My autobiography is definitely not a tragedy!
Chapter 522 - 341

Chapter 522: 341

Su City Train Station.

"Phew~ Finally back safe and sound..."

Meng Lang, who was pulling his suitcase, let out a long sigh of relief as he got off the train.

"You can sigh all you want, but why must you include ’safe and sound’ in your phrasing..."

Following behind, Yan Weiwei also disembarked the train and couldn’t help but tease.

"Once you’ve experienced more, you’ll understand that every trip is a baptism of life, and the most important... is safety first..."

Meng Lang said with a sigh.

Anyway, he had no idea when it started, but every trip over 100 kilometers meant "he" almost never returned.

Just thinking about it was quite upsetting...

Turning around to look at Lin Haitang and Xiao Yu, who also carried a lot of luggage and had been stuffed with a bunch of local products by their mother without discussion, Meng Lang couldn’t help but laugh.

They played at home for three days and truly experienced the rustic country life.

The air they breathed was unpolluted, and the scenery was naturally beautiful. They visited famous historical sites in the morning and went catching shrimp and fishing in the river in the afternoon, sometimes exploring the local customs of nearby ancient towns.

Just by looking at their expressions, it was clear they came in high spirits and left fully satisfied!

It’s just that everyone’s skin inevitably became a bit less bright; they all got quite a bit tanner.

Even Lin Haitang’s skin tone had a sharp contrast to her previous fair and clean white-collar city look.

"Hehe! Our mission this time can be called a grand success!

We climbed mountains, saw the Terracotta Army, visited the uncle’s home, and most importantly, we finally brought Sister Weiwei back!" Xiao Yu counted on her fingers and clenched her little fist.

"And now I declare! The first group mission of the ’Xiao Yu Mountain Climbing Team’... complete success!"

"Shouldn’t we celebrate properly when we get back tonight?"

The group chatted and laughed as they left the train station, just managed to hail a taxi, and put all their luggage in.

Yan Weiwei, however, didn’t get into the car but looked at the time on her watch.

"You guys go back first. I have an appointment today and might be home late, so don’t wait for me to have dinner."

"Eh?" Meng Lang was momentarily startled and before he could ask what was going on, Yan Weiwei had already waved her hand nonchalantly, leaving only her back for everyone to see.

He exchanged a puzzled look with Lin Haitang.

But the next moment, something seemed off with Meng Lang’s expression...

"Hmm~"

Did Yan Weiwei just say she would... be home late?

Lin Haitang, sensing the imminent "danger," blushed and quickly slipped into the backseat of the taxi with Xiao Yu.

Meng Lang tried to follow them, but the car door was abruptly closed with a "bang."

Meng Lang: "..."

He opened the door of the front passenger seat somewhat helplessly.

Since that day, Lin Haitang had been avoiding him like a cat avoiding a rat.

Whenever Meng Lang was around, Lin Haitang was inevitably accompanied by either Xiao Yu or Yan Weiwei, and even at night, she made excuses to switch rooms to sleep with Yan Weiwei, completely denying him any chance to be alone with her.

This left Meng Lang, who was keen to "further their relationship," quite helpless.

However...

You can hide on the first day of the month, but not on the fifteenth!

"Xiao Yu, school starts again tomorrow. Have you completed your holiday homework assigned by the teacher?"

Meng Lang turned his head with a smile.

"Holiday homework? I have some, but the teacher never cares about my assignments; it doesn’t matter whether I turn them in."

Xiao Yu said innocently.

Meng Lang’s mouth twitched.

Is this the treatment of a top student?

"Ahem! Xiao Yu, although we have good grades, we mustn’t become complacent. As the saying goes, ’reviewing the old makes us learn new things,’ so we must do our homework.

It shows respect for the teacher’s hard work too!

When we get home later, go straight to your room and finish your assignments. Play is play, but we can’t neglect our studies, understand?"

"But what about dinner?"

"You don’t need to worry about that, as you have your sister and me around! Your most important task right now is to study!"

"Oh..."

Lin Haitang: "..."

Seeing Meng Xiaolang putting on a fake demeanor and entering "parent mode," Lin Haitang was both amused and frustrated.

This ulterior motive...

"Driver, please stop at the Eastern Building up ahead."

"Sure thing!"

Meng Lang was taken aback. "Eh? What are we stopping there for?"

Lin Haitang gave him a look.

"Just now our director sent me a message. There’s a rather urgent case, and he asked me to come back to the firm as soon as possible, so... Xiao Yu, I’m entrusting you to take her home first.

Not sure how long it will take, so you all don’t have to wait for me for dinner."

Meng Lang: "..."

"Bang!" After closing the car door and waving goodbye, Lin Haitang finally breathed a sigh of relief as the taxi merged back into the traffic and gradually disappeared.

Thinking back to the forlorn face of someone in the passenger seat just now, Lin Haitang couldn’t help but want to laugh.

However, the smile at the corner of her mouth didn’t last long before it was replaced by a touch of sorrow.

"Sigh!"

With a sigh, she slowly walked into the Eastern Building...

...

Zhongtian Law Firm.

"Haitang? Weren’t you supposed to come back to work tomorrow?" The director looked surprised.

"Cough! It’s nothing, I just came back earlier than expected and thought I’d come over to check out the case you mentioned."

"Hmm!" Director Zheng nodded and smiled as he looked at Lin Haitang.

"You’ve gotten quite a tan in just a few days."

"Uhm... I went to the countryside for a few days."

"Good, you’re usually too hard on yourself. You should relax from time to time. That makes me relieved because the next one... will be a tough battle!"

"What kind of case is it that even requires pulling several senior lawyers from our firm to form a legal team?"

"Hmm! This time it’s an international dispute, the case is very complex and involves a staggering amount of money. The client is one of the oldest and most technically proficient shipbuilding enterprises in the country... Bin City Shipbuilding Heavy Industry Group..."

...

"Really, one by one they just take off... At least think about the amount of luggage..."

First-class Residence.

Meng Lang, covered in large and small bags, was sweating profusely as he crammed a pile of luggage into the elevator.

Yan Weiwei and Lin Haitang, one with an appointment and the other returning to the company, of course couldn’t take the luggage with them. Aside from a minor, who else but Meng Lang was left to do the heavy lifting?

Usually, a trip home means coming back with "heavy love" from the family.

This time though, that love multiplied by four, but why is it only me who has to bear it...

Xiao Yu, huffing and puffing, pushed the last few parcels in, and only then did the elevator doors slowly close.

The two exchanged glances and sighed helplessly in unison.

"Uncle, did you offend my sister? I feel like she’s been avoiding you lately?"

"Uh... in a sense, yes..."

After all, she did say she didn’t want it...

"Ding~" The elevator door opened.

Meng Lang was about to move the luggage out of the elevator when he suddenly noticed a man standing at his doorstep, looking rather sneaky.

The man was wearing a face mask and sunglasses, topped with a baseball cap, and even his neck was tightly wrapped in a scarf...

Meng Lang’s pupils shrank, and his heart thumped.

Dressed in winter clothes on such a hot day? Clearly up to no good!

This disguise... could it be that I’ve been exposed and directly attracted an "assassin"?

But that shouldn’t be, the brothers are the ones making waves all over the world, and I haven’t even done anything yet!

Can running into minor harassment from the enemy at home while saving money also happen?

Are they trying to take me out in one fell swoop before I can retaliate?

The sound of the elevator door opening caught the man’s attention, and he immediately looked over...

Protecting Xiao Yu behind him, Meng Lang had already reached into his pocket and grasped a silver needle...

"Ah Lang!"

Meng Lang, who had entered an overclocking state, paused, and in the nick of time retracted the silver needle he was about to shoot.

"Ah Xian?"

After the man removed his sunglasses and face mask, it turned out to be none other than Duan Xian.

"Phew~" Meng Lang let out a long sigh of relief.

He looked at Duan Xian with annoyance.

"What are you up to? Dressing like that, you gave me a scare. I thought..."

"Thought what?"

"Thought I ran into a thug!" Meng Lang glanced at him, "It could have had serious consequences you know!"

"Hmm... your glare was pretty fierce just now, but was such a big reaction necessary?"

"Not necessary? Haven’t you heard... scaring someone can scare them to death..."

"Stop it, you weren’t that faint-hearted before, were you?"

"The one who could have been scared to death isn’t me..."

Duan Xian: "???"
