Chen Li was not a scheming person. She passed her husband at the gate of the community late at night. Deng Shangwei didn't see her, but she wanted to say hello to Deng Shangwei - Wen Ying was also in the car. Chen Li honked the horn, and Deng Shangwei's car disappeared.
"strangeness……"
Chen Li muttered and subconsciously put the car into reverse gear, wanting to catch up.
Wen Ying's heart was pounding, and she quickly held Chen Li's hand. "What's so strange? It's so dark, the streetlights at the entrance of your community should have been replaced long ago. It's normal that my uncle can't see. Aunt, I'm sleepy, let's go upstairs!"
Chen Li returned to Chengdu tonight at Wen Ying's request. They didn't call Deng Shangwei before they came back. Deng Shangwei went out at night... Wen Ying thought of a very bad possibility. She wanted to scold Deng Shangwei severely. However, her aunt Chen Li was not mentally prepared for this matter. If the truth was suddenly revealed, with her aunt's temper, she would probably repeat the same path as in her previous life?
Wen Ying still doesn't think that Chen Li was wrong to choose to divorce Deng Shangwei in her previous life, but after dating He Zhen for three years, some of He Zhen's ideas did affect her.
He Zhen feels that when two people decide to get married, they are combining the resources of both parties. Whether it is material or spiritual, there are always some aspects that are better than when they were not married. Otherwise, why get married?
The same applies to divorce. If a marriage brings pain and loss, stopping the loss in time is the best option.
But both parties live worse after the divorce, and the pain is not stopped because of the divorce. That is only treating the symptoms and not the root cause.
Wen Ying did not completely agree with He Zhen's idea.
However, He Zhen was right about one thing. After Chen Li and Deng Shangwei divorced in her previous life, Chen Li did not feel relieved. She was depressed for more than ten years and had not gotten out of this failed marriage until Wen Ying was reborn!
No, I can’t let my aunt go with us tonight.
Wen Ying's interruption diverted Chen Li's attention and she decided to call Deng Shangwei after returning home.
Chen Li parked the car and took Wen Ying upstairs.
This community is one of the earliest commercial housing estates in Chengdu. When it was first launched, it was considered a high-end residence in Chengdu. Deng Shangwei settled his family here after he became rich in business, saying that he wanted to provide a good environment for his sons. The residents of the community are either rich or noble. Deng Shangwei thought long-term, and this would not only allow his two sons to have a better environment, but also expand his own network!
Of course, Wen Ying didn't care about these things when she was a teenager. Even if she knew about them, she would still think Deng Shangwei's ideas were snobbish. Teenagers are ashamed to talk about money.
However, Wen Ying now looks at some of Deng Shangwei's decisions with a mature mind and finds that Deng Shangwei is really amazing.
In 2004, the primary function of a mobile phone was still making calls and sending text messages; it wasn't a necessity for everyone. Unlike a decade later, when mobile phones became primarily used for accessing the internet, people were exposed to countless "chicken soup" stories daily through various website push notifications, marketing accounts, and trending articles on social media. Topics like middle-class anxiety and children's education were topics that social media outlets exploited endlessly. Most ordinary people were unconsciously led by these mass-produced trending articles on social media, and their class structures were entrenched in their every word.
In 2004, or even a few years earlier, Deng Shangwei had no access to inspirational articles. He considered the long-term costs of buying a house, which showed that Deng Shangwei had a good vision.
No wonder Deng Shangwei was able to make tens of millions in just 2004... If he had not been devastated after his divorce from Chen Li, with Deng Shangwei's vision and ability, if he had continued to work hard for more than ten years, he would probably have become one of the top figures in Chengdu's business circle!
Wen Ying followed Chen Li to identify the door number.
She used to be very familiar with this house of Chen Li's. After Chen Li and Deng Shangwei divorced, Deng Shangwei almost left the house with nothing and gave the house to Chen Li. When Chen Li lived in this house, she thought of Deng Shangwei and soon sold the house and moved to another community.
So Wen Ying hasn't been to this community for more than ten years.
Chen Li took out the key and opened the door. The lights in the living room were not on. The nanny had already coaxed Wen Ying's two cousins to sleep. When Chen Li opened the door, she woke the nanny up.
"Sister Chen, why did you come back so suddenly without even calling me to pick you up?"
"It's okay. Wen Ying and I came to Rongcheng together. We ran into your brother Deng at the gate of the community. Little sister, do you know where he went?"
The nanny in Chen Li's family also has the surname Deng, and both Chen Li and Deng Shangwei call her "Little Sister".
Yaomei is only twenty years old this year. She is short, fat and sturdy, but she is very hardworking. She is a relative from Deng Shangwei's hometown. Deng Shangwei has been generous since he became rich and often takes care of the poor relatives from his hometown. Chen Li doesn't care about small amounts of money and is willing to help Deng Shangwei's relatives from his hometown... Of course, the help is also to relatives like Yaomei who are willing to earn money with their own hands. Chen Li said that some people are poor because of bad luck, and some people are lazy and it is useless to help them. If Deng Shangwei shows a little sympathy, she will bite them like a blood-sucking worm. Chen Li and Deng Shangwei can't afford to offend such poor relatives!
"I don't know what my brother did when he went out. He said he was already downstairs and asked me if Deng Jie and the others had slept yet. Then he called and said he had something to do and would be back later."
The youngest sister was simple-minded and answered every question Chen Li asked. Then she went to take the suitcase from Wen Ying's hand very attentively.
"Sister Chen finally brought you here. I've been dreaming about you coming soon. I heard you were sick. Are you feeling better now?"
Not only had Wen Ying not been to this community for more than ten years, she had also not seen Chen Li's nanny Deng Yaomei for more than ten years.
Once the couple divorced, Yaomei, who was a relative from Deng Shangwei's hometown, of course could no longer be Chen Li's nanny.
Wen Ying remembered that Yaomei cried very hard when she left, and she even kowtowed to Chen Li... In modern society, nannies are hired domestic workers, not servants like in the old society. If Deng Yaomei didn't have a deep affection for her and was reluctant to leave, why would she kowtow?
When Deng Yaomei saw Wen Ying, her eyes lit up.
Wen Ying's memory came back instantly.
Deng Yaomei is not only the nanny of my aunt's family, but also Wen Ying's friend.
There is a reason why Wen Ying becomes friends with Deng Yaomei. She was often criticized by her parents and was very insecure when she was a teenager. She acted as a follower in school and relied on buying snacks to please her classmates in order to fit in with the group... Except for two or three childhood friends, the sixteen-year-old Wen Ying has many superficial friendships.
Deng Yaomei's friendship is not plastic. Wen Ying remembers that she really liked Deng Yaomei as a friend.
After all, other friends need Wen Ying to please them, but in front of Deng Yaomei, it is always Deng Yaomei who pleases her!
Deng Yaomei flatters Wen Ying not because she sees Chen Li and Deng Shangwei doting on Wen Ying, but because she wants to use Wen Ying to please her employer in a roundabout way. Deng Yaomei doesn't have the brains to do that.
It's because Deng Yaomei dropped out of school at the age of fifteen. She envied Wen Ying for being able to study. Others looked down on Wen Ying. Deng Yaomei admired Wen Ying very much and always thought that Wen Ying was an excellent student. If she didn't go to Tsinghua University in the future, she would go to Peking University. Deng Yaomei was Wen Ying's fan girl and a die-hard fan of Wen Ying.
Of course, Wen Ying could not get into Tsinghua University or Peking University in her previous life, and she also lost Deng Yaomei, a friend who loved her sincerely.
Although Deng Yaomei was just a nanny with low education, some people who had studied for more than ten years were not as honest as Deng Yaomei.
Wen Ying couldn't help but open her arms and hug Deng Yaomei.
"Little sister, I miss you so much!"
