Chapter 65：

When Meng Xing returned home, Meng Shengrong was already waiting in the lobby. When he saw Meng Xing came back, he couldn't help showing a smile on his always serious face: "You're back, didn't Fang Ru come back with you?"

"No, she still has something to do in the laboratory." Meng Xing said, "By the way, Grandpa, are everything ready? The day after tomorrow is going to propose a marriage, and then there must be no mistakes."

Leaning on crutches, Meng Shengrong glared at his grandson: "Your grandfather is so unreliable, and you need to tell me about such a small matter?"

"Of course not, this is the first time for me, I'm a little nervous." Meng Xing said.

Meng Shengrong originally wanted to reprimand his grandson, but he thought that Meng Xing was injured this time, and he really liked that little girl Fang Ru, so he didn't say anything more.

"Everything is ready, put your heart back in your stomach, and there will be no mistakes in the marriage proposal."

After saying this, Meng Shengrong straightened his face: "What are your plans for the future, have you thought about it?"

Meng Shengrong was a little worried. Meng Xing had always been somewhat resistant to the troops. In fact, Meng Shengrong knew that what Meng Xing resisted was not the army, but him.

Because of his son's nonsense, he pinned all his hopes on Meng Xing. He was inevitably too strict with him when he was young, so Meng Xing would always do the opposite of what he decided.

For example, Meng Shengrong did not agree to the matter of going to the countryside to be an educated youth before, but Meng Xing insisted on secretly signing up without telling him, and when he knew, the list had already been handed in.

Meng Shengrong looked at Meng Xing. After the baptism of war, Meng Xing looked more mature and courageous.

Standing in front of Meng Xing like this, Meng Shengrong felt for the first time that he was old and his grandson had grown up. It was no longer possible for him to force him to act on his own terms.

"You have to think about it clearly. For three generations of the Meng family, grandpa is old. Your father is useless. Now you are the only one who can support the Meng family. Grandpa knows that you blame grandpa, but I still hope that what decision you make , should put the interests of the Meng family first."

Meng Xing looked at Meng Shengrong in front of him. Although he tried his best to stand upright, his quilt was still hunched. His originally black and white hair now had much more white hair than black hair.

Looking at the plea in Meng Shengrong's eyes, Meng Xing never realized more clearly than now that his grandfather is really getting old.

The old man who used to be one-sided at home has also begun to soften in front of his grandson.

"Grandpa, I have never blamed you. If it weren't for your careful training these years, I wouldn't be where I am now. I'm ready to stay in the army. I like the simple and passionate military life."

Meng Xing talked about his future plans, yes, those who he thought he hated and wanted to escape, but after experiencing it himself, he realized that the one he wanted to escape the most was actually the one he yearned for the most.

"Okay, good boy." Meng Shengrong's eyes were moist. He raised his wrinkled hand and wiped the corners of his eyes, "You are a good boy."

After all, Meng Shengrong is not suitable for sensationalism. After the short-term emotions passed, he began to help Meng Xing analyze his future.

"You have made a lot of contributions this time. I made some inquiries for you. If you want to stay in Beijing, you can only be promoted to deputy division commander and be awarded the rank of colonel. If you go to the south, you can be promoted to division commander and be awarded the rank of major general."

"Let's stay in Beijing." Meng Xing quickly made a decision. It's just a level, and there will be opportunities in the future, but if he goes to the south, he will be separated from Fang Ru.

During this period of getting along with Fang Ru, he also fully realized that Fang Ru is obsessed with studies and the laboratory, and Fang Ru's major and the direction she wants to study in the future have all been determined. She will definitely take the postgraduate entrance examination in the future. Cobb.

Peking University's biopharmaceutical major is the best among the same majors in universities across the country. It was obviously impossible for Fang Ru to follow him to the south, so he had to stay.

Meng Shengrong nodded: "It's fine to stay in Beijing. Although the level is one level lower, the roots of our Meng family are in Beijing, and our contacts are all in Beijing. Your father can't support the Meng family. If you leave for too long, our family will It was also marginalized by this circle.”

"Well, let's just settle this matter, don't worry. The most important thing now is to go to Fang's family to propose marriage and set the wedding date as soon as possible."

Speaking of this, Meng Shengrong laughed: "No matter how much you were urged before, you were not in a hurry. Now that you have talked to someone, you are actually urged. Okay, grandpa will have someone check the dowry again tomorrow to make sure there will be no mistakes. .”

"Then thank you, Grandpa. I'll go upstairs and put things away first." Meng Xing glanced at the corner of the stairs, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes.

After Meng Xing went upstairs, Meng Shengrong sat on the sofa for a while, then followed him upstairs.

After both of them went upstairs, Zheng Xin came out from the corner of the stairs. She clenched her hands tightly, showing the anger in her heart. Meng Xing actually went to Fang's house to propose marriage? How can this work?

It seems that the plan has to be advanced, Zheng Xin's eyes are decisive.

"Auntie, why did you come here?" Sun Tong was a little surprised, Zheng Xin clearly told her not to come over for a few days, why did she suddenly find him here today.

Zheng Xin's complexion was not good: "The day after tomorrow, Meng Xing is going to Fang's family to propose marriage."

"What? Auntie, that's not what you said before? You said you would let me marry Meng Xing. Now that Meng Xing is going to Fang's house to propose marriage, what do you want me to do?"

Sun Tong became anxious as soon as he heard it. It's fine for Meng Xing to talk to Fang Ru. She can bear it, but how can they get married?

"What are you yelling at me?" Zheng Xin was a little unhappy about Sun Tong's yelling, "How do I usually teach you that yelling can solve problems when you encounter problems?"

"Auntie, don't be angry, I'm always in a hurry." Sun Tong also realized that his attitude made Zheng Xin angry, "Auntie, then tell me, what should we do now?"

Seeing that Zheng Xin was silent, Sun Tong moved closer to Zheng Xin and shook her arm: "Auntie, you are the best, I know you have a way, you must have a way to make me marry Meng Xing, right? "

"Okay, don't shake it anymore, it makes my head dizzy." Zheng Xin squinted at Sun Tong, "I called you here today to tell you that I have an idea and I need your cooperation."

Sun Tong stood up straight and nodded obediently: "Auntie, tell me, I'm listening."

Zheng Xin came to Sun Tong's ear and said a few words, Sun Tong's eyes widened: "No, I can't do this, what if I'm found out? Wouldn't it be embarrassing?"

Zheng Xin folded her arms around her chest, and looked at Sun Tong sideways: "I told you the method, it's up to you to do it or not. You don't even dare to do such a small thing, and you still want to marry Meng Xing? You Don't even look at Fang Ru, whether it's looks or talent, how can you compare to her?"

Sun Tong hesitated: "But, what if Meng Xing still disagrees after I do it? Then I'm done."

Zheng Xin nodded Sun Tong's forehead: "What are you afraid of? Don't you still have your aunt and me? If not, your uncle? You two really have a relationship, and you are still afraid that Meng Xing will not marry you?" you?"

"You have to think about it carefully. If you marry Meng Xing, you don't have to be aggrieved in that small unit. I heard that Meng Xing will stay in the capital when he comes back this time, and he will soon become the deputy teacher. If you marry him, you will be the teacher's wife."

Zheng Xin's voice was very low, but it carried the temptation from hell.

Sun Tong's heart moved: "That's fine, I will listen to you, auntie, I will do what you say. However, you must support me when the time comes."

Zheng Xin smiled: "Don't worry, you are my niece, of course I hope you are well, and your well-being is mine."

Sun Tong looked at Zheng Xin and smiled too.

When eating at night, Meng Xing saw that Sun Tong was there, and remembered that Zheng Xin was hiding behind the stairs in the afternoon, so he secretly took care of it.

"A Xing, this is Sun Tong, your Aunt Zheng's niece, you should have met her. You young people, if you have something to talk about, you can have a chat together." Meng Yi said, "When you were hospitalized, didn't Sun Tong still Served you soup?"

Meng Xing glanced at Sun Tong, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly: "Dad, you are wrong, I already have a partner, I have nothing to talk to other girls. I am a serious person, unlike some people, who are clearly married. Married, still not self-love."

"You..." Meng Yi pointed at Meng Xing with his right hand, "Meng Xing, don't go too far."

Meng Xing snorted lightly and lowered his head to eat.

Zheng Xin tugged at the corner of Meng Yi's clothes: "Old Meng, don't be angry with the child."

Meng Yi took a few deep breaths, and then his mind fell into place. Originally, he thought that Zheng Xin's method was a bit out of line, but seeing Meng Xing like this, Meng Yi nodded towards Zheng Xin.

A gleam of joy flashed in Zheng Xin's eyes.

Mrs. Wang brought out several bowls of soup from the kitchen on a tray, distributed them to everyone at the table, and placed the last bowl in front of Meng Xing.

Meng Xing had been secretly observing Zheng Xin all night, and Zheng Xin hadn't shown anything unusual.

When Mrs. Wang brought the soup, Zheng Xin glanced over.

Meng Xing picked up the soup bowl calmly and made a pose to drink soup, but stared at Zheng Xin from the corner of his eyes.

When his lips were about to touch the soup bowl, Zheng Xin's eyes flashed with joy.

Meng Xing looked at the soup in the bowl and put the bowl on the table. Zheng Xin showed a nervous look on his face.

"Why, this soup doesn't suit your taste?" Meng Yi asked.

"That's not true, it's a little hot, I'll drink it later."

Meng Xing said, from observing Zheng Xin's expression, Meng Xing was almost certain that there was something wrong with this bowl of soup.

And Meng Yi's questioning made Meng Xing confirm this point even more.

Meng Zheng curled his lips aside, his father seemed to be very concerned about Meng Xing today.

Meng Xing picked up the soup bowl again. Although Zheng Xin pretended to concentrate on eating, his eyes kept on watching Meng Xing's movements.

After Meng Xing picked up the soup bowl, he frowned and put the soup bowl down again. Seeing Zheng Xin's emotional ups and downs following his movements, Meng Xing knew that there was no need to try again.

No matter what Zheng Xin's goal is, in short, she can't even think about realizing it.

Meng Xing suddenly covered his chest: "Grandpa, my wound seems to be hurting again."

Meng Shengrong's expression changed, and he quickly asked Mrs. Wang to call the family doctor, Dr. Wu.

After Dr. Wu came over, he examined Meng Xing for a long time before saying, "There is nothing wrong with the heart."

Meng Shengrong said anxiously: "Why don't you go to the hospital for a check-up. There are well-equipped facilities here, and they can better check out what's wrong with your body."

Meng Xing sat up straight: "No need, Grandpa. I was in some pain just now because I tasted a little bit of this bowl of soup. Could it be that there is something in the soup that conflicts with the medicine I'm taking now."

"It's also possible." Dr. Wu said standing aside with his hands behind his back.

When Meng Shengrong heard this, he looked at Mrs. Wang: "Sister-in-law Wang, what did you put in this soup? Didn't I tell you everything that Meng Xing avoids? Why are there things in the soup that shouldn't be there?"

Sister-in-law Wang was stunned for a moment: "I didn't put anything in. This is just a bowl of ordinary fish soup. I just put **** and green onion in it. I can't put these things in, right?"

"Then why does Meng Xing's heart hurt?" Meng Shengrong's face darkened, "Sister-in-law Wang, think carefully, if you put anything else, tell me quickly."

Aunt Wang had a bitter face: "I really didn't put anything in. By the way, I remembered. When I was cooking the soup, Sun Tong came over and said that I put some milk in the soup, but I didn't care."

"Sister-in-law Wang, don't talk nonsense. I didn't put anything in Brother Meng Xing's bowl. You saw it when I put it in. I put it in the pot. If there is any problem, everyone should have a problem." .”

"Besides, what I put in is milk, which nourishes the body, and can also remove the fishy smell of the fish soup." Seeing that Mrs. Wang involved herself, Sun Tong quickly explained.

"It turned out that milk was added, no wonder I think today's fish soup tastes fresher." Meng Zheng said from the side.

"That's right, I really only put in milk. Besides, I have no reason to harm Brother Meng Xing." Sun Tong made a look of aggrieved look at Meng Xing, "Brother Meng Xing, you have to trust me, I will Didn't hurt you."

Meng Xing tapped his hand on the table: "You all said that you did nothing wrong. In this case, Dr. Wu, you can take this bowl of soup to the hospital for examination to see what ingredients are in the soup."

"Okay, wait for me in two hours, and the results will be available." Dr. Wu pushed the glasses on his face.

"Do you need to make such a fuss? Brother, don't you have nothing to do?" Meng Zheng leaned back on the chair with a nonchalant expression on his face.

"What do you mean nothing happened? What are you talking about? That's your brother. It's too late if something happens." Meng Shengrong patted the table, so angry that his beard almost stood up.

"Doctor Wu, just listen to Meng Xing, take this soup back to the hospital for examination, and we will wait for your results here." Meng Shengrong said to Doctor Wu.

"Dad, don't worry. It's not a big deal. If there is nothing in the soup, it will be a joke." Meng Yi stood up.

Meng Shengrong also sensed something was wrong at this moment, Meng Yi was an asshole, and Meng Xing was also his son.

It was clear that something was wrong with Meng Xing, Meng Yi not only didn't care, but seemed to want to help cover it up, Meng Shengrong lowered his eyelids, and began to struggle violently in his heart.

He had already guessed that Meng Xing's bowl of soup should have something to do with Meng Yi, even if he didn't make it, he would know what happened.

Meng Xing was also looking at Meng Shengrong, he wanted to know what choice Meng Shengrong would make this time.

He was grateful to Meng Shengrong for raising him, but he didn't have any resentment in his heart for Meng Shengrong's conniving of Meng Yi.

Dr. Wu stood aside, watching his nose, nose and heart, turning a blind eye to everything in the hall. This is obviously a family affair of the Meng family, and it is not something he can participate in.

There was silence in the hall, but there was a trace of tension in the silence, as if just one lead wire could trigger an uproar.

Meng Shengrong looked at his grandson, Meng Xing's face was calm and unwavering, he looked at Meng Yi again, there was a trace of anxiety in Meng Yi's eyes. Comparing his son and grandson, it is obvious that Meng Xing is much stronger than his father, Meng Yi.

After thinking about the Meng family, Meng Shengrong closed his eyes and let out a long sigh of relief.

When he opened his eyes again, there was already a hint of determination in his eyes. He turned to Dr. Wu and said, "Take this bowl of soup to the hospital for an examination. After the examination, notify me of the result immediately."

After making this decision, Meng Shengrong's back suddenly bowed, his whole body seemed to lose all energy, and his face looked like he would be extremely defeated.

"Dad." Meng Yi looked at Meng Shengrong's eyes in disbelief, "Dad, how could you?"

With tired eyes, Meng Shengrong waved to Dr. Wu: "Doctor Wu, go."

Dr. Wu bent down towards Meng Shengrong, took out the container from his medicine box, and prepared to put away the bowl of soup.

At this time, something happened suddenly, and Zheng Xin suddenly held his stomach and shouted: "Oh, my stomach hurts so much."

The moment she shouted, her body fell onto the dining table, and one arm swung forward, and she was about to touch the bowl of soup in front of Meng Xing.

Suddenly, a hand picked up the bowl of soup, and the owner of the hand jumped back, avoiding Zheng Xin's waving arm.

After Meng Xing stood still, the soup in his hand did not spill at all. He looked at Zheng Xin and sneered, "Why, do you want to destroy the evidence?"

Zheng Xin was lying on the table with a pale face, covering her stomach, her voice was weak: "What are you talking about, I just have a sudden stomachache, how could you destroy any evidence?"

Meng Xing ignored her and handed the bowl to Dr. Wu: "Doctor Wu, please."

Doctor Wu nodded, and after storing some soup in a container, he left Meng's house with a medical kit.

Seeing Dr. Wu leave, Zheng Xin's face turned even paler. She lay motionless on the table, as if she was dead.

Meng Yi approached Zheng Xin: "Zheng Xin, are you okay?"

Zheng Xin raised his head and looked at Meng Yi with grievance on his face: "Old Meng, my stomach hurts so much, am I dying? I don't want to die, I want to spend my whole life with you well."

"Don't talk nonsense, I'll take you to the hospital right now, you'll be fine." Meng Yi was about to help Zheng Xin up, and Sun Tong and Meng Zheng also walked over.

Meng Xing watched the actions of several people with cold eyes, and snorted: "No one should leave this house until the result comes out."

Meng Yi's footsteps stopped, his face was full of anger, and he yelled at Meng Xing: "Meng Xing, you are too much. You unfilial son, don't you see how your Aunt Zheng is hurting? You won't let We leave here, do you want her to die?"

Meng Xing sneered: "Does she really have a stomachache? Dad, I'm your son, so you don't want to know who wants to harm your son?"

"Why don't I want to know? But I will send you Aunt Zheng to the hospital first, and then come back to wait for your results. Isn't it the same? Don't block the way here. Your Aunt Zheng is already in pain. I have to send you to the hospital quickly." She's going to the hospital."

Meng Xing looked at Meng Shengrong: "Grandpa, do you think I should send them to the hospital?"

Meng Shengrong trembled with anger when he looked at his son who was not up to date, and that Zheng Xin who was pretending.

At this time, Meng Yi didn't want to make up for the relationship with Meng Xing, but only wanted to escape.

Meng Shengrong tapped the floor with his crutches: "That's enough, stop pretending. You tell yourself what kind of medicine you put in Meng Xing's bowl."

Zheng Xin was still clutching his stomach and complaining of pain, Meng Yi didn't say anything, Sun Tong stood aside with his head down, wondering what he was thinking.

Meng Zheng, on the other hand, looked at his mother, then at Meng Xing, and suddenly said, "Mom, did you really drug my brother? What kind of drug did you prescribe? It couldn't be that kind of drug, right?"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Sun Tong again: "Sister-in-law Wang just said that you went to the kitchen, did you give the medicine? Do you want to marry my brother? My brother doesn't want to, so you just think about taking that kind of medicine, so raw rice cooked rice?"

Sun Tong raised his head suddenly, staring at Meng Zheng fiercely: "Cousin, what nonsense are you talking about? How could I drug your brother?"

Meng Zheng rubbed Sun Tong's shoulder, and winked at her: "Don't be like this, there are good things to share with you, where did your medicine come from?"

"I've said it all. I didn't drug your brother. Don't bother me anymore."

Sun Tong's face was flushed with anger. Although Meng Zheng usually has no brains, he never demolished her like this. When he said this, he didn't make it clear that he did it himself.

"I said Sun Tong, you are not mean enough. I think I am still good to you as a cousin. My mother treats you so well, sometimes better than my own son. I didn't say anything. Just ask Why don't you tell me something like this?"

"Asshole!"

Seeing Meng Zheng like this, Meng Shengrong was so angry that he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood. This is Meng Yi's beloved son. On such an occasion, he could still say such words without realizing the seriousness of the matter.

"Grandpa, don't be angry. I'm just curious. I've only heard of that kind of medicine, but I've never seen it. I didn't expect my mother and cousin to be quite capable. Where did they buy it?" Meng Meng Zheng looked curious.

Zheng Xin clutched her stomach and buried her head in Meng Yi's arms, almost dying of anger from her own son.

How could she give birth to such a son? She stretched out her hand and pinched Meng Yi. Meng Yi understood and stared at Meng Zheng: "Ah Zheng, what nonsense are you talking about? What kind of medicine? Why did your mother drug your brother? You Don't make trouble here, don't you usually go out to play early at this time, hurry up, don't stay at home and get in the way."

Meng Zheng was not happy to be scolded by his father like this: "Dad, what's the matter with you? You usually criticize me when I go out, but you criticize me again if I don't go out today. What do you think of me?"

Meng Yi was also stunned by the indiscriminate son's anger: "Just get out of here quickly, and don't let me see you."

Meng Xing looked at Meng Yi from the side, and sneered in his heart, this is your beloved son, and this is the son you think is a hundred times better than me. Now, how does it feel to be poked in the heart by your beloved son?

At this moment, Meng Xing felt a little grateful for Meng Yi and Zheng Xin's love for Meng Zheng. If it weren't for the two people's doting on Meng Zheng, how could Meng Zheng grow up to be what he is now.

Meng Shengrong also got a headache from Meng Zheng's rambunctious appearance, he waved his hand: "Ah Zheng, it's none of your business here, you can go out and play."

Seeing that both his grandfather and father let him go out, Meng Zheng had no choice but to nod.

But before he left, he leaned in front of Sun Tong and said in a low voice, "It doesn't matter if you don't say it now. When we are alone together someday, you tell me where you bought the medicine. I want to buy two too." Give it a try."

Although he said this in a low voice, Sun Tong was standing next to Zheng Xin, and Zheng Xin still heard it. She endured and endured, but she still couldn't hold back, turned around and shouted at Meng Zheng: "Get lost!"

Meng Zheng curled his lips: "Get out, get out, what are you doing with such a big temper?"

Zheng Xin was about to be stunned by her son, why did she give birth to such a pig-like son.

"Aren't you going to tell the truth?" Meng Shengrong looked at Meng Yi and Zheng Xin, "Don't tell me now, when the test results come out, I won't be as easy to talk as I am now."

Meng Yi lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking. After a while, he raised his head and was about to say something, but was grabbed by Zheng Xin who was lying in his arms.

Meng Yi lowered his head and saw Zheng Xin shaking his head at him.

The determination Meng Yi had just made was shaken again. He raised his head and looked at his father: "Dad, what are you talking about? This matter has nothing to do with us. Maybe Meng Xing offended someone in the south before someone Drugged her."

Seeing his son like this, Meng Shengrong was completely disappointed. This son is really hopeless.

Being manipulated by a woman like Zheng Xin, he really regretted that he shouldn't have looked at the child in Zheng Xin's belly and let her go. Now, it's too late to say anything.

"Okay, very good, since you refuse to say it, don't blame me for being ruthless when the result comes out."

Hearing Meng Shengrong's words, Meng Yi felt a little shaken, but was stopped by Zheng Xin: "If we don't admit it, father will have nothing to do with us? But if we admit it, this matter will be difficult to handle."

When Meng Yi thought about it, he was right. He was his father's son, and his father was angry, but he just scolded him, hit him a few times at most, what else could he do? He just shut up and waited quietly for the result.

Meng Xing looked at Meng Yi like this, and a sneer flashed in his eyes, how could such a person be worthy of his mother.

Meng Shengrong also saw that his son was completely useless. He sighed, ignored Meng Yi, and waved to Meng Xing: "Xing, help me sit over there."

Meng Xing walked over and took charge of Meng Shengrong to sit down on the sofa.

"Are you all right?" Meng Shengrong asked.

"It's okay." Meng Xing said.

"It's fine."

Meng Shengrong nodded. In fact, he also knew that although Zheng Xin plotted against Meng Xing in today's matter, Meng Xing also plotted against Zheng Xin. He said that the chest pain was just to attract Dr. Wu to check it. That bowl of soup.

Meng Shengrong sighed, Meng Xing's wings became harder and harder, he began to investigate Meng Yi's mistakes, and he was too old to protect his son. What's more, the future of the Meng family depends on Meng Xing, so he can't be too cold-hearted about Meng Xing.

However, what should be mentioned is still to be mentioned: "I did what you wanted today, and you should be punished for your mistakes, but Meng Zheng is a bit stupid, but he didn't do anything to apologize to you. I hope you will be in charge of the Meng family in the future, and don't blame him for the mistakes of the previous generation."

Meng Xing smiled: "Grandpa, what are you thinking? Don't worry, I won't implicate innocent people."

"That's good." Meng Shengrong nodded.

"Ring ring ring", the phone in the lobby rang, and everyone looked in the direction of the phone.

Meng Shengrong froze, he didn't even want to receive this call, but what should come will still come.

Meng Shengrong stood up trembling.

"Grandpa, I'll help you." Meng Xing wanted to help Meng Shengrong's arm, but he pushed it away.

Leaning on crutches, Meng Shengrong walked towards the phone step by step. His steps were heavy and slow, and each step was like walking on a sharp knife.

Every step he took, his heart ached a little, but he had no choice but to move forward.

After answering the phone, Meng Shengrong held the phone for a long time without moving. He didn't recover until the microphone slipped from his hand.

He walked back slowly and stood in front of Meng Yi without saying a word.

Meng Yi looked at Meng Shengrong's expressionless face and was a little scared. He swallowed his saliva and his voice was a little hoarse: "Dad, what did you say on the phone?"

Meng Shengrong raised his hand and slapped Meng Yi on the face: "What did you say on the phone? Don't you know better than me?"
