A wealthy playboy for nineteen years, my first love fulfills my dream of becoming a father.

Chapter 68 Jiang Silu learns the truth about Elder Meng

"Isn't that right?" Teacher Chen smiled awkwardly. "I thought your elders knew Mr. Meng."

Jiang Silu immediately shook her head: "Teacher Chen, no one in our family knows Old Meng. Old Meng is so famous, how could we possibly have any connection with him?"

"Really?" After hearing this, Teacher Chen gave an awkward laugh: "I see, I was wrong. Come on, eat some cake."

For the rest of the time, she chatted with Jiang Silu.

However, since Jiang Silu had another class later, Teacher Chen didn't take up too much of her time.

Goodbye, Teacher Chen.

"Okay, goodbye~"

After Jiang Silu left, Teacher Chen muttered to himself, "It's probably because of her family connections that Old Meng came over. Silu didn't know about it. It seems Silu's family has quite a wide network of connections."

Similarly, Jiang Silu was also recalling the question that Teacher Chen had just asked.

Why would she suddenly ask me if I had known Old Meng for a long time?

"Is it because Professor Meng accepted me as a student that Professor Chen thinks I'm a relative?"

Jiang Silu was a little angry. She felt that among the freshmen, she was among the top in terms of talent and hard work.

Even if Master Meng really wanted to choose a student from the freshmen, she would have a perfectly good chance.

But why would Teacher Chen ask such a question?

Jiang Silu thought about it for the entire morning, and was even somewhat absent-minded during class.

While waiting for lunch, she sent Jiang Yixia a voice message: "Mom, what are you doing? Are you minding the shop?"

At this moment, Jiang Yixia was cleaning the new shop.

After seeing Jiang Silu's WeChat message, she replied: "Mom's flower shop has moved, and they're cleaning it now."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Silu immediately dialed Jiang Yixia's number.

"Mom, what's going on? Why is the flower shop suddenly moving?" she asked anxiously.

Jiang Yixia then briefly told Jiang Silu what had happened yesterday.

"Was Dad there yesterday too?" Jiang Silu asked, somewhat surprised.

Seeing this, Jiang Yixia had no choice but to answer, "Yes, he opened a pastry shop across from my flower shop."

Hearing this, Jiang Silu found it somewhat interesting.

Unexpectedly, her once irresponsible father is now resorting to this tactic to win back her mother.

Jiang Silu asked curiously, "Did Dad help find the new store location too?"

"Yes, but I've already settled all the fees with him," Jiang Yixia explained. "Now my new flower shop is far from his pastry shop, so he can't bother me anymore."

"Actually, he's quite interesting. He actually used the tactic of relentlessly pestering you, Mom," Jiang Silu chuckled.

Seeing that Jiang Silu was teasing her, Jiang Yixia changed the subject, saying, "How did your design competition go? Did you listen carefully to Teacher Meng's instructions?"

"Mom, speaking of Professor Meng, I have something to tell you." Jiang Silu thought for a moment, and finally decided to tell you what Teacher Chen had said today: "Today, our counselor called me over, first asking me what my relationship was with Professor Meng. Does she think that with my abilities, I'm not qualified to be Professor Meng's last disciple?"

"Of course you can."

Jiang Yixia did not intend to tell Jiang Silu about Lu Fan's contact with Old Meng.

So she encouraged her, "Our Lulu is so talented and capable, why can't she be?"

"Yes, but why would she ask that? I don't understand." Jiang Silu said, sounding a little aggrieved. "I didn't even know Old Meng before."

"It's alright, don't worry about it. You should know that Master Meng came all the way from the capital to Nanjing to teach you. As long as you learn something, that's all that matters," Jiang Yixia comforted her.

Jiang Silu didn't initially find anything wrong with what she heard.

But the next second, she became puzzled: "Mom, I didn't even know that Elder Meng came to Nanjing from the capital. How did you know?"

"I... um..." Jiang Yixia has never been good at lying, and she and her child have always been honest with each other.

Three seconds later, she finally sighed and said, "Okay, actually, it was your father who contacted Master Meng. He heard from your classmates that you were going to participate in the Landscape Design Cup competition and that you were being bullied by a senior student, so he asked Master Meng, the master of landscape architecture, to come to your school to teach and take you as his last disciple to pass on his life's knowledge."

After hearing this explanation, Jiang Silu was shocked.

She was silent for a while on the other end of the phone before saying, "I thought it was because I was good enough that Old Master Meng took a liking to me and accepted me as his apprentice."

"Lulu, you are really excellent. Otherwise, how could you absorb all the knowledge points that Teacher Meng mentioned so quickly?" Jiang Yixia was worried that her daughter would feel disappointed, so she quickly comforted her.

But Jiang Silu didn't seem as fragile as she had imagined. Instead, she said easily, "Now everything makes sense. Teacher Chen and the others thought I had some kind of relationship with Old Master Meng, so they came to Jinling University to give a lecture and take me as their apprentice. I thought it was because I was exceptionally talented, but actually it was all arranged by my father."

"He...he also wanted to help you." Although Jiang Yixia hated Lu Fan, she wanted to maintain Lu Fan's image as a father in front of the child.

Jiang Silu took it all in stride: "Mom, I'm not sad at all. On the contrary, I'm quite happy. From childhood to adulthood, I've always thought that my dad could solve my problems and help me with anything, but he's never been there for me."

"That's why I hate him, and that's why I feel he didn't take good care of the three of us. But now he's helping me in his own way, and he's also helping you, Mom. I think that's great."

"Although I still can't accept him as a father in the short term, his image has slightly improved my impression of him."

Hearing Jiang Silu's words, Jiang Yixia finally breathed a sigh of relief.

The mother and daughter chatted for a while longer before hanging up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Silu thought for a moment and then dialed the number of someone in her contacts.

Lu Fan had just gotten off the plane at that moment.

He saw that the caller ID showed it was his daughter, Jiang Silu, and answered the phone immediately.

"Hey Lulu, what's wrong?"

"Are you... are you free?" Jiang Silu hesitated for a moment before mustering her courage to ask.

Upon hearing this, Lu Fan immediately replied, "I'm free, what's up?"

"I know about Mr. Meng's matter; my mother told me. To thank you, let me treat you to a meal."

"Okay," Lu Fan laughed. "Where shall we meet?"

"Let's meet at the school gate at 5 p.m.

"it is good."

After ending the call, Lu Fan suddenly felt that the air in Jinling was filled with the warmth of family!
