Chapter 1360: Very Rational and Decisive

…

In two days' time, it was the day when Minghan and Mingwei were going to register at the university. After breakfast, Jiang Li directly called the children in the family to get in the car and took them to the mall for shopping.

"Mom, I'm studying at National University, and I don't have time to wear regular clothes on campus. Besides, you've bought me a lot of clothes in the past two years, and some of them are not even upper body yet, so you don't need to buy them for me today."

Knowing what their mother was going to do with them, Minghan directly expressed her thoughts.

"You can't wear regular clothes on campus. Don't you think you can wear them when you go out on weekends or when you go home during the holidays? As for the clothes you mentioned but not tops, those were bought before. Now that you are about to enter the university, buy one or two new clothes. I think this is a ritual and quite necessary.”

Jiang Li held the steering wheel, looked forward, curved her lips slightly, and said, "Not only are I buying it for you, Xiao En is also indispensable. When I get to the mall later, I will only pick out what you like, and you can't refuse. "

"Thank you, Mom!" Mingrui smiled and nodded, without saying a word of rejection.

Minghan felt that this eldest brother was really cunning. He was obviously the second most serious step-father in the family, but he still knew how to be a good mother and a great lord, hum! Scheming boy!

"I like the new clothes my mother bought me the most!"

This is Mingwei's voice.

Guoguo smiled and echoed in a childish voice: "Me too!"

"I will wear whatever mom buys!" Tangyuan said with a smile.

Tuanzi: "Thank you, mom!"

Minghan had a sad face: "I feel isolated, so miserable!"

Immediately, there was a burst of laughter in the car.

Since school is about to start, there are obviously more people in the mall than usual.

Women's clothing area on the second floor.

Song Xiaoran accidentally saw Jiang Li and his entourage walking over, and she was so happy that she shouted out: "Aunt Jiang! Weiwei!"

Hearing Song Xiaoran's voice, Ming Wei was the first to look over, waved, and walked over with Jiang Li and Mingrui.

Wu Yuegang had just bought a dress and a set of seasonal clothes for her daughter. When she saw Jiang Li, she smiled and asked, "Just arrived?"

Hearing this, Jiang Li pointed to the shopping bag Ming Rui Minghan was carrying, and she said, "It's been a while."

All the clothes for Brother Mingrui have been bought, leaving only the outfits for Mingwei and Guoguo.

"What do you think of this skirt? If your Weiwei likes it, buy her one too."

Unfolding the dress she bought for her daughter, Wu Yue recommended it to Jiang Li.

Unexpectedly, before Jiang Li could say anything, Ming Wei shook her head: "I like that suspender suit."

A pure white shirt, embellished with simple lace, paired with black overalls, so simple that Ming Wei felt refreshed and comfortable.

Jiang Li had no objection. She nodded with a smile in her eyes: "Okay, I'll buy you that outfit and see, which one do you like?"

Hearing what Jiang Li said, Ming Wei naturally stopped being pretentious and picked out a mid-length windbreaker, and then didn't take a fancy to anything else.

Seeing that Mingwei had already made her choice, Guoguo quickly chose the clothes she liked. Then, she said, "Mom, can my sister and I help you find the clothes?"

"No, mom's clothes are all over the cabinet. Last week, your grandpa brought several sets of clothes to mom. Have you forgotten?"

Jiang Boya really treats Jiang Li as a little princess and dotes on her. Even though this daughter is now thirty-two-three, in Jiang Boya's eyes, Jiang Li is just a little girl who has not grown up. When she sees beautiful clothes or skirts, Bags, cosmetics, etc. will all be bought to Jiang Li.

Trying to make up for his love for Jiang Li.

"No."

Guoguo shook his head.

Jiang Li smiled: "Since I haven't forgotten it, does mom still need to buy it?"

Guoguo was silent.

"Okay, mom, go pay."

Jiang Li said, took out his wallet, took the receipt issued by the salesperson, and went to the cashier window to settle the bill.

"Weiwei, are you going to hug me tomorrow?"

Song Xiaoran stood next to Ming Wei, and she asked in a low voice.

"The day after tomorrow. Tomorrow my mother will send my second brother to National University."

Mingwei responded.

Song Xiaoran's eyes were full of smiles: "Me too, the day after tomorrow. What time do you plan to leave so that we can meet at the school gate."

Mingwei: "Around nine o'clock."

"Then we have agreed to see you there then."

Song Xiaoran held Minghan's arm and said happily: "We will be classmates again!"

"Um."

Mingwei also smiled happily.

Except for not attending the same school for three years in high school, Song Xiaoran and Minghan both went to school. Now they are about to enter university. They are both freshmen at Beicheng Film Academy and are both studying acting. They are worthy of being good friends. Good sisters.

Maybe we can be partners at work in the future.

As for whether the two's acting styles will conflict, in terms of appearance, it probably won't.

Ming Wei's facial features are beautiful and majestic, and she looks particularly sassy. She probably has the style of a royal sister.

And Song Xiaoran has a delicate appearance and a baby face, so she is probably the sweet type when she joins the circle.

"Tell you something."

Suddenly, Song Xiaoran looked mysterious.

"What?"

Mingwei was curious.

Song Xiaoran's eyes were bright and she lowered her voice and said, "I met you, Xiao Tong, half a month ago. She said that Shen Shenqing was going to return to our country to develop, and she also said that Shen Shenqing had finished college abroad."

"Ji'an?" Mingwei was startled and said, "So sudden?"

"Yes, it's Ji'an, but why don't you call him by his first name?"

Song Xiaoran nodded, and then there was a hint of doubt in his eyes.

"We used to live in the same compound. When I was young, I got used to calling him Ji'an, so I never thought of changing my name."

Ming Wei said, looking at Song Xiaoran thoughtfully: "When you mentioned Shen Shenqing, I felt that you were in a very happy mood. Do you like him?"

Hearing this, Song Xiaoran blushed: "What did you say?!"

Eyeing Mingwei angrily, she said, "We haven't seen each other for more than six years. Why do I like her so much? Besides, before Shen Shenqing was brought back to China by his father, we were all still primary school students!"

"When you were in elementary school, you liked to watch Shen Shenqing the most. Besides you, Han Qian also paid special attention to Shen Shenqing. As soon as you two got out of class, you only had your eyes glued to her, and I saw it all. inside."

Ming Wei said, her eyes gradually becoming complicated: "I didn't expect that this little girl like you is quite affectionate."

Song Xiaoran was not annoyed by being teased, but was embarrassed: "He looks like a doll, but I just looked at it twice, and you misunderstood me. Weiwei, were you so mature in elementary school?"

Song Xiaoran teased Ming Wei meaningfully.

"I'm just good at observation. Besides, I'm precocious, not mature."

Mingwei was serious.

"You are so eloquent that I am no match for you."

As Song Xiaoran said, she asked: "Do you have a boy you like?"

"Not yet."

Mingwei shook her head, and then said: "Xiaoran, if you really like Shen Shenqing, I advise you to be more cautious. After all, he and our mother have been separated for more than six years, and you and I don't know what he has become now.

Besides, people abroad are more precocious, so maybe Shen Shenqing already has a girlfriend. "

"How come you think I like Shen Shenqing?"

Song Xiaoran endured his discomfort and said, "I really looked at him a few more times just because he looked like a doll."

"I am originally a foreigner, well, I can be considered half a foreigner..."

Before Ming Wei finished speaking, she heard Song Xiaoran's laughter: "What do you mean by half-foreigner? Shen Shenqing means half-race."

"I know. But can you say he's not half-foreign?"

Mingwei's face was expressionless: "My father is a foreigner and my mother is from our country. I said he is half-foreign. There is nothing wrong with that."

"Yes, yes, you are right!"

Song Xiaoran smiled.

"Let's go, let's have a meal with your Aunt Jiang and the others before going home."

After going to the cashier to pay with Jiang Li, Wu Yue came over and spoke to Song Xiaoran.

"OK."

Song Xiaoran responded.

The group of people walked out of the mall, Jiang Li treated them to a treat, and had lunch at a restaurant with good decoration, environment, and hygiene, and then the two families separated.

"Let's go to the cashier window with Aunt Wu to check out. What are you and Song Xiaoran talking about standing together? I think you two are mysterious."

On the way home, Minghan suddenly asked Mingwei this question.

"Second brother, do you care about girls chatting?"

Mingwei didn't answer, but looked at Minghan meaningfully.

"You guys are whispering there and your expressions are changing. I'm just asking casually."

Minghan was not embarrassed at all: "I don't think you are talking about anything good."

"We are talking about girls, why can't we talk about good things?"

Mingwei was dissatisfied: "Or...Second brother, you are actually interested in Xiaoran. What do you want to know from me?"

"Are you mistaken? Am I interested in Song Xiaoran?" Minghan looked like he had seen a ghost: "Song Xiaoran is not the type of girl I like."

Mingwei rolled her eyes and asked, "What kind of girl does this guy like?"

Minghan raised his eyebrows: "Do you think I will tell you?"

"When you two are older, just talk about what you like or don't like, and focus on studying. It's better than anything else."

Mingrui suddenly said something.

"Brother, second brother and I don't like either one."

Mingwei glanced at Mingrui.

"If there is something, change it; if there is nothing, encourage it."

Mingrui was driving, so he responded casually.

Jiang Li hugged Guoguo, sat with Tuanzi Tangyuan, and Mingwei in the back seat. She raised the corners of her lips to listen to the conversation between her children and did not choose to interrupt.

"Brother, you are going to be a junior in college soon. Haven't you found a girlfriend yet?"

Minghan was sitting in the passenger seat, he looked at Mingrui and asked with a smile.

"Do not have time."

Mingrui answered simply.

"Second brother, I can tell you what Xiaoran and I talked about. Do you want to hear it?"

Mingwei asked Minghan.

"If you want to say something, of course I'm all ears."

Minghan turned around and waited for Mingwei to speak.

"Actually, it's not a big deal. It's just that Shen Shenqing wants to return to our country for development."

Hearing the name "Shen Shenqing" from Ming Wei's mouth, Jiang Li undoubtedly thought of Shen Yun.

However, there was nothing strange about her expression.

Minghan: "Is that the little mute Jian?!"

"Second brother, can you be polite? Why is Shen Shenqing so mute? It's just like our eldest brother and Tuanzi, who don't like to talk much on weekdays."

Mingwei didn't like giving nicknames to her classmates, not to mention that Shen Shenqing was the son of Guo Guogan's father and was related to her family!

"Second brother, brother Ji'an is very good!"

Although Guoguo has never met Shen Shenqing in person, she has seen photos, and every time Austin, the godfather, calls the domestic portrait, he will ask his son Ji'an (Shen Shenqing) to say a few words to Guoguo.

The euphemistic name is to cultivate the relationship between brother and sister.

…

Returning to the courtyard, before Jiang Liniang and others got out of the car, they saw Xiao Tong sitting on a bamboo chair under the eaves.

"I will definitely come to find you."

Minghan said to Mingwei.

"If you're not looking for me, why are you looking for you?" Ming Wei responded in a nonchalant manner, then opened the car door and looked at Xiao Tong with a smile: "When did you come here?"

"Just arrived a while ago."

Xiao Tong was sitting under the eaves chatting with Cai Xiufang. When she heard Mingwei's voice, she stood up and said with a smile, "Ji'an is with me."

"Why didn't you see anyone?"

Not seeing Ji'an in the yard, Mingwei couldn't help but ask Xiao Tong.

"Going to the bathroom."

Just as Xiao Tong was talking, he saw someone from Ji'an had appeared.

"Hello Aunt Jiang."

Ji'an followed Xiao Tong and said hello to Jiang Li, and then said hello to Mingrui Minghan and Tuanzi glutinous rice balls. Then he turned his eyes to Guoguo, a pair of blue eyes gradually filled with smile, and asked Guoguo in proficient Chinese. :"Do you know who I am?"

"Brother Ji'an!"

Guoguo smiled and said, "I can recognize brother Ji'an's voice, and we have a photo of brother Ji'an at home."

Ji'an smiled and opened his hands towards Guoguo. The next moment, Guoguo flew over and was picked up by Ji'an.

"sit."

Mingwei greeted Xiao Tong to sit back on the bamboo chair. She asked, "When did Ji'an come back?"

"Three days ago."

Xiao Tong said: "The next day after I got home, I went to the set to discuss work with the agreed-upon crew, and then her grandparents called her home. As soon as she has time, she asked me to bring him over to visit Aunt Jiang and you."

"Jian really has to become an actor?"

Mingwei had heard Xiao Tong mention it before, but she couldn't help but confirm it again.

"He studied directing and took acting as an elective. Maybe he didn't have a good book at the moment, so he wanted to be an actor for two years to gain more experience on the set."

Hearing what Xiao Tong said, Ming Wei looked at her and thought deeply, then whispered to Xiao Tong: "You want to learn from the director, right?"

Xiao Tong was startled for a moment, then nodded.

Ming Wei: "In that case, why did he choose to go far away? In their country, there are many well-known directors and actors, and their family runs an entertainment company. Is it necessary to go to our country?"

"Jian has the nationality of our country."

Xiao Tong said: "As for why he had to return to China to develop, I didn't ask, but it should be because he likes it!"

"That's the only way to explain it!"

Mingwei said, and saw that Shen Shenqing seemed to be looking at her, but as soon as he caught her gaze, the other person's eyes quickly moved away, which made Mingwei feel strange.

"What's wrong?"

Xiao Tong noticed that Ming Wei frowned slightly and couldn't help but ask.

"Jian seemed to be looking at me, but when I looked at him, his eyes quickly shifted, as if what I thought was just my illusion!"

Mingwei tilted her head, feeling quite confused.

"Maybe Ji'an likes you!"

Xiao Tong said with a smile.

Mingwei smiled and waved her hands: "Don't talk nonsense! We have known each other since we were young. How many words can I say to Ji'an Tongtong and me? Anyway, in my impression, he will always stand behind you, and he has shown that silence is golden. Extreme.”

"But he is an actor now. Do you feel conflicted?"

Xiao Tong chuckled.

"A bit. He obviously doesn't like to talk and laugh, but he became an actor. I'm very curious about how he acts."

Mingwei's eyes were full of interest.

Xiao Tong: "Then let me tell you something that will surprise you even more. Ji'an won the Best Actor Award for his first film abroad!"

Mingwei's eyes widened: "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure, sure, how could I lie to you about something like this?"

Xiao Tong said: "Maybe it's called talent!"

Shen Shenqing played with Guoguo and Tangyuan for a while, and then he and Minghan stood chatting together.

However, Minghan basically said that he was listening, nodded occasionally, and answered one or two sentences, concisely and to the point.

"When are you going to report?"

"The day after tomorrow at noon."

"Me too."

"You like being a teacher?"

"I think being a teacher has winter and summer vacations, but I also prefer the teaching profession."

Xiao Tong was admitted to Beicheng Normal University.

"You have a good temper and are well suited to the profession of teacher."

Ming Wei said with a smile on her face: "If it were me, I'm afraid the students would easily make me mad to death."

"You have a good temper too."

Xiao Tong and Mingwei chatted for about twenty or thirty minutes. When they saw Mingrui was about to leave the hospital, they couldn't help but get up: "I have a few words to say to Brother Mingrui."

Before Ming Wei could respond, she chased after Mingrui.

Mingwei thought it was strange, but didn't think much about it.

Outside the courtyard gate, Mingrui was stopped by Xiao Tong, and he looked towards him in confusion.

"..."

Standing still in front of him, Xiao Tong summoned up the courage to speak: "Brother Mingrui, do you have a girlfriend?"

"..."

Mingrui was stunned.

I don’t understand what Xiao Tong means.

Who knows, before he said anything, Xiao Tong closed his eyes and continued: "If not, I wonder if I can be your girlfriend? Brother Mingrui, I... I like you!"

Mingrui changed his face immediately after Xiao Tong's voice: "Do you know what you are talking about?"

Slowly opening her eyes, Xiao Tong found that Mingrui's face was very ugly. She felt puzzled and said, "Of course I know what I am talking about. I just don't know what you are thinking about now, brother Mingrui."

At this moment, Xiao Tong was nervous, but he was looking forward to Mingrui's answer.

"Xiao Tong, it's impossible between you and me."

Mingrui looked indifferent.

"Why?"

Xiao Tong was a little hurt.

Mingrui: "I have no interest in you, so you'd better not waste your time on me?"

Xiao Tong's eyes couldn't help but turn red when she heard this: "Do you hate me?"

"It has nothing to do with whether you like me or not. There will never be a chance between you and me!"

Hearing Mingrui's words, Xiao Tong's eyes sparkled with tears: "But I like you very much, Brother Mingrui. I am also a college student now, and we are from the same compound. When we were young..."

"No need to say more. As for what you said before, I just pretended not to hear it. You can forget it yourself."

As he said, Mingrui turned and walked forward.

But he stopped after taking two steps and looked back at Xiao Tong: "You can ask Uncle Xiao, ask him if you and I are suitable."

Anyway, Xiao Tong and he are half-siblings. If they don't know the reason, they may get stuck in a dead end.

Standing in place, Xiao Tong watched Mingrui walk away. This was the first time she was moved since she grew up, especially when she thought about that evening. If she hadn't met Luo Mingrui, a brother from the same compound, her life would have been ruined.

But his appearance saved her in time. At that moment, she felt like he was holding her at the edge of a cliff, which prevented her from falling into the abyss.

Therefore, she was deeply moved and knew that he was injured and hospitalized to save him.

Unconsciously, this feeling became strange. When she realized that she was moved and liked him, she thought about studying hard and confessing to him after she was admitted to university.

If he agreed, it would be great.

If he refused, she would not pester him.

But what is impossible? What does it mean that there is no possibility between him and her forever?

She felt so uncomfortable, but Xiao Tong didn't want to be noticed. She wiped the tears from her face, stood there for a long time, and turned back to the yard after her emotions calmed down.

"You're going back now? Don't you want to play for a while?"

"No, we'll meet again some other day."

After saying goodbye to Mingwei, Xiaotong greeted Shen Siqing (Jian), and said goodbye to Jiang Li, Cai Xiufang, Minghan, and Tuanzi, and left in the car.

The car was bought by the Shen family before Ji'an returned to China, so that Shen Siqing could work outside.

"Mom..."

Jian drove Xiaotong away, and Mingwei called Jiang Li softly when she saw Minghan and Tuanzi enter the courtyard.

"Did something happen?"

Jiang Li and Mingwei stood at the gate of the courtyard, and she looked gentle: "Tell me."

"Tongtong seemed to have cried."

Mingwei expressed her doubts.

"You two sat under the eaves and chatted, why did she Crying, don't you know?"

Jiang Li also felt strange. How could the little girl's eyes turn into rabbit eyes?

"Tongtong chased my elder brother to the outside of the yard. She was fine at that time, but when she returned to the yard, I saw that her eyes were obviously crying."

As she said this, Mingwei suddenly thought of something, and then her eyes widened: "No way?"

"What did you think of?"

Jiang Li raised his eyebrows.

"Could it be... Could it be that Tongtong likes my elder brother, but my elder brother knows the relationship between Tongtong and him, so he rejected it mercilessly, and Tongtong couldn't accept this blow, so..."

Mingwei hadn't finished speaking yet, at this time, Jiang Li raised his chin: "Your elder brother is back If you want to know what to ask, just ask your brother and it will be clear. "

"..."

Mingrui held a bottle of ink in his hand, which he had just bought from a nearby store. Seeing Jiang Li and Ming Wei staring at him, he was a little confused for a moment.

"Brother, does Tongtong like you? But you rejected her, right?"

Mingwei went straight to the point.

Mingrui looked normal: "Is there something wrong with her?"

Mingwei: "Tongtong and Ji'an went back. Before leaving, she cried."

Jiang Li said nothing.

"Yes, it's what you said."

Mingrui said calmly: "In order to prevent her from getting stuck in a dead end, I even suggested that she go home and ask Uncle Xiao for the reason."

"Go home, what are you still standing here for?"

Jiang Li walked into the courtyard and called Mingrui and Mingwei to follow.

"Mom, do you think I handled it properly?"

Mingrui asked Jiang Li.

Mingwei walked into the courtyard silently. She had nothing to say at this time.

"Very rational and decisive, very good."

Jiang Li smiled and said: "It's better to have a short pain than a long pain. It's a strong medicine. She is uncomfortable now, but everything will be fine after she thinks it through."

She didn't want her children to have a bloody incident.

Just like what was shown on TV, two young men and women went through all kinds of hardships and finally got married, but they were told by their families: Children, you are blood-related siblings, you can't be together!
