A great director who grew up happily

"Aunt Xiaomeng, what do you want to talk to me about?" Chen Jinnian said after answering the phone.

Xiao Meng on the other end of the phone was obviously hesitant. After hesitating for a long time, she said, "Jinnian, um, it's nothing special. I just wanted to ask if you have seen Lao Qiao recently?"

"Uncle Qiao?" Chen Jinnian was about to continue when he realized the game had revived, so he switched it to hands-free mode and put it on the table. "I've seen him before. I saw him once at the planetarium half a month ago, and once today in the neighborhood."

"You saw him in the community today. That's impossible. He hasn't come back to live here for more than ten days." Xiao Meng said doubtfully.

"Ah, I haven't been home for more than ten days. Oh no, the community I'm talking about is Shuxiang Yayuan." Chen Jinnian quickly explained.

"What is Old Qiao doing in Shuxiang Yayuan?" Xiao Meng said while suppressing her anger. Recently, Qiao Weidong has been saying that he is busy and has a big client to accompany. She wants to know who this big client is today.

"Accompany Yingzi. He is renovating the house in Shuxiang Yayuan. Why, didn't Uncle Qiao tell you? That shouldn't be the case." After saying this, Chen Jinnian came back to his senses.

It turned out that Xiao Meng called him to ask about Qiao Weidong's whereabouts.

At the same time, he thought, "Could it be that Xiao Meng didn't know what Qiao Weidong did at Shuxiang Yayuan? That's incredible. He even put the wedding on the agenda and threw the woman aside. He's really bold."

"No, no, Old Qiao told me." Xiao Meng sat on the bed, her hands tightly gripping the sheets, but she still maintained a smile on her face. "But he didn't tell me the specific unit. Jinnian, can you tell Auntie?"

"I don't know about that either. They bought several houses back then. I only know that the house Uncle Qiao took was in Building 3."

Chen Jinnian had just finished speaking when he was caught and killed by the opposing jungler in the river. He cursed in frustration, "I'm catching your dad."

"Jinnian, what did you say? What about your father?" Xiao Meng was thinking about something and didn't hear clearly what he said.

"Nothing, nothing." Chen Jinnian hurriedly covered up, forgetting he was still on the phone, and then quickly said, "You can ask Yingzi directly for the specific location."

Qiao Yingzi is not an unreasonable person. She has long accepted that her father has a girlfriend and knows that they are about to get married. If Xiao Meng asks, Qiao Yingzi will not refuse to tell her.

"Okay, Jinnian, I understand. Thank you."

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Meng curled up her legs, rested her chin on her knees, and stared at the bed sheets with lifeless eyes.

She remembered that at noon three days ago, she suddenly met her college classmate Nanfeng.

That day in the restaurant, with the melodious and soothing music playing, the two chatted about many things that happened in college, talking and laughing.

Later, Nan Feng mustered up the courage to ask, "I heard from my classmates that you are getting married."

"Yes." Xiao Meng picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

"Why? He's an older man, divorced, and has a grown-up daughter." Nanfeng continued to ask.

Xiao Meng looked at him in disbelief, "If you are investigating me, then today is not just a chance encounter with me." After saying that, she picked up her backpack and was about to leave, but then Nanfeng's words made her stop.

"Are you really sure that man loves you?"

This is actually the question she has always wanted to avoid. She urged Qiao Weidong to get married and wanted to have a baby with him. In fact, she found that she has always been an insignificant existence in Qiao Weidong's world.

And Qiao Weidong did exactly that, always wanting to avoid these two things.

"Of course I'm sure he loves me." Xiao Meng said in a firm tone, but there was also a hint of weakness in her tone.

"If he loves you, why doesn't he marry you as soon as possible? You are not worthy of him in that way. He keeps dragging it out because he doesn't want to take responsibility." Nanfeng said sadly.

He was a little confused as to why Xiao Meng had become what she is now. Could it be that she really couldn't see the true face of that man?

"You don't need to meddle in my affairs. We will get married soon." After saying this, she left the restaurant regardless of Nanfeng's attempts to keep her.

But the matter did not end like this. In the past few days, she often wondered whether Nanfeng was right or not, and whether it was what she had always been unwilling to face.

In addition to the conversation she just had with Chen Jinnian, Xiao Meng wanted a definite answer more and more, instead of dragging it out like this, year after year.

They had been together for four years, and now she was thirty-six and didn't want to wait any longer.

After Xiao Meng made up her mind, she found Qiao Yingzi from the chat history, edited a message and sent it to her. At the same time, she began to organize her own things in the house.

Chen Jinnian didn't know that his words had irritated Xiao Meng's sensitive nerves. He only knew that the junglers he was matched with tonight were all orphan junglers. As soon as he, the top laner, pushed the line, the opponent would chase him to death.

After finishing two boring laning games, he took out a Hitchcock movie and started watching it. His ability level was higher now, and he needed more experience. When necessary, he would also do some self-cultivation to increase his experience points.

After watching a movie from beginning to end, Chen Jinnian gained 50 experience points and felt satisfied. It was already very good and could be equivalent to two days of check-in.

The next day, he arrived at the classroom on time as usual, and saw Qiao Yingzi having morning reading with an expressionless face, so he asked casually.

"Did you finish it last night?"

After hearing this, Qiao Yingzi let out a long sigh, and her face instantly fell. "You did what my father said this time, and barely escaped death. If it happens again, you'll be waiting for me to collect your body."

"Hey, what are you talking about? Go to your dad's house less often, and your grades will improve next time." Chen Jinnian said quickly. He didn't expect that Qiao Yingzi was so afraid of Song Qian.

I hope it's just talk.

"Has Taozi already told you?" Qiao Yingzi turned around and looked at him. "If I don't relax for a while, I'm afraid I won't make it to the college entrance exam. I wish I could speed up the time and take the exam tomorrow. That way, I'll be free."

"Haha." He shook his head and smiled.

"What are you laughing at?" Qiao Yingzi glared at him.

"Nothing funny. If that's what you're thinking, I recommend a movie, 'Remote Control of Life.' After all, if you want to join CNSA and participate in aerospace projects, the ones you've encountered now are just appetizers."

After Chen Jinnian finished speaking, he took out a Chinese textbook from the hole in the table, opened it and started reading.

Qiao Yingzi ignored his words. How could she possibly watch a movie under Song Qian's nose? Instead, she lowered her voice and said, "You know what happened last night, right?"

"I know." He answered without thinking, "I asked Aunt Xiaomeng to ask you."

"What, Xiao Meng sent me a message because of you?" Qiao Yingzi said with her eyes wide open. She had never expected that he had something to do with this.

He frowned slightly, looked up at Qiao Yingzi, who looked surprised, and asked, "That's not what you're talking about."

"Brother, of course not."
