Chapter 257 Friction
Gu Yao came and went in a hurry. In the remaining few days, Xiao Qian went to work in the clothing store as usual. Her aesthetics and work ability made Meng Chen very satisfied. The two of them got closer and basically stayed together every day. He didn't care, but his fiancée was worried.
After work and closing the shop, he returned to Meng's house in a good mood. He saw his girlfriend and mother sitting in the living room. Their expressions changed when they saw him come back.
"You still know how to come back?"
"...Mom, Shanshan, why are you here?" He spoke gently with a warm smile on his face, "Why didn't you tell me? I came back to buy some food."
"Xiaochen, did you do something to offend Shanshan?"
"...Mom, what are you talking about?"
The woman's well-maintained face showed dissatisfaction. She held her forehead and said, "Let Shanshan speak."
"...Achen, did you hire a very beautiful employee in the store?" Liang Shan asked with tears in her eyes and red eyes, aggrieved.
This question left him confused. Meng Chen nodded and said, "I did hire a new person."
"...You admitted it!...Why didn't you tell me about this? How long are you going to keep it a secret from me?!"
Liang Shan yelled and threw herself into Meng's mother's arms, crying. Seeing that they seemed to have misunderstood something, Meng Chen quickly explained: "She and I are fine! Really! It's just a work matter!"
Mother Meng looked at him with dismay: "You're fine, but how do you know if the other person is interested in you?"
"She? ...Mom, how is that possible?"
Meng Chen subconsciously excused the other party, and the words that came out of his mouth surprised himself.
"......Then you fire her!" Liang Shan calmed down and explained her purpose.
"Shanshan, don't lose your temper!" Meng Chen frowned and spoke sternly. Liang Shan looked at him for two seconds without saying anything.
"...She did nothing wrong, and I'm not going to fire someone for no reason."
"Humph, it turns out that vixen has bewitched you, hasn't it?!" Liang Shan snorted coldly, her eyes showing some viciousness. She lowered her head the moment Meng Chen looked over. To outsiders, she lowered her head in grievance.
"...Shanshan..." Meng's mother hugged the other's shoulders distressedly, "How about this, Xiaochen, just find an excuse to get rid of that woman."
"Mom! How come even you can't tell right from wrong? She's a talented person! How can I just find a random excuse to fire her?"
".....What should we do? You two are about to get married, are you going to quarrel over someone who has nothing to do with you?!" Meng's mother said coldly. He was speechless and looked at Liang Shan with complicated eyes.
He couldn't let Liang Shan feel sad because of Xiaoqian, so he finally nodded and reluctantly agreed: "I'll find a time to talk to her."
Liang Shan was finally satisfied with this. A smile appeared on her face, and she approached him in a flattering manner: "Achen, thank you for tolerating my little willfulness!"
"...You are my future wife, this is what I should do."
"I'm sorry, I care about you too much. I'm afraid you'll be hurt by the scar on my face..."
"Don't say that..." Meng Chen touched her head and comforted her as he did before. Only then did she feel relieved. He probably hasn't fallen in love with that little bitch yet. He needs to get rid of her quickly.
Meng's mother watched them get along with satisfaction. Liang Shan was indeed a beauty, but the scar on her face hurt her face. However, she knew Liang's mother, and her father was an officer. She was very satisfied with the background of her daughter-in-law.
Liang Shan looked at Meng Chen's profile and lowered her eyes.
They met in an accident. Liang Shan's figure of giving first aid to the patient left a deep impression on Meng Chen. He parted ways before he had time to get to know her. Until the two families reunited
Meng Chen said that this was fate. He was humorous, handsome and gentle, and Liang Shan was gradually attracted to him and agreed to his pursuit.
She knew that Meng Chen was not as good as Li Wenli in terms of family background, appearance and ability, but he was already her best choice.
After graduation, she did not join the PLA General Hospital, but went to a university to work as a school doctor. She stayed away from all her former classmates and did not want them to see the scars on her face.
Yes, it was that bitch who made her become like this! She asked her mother to take care of the other party in the juvenile detention center, but she didn't let her die there, and she even ran away.
Liang Shan thought bitterly, and her usual gentleness returned to her face when she met Meng Chen's gaze.
"Shanshan, I'm not angry." Meng Chen explained gently, "You have to believe that my heart is with you."
He convinced himself this way, but why did his heart beat so fast when he met Xiaoqian's eyes?
"Brother Chen? Brother Chen?..." Xiao Qian looked at him with eyes wide open, looking pitiful. "Why are you staring at me?"
"Is my clothes not on?"
"No, it's..." Meng Chen smiled, "I think you are more beautiful today."
She tied her hair up today, which made her eyebrows and eyes stand out more.
"Thank you~" She put on a flamboyant smile on her face and sat down beside him. A faint fragrance spread over him. He sat there without moving, letting the other party light a cigarette.
"It's almost time to get off work now. Do you mind smoking a couple of cigarettes?"
"...Do I have this power?" Meng Chen folded his arms and said mischievously. He, as the boss, had the least say.
Xiao Qian smiled coquettishly and chatted with him. He asked about her past and age many times, but she fooled him every time.
She knew best how to deal with men. Angkor had once taught her that men were creatures that needed to be kept in suspense, and it was important to maintain a sense of mystery.
"Well, it's time for you to go home."
After the last "settlement of accounts", Meng Chen now has become more and more reluctant to go back, and the time he spends in the store is gradually increasing. He has also kept the matter of firing the other party to himself.
"Forget it, let's go out for dinner tonight, the boss will treat."
"Really?" Xiaoqian's eyes lit up: "Okay! Thank you, boss~"
