Yunyun are engaged?"

Liu Meilan asked: "Are the two of them not suitable?"

Fu Chen smiled and said, "It's suitable, of course it's suitable! As long as Qian Kun and the Qian family think it's profitable, it will be suitable."

Hearing this, Liu Meilan felt that there was something else behind the words, "What do you mean?"

Fu Chen replied: "When Li Anna was engaged to Qian Kun, the Li family was stronger than the Qian family, so Qian Kun supported Li Anna so much. Since the Li family got into trouble, the Qian family took over all your family's connections, and now they have stepped down."

Liu Meilan was shocked. "So the Qian family is also interested in the Dong family this time?"

Fu Chen pondered for a moment and nodded, "Yes, although the Dong family does not have much strength in the military, it is quite strong in the political arena."

"In short, even if Qian Kun is engaged, don't get involved with them. The Qian family has no bottom line when doing things. Once something goes wrong, they will devour the other party's strength more brutally than outsiders."

Liu Meilan scratched her head. "Oh, no wonder they say the higher you go up, the more cruel things become! Now think about it, your grandfather did that because he didn't trust the Liu family, but he definitely didn't take advantage of them."

Hearing this, Fu Chen blushed and said, "I'm sorry!"

"You don't have to say sorry to me. After all, you don't want this to happen!" Liu Meilan replied with a smile, "If one day my parents don't allow me to marry you, I will also seriously consider ending this relationship."

Fu Chen was stunned, "Don't you want to hold on for a while?"

Liu Meilan smiled and patted Fu Chen's shoulder. "My parents never force me to do anything. When they do, it's definitely to protect me! Besides, your family will stop you at that time. Why should we go against the wishes of the two families?"

Liu Meilan didn't understand before, but now she understands a little. If she insists on doing it under such circumstances, she will not only hurt herself, but also her family.

Fu Chen was silent, "Meilan, do you love me?"

"If I don't love you, how can I fall in love with you?" Liu Meilan said with a smile, "It's just that I won't love someone like a moth to a flame! You can say I'm rational or you can say I'm heartless, but I'm just like that. I don't want to lie to you and say I love you to death and I can't live without you!"

After all, she has had a lifetime of experience, and no one can love more than herself. If loving a man would hurt herself, Liu Meilan would definitely give up and run away.

Fu Chen smiled bitterly and said, "But I love you, I can give up everything for you!"

"Fu Chen, please don't do this. I can't bear that kind of love." Liu Meilan shook her head. She smiled gently, but there were tears in her eyes. "I can't bear that kind of love either. Love yourself well. Don't love me without reservation. That's unfair to you."

This is Liu Meilan's true words. Fu Chen is very good, there is no doubt about that, but no matter how good he is, he can never surpass Liu Meilan's love for herself.

Seeing this, Fu Chen patted Liu Meilan's head gently and said, "Okay, let's not talk about such heavy issues. Let everything take its course, and everything will be fine."

Fu Chen's determination stems from the fact that he once hovered on the brink of life and death. He knows that he was able to come back to life because of Liu Meilan's support. If he can't marry Liu Meilan in this life, he will be alone for the rest of his life.

"I hope so." Liu Meilan nodded. The future might not be smooth sailing, but it was not bad now. Worrying about the future would only add to her troubles.

Tang Xiaoyu was teasing the parrot. Seeing Liu Meilan and Fu Chen standing at the door and not coming in, he came over and asked, "What are you talking about?"

"We are talking about attending Qian Kun's engagement. Fu Chen and I, and you and Ye Qiang, we will go together." Liu Meilan said with a smile, not wanting to talk about emotional issues with Tang Xiaoyu. After all, this is a matter between two people and two families.

Tang Xiaoyu smiled: "Meilan and I have left our invitations in the city, and Ye Qiang has received them too. As the new business elites in Shenzhen, let's go and join in the fun and see how their engagement ceremony is held."

"Then it's settled." Liu Meilan said with a smile. She was not afraid of Qian Kun, so there was naturally no need for her to hide from him.

Qian Kun is from the north after all, and his childhood friends and relatives are all in Beijing, but in order to expand their network in the south, the Qian family decided to hold the engagement ceremony in Shenzhen, and then hold the wedding in the base camp in Beijing when the time comes.

During this time, Liu Meilan went out to sea twice and the seafood she caught was of very good quality. Liu Meilan did not pay attention to other things and was only focused on her career.

As for the second brother Liu Yiwen, he has been very proud recently because he found a sunken ship on the seabed.

The seabed salvage tools we purchased were extremely expensive, but they were very useful. After more than a month of hard work, the utensils on the seabed were finally salvaged.

Many porcelains have been damaged by corrosion of their outer packaging, but there are dozens of large boxes here, and I don't know what kind of craftsmanship was used. The outside is covered with barnacles and some parasites, but the boxes are still intact.

Anything that can be packed in such a nice box must be extremely precious.

Experts were also curious and studied how to open the box without damaging the items inside.

These experts like things with historical background the most, but when these boxes are opened, they are full of various colorful gems.

The experts immediately lost interest. They thought they would rather spend their time studying porcelain and gold and silver utensils. Some of the gold and silver utensils were corroded by the seabed and needed to be repaired. Doing these would give them a sense of accomplishment.

These experts were not interested, but for Liu Yiwen, this was a good thing and valuable! He found a gem identification expert, and after careful identification, they were all extremely pure and high-quality gems.

The jadeite that has been mined is crystal clear, green, and red, and is now intact after being specially packaged. Whether it is made into jewelry or sold directly, it can make a lot of money.

Liu Yiwen only saw the money in such a good thing, but he had a sister, a sister-in-law, and soon he would have a girlfriend. Liu Yiwen called Liu Meilan directly and the call went through.

At this time, Liu Meilan had just gotten off the fishing boat and returned to the company cafeteria to eat. When she received Liu Yiwen's call, Liu Meilan was very surprised, "Second brother, it's already 11 o'clock in the evening, why haven't you slept yet?"

Liu Yiwen smiled and replied, "I heard from Xiaoyu that you will be back around this time! Have a good rest tonight, and when you are free tomorrow, come to the company. I have something good for you."

Hearing this, Liu Meilan became more curious, "What good stuff?"

"We salvaged them from the seabed," Liu Yiwen replied. "We have a lot of gems, colorful and very beautiful. Come over and we'll discuss how to deal with them."

Liu Meilan's eyes lit up and she quickly agreed, "Of course, I'll go over after breakfast tomorrow."

Hearing that his sister liked it very much, Liu Yiwen was also very happy, "Okay, I'll wait for you. After we finish looking at the gems, let's think about how to operate these things. When we're done, I'll go back to the island with you and introduce a friend to you."

Compared to those gems, Liu Meilan was more curious about "that friend" that her second brother mentioned.

"Second brother, who is your friend?" Liu Meilan asked.

Liu Yiwen smiled and said, "My mother's friend Aunt Chen introduced her to me. I often go back to the island now and have met her three times. She is very beautiful and talented. By the way, you also know her. She is the granddaughter of Doctor Wang. She has been studying Chinese medicine with Doctor Wang since she was a child."

"Wang Miaoya?" Liu Meilan once discussed medicinal materials with Doctor Wang. There was a quiet girl next to her, working and studying silently. Whenever Doctor Wang needed something, as long as he mentioned it, Wang Miaoya would find it and bring it to him quickly. Liu Meilan was deeply impressed by Wang Miaoya.

"Hey, Meilan, you know her?" Liu Yiwen asked in surprise, "How do you know Wang Miaoya?"

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "I often communicate with Doctor Wang, so of course I am very interested in his disciple. She is very fair and pretty. Although she is not stunningly beautiful, she is very attractive."

Liu Yiwen nodded repeatedly over the phone. "Yes, yes, yes. She has a light herbal scent on her body, which is much better than those perfumes. She speaks softly to patients, and even patients with bad tempers will gradually calm down..."

Liu Yiwen seemed to have opened up a conversation box, and he talked to Liu Meilan about Wang Miaoya. Liu Meilan could hear that her second brother was interested, and she was quite happy. "Second brother, since you think Wang Miaoya is good, and Wang Miaoya is willing to go out on a date with you, it proves that she still has some feelings for you. You have to work hard! It's very late now, I have to go back to bed, see you tomorrow."

Liu Yiwen nodded, "Okay, see you tomorrow. It's just in time for you to help me pick out some good gemstones, and I'll make some jewelry for Wang Miaoya."

"Yes!" Liu Meilan agreed, hung up the phone, and ate quickly. After drinking the porridge, she felt warm and comfortable all over.

The next morning, Liu Meilan woke up and found Tang Xiaoyu still sleeping. Last night, Tang Xiaoyu was busy until three in the morning before he rested.

Liu Meilan cooked some porridge and put it in the rice cooker, then went out to buy some breakfast and put it on the table. When Tang Xiaoyu woke up, they could eat.

After having breakfast, Liu Meilan drove straight to her second brother Liu Yiwen's company. When Liu Yiwen saw his sister coming, he took her to the warehouse to check the gems in the safe.

"Brother, we've made a fortune!" Liu Meilan was surprised. The quality of these gems was very good. "Now what are you going to do with these gems?"

Liu Yiwen looked at the dozens of boxes and was in a dilemma. "If we sell these things directly, there will be too many and the price will be affected. If we make them into jewelry ourselves, we may not be able to sell them at a high price. We have to cooperate with foreign luxury brands to sell the jewelry we make at a high price."

Liu Meilan understood what her second brother said. "There's nothing we can do about it. After all, luxury goods originated in Europe. Products designed by famous designers are more sought after by the rich! If we want to make money from foreigners, we have to follow their rules."

Liu Yiwen nodded, "I think so too, so I want to introduce a luxury brand. They design the products, we find craftsmen to make them, and then sell them in Europe and the United States."

Liu Meilan asked: "Second brother, you only think about making money. Have you ever thought about your identity and your family? Will this bring trouble to father and the Liu family?"
