Chapter 175 - We don’t need your fatherly love (1)
It was Zhang Xiying who went upstairs to get the pair of siblings when it was dinner time .
Meng Shanshan, who was still mad at her brother a second ago, gripped her brother’s hand tightly and followed closely behind him . Perhaps, she was intimidated being in a strange environment .
By the time the two of them went downstairs, the other three were already sitting there properly, waiting for them .
At the rectangular table, Meng Yan took the host spot and Zhang Xiying and Zhang Xiruo sat over at his left-hand side . Obviously, the empty spots to his right were reserved for Meng Yuran and Meng Shanshan .
Meng Yuran pursed his lips and sat down with his sister without a word .
The meeting between the father and son did not have the expected affection . The atmosphere was a bit depressed and also very awkward .
“I don’t know what the two of you like to eat, so we ordered a lot of different dishes . ” Zhang Xiying stepped in to elevate the mood . “Take a look to see if there’s anything that you like . ”
Both Meng Yan and Zhang Xiying were very busy normally, and neither one of them could cook . They normally ordered takeout .
Zhang Xiying even looked for a more well-known restaurant purposefully and ordered a table full of food .
The dishes looked appealing and were still steaming . Obviously, they had just been delivered .
To Meng Yuran and Meng Shanshan, who were already used to Lin Yiyi’s cooking, it was like going from delicacies to porridges and simple dishes . Naturally, they were not used to it at all .
Meng Yuran ignored her and took a bite . He frowned almost immediately .
That made both Meng Yan and Zhang Xiying, who had been observing him the entire time, nervous .
Did that mean… He didn’t like it?
Meng Yuran still did not say a word .

Meng Shanshan, sitting next to him, suddenly blurted out, “This is not good at all!”
A kid’s world is very simple . It’s either black or white .
Had they not asked, she might not have said it out loud . But now that they have asked, she didn’t care how awkward it’d be . She would answer the question honestly .
Zhang Xiying’s smile froze immediately . She lowered her head and tried a bite herself .
It really wasn’t that bad, about the same level as any decent restaurant… She wondered whether the two brats were doing this on purpose!
Surprisingly, Meng Yan was much more patient . He even asked the little girl . “What does Shanshan like then? Daddy will get them for you tomorrow, okay?”
Meng Shanshan looked at him, studying him . Even the film emperor didn’t know what to do all of a sudden .
Between him and Meng Shanshan, there sat the expressionless Meng Yuran .

Meng Yan felt that his son was a bit on the cold side, and it also looked like he was very hostile toward him . His daughter, on the other hand, was still young and lively . Very different from his son .
Naturally, he favored Meng Shanshan a bit more .
This time, Meng Shanshan became more docile . She looked at her brother carefully before she said, “I like whatever Big Brother likes . ”
That was a very appropriate and considerate answer .
Meng Yuran, who was still mad at his foolish sister up until a while ago, finally felt a bit pleased .
“No need to bother . We will be going home tomorrow . ”
Meng Yuran squeezed his sister’s hand, turned toward Meng Yan, and said, “I told Mom that we will be going home tomorrow . ”
Meng Yan, who had wanted to keep them over the entire National Holiday week: “……”

He neither agreed nor disagreed . He felt that no matter how or what he said, his son would be very difficult to convince .
The mood over the dinner table was that of a suffocating tension again .
Zhang Xiruo looked over at her older sister and her brother-in-law, then back to the pair of siblings .
Her sister dared not even raised her voice in front of this brother-in-law of hers . She hadn’t expected that this young pair of siblings would talk that way to their elders .
The brother and sister duo ate a little bit of rice and barely touched any other dishes on the table before they excused themselves .
Zhang Xiying could finally let out a breath after the two of them returned to their room .
What was this?
This looked nothing like relationships between father and son or father and daughter .
They might as well be enemies!
