That's right, the two of them took advantage of the short time in the car to give Mei Mengchen a call, and Mei Mengchen was jealous as hell—how come everyone gets to hang out with his sister, but he has to stay stuck in Xincheng? Even with Auntie's care, not happy means not happy.
"Chenchen, Chenchen, Chenchen's ignoring his sister now—so heartbreaking!"
Mei Mengzhen was pretty good at playing the pity card. Honestly, if you looked past her bankbook and focused on other stuff, she really was pitiful. Plus, Mei Mengchen wasn't truly mad at her, so after a bit of pity-selling, he cooled off and started talking again.
"Sis, I'm not mad, just super jealous. Why does everyone get to be with you except me?"
"Hey, Chenchen, that was a pretty good word choice! Looks like someone's been paying attention in class. Did your kindergarten teacher teach you that?"
"Nope! But, sis, are you trying to change the subject right now? Chenchen's not falling for it."
