Chapter 1 .001
As soon as Meng Wan walked into the restaurant, he attracted countless eyes.
This western restaurant is very famous in Jiangcheng. Most people who come to eat here are rich second-generation high-end white-collar workers. There are often handsome men and beautiful women. The front desk and waiters are commonplace, but Meng Wan wore a black strapless dress. Everyone was surprised by her when they walked in.
Meng Wan was about to inquire about the seats, and suddenly saw a gentleman in a suit standing up and beckoning to her, Meng Wan smiled and walked in.
Attorney Wu was standing next to the chair, his eyes under the gold wire frame almost burning and looking at the blind date who was approaching.
He has seen a picture of Meng Wan, but it is clear that a real person is a hundred times more beautiful than the picture.
Twenty-five-year-old Meng Wan has long hair tonight, revealing a smooth forehead and slender neck, white and greasy under the lamp. She has big beautiful and confident eyes, and when so many unfamiliar customers look at her, she doesn’t care, smiling generously and calmly. She is not tall, she should be only one meter six without high heels, but her legs are slender, her chest is big and her waist is thin, and her body wrapped in a black dress is full of allure for men.
This is a young and mature woman.
“Sorry, there is a traffic jam on the road, I am late.” Meng Wan stopped opposite Lawyer Wu and said with a smile.
“I just arrived too, let’s sit down.” Attorney Wu was handsome and helped Meng Wan pull the chair away.
Meng Wan caught a glimpse of the Rolex watch on his wrist, with a champagne plate set with diamonds, and the lawyer’s hands were white and slender, but also very eye-catching.
As far as the first impression is concerned, up to now, Meng Wan is satisfied with Lawyer Wu. She was urged by her mother to go on a blind date after graduating from university. She has an average of five blind dates a year. Lawyer Wu is considered to be the most handsome among them. According to my mother, Lawyer Wu’s family is rich and capable, and he is the best blind date that my mother can contact for her.
As a lawyer, Lawyer Wu is very good at communicating with people, and his language is very humorous.
The atmosphere is pleasant half before dinner.
“I heard that you opened a ramen restaurant across from Z University?” The topic finally shifted to the woman.
Meng Wan nodded.
Lawyer Wu laughed: “Ms. Meng is so beautiful, why would you think of opening a noodle restaurant?”
Meng Wan heard the alarm bell in his heart and asked with a smile, “Is the ramen restaurant bad?”
Lawyer Wu put down the red wine in his hand and pushed the frame: “That’s not the case, but the ramen restaurants on the street are very messy in my impression. The customers are of all grades, not in line with Miss Meng’s temperament. In fact, the business environment of Z University is Yes, if Miss Meng opens a western restaurant or coffee shop, business may be better.”
There are also compelling words to say, Lawyer Wu added silently in his heart. His relatives and friends are all decent people. Attorney Wu is very satisfied with Meng Wan’s appearance and temperament. He doesn’t mind Meng Wan’s general undergraduate education or the poor family background of Meng’s family, but Lawyer Wu can’t imagine relatives and friends. When asked about Meng Wan’s work, he mentioned the reactions of his friends and relatives after the “ramen restaurant”.
Meng Wan understood what Lawyer Wu meant. After all, Lawyer Wu was not the first blind date to dislike her for opening a noodle restaurant.
“My Grandpa Zeng and Grandpa both opened ramen restaurants, and I also like the atmosphere of ramen restaurants, and I don’t want to change it.” Meng Wan kept smiling.
Lawyer Wu certainly knows the situation of the Meng family. Grandpa Meng Wanzeng was originally from the north, and he came to Jiangcheng to open a noodle restaurant when he was young and settled in Jiangcheng. The business of the two old men’s ramen restaurants was very hot. Although it was very popular, they saved a lot of money. It was the turn of Meng Wan’s father, who finally stopped opening the ramen restaurant. He sold eight ramen restaurants of the two old men and opened a shopping mall. , Is now a big brand in Jiangcheng.
Therefore, Meng Wan was also born Bai Fumei.
It’s a pity that this Bai Fumi puts a good rich lady improperly and insists on opening some ramen restaurant.
Lawyer Wu feels that the ramen restaurant is the only obstacle to his continued communication with Meng Wan.
He tried to be euphemistic: “Western restaurants are more tasteful.”
Meng Wan was very direct: “I prefer the life style of a ramen restaurant.”
She grew up eating grandpa’s ramen. Meng Wan couldn’t make ramen by herself, but she just wanted to open a ramen restaurant.
The atmosphere was a bit stiff. Attorney Wu looked at Meng Wan’s beautiful face, which was no worse than the popular celebrity, and decided to put aside the ramen restaurant. When the two had been dating for a while, he would try to persuade Meng Wan to open another restaurant. In fact, he has also seen photos of Meng Wan’s ramen restaurant. The decoration is antique and the environment is elegant, but the word “ramen” symbolizes vulgarity, which he cannot tolerate!
According to the plan, before the end of dinner, Lawyer Wu took out two tickets for the violin concert and invited Meng Wan to go with him.
Meng Wan agreed with a smile, but quietly pressed a phone.
As soon as the two arrived in the underground garage, Meng Wan received a call from the noodle restaurant, saying that she needed to go back to deal with something.
“Sorry, I have to go there. I can’t accompany you to the concert tonight.” Meng Wan shook his phone, smiling helplessly.
Lawyer Wu expressed understanding: “Shall I send you there?”
Meng Wan shook his head, pointed to a BMW parked nearby and said, “I came by car.”
Lawyer Wu sent her to BMW all the way.
Meng Wan fastened his seat belt, waved to the gentleman in the suit outside the car, and drove away without looking back.
The man nowadays, in charge of everything, Meng Wan would rather become the leftover woman whom his mother said could not marry, and did not want to find a yoke for herself.
.
It was almost eight o’clock late, and the ramen shop was doing well. Meng Wan didn’t go there anymore and went straight back to the Xiangzhang community.
Compared with the newly built high-end residential real estate in the surrounding area, Xiangzhang Community has been around for a few years, but Meng Wan grew up here since he was a child, and the community is so close to Z, which can be reached within a ten-minute walk, so my parents moved there. It’s a new home, and Meng Wan still lives here. As the car drove over, Meng Wan suddenly felt a headache when he saw his lights were on.
After stopping the car, Meng Wan walked into the elevator carrying a bag. The elevator stopped on the 16th floor and Meng Wan stepped out mechanically.
As soon as she opened the door of the room, Mum Meng rushed over from the living room and asked gossiping: “How is it? Isn’t this handsome today?”
Meng Wan curled his lips while changing his slippers: “What’s the use of being handsome, I don’t think I’m in style when I open a noodle restaurant.”
Mum Meng listened and stared at her daughter and said: “I said long ago that you should change your business and you must follow your grandfather.”
Meng Wan glared back at his mother: “I made money last year, who praised me for being able to do it? Who else often goes to my place and doesn’t give me money?”
Mum Meng suddenly felt guilty. Her daughter’s ramen restaurant was beautifully decorated. The two ramen guys who made noodles were young and handsome. Most of the customers were college students from Z University. Among them, there were many small fresh meats. She and several brand friends like to go there to eat.
WeChat jingled. Mother Meng looked at her phone first, and she was happy after reading: “Aunt Xiao Wu said, Xiao Wu likes you very much and is willing to continue to develop.”
Meng Wan leaned on the sofa, picked up the fruit plate and ate the grapes, and said vaguely: “Forget it, I am not suitable for him, and I am not interested in what he likes.” She was sloppy and talked with a man who likes to talk about style. Together, either the other party accommodates her, or she accommodates each other, both of them are tired and boring.
Mother Meng persuaded her daughter to be useless all night, and didn’t make breakfast for her the next day, so she went away angrily.
The ramen shop opened at ten in the morning, and Meng Wan slept until eight in the morning. He lay down and ordered a breakfast takeaway. Meng Wan only got up and took a bath.
The takeout came early today. Meng Wan received a call from the takeaway brother as soon as he came out of the bathroom. Meng Wan quickly put on a short-sleeved shorts, and then opened the door with his wet hair. Opened the door and found no one at the door, Meng Wan guessed that the takeaway boy should be in the elevator and simply stood at the door waiting.
The elevator numbers became very fast and stopped at the 16th floor in a blink of an eye.
Meng Wan smiled habitually. Unexpectedly, the elevator door opened. A clean man in a white shirt walked out. He was carrying a suitcase in one hand and a large shopping bag in the other. When he saw her, the man stopped slightly. After looking at her a few times, he nodded at Meng Wan as if he knew him, then passed by Meng Wan, and finally stopped in front of the house opposite Meng Wan.
Meng Wan frowned. The opposite was Professor Lu’s house. Professor Lu’s family of three had moved to the United States a long time ago. They haven’t returned for several years. Is this man a tenant? But the Lu family’s house seems to have never been rented out.
“Is it your takeaway?”
Meng Wan was still staring at the man in the white shirt, and the takeaway brother who followed the man out of the elevator said aloud.
Meng Wan regained his senses, took the delivery, and said “thank you” to the delivery boy.
The takeaway boy left, Meng Wan walked back, and noticed that the man in the white shirt had been flipping his pockets, as if looking for the key. Meng Wan couldn’t help but ask him, “Are you a tenant of the Lu family?”
If so, the two will live opposite each other, of course Meng Wan has to understand briefly.
Lu Chaoqing seemed to have heard some joke, turned around, frowned and asked, “Don’t you know me?”
The two families of Lu and Meng have been living in front of each other. Although the two do not have much contact, they will simply greet each other when they go out. The impression of Lu Chaoqing talking to Meng’s mother is particularly deep. In Lu Chaoqing’s memory, Meng Wan was a little girl who liked to wear skirts. Apart from being very beautiful, she was not much different from other coquettish girls.
Lu Chaoqing moved to the United States with his parents after graduating from high school. At that time, Meng Wan was supposed to be in high school. It stands to reason that a high school student should not have such a bad memory. Even though Meng’s mother complained about her daughter’s test scores all the year round, it can be inferred that her IQ is not good.
Meng Wan really didn’t remember Lu Chaoqing.
She only remembered that there was a boy in the Lu family who was very good at learning. He was two grades higher than her. It was said that the boy was a nerd and seldom went out to play. Meng Wan hadn’t met him many times, and I learned more about him from his mother. Open your mouth, today I said that Chaoqing won another award, and tomorrow I said that Chaoqing scored a perfect score…
Later, all three of the Lu family moved away. Meng Wan’s biggest feeling is that his mother finally stopped boasting about other people’s children!
“You are?” Meng Wan stared at Qingjun’s face, and couldn’t find any memories related to him. Such a handsome person, if she had ever met him, she would definitely remember it.
Lu Chaoqing looked at the woman’s confused eyes and finally determined that not only was her IQ not good, her memory was probably below normal.
“I’m Lu Chaoqing.” He said impatiently, and continued to fumble for the key he had placed in his pocket. When he raised his eyes, he saw Meng Wan exaggeratingly covering his mouth.
That was even more stupid, and Lu Chaoqing turned back.
Meng Wan looked at the man who was at least 1.8 meters tall in disbelief. Her last memory of Lu Chaoqing was the appearance of a tall and thin senior high school student. It looks good, but this year Lu Chaoqing should be 27 or 28 years old. Well, it’s like a small sapling has grown into a tall and tall tree. His overall outline has changed, and his temperament is even different. How does she recognize it?
“You, have you returned home?” Meng Wan asked blankly.
Lu Chaoqing didn’t want to answer such obvious questions.
The man’s face was cold, and he looked like he was too lazy to talk to people. Meng Wan finally remembered that he hadn’t recognized him just now. It was too rude, and subconsciously explained: “Sorry, I haven’t seen him for too long. You have changed a lot from your high school years. , I didn’t recognize it for a while.”
Lu Chaoqing hummed.
He doesn’t blame her, some people are inherently stupid, he understands.
