Chapter 41 Brother-in-law, do you live with Sister Ning?
Lu Ran briefly shook hands with Wu Xiaomeng before withdrawing his hand and starting the vehicle.
After the car drove out of the high-speed rail station, Wu Xiaomeng blinked and asked, "Brother-in-law, did my mother offend you?"
Lu Ran pursed her lips: "No."
Wu Xiaomeng laughed and said, "You don't need to hide it from me. I know my mom best. Only my dad can tolerate her personality."
"Brother-in-law, my mom is my mom, and I am me. If she offends you or Sister Ning, please don't blame me too, okay?"
"I'm closest to Sister Ning. When we were little, I followed her around every day."
Lu Ran nodded: "I did hear Cheng Ning mention you. She said that when you were little, you were like a little follower to her, and you would even go to the toilet with her."
Seeing that Lu Ran didn't dislike her, Wu Xiaomeng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Brother-in-law, are you going to send me to my dad's now?"
"Yes, didn't your dad call your sister Ning and ask me to come pick you up?"
Wu Xiaomeng pouted, "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, I want to go to Sister Ning's place, can you take me? Please!"
"I finally made it to Chengjiang, and I haven't seen Sister Ning in so long. I really don't want to stay with my parents."
"They argue every day, it's so annoying."
"I'm planning to do an internship here. I intend to find a job in Chengjiang so I can visit Sister Ning more often."
Lu Ran thought for a moment and didn't agree immediately. Instead, he said, "Then I'll call and ask your cousin."
"Okay, okay, thank you, brother-in-law."
Wu Xiaomeng was very happy. She could finally see Sister Ning again, and Sister Ning had a very capable boyfriend. Her mother didn't dare to be arrogant in front of him anymore.
That way, when she goes to play with Ning, her mother won't be able to ruin the atmosphere anymore.
Lu Ran dialed Cheng Ning's number.
Once the call connected, Lu Ran relayed Wu Xiaomeng's message and asked Cheng Ning for her opinion.
Cheng Ning readily agreed.
"Sure, I miss Xiaomeng too."
"But my aunt might say, 'Why don't you have Xiaomeng ask my aunt instead?'"
Lu Ran said calmly, "If you're willing, then fine. That's settled. I'll turn around and bring her to see you right now."
After Lu Ran finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Wu Xiaomeng looked at him with admiration.
"Wow, brother-in-law, you're so handsome! That's great! I love this kind of brother-in-law. Brave brother-in-law, not afraid of my grumpy aunt! Yay!"
Lu Ran: ......
"Brother-in-law, why are you looking at me like that?"
Lu Ran replied, "I'm just a little confused. Your personality and your father's are quite different."
Wu Xiaomeng suddenly realized.
"I understand. Since you heard about me from Sister Ning, you must know about our family situation."
"But brother-in-law, you probably only know the surface."
"My dad is a bit weak-willed, but he's not stupid; in fact, he's very smart."
Lu Ran asked curiously, "Oh, why do you say that?"
Wu Xiaomeng laughed and said, "Because my dad knows that my mom has a bad temper and is hard to communicate with. At home, my mom is the boss. Whether it's my dad or my brother, they all have to listen to my mom. But my mom is often unreasonable."
"He lost so much money gambling, and then he had the nerve to blame my dad for being incompetent."
"My dad, for the sake of the family, naturally couldn't let things get too tense."
"So, many years ago, after I was born, my father was plotting a twenty-year-long conspiracy."
"My dad has always spoiled me since I was little, and I've never been afraid of my mom since I was old enough to understand things."
"As I grew older, I became more and more unruly. My mom can only control me on important matters; otherwise, I ignore her."
"Back in high school, I was the top student in the whole school, so I was even more privileged at home."
"That's when my dad told me that half of the family's money was my dowry, which I could take with me when I got married, but the other half was with my mom, and he told me to keep a close eye on her."
"From that time on, whenever my mother dared to go out to gamble and lose my dowry, I would chase after her and jump onto the card table so they couldn't play."
"Anyone who dared to play cards with my mom would be met with my complaints via megaphone during my holidays. After that, no one dared to play cards with my mom anymore. Over the years, my mom finally kicked her card addiction."
"Later, whenever I was home, my mom would behave much better."
"Brother-in-law, tell me, isn't my dad incredibly smart? He's been planning this for so many years; he's a real talent."
With her hands on her hips, Wu Xiaomeng recounted her legendary life with great enthusiasm.
Lu Ran became more and more impressed as he listened.
No wonder the father and daughter are so different; there's a reason for it all.
At that moment, he changed his opinion of Cheng Ning's uncle; this guy was truly amazing!
Judging from Wu Xiaomeng's personality right now, Lu Ran is convinced that she is not afraid of her mother at all.
Lu Ran immediately became even more convinced of this.
"Brother-in-law, look, this is a video of my mom faking tears because she couldn't wait for the car. Hahaha, it's hilarious! Look at the reactions in the family group chat, they're even asking if we're going to have a feast, haha."
While waiting at a red light, Wu Xiaomeng handed her phone to Lu Ran to show him a video she had recorded earlier.
After reading it, Lu Ran suddenly felt a little sorry for Cheng Ning's aunt.
With such an eccentric daughter, I don't know how we get through this.
Soon.
Lu Ran then drove back to the residential area.
In the elevator, Wu Xiaomeng asked curiously, "Brother-in-law, do you live with Sister Ning?"
Lu Ran smiled and said, "I live across from her; we're neighbors."
Wu Xiaomeng nodded: "Oh, I thought you two got married. I was wondering why I didn't hear anything about Ning-jie's wedding."
Lu Ran did not explain his relationship with Cheng Ning to Wu Xiaomeng.
Once the elevator reached the floor, he led her to Cheng Ning's room.
"This is your sister Ning's house, and the house across the street is mine."
"Let's go in."
Lu Ran has been cooking and eating with Cheng Ning most of the time recently. To make it easier for her to buy groceries and pick up things, Cheng Ning gave Lu Ran a key to her house.
So Lu Ran simply took out his key and opened the door.
Wu Xiaomeng followed them into the house.
Then they saw Cheng Ning carrying fruit and drinks, feeling her way out of the kitchen.
"You've arrived."
Wu Xiaomeng happily walked towards Cheng Ning with her arms outstretched.
"Sister Ning."
The two hugged each other tightly, both laughing happily.
"Sister Ning, I miss you so much."
I miss you, Xiaomeng, too.
"Xiaomeng, come over here. Have you told your aunt...?"
Wu Xiaomeng let go of Cheng Ning and laughed, "Who cares about her? I'm an adult now, I can go wherever I want. If it weren't for school, I would have come to see you, Sister Ning, a long time ago."
"My mom can't control me at all, Ning-jie, don't worry, I'm here, I won't let my mom bully you."
Cheng Ning patted her hand: "How can you talk to your aunt like that? She's your mother. You should be filial to her and understand her."
Wu Xiaomeng replied, "Sister Ning, I didn't say I was unfilial. I'll take care of her when she's old and treat her when she's sick, but I have to point out if I'm wrong."
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about my mom anymore. Ning-jie, when are you and your husband getting married? You absolutely have to invite me!"
