Chapter 10: Unblessed Relationship 2
Although he confessed to Qian Mengmeng, the next day Wen Yu acted as if nothing had happened. Qian Mengmeng tactfully did not mention the incident again. The two of them still got along the same as before. Qian Mengmeng slowly let it go and turned to preparing a birthday party for her father.
Since Mr. Qian listened to Pei Haochuan's advice and went out to find a job, the family's situation has gradually improved. Although they still owe a lot of foreign debts, with the efforts of Qian Mengmeng and Mr. Qian, they have some spare money after paying off the debts, so they can also afford a small banquet.
Qian Mengmeng got up early on Saturday morning. She helped her father pack up, and then seeing that time was almost up, she went out with her father to the newly opened restaurant on the corner.
They booked a private room, and Qian Mengmeng and Qian's father had just arrived for a short while when Wen Yuzheng and Wen's mother arrived.
"Old Qian! Happy birthday!"
As soon as Mother Wen saw Father Qian, she congratulated him. Wen Yu was handing the gift to Qian Mengmeng and said with a smile, "Mengmeng, I wish you and Uncle Qian happy every day."
Qian Mengmeng didn't dare to look into Wen Yuzheng's eyes. She lowered her head and took the gift. Just as she was thinking of putting it aside, it was taken away by Qian's father.
"This..." Father Qian looked at the gift box and looked at Mother Wen in surprise, "This is too expensive!"
It turned out that what Wen's mother and Wen Yu were giving Qian's father was a suit, a very expensive brand. When the family was better off, Qian Mengmeng saw her father wearing it once, and it cost several thousand yuan a suit at the time. It could only be more expensive now.
Father Qian pushed the bag to Mother Wen and said disapprovingly, "No, no, I'm too old to wear it, and it's too expensive. I can't accept it. You can return it."
"Oh," Mother Wen pushed the bag into Father Qian's hand, "Look at you, being polite to us again! This dress was paid for by our Yu Zheng. You know how much he earns a month. It doesn't cost much to buy such a dress. Besides, you have a job now, so wearing decent clothes will make people appreciate you, right? Don't refuse me. We have been friends for many years troubled me enough over the years? You are reluctant to give me a dress. If there is anything happening at home in the future, I will not tell you. Who told you to be so reserved with me..."
Seeing that Mother Wen was about to get angry, Qian Mengmeng quickly stepped forward, hugged Mother Wen, kissed her cheek and said, "Aunt Wen, you are so considerate. Thank you."
Mother Wen was immediately amused by her and hugged Qian Mengmeng and said, "Our Mengmeng is still the best. Oh, I should have given birth to a daughter earlier. A daughter is a mother's sweet and caring little cotton-padded jacket!"
"Then I will be your daughter for life!" Qian Mengmeng said sweetly.
"Hey, you are my mother's daughter, what should I do?" Wen Yu asked with amusement.
Qian Mengmeng's heart sank, but she soon smiled and said, "He is also Auntie's son ! This way we can be real brother and sister!"
Wen Yu's face froze, but before he could open his mouth, Qian's father snatched the phone away.
"You girl, you recognize your mother everywhere! Where do you put me, your father?" Father Qian's voice sounded with a smile and a teasing tone.
"You, just envy me!"
There was a sudden burst of laughter in the box, and it was extremely lively.
After everyone exchanged greetings for a while, Qian Mengmeng's phone suddenly rang.
"What's going on? Have Haochuan and the others arrived?" asked Mr. Qian.
Qian Mengmeng picked up the phone and said with a smile: "Well, he can't find the way, I'll go pick him up."
The look on Wen's mother's face immediately turned gossipy: "Oh, our Meng Meng has found a boyfriend, I have to take a good look."
Qian Mengmeng's face turned slightly red, and only Wen Yuzheng looked unhappy. He snorted, pursed his lips and looked outside. Qian Mengmeng didn't look at him and went out directly with her phone.
Pei Haochuan and his friends were already waiting on the street some distance away from the restaurant. Qian Mengmeng trotted over and saw Pei Haochuan and his father, who were dressed in new clothes.
It has to be said that Pei Haochuan really inherited his father's good genes. In his forties, Pei's father stood straight and straight, dressed in a suit and tie. Even when standing next to the young and handsome Pei Haochuan, he was not inferior at all, but gave people a sense of dignity. Pei Haochuan looked very good today. Unlike the casual clothes Qian Mengmeng usually saw him in, he wore a slightly formal suit today. He stood there straight and straight, showing a different kind of handsomeness than usual.
Qian Mengmeng trotted to them and stood in front of them, then said with a smile: "Uncle Pei, hello." Then she looked at Pei Haochuan, "Haochuan, you are here."
Pei Haochuan smiled at her.
Father Pei was very happy to see Qian Mengmeng: "You are our Haochuan's girlfriend, right?" He looked Qian Mengmeng up and down, then leaned forward slightly and said, "We will trouble you to take care of our Haochuan in the future."
"Ah..." Qian Mengmeng didn't expect that Mr. Pei was such a kind person. She was a little stunned for a moment, but soon she bowed back, "No, no, it's always me who is bothering Haochuan."
Father Pei looked at her gently, his eyes somewhat distant: "Come to think of it, Mengmeng, you look a lot like an old friend of mine."
"Ah?" Qian Mengmeng was stunned for a moment.
"I'm sorry. Today is your father's birthday, but I'm talking to myself here." Father Pei seemed a little embarrassed. He stood up straight and straightened his clothes. "I came here specially to see your family today. Mengmeng, please lead the way."
"Yeah!" Qian Mengmeng nodded excitedly.
Pei Haochuan smiled and touched her head: "Silly girl."
Qian Mengmeng grinned at him.
Soon the three of them arrived at the reserved restaurant. Qian Mengmeng opened the door of the private room, ushered in Pei Haochuan and his father, and said happily: "Haochuan and Uncle Pei are here!"
Father Qian and Mother Wen, who were chatting and laughing, turned around. Their smiling faces suddenly fell the moment they saw Father Pei.
