Chapter 510 Inferiority

  Lan Shu doesn't care if Lan Xinya is angry or not.

  As soon as she got the house, she handed over the house to the charity organization that she led to set up, and used the house as a relief station for the charity organization.

   And promised that even if this house is demolished in the future, it will continue to build relief stations in other places according to the demolition area.

  With her words, not long after, no one knows who spread the word, and Lan Shu gained the title of a philanthropist again.

  Lan Shu didn't care about these false names, but when Lan Xinya heard that the house she almost got finally fulfilled Lan Shu's good name, she was so angry that her chest hurt!

  At first, Lan Xinya didn't care about it, but then she started to have chest pain every now and then.

   In desperation, Lan Xinya had to go to the hospital for examination.

  After a series of inspections, Lan Xinya got a piece of news that broke her—

   "You said I had breast cancer??"

  Any illness with the word cancer is quite serious.

  For a while, Lan Xinya couldn't help but howled in front of the doctor!

   Even the doctor was frightened by this scene. Fortunately, the doctor recovered quickly and explained immediately, "Don't worry, as long as you treat it well, breast cancer won't kill anyone."

  After hearing this, Lan Xinya stopped crying.

  But what she has to face next is the high cost of treatment...

  …

  The time has entered August, and the school will start in one month.

  Sixteen-year-old Gu Qingning is now a high school student, starting her second year of high school, and her academic performance is good.

   After school starts, her cousin Lan Juncheng will also enter her school and become a freshman in high school.

  In these years, Gu Qingning and his cousin have been supervising and improving each other on the piano at the beginning, and then they are also catching up with each other in learning.

  Lan Juncheng's academic performance is also good, but the piano teacher suggested that I hope he will not waste his good talent, and it is best to go to a music academy when he is in college.

  Lan Juncheng also has plans for this. He really likes playing the piano, so before he entered high school, he had already told Aunt Lan Shu about his thoughts.

  Lan Juncheng knows how important his aunt's words are in front of his parents. If his aunt agrees to pursue music, his parents should be able to talk about it.

  Of course Lan Shu will support Junjun's dream.

  As for the music school where Junjun University is going, she has already helped to find out in advance.

  Since you want to take this path, of course you should go to a school with more gold content.

  But there is no need to worry about these things now, Junjun is not yet old enough to go to college.

  In addition to Gu Qingning and Lan Juncheng, another friend of the two, Meng Dabao, has been working in the factory for almost two years now.

Sixteen-year-old Meng Dabao had been in poor health since he was a child and was not tall enough. In the past two years since he entered the factory, he sat next to the assembly line machines every day, doing piecework with his hands day after day. It was not easy to straighten my lower back.

  Meng Dabao, who was slightly hunchbacked, felt even more inferior and dared not appear in front of his two friends.

  So in the past two years, Meng Dabao alienated Gu Qingning and Lan Juncheng.

   Outside of work, he seems to have returned to the autistic mentality he had when he was a child.

   Fortunately, Meng Dabao also has a younger sister, so that whenever he thinks about it, he feels warm in his heart.

  Meng Dabao's younger sister, Meng Xiaoxiao, will be seven and a half years old this year.

  The little girl is smart and is already in the first grade of elementary school.

   What makes Meng Dabao most proud is that her younger sister managed to score 100% in the school exam!

  Scores like this were unattainable for Meng Dabao when he was a child.

  My younger sister is very close to Meng Dabao, and she doesn't dislike him for not being smart at all.

  Meng Dabao is a fool, and he realized this himself after he entered the factory to work.

  Since then, Meng Dabao no longer has his own future in his heart, and all he thinks about is his younger sister.

  His only wish is to watch his sister grow up and become better and better.

  Maybe I am not qualified to stand beside my friends, but my sister will definitely be able to stand tall in the future, not as ordinary and humble as myself...

  …

  This summer vacation, Gu Qingning and Lan Juncheng first spent a week writing their vacation homework, then practiced the piano for a few days, and were invited to give a piano performance in the auditorium.

  After they finished their work, they rested for a few days to relax, and thought of going to see Meng Dabao.

  Because they usually have to go to class and Meng Dabao has to work, the two sides seldom communicate.

   But that doesn't mean they'll forget the playmates they played with when they were kids.

  Gu Qingning and Lan Juncheng have always regarded Meng Dabao as friends, even though Meng Dabao decided not to go to school, go to work early, did not listen to their persuasion at all, and even got angry with them, but they still would not really get angry with Meng Dabao.

   It had been raining for the past few days, but today the rain stopped and the weather was fine, so Gu Qingning asked his cousin Lan Juncheng to go see Meng Dabao.

  The two did not let the family driver drive, but each rode a bicycle, and soon arrived at the gate of the factory where Meng Dabao worked.

  It was approaching noon, and soon it was time to get off work. Gu Qingning took out her mobile phone and made a call to Meng Dabao's pager.

  In 1998, not too few people used mobile phones in big cities, and pagers were a must-have communication device for most people.

  The wages of workers have been higher every year, but the price of pagers has not increased much. Therefore, for a person like Meng Dabao who has been working for two years, he can afford to buy and use pagers.

  In the factory, Meng Dabao's beeper hanging around his waist rang. He stopped his work, took a look, and saw a series of familiar numbers.

   This is Gu Qingning calling him.

   Qingning wants to find herself?

  When Meng Dabao thought of this, his first reaction was to call back.

  But the next second, he hesitated again.

  Qing Ning also contacted her several times before, asking her to go out to play, but Meng Dabao always refused her on the excuse of being busy with work and not having a vacation.

  Meng Dabao felt that he would feel inferior in front of his friends, so he should not contact Qingning and Junjun, right?

  But when Meng Dabao got off work and walked out of the factory, he still saw Gu Qingning and Lan Juncheng smiling brightly at him at the factory gate.

   "Let me just say, Dabao must not be off work yet, that's why he didn't return your call." Lan Juncheng said to Cousin Qingning from the side.

  Gu Qingning nodded, thinking that this should be the case, and then she called out to Meng Dabao, "Dabao, let's have lunch together~!"

   Friends haven’t seen each other for a long time, of course we have to sit down and have a meal together.

   Seeing Gu Qingning, he smiled happily and said, even though Meng Dabao had decided to stay away from his friends in the future, at this moment, he still couldn't help but nodded.

   "Okay, let's eat together!"

  The haze in his heart was swept away, and Meng Dabao also laughed from the bottom of his heart.
