By the time Mei Mengzhen got in the car, night had already fallen, and when the three of them returned to Xincheng Auntie's house, it was well past 9 o'clock.
At this hour, the three of them still hadn't eaten dinner yet.
Since it was already late, the younger ones didn't want to trouble Auntie to cook, so Fan Tianyu voluntarily bought a bunch of snacks downstairs before coming up.
The whole family sat around eating barbecue, chatting about Mei Yongan and Mei Yifan's situation, laughing and gossiping just like they would back in their dorm—no sense at all that these people were actually their relatives.
Even though Mei Mengzhen had already heard most of the story from her brother, she wasn't about to throw him under the bus, so she just listened quietly, feeding bites here and there to her brother who was glued to her side.
