four less

Meng Jun watched nervously for a while, and finally agreed to eat in peace.

After dinner, everyone went back to their rooms.When it was almost nine o'clock, Meng Xuan came back and went to the study when the housekeeper said that Meng Zhe was looking for her.

The old butler went to the kitchen to find a servant to get a cup of fruit juice and a cup of tea. He brought it upstairs and was about to knock on the door when the door opened by itself. Meng Xuan rushed out with red eyes and almost knocked over the tea tray.

The old housekeeper asked in surprise, "Miss, what's wrong?"

Meng Xuan murmured in a nasal voice, "Housekeeper, I won't be at home to sleep at night", then ran downstairs, and soon heard the sound of the door opening and closing.

The old butler turned his head, stabilized the tea tray, and walked into the study. Meng Zhe was reading the plan at the desk, and raised his head upon hearing the sound.

The old butler put the tea tray on the table and asked, "Why did Miss go out crying?"

Meng Zhe closed his eyes, rubbed his temples and said, "She said that I prefer the fourth child and don't care about her."

The two brothers and sisters actually quarreled over this, and the housekeeper laughed secretly, but he still said: "Young Master, work is work, don't wear yourself out."

Meng Zhe nodded, then asked after a pause, "Do I have any?"

The old housekeeper said: "Miss was sent to the Zhou family not long after she was born, but you watched the Fourth Young Master grow up. It's no wonder."

Meng Zhe was noncommittal, took a sip of tea and said, "Go to sleep, I'll sleep after reading this."

The old butler said, "That's good." He took the juice and left.

Meng Zhe lowered his head and picked up the pen to annotate on the document. The ink ran out before finishing a line, and the ink bottle on the table was also dry, so he bent down and opened the drawer to find new ink.

Flipping through it casually, a picture popped up out of nowhere, making his eyes move.

In the photo is a handsome young man in a bachelor's uniform, wearing a square hat, and holding a scroll in one hand. What caught his attention was the three-year-old boy below, hugging the boy's leg, with a tender face.

Ten years really passed by in a flash.

Meng Liangren had a fight with Xu Shangwen and broke off contact. No one hooked him up to fool around like he did in the previous life, and he was tired of it.

Although he always fell asleep in class, he still stayed in the classroom and never skipped class.

Cong Rong was as diligent as ever, and there was a female classmate named Lu Xiaoxiao who would come to discuss topics every now and then, asking him to help with duty and the like.

It couldn't be more obvious what the little girl was thinking.

Meng Liangren has seen a lot of beauties. Although this Lu Xiaoxiao is not as good at dressing up as a young model, she is also pretty. She is very bookish but doesn't look like a bookworm, and her demeanor is quite delicate.

After being woken up again by the bell ringing after class, he sat up straight, stretched himself, and asked Cong Rong, "Are you going to have a girlfriend?"

Cong Rong was stunned and said, "...what?"

Meng Liangren flipped through the textbook with one hand, and said, "Do you like that Lu Xiaoxiao?"

Cong Rong was young and tender-faced, and said awkwardly: "We're just talking about learning..."

The interest on Meng Liangren's face made him unable to explain at all.

Cong Rong choked, and said after a while: "If the young master doesn't like me talking to her, I'll just keep her away."

Meng Liangren also choked: "...I didn't say anything."

So he turned his head to look out the window and yawned again, Cong Rong lowered his head and continued to sort out his notes.

When the class bell rang, the teacher walked into the classroom and began to give lectures. Fourth Young Master Meng's eyelids dropped again, and when he was about to step into Duke Zhou's house, a loud "Hello, teacher" called him back to reality.

At this time, the eyes of all the students in the class turned to the man at the door. He was not shy at all. He walked through the aisle between the seats with a shoulder bag on his back, walked to the seat behind Meng Liang, and put the bag up one by one. Sit down and get into a comfortable position ready to sleep.

The sleeping positions of the two are similar. Unfortunately, this class belongs to the head teacher. She couldn't bear it any longer. She patted the table and said, "Meng Liang, Pan Tao! Go out and stand for punishment."

Even if the family is rich and powerful, it doesn't matter whether the grades are good or bad, they can't let these two people bring down the atmosphere in the class.

Meng Liangren raised his head and looked at the maximally angry face of the supervisor at work.He glanced back at Pan Tao at the back table, who was still lying on his stomach.

He's in his twenties, so he can't be ashamed of being punished by the head teacher. After thinking about it, he stood up and walked towards the back door of the classroom. He patted Pan Tao and pulled him out as well. .

The two stood outside the classroom, Pan Tao rubbed his eyes, opened his mouth and said, "What's the matter, I'm so sleepy, let's talk when I wake up."

Meng Liangren sized him up, he was obviously a few years younger, why is this guy half a head taller than him?

Before he could speak, Pan Tao woke up from sleepiness first, punched him on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "I saw Xu Shangwen when I came here, good guy, one circle on each side, locked in a cage is a national treasure Ah! Why did he take such a big hand on you?"

Meng Liangren couldn't help laughing, this is really a treasure.

Few people have played with him since he was a child, except for Xu Shangwen, who is Pan Tao. Xu Shangwen's family is a red-eyed pug who licks anyone's feet when he is down and down. Pan Tao, who was thrown by the old man to the United States, secretly found someone to take care of him, and found him a place to live, but finally he didn't go to sleep in the park.

Meng Liang said: "Why haven't you come to school these days?"

Pan Tao lamented: "Last week, I beat up the Zhou family kid, and I had a good time, but he actually sued the parents. My dad shut me up at home when he got angry, and didn't give me my mobile phone. I know you're out of the hospital."

Liangren Meng thought, Zhou's family is the birth mother's family of Meng Zhe and Meng Xuan, and he has not met a few times. After Meng's father passed away, Meng Zhe took Meng Xuan back to Zhou's house for the New Year every year, but he would not take him.

Thinking about it now, he should also bring Meng Xu along.

Meng Liangren's heart skipped a beat, Pan Tao poked him and said, "Hey, you haven't said, how did Xu Shangwen offend you?"

He recovered and said: "It's nothing, I don't like him, so don't look for him in the future if you have nothing to do."

Pan Tao said "Oh", looked at him, and said, "Is it because of Tang Lan from class three? She is quite dishonest, there is no need to tear yourself apart for this kind of woman."

It was only then that Meng Liangren remembered that Tang Lan was also there that day, hugging Xu Shangwen, but he was angry, and he didn't bother to take these people to heart.

Pan Tao stretched his waist and said: "Oh, I didn't sleep well, I'm hungry, let's go, brother will take you there."

Meng Liangren didn't refuse. After thinking about it, he took out his mobile phone and sent a text message to Cong Rong: "I'm eating outside at noon, don't wait for me."

The Pan family started out as a hotel and some entertainment venues, and now it is mainly a real estate and brokerage company. Although it is not a family like Ye and Zhou, Pan's father has both talents and connections, and is a great business talent. Can stand shoulder to shoulder with Meng Yezhou.

Pan Tao also has an older brother who is as good as Meng Zhe, so Pan's father is not worried that there will be no successors, but just grabs and disciplines the younger son every now and then.

Since he started out as a catering business, Pan's father also cooks good food, and even Pan Tao has a tricky taste.

Meng Liangren was taken to a small tavern by him. When he entered the door, the furnishings were very simple. The tables and chairs were old, but they were very clean. There were all kinds of old wine jars and bottles on the shelves against the wall.

He found a seat by the window and sat down. Pan Tao ordered at the counter and said, "Half a catty of boiled fish, fried pork, and rice."

Meng Liangren asked, "Is this your shop?"

Pan Tao repeatedly shook his head and said, "How is it possible, the teacher here is a head taller than my father."

After a while, the dishes came out, not as exquisite as those in big restaurants, but they were very fragrant and the portions were sufficient.

Meng Liangren took a sip and said, "It's not bad."

Pan Tao talked triumphantly about the old history of this shop. The chopsticks in his hand were no slower than that of Meng Liangren. The two young men who were still picking sticks ate three catties of boiled fish for a meal. The proprietress laughed when she saw it: "Slow down, don't choke."

When the two of them couldn't move anymore, Pan Tao leaned back on the chair and said, "This shop also makes dim sum, let's take some home?"

Meng Liangren also leaned on the chair and said, "Okay."

The dim sum was packed in a small wooden box, Meng Liangren took it home, thought about it, put it in the refrigerator, and planned to keep it for supper.

The housekeeper asked him, "Is the young master still having dinner?"

Meng Liangren shook his head and said, "No need." Then he went upstairs.

After a while, Meng Xuan came back from shopping, and Ye Chan was by his side.

The butler went to pour tea and said, "Miss Ye, will you stay for dinner?"

Meng Xuan laughed and said, "Sister Ye Chan is sleeping at our house today."

The butler nodded: "Okay."

Ye Chan sat on the sofa, glanced at the old butler and said, "Don't bother?"

Meng Xuan laughed and said, "What are you bothering me about, we're almost a family now." Then he said to the butler, "I've been walking all afternoon, and I'm a little hungry."

The housekeeper said: "There are cakes for the young master in the refrigerator, Miss, please eat two."

Meng Xuan said, "That's fine, I'll get it myself."

As she spoke, she came to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator door. On the first floor was a small cake for Meng Jun, and on the second floor was a wooden box. She was curious, so she took it out and opened it, and a scent of pastries wafted out.

After taking it to the living room, Ye Chan was looking at the display on the carved shelf when Meng Xuan gestured to her for the box in his hand: "This snack is pretty good, do you want some?"

Ye Chan glanced at the scratched old box lid, and said with a smile, "I don't want to eat, I still have to pay attention to my figure."

Meng Xuan was polite, but he thought it would be fine if he didn't eat.

At night, Meng Liangren went downstairs to look for food. He searched the three floors of the refrigerator, but Mao didn't see it.
