Chapter 27: The Hidden Story Behind

  "My boss, do you think this is okay? After all, she's your fiancée!" The teasing voice echoed in the empty room on the top floor of 'Huang Yu', where Meng Er had just left. "You didn't see it, but the scene just now was really exciting and touching!"

  On the other hand, a man leaning against the bar with his eyes not on the teasing man, but on the cup in his hand. As his hand gently swayed, the red wine in the cup also shook. "They're just kids, what's there to see? You know, I'm not trying to get her! Wind, you know? That person is like this red wine, it needs to be savored slowly to feel its fragrance." He gently brought the red wine in his hand to his mouth, and as it passed through his throat, it produced its value. "I wonder if their friendship is so solid, but they've just met! I also want to know how he will protect her?"

  Yuwen Feng heard his words, and it turned out that he still couldn't let go of the past. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. However, facing the nightmare in his heart, he couldn't help him, and could only hope that the girl would be able to help him.

  On the other hand, in Qing Tianyou's apartment...

  Meng'er gazed out the window, and the sky gradually lifted that layer of black curtain, bringing a hazy mist. In the end, she still got up. She lightly opened the door, following her memories from when she first came in to the balcony. But there was already someone standing there, who knows if he was like herself - sleepless.

  She didn't know how to start a conversation, so Meng'er decided to retreat. But just as she was about to turn around, the person leaning on the balcony railing seemed to sense her arrival and turned around, colliding with her line of sight. Seeing this, Meng'er knew she couldn't escape and looked at him, calling out in a low voice: "Hello, Cheng Tian Gege!"

  "What's wrong? Can't sleep?"

  "Sorry to trouble you!"

  "Girl, when did you start becoming estranged from me! One should be crazy in his youth, I just hope you can always be so happy and carefree, don't change!"

  "What about you? Are you and my brother also like this?"

  Haha, after laughing for a while, Jing Tianyou fell into his own thoughts. Meng'er thought he wouldn't continue speaking when Jing Tianyou started talking in a low voice, his tone was heavy, as if he was about to tell a very serious story or past event.

  "I grew up with your older brother since we were kids. Our personalities are different, as you know, one cold and one hot, but we also used to be as innocent as you guys! In high school, your older brother fell in love with a girl from the neighboring class, and I was the one who helped him write his love letters back then. Haha." Meng'er looked at this man who exuded an air of nobility, finding it hard to imagine him helping her older brother write love letters and pass them on, and even harder to believe that he would share such past experiences with her. "But in the end, that girl didn't accept your brother's feelings."

  "Why?" Meng'er asked blankly, only to realize that there was no reason to say anything, and simply not liking it was enough. But unexpectedly, Jing Tianyou said: "Because she's going north, saying that some entertainment company has taken a fancy to her."

  "What about now, where is she?" After asking, Meng Er suddenly felt that she had said too much. Jing Tianyou didn't intend to hide her meaning and continued: "Later on, she indeed achieved some success, but just as her career was taking off, we received news of her passing through newspapers and magazines." Jing Tianyou finished speaking, looking at Meng Er, seeing the doubt in her eyes, knowing that she wanted to ask about the cause of her death. "In the end, she couldn't bear the entertainment circle's hypocrisy and long-term depression, and died in a traffic accident. So, you should forgive your brother for scolding you, and appreciate his good intentions!"

  Qing Tianyou lowered his head, as if he had fallen into memories. Meng'er wanted to raise her hand and pat him on the shoulder to give him strength, but after all, there was a difference between men and women, so she endured it.

  "Meng Er, the entertainment industry isn't as simple as you imagine it to be. The complexity and messiness within it aren't something that outsiders can understand. Actually, I also agree with your brother's point of view - being a good daughter of the Cang Hai family is already enough for you!"

  Actually, Yuwen Feng's words had already planted a seed in Meng'er's heart. Last night and now, they repeatedly reminded her that as long as she bore the famous name well, everything would be fine. The seed named "Don't rely on family protection" began to ferment and swell, and the more obstacles there were, the more she wanted to break free from this shackle. So, she said firmly: "Fame and wealth are just fleeting clouds. What I pursue is not fame or wealth, but the realization of my own value. Because I don't know what I can do or what the future holds, so when there's an opportunity, I will bravely move forward, bravely challenge the arrangements given to me by fate!"

  Qingtian Yu heard Meng Er's words and raised his head. The person reflected in his eyes was no longer the little girl who followed him around, calling him "Yu Gege", but a Meng Er with her own thoughts, wanting to go out and make her own way in the world. This is probably the true nature of the people from the Canghai family!

  "Brother, I know you all want the best for Meng Er and hope she can live a stable life. But that's not the life I want. Like you, like Brother, managing a group's operations isn't tiring? Aren't there many difficulties to overcome? Yet, you've all been able to overcome them one by one, grasping the future of the group in your own hands. Why can't I?! Is it just because I'm a woman, and Meng Er is destined to live under her family's protection forever?"

  "Meng Er!" Jing Tianyou looked at Meng Er, speechless for a moment, before softly sighing. "If you insist on this, I'll persuade your older brother! However, judging from his reaction today, it's likely to be quite difficult." He had no intention of stopping Meng Er in the first place, and now after hearing her words, he knew that the little princess was like a young eagle who would eventually leave the nest to find her own sky.

  "Then thank you, Brother Qiang Tian! If there's nothing else, Meng Er will head back to her room!" Qiang Tian Yu nodded at her, indicating for her to go sleep. "You should get some rest too, it was Meng Er's fault last night, causing you all to worry!"

  Qingtianyu patted Meng'er's shoulder, but ultimately didn't say anything. In the end, Meng'er got up and walked towards the bedroom. The door to the room saw Meng'er returning and quickly closed it, but was still seen by Meng'er. Meng'er helplessly shook her head, Ah, sentimental people are always hurt by those who lack sentiment!

  Lying in bed, Meng'er heard the person beside her also tossing and turning, but she didn't know how to speak up, so she finally closed her eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

  When she opened her eyes again, it was already noon. Seeing that the other three had packed up, she quickly tidied herself up too. Finally, Jing Tianyou sent them all back to school. Along the way, they were all speechless, a change from their usual selves. Due to the start of the National Day holiday, there were fewer people on the campus road. Meng'er cleaned up her things and Jing Tianyou sent her home, while the other three also returned home separately.

  This matter is like a time bomb buried in their hearts. Mei, just pray that it won't affect their friendship.
