Chapter 322: Meng Shen in Her Memory
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
That was the period of time that Jiang An had in her childhood. It was also Meng Shen who taught her to live uprightly. One day, her life would become better.
Meng Shen knew that she would sometimes be punished by being made to starve, so he brought a lot of snacks over and asked her to hide them.
Meng Shen could teach her some homework that she didn’t understand. Compared to the Tan family, he was more like her family.
Meng Shen’s health was not good. He was so tall that he was almost as thin as a skeleton, so she did not tell him the truth. She only said that her parents were biased towards her sister.
Meng Shen also explained his predicament. After his mother passed away, his father hated him and left him here without a care. He did not even come to take a look when he was sick.
The two of them were in the same predicament and saw each other’s daily meetings as the only warmth. However, Meng Shen’s illness was getting worse and worse, and his mental state was visibly worsening.
Jiang An persuaded him to go to the hospital for treatment. Meng Shen smiled and said, “The hospital can’t treat my illness. If I don’t come to see you one day, it means I’m gone.”
This was the first time Jiang An had faced the question of life and death. She cried for a long time out of fear.
She didn’t want Meng Shen to die. He was such a good person. Why did he have to die?
After Jiang An asked this question, Meng Shen smiled. “Life and death are the most unreasonable things in the world. If I could, I would want to live too. 1 want to take you away from your current predicament, but I don’t have much time left. You have to stay strong and live on. Help me see the flourishing flowers in this world.”
Meng Shen had accompanied her for a long time that day. Jiang An swore that she would work hard to survive.
Not long after that, Meng Shen disappeared. Jiang An knew that she had already left this world. Every night, she would cry for her Dear Brother. When Tan Si discovered her, she beat her up. This was because during that period of time, the Tan family’s business was not good, and they thought that it was because Jiang An cried every day.
However, Meng Shen had always been in Jiang An’s heart. She would always remember the warmth that her Dear Brother had given her. She had to grow into someone like him.
Jiang An had already accepted Meng Shen’s departure. This was the first time she had heard this name from someone else.
“You know him?” Jiang An’s tone began to tremble.
Zhao Lan took two steps forward and leaned out. She whispered in Jiang An’s ear, “Of course I know him. I’m very close to him.”
“He mentioned me to you?” Jiang An didn’t ask the second half of her question.
Zhao Lan smiled. “He didn’t just mention it. He misses you every day. I’m really curious about what kind of person can make him worry for so long, so I came to look for Miss Jiang.”
Jiang An understood the meaning behind her words and looked at her in disbelief. “Are you saying that he’s still alive?”
“Of course he’s alive. He just woke up some time ago. The first thing he wanted to do was to look for you.” Zhao Lan’s expression turned a little ugly. “If it weren’t for the fact that family matters really didn’t allow it, he would have gone to Sea City long ago.”
Jiang An almost cried. She did not expect Meng Shen to still be alive. This was great news for her.
Although Jiang Huai didn’t know who this person was, he understood the importance of this person from her reaction. He comforted her. “It’s good news that he’s still alive. You should be happy and stop crying.”
Jiang An stopped crying and asked, “Miss Zhao, I wonder if you can tell Brother Meng Shen that I want to see him.”
Zhao Lan revealed a very faint smile. “You two will meet again sooner or later.”
With that, she turned around and left. Jiang An wanted to chase after her but was stopped. Jiang Huai said, “I remember now. There’s a young lady from the Zhao family in Jingdu City called Zhao Lan. If she’s unwilling to say it, it’s useless even if you chase after her.”
“But 1 want to see Brother Meng Shen.” Jiang An was a little anxious.
Jiang Huai comforted her. “It’s alright. She said that Meng Shen has already woken up and will look for you again. You will definitely meet again.”
Hearing Jiang Huai’s words, Jiang An temporarily put this matter aside and completed today’s filming in peace.
After returning to the hotel, Zou Bai asked, “Zhao Lan went to your set?”
“Yes.” Jiang An nodded in confusion. “How did you know?”
After saying that, she realized something and turned to look at Penguin. Zou Bai smiled. “She didn’t tell me. The Zou Family’s Intelligence Network has been paying attention to the movements of the other three families. I will definitely know that Zhao Lan came to Lin City.”
“Then do you know what kind of person she is?” Jiang An asked.
Zou Bai was a little confused. “Why would you ask such a question?”
Jiang An thought for a moment and said, “Because she knows someone I’d really like to meet, so 1 want to know..”
