Chapter 55 How did you find out when your father betrayed you?
That evening, Lu Fan personally received Elder Meng.
"Old Meng, it's been so long since you've come to visit me since you built this manor for me," Lu Fan said with a smile.
"You're so busy with so many things every day, I can't even find you to chat with," Old Meng chuckled.
Lu Fan sighed, "When you built this manor, we hit it off immediately and had a wonderful chat. Over the years, you've been my only close friend despite our age difference!"
"Your words are unreliable, I still prefer to listen to your daughter," Old Meng teased. "By the way, I've taken your daughter as a student, so you have to pour me a cup of tea, right?"
"Thank you so much, Elder Meng. I will repay this great kindness by serving you as a cow or a horse in my next life," Lu Fan said, picking up a cup of tea.
"You're lucky to have such a capable daughter with such a high design talent," Old Meng said enviously.
He then asked, "Does that girl know you now?"
"Understood." Lu Fan nodded.
"So, do you acknowledge me now?" Old Meng continued to ask.
Lu Fan smiled and said, "I suddenly have a father, but I don't acknowledge him yet. I'm working on it."
"You, I really don't know what to say about you. You were a dissolute young man when you were young." Old Meng shook his head, both laughing and crying. "That good girl has suffered, raising two children alone. You have to make it up to them, or I won't let you off the hook. Now your daughter is my student, and I have to protect her."
"Don't worry, Elder Meng, I would have done it even if you hadn't told me," Lu Fan explained.
After finishing his tea, Old Meng stood up and said, "Alright, I have to go back now. I still have a lot of things to do at the research institute."
"Thank you for making the trip to Jinling, Elder Meng." Lu Fan then looked at Chen He and said, "Chen He, see Elder Meng off. Please be careful and drive safely."
"clear!"
And so, Chen He escorted Old Man Meng back home.
The butler, Lao Luo, then walked over and asked, "Boss, are we going to Guangzhou again tonight?"
Lu Fan suddenly remembered that he hadn't drunk the health-preserving soup that Jiang Yixia had made today, so he nodded and said, "Let's go back to Guangzhou."
With that, he hurriedly left.
At this moment, Jiang Yixia was sitting in the shop.
Business isn't busy tonight.
Most of the time, Jiang Yixia would sit in a chair waiting for Jiang Silu's call.
Just then, my phone rang.
Jiang Yixia answered the phone and asked, "Hey, Lulu, you said you had something important to tell me, what is it?"
She thought it was about Lu Fan.
So his tone was somewhat anxious.
Jiang Silu giggled on the other end of the phone: "Mom, let me tell you, today is truly a lucky day."
"What lucky day?" Jiang Yixia asked.
Jiang Silu then told Jiang Yixia everything that had happened from last night to today.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yixia frowned and asked, "You mean a nationally renowned professional teacher came to your school to give lectures, thought your design was good, gave you extra tutoring, and even took you on as a student?"
"Yes!" Jiang Silu said excitedly, "Mom, let me tell you, I was stunned when I heard it! I couldn't believe my ears! And there's another good thing, that senior sister who was talking about me yesterday suddenly quit the design group for some reason, and now a junior brother is leading the team."
"Then Ms. Chen told me that my name would appear on the competition participant list!"
Jiang Silu excitedly said to Jiang Yixia, "Mom, do you think today is my lucky day!"
After hearing this, Jiang Yixia hesitated for a moment, then encouraged him, "This is not your lucky day, but a reward for your hard work. You must study even harder and not disappoint Elder Meng."
"Okay, Mom, I know! Mom, I'll talk to you later, I'll have a bowl of mung bean soup and then I'll go back to my dorm to draw."
"Okay, by the way, remember to rest and don't overwork yourself, okay?"
"Okay, Mom. You should get some rest too, don't close the shop too late."
"Okay." Jiang Yixia seemed to have thought of something and asked, "By the way, what has your brother been busy with lately? I haven't seen him say anything in the group chat."
Jiang Silu replied, "I don't know, I've been busy lately. Mom, you can give him a call."
"it is good."
After hanging up the phone, Jiang Yixia thought it over and over, and finally dialed Jiang Sifan's number.
"Hey, Sifan, are you busy?" Jiang Yixia asked tentatively.
Jiang Sifan replied, "I'm not busy, Mom. What's wrong?"
"It's nothing. I just noticed you haven't been chatting in the family group or messaging Mom lately, so I called you. If you're busy, Mom won't bother you," Jiang Yixia replied.
After hearing this, Jiang Sifan explained, "I've just been a bit busy with my studies lately. I'm fine, Mom."
"That's good." Jiang Yixia smiled.
"Oh, right, Mom."
After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Sifan asked, "How did you find out when you found out that Dad had betrayed you?"
"What's wrong?" Jiang Yixia asked nervously.
"It's nothing, it's just... one of my roommates, he and his girlfriend... are in a long-distance relationship, yes, a long-distance relationship, and then he noticed something was off, but he didn't know how to investigate, yes, he didn't know how to investigate," Jiang Sifan replied.
Jiang Yixia thought for a moment, then explained, "Actually, I didn't really notice anything. It's just that I can't find the feeling of love I used to have in the other person's eyes and behavior. I think you can tell if you just pay a little attention."
"Oh, I see." Seeing this, Jiang Sifan changed the subject: "Mom, by the way, I'm currently working on a campus entrepreneurship project. I'll tell you when I've succeeded."
"Okay, do you need your mom's help? Like, do you need funding?" Jiang Yixia naturally understood that starting a business requires financial resources.
Jiang Sifan refused, saying, "No need, Mom. Your son is so capable; he can handle money matters himself. I'm a tutor now!"
"Haha, my son is amazing," Jiang Yixia said with satisfaction.
The mother and son chatted for a few more minutes before hanging up.
After ending the chat, Jiang Yixia fell into thought.
It's obvious that Jiang Sifan just lied.
Because when he lies, he repeats the last sentence.
A wise child is better than his mother.
Jiang Yixia wondered if her son had encountered setbacks in his love life.
However, Jiang Sifan is now eighteen years old and no longer a child, so she shouldn't ask too many questions.
Just then, footsteps sounded at the shop entrance.
"Yixia, I'm here for the soup."
Jiang Yixia turned around and saw Lu Fan walking towards her with a shameless grin.
"Why are you here again?" Jiang Yixia frowned.
"I didn't get to drink soup today. I came all the way back from Nanjing specifically to have soup," Lu Fan explained.
Jiang Yixia was speechless: "All you do is get things done all day long."
Although she still hated him, Jiang Yixia would keep her promise after all.
A short while later, she brought a thermos from the room and said, "The soup I served at noon is in there. I don't know if it's cold yet. You can heat it up when you get back."
"I knew you were the best to me." Lu Fan didn't care whether it was cold or not, he twisted off the cap and drank it directly.
During the drink, Jiang Yixia, though her tone was somewhat cold, asked a meaningful question: "Was it you who arranged for Old Master Meng to take Si Lu as a student?"
