Chapter 642: Pick Her Up
Meng Nan was so annoyed. He felt like he has fallen to his mother’s pit. She said that she bought things, so he had to come and pick her up. But what was the result?
Mrs. Han looked at Meng Nan, who was sitting far away and holding the teacup. His eyes stared outside the window while fanning the fan in his hand. He didn’t even take a glance at Zhang Ruxue.
She wanted to find a chance for them to get along with each other, so she suggested for them to go to Minglou for a tea after ordering materials. The environment in Minglou was particularly good. There were exquisite gardens. Zhang Ruxue and Meng Nan can go for a walk and stay together. By then, won’t they have a chance to get close to each other?
Unfortunately, Meng Nan didn’t agree.
“I’m sorry, there is still a lot of work to do for the New Year’s Eve banquet. I have to go quickly. I can’t delay it anymore.”
Meng Furen wanted to keep him, but seeing that his face doesn’t look so good, she just closed her mouth. She could only watch her son disappeared at the door.
Zheng Ruxue’s eyes turned red. She lowered her head and said, “Auntie, I also want to go.”
Seeing her little sister-in-law’s appearance, Mrs. Han felt worried and complicated.
A group of people scattered.
When Meng Nan got on the carriage, Jin Shiwei, who was sitting beside him said with a smile: “Gongzi, when you went out just now, Miss Zheng’s eyes were red. I’m afraid that she is crying now.”
Meng Nan sighed and closed his eyes. His mind was only full of Bai Zhi’s image. He stayed silent for a while, then suddenly asked: “These days, is there a letter for me?”
Jin Shiwei shook his head: “No, I went to the concierge every day to ask, but they said no.”
Meng Nan suddenly opened his eyes: “No, not good!”
Jin Shiwei said: “What’s wrong?”
Meng Nan said: “I and Boss Chen used to write back every 10 days. He used to be punctual, right?”
Jin Shiwei nodded his head: “Yes, he used to be punctual. Maybe he is busy recently.”
Meng Nan shook his head: “Impossible. Boss Chen knows that I am waiting for a letter. No matter how busy he is, he will not delay this matter. Besides, 10 days are enough for him to write a letter, right?”
Jin Shiwei said inside his heart: It’s not like people only write letters, they also have other business of their own.
Meng Nan said to Jin Shiwei: “When we go back to the house, you use any means to ask about this matter. I don’t believe that there is no letter even after half a month.”
Jin Shiwei replied: “Okay, I’ll ask when I return home.”
At around 3 p.m., Jin Shiwei came rushing: “Gongzi, you guessed it right.”
Meng Nan raised an eyebrow: “Guess what?”
“The concierge refused to say at first, so I used some tricks. Then, he told me the truth. Not only did he received a letter, but he also received several of them in a row. They were collected by Furen, and Furen didn’t let them speak about it.”
Meng Nan got up from the chair with a gloomy face, raised his leg, and walked out.
From his courtyard, he went straight to Fushou Courtyard
“Gongzi, why are you here? Furen hasn’t returned yet.”
Meng Nan ignored the maidservant and went straight into his mother’s room. When he entered the room, he rummaged through the dressing table, the boxes, and the desk. In the end, he found the letters under his mother’s pillow. There were four letters in total… …
He was familiar with the handwriting on the envelope, they were all written by Boss Chen. Looking at the handwriting, it seemed that he was a little anxious and not calm enough when he wrote it.
“Gongzi, what are you doing?” Two maidservants looked at Meng Nan with fear on their faces. They wanted to stop him, but they didn’t dare to step forward.
Meng Nan raised the letters in his hand and said to the two maidservants: “When mother came back, tell her that I took these letters, and I would like to ask her not to make such efforts again in the future.”
