The old man's resounding and extremely derogatory scolding was like lighting a fuse.
The atmosphere in the living room suddenly changed from great tension to incomparable relaxation, one could even say it was jubilant!
Aunt Yan Meijuan immediately stepped forward, took Liu Rumeng's hand, patted it gently, and smiled: "Mengmeng! It's right to listen to your grandfather!
Forget about this kind of person!
Forget it completely!
Just think of it as being bitten by a mad dog on the roadside!
What is the current status of our Mengmeng?
The strongest contender for Miss Hong Kong, all the men in Hong Kong Island are crazy about you, even Mr. Huo is obsessed with you! "
“Yes, yes, yes!”
My second aunt, Li Meifeng, also came over, her bright red lips moving as she spoke rapidly, "Mengmeng, it would be a blessing for God to get rid of this useless piece of mud as soon as possible!
So as to avoid being dragged down by him in the future!
Your good days are yet to come!
Take a long-term view!
Don't even think about those lower-class scumbags anymore!"
As the eldest grandson, Guo Fuyou also spoke at the right time, his tone carrying the maturity and concern of someone who had experienced it: "Cousin Rumeng, don't be sad.
It’s a good thing that this Lin guy revealed his true identity!
Stopping losses in time will be a blessing for you and your family!
You should be more open-minded. With your talent and beauty, there are countless good families in Hong Kong Island vying for you. You will marry into the Huo family in the future..."
Guo Jingan said half-jokingly and half-seriously with a smile: "That's right! Cousin, a blessing in disguise.
Only when you are free from this mainland bumpkin can you prepare to be Madam Huo with peace of mind!
That’s the Huo family!
The real top wealthy family in Hong Kong Island!
From now on, you will be the pride of our Guo family, and we will all benefit from you!
Sad for that rotten guy?
It’s too cheap!”
Guo Fuzhu also nodded and agreed: "That's right, cousin, it's not worth it for that kind of scum!
As long as our family keeps this a secret, you can marry into the Huo family easily. Then you can get whatever you want, and all the women in Hong Kong will envy you to death!
This is the life you should be living!"
Everyone was talking at once and the atmosphere was very excited.
Everyone's face was filled with genuine joy, relief, and comfort, as if Lin Huowang's self-degradation was a great blessing for the Guo family.
Voices disparaging Lin Huowang rose one after another, comparing him to dog shit, mud, rat, lowly embryo, and bumpkin...
He was extremely harsh and at the same time extremely flattering in describing Liu Rumeng's future as the young lady of the Huo family.
The entire living room instantly turned into a criticism meeting against Lin Huowang and a meeting to look forward to Liu Rumeng's bright future.
There was only one person who did not join in this "joyful" clamor from beginning to end.
That was Liu Rumeng's mother, Guo Linxian, sitting quietly in the shadow beside the sofa, with the photo album in her hand completely closed and placed on her lap.
Her eyes, which were somewhat similar to Liu Rumeng's, looked quietly at her daughter across the noisy Guo family.
The sadness, disappointment, shame and anger on the daughter's face... were performed so realistically.
Guo Linxian's face did not show the joy of other family members, but was instead shrouded in a lingering cloud of suspicion.
Her sharp eyes repeatedly roamed over Liu Rumeng's forcedly sad face, trying to catch the slight unnaturalness hidden under the sad expression.
That guy named Lin Huowang...
Lin Huowang, who was able to write "Facing the Sea, Spring Flowers Blooming", "A Generation" and "Scars".
Guo Linxian's gaze passed through the noisy living room, and she seemed to see the figure carrying a hunting rifle in the cold wind of Northeast China again.
She remembered hearing her daughter Liu Rumeng say that Lin Huowang was in the Linjiagou Production Brigade in Northeast China. He went from being a cripple who was ostracized and despised by the whole village to becoming the spiritual leader of the entire village in just a few months.
With such a raging forest fire, will people really be blinded by the glamorous world of Hong Kong Island?
…
As if feeling her mother's gaze, Liu Rumeng's eyelashes trembled and soon drooped.
Until Guo Linxian walked up lightly, grabbed her daughter Liu Rumeng's hand and asked, "Mengmeng! Look into your eyes. Is what you just said true? Has Lin Huowang really become so unbearable?"
"Mom, people change."
Liu Rumeng felt a little guilty, but she still insisted on acting sincerely, using a metaphor, "It's like the moon over Hong Kong Island. It looks bright, but what it shines on is ultimately a mountain of gold made of money.
Before this, Lin Huowang had always grown up and lived in the mainland, so naturally he had never heard of or been exposed to the glamorous life of Hong Kong Island.
Once he has experienced it, how could he possibly come back to live with me, a woman who can't have children?
Maybe he really found some good opportunity, and he doesn't even care about our Guo family's assets and power.
I…I can’t persuade him no matter what I do. It seems that this is fate, and our relationship really can only go this far.”
"That's right! Mengmeng, when this kind of fate ends, it's over. A new fate will naturally come."
Guo Zhiming suddenly raised his voice.
He pinched the legs of his gold-rimmed glasses, the ecstasy in his eyes still lingering, but with a touch of cruelty, he said to Yan Meijuan beside him:
"This bastard deserves to rot in the mud!
Sister-in-law, please accompany Rumeng to Baolian Monastery tomorrow to light a long-burning lamp to get rid of bad luck!"
…
Everyone in the Guo family was in high spirits, as if it was New Year's Day.
However, Guo Jingzhu, who had been pretending to be invisible in the corner of the sofa, sneezed.
She rubbed her nose and stole a glance at her cousin Liu Rumeng, whose acting skills were so strong. For some reason, her mind suddenly recalled the cup of cloyingly sweet rose tea in Villa No. 3 in Repulse Bay.
And during the few hours that I was asleep, what did Mr. Kobayashi and my cousin Liu Rumeng say and do in the tea room?
Why would my cousin lie and say that she had just gone to see her ex-husband Lin Huowang at this time?
And she deliberately spoke so badly of her ex-husband?
At this moment, big, confusing questions popped up one after another in Guo Jingzhu's little head.
