67 "I miss you."

"How could that be? Look at what you said, I just haven't seen you for a long time and I miss you!"

"Over the years, there were countless opportunities for her to come visit me, but none of them came. It's a coincidence that my grandma remembered me right after she gave me the villa."

My aunt was there on the day the old lady passed away, but she didn't have the chance to talk to Meng Liyue. Today, when she faced her alone, she realized that she was very different from before.

Become more direct and sharp, and no longer timid and cowardly.

"Doesn't Aunt also have to take care of your cousin? I never found the time. It's only now that he's in college that I have time to come and visit..."

"So you see now? I'm doing fine, there's nothing to say, so please go back."

Meng Liyue was about to close the door when her aunt hurriedly stopped her and said, "Why don't you invite me in to sit down?"

"No, we're not familiar with each other. My family doesn't like strangers to visit us."

"...Heh, Huixian is right. You were taught badly by your mother. You have this attitude even when you see your own aunt. Be careful or you will suffer in the future!"

Meng Liyue was not surprised at all when the face in front of her changed from pretending to be friendly to being mean.

She said nonchalantly, "We'll talk about it when we suffer a loss. Anyway, I can afford it."

Seeing that she didn't give him any face, the aunt's eyes became more sinister: "Okay, then I'll be frank. You can't live in the house your grandma gave you by yourself. Why don't you sell it to me..."

Meng Liyue refused without even thinking: "Impossible, there is no such thing as a free lunch."

The aunt rolled her eyes and said, "I'm not asking for it for free. I just asked you to give me a discount. After all, you didn't spend much money, so you're making a profit!"

"Okay." Meng Liyue crossed her arms and became interested. "I want to know, how much are you going to give me?"

"One price, three million!"

Meng Liyue smiled angrily.

"The renovation alone cost more than three million. Do you really want to get something for nothing? Do you think I'm a fool?"

"You think three million is too little? That's how much you earn a year. It's enough for you to earn for more than ten years..."

"So what? I don't care about the money."

Her former relatives spared no effort to belittle her: "Do you know how much it costs to maintain a villa every year? It's not you..."

“We can afford any more!”

Meng Liyue just noticed that the elevator door had opened at some point, and Li Mu was not far away. She finally couldn't bear it anymore and walked over quickly.

She always dresses simply, yet exudes nobility. The jade bracelet on her wrist, which is of extremely fine water, might be worth more than one house.

Li's mother came straight to Meng Liyue's side, with undisguised contempt in her eyes: "You Xu family are so arrogant that you are still worried that my daughter-in-law can't afford a villa?"

My aunt was instantly shocked by her aura and began to stutter: "We are just discussing something, why are you so angry?"

"You can't live here anyway..."

"It doesn't matter whether you live there or not. That villa already belongs to my daughter-in-law. Go back and tell anyone in the Xu family not to even think about taking it!"

Knowing that there was nothing good to gain today, Aunt Xu could only leave in disgrace. After the people left, Li's mother held Meng Liyue's hand and asked, "Are you not scared?"

She shook her head obediently: "It's okay."

"Fu Zheng told me in advance that he was going abroad and asked me to come and see more often. Sure enough, I arrived just in time!"

There was a gleam of light in Meng Liyue's pupils: "Did he tell you this on purpose?"

Ms. Shen squinted her eyes and said, "He is very worried. It is good to be married. He knows how to love his wife. I have never seen him care about anyone so much before!"

Because of these words, Meng Liyue couldn't help but feel secretly happy. She was very happy, but she wanted to pretend to be a little calm. However, the curve of her mouth corners revealed all her thoughts.

"You must be bored at home. Your mother is busy with renovations these two days and doesn't have time. Go shopping with your aunt!"

Meng Ying planned to open a small pub. Although she gave birth to a daughter who couldn't drink, she herself was an expert in wine tasting and cocktail mixing. Now that she had no pressure, she planned to fulfill her wish.

Meng Liyue couldn't refuse, so she had to follow him.

Ms. Shen took her straight to SKP and saw some nice clothes and jewelry, so she wanted to buy them for her. Meng Liyue was a little embarrassed: "Auntie, can I pay for it myself?"

"How can I let you pay? And you are so polite to me!"

"No...anyway..."

Meng Liyue slowly took out Li Fuzheng's salary card: "You can use his."

The mother covered her mouth and was even happier: "Okay, he is quite good at it now."

However, she still saved money for her son. In the end, she still paid the bill, carrying a lot of bags and going to a Cantonese restaurant again.

After the meal, Ms. Shen was full of energy and even asked Meng Liyue to go to the beauty salon.

"Auntie, I have to go to work tomorrow."

"Oops, I almost forgot. I'll take you home first!"

When they reached the basement, before Meng Liyue got out of the car, Ms. Shen teased her again, "You and Fuzheng should find time to hold your wedding as soon as possible. I can't wait to hear you call me mom!"

"......Yeah." Meng Liyue agreed with a blushing face.

After she returned home, Ms. Shen sent a message to Li Fuzheng who was far away in Paris: "Yueyue is so cute, you are so lucky!"

Li Fuzheng, who still had one day to return, opened the message and looked at his WeChat which had been silent for several hours. He sat on the bed in the hotel with an increasingly gloomy expression.

Meng Liyue had just arrived home and hadn't even had time to change her clothes when her voice phone rang. She answered it immediately: "Hello?"

"It's fun."

The deep tone of voice made Meng Liyue's heart tremble involuntarily, and she explained: "I went out to play with my aunt. I felt that it was not good to keep looking at the phone with her, so I didn't send you a message."

The woman's voice was soft and gentle as she explained, with an inexplicable hint of coquettishness. Li Fuzheng's voice suddenly became hoarse: "So, you had a good time?"

"Well, I bought a lot of things. I wanted to use your card, but Auntie wouldn't let me."

"It's okay. She has money. She will be unhappy if you don't give her money."

Meng Liyue smiled and asked, "What about you? What are you doing?"

At this time, it was only three o'clock in the afternoon in Paris.

"Hotel, lie down." Li Fuzheng's tone was lazy and casual.

"Aren't you going out for a walk?"

"I'll go later."

The long distance between us brings with it many uncertainties besides missing each other.

At a certain moment, Meng Liyue wanted to ask him, is it just him, or will he also...

But I held it back again.

I feel like asking this shows that I don't trust him.

"Yueyue." Li Fuzheng sighed softly and said to himself, "Why didn't I realize that business trips are so hard to endure before?"

It seemed that he had thought it over carefully before he said solemnly, "I miss you."
