Chapter 115 Chu Jingyan's Back-up Plan
next day
After the show was recorded, the rest of the people had already left.

"Second brother, bye." Chu Jingyan and Chu Yan had already gotten into the car.

"Sister, I want to stay with you." Chu Yan pouted and wrinkled his little face.

Meng Qingyi touched his head and said, "Sister will be back tomorrow."

Chu Jingyan didn't say anything and told the driver to leave.

Meng Qingyi frowned. She always felt that Chu Jingyan was not in a very good mood today and was colder to her than usual.

She didn't have time to worry about it, she had to hurry to meet up with Huo Rao.

When she saw Huo Rao, her expression changed.

"Miss Meng, you don't mind if we go together, right?" Gu Nanjue said in a gentle tone, and Xi Yu stood obediently beside him.

Meng Qingyi turned her gaze to Huo Rao, who also looked helpless.

Meng Qingyi pursed her lips and said, "I don't mind."

……

The Meng residence was less than two streets away from where Meng Qingyi and her group were. It took Meng Qingyi and her group less than ten minutes to reach the door.

Gu Nanjue looked at the majestic gate in front of him and asked suspiciously, "Miss Meng, is this where you want to come?"

Meng Qingyi nodded, "This is my grandfather's house."

Meng Qingyi knocked on the door, and a minute later, the door was pushed open from the inside.

"Miss." A surprised voice sounded.

"Uncle Meng."

"Come in quickly, the master is waiting." Uncle Meng already knew that Meng Qingyi would come back today.

"Uncle Meng." Huo Rao walked forward.

"Miss Huo?" Uncle Meng was surprised.

"Long time no see, Uncle Meng."

Uncle Meng smiled and said, "Miss Huo hasn't been here for almost two years. I didn't expect that she still remembered me?"

Huo Rao raised her lips, "Uncle Meng, I've always been thinking about your specialty."

"Then today you must taste carefully to see if my cooking skills have deteriorated." Uncle Meng said as he welcomed them in. He glanced at Gu Nanjue and Xi Yu behind him and couldn't help asking, "Who is this?"

Huo Rao tilted her head and said vaguely, "My boyfriend Gu Nanjue and his nephew Xi Yu."

Uncle Meng understood, and the smile on his face widened, "Oh, Mr. Gu, please."

Uncle Meng led them through the courtyard corridor, and when they were approaching the living room, they heard bursts of hearty laughter.

Meng Qingyi was puzzled, "Uncle Meng, does Grandpa have any guests?"

Uncle Meng's eyes got bigger, didn't the young lady know?

Before Uncle Meng could reply, they had already reached the main entrance of the living room.

Meng Qingyi looked at the person in front of her and was stunned.

"Yi Yi, what's wrong?" Huo Rao almost bumped into Meng Qingyi before she could see clearly.

The people in the living room also looked towards the door.

Huo Zheng's cheerful voice rang out, "Yi Yi, Xiao Rao, come quickly, why are you so late?"

"Sister." Chu Yan ran over, took her hand and walked in.

Meng Qingyi reacted, nodded stiffly, and followed Chu Yan into the house.

"Grandpa." Huo Rao followed him in and called out, holding a gift box in her hand.

Gu Nanjue followed him in and politely called out, "Grandpa, sorry to bother you."

"Xiao Gu, you are here too." Huo Zheng called Gu Nanjue, "Sit down."

After recording a whole day of the show yesterday, Huo Zheng and Gu Nanjue became quite familiar with each other.

Gu Nanjue curled his lips and smiled, then sat down opposite Chu Jingyan, and their eyes met.

Chu Jingyan raised his eyebrows, as if asking him why he followed him? Gu Nanjue narrowed his eyes, and he seemed to understand what was going on.

Meng Qingyi sat down next to Chu Jingyan with her body stiff, tilted her head and whispered, "Second brother, what's wrong with you?"

Chu Jingyan curled his lips and said, "Since you didn't take me to meet your parents, I had no choice but to come to them myself."

Chu Jingyan's heart softened when he saw her embarrassment.

Meng Qingyi was stunned for a moment, and looked at Chu Jingyan in surprise, "I wanted to bring you here, don't you have something to do?"

Chu Jingyan narrowed his eyes, "If you hadn't discovered it, would you have told me?"

Meng Qingyi frowned. Is he angry?

Meng Qingyi was about to start coaxing him when Huo Zheng said, "Yiyi, Xiaochu said you live next door to him in Jing City, right?"

Meng Qingyi nodded obediently, "My uncle just bought the house next to his."

"That's good. I was worried that you were alone in Beijing and no one would take care of you." Huo Zheng had a kind face and a cheerful voice.

"Girl, you are hiding your relationship. If I hadn't found out on the show this time, would you still be hiding it from me?" Huo Zheng changed the subject and started to settle the score.

Meng Qingyi felt depressed and lowered her head. "I thought I would arrange a meeting for you two after mom returns to China."

Chu Jingyan raised his eyebrows and looked at her, and the depression in his heart eased a little.

"Your mother will be back next week. We can then arrange a time for the two families to meet." Huo Zheng made the final decision.

"Xiao Rao, you should come too. I haven't seen you for a long time. You too, girl, don't even come to see an old man like me."

Huo Rao pursed her lips, "Okay, Grandpa."

Huo Zheng and Chu Jingyan were chatting happily and their laughter was getting louder. Gu Nanjue could also join in a few words. There was a parrot in the garden, and Chu Yan and Xi Yu had already gone to play with the parrot.

Soon, Uncle Meng invited everyone to the table, and the food was ready.

"Meng, call Zhiyi, where is he?"

“So many people are waiting for him.”

Uncle Meng received the instructions and was about to make a phone call.

"dad."

"From the sound of your voice, you don't sound like a sick person at all." Meng Zhiyi, wearing a light black suit, stepped into the living room.

Meng Zheng was choked and coughed, "I called you to go home a long time ago, why did you come back now?"

"The company has something urgent to do."

Chu Jingyan stood up, straightened his clothes, and called softly, "Uncle."

Meng Zhiyi looked at him and said calmly, "Mr. Chu, long time no see."

He glanced around and his eyes fell on Huo Rao, "Huo Rao?"

Huo Rao seemed to have lost her soul since Meng Zhiyi came in. She choked and said, "Uncle."

Meng Zhiyi nodded and moved his gaze to Gu Nanjue beside him, "Why is Mr. Gu here too?"

The relationship between the Meng and Gu families can be traced back to ten years ago, when Meng Zhiyi had just opened up the Beijing market and the cooperative enterprise was the Gu family, but at that time it was still Gu Nanjue's father who was in power.

"Boss Meng, it's been a long time."

"I'm here with my girlfriend." Gu Nanjue glanced at Huo Rao's ugly face and frowned slightly.

After he finished speaking, Meng Zhiyi was stunned, "You and Huo Rao?"

Huo Rao froze in place. Gu Nanjue frowned and put his arm around her shoulders, "Yeah."

The depth in Meng Zhiyi's eyes deepened a little more. He curled his fingers and smiled slightly.

"Meng, it's time to eat."

Uncle Meng invited everyone to the table. The Meng family had not been so lively for a long time, and Meng Zheng was very happy.

After they sat at the table, Meng Zheng sat at the head seat. "This is the flavor of our Nanshi cuisine. I wonder if you guys can get used to it?"

"Grandpa, this is very delicious." Chu Jingyan picked up a piece of potato and put it into his mouth.
