Chapter 377: Chapter 220: Getting Acquainted (Part 2)
Mr. Wen pondered for a moment, "I think we should chat together, let Wen Tong and the younger ones take Hua Rui and Hua Ping out for a walk. Young people can’t stand this stuffiness."
Mrs. Liang quickly said, "Brother is really open-minded."
Mr. Liang also chimed in, "Exactly, we were afraid this kind of big family would look down on us commoners, but now it seems I was being too suspicious."
"Hehe... We are not that rigid." Mr. Wen looked at the younger ones, "The wild fruits in the garden are almost ripe, it’s rare for us to gather together, go and have some fun."
Wen Ke and Luo Ye exchanged a glance and stood up, "Uncle, you take little aunt for a walk, we’ll accompany little aunt’s brother, so you don’t say we’re disturbing your twosome time."
"Ke, would I do that?" Wen Tong smiled, seeing him and Liang Huarui exchanging glances, it was clear they were stuck together.
Liang Huaping didn’t talk much; Wen Ke introduced him to the scenery in the yard, his response was nothing but "not bad" or nodding, Little Pumpkin glanced sideways with a bored look, coaxing Luo Ye, "I’m heading back, Lu Lu said he might come soon, I’m going to meet him."
"Go ahead." Luo Ye waved his hand, "When you meet him, bring him to find us." He thought for a moment, looked at the calm-faced Wen Yan and bored-looking Wen Su, "Big brother, second brother, why don’t you guys go to the side hill slope and pick some wild fruits for us to eat?"
"Sure, little aunt and..." Wen Yan suddenly got stuck, he really didn’t know how to address Liang Huaping, from uncle’s point of view, he should also call him ’uncle’, but looking at the age, he really couldn’t say it, and mumbled unclearly, "XX, Wen Su and I will go pick some wild fruits for you and little aunt to try."
Liang Huaping laughed, "Thank you, just call me Liang Huaping."
Wen Yan smiled awkwardly, "How can that be, let’s just stick to each form, let’s call you Brother Liang, I really can’t bring myself to call you ’uncle’."
"You call, I wouldn’t dare to answer," Liang Huaping joked for once.
Seeing he was left with just four young girls, Liang Huaping felt a bit awkward, smiled, "Or maybe I should just take a walk myself, you girls go pick some fruits."
"No need, with big brother and second brother picking, it is enough." Luo Ye cheerfully looked at Liang Huaping, "Brother Liang, sorry, I have to impose on you this way."
"No imposition, no imposition," Liang Huaping waved his hands repeatedly.
Luo Ye pulled Xing Nong over, "Honestly, we’ve seen you before, guess where?"
"I can’t guess," Liang Huaping shook his head.
Luo Ye hinted, "We are new students at GF University."
"Sorry to make you laugh," Liang Huaping’s expression became a bit unnatural, knowing when these two must have seen him.
Xing Nong chuckled, "No laughing matter, let me gossip a bit, are you and the Instructor getting married?"
"Married?" Liang Huaping gave a bitter smile, "I wish."
Xing Nong scratched his head, "That’s not right, our school’s senior clearly saw you and the Instructor shopping for marriage necessities."
"That was me accompanying my sister to look at marriage goods, she and my sister are on good terms, my sister also wanted to ease me and her relationship, hence she invited her along," Liang Huaping sighed, "I can guess what you are referring to, Menglin is from the Hang family, hence, you suspect my sister wanting to marry into the Wen Family has some ulterior motives, right?"
"Isn’t it so?" Wen Ke stared at Liang Huaping, "You are very smart, and straightforward, so, I hope we can speak frankly."
"What you’re asking, I have answers to, I’m so cooperative because I consider your suspicions, otherwise, these personal matters, why would I easily speak about?" Liang Huaping’s eyes flashed with anger, "You major family people, you claim to treat everyone equally on the surface, but deep down you don’t respect us common folks at all, always assuming a tiny benefit could make us betray ourselves, betray our dignity, Hang family is like this, you are not much better!"
"Don’t get agitated!" Luo Ye pointed to a nearby chair, "Let’s sit down and talk, if we really suspected you and your sister each have ulterior motives for climbing the social ladder, we wouldn’t ask you directly, right?"
Since Liang Huaping misunderstood it this way, Luo Ye simply went along with the flow, determining from the conversation that day, Menglin definitely wouldn’t tell Liang Huaping about her relationship with the Yu Family.
Liang Huaping sat down, his gaze clear as he looked at them, "What do you want to know, just say it."
"Nothing more." Luo Ye shook his head, "With you looking like this, whatever we ask feels like we’re interrogating, it doesn’t feel good," he looked at Wen Ke, Xing Nong, and Yaoguang, "What do you think?"
"Yes!" The three nodded vigorously.
Liang Huaping thought for a moment, "Sorry, I got a bit agitated just now, at least up to now, the Wen Family elders have always been very friendly to the Liang family, unlike the Hang family, seeing my parents is like looking at trash."
"Why then..." Xing Nong smiled awkwardly, "I mean no other implication, just curious."
"Menglin and I have been classmates since junior high, I adore her perseverance, she has always been cold to me, but would call me over when needed, and I naively took those summons as signs of affection.
As I fell deeper and deeper, through a series of misunderstandings, we established a relationship, and both sets of parents have met, but she’s been reluctant to get engaged, even less willing to marry, dragging it out till now, she no longer acknowledges our relationship.
After the last time I accompanied my sister to shop for marriage goods, we completely broke up, it’s not that I couldn’t wait, but she wouldn’t give me another chance," Liang Huaping’s lips curled into a bitter smile, "I hope my sister finds happiness and doesn’t get influenced by me, so I’m willing to tell you all this, hoping you won’t transfer your views of Menglin to my sister, who has had a tough journey to get to where she is today!"
