Chapter 58: Family Matters Are Hard to Resolve

  I don't know if it's because of the weather, but I feel like there's a lazy and cold atmosphere surrounding me. Whether it's the withered trees or the dormitory environment, I always feel a sense of oppression as if a storm is approaching.

  The movie theme song MV has been broadcast on various TV music programs, and the radio station has also started to play it. According to Yuwen Feng, the response is not bad. Sometimes, when walking on campus, people have begun to recognize her too.

  That day, she was stopped on her way back to school after finishing her run. It was him, whom she had met at the library last time.

  "It's quite presumptuous of you to suddenly disturb me, Yan'er won't see me, so I had no choice but to come find you!" He was sincere and polite, but Dream felt that he wasn't simple because he could easily find her location. Perhaps it was because Yan'er's background wasn't simple, their every move was under someone else's scrutiny.

  "It's nothing, may I ask what brings you here?" Meng'er nodded at him and replied humbly.

  "May I borrow your ear for a moment?"

  Meng'er saw that this side had already become the focus of attention for her former classmates, so she could only return to the stairs on the playground. Meng'er looked at him in his suit and hesitated about whether or not to ask him to sit down.

  He noticed Meng's gaze and smiled at her: "Sit down, I'm not that particular!"

  Meng'er thought to herself, if she hadn't seen so many handsome men before, she probably wouldn't have been able to handle the smile of the man in front of her. So, she awkwardly replied: "Oh!" and sat down with him.

  "I don't know if Xiang Er has told you, but I'm her older half-brother! She wouldn't say it, would she? She's never acknowledged me!" His low and melancholic voice slowly flowed out of his mouth. Gazing into the distance, his eyes were filled with worry and loss. This made Meng Er's heart sink as well. Because what he was about to tell her concerned her sister's past!

  "I won't say much about the past. Because that's our elders, and as juniors, it's not convenient for us to discuss too much." Meng Er said, and her impression of him instantly improved. "I'm sure you also heard what Yan Er said yesterday. Yan Er's mother left her when she was 10 years old. My mother let her go to boarding school, but it wasn't to drive her away from home. It was because Yan Er didn't speak or react at all during that time, completely closing herself off in her own world. My mother thought that changing her environment would be better for her growth! That's why she was sent to boarding school!"

  In fact, for these words, Meng'er had no way of verifying them, but out of politeness, she still listened carefully.

  "My father deposits money into her card every month, but since she went to high school, she hasn't used that money and hasn't come back home even once!"

  "Listen, at that time what was needed wasn't money, you should know!"

  "I know, but my parents are busy with work and don't have time to take care of her. Especially my father, every time she comes home on vacation, she's always cold and distant towards him, completely rejecting anyone's concern!"

  This is so different from the words in her eyes. The words in her eyes are optimistic, understanding, and kind-hearted, a good girl who can understand people's intentions!

  "Every time, when the person below sends back photos of you playing together with the child, I think to myself, if she were at home, able to smile like this, perhaps my father wouldn't have had a heart attack from depression and ended up in the hospital?"

  Myocardial infarction? Meng'er feels so familiar, as if she just heard it somewhere!

  "Now the old man just wants his children to be happy and content, he doesn't ask for anything else! Meng Er, I hope you can help us!" Meng Er was somewhat surprised, it seemed that Yan Er's family didn't neglect her, they even investigated the people around her so thoroughly. "Recently, due to my father's sudden illness, there are many things I need to take care of, Meng Er, I hope you can help me take good care of Yan Er!"

  Did you see the news? Heart attack? Meng Er's blockage was suddenly opened, isn't this the chairman of Shanxin Group that Mei Er mentioned? Could it be that Yan Er is the big sister of Shanxin Group?

  "This is my business card, if you have anything to say, please contact me immediately!" Meng'er scanned it briefly and indeed saw a few golden characters printed on it: Shanshen Group General Manager, Yan Hua!

  However, it stayed in her hand for less than half a minute before being taken away by another hand. Meng'er looked up to see Yan'er, with an expression she had never seen before, tearing the business card he had just taken from her into pieces.

  "What are you doing?" Meng Er was shocked by Yan Er's indifference on her face, and even more surprised by her actions.

  "What's going on? Preventing my most trusted friend from selling out my situation to my enemy?" He then casually took the torn business card in his hand and threw it into the trash can beside him!

  "Are you enemies? You are also blood relatives! The deceased is gone, why don't you cherish the remaining relatives? When a son wants to support his parents but they won't wait, can you understand?"

  "I don't understand!" He said, turning around and leaving!

  Time ticked away, and the person beside her stood up. "Meng Er, I'm sorry, let Xiang Er misunderstand you!"

  "It's nothing!" She let out a breath and forced a smile at him.

  "Well, I'll go first, you have something to find me!" He said, and gave a business card to Meng Er again.

  "Alright, big brother, take care on your way!"

  She was left alone, sitting there in solitude. The recent events still lingered in her mind, and after a long while, she patted her numb feet, stood up, and walked back to the dormitory with her head hung low.

  "Excuse me, let's make way!" Meng'er said to the pair of leather shoes under her feet, not understanding why they moved left when she did and right when she did.

  "When can I see you again!" A pair of hands pulled her into a thick and warm embrace. She looked up, Yan Yiren's face was full of loss as he stared at her.

  "How did you get here?" Meng'er looked at the person who appeared here in surprise. Before he could answer, as if remembering that they were still on the playground, she hastily pushed him away. "Be mindful of your behavior in public!"

  "Couples in college will hug and hold each other in public, haven't you seen that?" He looked at her with a playful smile.

  "I didn't see it!"

  "Then I'll show you!" As he spoke, he took advantage of the momentum and tried to pull her into his arms again. Meng'er hastily jumped back.

  "Alright, stop messing around! You still haven't told me why you're here at this time? No, I've realized that you often appear in our school, what's the reason?" Meng'er recalled the encounter in the music room again.

  "I have a friend who is a music teacher at your school!" He pointed in the direction of the administrative building with his hand. Meng'er nodded and said "Oh, yeah". "Also, come see if my little girlfriend misses me?"

  Meng'er pushed away his approaching face and said, "Don't think about it!" Then, she walked forward past him. A smile that couldn't be suppressed appeared on her face, revealing her current mood.

  "Go with me to eat!" Then, regardless of many classmates and inquiring eyes, he dragged Meng Er away!
