The Xu family went bankrupt, and Xu Yao was heavily indebted. Everyone said that her rich fiancé Shen Yan was Xu Yao's last straw.
Three years later, Xu Yao, however, proactively propose...
206: Learned skills from Xu Yao
Wen Yiyi aspires to become Xu Yao.
This was the most ridiculous thing Gu Jun had heard this year.
Wen Yiyi didn't argue with Gu Jun. She asked Gu Jun if he was in a bad mood.
"Did you have a fight with Xu Yao?"
Gu Jun was always in a good mood every time he came to the Wen family, except this time, even Wen Yiyi could see that he was in a bad mood.
Gu Jun glanced at Wen Yiyi coldly, then carefully placed the bag in his hand into the trunk.
Wen Yiyi bit her lip. "I haven't quarreled with Aunt Lin for a long time. I'm really changing. I asked if you and Xu Yao had a quarrel. I didn't mean to sow discord between you and your wife. I wanted to advise you to be more considerate of her. I saw that she was really tired of filming videos to update her account content while live streaming to sell goods..."
Wen Yiyi kept on chattering, but Gu Jun turned a deaf ear to her and started the car and left without any hesitation.
Wen Yiyi watched Gu Jun's car leave before entering the house.
Wen Yiyi did not go home empty-handed, she brought a gift for Lin Meixian.
"Aunt Lin, I ran into Gu Jun at the door. He seemed to be in a bad mood."
Lin Meixian said indifferently: "Yiyi, just live your life well. The person you should care about is Chen Yan, not Gu Jun."
Wen Yiyi was not angry either. "It is indeed time to resolve the matter between Shen Yan and me. I came home this time just to talk to Dad about breaking off the engagement with Shen Yan."
Lin Meixian was surprised: "Are you serious?"
Wen Yiyi nodded: "I have wanted to cancel the engagement since the last class reunion. I am also afraid that I have endured it for so long because of impulse. After this period of calmness, I have figured it out. I can accept that Chen Yan was engaged to Xu Yao before, but I can't accept that he would abandon me at the critical moment. The matter is small but serious. If he can abandon me now because he feels embarrassed, will he share the hardships with me in the future when I encounter a crisis?"
Lin Meixian was used to Wen Yiyi's nagging and quarreling, so she was really surprised to see how coherently she spoke.
Lin Meixian is Wen Yiyi's stepmother and cannot help her decide on her marriage, so she called Wen Zhicheng back.
Wen Zhicheng has been busy with the project introduced by Lin Meixian recently. When he heard that Wen Yiyi wanted to cancel the engagement, he scolded her for making trouble.
Wen Yiyi remained silent even after being scolded by Wen Zhicheng. Tired of scolding, Wen Zhicheng drank some tea to soothe his throat: "You know you're in the wrong, but you don't dare to talk back?"
"Why would I talk back? It will only make you angrier and won't solve anything."
Wen Yiyi's performance surprised Wen Zhicheng.
Wen Zhicheng suspected that Wen Yiyi had taken the wrong medicine, but Wen Yiyi said that she had followed his advice: "Didn't you ask me to learn from Xu Yao? I've been watching Xu Yao's live broadcasts and other videos she's recorded every day recently. I thought about it carefully and realized that she really doesn't like to argue with people. It seems that arguing is useless."
Wen Yiyi has discovered that men don't like women who make a lot of noise.
This is true for Xu Yao, and even more so for Lin Meixian.
With a ready-made example of success in front of her, Wen Yiyi studied with a more serious attitude than when she was in school, and it turned out to be quite effective during this period.
Wen Yiyi's experiment was with the employees of Shengshi. Previously, Wen Yiyi, believing herself to be the boss, was accustomed to speaking to them in a domineering manner, unconcerned with whether they liked her or not. Recently, Wen Yiyi simply changed her tone when speaking to employees, and soon reaped unexpected benefits. After a few afternoon teas she'd treated them to, the receptionist told her that a newly signed female anchor was being dishonest. Whenever Wen Yiyi wasn't at the office, she'd frequently visit Chen Yan's office.
Chen Yan didn't do anything to offend Wen Yiyi, but the female anchor had two different faces in front of Wen Yiyi and Shen Yan, and her tone when speaking to Chen Yan was so coquettish!
Wen Yiyi told this to Wen Zhicheng, who was puzzled: "Just for such a small matter, you want to cancel the engagement? You said it was the female anchor who was dishonest and wanted to stick to Chen Yan, and Chen Yan didn't do anything!"
Wen Yiyi shook her head: "I'm not talking about this little thing. I just found that Xu Yao is really good at doing things and being a person. She would rather sell powder puffs for a few dollars than marry Shen Yan. Doesn't this prove that Shen Yan has a big problem?"
Wen Zhicheng was completely shocked.
Wen Yiyi was right about one thing. If she continued to make a fuss like before, Wen Zhicheng might not listen to her even if she said the same thing. He would just think of Wen Yiyi as a noisy little girl.
Wen Zhicheng was very moved when Wen Yiyi said these words without making a fuss.
Yiyi, has she learned to think on her own?
Of course, Wen Zhicheng wouldn't agree to break off the engagement so easily. He made a request to Wen Yiyi: "Don't just talk like Xu Yao, and don't try to break off the engagement like Xu Yao. Learn how Xu Yao does things. If you can package yourself into an internet celebrity, I will agree to break off the engagement."
Wen Yiyi's eyes lit up, "Dad, do you keep your word?"
"Of course it counts!"
Wen Yiyi and Wen Zhicheng immediately agreed on specific criteria. After all, there are thousands of internet celebrities, and how can they judge whether she wins or loses without any criteria?
After talking with Wen Yiyi, Wen Zhicheng had a good appetite when eating.
Lin Meixian had someone open a bottle of red wine: "Yiyi seems to have really grown up a lot. I'll have a couple of drinks with you to celebrate."
After two glasses of red wine, Wen Zhicheng was a little tipsy. He held Lin Meixian's hand and said emotionally, "A girl's growth is inseparable from the positive guidance of female elders. Meixian, this is all thanks to you. I have always known that you are a good mother and a good wife, but we were not destined to be husband and wife at that time. I carefully hid my love for you in my heart... I know that saying this may be offensive to Qinghua, but I really have admired you for many years!"
After the words were spoken, Wen Zhicheng felt a little regretful.
He knew that Lin Meixian would not like such a "secret love". After all, he and Xu Qinghua were very good friends at that time, and his secret love was just coveting his good friend's wife.
Unexpectedly, Lin Meixian just smiled and said, "There's nothing offensive about it. We did get together three years after Qinghua passed away. If he wants to blame me when he sees me a hundred years later, he can only blame me for not being strong enough to spend the rest of my life alone."
Wen Zhicheng is right.
When Xu Qinghua was still alive, Wen Zhicheng always behaved well and did not cross the line.
After Xu Qinghua's death, it was Lin Meixian who couldn't resist Wen Zhicheng's courtesy and care. Xu Qinghua can blame her if he wants to.
Lin Meixian looked at Wen Zhicheng with gentle and focused eyes, and felt a hint of guilt when she mentioned Xu Qinghua.
Wen Zhicheng's brain was hot.
People are greedy.
Wen Zhicheng only wanted to be with Lin Meixian before, but after they were together, he wanted Lin Meixian to have only him in her heart.
Xu Qinghua has been dead for so long, and Wen Zhicheng also feels that it is about time.
"When you meet him a hundred years later, he won't have the right to blame you. When he disappeared on the high seas, Wang Kui called him a coward, and I actually wanted to join Wang Kui in scolding him. He just abandoned the mess and died without thinking about how you and Xu Yao would live in the future... Meixian, do you know why Qinghua disappeared on the high seas?"
