Chapter 99 - The Villain and the Male Lead are about to meet (2)
On a certain level, the reason that Mr. Gu and Ms. Lin Ping were such a compatible couple might be because they were always on the same wavelength.
The old couple picked a good day on the lunar calendar that was good for travel as their departure date...
Which was the very next day!
Even though Ms. Lin Ping did say "as soon as possible", nobody expected it to be so soon!
Lin Yiyi and the two kids were not ready for her to be gone yet.
This lady enjoyed travelling light. She and Mr. Gu brought with them one suitcase each on their way back; now they were also leaving with one suitcase each.
The only difference was, the content inside her suitcase and the purse in her hand have been swapped out to the new ones she had purchased here.
Lin Yiyi had Little Chen take Meng Shanshan to her dance lesson and went with Meng Yuran to take the old couple to the airport.
At the airport, Lin Yiyi started to bawl...
NOT!
Never mind how optimistic the couple was previously, Ms. Lin Ping even patted her daughter on her shoulder before she left and said to her, "My biggest regret this time was failing to find you a good man during this trip. But don't worry. When mom returns next time, she will arrange a few more dates for you."
Lin Yiyi, "......"
Why was this lady so persistent when it came to this?
Meng Yuran, who also heard when she said, took a look at the time on his cell phone, and urged, "Grandma, grandpa, it's time!"
Hurry up and leave!
After seeing the couple off, Lin Yiyi noticed that and Meng Yuran still seemed a little bit down. She just assumed that little kids didn't like the separation blue and said to him, "Didn't Xu Jie and the others asked you out a few times? Why don't you go out with them? it's so boring to be home alone during summer vacation... Look at your sister, even she has signed up for two extracurricular lessons."
He had been quite close to Xu Jie, Li Yuebin, and Xie Ning, plus they would just be going from their privately-run grade school to its junior high school. It's just a matter of swapping to a different building. They would still be going to the same school. If luck would have it, they would be classmates for another three years.
Lin Yiyi knew that Meng Yuran didn't like to make friends much. It wasn't easy to have three friends coming from the same grade school.
Plus, she had met all three of them, and they were all good kids. Naturally, she hoped that Meng Yuran would continue to hang out with them.
It was better than him sitting around with that cold look of his and looking unhappy day in and day out. He just might flip and turn into a villain one of these days.
Meng Yuran nodded, and it so happened that Xu Jie was calling.
Xu Jie was a chatty one. Before Meng Yuran was even able to say "Hello", Xu Jie had already started talking, "Little Yuran, we're having a friendly game at school this afternoon. We have already invited you a few times before. You can't bail on us this time..."
"I will be there."
".... If you are not coming..."
Xu Jie paused all of a sudden, as though he had yet to process Meng Yuran's words. His silence sounded like a pause button that had just been hit.
Just when Meng Yuran was about to lose his patience, Xu Jie had come back to life again. "For reals? You are coming? I am telling you now, you can't back out now that you have said yes. Else I will go to your house and drag you out..."
Meng Yuran rolled his eyes.
