She quickly got up, washed up, and went outside, where she ran into Meng Suqin. Meng Suqin looked at her flushed face and raised an eyebrow.
This girl has bright, sparkling eyes and a charming expression; she seems to be very happy in her relationship.
"You're awake? Tingzhi went to work. He said he'll be very busy these next few days and might not even be back at night. He told us not to worry. Breakfast is in the kitchen, go eat it yourself!"
She knew about Gu Tingzhi's situation; she had told him about it last night. But when did this guy bring her back?
How come she didn't know anything about it?
Does Mom know she didn't come home last night?
Meng Fuyan smiled awkwardly, "Mom, Mom, when did you get up?"
Meng Suqin could tell at a glance who her daughter was. She smiled meaningfully and asked, "Do you want to know if I know when you came back?"
Meng Fuyan: "..."
Does it have to be this blunt?
She didn't have the chance to spend time with her mother after she grew up in her previous life, so she had no idea that her mother was so receptive!
Meng Suqin laughed and pushed her back into the room, then closed the door.
She glanced at Meng Fuyan's neck and, finding no marks, frowned. "Could it be that I guessed wrong, and nothing really happened between you two last night?"
Meng Fuyan: "..."
"Judging from this expression, something must have happened, but it didn't leave any trace."
Meng Fuyan didn't know what to say.
"Mom, aren't you worried about me?"
Meng Suqin thought for a moment and said, "According to conventional thinking, I should indeed be worried. After all, you're a girl, and I'm worried that you might be deceived, that you might have a relationship and then he might not want you anymore, and that you're no longer a young girl and it would be difficult for you to get married in the future. But, your mother has never had this kind of weak-willed thinking in her life. Your maternal grandparents were both from the battlefield, and they never taught me these things when I was young."
“If you were a girl from an ordinary family, I would definitely teach you to protect yourself and pay attention to your reputation, but… we’re not an ordinary family. You have a rich mother, and your mother has found you a capable father. If you get pregnant, you can have the baby if you want, since we can afford to raise it. If you don’t want to have the baby, then don’t. Or, if you don’t want to have the baby, then take precautions to avoid getting pregnant and to avoid harming your health.”
"If you want to marry him, then Mom will find a way to make him marry you. If you don't want to marry him, Mom will find a way to make him get out of here. If he dares to bully you, your dad will skin him alive. He may never reach your dad's level in his whole life. What are you afraid of? Just be happy!"
Meng Fuyan: "..."
That seems to make some sense.
Meng Suqin smiled and patted her daughter's hair, pinching her little face. "Don't be afraid, Mom isn't someone who doesn't know what's good for her. If Gu Tingzhi really had nothing to offer, do you think Mom would be able to stay here with a clear conscience? And not object to you two being together? If he weren't good enough, Mom would have already found a way to let you see a real good man."
Meng Fuyan: "..."
"Because I know my daughter has good taste and this person is worth dating, I'm not stopping her. As for you, as long as you're happy, that's all that matters. You're so young, and you have someone to support you, so don't be afraid of anything."
"Just remember, unless you want to have a child, then get pregnant. If you don't want to have a child, whether Gu Tingzhi wants a child or not is not within my consideration. I only care about whether you want to or not. If you don't want to, then take precautions to avoid getting pregnant. Don't worry about the rest."
Meng Fuyan leaned against Meng Suqin's chest. Although she was already taller than her mother, she still felt that her mother's embrace was the warmest place.
"Don't worry, our daughter will take good care of herself and will definitely not let herself suffer."
Meng Suqin nodded, "That's good. Do you know how to take precautions? Do you want Mom to teach you?"
Meng Fuyan almost burst out laughing. "No need, I understand."
Now that everything had been discussed, Meng Fuyan was no longer worried and went downstairs to have breakfast.
"Mom, I have something to tell you later."
Meng Suqin followed her daughter downstairs. At the dining table, Meng Fuyan asked, "Mom, I told you my plans last time. I don't care whether I go back to China or not. What about you? Are you going back? Or... are you bringing Yunji out?"
Meng Suqin thought for a moment and replied, "Let's bring Yunji out. We can't leave him alone in the country. He's still so young and needs to grow up with us."
Meng Fuyan hung her head, probably unable to answer. She hadn't told her mother yet that Yun Ji was with Lu Guozhong!
"Then... what about Dad? Mom, don't you have any plans at all? Are you going to stay single forever, or go back to Dad's side?"
This time, Meng Suqin remained silent.
After a long while, she finally spoke, "Your father has that woman by his side. That woman has a lot of connections. Your father should know her identity, but he's kept her here for so long. There must be a reason for it. What can I do if I go back?"
“He’s a workaholic. He has nothing on his mind but work. If there’s any need for that woman to stay, he’ll keep her even if I go back. That woman is my mortal enemy. It would be dangerous for me to go back.”
Meng Fuyan paused for a moment, then asked, "If Dad gets rid of that woman and there's no danger left, and if he still likes you and wants the family to be reunited, would you go back?"
Meng Suqin was stunned. She looked at her daughter and frowned. "Are you hiding something from me?"
Meng Fuyan lowered her head and nodded, "Yes, there is. Tell me first, do you still love Dad? Do you still want to be with him?"
Do you think Mom should be with him? Or, do you want me to be with him?
Meng Fuyan spoke frankly, "I don't care whether you're together or not. Anyway, I'm all grown up now. The important thing is whether you want to or not. I think if you still like him, it would be a pity if you didn't go back after missing so many years. You're both getting on in years. How much time do you have left to waste?"
“But if you don’t like him, then don’t even think about it. I’ll find a way to go back to China and bring Yunji out.”
This time, Meng Suqin remained silent for even longer, without saying a word.
Meng Fuyan didn't ask any more questions and quietly waited for her mother to figure things out.
It wasn't until after breakfast that Meng Suqin finally spoke, "I do like you... I do like you a little, but I won't do anything just because I like you. I have the two of you, and that's enough for me. I can't put you in danger because of him. If that woman finds out that you and Yunji are his children, she will definitely go crazy and want to kill you both."
“Our maternal grandparents passed away too early, leaving a gap in our family’s power. That woman’s older generation is still alive, and we can’t compete with her now.”
Meng Suqin is a competent businesswoman and a competent successor; reason always comes first.
Between men and children, she naturally cares more about the children she gave birth to.
Meng Fuyan understood.
"So that means if Dad resolves all these issues, you're still willing to go back, right?"
