Sister Wang smiled, handed the beautiful lilies to Tang Xiaoyu, and said, "Today a young man brought these flowers here! I was not in the office when you returned to the community just now. I knew you were coming back, so I rushed to bring them to you."

Tang Xiaoyu was stunned and asked, "Who sent me flowers?"

Sister Wang pointed at the card, her eyes full of gossip and curiosity, and said, "There is a card on it. It's either your boyfriend or your suitor."

Working in property management is actually not busy.

What she is most interested in is the gossip of the people in the community, which is one of the sources of fun in her daily work.

Tang Xiaoyu blinked, picked up the card and opened it, and asked in surprise: "It's him?"

Liu Meilan also came over and asked, "Isn't it Ye Qiang?"

Tang Xiaoyu shook his head, looking embarrassed, and said, "It's not Ye Qiang, it's Qiao Xi."

"Ah?" Liu Meilan was stunned. "Is this guy ever going to stop? He pretended to pursue me before, and now he's pursuing you! I always feel that his motives are a little impure!"

Tang Xiaoyu nodded. She also felt awkward, so she tore up the card and threw it into the trash can. She said to Sister Wang, "Sister Wang, please take this bouquet of flowers downstairs for me and throw it into the trash can. If this person sends me flowers again in the future, I don't want them, so please don't accept them."

Sister Wang thought the bouquets were so pretty that she couldn't bear to throw them away. She said, "Xiao Yu, I won't accept any flowers from that person in the future! But these flowers are pretty. Can I put them in the vase in my office instead of throwing them in the trash?"

Tang Xiaoyu nodded and said, "I don't want any anyway, it's up to you! I already have a boyfriend, so I won't accept any flowers from now on unless they're sent by Ye Qiang! Sister Wang, can you please help me select them?"

Sister Wang's eyes lit up and she asked, "Is that the energetic young man who used to ride a motorcycle?"

Tang Xiaoyu was surprised and asked, "Sister Wang, how did you know?"

Sister Wang smiled mysteriously, quite proudly, and said, "Of course I know, because in the past this young man often rode his motorcycle and stopped on the path in that grove! He would only leave after seeing you enter the community."

"I used to think this guy had bad intentions, so I even asked security to question him and keep an eye on him. But recently this guy hasn't come. Could it be that he is no longer active after getting the chance?"

Facing Sister Wang's curious gossip, Tang Xiaoyu patiently explained: "No, my boyfriend was injured! He is now out of the hospital and recuperating at home."

Sister Wang couldn't help but comment: "That guy is handsome and tall, but he rides a motorcycle all day, wandering around, and his hair is so long. It's obvious that he doesn't have a proper job."

"Did he learn to get involved in gangs from Hong Kong? Xiaoyu, listen to me. When looking for a boyfriend, you must find a reliable one, and never look for those second-rate guys."

In the eyes of middle-aged ladies like Sister Wang, Ye Qiang used to be a drifter who was not doing his job properly and was not a good candidate for love or marriage.

Seeing Tang Xiaoyu embarrassed, Liu Meilan explained for her, "Sister Wang, Xiaoyu's boyfriend's family owns a factory and has a legitimate job. He used to like riding a motorcycle around, so he's not idle."

When Sister Wang heard this, she suddenly realized what was going on and said, "So that's how it is. I'm relieved now! Xiaoyu, Meilan, please don't think I'm nagging you."

"At my age, seeing that you are the same age as my daughter, I am afraid that you have been deceived, so I can't help but say a few more words. If I have offended you, I apologize."

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Sister Wang, you have good intentions, we know that. Our Xiaoyu is such a good girl, it's normal for her to have other suitors."

"But our Xiaoyu is a very decent person. Once she has a boyfriend, she will never have an affair with other men. Xiaoyu will not do something like having multiple relationships at the same time."

Sister Wang nodded and praised: "Yes, that's how it should be! It was the same in our generation. If we liked each other, we would be together. There would be ups and downs, quarrels, but it would last a lifetime."

"Look at these young men and women now, living a life of drunkenness and debauchery. Sometimes I get angry when I see them, but we can't say anything. Come on, hurry up and eat. I'm leaving now!"

Sister Wang left happily holding the bouquet of flowers.

Looking at Sister Wang's leaving figure, Tang Xiaoyu closed the door, thinking about something.

Liu Meilan asked while drinking soup: "What are you thinking about? Do you want to know Qiao Xi's purpose?"

Tang Xiaoyu shook his head and said, “No matter what Josh’s purpose is, it has nothing to do with me! Because I will never get too close to someone I don’t feel good about.”

"I was distracted just now because of Sister Wang. Will we be so nagging and nosy when we are her age?"

Liu Meilan touched her chin and said, "I am only interested in things about people I know. I won't spend extra energy caring about people I don't know."

"As for you, I think you have the potential to be a sister! If you think this is not good, then try to remind yourself not to become like this."

Tang Xiaoyu chuckled and said, "I don't think this is bad, I just think it's tiring to say this every day, isn't it?"

Liu Meilan also smiled and said, "I see that Sister Wang is not tired at all, but full of energy! People like her should not have any psychological problems!"

"In real life, I would rather date someone who talks a lot, because at least you know what she's thinking. On the contrary, the kind of person who doesn't say anything is hard to get along with, and you have to guess everything."

Tang Xiaoyu nodded and said, "Don't think about it anymore. We'll talk about it later! The last time you went to Beijing, Qiao Xi chased you fiercely before you left, but he disappeared after you came back. What did you do to him?"

Liu Meilan shook her head and chuckled, saying, "I didn't do anything to Qiao Xi. It was Fu Chen who found a big loophole in Qiao Xi's bidding documents in Jin City. He gave his eldest brother some advice and asked him to review it again. He also added some additional clauses to protect the effective use of state-owned land, which caused the Qiao family to suffer a great loss. After that, Qiao Xi left Beijing overnight."

Tang Xiaoyu chuckled and said, "Your Fu Chen is still thoughtful."

Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Maybe. We should all be careful. I hope these people can understand what I'm saying and stop pestering us."

The two of them were talking while eating. Tang Xiaoyu had work in the afternoon and had to go to the company, while Liu Meilan went to the university staff quarters.

Liu Meilan packed a bowl of coconut chicken soup from the coconut chicken restaurant near the pier.

When Professor Xie got home from get off work, he saw his daughter and was very happy. He asked, "Meilan, did your trip go well?"

"It went well. I'll be back soon." Liu Meilan smiled. "You must have been very busy these past two days. I see you have dark circles under your eyes and you've lost weight. My second brother will be out soon, so don't worry."

Professor Xie shook his head and sighed, saying, "I'm not worried about your second brother. He's just like that anyway! I've been more worried about you these days."

"Worried about me?" Liu Meilan pointed at herself. "Why? I'm doing fine now. My work is going well, and I'm also managing my second brother's company. There's nothing to worry about!"

Looking at the optimistic and cheerful Liu Meilan, Professor Xie gently stroked his daughter's head and said, "Your father probably won't be promoted. You also have a second brother who is holding you back. I'm worried about the Fu family..."

Liu Meilan hugged Professor Xie's arm and said, "Mom, if the Fu family dislikes it, they will postpone the engagement at the right time; if they don't dislike it, then we will get married at the end of the year. Besides, if I am disliked, I am not the kind of person who would seek death or pester for love. I can only say that Fu Chen and I are not destined to be together."

When Professor Xie heard this, he hugged his daughter and said, "You will be sad at that time! We are the ones who have held you back."

"Mom, please don't say that." Liu Meilan smiled, thinking of Ms. Yuan, "If I were not your daughter, but just a little fisherman, even if I looked like a fairy, the Fu family would never agree to let me date Fu Chen. I have always known this."

"Child..." Professor Xie was speechless, worried that he would cry if he continued.

Seeing this, Liu Meilan comforted her, "Mom, promise me that you won't be sad, okay? You also said that children and grandchildren will have their own blessings. I am a contented child and will not be depressed by a relationship. If you are worried about my being broken off and feel sad and hurt your health, I will be ten thousand times more sad than if you were broken off."

Back at the Liu family, family love is everywhere.

Maybe not so enthusiastically, but it is everywhere.

Liu Meilan had no doubt that her second brother, who was a troublemaker outside, loved her very much.

Love is a matter between two people, but marriage is a matter between two families.

It has not changed since ancient times.

Professor Xie hugged Liu Meilan tightly and finally burst into tears.

Liu Meilan hugged her mother, patted her thin back, and said, "Mom, it will all pass."

Professor Xie, who has been strong all her life, did not cry in front of her father-in-law, her husband, or her son, but her heart was touched by her daughter and she could not suppress her emotions.

This is the family housing compound, and even when Professor Xie cried, he did so quietly, but his tears did not decrease as his voice became quieter.

When Professor Xie's crying subsided, Liu Meilan smiled and said, "Mom, go wash your face. I'll heat up the coconut chicken. You can drink more to replenish your body. You are under great pressure at work and have many family matters to deal with. You must replenish your body."

"I'm waiting for you to retire so that you can take care of my children! Children are so naughty and run around everywhere. You can't do that without a healthy body."

"Okay!" Professor Xie finally vented his frustration and felt a lot more relaxed.

After washing his face with cold water, Professor Xie felt more comfortable.

Liu Meilan even took out a piece of ice cream from the refrigerator and said, "Mom, put it on your eyes and you can drink the chicken soup right away."

Take the popsicle from my daughter and apply it on my eyes through the packaging bag. It can effectively improve the redness and swelling of the eyes.

By the time the coconut chicken was heated up, Professor Xie's redness and swelling in the eyes had subsided by half, and after drinking the soup, his mood improved.

"I should have been the one protecting you, but I didn't expect you to heal me." Professor Xie looked at his daughter with endless love in his eyes.

How could there be such a good daughter in the world?

Liu Meilan chuckled, cleared the dishes, and said, "Mom, you, Dad, and Grandpa have always protected us from the wind and rain! Now we have grown up healthily. Although my second brother looks a little crooked, you have done a good job. Now that we have grown up, we will work hard to become the glory and support of our parents."

Liu Meilan's words instantly propped up Professor Xie's fragile heart, as if the road ahead was not scary at all.

That night, Liu Meilan stayed at home with her mother and cousin and did not go back to Tang Xiaoyu to rest.

The next morning, I accompanied my mother for a run, had dinner, and then took the early boat back to Sifang Island.

I didn’t have time to go home, so I went to the detention center to visit my second brother.

Compared with the last time when he was listless, Liu Yiwen looked a little more energetic this time.

"Meilan, aren't you busy? It's a waste of time to come to see me so often!" Although Liu Yiwen was looking forward to his family coming to see him, he also knew to avoid suspicion.

Liu Meilan rolled her eyes and said, "In our family, besides me, who do you think is suitable? I received a call that my eldest brother and third brother were also investigated, but their activities were limited, so the investigation was over quickly."

Liu Yiwen lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry!"

"I'm sorry, what's the use? Can you use your brain more in the future and stop being so horny? Can you use it less?" As the younger sister, Liu Meilan had some things that were not suitable to say, but now she was the only one who could say them.

"Meilan, this time, I really changed!" Liu Yiwen blushed, "Please give me another chance."

Liu Meilan raised her eyebrows and said, "I hope what you said this time is true, otherwise our family will really be finished. Although our family didn't suffer any serious injuries this time, we have also suffered some skin injuries."

Liu Yiwen didn't expect that his whole family would be implicated this time. Unlike the previous time when Xu Tiantian framed him, this made him realize the horror of the matter.

"Really? It's more real than real gold." Liu Yiwen nodded, "Meilan, believe me again."

Apart from believing it again, what other good options does Liu Meilan have?

Do you really want grandpa to break Liu Yiwen’s legs?

Even a tiger won’t eat its own cubs, so the Liu family couldn’t bring themselves to do it.

"Anyway, I only believe what you do. I don't believe what you say." Liu Meilan rolled her eyes. "When you come out, show me how to do it. Second brother, don't let our family down again. We are still able to bear the consequences of your unruly behavior. When we can't bear it anymore, what awaits us may be a fall to the bottom, or even the destruction of our family."

Liu Yiwen took a deep breath. Everything had gone smoothly for him since he was a child, which made him reckless.

Because in his heart, his parents will provide him with a safety net.

But now it seems that this is not working, because the mistakes he made were not small mistakes like breaking a glass or a flower pot like he did when he was a child.

"Meilan, I understand." Liu Yiwen remembered his sister's words clearly. This time he had implicated his father and made all his years of hard work go to waste.

If he continues like this, and the Liu family falls into decline, Liu Yiwen will be nothing.

What's the use of having a few filthy coins? In the end, they will be eaten up by others.

Afterwards, Liu Meilan told Liu Yiwen about the real estate company and told him not to worry.

Fortunately, he will be released soon, otherwise many people would covet such a big stall.

Mr. Liu stopped playing chess at this time. He sat on the recliner and closed his eyes to rest.

This incident dealt a heavy blow to Mr. Liu, so much so that he no longer concentrates on anything he does, not even playing chess.

After a round of investigation, it was found that among the entire Liu family, Liu Meilan had the broadest mind and was the most open-minded.

Liu Meilan patted the old man's shoulders obediently and said, "Grandpa, don't worry too much. I still like the old man who was always cheerful."

Mr. Liu thought of the call he received from Mr. Fu last night. The other party's attitude was the same as before, but he emphasized that he had a nightmare.

This is not a good sign!
