Reborn in 2014: A One-Man Tycoon

The next day, when Ruan Shengnan drove to Chen Meng Supermarket, Chen Yiyi had just opened the door.

Because she has to take her child to school every morning.

There weren't many people in the supermarket at that time.

Chen Yiyi, wearing a beige knit sweater, stood behind the cashier, smiling as she packed a bag for an elderly blonde woman.

Sunlight streamed through the glass window and fell on the ends of her slightly curled hair, creating a soft halo.

"Sister Chen."

As Ruan Shengnan walked over, she casually tidied up the tilted potato chip boxes on the shelf next to her.

Because they had spent a lot of time together, Ruan Shengnan and Chen Yiyi had a pretty good relationship.

It was Chen Yiyi who forced Ruan Shengnan not to call her Elder Chen.

When Chen Yiyi looked up and saw Ruan Shengnan, her eyes instantly crinkled into crescent moons with laughter:

"Shengnan? What brings you here today?"

She turned to the shop assistant next to her and said a few words before walking towards Ruan Shengnan.

"I came to check on them. Have the children had any adverse reactions after their vaccinations?"

Ruan Shengnan changed the subject.

Chen Yiyi and Ruan Shengnan chatted for a while.

He looked at Ruan Shengnan with suspicion:

"Shengnan, is there something you want to see me about?"

Chen Yiyi and Ruan Shengnan are like best friends.

They know each other quite well.

Ruan Shengnan has been rambling on about random things all day.

It's obvious that something's wrong.

"The young master has arrived, but he has been busy with some matters."

Ruan Shengnan lowered her voice and spoke tentatively.

Chen Yiyi was stunned at first, then covered her mouth in surprise.

Those who know her think she is a beautiful, cheerful, and always smiling girl.

But only Chen Yiyi herself knows.

Throughout the long night, she missed Meng Chuan terribly.

But she always restrained herself.

She didn't allow herself to call Meng Chuan first.

I will not disturb Meng Chuan's life.

After all, Meng Chuan was a celebrity all over the world during this period.

Even the video of Meng Chuan and Liu Qian's wedding went viral.

She witnessed firsthand how the man she loved most and her best friend became the happiest people in the world.

She offered her blessings with tears in her eyes.

This further strengthened her resolve not to disturb Meng Chuan's life.

But upon hearing that Meng Chuan had come to the United States, she couldn't contain her excitement.

Did he come by himself?

Chen Yiyi said in a trembling voice.

If Meng Chuan brought Liu Qian with him.

Then she could only hide.

She absolutely could not shatter Meng Chuan and Liu Qian's happy and peaceful life with her own hands.

"Young Master came on his own."

Ruan Shengnan nodded and said:

"But the young master is a little worried that the children won't be able to accept him!"

"No, I told them their father is the greatest hero in the world, and now the kids pester me to tell them stories about their father every night. If the kids knew, they would be even happier than I am."

Chen Yiyi said hurriedly.

As if afraid that Meng Chuan would misunderstand.

Chen Yiyi is indeed exceptionally protective of Meng Chuan's image.

When lying in bed at night telling the children bedtime stories, I keep making up stories: Dad is a great hero who fights bad guys overseas.

Once all the bad guys are driven away, I'll come back and bring them candy made of stars.

"Zhishu drew a picture yesterday, saying she wanted to give it to her father as a gift."

At this point, Chen Yiyi suddenly laughed, but tears rolled down her cheeks.

Ruan Shengnan handed over a tissue and said softly:

"Young Master also wants to see the children. He originally planned to arrange it for the weekend, but considering your situation..."

"If possible, let's do it tonight!"

Chen Yiyi immediately wiped away her tears, her tone urgent yet firm:

“The children get out of school early, so I’ll go back and get ready now. Shengnan, could you tell him for me that we’re waiting for him at home for dinner?”

As Chen Yiyi spoke, she suddenly became busy.

She walked quickly to the mirror, tidied her slightly messy hair, and blushed.

"I need to go back and get some new clothes for the kids. They haven't even worn the little suit and princess dress I bought last time yet..."

Seeing her incoherent ramblings, Ruan Shengnan couldn't help but smile:

"I'll make the arrangements right away and make sure the young master arrives on time."

At six o'clock in the evening, Chen Yiyi was busy in the kitchen of her apartment.

The children have been brought back.

But her busy figure always seemed distracted.

They often knock over bottles and jars.

They even forget to add salt when cooking.

Fortunately, her Filipino maid was helping her.

He always manages to make up for anything she missed.

Soon, the aroma of buttered roasted chicken filled the apartment.

Meng Zhishu, dressed in a navy blue suit, paced restlessly in the living room, clutching a crayon drawing tightly in her hand.

Meng Zhiyun, dressed in a white princess dress, sat obediently on the sofa, her little leather shoes making a soft tapping sound on the floor.

"Madam, let me do it! You go and rest for a while."

The Filipino maid smiled and said to Chen Yiyi.

The Filipino maid also knew that the lavish man was coming.

That man gave her ten years' worth of salary back then.

It was thanks to this money that she was able to save her younger brother's life.

Now that man is coming again, she can understand Chen Yiyi's feelings.

She wasn't really any help in the kitchen.

"Okay, he'll be here soon. Could you check me again and see how I look dressed?"

Chen Yiyi asked the Filipino maid.

"Madam, you are the most beautiful."

The Filipino maid said.

But Chen Yiyi was still worried.

She stood in front of the full-length mirror in the entryway, finally adjusting the neckline of her burgundy dress.

The woman in the mirror had fine lines around her eyes, but she couldn't hide the expectation in them.

She took a deep breath and ran back to her room to touch up her makeup.

As soon as she stepped out of the room, she heard familiar footsteps outside the door.

She hurriedly tucked the stray hairs from her temples behind her ears.

The moment the door opened, Meng Chuan stood under the corridor lamp, holding a gift box with a cartoon pattern on it.

When their eyes met, Chen Yiyi suddenly smiled.

The two children hid behind Chen Yiyi.

She looked at Meng Chuan, who was both unfamiliar and familiar, with a somewhat timid expression.

The unfamiliarity was that none of them had ever seen Meng Chuan in person.

What's familiar is that we can always see news about Meng Chuan on the TV at home.

During this period, Meng Chuan's name spread throughout the world.

Whether it's on television or on social media.

You can see Meng Chuan's photos whenever you open the app.

Although they are still young, they don't understand the meaning of those news reports.

But they recognized Meng Chuan's face.

Because every time I see Meng Chuan's photo on TV...

Mom would press the pause button and watch for half a day.

"Long time no see, you're still as beautiful as ever."

Meng Chuan spoke, pulling Chen Yiyi back to reality from her mixed feelings.

"Woooo..."

At that moment, Chen Yiyi cried and threw herself into Meng Chuan's arms.

She thought she could face Meng Chuan with strength.

But when he saw Meng Chuan standing alive in front of him...

But she just couldn't control her emotions.

All she wanted to do right now was hold Meng Chuan tightly and have a good cry.

However, Meng Chuan was at a loss as to how to comfort Chen Yiyi.

Suddenly, a childish voice rang out:

"You bad guy, don't bully my mom! Let go of my mom!"
