The Villain and the Cannon Fodder’s Mother

Chapter 174 – She really wanted a lollipop to calm her nerves! (2)

By the time Lin Yiyi found out about it, Meng Yuran was already inside of Zhang Xiying’s car. He told Lin Yiyi over the phone, “Meng Yan had me and Shanshan go over to his place. We will be back latest by tomorrow.”

Knowing that Meng Yan’s plan was to spend the entire National Holiday with the two kids, Zhang Xiying almost slipped her hands off the steering wheel when she heard Meng Yuran’s words.

This child has a lot of his own ideas; Meng Yan was probably no match for him. She has a headache. How was he so rude as to refer to his own father by his full name?

Lin Yiyi went silent for a little bit before she expressed her acknowledgement.

Meng Yan had brought this up about a month ago. She didn’t agree to it right away. As time had gone by, she had forgotten to mention it to her two children.

Truth was, it wasn’t important how she felt about it. The key was what the two children wanted to do. Meng Yan was their birth father. It’d only be reasonable that the children wanted to spend time with their father. Besides, it wasn’t like they wouldn’t be back again.

Unlike his lackadaisical mother, Meng Yuran worried about the intelligence of the two women at home.

That little fool didn’t even ask him before she left with that man. Did she have so much candy that her brain was blocked?

He didn’t elaborate on the call about how Meng Yan and his wife had tricked him and his sister intentionally. He didn’t want his family to be worried. Except that…

He was still upset as he sat in the backseat.

Meng Yan’s mansion was closed to both mountains and water, and its scenery in the day time was very nice.

The only problem was that it was far from the city. That was what was going through Meng Yuran’s mind the entire trip there. It’d be very difficult to even flag down a taxi unless Meng Yan or his wife would take them back.

Once they arrived at their destination, the car drove slowly past a garden and a row of parking spots before arriving at the front door of the mansion. Meng Shanshan, who had been waiting by the window for her brother the entire time, dashed out of the front door excitedly.

“Big Brother~” The little girl smiled so much that drool was about to come out of her mouth. She ran all the way up to the car. When she finally saw Meng Yuran get out of it, she threw herself at him. “Big Brother, why did it take you so long to get here?”

Little fool!

Meng Yuran couldn’t help but flick her on her forehead.

The affectionate exchange between the brother and sister made others envious.

Getting out of the passenger side, Zhang Xiruo looked at the two of them enviously.

The little girl, while holding her hands over her forehead, spotted Zhang Xiruo right away. Sensing the danger of losing her brother immediately, she held onto Meng Yuran’s shirt even tighter. “Who is she?”

Zhang Xiying, who had just finished parking the car, heard Meng Shanshan. Placing her hands over Zhang Xiruo’s shoulders, Zhang Xiying said to Meng Shanshan with a smile, “Her name is Zhang Xiruo. She can play with the two of you.”

Then, she lowered her head and said to Zhang Xiruo, “This one is little sister Shanshan and that one is big brother Yuran.”

Zhang Xiruo was a docile one and she repeated “little sister Shanshan” and “big brother Yuran” after Zhang Xiying.

Meng Shanshan looked at her curiously.

Meng Yuran, on the other hand, was starting to lose his patience.

It so happened that Meng Yan was standing by the front entrance of the mansion as though he was there to greet them.

Meng Yuran walked over there with the little fool in tow.

Meng Yuran, still in his adolescence, was already 1.65 meter in height. Even though he was still an entire head’s length shorter than Meng Yan, his aura was no weaker.

“Where will we be staying?”

Meng Yan, who was just about to exchange some pleasantries with him, paused for a bit and replied, “Second floor… we have the guest rooms prepared already.”

Zhang Xiying walked up after them as well.

She hasn’t even had a chance to show them the rooms that they had prepared for them before the young man had already walked straight toward the stairs with the little girl in his hand without sparing the rest of them even one look.

Zhang Xiying and Meng Yan, left behind, exchanged a look with each other.

Also left behind was Zhang Xiruo with a curious and baffled look.

Meng Yan had not expected that meeting his son whom he hadn’t seen in a few months would be like this. That wasn’t how he had envisioned it.

Meng Shanshan just looked baffled, especially after her brother had taken her into the bedroom and looked at her as though he was looking at a fool. So scary!

She really wanted a lollipop to calm her nerves!

As she thought about it, she sneakily reached one hand into her pocket. As expected, she pulled out a lollipop.

Then, after she had peeled away the wrapper, but before she could put it inside of her mouth, the lollipop was snatched away from her.

Dumbfounded, she watched as her brother stuffed the lollipop inside of his own mouth. He even said to her, “Candies are bad for you. You do want your front teeth to grow back, right?”

Double whammy!
