Mr. Guo Letian twirled his beard and looked at the TV screen with cloudy eyes without saying much.
The huge influence brought by the "Japanese" Chinese businessman, whom he had disliked from the bottom of his heart, and the rapid rise in his granddaughter's status, aroused more complex and unspeakable emotions in his heart.
As dismissive as before? That's definitely impossible.
Moreover, some of the practical things that Kobayashi Tenmo has done recently have also impressed Mr. Guo, especially the "Home Ownership for All" plan, and the news clips from mainland China introduced by Asia Television in the past two days, which also won his heart very much.
Yan Meijuan, who was standing by, felt helpless as she saw her husband Guo Zhiqiang, who was so eager to help Liu Rumeng and get some benefits at the same time.
My husband is ambitious but lacks talent. He has no ability but is very ambitious. He has been struggling all his life. I really can't do anything about him.
I could only agree calmly, "Mengmeng has always been a strong-willed kid. But this is just the beginning, and TVB is not that easy to deal with. Fortunately, Mengmeng has Xiaolinsheng behind her..."
As Liu Rumeng's mother, Guo Linxian sat on the single sofa in the corner, listening to her family's discussions, but her eyes were a little distracted.
The cries of Pikachu on TV and the laughter of family members seemed to be separated by an invisible barrier.
She watched the programs broadcast on the TV station managed by her daughter on the screen, and her heart was full of contradictions.
I am proud, my daughter's ability is beyond doubt.
But the intricate relationship with Lin Huowang, the shadow brought by the past, and especially the identity of "Xiao Lin Tianwang"... were like a heavy stone pressing on her heart.
With a "crash", the door to the living room was pushed open.
The discussion in the living room suddenly stopped. Everyone looked at the door in astonishment.
Liu Rumeng, dressed in a professional suit but looking a little tired but still radiant, walked in.
"Mengmeng?!"
Guo Zhiqiang was the first to react. He practically pounced on him, his face filled with anxiety as he demanded, "You...why are you back? You should be at Repulse Bay No. 3, accompanying Xiao Linsheng at this hour! It's such a crucial moment, and Xiao Linsheng just gave you so much authority. Asia Television is on a roll. Why are you back if you're not accompanying him and strengthening our relationship?"
Liu Rumeng was startled by her uncle's barrage of questions, then she smiled, a gentle and frank smile: "Uncle, I came back to prepare some things for tomorrow. Xiao Linsheng and I... after all, we're not married yet. I need to rest tonight, and besides... Ah Rong is over there with him."
"Arong?!"
Guo Zhiqiang's face instantly turned pale as if a palette had been overturned. Surprise, confusion, and finally, frustration, "Lü Ruirong? You...how can you be so confused! Mengmeng! Even though she's close to you now and you call her Ah Rong, people's hearts are always different!
If you let her stay with Xiao Linsheng, wouldn't that be inviting a wolf into the house? What if she uses some tricks in private, pretends to be gentle and considerate in front of Xiao Linsheng, and monopolizes his favor? What will you do in the future? This position is hard-earned, and so many people are watching it. How can you be so careless and so generous?!
The other members of the Guo family also showed expressions of approval or concern.
In Hong Kong Island, it is normal for the sons of wealthy families to be surrounded by beautiful women. To secure their position as wife or future mistress, they rely on their exclusive scheming and means.
The Guo family has been in Hong Kong for so many years since it moved from Shanghai. Naturally, everyone has become accustomed to the open and secret struggles within the major wealthy families. There are many examples of concubines defeating the mistress.
Therefore, when the elders of the Guo family saw that Liu Rumeng was so confident in letting Lu Ruirong accompany Xiaolin Tianwang, they suddenly felt uneasy.
However, Liu Rumeng's smile remained unchanged. She spoke calmly and confidently, "Uncle, you're worrying too much. I trust him. I also trust Ah Rong's character. She knows her limits. I still need to sort out some information. I have important arrangements at the TV station tomorrow, so I'll go back to my room first."
She had no intention of discussing this topic in depth with Guo Zhiqiang, so she turned and went upstairs.
As he watched Liu Rumeng's slender but resolute back disappear around the corner of the stairs, Guo Zhiqiang rubbed his hands anxiously, as if his treasure pot was about to be taken away by someone else.
He turned his head abruptly, his gaze fixed on Guo Linxian in the corner: "Little sister! Why don't you talk about her! Doesn't the mainland always advocate monogamy? How come Mengmeng's concept is similar to ours in Hong Kong Island... She's even more open-minded than her uncle and me?
This enthusiasm of actively helping her husband find a concubine... She can't feel fearless just because she is beautiful, men will get tired of her!
No matter how beautiful a flower is, it will become the same after looking at it for too long! Holding on to Xiaolinsheng is the right thing to do! This family, and her own future wealth, are all tied to this rope! "
It’s true that the emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is!
Guo Zhiqiang felt that as Liu Rumeng's dear uncle, how could he watch his niece being taken advantage of by another woman?
Since Liu Rumeng doesn't listen to me, I have to have a good talk with my younger sister Guo Linxian, and then let her talk to Liu Rumeng.
Upon hearing this, Guo Linxian raised her head, her face showing deep fatigue and an indescribable heaviness.
She looked at her elder brother, who had a face full of materialistic anxiety. There seemed to be a huge vortex hidden deep in his eyes that the other party could not understand.
She sighed, shook her head, and said, "Brother, please stop talking. Things are very complicated here. Mengmeng made her own choices, and she had her own... reasons. Since she chose to trust, let's... stop interfering. Let her be."
After saying that, she lowered her head, stopped talking, and continued to flip through the old photo album in her hand, her mind drifting to who knows where.
Guo Zhiqiang looked at his younger sister and the words in his mouth were blocked. He was left with only confusion and a lingering uneasiness.
