C4206 Hongmen Feast(part I)
Zeng Menghan’s grandfather and Lin Huashu’s grandfather used to be good comrades. Later on, they had some conflicts and died together. However, according to the information that he revealed, the two of them did not have any personal grudges. Instead, they had different political views. When they were young, Zeng Menghan and Lin Huashu could not see things that far. They only felt that the two families were enemies. Therefore, the two of them could not be good friends. Since young, the two of them were incompatible with each other. Even their little friends were divided into two factions. Because the two of them were big shots, their levels were similar. Therefore, Zeng Menghan and Lin Huishu were evenly matched. For many years, no one could suppress the other.
Later on, when they were slightly older, they knew more. However, the conflicts that had been born since young had led to countless conflicts. It was impossible to be on good terms with them. They could only continue to fight. If you don’t like me, I don’t like you either. However, between the younger generation, no matter how much conflict there was, it would not involve the adults in the family.
They still respected their elders very much.
Lin Huashu did not like Zeng Menghan. However, her grandfather was in critical condition. She could only put aside her grudges and console her.Zeng Menghan suddenly lost her interest in talking. She just nodded and was silent.
Lin Huashu did not attack her anymore. She did not believe in her own words. Regardless of whether it was Grandpa Zeng or her own grandfather, they were already very old. In old words, they could be considered to be on the verge of death. Now, they were supported by the most professional medical team. They could live for one more day. That was a real number of days.
Grandfather Zeng was in critical condition, and Zeng Menghan had returned from abroad. This basically meant that Grandfather Zeng was about to pass away. He would probably be gone in a few days.
"Do you remember Song Siyuan?" Lin Qianer suddenly bit Dongfang Qingyu's ear.
"Why?" Dongfang Qingyu looked at Lin Qianer. How could he not remember? This guy was engaged to Lin Huixiang. When he first went to see his father-in-law and mother-in-law, this guy actually shamelessly came. He knew that he was married to Lin Huixiang and had a daughter, and he even came to celebrate the New Year's Eve dinner. His mentality was incomparable to ordinary people.
However, he was indeed quite handsome.
"When we were studying, Song Siyuan was publicly recognized as the campus belle, and countless girls dreamed of him. Zeng Menghan liked Song Siyuan, but Song Siyuan liked big sister. Zeng Menghan was very angry at big sister." Lin Qianer said quietly, with a wicked smile on her face.
"How old are you when you were studying? You are already thinking about love and romance. No wonder you can't study," Dongfang Qingyu said.
"..." Lin Qianer looked at Dongfang Qingyu in shock. Her mouth could even stuff an egg. Who was the one who couldn't study? Among the people she knew, Dongfang Qingyu's education was the lowest.
The news of Dongfang Qingyu and Lin Huixiang returning to the capital after landing the plane spread like wildfire. The person who received them was Liang Yuan'er. When she mentioned this matter, Lin Qianer was very surprised.
"We decided to come back at the last minute. No one said anything. How did they know?"
"There's nothing we can do about it. The 'peeling technique' is too popular. You were recognized as soon as you arrived at the airport," Liang Yu'er said. She was dressed in a very feminine outfit today. Her hair was straightened, and her white dress looked like a white lotus flower.
"Good things don't come out of the door, and bad things spread far and wide," Dongfang Qingyu said.
"Calamity, to be honest, is there really a problem with the 'peeling technique'?" Liang Yu'er asked with a serious expression.
"When I came home this time, I asked Grandfather to go to the south and perform an operation for him," Lin Huo Huai said lightly.
"I knew you wouldn't do something so unreliable," Liang Yu'er said with a smile, her eyes filled with anticipation. "Now, we can slap your face."
"What do you mean?" Lin Qian'er looked at her.
"I know that you guys are coming back. Chen Da Niao, Blind Cat, and Gao Xi Feng are going to welcome you guys. They have already set up a table in the Eight Treasures of the World and invited many people," Liang Yu'er said.
"No!" Lin Huo Huai refused without even thinking about it. In the past, she would never refuse such an occasion. Even if she knew that she would lose, she still had to go and try her luck. But now, she had no interest in this kind of fierce competition of loyalty.
"Aren't you going? You guys are the main characters," Liang Yu'er said.
"Did I agree?" Lin Huo Huai asked.
"We're all childhood friends. Since everyone is so enthusiastic, you can't disappoint them," Liang Yu'er said.
"Are they disappointed with me? I, Lin Huohu —" Lin Huohu suddenly stared at Liang Yuanyue, "Did you bet with them?"
"Uh —" Liang Yuanyue smiled awkwardly, "You've already found out. Zhu Yiran heard that you were going back to the capital and was on her way here. She bet with me that you wouldn't come. I thought that I couldn't lose." She looked at Lin Huohu pitifully, "Big sister, you don't want me to lose, do you?"
"Zhu Yiran is just trying to provoke me. Can't you see that?" Lin Huohu snorted.
"She's just playing a game. I know that it's a trap, but I have to step on it. Otherwise, wouldn't I lose all my prestige? Zhu Yiran could even kill her way back from Tianjin." Liang Yuanyue said.
"She wants to see me make a fool of myself. She doesn't know what she's thinking." Lin Huohu's expression was not good.
"Brother-in-law!" Liang Yuanyue saw that Lin Huohu was not going to budge, so she could only save the country by acting. She looked at Dongfang Qingyu with her big watery eyes and said softly, "I am Jian Jia's aunt. Brother-in-law won't just stand by and do nothing, right?"
"Alright, then go. It's time for dinner. If you have food to eat, why don't you go?" Dongfang Qingyu hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement.
"Thank you, Brother-in-law. Brother-in-law is so good." Liang Yuanyue did not care that Dongfang Qingyu was driving. She went up and took a bite, not caring about Lin Huohu glaring at her at all.
Dongfang Qingyu had been to the Eight Treasures Continent once, but this time, they were going directly from the airport. The route was different, so Dongfang Qingyu was not familiar with the road. She could only ask for directions.
“Right, when I was offline, I seemed to have seen Zeng Menghan. It really was her, or did I see wrongly?” Liang Yu’er suddenly said.
“What do you think?” Lin Huihuo asked.
“It really was her. She walked so fast and didn’t even greet us. She was rude. Oh…” Liang Yu’er suddenly paused and her tone became a little gloomier. “She went to see Grandpa Zeng. No wonder, no wonder she was willing to come back.”
“Grandpa Zeng… is it very serious?” Lin Huihuo asked softly. It was not good to ask too much about Zeng Menghan on the plane.
“People from the top have come to visit. Everyone from the Zeng family has rushed back from all over the country. I’m afraid it’s only been one or two days,” Liang Yu’er said slowly.
Lin Huihuo and Lin Qianer both stopped talking. They both thought of their own grandpa. They were of the same generation and had similar ages and physical conditions. When Grandpa Zeng arrived, the others wouldn’t be late too long.
