Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

Every time Meng Chuan comes back, it seems to be right around mealtime.

Back inside, Zhang Mei immediately got to work:

"Xiao Chuan, you and your dad chat for a bit. Dinner's ready. Mom's going to cook a few dishes. You and your dad can have a drink later. When you're not home, your dad always says he can't find anyone to drink with!"

As Zhang Mei spoke, she carried the vegetable basket to the kitchen.

However, before leaving, Zhang Mei kept giving her husband, Meng Jianguo, meaningful glances.

Meng Jianguo felt a wave of bitterness wash over him.

Although the couple had already agreed that they would have a serious talk with their son when he came back.

But with Meng Chuan's sudden return, Meng Jianguo was momentarily at a loss for words.

The most important thing is that we can't find a topic to start the conversation with.

After all, my son has grown up, and he is very opinionated and promising.

As the father, he didn't know how to bring it up!

"Dad! When will the new house be finished? It's not right for you two to live in this makeshift house every day!"

It was Meng Chuan who spoke first.

When it comes to the new house, Meng Jianguo has a lot to say.

He first introduced the main structure of the house to Meng Chuan.

We should be able to move in in two or three months at the latest.

He was very satisfied with the house, especially praising the construction team that Liu Fu had found as very reliable.

This can be seen as Meng Jianguo laying the groundwork for the next topic!

However, before I could even finish my introduction, my mom had already prepared three dishes and a soup.

Steam rose from the table, and the braised pork belly, glistening with oil, looked incredibly appetizing.

The fresh aroma of steamed fish wafts straight to your nose.

Another one is the green vegetables that my mom grew herself.

I have to say, my mom's home-cooked dishes are pretty good.

"Dad! I'll go get the wine. Your son will have a good drink with you today."

As Meng Chuan spoke, he walked towards his parents' room.

Meng Chuan knew that his father liked to hide his treasured Red Star Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor) under the bed.

Have you talked to your son?

Seeing Meng Chuan leave, Zhang Mei immediately whispered to Meng Jianguo.

Meng Jianguo gave a wry smile:

"But we haven't had time yet, have we?"

"You...how can you be so useless?"

Zhang Mei was furious.

But seeing that Meng Chuan had already come out with the wine, Zhang Mei immediately put on a big smile:

"Xiao Chuan, eat something first before you drink! Here, have some meat."

Zhang Mei smiled and picked up the largest piece of braised pork, putting it into her son's bowl.

"Mom, why are you suddenly being so polite to your son?"

Meng Chuan looked at Zhang Mei with some confusion.

I had a feeling that my parents were acting strange this time I came back.

"Your mother cares about you, and you don't appreciate it? I've never received the kind of treatment your mother does."

Meng Jianguo said to Meng Chuan in an annoyed tone.

"Hehe, thank you, Mom!"

Meng Chuan smiled.

It seems that it's true; the longer the time it takes to return, the deeper the feelings become.

Meng Chuan then spent the rest of the time having dinner and drinking with his parents.

After a few drinks, Meng Chuan's face began to flush slightly.

Zhang Mei doesn't drink, but her eyes kept glancing at Meng Jianguo.

Meng Jianguo picked up his wine glass, his Adam's apple bobbing up and down, a bitter feeling welling up inside him.

You don't dare to talk to our son, so you insist that I be the "bad guy."

Of course, Meng Jianguo wouldn't dare say that.

Now that his wife has given the order, he has no choice but to comply.

After taking a sip of wine to bolster his courage, Meng Jianguo suddenly slammed his glass down.

"Xiao Chuan, what's going on with that Yingdie girl? You and Qian'er are engaged, you can't... do anything reckless!"

Meng Jianguo really couldn't find any more tactful way to handle the situation.

Let's just get straight to the point.

Sure enough, he still came.

Meng Chuan felt helpless.

But while eating, he said:

"Dad, Mom, Yingdie is just my adopted sister, don't overthink it."

Meng Chuan originally wanted to tell his parents the truth.

But if I tell my parents directly, they definitely won't accept it.

Moreover, Yingdie also said that she was willing to be Meng Chuan's sister, so Yingdie will just have to make do for a while longer.

"Sister-in-law? Son, your father and I may not be very knowledgeable, but we're not senile, are we? Do you even believe what you're saying?"

Once the conversation started, Zhang Mei stopped hiding anything.

She met Yingdie via video.

As a woman, how could she not see through whether she was a god-sister or a lover?

"Alright then! Since Yingdie is here too, I'll call her in and she can tell you in person!"

Meng Chuan knew that no matter how he explained, it would be useless.

Wouldn't it be more credible if Yingdie herself explained it?

Meng Chuan was sitting right near the door, and he waved to the car.

Meng Chuan believed that Ying Die would definitely see it.

"What? You brought him back? You brat, you..."

Zhang Mei immediately became very anxious.

Meng Chuan's car was parked in the yard.

Because of the concealment provided by bulletproof glass, it is impossible to see inside from the outside.

They really didn't expect that Yingdie had been in the car the whole time.

As they were talking, Yingdie opened the car door and got out.

The evening breeze lifted the hem of her dress, and she looked absolutely stunning at that moment.

Even Meng Jianguo and Zhang Mei couldn't help but sigh inwardly:

What a beautiful girl.

But when he thought of all the good things Liu Qian had done, and how the Liu family had contributed their labor and even advanced funds to build a house for them, he couldn't help but think of all the good things Liu Qian had done.

Zhang Mei's face darkened.

It's one thing for my son to play outside, but what's the point of bringing him home?

"Hello, Dad and Mom, I..."

Yingdie walked in, appearing reserved and cautious.

It would have been better if she hadn't spoken; the moment she opened her mouth, Zhang Mei became even angrier.

Previously, no matter whether it was a foreign girl or an internet celebrity, Meng Chuan never dared to call her "Mom" right away.

This girl is shameless.

Looking at Yingdie's delicate face and slender figure, Zhang Mei's face instantly darkened to the point of being shriveled.

"Snapped!"

Zhang Mei slammed her chopsticks on the table:

"Girl, I'm not your mother! And I will never become your mother! What's wrong with being so young? My son has a fiancée, do you know that?"

Zhang Mei was so angry because she felt that Ying Die was "officially announcing" her relationship to Ying Die.

Or rather, Yingdie is deliberately asserting her sovereignty over Mengchuan.

This is something Zhang Mei cannot tolerate.

She only has one daughter-in-law in her heart, and that is Liu Qian.

Yingdie was clearly hurt by Zhang Mei's strong reaction and harsh words.

Her lips trembled slightly, her eyes quickly reddened, and she gripped the hem of her clothes tightly with both hands.

But he couldn't utter a single word.

Meng Chuan could no longer sit still; he stood up abruptly, his voice rising involuntarily:

"Mom! When did you become so harsh? She used to be my bodyguard, she protected me so many times..."

Meng Chuan already felt wronged and indebted to Ying Die.

He wanted to avoid trouble and asked Yingdie to come down and explain in person.

This way, he'll have less to say.

Who knew that my mom would say such hurtful things as soon as the DVD arrived?

"Me, mean-spirited? Meng Chuan, do you know you're talking about Ma Shang? You're talking about your mother like that because of some random woman who came from nowhere?"

Zhang Mei's eyes reddened with anger.

Her precious son actually said such hurtful things.

"Mom, I'm sorry, I..."

"I'm not your mother! I sob... I don't have a son like you!"

Zhang Mei was so angry that she cried, and then turned around and went back to her room.

Meng Chuan was completely stunned!
