Chapter 04: Grant Me Dreams

Xiao Shu also put away his usual nonchalance and, like an elder, patted Su Ge on the shoulder: "Are you overthinking it? Do we really need to personally step in to keep someone here? Just take a good rest and stop overanalyzing."

Suge took out his phone from his bag, opened the chat window with Meng Snian, and scrolled a few times... still not at the end, he flipped a few more pages, yet it was still not at the end. Suge muttered, "Why are there so many? How long do I have to listen to this?"

Suge rubbed his waist and legs: "My whole body hurts, did you hit me?"

"Don't tell him, seeing it is not enough to make him angry." Old Master Su threw the remaining orange segments onto the side table, turned around, and lay down with his back to Su Ge

Meng Snian raised his glass and drank more than half of the wine: "Otherwise, what?"

Meng Si did not move, only asking: "Did someone call you?"

It was also seen by Meng Sian!

Suge was amused by his childish antics

Meng Sian finally looked at her and glared, saying: "Do you still dare to ask? Just listen to the voice message you sent."

Luo Yang looked ahead at a man and a woman walking out together, and with a slight gesture of her lips, she remarked: "Their relationship is clearly not ordinary."

like

Suge: "... ..."

"Washing your face is enough, what more do you need to tidy up?" Hualing raised an eyebrow at her. The young girl had a good natural complexion and always appeared barefaced when they met, looking fresh and clean, which was particularly pleasant to behold

California? Is it certain that it can be done? How far in advance do I need to make a reservation?

In the end, I even frightened myself to tears

Is there a lot?

Suge sighed almost inaudibly while resting his forehead on his hand, thinking to himself that if he drank any more alcohol, he would be nothing but a pig

Hualing chuckled: "Then you should wash your face first, there is a new toothbrush in the cabinet"

Meng Sian's fingers caressed the cup holder, and Su Ge glanced over, observing whether he would turn in the same direction as himself. However, he did not drink again: "Is Mr. Su's condition not good?"

Cheng Lan raised her eyebrows slightly, wanting to see how much of it was a joke.

Suge smiled and shook his arm: "Pass it to me, and when I have a son in the future, I will have him take the surname Su, and then I will pass it on to him"

Uncle Meng, are my eyes still swollen

Ghost stories

Meng Sian glanced at her and said, "It has been postponed"

"Would you like some red wine?" Hualing, with sparkling eyes, produced a bottle of wine from somewhere.

Su Tianhao looked at Su Ge and said: "My younger sister, from my uncle's family."

Old Master Su spoke of the ancient craft of pottery-making passed down through several generations of the Su family, recounting how he practiced calligraphy and painting every day. He discussed the challenges of painting on pottery and expressed his pride when mentioning how foreigners appreciate these Chinese handicrafts.

After sitting properly in the passenger seat, Su Ge straightened up and tilted her head to check her makeup in the rearview mirror, thinking to herself: If Meng Sian doesn't notice, then this makeup would have been in vain...

Meng Sian guessed that she might still be asleep, but he did not anticipate that she would look this way while sleeping. Her hair was tousled like a bird's nest, and her eyes were squinted into a narrow slit, completely devoid of her usual cleverness. ... She seemed displeased with his interruption, pouting her lips, and the wide silk nightgown slipped down from one shoulder. Even in the dim light of the entrance, it was still evident that her skin was delicate and fair.

Before leaving the hospital in the evening, Su Ge went to the attending physician to inquire about the status of the stent. The doctor merely stated that they were actively making contact, but it seemed that there was little hope.

"Are you alright?" Hualing glared at him

This remark left Luo Yang momentarily speechless, and Meng Sinian did not wish to say much more to him, gently squeezing Su Ge's hand: "Let us go"

The waiter looked at Su Ge and asked, "One cup?"

He did not continue speaking, and Su Ge's face instantly turned pale. She moved her lips and after a long while finally said: "Which country can do it recently?"

When she just entered the restroom and saw the person in the mirror, she almost smashed the mirror

Suge pouted and said, "What purpose could there be? If I encounter someone in need, I will help as much as I can"

Caught off guard by these words, Cheng Lan was momentarily stunned. He fixed his intense gaze on Su Ge, remaining silent for a long while, with only his ears quietly turning red.

Xiao Shu got into Meng Sinian's car, fastening his seatbelt while looking at him with a smile that was not quite a smile: "Isn't the little girl rather charming?"

Hualing chuckled: "Why can't I stay? Everything is just fine."

She dragged out her long tone, leaving her words unfinished, while Su Tianhao beside her rolled his eyes and filled in the blanks. Immediately, Su Tianhao's expression changed: "Suge, what did you do? Didn't you tell my dad you were broke? What could he possibly do to you?"

Indeed, if it had not been for my mother's insistence back then, my father would have almost returned to the countryside to learn pottery from my grandfather or something like that, thinking about it now is truly frightening

Cheng Lan finally stopped, looking at Su Ge in surprise

She reached out to lift up her nightgown and hobbled away.

The two people who were about to leave after bidding her farewell halted in their tracks upon hearing these words

"Whoever is younger opens the door," Hua Ling said without blinking an eye

He looked up at Su Ge after hearing something he didn't understand and replied, "I didn't dial the wrong number, this is Su Ge's phone, I asked her to answer the call. Me? I am her ... idol"

How could such a Mengsian not move her

After speaking, she turned around and hopped back on one leg. Just with the first step, her leg went weak, and she almost had another intimate encounter with the carpet of the Hualing family. Fortunately, Meng Snian reached out and supported her, and Su Ge grabbed his arm, bouncing back to the sofa and sitting down properly

Meng Sian cast a glance at him, but said nothing

When Meng Sian left, he did not forget to instruct the waiter to deliver dinner to Su Ge's room. On the way back to his room, Su Ge's mind kept echoing that phrase of his.

Not too many, about four or five, said Su Ge as he took a sip of the boiled water brought by the waiter, glancing at Meng Sinian's cocktail, feeling quite tempted to try it but not daring to say so. There are those who directly ask me if I have new songs under the company name, and there are also agents of singers who directly schedule songs.

As she pressed the elevator button while dialing Meng Sinian's number, she was unexpectedly bumped into by two people coming from the opposite direction, causing the money in the paper bag to slip from her grasp and scatter all over the floor

The Emperor Emeritus lives a hundred years: "You still scold me, I am already scared to death and you still scold me, boo hoo..."

Meng Sian stood with his hands in his pockets, looking at her. After Xiao Shu finished speaking, he reached out and pulled his mask down to his chin, asking: "What was your purpose when you drove for more than two hours to take me from Qu Sang to Sha Xi?"

What are you being polite for? Let's go to the professor's place

Su Ge stood up from the chair, took a few steps to the front of Old Master Su, grasped his hand, and quietly inquired if he was feeling unwell anywhere

Suge: "... ..."

Meng Sian absentmindedly replied with "Hmm"

Meng Sian walked over and took the cigarette from her hand. Su Ge reached out to grab it but missed, and it was pressed into the ashtray by him. He commanded somewhat unhappily, "Quit smoking from now on"

Su Ge walked from the hospital to the hotel, feeling as if her heart was filled with stones, her steps heavy, and her throat painfully constricted. Even so, she did not forget to withdraw 20,000 yuan from the ATM. When she entered the hotel holding the money, the hotel staff were startled to see her, fearing that someone might have robbed the young girl right under their noses, and hurriedly handed her a paper bag.

Your grandfather is getting older, and the commonly used surgical methods are no longer viable. The doctor sighed and said, "I have inquired at almost all the hospitals in the country, but none of them have the solution. If we cannot come up with a treatment method..."

Meng Snian: "I have something to attend to tomorrow morning"

Meng Sian raised his eyes, his attractive brows and eyes looking at her, his gaze dark and calm, revealing not a hint of her thoughts. Su Ge returned the gaze, and before she could receive his response, her phone rang at an inopportune moment.

As Su Ge inserted the card into the slot, the room was instantly illuminated. It was only when she bent down to change her shoes that she realized, somewhat belatedly, that she was holding a paper bag in her hand. She was so out of sorts that she could not recall when the paper bag had returned to her possession.

Suge completely ignored that Luoyang, thinking to herself that she was not afraid of offending Meng Sian, let alone this person. Therefore, when they brought her the violin, she did not accept it

Su Ge chuckled softly, and Cheng Lan smiled as well: "You two have such a good relationship, uncle and nephew."

"You enjoy showing off, don't you? Since I can give you the first time, I will also give you the second time." Jiang Ran sat elegantly on the sofa, her expression gentle as she spoke, her tone soft, appearing as harmless as one could be.

When did I ever sulk with you? If you are unwilling to stay in Qu Sang, unwilling to inherit the family craft and learn pottery from me, I will not force you. You can run your business, and I will deal with my illness; you need not concern yourself with it

Meng Snian: "What kind of madness is this?"

Suge escorted the two to the hotel lobby. Perhaps due to fatigue, or perhaps because of the uncertainty surrounding the old gentleman Su's illness, Suge, who usually appeared lively and quirky, looked rather listless: "Uncle Meng, Teacher Xiao, you can rest assured, I will not be poached by others"

Old Master Su sat on the bed in a daze for a long time, then sighed: "It has come to an end, it has come to an end, it has ended with me."

Su Ge looked over and was surprised to see Jiang Ran, whom he had not seen for many days

Suge was caught off guard and got smoke in her eyes. She covered her eyes with her hand and complained, "It's smoky for me."

I told them to contact you, I said, I will listen to you

The usually clean-faced and cheerful Su Ge, with her two adorable dimples, is quite different, resembling a wayward girl

"Good." Su Ge sat down on the chair beside him, "Grandfather, are you feeling unwell anywhere today?"

uncle and nephew

Cold. Su Ge nodded solemnly

Suga paused slightly as she held the cup, then looked up at him. He was bowing his head to light a cigarette, the flame of the lighter casting flickering shadows on his cheek. She said, "More than ten years ago, my parents divorced, my mother left, and never returned. Three years ago, my father... passed away due to illness."

Not moved by it?

My goodness, Su Ge? The person next to her was clearly more surprised than Jiang Ran

"There is still something," he said, glancing at Su Ge, "I will take you to the hospital"

In these few seconds, Su Ge restrained the impulse to scream, cover her face, and slam the door. Taking a deep breath, she lifted her nightgown slightly and asked, seemingly calmly: "Uncle Meng, what brings you here?"

To love and not be loved in return, from love arises hatred

School has been in session for several days, yet the hospital has not developed an effective treatment method. Su Ge has taken leave to accompany Old Master Su at the hospital, but Old Master Su, fearing that he would delay Su Ge's classes, insists on returning to Qu Sang.

Su Tianhao had not yet reacted when Jiang Ran first turned cold: "Suge, what do you mean?"

"I am in charge of my own life," Su Ge said, turning to look at Uncle Meng, "What do you think, Uncle Meng?"

How charming it is? Hmm?

Meng Sian raised an eyebrow, and Su Ge laughed even louder

Meng Snian: "... ... lunatic"

The Emperor Emeritus lives a long life: "Why didn't you take the money?"

In fact, I live with my parents, and I come to this apartment when there are late notices or social engagements. Hualing said, "My mother cooks exceptionally well, but recently she and my father have gone abroad for travel, and I have lost weight."

Meng Sian handed the phone to Su Ge: "It's your brother."

Suge: "... ..."

Hualing: "... ..."

How could one not want to? The only remaining son, the two have been at odds for over ten years, each more stubborn than the other. Perhaps this opportunity could be used to reconcile. Gege's softened voice became gentler as she said: "Let me inform my uncle, telling him that we have come to Taijing."

No

Hua Ling walked out of the bar, glanced at the three people, and smiled, "Is it so lively?"

Suge adjusted his forehead once more and cleared his throat lightly, saying, "Well, come in first."

The Grand Emperor lives for a hundred years: "Alas, why is this hole so disobedient! I bestow upon you a red silk of one zhang!"

Meng Snian smiled, not joking as usual. After a moment of silence between the two, he picked up her water cup and said, "I will go get you some more water"

Su Ge let out a soft "oh," unfastened her seatbelt, and got out of the car. Her mood was somewhat complicated, and she dared not look at Meng Snian, silently cursing herself in her heart

As Su Ge stepped out of the bar, having been splashed with drinks, a gust of wind made her shiver. Meng Snian looked down at her and asked, "Are you cold?"

"Stop pretending, you two must have something going on. Isn't he the heartthrob of your school? Are you two secretly in love with each other?" Hualing had an expression that suggested she knew everything.

On that day, the two enjoyed their conversation so much that they drank several bottles. As they were drinking, Hualing hugged Gege and shouted to Meng Snian: "I like you, especially, especially, especially like you, but I dare not say it, dare not say it..."

Upon hearing this, Su Ge silently turned his face towards the car window, pressed his forehead against the glass, and took a deep breath with his eyes closed

Mr. Luo raised his eyebrows and looked over, seemingly indifferent to what she had said, only asking: "Can you play 'My Heart Will Go On'? I heard a cello performance of this piece a couple of days ago, and it was quite beautiful"

I want to die

Is there no other way? Su Ge was a bit anxious

Su Ge frowned at her: "What are you up to this time?"

Suge remained silent, staring at the flowers in his hand. After a while, she quickened her pace to catch up with him. While waiting for the elevator, she seemingly casually asked, "Uncle Meng, don't you have something to do today?"

The basement level of the hotel is a bar. When Meng Sinian arrived, Su Ge was nestled on a leather sofa near the door, smoking. In the dimly lit environment, the occasional beam of light swept across her face. She lowered her gaze, strands of hair sticking to her cheeks, and in front of her, the ashtray was already scattered with a pile of cigarette butts.

I have wanted to beat up my little brainless brother since I was young

The booth they reserved was quite large, and many people were seated around. While the two were conversing, someone approached and said: "Who is this young lady? Su Tianhao, you certainly have many confidantes."

The Supreme Emperor lives for a hundred years: "Cave spirit, cave spirit, I am the cave demon, if you hear the cave spirit, please respond..."

Suge did not have the time to observe whether he had indeed drunk from the lip print she had left earlier, as she was anxious about the present: "Otherwise... I will cry!"

At that moment, a notification sounded from her phone indicating that Meng Snian was on a call, and she was no longer anxious. Just as she stood up, she heard Jiang Ran say: "Suge, you are at the hotel at this hour, and you have taken so much cash..."

The next morning, Su Ge woke up with a hangover headache to the sound of the music from "Shan He Qu," which was her phone ringtone. In the quiet morning, no matter how pleasant it was, it was still quite annoying

Ah?

"Be polite, wear this nightgown first, and don't go back today. You can sleep in the guest room." Hualing assessed her slender arms and legs, holding the dress up against her, "It might be a bit big..."

For a long time

Hua Ling chuckled: "What are you doing?"

Jiang Ran noticed the atmosphere became awkward in an instant, and immediately took the violin, saying: "Suge, how can your emotional intelligence be so low! Is there anyone as ungrateful as you? Do you still want the phone number of Su Tianhao's father?"

Su Ge reached out, but her arms were not long enough. Coupled with feeling dizzy, she suddenly fell to the ground. Fortunately, there was a carpet to cushion her fall, so it did not hurt too much. However, she was dazed for a while.

One person was sitting while the other was standing, their postures intimate. It was unclear how much time had passed when a passing guest accidentally bumped into Meng Snian. He slightly regained his focus and looked down to see Su Ge still rubbing her tears on his clothes. He gently stroked her hair and said softly, "You really know how to make one feel heartache"

Is it really not possible to drink alcohol

Who is the Grand Emperor

After a thorough examination and consultation with experts, the conclusion remains that surgery is necessary. However, a type of stent required for the surgery cannot be produced domestically and has suddenly been banned from import. Several experts have spent a few days researching alternative methods but have not come up with a viable solution, so they arranged for the elderly gentleman, Mr. Su, to be hospitalized for observation first

"My goodness, why is there so much cash?" exclaimed a person.

To avoid embarrassment, Su Ge put on her headphones. During the part where ghost stories were being told, she skipped over most of it after hearing just a few sentences. This story was one that Su Tianhao had told her when she was a child, which had frightened her so much that she couldn't sleep well for several days. Then, she heard the voice message of herself crying out of fear.

Hua Ling walked and laughed, while Meng Si Nian glanced at them, then looked at the clock. He stood up and said to Su Ge: "Let's go, make sure to take the bag."

Meng Sian: "Have you been drinking?"

As soon as the words were spoken, a drunken man reached out to grab Su Ge, carelessly knocking over the drinks from the tray of a passing waiter, splattering them all over Su Ge. Infuriated, she turned around and kicked and hit him, exclaiming, "Su Tianhao, you are so annoying, utterly annoying!"

"What are you doing here at this hour?" Meng Snian glared at her.

When Hualing went to find her, she discovered her squatting at the bathroom door... drawing circles...

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Hualing asked anxiously

You just let me speak for myself, don't bother me. Su Ge said, and clicked on the first voice message.

That year when her father passed away, Uncle's family went back to visit. Mr. Su never gave them a good face. That was the last time Su Ge saw them. Uncle called a few times during holidays, but Mr. Su hung up every time. Gradually, their communication became less frequent.

Su Ge didn't want to bother with him. Then he kicked Su Tianhao again and angrily said to him amidst the moderate music in the bar, "Grandfather is sick and is at Taijing Medical University. Anyway, I've told you, whether you come or not is up to you!"

Meng Siniang walked over and stopped, saying, "You don't have to be polite, I just came to take a look."

Meng Sining was a little panicked, reaching out to wipe away her increasingly flowing tears and asking, "Does it sting?"

You are more fierce than anyone else when it comes to smoking, why do you care about me? Su Ge said, taking out another cigarette from the box. Meng Sannian stretched out his long arm and in an instant, the cigarette was back in his hand, along with her nearly empty cigarette box.

Meng Siniang looked at her with a smile that seemed like a smile, his thin lips slightly parted, and said, "The moment you opened the door, I almost blurted out..."

This is the second time she has held his hand, the first time was in Qusang, to "protect" him, this time, it is seeking protection.

After Su Ge completed the formalities and returned, Old Master Su had already changed into a patient gown, sitting up against the head of the bed while reading a newspaper. Upon seeing her enter, he put down the newspaper, removed his reading glasses, and took Su Ge's hand, saying: "Ge Ge, this is all thanks to Mr. Meng, isn't it?"

Suge glanced at the rim of the cup he had just sipped from, subtly turned it towards himself, took a sip, and found it somewhat spicy, with a taste quite different from the wine brewed by his grandfather

Ah?

The Emperor Emeritus lives a long life: "Have you arrived home?"

Suge nodded and said, "Yes."

Meng Siniang escorted her to the door of the room. Su Ge swiped the card and entered. Then, without mentioning how casual it was, she asked, "Do you want to come in?"

Dr. Qiu finished speaking and didn't forget to praise him indirectly, saying: "Isn't having a boss like this especially fortunate?"

Hua Ling glanced in the direction of the living room and then lowered her voice, saying, "For the sake of your uncle, I have developed feelings for him, so I transferred from Xinglin to Qiantang."

Not at all, you should go to bed early. Saying that, Meng Sinian put the paper bag in her arms and walked away.

Meng Sining: "Go wash up and go to bed."

Meng Siniang looked at her with a complex expression and replied through gritted teeth, "What do you think? Take out your phone and check for yourself. You sent me hundreds of voice messages last night."

A gust of wind blew, and Su Ge shivered again. Cheng Lan, who had been silent, took off her coat and draped it over her. Su Ge said, "Thank you," but Cheng Lan still didn't speak.

"I am willing to die in your hands." Su Ge tilted her head and softly said this.

Suge seemed to have sighed faintly.

As her voice was about to fall, Hua Ling screamed, "No way!"

Su Tianhao chuckled and said, "Isn't this a pointless question?"

Su Ge smiled and tilted her head to look at him: "Thank you for helping me beat up Su Tianhao just now."

The Grand Emperor lives a hundred years: "Meng Si Nian, I not only miss my grandfather, but I also miss you... Come!"

"It's nothing, it was a long time ago." Su Ge shrugged, appearing indifferent.

Su Ge's gaze shifted from his long fingers to his face, and he gave a barely perceptible nod.

Have you fallen out of favor

When she arrived, Su Tianhao had already had quite a bit to drink. He squinted his eyes and looked at Su Ge for a long time: "Hey Su Ge, you've grown up so much. The last time I saw you, you were just a little kid."

How could it be

Meng Sian smiled, he slightly bent forward, gazing into her eyes, and softly said: "Therefore, we merely see you as a charming little girl, and anyone who encounters this matter would not stand idly by.

"I am not asking you for it," Su Ge said, getting angry as well. He lifted his foot and kicked the sleeping Su Tianhao, saying, "Get up!"

Hua Ling did not expect him to suddenly speak to her. After a brief pause, she replied, "Your charm with women isn't exactly impressive either"

Su Ge could not be bothered to engage with him and straightforwardly said: "Give me my uncle's phone number"

"Damn it, my sister." Su Tianhao murmured indistinctly, leaning back in his seat with his eyes closed

Until the elevator reached the floor of the ward, Su Ge did not move

Jiang Ran's look of surprise flashed by, and then she seemed to recall something, letting out a meaningful "Oh": "Is it that relative from the countryside you mentioned?"

Hua Ling followed his gaze and said, "Suge is just a simple girl. You should let it go and stop overthinking."

I also have my pride, just like your eyeliner and red lips, give me one too

Hua Ling had just gotten up when Su Ge suddenly changed his mind, stood up, and blocked her: "Wait a moment, could you help me tidy up a bit."

"Get ready and come out, why are you so bold, making my boss wait for you for half a day?" Hualing looked down at the person squatting on the ground.

accidentally

Long live the Emperor Emeritus for a hundred years: "I obey your command."

Due to Qiu Lin's interruption, the topic came to an abrupt end.

Just over ten minutes later, Su Ge changed into a set of Hualing's casual clothes. Her messy hair was tied up into a bun on top of her head, and after putting on light makeup, she looked refreshed. After dressing her up, Hualing looked at her with satisfaction for a while, then pointed at her head and said, "Look how beautiful you are. When Cheng Lan sees you, he won't know what hit him."

Meng Sining glanced at Cheng Lan and said, "He thought it was a little hooligan bullying Su Ge, but it turned out to be a misunderstanding. Director Luo, please don't mind."

You don't need to bother, go ahead and do your own thing.

Meng Snian glanced at her phone screen: "I was thinking that I postponed such an important matter just to rush to the hospital early in the morning to see your family reunion and... watch you play games?"

Understood, oh dear, our little lady has grown into quite the chatterbox. The old master, Master Su, chuckled as he patted her hand

The Emperor Emeritus lives a long life: "... ... I shall retire for the night."

I used to ask the band if they had a violin, listening to their chaotic drums and broken guitars. One of the individuals stood up and ran a few steps away.

Is that so

Su Ge looked at him expectantly, and his heart softened: "Actually, I'm not that angry. After all, I had a crush on you before."

Dad, what time is it? You're still sulking with me...

Gege "humphed" and peeled an orange for him. After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly asked, "Grandpa, do you miss your elder brother?"

Why has the import stopped? Could you please escalate this issue?

Long live the Emperor Mother for a hundred years: "Why is it an assistant?"

What are you thinking?" Taking advantage of the pause, Su Ge turned his head to glance at him

Just right, saved the money for condoms. Su Ge and Sui Sui are used to poverty. The words came out casually, and after speaking, she awkwardly cleared her throat.

Su Ge tilted her head back and squinted at him, while Meng Snian held her chin with one hand and gently wiped away the tear stains from the corner of her eye with the other, softly blowing on the eye that had been irritated: "It's alright, it will be better soon"

It is quite frustrating

Meng Sian suddenly smiled, he set down his wine glass and pushed it towards Su Ge: "Such eloquence deserves a reward, you may have a taste."

Meng Sian lowered her gaze to the phone in her hand, which was a mess and difficult to understand. She glanced at her sideways and said, "If you don't take it away soon, you will die."

Seeing Su Ge nod, the old man Su continued, "I will find time to get some money and return it to them. It's not good to let them bear such expenses."

Meng Sannian glanced at the three people over there and said to Qiu Lin, "You can go busy yourself. We can handle this on our own."

Suge glanced at Meng Sannian.

Well, let's have Su Ge treat you to a meal another day

"Do you want money?" Su Tianhao said, "You obediently call me 'brother' twice, and I'll give you the money."

The elevator doors opened, and Meng Snian was the first to step inside, followed by Su Ge, with more and more people squeezing in behind them. They stood together in the corner. Su Ge lowered his gaze and glanced at the fingers hanging by the side of his pants, long and fair, with distinct joints... a pair of beautiful hands, as if they were born for the piano...

"Who came to your house early in the morning?" Su Ge propped herself up on the coffee table and stood up, her legs still a bit numb, and she hopped over to the door.

No, the doctor said we can only go home after you have the surgery.

This remark struck a nerve with Jiang Ran, and her expression turned angry. At that moment, Mr. Luo also glanced over, holding a goblet in his hand. Without paying much attention to the two of them, he swirled the wine in his glass and said, "I just joked with Jiang Ran about wanting to hear her play the violin, and I didn't expect her to take it seriously and actually bring a performance."

She sat on the sofa by the window, fiddling with the flowers in the vase, while the uncle over there was kindly advising, choosing his words carefully. Su Tianhao chimed in from the side, and soon the old man's expression softened a bit. Su Ge, feeling bored, casually took out his phone and started a game.

That day, several people left the hospital after 7 PM, as there were too many examinations that the old Mr. Su needed to undergo. By the time they left the hospital, it was already past 7 PM. The next morning, Su Ge would accompany the old Mr. Su to the hospital, so Meng Snian arranged for a hotel room near the hospital. He and Xiao Shu then helped Su Ge and Mr. Su settle into the hotel.

Hualing held her with one arm while using the other to hail a taxi: "We won't play with those men; they don't have beautiful clothes."

Su Ge let out an "oh" and continued to speak seemingly casually, "It seems that Dr. Qiu doesn't have a shift today"

Go tidy up yourself.

Suge frowned at him, clearly unconvinced

Talk about business. As they were speaking, the rest of the unfamiliar people from Scotland greeted them and left one after another.

In the quiet of the night, the man's voice was deep, hoarse, and carried a hint of tenderness as he uttered the sound "mm," causing a slight tremor in Su Ge's heart

Meng Sian also glanced at Su Ge and said, "Yes, give her a glass of plain water"

Suge stood behind him listening to the content of his phone call, feeling the knot in his heart that had been there all day suddenly become swollen and hot...

As she spoke, she casually opened the last voice message in WeChat to listen—Meng Sian: "Mm."

"Is 'Mountain and River Melody' written by you?" Luo Yang asked

Su Ge turned abruptly upon hearing Meng Sannian's voice, and when he saw him, a flash of joy appeared on his face. He ran over a few steps, one hand tightly grasping his hand, and the other hand grabbing his arm, inadvertently hiding beside him.

What kind of bracket cannot be found anywhere in the country

Su Ge: "Drive carefully, I'll listen on my own."

Hua Ling said: "Cleaning lady?"

It seems he is lying on the bed, his voice carrying a hint of languid sensuality

Luo Yang waved his hand and said, "Since it is a misunderstanding, how can I mind it?" After speaking, he glanced at Su Ge, who was hiding beside Meng Si Nian, and his gaze fell on the hands of the two intertwined. He smiled and said, "It seems that I indeed do not have as much charm with women as Young Master Meng does, wouldn't you agree, Hua Ling?"

Smoking too much can lead to infertility. He decided to persuade others with reason.

The discomfort in her eyes gradually faded, and as she slowly opened them, she saw Meng Snian looking down at her with a relaxed expression, a gentle look accompanied by a hint of a smile. Su Ge felt a pang in her nose, and in an instant, large drops of tears welled up from the corners of her eyes, disappearing into her dark hair.

What can I do?

Hua Ling rubbed his temples and said, "It seems so."

Sugge let go of him, reached out and pulled out a few pieces of paper from the tissue box on the table to wipe his face. Without looking up, he half-sulkily and half-threateningly said, "Forget about me crying just now when you leave this door, otherwise..."

Tsk, are you two flirting in front of me? Let me remind you, office romances are prohibited for colleagues in the same company.

Su Ge handed him the phone and said, "Then I'll watch you make the call."

Su Ge frowned and pushed him away, saying, "Ouch."

Su Ge chuckled, isn't this just a sulk?

Over there, Jiang Ran was the first to come out. Upon seeing Cheng Lan, he didn't have time to pay attention to Su Tianhao on the ground, his eyes, like autumn waters, fixed on Cheng Lan: "Cheng Lan, what are you doing here?"

Meng Sian leaned back against the chair, took out the cigarette case that had just been confiscated from her pocket, placed a cigarette between his lips without looking at her, and suddenly asked indistinctly, "Gege, where are your parents?"

Everything is fine, I just want to go home

He looked at Su Ge and reached out to wrap his arm around her shoulders, saying, "It's cold, your clothes are all wet. My home is nearby, come back with me to change your clothes."

Suge glanced at Mr. Luo with a half-smile and said, "Su Tianhao is my brother. I am looking for him regarding a matter, not to perform."

Seeing that she did not wish to say more, Meng Sian did not press further. Reflecting on her earlier statement, he raised an eyebrow slightly: "All-powerful? It seems you truly admire me."

Suge: "... ..."

The nightgown slipped from my hands and fell down again

Meng Sian's index finger tapped rhythmically on the cup's base as he lifted his eyelids and looked at Su Ge: "How do you want me to respond?"

To say that a female celebrity is not an ordinary person is evident from her grooming, dressing, and makeup speed, which is beyond what an average person can compare to. In just twenty minutes, Hualing changed into her outfit, applied a suitable makeup, and even styled her hair meticulously. She transformed back into her usual exquisite and elegant popular singer self, while Su Ge had not emerged from her room for quite some time

Meng Snian sat down opposite her, glanced at the wine bottles on the floor and the overturned wine glasses on the table, then lifted his eyelids to look at Su Ge: "Can you still dance?"

Suge turned around and glanced at Meng Sining.

Ah?

Su Ge had difficulty communicating with him and asked Jiang Ran, "Who is this person?"

Go and take a hot bath," Meng Siniang said.

The caregiver took the flowers and placed them on the cabinet. Mr. Su and Mr. Meng exchanged a few words of greeting. Mr. Meng asked, "What were you talking about just now? Don't let us interrupt."

Slightly helpless, Su Ge followed her example and said with certainty, "Hua Ling, you and Luo Yang must have something going on."

The Emperor Emeritus lives for a hundred years: "Are you a masochist?"

Suge stuffed the money into the paper bag, unable to resist rolling his eyes at him

Meng Sian: "Don't sleep anymore, come, let's go downstairs"

I have troubled you recently, Qiu Lin

Go to hell, cleaning lady!

Hualing leaned against the sofa and weakly said: "When I woke up, I saw your sleeping posture... it's hard to describe, it would be strange if it didn't hurt."

Sugel embraced her, gently stroking her hair, one stroke at a time, as if comforting her, while saying: "Grandpa, you should obediently listen to the doctor's advice... Grandpa, it's time for you to get a haircut... Your hair is so long..."

Thank you, Sister Hua Ling.

Meng Sining looked up at her and saw no expression on her face. Her eyes were still pitch black. She held a glass of water and drank from it. Her cute dimples appeared again due to the movement of her cheeks. Meng Sining slowly took a puff of smoke and said, "I'm sorry."

Meng Snian took a bouquet of flowers out of the trunk and, as he was about to leave, noticed her expression was heavy with thoughts: "What are you thinking about?"

What are you here for

"Only a few years old, and not learning well," he stuffed the cigarette box into the pocket of his baseball jacket, "confiscated."

Suge finally added the eye roll he had not given earlier, thinking to himself that this little brainless one was still brainless after all these years. She did not answer his question, instead raising her eyebrows and surveying the two of them: "What are you two doing at the hotel?"

Meng Sian extinguished the cigarette and lowered her hand: "Let me take a look."

Soo Ge sighed and said, "You go accompany your boss, let me die a little longer"

There is one last voice message, sent by Meng Snian. Looking at the time, it is approximately two minutes apart from her previous voice message. She has not opened it yet when someone beside her suddenly speaks: "We have arrived, let's get off."

Su Ge buried his face between his legs: "I have lived for nineteen years and have never been this ugly!"

Meng Sian remained bent over without moving. Su Ge's words made his heart clench painfully, as if a hand had gripped it tightly, causing considerable discomfort. After a while, he straightened up, reached out to pull Su Ge into his embrace, patted her shoulder, wanting to say something but ultimately saying nothing.

Meng Sian raised an eyebrow, not very willing, but still answered: "Hello, I am Meng Sian"

On narcissism, I have lost.

"Then, senior, you are truly generous, even giving me that seat in the symphony orchestra." Su Ge replied expressionlessly

Su Tianhao shook himself and, leaning against the back of the sofa, just managed to stand up. Seeing that Su Ge was about to leave, Luo Yang hurriedly said: "Su Tianhao, hold your sister back and don't let her leave just yet"

Meng Snian: "Are you charging for helping out?"

"Do not be chaotic." Meng Sian did not even look and directly responded, as he started the car and backed out of the parking space

Suge stole a glance at him and cleared his throat: "Well, come in first."

"What are you sending? This is for Mr. Su." Meng Sinian glanced at her with a smile that was not quite a smile.

The two sat facing each other in silence for a while, yet their muddled minds remained somewhat unclear

Meng Snian: "You should go to sleep now, and tomorrow morning I will have my assistant pick you up"

Su Ge subtly raised the corner of his mouth, lowering his head to continue pretending to be nonchalant while fiddling with his phone: "It's all the same, after all, it's all for our family."

Snow White or Cinderella

After Su Ge finished asking that question, he suddenly realized that it could be misunderstood as suggestive. Fortunately, Meng Si Nian was very serious, looking as natural as could be, with an expression that conveyed a clear conscience.

Xiao Shu laughed heartily and said, "Indeed quite endearing. If I had such a daughter, I would cherish her in the palm of my hand every day"

Suge changed into her nightgown and looked around: "Sister Hualing, do you live here by yourself?"

Cheng Lan looked at her strangely and said, "Isn't he your brother?"

Suge always felt that he actually wanted to meet his uncle; when a person falls ill, they are usually very vulnerable

Hua Ling was taken aback and tapped her forehead again: "You have so many thoughts, ex-boyfriend, it's been over for a long time."

Before Meng Snian got up, Su Ge turned back into the elevator and pressed the button for her floor, returning the way she came. In fact, she refrained from approaching him to speak, fearing that her emotions would be too overt.

"No, you will get hit," Meng Snian flicked his index finger against his forehead and said, "Stop thinking too much. There will always be a solution. First, let me take you back."

She glanced at the phone number, an unfamiliar one from Beijing, and thought it might belong to a music company or an artist's agent. So she hung up casually, not expecting the call to come in again immediately. Su Ge frowned and handed the phone to Meng Si Nian, saying, "It's about scheduling a song, you answer it."

Old Master Su scolded while eating an orange: "Why think of him? What is there to think about this unfilial son!"

In the advanced ward, there are two diligent caregivers, as well as doctors and nurses who frequently come to inquire and show concern.

Returning to the room, Su Ge sat cross-legged on the bed and sent a message to Meng Si Nian

When Meng Snian returned, he found that Su Ge had once again taken the cigarette case from his coat. A third of the cigarette in his mouth was already gone. He placed one hand on the cup and with the other hand pulled the cigarette away: "So you think it's time to clean up, huh?"

Suge leisurely gave her a thumbs up, to which Hualing replied: "Likewise."

"Who would agree to let someone else's son take your surname? This is just nonsense; aren't you provoking family conflicts?" said Old Master Su

Meng Snian: "... ..."

She set down the cup and pushed it back to him: "I am not used to drinking this."

Cheng Lan tugged at the corner of her mouth and chuckled lightly: "So are we reconciled?"

"Even if it swells, it is still bigger than Xiao Shu's eyes." Meng Snian seriously observed the road conditions, yet he did not look at her.

Every time Su Ge sees Meng Sian's car, he secretly resolves to earn money to buy a new car.

Old Master Su had already finished his breakfast. When they entered, he was chatting with the caregiver. Upon seeing the two of them, he stood up to greet Meng Snian

In the following days, Su Ge thought she would be running around like a little spinning top, but unexpectedly, when she arrived at the hospital early the next day, Dr. Qiu informed her that Meng Snian had arranged for two caregivers for her.

Su Ge also felt that he should not say such things to Cheng Lan, as it was evident that he still harbored inappropriate thoughts about her. She cleared her throat lightly and said, "I am just teasing you; the one I actually have a crush on is Uncle Meng."

Meng Snian replied with a voice message: "The cave has received it, please speak, cave demon."

I do not

Su Ge lowered his gaze, unsure of what he had perceived. After a moment of contemplation, he responded to the previous question: "This time, even Meng Snian, whom I believe to be capable of anything, cannot be of assistance."

Su was taken aback for a moment, but there was no time to reminisce with him, so he directly said: "Su Tianhao, help me pick up the money, quickly."

Meng Snian let out a "tch," clearly dissatisfied with her response, and half in feigned anger, half in threat, said: "Are you going to keep talking nonsense?"

Cannot

Suge picked up the cup to drink water: "I have never seen the world."

The Emperor Emeritus, may he live a hundred years, immediately fell silent and clearly stated word by word: "Meng Sinian, I miss you, please come and take me to the hospital"

The music director of Xinglin Company, Luo Yang. Jiang Ran lowered her voice, advising, "It is best that you do not offend these people; if they ask you to perform, just do it."

The Emperor Emeritus lives a hundred years: "Let me give you another song."

What did the doctor say?" He frowned

Uncle did not receive the same treatment as Su Tianhao. He poured a glass of water for Old Master Su, who merely snorted and did not even look at him. Uncle was not angry; he placed the cup on the table and sat by the bed to tuck the blanket for him: "Dad, I just spoke with the doctor about your surgery. I will contact the hospital as soon as possible"

"Uncle Meng, is my hair messy?" she asked seemingly casually

It was very noisy on Jiang Ran's side, amidst the various voices and music, Su Ge heard her say: "Su Tianhao is with me, if you have something to say, just say it directly." After the call ended, an address was received in WeChat, which was a very famous bar in Taijing. Su Ge walked to the roadside and hailed a taxi.

The atmosphere in the room suddenly turned cold.

As the night grew deeper, more people gradually filled the bar, and the space became stuffy. Meng Snian took off his jacket and tossed it aside, leaving only a T-shirt. Su Ge glanced over a few times and teased, "Today, you look like Brother Meng."

Su Tianhao was startled and half-awake, squinting with a displeased expression and asking, "What is it?"

After a while, she pointed at the scattered wine bottles on the ground not far away and glanced back at Hualing, who was sitting at the foot of the sofa: "Did we drink all of these?"

How do you say it

The two of them walked out, with Su Ge following behind her, and asked, "Why?"

The word "mother" has become quite unfamiliar to Su Ge, yet she still remembers that her mother was also very good at cooking. However, when she tried to say the words "my mother is too," she found that she could not bring herself to say them.

Seeing a few people about to leave, Luo Yang called out to Hua Ling, who fell back two steps: "What further instructions do you have, Director Luo?"

After Su Ge finished his shower, he saw several sets of clothes placed on the sofa in the living room, and Hua Ling was still taking more out: "I don't know what style you like, come and choose quickly, all of these are unworn by me."

The unanswered phone call abruptly ceased its ringing

Su Tianhao hurried to grab Su Ge's arm to prevent her from becoming more aggressive in her strikes

"There is candy to eat!" Socrates immediately replied

Cheng Lan remained silent

Then, the woman who was sitting on the sofa like a Buddha rushed into the bedroom like the wind, slamming the door shut with a loud "bang".

Su Tianhao was helped up by someone. Luo Yang's gaze shifted from Cheng Lan to Hua Ling, who was standing among them. He stepped forward and gave a familiar smile to Meng Sian, asking: "Why did Young Master Meng's people start fighting as soon as they arrived?"

The Emperor Emeritus lives a long life of one hundred years: "Not yet written."

I want to hold hands

Well, just now the little girl was crying a bit sadly, and it was heart-wrenching to watch

Su Ge could no longer remember when Old Master Su had smiled so happily. Although she did not have a good impression of Su Tianhao, Old Master Su still quite liked his eldest grandson, after all, he was his own grandson. It had been several years since they last met, and in terms of appearance, Su Tianhao had inherited the good genes of the Su family, looking quite "talented and handsome." The more Old Master Su looked at him from different angles, the more he liked him.

The Emperor Emeritus lives for a hundred years: "How terrifying... Wuwu... Meng Sinian, I am afraid..."

There is a hospital in California that is quite skilled at performing this surgery, but your grandfather's health is not very suitable for long-distance flights

Yes, what kind do you like? Qiu Lin, who walked over, suddenly spoke. She seemed unaware of the subtle atmosphere and looked at Meng Sannian with an exploratory smile, joining the inexplicable confrontation between the two.

Meng Snian looked at her with an impassive expression, whether she believed it or not, his emotions were not revealed in the slightest. He reached out and lightly flicked her forehead again, saying: "Is this what you call a secret crush? You might as well shout it out loud with a megaphone."

Suge sat up from the sofa, wearing an expression of "Who am I, where am I?" Hualing was a bit better off; she squinted and pointed at Suge's phone still under the sofa: "Your phone"

When the doorbell rang, both individuals paused their hands that were massaging their temples.

Suge lowered his head and said again: "I only have my grandfather left, I am afraid"

Su Ge hugged his waist, wiped his tears on his clothes, buried his head, and silently sobbed.

Saying this, Hualing rubbed her hands up and down on her shoulder and said, "Little Gege, you are too thin. I will make you something delicious soon."

Su Ge let out a soft "oh," pouting in dissatisfaction as he was completely unaware of his own changes. She took her bag and bid farewell to Hua Ling.

Su Ge took a deep breath, reminding herself to stay calm. At this moment, it was Xiao Shu who should be angry. She chose to ignore him and turned her gaze towards the window. After a while, she suddenly remembered something and turned to ask him: "Uncle Meng, what brings you here?"

Suge poured water for the old master Su, and during a pause for drinking, a caregiver asked: "You only have this one granddaughter, right? Then to whom will you pass on your skills that are inherited by males and not females?"

After Su Ge finished speaking, he turned and walked out. Just as he was leaving the booth area, Su Tianhao, who had just come to his senses, stood up to chase after him. Still under the influence of alcohol, he stumbled a few steps before finally catching up with Su Ge

"Do you really take the words meant to coax children seriously?" Meng Sinian frowned and asked, "Are you looking for trouble?"

"Little girl? Alright, if one day you can no longer stay in Qiantang, you can return to Xinglin. The doors of Xinglin are always open for you."

Su Ge did not know what to say, blinking his big eyes and opening his mouth to say: "I think you're handsome and I want to pursue you"

The person next to them laughed: "Ha, they really are siblings, both with the same temperament"

It feels like feeding a puppy

It seems that he was made dizzy by her crying. In the next voice message, Meng Snian softened his tone slightly and said, "It's all a lie, don't cry anymore"

The little girl is quite endearing

Send it over

Suge also lazily refrained from protesting, reaching over to take a paper bag from a chair beside him and placing it in front of him: "Sister Qiu said that the caregiver's fee and the money for the private room have already been paid in advance by you. I don't know how much it is, can you take a look and see if it's enough?"

Suge leaned against the wall with one hand while using the other to open the door. At the moment the door swung open, only one thought occupied Suge's mind

Hualing's residence is indeed not far, located on the twenty-fifth floor of a high-end community

Meng Snian let out a soft "ha," looking at her with a smile that was neither fully a smile nor a frown. After a long pause, he leisurely asked, "Did you just get your driver's license? You must be joking, seasoned driver."

Suge felt her temples throbbing, she pressed her lips together, not looking at the two people, and was just about to crouch down to pick up the money when she suddenly heard a familiar voice: "Suge?"

Suge smiled slightly; he had said this to her more than once. Suge smiled again, and her eyes flickered: "You have already helped me so much, is it really necessary to repay you just for taking you to Shaxi?"

The Emperor Emeritus lives a long life of one hundred years: "If you wish to say that the cave has received it, please speak of the cave demon."

Meng Sian saw a few people coming out of the booth and hurriedly said: "You two, come here."

The little girl, having cried out of sadness, had slightly swollen eyes, her pupils glistening with tears, and the tip of her nose was reddened, making her look truly pitiful. Meng Snian finished the last sip of wine in his glass and said, "Do you know what happens to a child who cries?"

Meng Sian noticed her evasive little movements and speculated that she might have been frightened, tightening his grip on her delicate little hand

Su Ge shook his head, lowered his head and sniffed his nose, tears falling on Meng Sannian's hand with her movement. She muttered a sentence, but Meng Sannian didn't hear it clearly. He slightly bent over and approached her, saying, "Hmm?"

The elevator doors closed at the appropriate time

This means to observe first

The Grand Emperor lives a hundred years: "Oh, my grandfather."

Sitting beside him, Jiang Ran immediately smiled and said: "This is my junior, didn't Mr. Luo just say he wanted to hear the violin? She also studies the violin, let her perform a piece for Mr. Luo."

Suge recalled what Cai Zi and the others said about her being a mascot and sighed, "He is my mascot indeed"

On the side, Meng Sui raised his hand to look at his watch, and Suge noticed his movement: "Uncle Meng, wasn't your matter postponed?"

Su Ge glanced at Jiang Ran, chuckled, and then said to Su Tianhao, "Give me Uncle's phone number, I have something to discuss with him."

Is it so... unbearable to look at? Su Ge ran his fingers through his hair.

Su Tianhao always likes to bully Suge. Suge has never liked to call him brother since he was young. She glared at him, pressed the elevator that had been staying on this floor, and even said when leaving, "Su Tianhao, you are not only stupid but also blind."

Why don't you ask me when I heard it? Meng Siniang's tone was quite reproachful.

Suge looked at the person who called "mom" twice. In an instant of eye contact, both of them widened their eyes and looked surprisingly similar.

Seeing that the situation was not right, Cheng Lan rushed over a few steps and, without saying a word, grabbed Su Tianhao and punched him in the face. Su Tianhao was instantly stunned and fell to the ground. Su Ge hurriedly stopped Cheng Lan, who was about to strike again, saying, "Cheng Lan, he is my brother"

At his shout, a group of people passing not far away turned their heads to glance this way. At this glance, Meng Snian, standing among several individuals, suddenly asked: "Is that Su Ge?"

Meng Snian: "Your obedience is somewhat unexpected for me"

strangely endearing

Suge turned around in confusion to look at him, also with a face full of displeasure: "What is it?"

Who are you

So straightforward, Sugden hesitated for a moment, then sighed in a typical manner and said, "I would rather demolish a temple than ruin a marriage. Meng Siniang is really bringing calamity upon herself."

Suge might feel a bit embarrassed after having cried in front of him earlier, as she silently walked back to the hotel room. She appeared to be deep in thought, but in reality, she was deliberately creating distance, fearing that if she got too close, he would mock her.

What?

After a day of turmoil, the old master, Mr. Su, was extremely tired and almost fell asleep as soon as he arrived at the hotel.

On this evening, on the way from the hospital to the hotel, Su Ge called Jiang Ran and said, "Senior, if it's convenient, could you give me Su Tianhao's phone number?"

Suge had not yet spoken when Luo Yang, not knowing when, walked up behind her and directly asked: "What did Jiang Ran just call you? Suge?"

Because of the warmth of his fingertips, because of his intimate gestures, Suge's body stiffened.

Hualing smiled as she crouched down, cupping her face and gently rubbing it: "So adorable, incredibly cute!"

Meng Sannian smiled and said, "After listening, do you have a whole new understanding of yourself? Throwing a tantrum and crying, being domineering..."

She walked a few steps over and heard him talking on the phone, his tone was indescribably serious.

Then, she bent down and retied her shoelaces before opening the door and going out.

Su Ge continued, "Then you might have to give me this flower."

Sugeben did not expect to catch up with Mengsinian, but as soon as she exited the elevator, she saw him sitting with his back to her on the leather sofa in the hotel lobby's resting area.

Meng Sining heard a "thud" and looked at her. Seeing her hopeless look, he laughed and said, "It's too early to despair. Let me hear the part of the bedtime story you tell me."

Su Ge said, "If I drink any more alcohol, I'll become a pig!"

"What’s wrong? Smoking to ease your worries?" Meng Sinian decided to let her be, changing the subject. As he spoke, he gestured for the waiter to come over, saying, "Dry Martini."

Endearing ... ....

Suge thanked him and, after packing the money, called Meng Snian.

Su Tianhao instinctively bent down to pick up something, and Jiang Ran next to him reached out and pulled him, asking: "How do you two know each other?"
