Chapter 284 Dollars

On July 25, Tan Xiaotian declined Lee Yeon-hee's company and flew alone from New York to the San Francisco Bay Area, California, on the excuse that he wanted to visit his classmates there, but Lee Yeon-hee was tactful and did not continue asking questions.

After the plane landed, Tan Xiaotian took the taxi directly and handed the driver a piece of paper. After seeing the address written on the paper, the driver nodded, stepped on the accelerator, and drove towards Palo Alto City, the southern Bay Area.

In a community near Stanford University, a typical American two-story bungalow has a middle-aged Chinese woman watering the lawn in the yard.

A taxi was parked in front of the villa. As soon as the car door opened, Tan Xiaotian pushed open the car door and walked down.

The Chinese woman straightened her waist and looked at each other with Tan Xiaotian.

Tan Xiaotian smiled and greeted him in Chinese, "Hello, madam, is this Professor Mu Liangyun's home?"

"Yes."

The Chinese woman showed a puzzled expression, "Young man, who are you?"

Tan Xiaotian bowed, "You are Aunt Bai! Senior Sister Wen always mentioned you in the email, I am Dang Aiqun from Donghai University. This time I came to the United States to work hard and have a look at senior sister."

Bai Lihua hurriedly turned off the water pipe, "Xiao Dang, hurry into the house, Wen Chen is going to class, I will call her and ask her to come back."

"No, no, I can't wait anymore. This is a little specialty of my hometown that I brought from Sheng Tian. Please ask Aunt Bai Professor Mu and Senior Sister Wen to try it."

Tan Xiaotian opened his suitcase, took out a few boxes of Shengtian's specialties, including Bulain candies and wild hazelnuts, and handed them to Bai Lihua.

"Then you can sit in the house, too. They are all Chinese, how can you leave without sitting?"

Bai Lihua felt a little sad.

"Mom, who are you talking to?"

A young Chinese man walked out of the house.

"This is my son Mu Jiayin. He happened to be on vacation today. He works in San Francisco and is an accountant."

Bai Lihua hurriedly started an introduction, "This is a little party, Dang loves the group, Wen Chen's classmate, this time I came to see her. Unfortunately, Wen Chen went to class. The little party still has something to do and is leaving soon."

Tan Xiaotian looked at the handsome Mu Jiayin and felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Aunt Bai, I'll go to the plane and say goodbye."

"Wait, I'll give it to you! It's hard to get a taxi here."

Mu Jiayin enthusiastically went back to the house to get the car keys and drove out.

For some reason, when he saw this tall and handsome Dang Aiqun for the first time, he felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart.

Tan Xiaotian looked at the watch and knew that if he refused, he might not be able to catch up with the plane. He thanked him and got into Mu Jiayin's car.

Along the way, the two rarely communicated, only at the beginning Mu Jiayin asked where he was going?

Tan Xiaotian answered, "Boston!"

After that, the two fell silent. Mu Jiayin was peeking at Tan Xiaotian from time to time, and kept guessing in her heart what the relationship between Dang Aiqun and Wen Chen was.

The car arrived at the airport, Tan Xiaotian took the suitcase, and waved goodbye to Mu Jiayin.

Mu Jiayin looked at Tan Xiaotian's back, was stunned for a while, and then drove home.

In the afternoon, as soon as Wen Chen returned to the Mu family after class, Bai Lihua greeted her.

"Nannan, a classmate named Dang came to see you this morning. I kept him and said he wanted to catch a plane. He left in a hurry. It was Jiayin who drove him to the airport. Look, this is the specialty of his hometown left behind, and I didn't even move."

"Thank you aunt!"

Wen Chen was stunned and hurriedly thanked Bai Lihua, but muttered in his heart.

A classmate named Party?

Apart from the Party and the Love of the Group, I have no classmates named Party. Has he come to the United States?

But it's not right! I've been having emails with him, but it doesn't matter if he comes to notify me?

Wen Chen asked calmly, "Auntie, is this person called Dang Aiqun?"

"Yes, what he said is the name?"

"How does this person look?"

Wen Chen stroked his hair, "I have been abroad for a year, and I don't know if he has changed?"

Before Bai Lihua could speak, Mu Jiayin's voice came from the upstairs, "Nannan, you are very tall and handsome. Please tell me honestly, have you two dated before?"

Wen Chen stood in the living room without moving, his heart was already like the sea under a hurricane, with waves rising and falling.

"Auntie, Brother Jiayin, I've been in class for the whole morning and my head hurts a little. I went back to my room to rest."

Wen Chen hurriedly fled.

"Nannan, these candies and hazelnuts..." "You eat them! I have no appetite now."

Bai Lihua and Mu Jiayin looked at each other.

Bai Lihua sighed, "I knew this girl had someone else in her heart, otherwise how could she always be cold to you?"

Mu Jiayin clenched her lips, "Mom, don't worry about me, I believe Nannan will accept me in the end.

Except for being good-looking, the Dang Aiqun was very average in other aspects. He was just a student from a second-rate university in China..." Bai Lihua nodded with emphasis, "You are a certified public accountant, with a high-paying profession, and he can't compare with you."

As he said that, Bai Lihua opened a box of hazelnuts and said to herself: "I haven't eaten wild hazelnuts for a long time. Although the hazelnuts here are big, they are not delicious at all. Good news, do you eat them?"

She grabbed a handful of them and then exclaimed.

"Jiayin, look..." Mu Jiayin leaned down and glared at the eyes after seeing the things under the hazelnuts.

"Nannan, you come down."

Upstairs, Wen Chen was wiping his tears.

Who was the person she guessed after Mu Jiayin said that she was tall and handsome?

Haven't we broken up?

Why are you visiting me again?

You were so cruel at the beginning... Mu Jiayin's voice came downstairs.

Wen Chen's feelings about this young talent are very complicated.

He could see anyone's affection for him, but she couldn't get any interest.

But now I live in his house, and some things are hard to say are too ruthless.

This made Wen Chen very embarrassed, so she rarely returned here as long as she could stay in school.

"I'll go down right away."

Wen Chen wiped his eyes with a hand towel and went downstairs. Bai Lihua and Mu Jiayin and his son sat on the sofa, and a box of open hazelnuts were placed on the coffee table.

Following their eyes, Wen Chen saw something under the hazelnuts, two bundles of new US dollars, one hundred and one, and it was estimated that it should be 20,000 US dollars.

Bai Lihua smiled far-fetchedly, "Nannan, you are really rich."

Wen Chen suddenly felt anger from his heart.

What do you think of me?

I ate it all and ignored it, and now I send the money quietly. Have you discovered my conscience?

Or show off your wealth to me.

Wen Chen held back, picked up the cardboard box, and went upstairs step by step back to his room.
