Chapter 143 Old Lady Meng Takes Action
Chapter 143 Old Lady Meng Takes Action
After the dinner, Chu Ciyou returned home with rosy cheeks and visibly happy.
Huo Tingchen couldn't help but touch her face: "Are you happy?"
"Happy!" Chu Ciyou nodded vigorously.
With "kindness", she can heal her body, give birth to a child and become a mother!
Although it is not easy to get "Compassion" from the Gui family, she can wait slowly.
As long as there is hope, it is the greatest blessing.
"Don't worry, I can get the medicine. Give me some time." Huo Tingchen leaned over and kissed her on the cheek.
Chu Ciyou blinked shyly: "I'm not in a hurry, don't mess around."
"Ah."
Huo Tingchen nodded, and kept kissing her face with his lips.
The biggest reward today is to find a way to treat her.
Although he had little interest in having children, he always felt guilty about her poor health.
"It's a pity that your legs still have to rely on you." Chu Ciyou looked at Huo Tingchen's legs and sighed, "Husband, you have to work hard!"
"What? Now that you have a brother, you start to dislike me?" Huo Tingchen laughed.
"no no."
Chu Ciyou quickly shook his head, carefully maintaining his "fragile" self-esteem, "I just simply want you to get better."
"Don't worry, I will be fine." Huo Tingchen narrowed his eyes.
If a healthy person pretends to be disabled, will he be beaten by his wife in the future?
"Come on, hubby!"
Chu Ciyou raised his fist as if fighting.
Huo Tingchen felt mixed emotions and almost stood up in front of her.
His phone buzzed and he glanced at the message before quickly deleting it.
It’s better to just leave it alone for now!

Meng Hui returned to the hotel with the gift from his sister, feeling very happy.
Assistant Liu Feng smiled and said, "The master hasn't been this happy for a long time."
"My mother is gone, and I have to take good care of my sister. Liu Feng, I have my own relatives now, do you understand?" Meng Hui let out a long sigh, fell on the sofa and closed his eyes for a nap.
Being with my sister, I feel like I’m back to my childhood with my mother.
Happy, warm, and without any burden.
Say whatever you want to say. Do whatever you want to do.
He is just a brother, not the head of the Meng family who is bound by rules and regulations.
"I understand." Liu Feng sighed.
But it will be difficult for the young lady to return to the capital! The Meng family and the An family pride themselves on being noble, so how could they allow An Zhiyi, who had been dead for 20 years, to give birth to a child outside?
Wouldn't that be a cuckold to the Meng family? Wouldn't that be a stain on the An family?
"Meng Hui."
An old and majestic voice suddenly came, and Meng Hui and Liu Feng were both startled and turned to look at the door.
Old Mrs. Meng and Meng Ya were standing at the door.
Meng Ya's face was no longer swollen, and she raised her eyebrows proudly: "Brother, grandma and I are here to celebrate your birthday."
"Grandma?" Meng Hui secretly cursed in his heart and quickly stood up, "Grandma, why are you here?"
"My eldest grandson is a stranger in a foreign land, and it happens to be his birthday, so I came to celebrate." Old Mrs. Meng had a stern face and spoke in a majestic and weird tone.
"Brother, I've ordered a big cake for you!" Meng Ya snapped her fingers, and the waiter came in pushing a food cart.
Flowers, cakes, and gifts were all there, and the place was sparkling with mood lighting.
"Grandma, aren't you embarrassing your grandson?" Meng Hui's head was buzzing and he couldn't be happy at all.
"How could that be? You are my only grandson and the head of the Meng family. Grandma only wishes the best for you." Old Mrs. Meng walked into the room and sat down, motioning Meng Ya to start the performance.
Meng Ya clapped her hands happily, sang the birthday song, and put a birthday hat on Meng Hui.
Just like every birthday in the Meng family, she would send blessings to her brother.
"Happy birthday, bro! Blow out the candles and make a wish!"
"it is good."
Meng Hui closed his eyes and made a silent and solemn wish: I wish my sister Chu Ciyou a speedy recovery and a happy life!
"Brother, what wish did you make?" Meng Ya asked curiously and eagerly.
Meng Hui said: "I can't tell you about the wish I just made."
"Okay! Then cut the cake."
"Ok.
Meng Hui didn't know how much his grandmother knew, so as long as Meng Ya didn't mention Xiaoyou, he wouldn't mention it either. He went through the birthday process to the end.
The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren tasted the cake respectively and divided it among their subordinates.
Meng Hui had no appetite and was guessing the purpose of their visit.
"Meng Hui, Jingcheng is not a fun place and it makes me uncomfortable. Let's go home tomorrow!" Old Lady Meng finally said.
Meng Hui said: "Grandma, let Xiaoya accompany you back first. I will wait a few days before returning."
"What's there to delay? The Meng family has no business in Jingcheng." said Old Madam Meng.
"I have something else to do. A private matter." Meng Hui chose his words carefully.
Madam Meng asked, "What private matter?"
Meng Hui looked at Meng Ya, who looked innocent.
But since grandma is determined to force him to return to the capital, how can Meng Ya be really innocent?
Meng Hui simply said, "I'm going to worship my mother tomorrow."
"Zhiyi's tomb is in the capital. If you really want to, you can organize the entire Meng family to pay tribute to her. I believe your aunt Gui will agree." said Old Lady Meng.
"No, that's an empty grave in the capital. My mother is buried in Fengxian."
"Nonsense!"
Meng Hui shook his head: "Grandma, I already know the truth, you don't have to say it anymore."
Madam Meng's face changed instantly, and she said sternly, "What's the truth? Don't listen to lies! Your biological mother was Miss An, and your grandfather buried her personally after her death. How could she appear in Feng County?"
"Then should I go back to Beijing to open the frame and inspect the grave?" Meng Huidao asked in return.
Madam Meng was stunned for two seconds, then slammed the table: "How ridiculous!"
"Grandma, my mother didn't die in the capital. She was stranded in Feng County and lived there for another four or five years before she died."
Meng Hui felt a pang of pain when he thought about his mother fleeing to Fengxian, thousands of miles away, in a mentally ill state.
His voice became hoarse, "Grandma, I don't know what happened back then. But now that I have found my biological mother's grave, I will not ignore it."
"Do you still want to be the head of this family?" Old Madam Meng shouted angrily.
Liu Feng was shivering on the side.
Alas, he knew that finding his relatives would not be so easy, and the Meng family would definitely take action!
But I didn’t expect them to send the old lady!
"It's okay if it's not appropriate." Meng Hui said without hesitation.
Madam Meng was shaking with anger.
The Meng family had few members, and his later wife Gui Jing only gave birth to a girl, Meng Ya, and then there was no more pregnancy.
Among his grandchildren, Meng Hui is the only eldest grandson.
The position of the head of the family is passed down to males, not females.
If Meng Hui doesn't become the head of the family, who will be?
"Meng Hui! Are you trying to control us?" Old Madam Meng asked angrily.
Meng Hui said calmly: "I worked hard to become the head of the family just to find my mother's whereabouts. Now that I have found her, it doesn't matter even if grandma kicks me out of the house!"
"Brother! Are you crazy? Is it worth it for Chu Ciyou?" Meng Ya screamed.
The position of the head of the Meng family is the chief among the wealthy families in Beijing. Giving up this status is equivalent to giving up the entire Beijing circle's resources.
Once he is expelled from the Meng family, he will have a hard time taking a step forward!
