normal friend

Chapter 34: Wake

When Meng Weiqing arrived at the living room on the first floor of the villa where his parents lived, the mourning hall had already been set up, and Sister Gu tied the prepared filial cloth around his waist.

Sitting next to Meng Weijia and Meng Weike, it was not difficult for Meng Weiqing to feel a little strange.Especially Meng Weijia, who always looked at him as hesitant to speak.Fortunately, the guests began to come to express their condolences one after another. Meng Weijia couldn't find a chance to speak, so she could only hold back what she wanted to ask.

Apparently, the whole universe has seen that the most popular Weibo has been blown up in Moments. Meng Weiqing stared at the portrait of his mother with a blank expression, ignoring anyone's gaze.On the way before he came, he arranged for someone to look for Bai Xiaojun, but there was no news.

Meng Weiqing deliberately staggered the lunch time with the others, packed the food and took it to the study on the second floor, and called Bai Xiaojun over and over while eating.I didn't get through the phone after dinner.

Meng Weiqing wanted to find a temporary helper downstairs to collect the dishes, but halfway up the stairs, when Sister Gu saw him, she went up the stairs by herself, and when she passed by Meng Weiqing, she asked without losing the opportunity: "The things said on the Internet are true. Is it?"

"Heh, Miss Gu also plays Weibo?"

"No, someone in our elementary school classmates sent it. I don't know if it's true or not, and I didn't dare to talk nonsense, and some people came to ask me specifically. Aite asked me for a private chat several times. Oh, it's so annoying. !"

Meng Weiqing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Just say you don't know, and ignore them."

Just in time, I saw a familiar person coming from downstairs, and seeing the unsatisfactory expression on Sister Gu's face, Meng Weiqing hurriedly said hello before leaving.

Feeling sleepy after eating, the room was full of people, and the heater was so hot that Meng Weiqing felt a lack of oxygen after sitting for a while, so he got up and decided to go outside to take a breath.

The garden in front of the door was still full of people. Meng Weiqing went to the back door to open the door to see if there was anyone in the back garden, but saw Meng Weike sitting on an outdoor dining chair and smoking a cigarette with an ashtray.It was inappropriate to go back again, and just happened to have something to ask, so Meng Weiqing simply went out and sat opposite him.

Asking Meng Weike for a cigarette, Meng Weiqing lit it and took a puff, "You gave Wu Xiangdong those photos on the Internet?"

Meng Weike had just finished smoking the cigarette in his hand, and he crushed the butt of the cigarette in the ashtray, "Why did you think it was me?"

"Apart from you, who would want to catch me all day long and let people secretly film me? Aren't you just looking for an opportunity to kick me out of the board of directors? The more negative and negative news about me, the better for you. How good it is now Ah, you don’t need to take action. My engagement with Wu Feifei was dissolved, I had a big fight with Qing, I was out of the closet, I was listed on the trending searches with a popular star, and the company’s stock price has been falling since the opening of the market this morning. Didn’t you want all of this? Is it?"

Meng Wei laughed, "But I didn't expect that these things happened to coincide with my mother's death. You must be feeling very sad now, right?"

Meng Weiqing took a deep breath of the cigarette and then let it out, "Fortunately, even if it's a long-term pain, it's better to have a short-term pain. You made me make up my mind: get the hell out of me and go back to Canada immediately after the funeral is over the day after tomorrow, and don't come back in a short time. Here It's enough for you to pack up your things and say goodbye to your friends for a week. Don't meddle in the company's affairs in the future."

Meng Weike narrowed his eyes, "So cruel?"

Meng Weiqing flicked the cigarette ash and raised an eyebrow, "Anyway, now that my mother is gone, I don't need to care about anyone's feelings."

"Hmph, yes, Mom is gone. You don't have to care about anyone's feelings anymore."

Meng Wei was ridiculously ridiculous, and Meng Weiqing was not sure whether he was just repeating his own words or had some deep meaning.Just wanted to try again.As soon as the door opened, Meng Weijia leaned out half of her body wrapped in a huge black shawl.

"Don't rush into the house to greet the guests, the two of you brothers are having a lively conversation right now?"

Meng Weiqing pinched his cigarette and stood up, wanting to go back to the house.

Meng Weijia waved his hand, "Sit down, I have something to ask you. Xiao Ke goes to socialize first."

Helpless, Meng Weiqing had no choice but to sit back in the chair first. Meng Weike got up and gloated at Meng Weiqing, "The ghost of the Meng family is about to torture and extract a confession. I hope you can bear it."

Meng Weijia asked someone to bring out a pot of hot tea. The two of them drank the tea. Meng Weiqing didn't wait for the "torture to extract a confession" and simply explained everything.

After finishing speaking, Meng Weiqing shrugged, "That's it, that's it, there is no more story. Let's go in and see if you are cold."

Meng Weijia obviously didn't want to leave, she frowned and refilled two more cups of tea, "You said that Bai Xiaojun only knew who you were after reading the news that his friend took screenshots for him?"

"Yes." Meng Weiqing had no choice but to sit back.

Meng Weijia sneered, "Do you believe it?"

Meng Weiqing was stunned, "What do you mean?"

"What do you mean by me? He's an actor."

"You said he was pretending not to know me? Impossible."

"Don't be fooled by his appearance. People are like this. When they see good-looking things, they will lose their minds and want to buy them. When they see good-looking people, they will lose their minds and believe in him. You can recall carefully: If Bai Xiaojun hadn't You treat him as an ordinary tenant, would you be interested in him? You said that ten years ago Wu Xiangdong wanted to hide, rule, and rule him. A secret that has been hidden for ten years can be so easily told to someone you have known for only three days. If you have a chance, you can even ask him in person: Did the turning point in Bai Xiaojun's life begin when he met you, Meng Weiqing?"

Meng Weiqing was speechless when asked.

Meng Weijia didn't drink the tea in the cup, but kept warming his hands with the teacup.But the weather is cold, the body of the cup will be cold soon.

Putting down the teacup, Meng Weijia got up and walked towards the door, "I don't mean anything else. I'm not too young. I have no right to interfere with what you want to do. I just want to remind you. But no matter what you do, as long as you don't hurt Ming Rainbow is fine."

When the door rang, Meng Weiqing was the only one left in the yard.He rested his elbows on the table, closed his eyes, raised his hands and rubbed his forehead vigorously, and let out a long sigh.

Bai Xiaojun got the news on the morning of Song Chunhong's funeral two days later.

After the funeral, when entertaining the guests for dinner at the restaurant, Meng Weiqing couldn't shirk, and added a few new friends on WeChat.After passing the verifications one by one, he clicked on Moments once in ten years and took a look. He didn't expect to see the real estate agent's advertisement on the first post: it was a floor plan—the exact same floor plan as Bai Xiaojun's house.And the one who sent the message was the girl who helped Meng Weiqing find a house.Because she hardly reads or posts on Moments, Meng Weiqing didn't block anyone.For the first time, Meng Weiqing looked at the girl's name carefully, and it turned out that her name was Tang Xinxin.

Meng Weiqing hurriedly sent a message, and the other party replied quickly.

Sure enough, it was Bai Xiaojun who wanted to sell the house, and the information was just entered last night.In the past two days, Meng Weiqing had someone knock on the door of Bai Xiaojun's house several times, but no one answered.

Just be alive.

Without saying a word, Meng Weiqing immediately found an excuse to leave the hotel and drove straight to the intermediary company.

"I bought this house, let's ask the owner to meet and sign the contract." Meng Weiqing stood in front of Tang Xinxin holding up his mobile phone.

Tang Xinxin looked distressed, "Mr. Meng, the matter between you and Brother Bai... um... I have seen some of it. I guess he won't sell the house to you."

"If you let him come, I will naturally have a way to get him to sell the house to me. But don't tell me who the buyer is first."

"Isn't that bad? Besides..."

"Don't want to earn agency fees?"

"But……"

"Then how many houses should I buy from you first?"

"Ouch!" Tang Xinxin burst into tears, "Mr. Meng, don't be like this. Then...I...I'll send Brother Bai a WeChat message."

After a while, Tang Xinxin poured Meng Weiqing a glass of water, and led him to the small conference room where they had signed the contract before, "You sit here and wait for a while, Brother Bai said he will be there in an hour and a half."

Meng Weiqing followed Tang Xinxin, feeling strange eyes all around her.Since these things happened, he felt that he was about to suffer from paranoia for the past two days.

Walking to the door of the conference room, Meng Weiqing pointed to another empty room next to him, "I'll wait here. When Bai Xiaojun arrives, let him in first, and then come and call me."

This time, Bai Xiaojun was very punctual. Tang Xinxin came over to call Meng Weiqing in an hour and eighteen minutes.Meng Weiqing stood at the door of the conference room, Tang Xinxin turned around as quickly as possible without saying anything.

After symbolically knocking twice, Meng Weiqing pushed the door open.
