58

Zhuang Yan admitted that he had been in the business world for so many years, and had seen all kinds of grand scenes, but the scene before him was a little beyond his control.

Bai Menglu seemed to be just chatting casually, but facing her pair of smiling eyes, Zhuang Yan couldn't be gentle and polite.

In the end, he just coughed and brought the fruit tray to Bai Menglu: "Eat some fruit."

"Thank you, Zhuang." Bai Menglu rarely saw Zhuang Yan flustered like this, and for a moment, she felt a little refreshing and interesting. It turned out

that Zhuang Yan wasn't always carefree and unhurried.

She liked him occasionally showing a little embarrassment, because like this, he looked more like an ordinary person.

Bai Menglu fed the orange into her mouth, Zhuang Yan sat by the bed, looked at her and said: "Why are you having a fever?"

"Ah, I'm not clear either, last night I still had hot pot, today it's suddenly like this."

Zhuang Yan stared at her, smiling but not smiling, the

corner of her mouth curled up: "With whom did you eat hot pot? Zhou Jia Ning?" "..." Bai Meng Lu again had that damn guilty feeling, "No, it's with Yuan Yuan! I know, it must be the last time I was painting at Tao's grandfather's place, I caught a cold."

Going to Tao's grandfather's place to paint a cold, how could it be considered a work accident? Seeing that she had a fever, Zhuang Zong probably wouldn't pursue her anymore, right?

Zhuang Yan really didn't ask anymore, just calculated the time and let her take out the thermometer.

"37.6, still have a slight fever."

"It's not a big problem, I'll be fine after a day of rest."

"Mm." Zhuang Yan neatly put the thermometer back in the medicine box, then took out a bottle of cough syrup, "If your throat isn't comfortable, you can drink a little."

"Okay." Bai Menglu took the sugar water, and after a moment of silence, said, "Last night I really asked Zhou Jianing to go eat hot pot, but in the end I didn't eat it."

Zhuang Yan gently raised her eyebrows, looked at her and said, "Why?"

"Because I suddenly discovered that Zhou Jianing and Jiang Chi knew each other." Bai Menglu rubbed the sugar water in her hand, but didn't open it to drink, "Jiang Chi is my mother and Uncle Jiang's child."

Zhuang Yan nodded, "That's the one because you went to do a birth control for him, and ended up causing your younger brother to almost get a fever and burn to death?"

"...Yes." Absolutely didn't expect that, she said casually, Zhuang Zong would actually remember it so clearly.

"So?"

Bai Menglu sighed, and said to him, "You don't know, my grandfather left me a legacy,still very rich, Jiang Zhi has always been dissatisfied with this matter."

Zhuang Yan analyzed herself a bit, opened her mouth and said: "So he colluded with Zhou Jia Ning to cheat you of your inheritance?"

"... That's about right." Bai Meng Lu slowly nodded.

Zhuang Yan chuckled: "They are still very confident."

"... Who said it wasn't. "

From the beginning, the love president list didn't have you, they felt that the chance of winning was very big." Bai Meng Lu from the beginning also really wanted to stir up CP with Zhou Jia Ning, but that was only limited to the program, out of the program, let alone she didn't want to talk about love at all, even if it was a discussion, the choice of the target was not like a small room like this limited to four male guests.

"Maybe in this world, there are too many women who were cheated of money by men, give them confidence." Bai Meng Lu lowered her head, and stuffed an orange into her mouth, "Actually, my grandfather's inheritance, I haven't officially inherited it yet."

Zhuang Yan asked: "Is there a problem with the inheritance procedure?"

"No." Bai Menglu shook her head, "When my grandfather made his will, he mentioned a condition, which was that he hoped I could get married."

This condition was a bit beyond Zhuang Yan's expectations: "Why?"

"Because he didn't want me to grow old alone." Bai Menglu lifted her head, looked at him and smiled, "My grandfather knows, because my parents' marriage failed, I didn't have any expectations for love and marriage, when I was studying abroad, he only hoped that I could try to contact some boys, but I wasn't willing. Later, my grandmother passed away, and my grandfather's body also turned into a sickly one, and he found a lawyer to make this will at that time. He was afraid that after he left, I would have no family."

Zhuang Yan didn't speak, Bai Menglu handed him an orange: "Do you want to eat it? It's still very sweet."

"Um." Zhuang Yan took the orange, "It's the kind of orange I bought at the market last time, a good quality one."

Bai Menglu immediately felt that the orange in her mouth was even sweeter, so it was probably because of the money filtering out the glass: "Then I have to eat two more."

Zhuang Yan laughed, "I let Meng Xi buy a whole box, and put them all in your kitchen."

"Wow, thank you Zhuang Zong." The smile on Bai Menglu's face was even redder than before, she fed herself another orange, and then opened her mouth to say, "Actually, my grandfather thinks too much, because I've grown up, I can be a family by myself."

Zhuang Yan lowered her eyes, and stuffed the orange into the corner of her mouth, but it wasn't as sweet as he imagined, instead it felt a little bitter.

"During that period of time, my grandfather often came to confide in me. He told me that in the world, there was not only my parents' marriage, there was also him and my grandmother. My grandfather and grandmother always loved each other very much, so I knew that marriage also had happiness, it was just that this kind of happiness could be encountered but could not be sought." Bai Menglu also put the last orange into her mouth, "It makes sense to say that. On one hand, my grandfather hoped that I would get married so that I could feel the warmth of family again, but on the other hand, he did not trust men, so he also left the middle finger of his will to me as his sole owner. Even if I got married, it would not be a joint property between husband and wife. Jiang Zhi did not know about this at all, so even if he found a man to marry me, that inheritance would still be mine alone."

After listening, Trang Yen thought for a while and said: "So you really want to stay unmarried for the rest of your life? I feel that it is impossible for Elder Bach not to give you his inheritance."..

After all, regardless of whether there is love or not, having money to live on is a guarantee. There is no way Old Master Bai would not consider this point. "You still understand him very well." Bai Menglu looked at Zhuang Yan, "The will indeed said that if I reach forty years old and still haven't started a family, I can unconditionally inherit the inheritance. Moreover, there is a very big loophole in this part of the will." "

What loophole?"

"It doesn't stipulate that I have to marry a man!"

Zhuang Yan: "..."

"I feel that this is my grandfather's original intention. He hopes that someone can accompany me, whether it's a man or a woman." Bai Menglu said, "Before, he let me come into contact with a boy. I wasn't willing, so he tried to probe and ask me, is it okay if I don't come into contact with a girl?"

"..." Zhuang Yan gently bit her lower lip, "Old Master Bai is very enlightened on this point."

"Indeed." Bai Menglu nodded, "So I even thought about it before, find my best friend to go get the certificate first, then divide the money with her to thank her for her help. However, after returning to the country, I've always been too busy, and haven't had time to do it."

Zhuang Yan: "..."

That should have many people wanting to be your best friend. :)

"Alright, you just got here, you still have to pay attention to rest." Zhuang Yan stood up from the bed, "You sleep a little more, I let Meng Xi buy a lot of things, if you're hungry and want to eat something, you can go to the kitchen to find it."

"Oh." Bai Menglu looked up at him, "You want to go?"

"Yeah, it's already noon, I still have a meeting at the company in the afternoon."

Bai Menglu was stunned: "It's already noon? Then have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet."

"Then you eat right here." Bai Menglu said and wanted to get off the bed, "Let's eat together."

"..." Zhuang Yan looked at her, silent for a moment, "Didn't you just eat a bowl of noodles?"

"That's right, but isn't this breakfast?"

"..."

"Moreover, you didn't cook much, you must be hungry now?"

"... Yeah." Zhuang Yan asked her to pack her clothes carefully, telling her not to catch a cold again, "So what do you want to eat at noon?"

Bai Menglu asked him back: "Didn't you say that Meng Special Assistant brought a lot of things? Let's eat whatever we have."

Meng Xi brought a lot of vegetables and fruits, as well as porridge from the world. These were what Zhuang Yan left for Bai Menglu to eat, all stored in a warming box, and were still hot now.

He opened the warming box,He took out two sets of bowls and chopsticks and placed the food on the table one by one.

Bai Menglu washed her face and came out of the room. When she saw the table set with porridge and side dishes, she immediately felt a sense of happiness increase: "Sickness really does bring special treatment."

Zhuang Yan sat at the dining table, raised her head to look at her: "So you really like getting sick?"

Bai Menglu pulled out the chair opposite him, sat down in front of a bowl of porridge: "When I was little, I was really like this, I even intentionally made myself sick."

Zhuang Yan took a spoon and scooped a spoonful of porridge, put it in her mouth, and looked towards Bai Menglu opposite: "Wouldn't it just be to eat a bite of your grandma's tomato noodles and egg noodles,

right?" "Of course not, even if I wasn't sick, grandma would make it for me when I wanted to eat." Bai Menglu also scooped a spoonful of porridge, "There were times when I was with my parents, I still wanted to get more attention from them, so I would intentionally torture myself to be sick. Later on, I discovered that when I got sick, they were more likely to get angry, so I never used this trick again. Later on, the number of times I met them became less and less."

Bai Menglu looked at the food on the table, then looked at Zhuang Yan sitting opposite, and smiled faintly: "However, today I found that kind of feeling of being loved, thank you Zhuang Zong."

"..." Zhuang Yan concealed and drank a mouthful of porridge, then opened her mouth to say, "Thinking of thanking me, also quickly get better."

"Good, wait for me very well, I invite you to eat hot pot." Bai Menglu smiled at him and said, "That house's hot pot is really delicious, unfortunately yesterday I didn't have any appetite."

Zhuang Yan raised her eyes to look at her, and also smiled a little: "So yesterday's Zhou Jianing matter was too much of a blow to you, to the point that you couldn't get sick today? You still care about him very much."

"... No, I said I caught a cold at the Tao family's place!" Bai Menglu now wanted to bite this point to death, "Moreover, the one who caused the blow to me was not Zhou Jianing, but Jiang Chi, which made me think of many unhappy memories from when I was a child. I always had nightmares last night!"

Zhuang Yan pursed her lips, somewhat regretting what she had just said. He picked up his chopsticks and put some food in Bai Menglu's bowl, and said to her, "Trust your grandmother, eating some delicious food will start to make you happy."

Bai Menglu looked at him, and deliberately asked, "Why don't you call me Qianqian? I remember just now when you coaxed me to stand up and eat noodles, you called me that."

Zhuang Yan: "..."

He smiled, and said in a hostly manner, "That's because you called me grandma first, if you also become your grandma, of course you have to play this role well. Right, Qianqian?"

Bai Menglu: "..."

The two had just finished talking when a knock came from the door. Trang Yen let Bach Mong Lo sit down and stood up to open the door.

Standing outside the door was a gentle middle-aged woman with makeup. After seeing Trang Yen open the door, she was stunned on the spot...
