Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

With Meng Chuan's "official announcement".

Meng Jianguo and Zhang Mei were as if struck by lightning, and they froze on the spot.

Even if Li Bai were alive today, at this moment...

He devoted his entire life's talent to this cause.

It is also difficult to describe the shock and surprise in the hearts of the two elders.

And just as the two of them seemed frozen in time, not knowing what to say for a moment.

Liu Qian felt as if a million ants were gnawing at her heart, causing her immense suffering.

She lowered her head, not daring to look Meng Jianguo and Zhang Mei in the eye.

Like a condemned prisoner waiting for the executioner's order at the execution ground, they were filled with trepidation and unease.

Liu Fu stood to the side, his usual composure replaced by tension.

Their daughter's lifelong happiness depends entirely on the attitudes of these two elders.

"You brat, why didn't you say so sooner!"

Suddenly, Zhang Mei broke the silence.

A smile of surprise, even brighter than the warm spring sun, bloomed on her face:

"Actually, every time I go to school and see Teacher Liu, I can't help but think about her."

"Such a beautiful and capable teacher, I wonder which lucky boy will be able to marry her in the future."

"Haha, I never imagined that one day, Teacher Liu would become my daughter-in-law."

"Old Meng, our family is really blessed this time."

Zhang Mei and Meng Jianguo were genuinely happy from the bottom of their hearts.

Zhang Mei is a typical rural woman who has never seen much of the world in her life.

Liu Qian is tall and has fair skin.

Standing in front of her, Zhang Mei always felt as if she were facing a celestial fairy who was unapproachable.

When they first learned that Liu Qian was the daughter of Liu, the richest man in the country, they didn't even dare to dream of it.

But now, his son is actually dating Liu's daughter.

This is an incredible stroke of luck, like a pie falling from the sky.

Is Liu Qian older than Meng Chuan?

In Zhang Mei's opinion, this was no big deal at all.

So what if she's a little older? An older wife is better at taking care of people.

Besides, she's the daughter of the richest man, and she's so beautiful.

My son has married into a wealthy family.

Only those who struggle to survive at the very bottom of society.

Only then did I realize how difficult it is for ordinary people to stand out from the crowd.

Meng Jianguo and his wife toil in the fields all year round, barely earning a meager 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.

They weren't very capable, so the biggest help they could give their son was to not hold him back.

With the help of Liu's family, they will no longer have to worry about their son's future.

For that reason alone, what does it matter if someone is a little older?

"Teacher Liu……"

Zhang Mei wanted to say something.

Liu Qian quickly and affectionately pulled away from Meng Chuan's hand, and like a spoiled little girl, she grabbed Zhang Mei's hand and said:

"Auntie, you can just call me Qian'er."

With Zhang Mei's affirmation, Liu Qian finally felt relieved.

Now is the time to make a good impression.

"Okay, okay, then I'll call you Qian'er from now on."

Zhang Mei patted Liu Qian's hand gently with satisfaction, and then said:

"I came in a hurry this time, and I didn't bring any valuable gifts."

"This is a bracelet that I've worn for over ten years. It was passed down to me by Xiaochuan's grandmother."

"I'll give it to you from now on. I hope you won't mind."

As she spoke, Zhang Mei carefully took off the bracelet from her wrist.

"Auntie, this is too precious."

Liu Qian was flattered. She knew that although the bracelet was not worth much money, it carried more than ten years of Zhang Mei's life.

Its significance far exceeds its intrinsic value.

"It's not heavy at all, only my daughter-in-law can wear it."

Zhang Mei hurriedly put the bracelet on Liu Qian's wrist, then looked at Meng Chuan with a serious expression:

"Xiao Chuan, I've decided on this daughter-in-law, and you're not allowed to bully her. Otherwise, don't blame me for disowning you as my son."

Meng Chuan feigned anger, deliberately pouting as he said:

"Mom! Everyone else forgets their mother after getting married. How come you're the one who forgets your son after getting a daughter-in-law?"

Meng Chuan's words immediately made everyone burst into laughter.

The atmosphere instantly became relaxed and harmonious.

Liu Qian blushed and said shyly:

"Auntie, Meng Chuan is very good to me. He won't bully me."

"That's fine, that's fine."

Zhang Mei nodded with a smile.

"Come on, everyone, please take your seats."

Liu Fu stepped in to make arrangements at the right time, and his worries were finally put to rest.

He pulled Meng Jianguo to sit in the main seat, poured wine for Meng Jianguo, and praised Meng Chuan with a beaming smile:

"Actually, I'm quite satisfied with Xiaochuan. He's steady and measured. I'm honored to entrust my daughter to him; I feel very reassured."

"It should be said that Xiao Chuan is lucky to be associated with Liu, the richest man..."

“My dear in-law, we’re family, so there’s no need for formalities. Just call me Brother Liu.”

Liu Fu corrected him with a smile.

"Alright! I'm just a country bumpkin, not very good with words. Everything's in the wine, Brother Liu, let's have a drink."

Meng Jianguo laughed heartily, finally no longer as reserved as before.

Meng Jianguo usually drinks about 100ml of liquor at home when he has nothing to do.

Now, with Liu Fu, who has extensive experience in drinking, they drank one glass after another.

The drinking session lasted until the afternoon, and Meng Jianguo started to slur his words and swayed unsteadily.

In contrast, Liu Fu remained calm and his eyes were clear.

It was as if I had just drunk plain water, not alcohol.

Meng Chuan, who was standing by, became increasingly alarmed as he watched.

Because he suddenly discovered a huge secret.

Not long ago, at this same table, Meng Chuan, Liu Fu, and Liu Qian drank less than a bottle of baijiu.

Meng Chuan and Liu Qian were both completely drunk.

Liu Fu also seemed to be slurring his words and speaking incoherently.

Then came the embarrassing scene where Meng Chuan and Liu Qian were caught sleeping in the lobby by Liu Dong.

But today, Liu Fu and his father, Meng Jianguo, drank two whole bottles of Moutai.

Moreover, Liu Fu, as the enthusiastic host, drank even more.

My dad has always had a good alcohol tolerance, but he was already so drunk he was staggering around.

Liu Fu, however, acted as if nothing had happened.

That old fox, it turns out he was pretending to be drunk on purpose...

After a simple engagement banquet attended by only two families, Zhang Mei wanted to take her leave.

Meng Chuan and Liu Qian escorted Meng Jianguo and Zhang Mei to the villa entrance.

"Mom, look how drunk Dad is, he shouldn't come back today."

Meng Chuan tried to persuade him to stay.

"That won't do. Hotels in this county town are too expensive."

Zhang Mei lowered her voice, but Liu Qian, who was standing next to her, could still hear her.

Although Zhang Mei is now considered a wealthy person.

However, the frugal habits of rural people are deeply ingrained and difficult to change.

"Mom! I bought a house next door too, so we don't need to stay in a hotel."

Meng Chuan explained.

"What? The houses next door... are so expensive here!"

Zhang Mei stared in surprise.

She didn't have a concrete concept.

But just by looking at the design, scale, and beautiful surroundings of these villas, you can tell they must be quite expensive.

It seems that Liu, the richest man in China, has been helping his son and Qian'er get together quite a bit behind the scenes.

"Auntie, Uncle is a bit drunk, so let's not go back. Listen to Meng Chuan, we can just walk there."

Liu Qian also tried to persuade her.

"Okay... okay!"

Zhang Mei eventually gave in.

Liu Qian happily pulled Zhang Mei along ahead, like an inseparable mother and daughter.

Meng Chuan struggled to support his father, Meng Jianguo, as they followed behind.

Upon entering Meng Chuan's villa, Zhang Mei was once again stunned by the sight of a villa with the same layout but even more luxurious decorations.

The son had just started dating Liu's daughter, and she already gifted him such an expensive house.

This deeply moved Zhang Mei, and in front of Liu Qian, she solemnly instructed Meng Chuan:

“Son, you must treat Qian’er well. If you dare to be unfaithful, you will be sorry to Qian’er, and I will break your legs.”

"Mom, don't worry! Your son isn't that kind of person. You two sit down first, I'll take Dad upstairs to rest."

As he spoke, Meng Chuan laboriously helped his father upstairs to the second floor and settled him in bed.

Meng Chuan was just about to go downstairs when his phone suddenly rang.

It was Shen Yue calling.

"Same as always, we'll meet in an hour. I'll be at your doorstep soon."
