Wen Qiao didn't know what was going on between Wu Jiandong and Li Sumei, but judging from Wu Suwei's unusual behavior, she guessed that Wu Jiandong and Li Sumei must have had a serious argument.
Lu Yazhi said, "She didn't come back, but she called home and said that business was going well over there. She was thinking of expanding her business and making more money before coming back."
"Xiao Wei has been having some emotional issues lately because of his parents' situation. In the last exam, he went from being in the top three in his class to being in the twenties. He even failed math. Math is usually one of his strong points. I think it's probably because of his parents that he's been affected."
“Jiandong is planning to go to the south to find Li Sumei. He mentioned it to us at dinner yesterday, but we don’t know when he will go.”
Wen Qiao hummed in agreement.
She thought to herself, "Luckily, I didn't lend money to Li Sumei back then."
It's one thing for Li Sumei not to give him the money, but if she takes the money and goes looking for more outside, then... wouldn't he be blamed by Wu Jiandong?
In October of the same year, taking advantage of the holiday, Wu Jiandong asked for three more days off and went to the south.
He went to find Li Sumei.
Wu Jiandong first went to Li Xue, a classmate of Li Sumei who was on good terms with her, and got an address from her before heading straight to the southern city.
Arriving in the South for the first time, Wu Jiandong was completely bewildered by the dazzling wealth and prosperity. The development of the South was just too good!
This train station is so tall and spacious.
Wu Jiandong, carrying his things, looked like a country bumpkin.
Just as he was about to ask someone for directions, he suddenly heard someone call his name.
"Wu Jiandong, Brother Wu."
Wu Jiandong turned around and looked at the people around him, but he couldn't see who had called him...
"It's me, Su Mei."
Wu Jiandong's gaze fell on a woman wearing a blue business suit. He looked at her carefully before daring to recognize her.
"Su Mei, are you Su Mei? Um...."
Su Mei said gracefully, "Xia Mingxuan is my ex-husband, and I am Xia Keke's mother. I went to the Wu family because of Xia Mingxuan's matter. At that time, the old lady of the Wu family was still alive. Once, it was raining heavily, and I was forced to get soaked outside with my child. It was Brother Wu who gave me an umbrella."
Seeing the bewildered look in Wu Jiandong's eyes, Su Mei smiled.
“You must have forgotten, but I’ve always remembered. That umbrella gave me dignity.”
"I was surprised when I saw you. Didn't you work at Beicheng Hospital? You didn't quit your job and come to the south to do business, did you?"
Upon hearing Su Mei's words, Wu Jiandong's memory returned, and he could only remember that Su Mei was Xia Mingxuan's ex-wife.
Xia Mingxuan is his aunt's husband.
However, they are now divorced. Xia Mingxuan initiated the divorce, and Wu Jiandong is too lazy to care about his aunt's fate.
Naturally, this also meant forgetting about Su Mei, who was related to Xia Mingxuan.
Wu Jiandong explained, "I'm here in the south on a business trip. I'll be back in a few days."
Su Mei's eyes held a hint of intelligence, but she didn't point it out.
Instead, he said, "Brother Wu, if you don't have a place to stay, I'll arrange it for you. I run a clothing factory here and often arrange accommodation and meals for guests. If you trust me, just leave it to me."
Upon hearing this, Wu Jiandong, who was already indecisive, immediately said, "Then I'll trouble you, Comrade Su Mei. Just pay whatever it costs."
Su Mei chuckled.
"Brother Wu, you're too kind. Even if it's just for Wen Qiao's sake, I wouldn't ignore you if I saw you."
Su Mei always remembered Wen Qiao's help.
She also knew that Wu Jiandong and Wen Qiao were step-siblings.
Given this connection, if she saw it, she would help Wu Jiandong. Besides, when she went to the Wu family to ask to see Xia Mingxuan back then, Wu Jiandong was the only one who pitied her.
Su Mei had lived in Guangzhou for several years and was very familiar with the city. She asked Wu Jiandong where his workplace was and arranged for him to stay in a nearby hotel.
