Pfft.
Haven't seen each other for so long.
Crying as soon as we meet?
What kind of situation is this?
Meng Hao dotingly rubbed Qin Muyan's head.
"Alright, alright."
"What are you crying about? Am I not alive and well?"
"The strange thing is, why are you at my place?"
Hearing Meng Hao's question.
Qin Muyan finally reacted.
She didn't rush to answer, but hurriedly pulled Meng Hao back to the main living room.
"Uncle, Auntie."
"Look, who's back?"
Who's back?
Meng Hao's mother, who was making a fuss about packing and going to the US to find her son, looked up.
Then she lost all intention of throwing a tantrum.
"Son?"
"Why are you back?"
Heavens.
This was simply a miracle!
Didn't they say their son was detained by the US?
How did he return in the blink of an eye?
Facing his parents' excited inability to speak.
Meng Hao's gaze fell on the suitcase in front of him, and the stacks of clothes and bedding inside.
"Eh?"
"Taking advantage of my absence."
"Are you two planning to go on a trip?"
Facing Meng Hao's teasing.
The originally tense atmosphere instantly became cheerful.
"You ungrateful child, you either don't come back, or you tease your parents as soon as you do."
"Do you know that Qin Muyan has helped us a lot while you were away?"
"Hurry up and marry this girl Qin Muyan, and it will bring good luck… If you wrong this girl Qin Muyan, we'll break your legs, believe it or not."
Uh!
Meng Hao flinched.
Wrong Qin Muyan?
How would that be considered wrong?
Does having two other women, Zhang Xijin and Luna, outside count?
Cough, cough, cough.
Regarding marriage.
Meng Hao didn't want to dwell on it.
"Let's put the matter of marriage aside for now."
"I want to ask, my dear mother, where are you planning to travel?"
I must say.
Meng Hao's method of confusing the issue and diverting attention was quite effective.
After the initial shock and joy.
Meng Hao's father also broke into a smile.
Their son was back.
Everything was settled.
He chuckled and patted his wife's shoulder.
"Your mother was planning to go to the US to find you."
"It's good that you're back, otherwise I really wouldn't know how to stop her."
Pfft.
Meng Hao squinted and smiled.
"Alright, alright."
"You father and son stop teasing me."
"Son, what do you want to eat? I'll make it for you."
Their son was back.
Meng Hao's mother was naturally overjoyed and didn't say anything more, but eagerly prepared to cook.
As for the staff arranged to take care of their daily lives, they were completely left aside, especially when they offered to help cook, their request was directly rejected.
What a joke.
She hadn't seen her son for more than half a year.
Meng Hao's mother would not let anyone else prepare the reunion dinner after such a long separation.
"I say."
"I've finally come back."
"Are you just going to make me stand around?"
Seeing his mother disappear into the kitchen.
Meng Hao chuckled and joked with the aunts and great aunts who had been accompanying his parents.
"Oh, oh, oh."
"Look at us, our brains."
"Hurry up and cook, Meng Hao, and get some water!"
"Speaking of which, I still feel like I'm dreaming, how did Meng Hao come back?"
"Didn't you say you had joined the US citizenship?"
"..."
Facing the barrage of questions from his relatives, Meng Hao smiled and answered cautiously.
After all.
These relatives had stayed to accompany his parents when they were being ostracized nationwide because of him, which was already a significant gesture of goodwill.
...
Lunch was quickly prepared.
There wasn't much variety, just common home-style dishes.
However.
The portions were enormous.
Enough for everyone present to eat their fill.
As the saying goes, joy makes one feel invigorated.
Meng Hao's mother, who had been worried to the point of developing half white hair, now looked exceptionally vibrant.
She fumbled all over Meng Hao's body.
"Mom."
"Can I just have a proper meal? I'm starving."
"Your son suffered a lot outside these past six months, but not to the point of losing limbs."
In front of so many relatives.
His mother's actions made him feel a little embarrassed.
Facing Meng Hao's protest.
Meng Hao's parents just chuckled.
Their son was back.
What could be happier than this?
While eating, they chatted first.
Then they talked about Meng Hao's mother's plan to go to the US to find him.
"Well, it's good you didn't go."
"If you had gone to the US, I'm afraid that by the time I returned, you two would have been detained."
Meng Hao concisely recounted what had happened over the past six months, making his relatives grit their teeth in anger.
"I knew it, our Meng Hao has always been a patriotic child since he was young, how could he have joined US citizenship..."
"Those damned American bastards, playing dirty tricks, and they call themselves the world's number one power, bah..."
"That's right, since the US gambled their national reputation, how could they have let you leave so easily..."
This involved a different level of matters.
Meng Hao vividly recounted how he had built a good relationship with William and secretly developed and manufactured a submarine.
Of course.
Regarding his indulgence on the cruise ship.
And the matters involving Zhang Xijin and Luna.
Meng Hao glossed over them.
Damn it.
It was evident.
While he was away.
Qin Muyan had devoted herself wholeheartedly to his family.
And his parents seemed to like Qin Muyan a lot too.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have suggested marriage between him and Qin Muyan.
Qin Muyan was also very well-behaved.
Even though it was mealtime.
She was still busy, helping to serve dishes and refill bowls.
She even found opportunities to report the current situation of Huarong Technology to Meng Hao.
"People's hearts are understandable."
After hearing that Huarong Technology, which he had founded, had not collapsed under the persistent efforts of Chenghua and Qin Muyan, but its business had declined significantly.
Meng Hao sighed with emotion.
"However, with Brother Hao back, everything will be easier."
"You are the backbone of the entire company."
"After eating, why not find an opportunity to visit the company?"
Facing Qin Muyan's question.
Meng Hao slowly shook his head.
"For now, I don't have time to go to the company."
"After dinner, I need to go to Kyoto."
"However, to reward those employees who stayed, we can allocate a sum of money as bonuses... As for the exact amount, please discuss with Uncle Chenghua."
