Chapter 271 Chapter 271 Let him stay alone in the empty room
Li Meng didn't quite believe what she said. Whether it was the way Zhou Sinian looked at her or the tone of his voice, they were all different, but she didn't say it out loud.
After all, Shen Qinghuan just completed the divorce procedures with Jiang Yu today.
"By the way, Mengmeng, I'm staying at your house tonight. Where will Beichuan live then? Can you bear to let him stay alone in an empty house?"
Shen Qinghuan changed the subject subtly and teased her deliberately.
Li Meng shrugged. "We are husband and wife, not conjoined twins. Since we are husband and wife, we are two different and independent entities, so we both need our own private space."
Shen Qinghuan half-closed his eyes and smiled, then nodded seriously: "You are right."
"Have the Shi family members contacted you privately in the past few days?"
She was really worried that those people from the Shi family would bully her.
If she had known at that time that Li Meng was going to get a marriage certificate with Shi Beichuan, since Li Meng didn't listen to her, she would have definitely stopped him and not let him marry Li Meng so easily.
Li Meng shook her head subconsciously, "I haven't looked for it."
Shen Qinghuan chuckled twice and said with a forced smile, "Do you think I would believe you? With Shi Mixue's personality, how could she not look for you? She can't wait to feel superior to you all the time."
Li Meng glared at her angrily, "...Since you already know, why do you keep asking me?"
"I just want to know if you'll hide it from me!"
Li Meng always likes to report good news but not bad news. If someone from the Shi family bullied her, she would definitely not say a word.
But Shen Qinghuan is different. Even without the support of the Jiang family, she is still not afraid of Shi Mixue.
She never told Li Meng what she saw at Madam Xu's birthday party that night. She actually regretted it now. Even if she didn't say it, others would.
"Isn't it because I'm afraid you'll worry?"
Li Meng curled her lips.
"Huanbao, actually, you really don't have to worry about me and Shibei. I married him because I really like him and I don't want to miss him. But if I knew he liked someone else, I would let him go without hesitation, without even a moment's delay."
Shen Qinghuan was stunned, and her lips opened slightly.
After a pause, Li Meng continued, "You may not know this, but I actually fell in love with Shi Beichuan a long time ago. But at that time, I was completely insignificant. I felt like a weed on the side of the road that could be trampled on at will..."
“Then that happened.”
"When I approached Shi Beichuan, I was actually just throwing everything at him. I thought if I could get a little more, I'd be lucky. If I couldn't, that was what I deserved. But later, he actually asked me if I wanted to marry him."
"Huanbao, you can't imagine how excited I was at that time. I was really afraid that it was just a dream."
After she finished speaking, she proudly shook the goblet in her hand, then tilted her head back and drank it all in one gulp.
Listening to Li Meng's words, Shen Qinghuan suddenly seemed to understand her.
But she still hopes that she can be happy, and that happiness is what she deserves, not... charity.
"Then I wish you and Shi Beichuan... a long and happy marriage, and a son soon."
Shen Qinghuan raised the goblet, a smile on her face.
That night, Shen Qinghuan slept a full night's sleep for the first time in a rare occasion.
When I woke up in the morning, Li Meng had already come back from the gate of the community with a delicious breakfast: chicken feet with fermented black beans, sweet osmanthus cake, shredded chicken porridge, and her favorite crab roe buns...
“This is too rich!”
Shen Qinghuan sat on the dining chair, his mouth almost watering.
Last night when I was having hotpot, I only drank alcohol and didn’t eat a single bite of rice or much of the other dishes.
Seeing Shen Qinghuan trying to take it with her hands, Li Meng tapped the back of her hand unhappily, "Baby, have you washed up? Go wash up first and then have breakfast, hurry up!"
Shen Qinghuan puffed out his cheeks and ran to the bathroom reluctantly.
After a while, she ran out with a smile on her face and showed Li Meng her clean little hands.
"By the way, I have an appointment with Miss Zhang this afternoon to discuss the details of the renovation. Do you want to come with me?"
Shen Qinghuan raised his eyes and looked at Li Meng.
Li Meng waved at her and said, "Why don't you let Yang Li accompany you? I have something to do this afternoon."
Shen Qinghuan blinked suspiciously and asked casually, "What's more important than making money?"
Li Meng approached Shen Qinghuan mysteriously and whispered a few words.
Shen Qinghuan's eyes lit up when he heard this, but soon a look of worry appeared on his face.
…
Two o'clock in the afternoon.
Shen Qinghuan arranged to meet Miss Zhang, who wanted to renovate her old residential complex, at their studio.
"Ms. Shen, I really like the place you mentioned. This is what I've always wanted. I love reading, but my husband thinks it's been so many years since I graduated, why should I still read? It's better to use this time to do more housework or find a part-time job."
Looking at the design drawings given by Shen Qinghuan, Zhang Xuemei's eyes lit up.
I couldn't even help but express all the grievances that had been pent up in my heart.
Shen Qinghuan didn't agree with her husband's accusations. She just smiled gently and said, "I'm honored that you like my design and concept. If you have no other requirements, then the design drawings will be finalized."
Zhang Xuemei nodded like a chicken pecking at rice, "Yeah, I like your design."
"What about your husband..."
Shen Qinghuan had met her husband before, and he had an extremely bad temper, so she couldn't help but ask more questions.
Zhang Xuemei frowned and hesitated for a moment before saying, "Well, then I'll call and ask."
Shen Qinghuan: “?”
Didn't she say she could make the decision?
But after thinking about it, she quickly understood that after all, Miss Zhang and her husband were husband and wife and they had to live their lives. They couldn't have irreconcilable conflicts over the renovation of an old house.
Her only worry was that Ms. Zhang would not be able to convince her husband to agree to her renovating the house.
Zhang Xuemei walked out with her cell phone.
When she returned to the studio, the expression on her face became lost.
You don't need to ask to know that her husband must have refuted her idea.
However, Shen Qinghuan didn't ask anything. He just sat quietly in the office chair and waited for her to speak.
"Ms. Chen." Zhang Xuemei spoke hesitantly, suppressing the aggrieved emotions in her heart.
Shen Qinghuan: "Yeah."
Zhang Xuemei's face looked very bad. She bit her lip, looking very embarrassed. "Ms. Chen, I really like the decoration drawings you designed. Can you bring them back to me so that my husband can take a look? Maybe he will agree after seeing the renderings."
Shen Qinghuan curved her lips, but her tone was undeniable. "Sorry! Miss Zhang, in principle, we don't let customers take our design drawings away, and you can't take photos. But if you absolutely must, you'll need to purchase them. One original design drawing costs two thousand yuan."
