Lu Xingye said, "I have never sided with my father. In fact, I have sided with you more. I am just calmly analyzing for you what you should do and what result you want. Then do what you want. If this marriage makes you suffer and you want a divorce, then there are ways to get a divorce. If you don't want a divorce, then there are ways not to get a divorce. You don't want a divorce but you don't live your life properly. You complain all day long. Why bother?"
"You have a knot in your heart, but you don't even have the courage to ask my dad about it. Yet you dare to argue with him and complain every day. Is that meaningful?"
Qin Qiongying angrily slapped Lu Xingye hard on the back, "What are you saying? Why does it all seem like it's my fault? And all you do is talk about divorce all the time. Do you really want me to divorce your father? What will happen to you brothers if we get divorced? Do you still want to get married?"
Lu Xingye was speechless. "Mom, you know you don't want a divorce, and you know it's not good for any of us. So why are you making such a fuss? It's not good for anyone."
The two couldn't reason with each other and were both quite angry.
However, no matter how angry Qin Qiongying was, she could only speak sarcastically and never dared to say anything openly to Lu Jianjun.
She never considered divorce. The Lu family's conditions and background were far superior to the Qin family's. Her three sons were all very promising. Lu Jianjun was now the director of a machinery factory. With that status and salary, the family was living too comfortably. She didn't want a divorce. If they did, Lu Jianjun would definitely find young women and have more children, and then her children would suffer.
She blamed her son for being reluctant to part with her, and she blamed her husband for not daring to make a scene openly. In the end, she could only vent all her anger on Meng Fuyan and Meng Yunji.
Meng Fuyan knew nothing about the Lu family's affairs. She and her younger brother prepared a table full of dishes at home, including chicken, fish, meat, and eggs. Meng Yunji was very excited, "Sister, will we live like this from now on? Can we live at home forever?"
Meng Fuyan told him about her future plans, saying that he was ten years old and it was time for him to know something about his family.
“Yunji, to tell you the truth, I may not stay here in the future. But wherever I go, I will take you with me. We have no enemies in Changning City, but our family is too well-off. Before, when Grandpa and Mom were alive, we could protect our family’s property. Now it’s much harder.”
“Sister needs to do bigger things and have more power so that we can protect everything our family has. Yunji, the Wu family must still have powerful backers. They originally came for everything the Meng family has. The people behind them will not give up. So, we must have even stronger enemies.”
"Sister, you still need to plan carefully about what to do in the future."
Meng Yunji understood and nodded, "I understand. Sister, you can do whatever you want. I just want to be with you. In two more years, when I'm older, I'll be able to take care of myself."
The siblings had a very happy New Year. The next morning, the family compound was bustling with activity as the children began exchanging New Year's greetings.
Meng Yunji also went to join in the fun. This is the time when children are most free and happy, and they can always eat more delicious food during the New Year than usual.
When Meng Yun sent it back, his pockets were full of snacks.
Meng Fuyan laughed, "There are few of us in the family, and none of the children come. Why don't you take some things out and share them with your friends?"
Meng Fuyan gave him some melon seeds, candy, roasted peanuts, and a small bag of dried meat. Meng Yunji ran off with the things in his arms.
This year, it snowed in the south, which excited many people, as such heavy snow is rarely seen in the south.
Meng Fuyan received a call from Gu Tingzhi, "Yanyan!"
The voice was deep and pleasant, radiating joy. Meng Fuyan raised an eyebrow; it seemed the person was in a very good mood!
"Brother Gu, it's snowing in the south."
Hearing the girl's voice made Gu Tingzhi happy. He wished he could fly south to find her.
"Yes, it's snowing in Kyoto too."
"You've arrived in Kyoto? Have you finished dealing with things in the north?"
"Well, Song Shiyan is handling the remaining matters, so I won't be needed for the time being. It's almost Chinese New Year, and my grandfather asked me to come back for the holiday, so I'm going back to Kyoto."
Meng Fuyan asked, "Now that you're home, has your job been confirmed? Are you going back to Northeast China after the New Year?"
"I won't be going back for now, but I haven't decided on a specific job yet."
Meng Fuyan fell silent for a moment, then Gu Tingzhi's voice came from the phone, "Why aren't you saying anything?"
"You called me, didn't you have anything to say to me?"
Gu Tingzhi chuckled, "I just wanted to wish you a Happy New Year, and also, wait for me at home, I'll come to see you in a few days."
"Huh?" Meng Fuyan was a little surprised. "Are you coming over?"
"Well, I was worried you might be traveling somewhere else lately, so I wanted to let you know in advance."
Meng Fuyan asked expectantly, "When?"
"In a few days, I'm not sure exactly which day, but it won't be too long. Is there anything you want? I'll bring it to you."
Meng Fuyan thought for a moment, and it seemed there wasn't anything she particularly wanted. She had everything, but...
“I want a gift. You can’t come to see me empty-handed, can you? My mother used to bring me gifts every time she came back from a long trip.”
Gu Tingzhi agreed, "A gift is definitely coming. I'm asking if there's anything you particularly want, like the Friendship Store in Kyoto, or I can buy it for you when I pass through Shanghai."
"Just buy it for me yourself! I can't think of what I need right now."
"Okay, I'll buy it for you!"
