No matter what excuses Chen Ruo Yu tried to come up with, she was still eventually dragged into the reserved room.

When the door was pushed open, at first glance Chen Ruo Yu saw the slightly smiling Meng Mother seated at the table chatting and next to her was the Dean with a serious face.

Suddenly, Chen Ruo Yu felt that she could not walk.  The more she walked, the more awkward she became. 

Meng Gu patted her head, gave her hand a squeeze and half led her and half dragged her to the table.

“Dad……Mom……”  Meng Gu greeted them in a relaxed manner.

“Ah…..Auntie, Uncle…..”  Chen Ruo Yu followed and greeted them.  After greeting the two people, she cried in anguish in her heart.  She’s finished!  She stuttered! 

Her first impression is not good and she really wanted to do it all over again.

“You’re here.  Sit down.”  Meng Mother smiled and got up to pour tea for them.  “Drink some hot tea to warm up.”

Chen Ruo Yu was overwhelmed with fear and did not dare to drink.  She put it on the table and was afraid she would embarrass herself. 

“Why are you so late?”  The moment Dean Meng opened his mouth, he was nitpicking.  “Your Mom is already hungry.”

“It’s alright, I had eaten something.  What do you want to eat?  Hurry up and order.”

“There was a long queue at the expressway toll stations and there was a traffic jam when we entered the city.”  Meng Gu explained casually and took the menu to order. 

Chen Ruo Yu wanted to move to his side and look at the menu together with him, pretending she was busy but she felt it was impolite.  But like this, sitting there with nothing to do, big eyes looking at small eyes, it was even more embarrassing.

At this time, Meng Mother pulled out a red envelope from her bag and gave it to Chen Ruo Yu.  “Xiao Yu, Happy New Year.  We don’t have anything to give you except for this red envelope to wish you auspicious luck.”

Chen Ruo Yu was a little scared and quickly glanced at Meng Gu.  In her heart, she was shouting ~ Dr. Meng, Dr. Meng…….your parents did not give me a cheque instead they gave me a red envelope.  Can I take it?

Meng Gu looked up from the menu and said.  “Quick, say thank you to Mom.”

“Thank you, Mom.”  After receiving his instructions, Chen Ruo Yu quickly responded.  She took the red envelope and then realized something was wrong and quickly tried to remedy.  “No, I mean, thank you, Auntie.”

Meng Gu threw her a look of disdain and Chen Ruo Yu pretended not to see.

Meng Mother smiled and it seems like Chen Ruo Yu had done something that had made her happy.  She asked about the situation in C-city and also asked about the situation of Chen Ruo Yu’s family.  Every time Meng Mother said something, she would nod and when Meng Mother asked her something, she would answer quickly.  Her submissive look made Meng Gu could not help but caress her head. 

Chen Ruo Yu turned her head to look at him and said in her heart ~ I’m very nervous.  What should I do?

Meng Gu seemed to be able to hear her and said.  “Eat your food.”
