52 "Fire in the backyard."
Since Lou Huaizhi was equipped with the Boeing 777, China Airlines has basically arranged to use it for international flights because it is a large wide-body aircraft. For almost half a month, he was in charge of European routes.
I finally flew to Melbourne and had a few days to rest, so I called Meng Liyue.
Hearing his suggestion, Meng Liyue's conscious reaction was: "Is my mother coming?"
Lou Huaizhi's tone was calm, and there was no sign of anything unusual: "Come on, I've already called Auntie."
"Okay, see you then."
The place he chose was a restaurant where his father used to eat often before he passed away. Meng Liyue hadn't been there for some time.
When she reached the door and saw the familiar sign, she felt nostalgic.
All I can say is that there are too many unpredictable changes in life, and all we can do is cherish the present.
Meng Liyue was about to go in when her phone vibrated in her pocket. She took it out and saw a message from Li Fuzheng: "Just landed, the next trip has been cancelled."
After he returned to Hecheng, he was supposed to fly to Guangzhou, but due to the Guangzhou thunderstorm warning, the airline had canceled the flight.
Meng Liyue simply said to him: "I'm not at home right now, do you want to come and have dinner with us?"
"Who are they?"
"My mother."
Meng Liyue hesitated for a moment and added: "Luo Huaizhi."
Li Fuzheng had already eaten on the plane when he came back. Thinking that Meng Liyue had an appointment, he simply went to the gym.
But when he saw Lou Huaizhi's name, Li Fuzheng's cheeks tensed up instantly as he sat in the crew car, as if he had a grudge against his phone. He typed so hard that he almost poked the screen: "Address."
Fitness, what else?
An emotion that he couldn't control instantly ignited a raging fire in his heart.
Another trip was canceled directly. Everyone in the crew car was happily discussing what to do later, but Li Fuzheng had the coldest expression and the air pressure all over his body was very low.
The two co-pilots sitting behind him were already whispering to each other. The second officer said, "Isn't our captain so poor that he cares about the hourly rate for this trip?"
"What are you thinking about? How much are you paid and how much is he paid?"
"Then why do you feel like you're not happy after leaving get off work early?"
The co-pilot spit at him: "Are you stupid? Is Zheng unhappy because of work? It's obviously because of his personal life!"
"Oh, I see. It must be my sister-in-law who had a quarrel with him... I just heard that my sister-in-law is the approach control. I wonder which one it is?"
“The one with the best sound is it!”
Li Fuzheng didn't pay attention to what they were talking about. When the crew car arrived, he got off immediately, drove his Land Rover, and quickly went to the restaurant whose address Meng Liyue had sent him.
After sending the address to Li Fuzheng, Meng Liyue wanted to wait for her mother to go into the restaurant together and call her, but she suddenly said, "Hey, I have something to do here, I can't come!"
"What's the matter?"
"It's Xu Dejin, this shameless guy, who actually has the guts to come to me!"
Meng Liyue frowned: "Why did he come to you again?"
"Hmph, there was a fire in his backyard, and he came to ask me what happened."
It turned out that after Xu Moti apologized in her circle of friends, she went home and questioned her mother about what happened back then and who was the shameful mistress.
For so many years, Xu Moti had been kept in the dark and regarded Meng Liyue and her daughter as enemies who had destroyed his family's happiness.
She couldn't accept what Meng Liyue said, so she wanted to get a sufficiently definite and affirmative answer from her mother.
Naturally, Xu's mother refused to admit it.
She had always told Xu Moti that it was Meng Ying who tried to steal her husband. Now that her daughter was questioning the truth, she simply smashed things at home, cried and went crazy, and swore all kinds of things.
Xu Moti's original doubts were dispelled a little.
But the seed of doubt had already sprouted, and she went to ask Xu Dejin what had happened.
In order to maintain peace for the time being, Xu Dejin would not admit the truth. He came to Meng Ying only to discuss things with her and begged her and her daughter not to talk about related matters again in the future.
"He still has the nerve to tell me not to mention the past. How funny! I didn't write big-character posters about what he did and put them everywhere because I don't want to be trapped by the past anymore. I'm too lazy to argue with him. How can he have the qualifications?"
Meng Liyue was also a little annoyed. Although she had gone from admiring her father to hating him now, she was completely disappointed.
But Xu Dejin's blatant favoritism still made her a little sad.
She took a breath and comforted him, "It's okay, don't bother with him."
"Originally I was too lazy to deal with him anymore, but he had to come to me and ask for a scolding. I'm going to make Xu Dejin suffer a lot today!"
"Then please take care of yourself..."
Ms. Meng hung up the phone. Meng Liyue shook her head and had to go into the restaurant by herself.
Unexpectedly, Lou Huaizhi had arrived early.
The man in the grey shirt sat down and smiled gently: "Where's Auntie?"
"She has something to do and can't come."
"It's okay, we can both eat it."
Lou Huaizhi handed the menu to Meng Liyue: "Let's take a look at the old ones, or try their new ones."
"Same old style."
Meng Liyue is a very nostalgic person who doesn't want too many changes. It always takes a long time to prepare herself mentally to try new things.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have insisted on liking Li Fuzheng for so many years. Even getting news from him was a luxury. The long distance between them couldn't drown her heart.
"How are you doing lately? I heard the weather is still not very good."
"It's always like this in the summer. It rains all the time."
Lou Huaizhi looked at her: "What else?"
"What else?"
"How is life? Are you happy?"
Meng Liyue nodded without thinking: "I'm happy."
I have never been so happy. Every day when I wake up, there are wonderful things to look forward to besides work.
Because there are so many talented people participating in the expedition, there are surprises everywhere.
"Is that so... That's good. Aunt Meng used to worry about you, but now that you're married, she can rest assured."
Lou Huaizhi sighed and changed the subject, talking about some recent industry rumors.
"If you can really fly three days and rest three days, you can relax a little bit."
“I don’t know if it can be implemented.”
After chatting for a while, Lou Huaizhi suddenly stared at her, and after a moment, he stretched out his hand: "Here."
"ah?"
"There's something dirty."
He was ready to help her remove it.
Meng Liyue reacted instinctively and was about to dodge, but at this moment, a tall and straight man in her sight strode towards her with a cold face and a domineering aura.
