Chapter 17 - Mengmeng's invitation

At the front of the hotel reception desk.

“Give me a hotel……standard room.” Zhang Han stopped what he wanted to say just in time.

The reason why was because……he was running out of money again.

A total of 19.6million yuan. After subtracting the mountain rent which was 12million yuan, there was still 7.6million yuan left.

3million yuan for renting house, 500k yuan for manual work fee, 500k yuan for ceramic tiles, 300k for supplementary materials, 1million yuan for the television wall, 500k yuan for the furniture, 1.1million yuan for the piano, which was a total of 6.9million yuan. This also meant that, after Zhang Han finished signing the contract for the renting of Crescent Mountain tomorrow, he would be left with around 700k yuan. This was not enough for him to stay in a president suite.

“Pfff……” The girl receptionist who was receiving Zhang Han could not help but laugh, as she handed over the room card to Zhang Han with all smiles and said, “Here, your president standard room.”

Zhang Han took a look ineffably at the girl who was laughing.

According to the hotel’s standards, the receptionist should not be able allowed to straight out laugh like that!

He figured that the receptionist was a big family’s young lady who was working here just to experience life.

After taking the room card, Zhang Han went to a restaurant to eat dinner.

When the time came to 7pm, Liu Meng called Zhang Han to inform him to find him tomorrow at morning 9am to sign the contract to rent the mountain.

In his room, Zhang Han lied down on the bed. His gaze was looking at the television, but his mind was filled with Meng Meng that little princess.

He was missing his daughter.

On the other side of the city, Yunyin Garden, Zi Yan and Zhou Fei just arrived back home.

“We have finally finished picking 100 garbage songs!” Zhou Fei said petulantly. Her face was filled with exhaustion.

“It has been hard on you, Xiao Fei.” Zi Yan lightly smiled and said, “Tomorrow after we filter out 12 songs from the 100 songs, it will not be that bad anymore.”

Listening to songs should have been a wonderful matter. A song that was good was able to indirectly affect one’s mood. Songs that were cheerful were able to make one feel cheerful, songs that were sad were about to make others start tearing up, songs that were melodious were able to make others relax.

And the songs that Zi Yan and Zhou Fei listened to, the effect those songs had on them, was nothing but suffering!

It would be fine if the songs were merely unpleasant to listen to, but some of the songs were unbearable to listen to. And the two of them still listened to hundreds of songs. Those past 2 days were just like an ordeal for them.

“Big Sister Yan, if you had 4 real high-quality songs, this upcoming album of yours would still be able to cause quite a sensation. But the songs that we have now are just too terrible already.” Zhou Fei said with a face full of anger, “Furthermore, I heard that apart from Xu Ruoyu who received 8 high-quality songs, another third-rate singer also got 2 high-quality songs. It is obvious that the ‘high quality’ songs that the witch gave you were just some random songs she found from the company’s music library. I think that we should not compete with Xu Ruoyu on the fifteenth.”

Upon hearing that, Zi Yan frowned and said obstinately, “No, we will release the album on the fifteenth!”

As someone who was once one of the most popular celebrities in China, Zi Yan had pride!

How could a mere Xu Ruoyu be able to make her lower her head!

“Alright, we will fight with all we have then!” Zhou Fei smiled and shook her head. In her heart, she felt helpless. She knew that there was no use in persuading Zi Yan as Zi Yan was very obstinate in this respect.

“I’m going to look for Meng Meng.” Zi Yan shook her head and smiled, as she changed into slippers and walked towards the second floor.

Only when facing her daughter, would Zi Yan reveal her smile.

“Forget your friend when you have your daughter. Humph.” Zhou Fei rolled her eyes and mumbled, “Meng Meng this, Meng Meng that. Didn’t you say that you did not approve of the name that the fellow gave for the little girl?”

Just when Zi Yan reached the staircase, she immediately heard the little princess crying on the second floor.

“What’s the matter Meng Meng?” Zi Yan quickly walked up to the second floor, and upon seeing the little princess crying, she immediately walked over and hugged the little princess.

Off to the side, housekeeper Wang Juan was somewhat anxious. She herself was also quite confused. Everything was fine until, out of nowhere, the little princess just started crying

“I miss my daddy very much!”

Normally, Meng Meng would also be able to speak fluent Chinese. But when she got anxious, she would use English.

After hearing that, Zi Yan’s expression froze as she said with a helpless tone, “Didn’t mommy already tell you? After your daddy finishes with his things, he will come and find you.”

“But…but I want to see him now. Mommy, will you let daddy come see Meng Meng?” Meng Meng said pitifully.

“Meng Meng!” Zi Yan slightly frowned and said, “If you continue to be like this, mommy will be angry!”

“Boohoo, boohoo, I don’t want you to hug anymore.” Meng Meng began struggling out of Zi Yan’s embrace, with a heartbroken look on her face.

Upon seeing that, Zi Yan felt both angry and helpless at the same time.

Why? They were only together for 5 days and it was like this already?

However, when Zi Yan’s gaze saw that the television was currently showing a program between father and children, she understood what had happened.

After having Auntie Wang switch off the television, Zi Yan said tenderly,

“Meng Meng, don’t cry, behave. Mommy also loves you very much. Can you tell mommy why you miss daddy?”

“It is just that…I want to play with daddy,” Meng Meng said in a low voice.

“What do you play with your daddy? Was it very fun?” Zi Yan said, trying to divert Meng Meng’s attention.

“It was very fun! Daddy brought me to a mountain. A lot a lot of cars were there. When daddy was driving the car, he was very fast, and the sound was very very big! Those bad people talked bad about daddy. But…but later on, they all complemented that daddy was very powerful.” Meng Meng stopped crying and answered as she pondered.

After hearing this, Zi Yan’s face turned black!

This scoundrel! He actually took his daughter car racing? He was truly a scoundrel!

Zi Yan was angry but maintained a smile on her face as she asked, “Then where else did your daddy take you to play?”

“Daddy also brought me to sit on the big bird and go to Disneyland to play. Mommy, Disneyland is very fun! In Disneyland, there are a lot a lot of fun things to play. Meng Meng still wants to go to Disneyland again.” Meng Meng’s eyes lit up.

After hearing that, there was regret and disappointment in Zi Yan’s expression.

Meng Meng is so big and yet I have not even taken her to a theme park before.

“Meng Meng, then how about mommy also bring you go Disneyland play during the day after tomorrow?”

She decided to squeeze out all her energy to focus on her work tomorrow, then properly accompany Meng Meng to play for an entire day the day after tomorrow.

“Eh?”

Meng Meng first went into a daze, followed by her eyes lighting up and clapping her hands as she shouted happily, “Alright, alright! Let’s go Disneyland play, go Disneyland play! Mommy is the best!”

After finish speaking, the adorable Meng Meng pouted her mouth and lightly kissed Zi Yan’s cheek.

Upon seeing that, Zhou Fei who was at the side said with a smile, “Meng Meng, give Aunt Feifei a kiss too.”

After finish speaking, Zhou Fei lower down her body and waited for the little princess’s kiss. However, after waiting for a while, she did not see any movement from the little princess.

Meng Meng stared at Zhou Fei with her clear eyes as she shook her head and said, “Uhhuh, I am not kissing.”

“Oh?” Zhou Fei went into a daze for a while, then said, “Little fellow, last time when aunt let you kiss, you would kiss. Why did you change now? Humph! Quickly come give me Aunt Feifei a kiss, or else Aunt Feifei is going to be angry.”

“Don’t want, I am not kissing.” Meng Meng immediately hid in Zi Yan’s embrace.

Upon seeing that, Zi Yan thought that it was because Meng Meng was somewhat shy and could not help but smile in the corner of her mouth.

Zhou Fei pouted her mouth and said, “Meng Meng, do you not like Aunt Feifei anymore?”

“Like……” Meng Meng answered with her cute voice.

“Then why do you not want to hug Aunt Feifei anymore?” Zhou Fei was confused about this matter.

“Daddy said I cannot kiss.” Meng Meng said with a serious face, “Daddy said that, apart from daddy and mommy, Meng Meng cannot kiss anyone else, or else I would fall sick.”

Zhou Fei’s expression froze.

Upon seeing that, Zi Yan could not help but laugh. This Zhou Fei who normally had a ruthless mouth could only be defeated by Meng Meng.

However, what Meng Meng said next made Zi Yan’s face turned black.

“Daddy…daddy also said that I should kiss mommy less, because…because when I kiss mommy, I would kiss a mouthful of cosmetic foundation. Daddy said that cosmetic foundation is not clean.”

“Pfff…….” Seeing Zi Yan’s blackened face, it became Zhou Fei’s turn to laugh this time.

“Your daddy is right. Meng Meng, I think that you should also not kiss your mommy anymore in the future!” Zhou Fei mumbled.

“That scoundrel!” Zi Yan gnashed her teeth with anger.

“Uhuh! Mommy, you are not allowed to talk badly about daddy. Mommy, I want to talk with daddy. Can you call him please?” The little princess said with her cute voice.

“Sure! I will call him!” Zi Yan immediately took out her phone and dialed Zhang Han’s phone number.

“Zhang Han!” When the phone call connected, Zi Yan said petulantly, “What did you teach Meng Meng? What is wrong with Meng Meng kissing me? Does my face have that much cosmetic foundation? I very rarely put on makeup, okay? Moreover, there is practically no cosmetic foundation with that little bit of light makeup that I put on! Humph! Hard-headed fool! Meng Meng wants to talk to you!”

Zi Yan spoke finish everything in one breath. Meng Meng immediately took the phone with great joy.

“Did this woman eat the wrong medicine?”

While Zhang Han was thinking to himself, Meng Meng’s voice sounded out from the phone.

“Zhang Han! Guess who am I?” Meng Meng imitated her mother’s tone and spoke.

“I guess……you are……the beautiful and adorable little princess, Meng Meng?” Zhang Han said tenderly.

“Incorrect, incorrect, I am not Meng Meng. I…I am Yan Yan!” Meng Meng spoke, while still imitating her mother’s tone.

Hearing that, Zhou Fei could not help but laugh, while Zi Yan rolled her eyes petulantly.

“Yan Yan?” Zhang Han smiled, then deepened his tone as he said, “Cough, cough, Yan Yan, where is Meng Meng? I miss her already, let her get on the phone!”

“Oh, alright then. You wait for a while.” Meng Meng spoke, then placed the phone away from her ear. Two seconds later, she brought the phone back to her ear and spoke in her cute voice, “Daddy, I am Meng Meng. I miss you so much.”

“Hahaha……” Zhang Han laughed heartily, then said, “Daddy also misses you very much.”

“Daddy, when are you coming to come find me to play?” Meng Meng asked.

“Daddy will go come and pick you up in a week.”

“Oh, there are still so many days. That’s right, daddy, mommy is going to take me to Disneyland during the day after tomorrow. Daddy can you come with us?” Meng Meng asked.

“Sure.”

Hearing her daddy agree, Meng Meng felt extremely happy and began chuckling. After speaking a huge bunch of words, Meng Meng then hanged up the phone.

“Mommy, mommy, daddy said that we are not going to go to Disneyland this time. We are going to go to other theme parks to play.”
