"You're awake, my sister. Hurry up and eat. You start work tomorrow. I'll take you out to play today.”
Meng Lin dragged his lazy body and sat lazily on the chair. The table was filled with western food, fried eggs, sandwiches, milk, and fruit salad. Wow, they were all Meng Lin's favorite food. Ever since he came to the Xia residence, he had not eaten western food for a long time. He almost choked on the sandwich in two bites. He quickly drank a glass of milk and pounded his chest. It was really delicious.
"How long has it been since you last ate? I remember you had dinner last night.”Azurepeak smiled calmly.
"I don't eat Western food at all in my hometown. I really like Western food.”
"Then eat more, as long as you're not afraid of getting fat.”
"Brother, where are we going today?”
"Where do you want to go?"
"Uh…Western Cafe."
"Why do you want to go there?" Azurepeak was a little surprised.
"I just want to go." Meng Lin smiled mischievously.
After breakfast, Azurepeak drove his sister to the Western Cafe. The environment here was very elegant. There were a few foreigners and a few couples. Meng Lin was filled with curiosity about the coffee shop. She looked around, but only she knew that she was comparing the coffee shop to the coffee shop that she frequented before she transmigrated. There was a bookshelf in the corner of the coffee shop, but this coffee shop had a phonograph. The counter of the coffee shop was black, while the one here was white. The sofa of the coffee shop was red and brown, while the one here was all black. The service staff of the coffee shop were wearing shirts, pants, and aprons. Western-style uniforms in coffee shops were western-style vests, while black coffee shops were…Haha, so different. Thinking of this, Meng Lin really laughed.”She smiled. Azurepeak was shocked by this smile.
"What's so funny?" Azurepeak asked.
"This cafe is really fun."
"You've been in England for a few years. You've seen all kinds of coffee shops. Why is this place different from those coffee shops?”
"You don't understand." Meng Lin deliberately looked at Azurepeak with disdain. He stirred the coffee a few times, took a sip, and frowned." This coffee isn't as good as the coffee in the future."”
"What did you say?" Azurepeak thought he had heard wrong.
"It's nothing." Meng Lin said mischievously.
"Coffee from now on? What do you mean?"
"Then answer my question from last night. What kind of woman do you like?”Meng Lin grinned.
"Alright, you set me up."
"Tell me quickly, what kind of woman do you like?”
"Answer my question first, then I'll tell you.”
"No, I can't. I asked you first."
"Then forget it. I don't want to know your answer either, so don't ask for my answer.”
"Brother, I said if…It's just if…It's just if…"
"If what?"
"If we weren't siblings and were classmates, would you fall in love with me?”
The moment Meng Lin said this, Azurepeak, who was drinking coffee, choked.
"Aiyaya, be careful. Why did you choke?”Meng Lin said as he handed a napkin to his brother. Azurepeak kept coughing and his fair face was red. Meng Lin's heart ached when he saw his brother's uncomfortable look. He hurriedly handed him a napkin and poured some water. In an instant, he was also flustered.
After a while, Azurepeak slowly calmed down. He took a sip of coffee and looked at his silly sister helplessly." What are you thinking about all day? It's really hard to believe that you studied hard in England."”
"Aiya, quickly answer me. I said it's just if. It's not true.”
"We are siblings from the same mother, not classmates, so there are no ifs in history.”
"But if…"
"Let's change the topic, sister." Azurepeak smiled slyly. When Meng Lin saw it, he had no choice but to give up.
"I'm now very suspicious of what you've done in England all those years. With your little brain, I don't believe that you're focused on studying.”
"Uh…sometimes I study, sometimes I play. Life isn't just about studying.”
"What are we playing?"
"Sometimes I walk around, sometimes I come out for coffee.”
"Alone, or with some handsome man.”Azurepeak smiled.
"Aiya, with a girl."
"British?"
"No, he has black hair like me.”
"Are you from China?"
"Brother, look, the sun is so bright outside. It's a pity for us to stay here. Let's go out and bask in the sun.”After Meng Lin finished speaking, he picked up his bag and left.
"Eh? This girl." Azurepeak followed helplessly.
The Huangpu River was right outside the door, and the surging waters rose and fell. The two of them came to the riverside, and the light breeze ruffled Meng Lin's hair, adding a sexy beauty to her. Qing Feng told Meng Lin, Every time his grandfather returned to his hometown, he would set off from Huangpu River. As long as there was a river mouth, it would be a living dock. The economy of such a place would definitely develop. His grandfather was poor when he was young. When he first came to Shanghai, he carried big bags. Because he was tall and strong, he was very capable. The shopkeeper thought that he was kind and kind, so he let him be an accountant. His grandfather was very fair as an accountant. His pen had never been crooked. Once, because a clerk calculated the wrong decimals, his grandfather personally accompanied the clerk to calculate the accounts for the year. He did the abacus all night and slept. Because of this, the shopkeeper thought that his grandfather was very dedicated. Later on, he had been focusing on training him. The shopkeeper had no children, and his grandfather had taken care of the old couple in their later years, so he had adopted the company to his grandfather. When he was adopted by his grandfather, it was just a small company. A few years after his grandfather took over, it became the current three big companies. Grandpa's most admirable thing was that he wore silk and satin in Shanghai, changed into a patched coat when he returned to his hometown, fought to do farm work, fought to take broken bread when eating, and left the good bread for his family to eat. When they were enjoying the delicacies in Shanghai, they would think of the old and young in their hometown. Therefore, every time they returned to their hometown, they would buy a lot of high-quality cloth and dried fish to show filial piety to the elderly at home. Therefore, in an era when many poor people could not afford to eat, our Xia family often ate fish and meat. This made others envious. Therefore, the fish heads that our family threw away when washing fish were picked up by our neighbors to be pickled at home. When Azurepeak said this, Meng Lin burst out laughing.
"This is what our father told me. Our father is the eldest in the family. When Grandpa was at his most glorious, he was also sensible. He often listened to Grandpa talk about the outside world. It was not impossible to marinate fish heads in salted vegetables. In that era, there were many people who could not afford to eat. In fact, there were also people in this era. On the streets of Shanghai, beggars could sometimes be seen.”
"No wonder I saw Grandfather's shadow on Father. It turns out that he had been influenced by Grandfather since he was young.”
"That's possible."
"Then what about Second Aunt, Third Uncle, and Fourth Uncle?”
"Second Aunt's marriage was arranged by Grandfather. Second Uncle's character is not bad, he is loyal, and his job is good. Second Aunt could be considered a daughter of a noble family. Grandpa also wanted to nurture Third Uncle when he was young so that he could do business with our father in the future. However, he sent him out once and secretly came back at night. After that, Grandpa never let him go out again. Fourth Uncle was not interested in doing business and preferred to study, so Grandpa decided to let him go to university.”
"I think Father, Third Uncle, and Fourth Uncle are completely different types of people.”
"That's right. At first, the family also thought that there was such a big difference between biological brothers. Later on, they thought about it. Grandpa often told his father that the family business could not be given to Third Brother. Otherwise, the Xia family would be doomed.”Azurepeak sighed.
"Brother, I've long wanted to come to Shanghai to learn how to do business. I feel that there are all kinds of infighting in the Xia residence.”
"Hehe, silly girl, do you think that companies in Shanghai are just and aboveboard? There are conflicts everywhere, but you don't know the inside story.”
Meng Lin was just about to ask,"What inside story?"”Suddenly, a black jeep rushed towards the siblings. The driver in the car honked and interrupted the conversation between the siblings. Seeing that the car did not seem to be able to stop, the siblings were shocked by the honking. Meng Lin could not help but exclaim," Ah!”...
When Meng Lin called out, Azurepeak hurriedly used his body to block his sister. At this critical moment, the jeep braked abruptly and stopped a meter away from the siblings.
Before the siblings could recover from their shock, they heard the car door slam.”"Green Peak." A loud male voice sounded.
Azurepeak suddenly turned around. He was stunned at first, then he was surprised and happy. He punched the other party's arm and pretended to be angry."Hao Yashuo, are you trying to kill me?”，After saying that, the other party laughed.
Meng Lin felt that her brother had met someone familiar, but the scene just now had left her in a state of shock and fear.
"You were really dangerous. What if someone died?”Qingfeng said
"Haha, it's fine, it's fine. You know my driving skills. I saw a man by the Huangpu River who looked like you, so I drove over. It really is you.”
"You scared my sister. I was about to jump into the river with her.”
"Haha, don't jump into the river, don't jump into the river. If you want to jump, you have to jump off the building, haha.”
The two of them chatted and laughed for a while. Suddenly, they remembered their sister behind them. Azurepeak said to Yashuo,"This is my sister. I've mentioned her to you before.”
"What a beauty. Why isn't she my sister? Haha.”
Azurepeak turned around and said to Meng Lin," This is my university classmate, Hao Yashuo. We've been roommates for four years, so we often joke around. Don't mind him."”
"Hello," Meng Lin smiled politely, and Ya Shuo also smiled back politely.
"Azurepeak, you're back after the new year. Are you not leaving Shanghai for the time being?”
"Yes, it's decided for the time being. I'll learn business for a period of time first.”
"That's great. We must get together more often.”Ya Shuo patted Azurepeak's shoulder.
