Chapter 343 Taxi at the School Gate
Chapter 343 Taxi at the School Gate
"President Gu, I will definitely not let you down." Zhang Ming was so excited that he almost stood up from his seat.
He knew that if he handled the matter in the southern suburbs well, he would definitely be given important responsibilities, and promotion and salary increases would be a given.
Gu Yinshen glanced at the time and asked the driver to pull over to the side of the road.
Zhang Ming was still immersed in joy and did not notice at all that the car had stopped.
"Zhang Ming, take a taxi back to the company. The company will reimburse your expenses," Gu Yinshen said.
Zhang Ming didn't hear the second half of the sentence, only the first half of the call. He opened his mouth, let out an "ah," and waited for Gu Yinshen to continue.
Seeing his bewildered expression, Gu Yinshen spoke again, "I'm going to pick up my child from school, so I won't be going back to the company. You can take a taxi back; the company will reimburse your fare."
Hearing the explanation, Zhang Ming instantly came to his senses. He quickly unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car without daring to delay for a moment.
She stood straight by the roadside, watching Gu Yinshen's car drive away before she relaxed.
I almost missed out on a promotion and raise!
……
As soon as the school bell rang, Tian Tian was the first to leave the classroom. This was a common occurrence for her, and the teacher on the podium was no longer surprised.
"Class, school's out. See you tomorrow." The teacher said, then left the classroom amidst the noise.
Tangtang dashed to Mengmeng's side, "Mengmeng, are you ready?"
"All packed." Mengmeng slung her backpack over her shoulder and looked at Tiantian's seat.
"Why does she leave so early every day?" Tangtang asked curiously, following Mengmeng's gaze.
If the Gu family sends a driver to pick her up, she will go back with Mengmeng. No matter how early she leaves, she will have to wait in the car.
Mengmeng shook her head. "Maybe Sister Tiantian wants to go home quickly."
"Forget it, let's not talk about her anymore." Tangtang took Mengmeng's hand. "Do you want to come over to my place this weekend?"
"Hmm...it seems I can't go. My brother and Mengmeng made a promise that they would take me out this weekend."
"Where?"
After being rejected, Tangtang couldn't help but ask again.
With Gu Shiyu's words echoing in her mind, Mengmeng looked down at Tangtang's curious face.
Should we tell Tangtang?
But my brother said we can't let too many people not know.
"Mengmeng?" Tangtang shook Mengmeng's arm. "What are you thinking about?"
"It's nothing, Tangtang, how about next weekend? You can come to my house to play, and Mengmeng can have Ruolan's mom make you some snacks. Don't you want to eat Ruolan's mom's snacks again?"
"dessert?"
Tangtang's eyes lit up, and she could barely hold back her drool.
Seeing that Tangtang was no longer asking her what she was going to do on the weekend, Mengmeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief where Tangtang couldn't see her.
Tangtang felt like something was missing from her head, but she couldn't quite put her finger on it. She shook her head and affectionately hugged Mengmeng as they walked out.
Walking along the main road of the campus, Tangtang kept telling Mengmeng about Tang Yibai's recent situation.
Since eating the organic vegetables and fruits that Mengmeng brought him, his physical condition has become even stronger than before the car accident. With subsequent training, his body has reached the standard to participate in competitions.
Mengmeng listened, and was very happy for Tang Yibai.
"Tangtang, when Uncle Tang participates in the competition, can Mengmeng go to the scene to watch?"
“Of course, Dad specifically told me that he’ll definitely save you a few tickets so you can bring your uncle and aunt along,” Tangtang said.
Mengmeng looked into the distance and reached out to tug at Tangtang's arm. "Look over there, isn't that Sister Tiantian?"
Tangtang looked over and nodded, "It seems so."
"Let's go take a look." Mengmeng curiously pulled Tangtang's hand and walked towards the so-called sweet spot.
When school lets out, there are many people, and everyone is in a hurry to get out, wanting to see their parents as soon as possible.
Mengmeng and Tangtang blended into the crowd and went unnoticed by Tiantian.
After leaving the school through the side gate, Tian Tian glanced back and sneakily entered a taxi parked by the roadside.
The taxi drove away the instant the doors closed.
"Why did she just leave by car?" Tangtang asked curiously, pulling Mengmeng's hand.
While still on campus, Mengmeng didn't clearly see if the person in front of her was Tiantian. After she saw clearly, Tiantian got into the car and left.
She turned to look at Tangtang, who was looking at her with curiosity, and shook her head. "I don't know either."
They came from school together and didn't understand why Tian Tian would take a taxi, let alone where she was going.
"Is she rich?" Tangtang continued to ask curiously.
Mengmeng thought for a moment, "Probably."
Her mother may have given her pocket money, perhaps from the money she had at home.
What she's most curious about right now is why Sweetie chose to take a taxi.
Didn't she want to ride back with her?
Thinking of this, Mengmeng felt a little disappointed.
Tangtang grabbed Mengmeng's hand and excitedly shouted, "Mengmeng, your dad is here!"
Turning around, Gu Yinshen's figure appeared behind him.
Upon seeing Gu Yinshen, Mengmeng's disappointment was somewhat alleviated.
"Dad~"
"What's wrong? Are you in a bad mood?"
With just one word, Gu Yinshen could tell what was on Mengmeng's mind. He also noticed something was wrong with Tangtang's expression beside her.
Something must have happened between the two of them at school, otherwise their dismissal time wouldn't be so different from others.
Gu Yinshen stepped forward and hugged Mengmeng in his arms, gently asking, "Tell Daddy, did something unpleasant happen at school?"
"No." Mengmeng shook her head.
Gu Yinshen mistakenly thought she was afraid he would worry, and continued, "Mengmeng, how can you hide from Daddy's eyes? Is there anything Daddy can't know?"
Mengmeng looked down at Tangtang, who was standing next to Gu Yinshen.
The two exchanged glances.
"Tangtang, do you want to tell Daddy?"
I don't know either! What do you think?
[If Sweetie takes a taxi home, that would be best. But if she has other things to do and doesn't go home, I'm afraid Mom and Dad will worry if they don't see her.]
"Then tell me now."
With Tangtang's support, Mengmeng's resolve strengthened.
More than where Tian Tian went or what she did, she was most worried about Ruolan.
A few days ago, Tian Tian didn't come to school and went somewhere else. Ruolan was very worried. Mengmeng didn't want her to experience this feeling a second time.
"Dad, Mengmeng has something to tell you."
"Have you figured it out? Do you feel it's wrong to keep it from your dad?"
Gu Yinshen chuckled and teased, completely unaware that Tian Tian was not by his side.
Mengmeng took a deep breath.
