Chapter 387 Chapter 387 I can't stand her complacency
Xu Dongyao stood there in a daze, not knowing how to answer her question for a moment. He searched through all the knowledge he had learned in his mind, but could not find a definite answer.
The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he said hesitantly, "In fact, in today's social environment, if a financially independent woman can't find a partner with whom she shares the same values, marriage may not be her experience, nor may it be the path she must take."
This time it was Shen Qinghuan's turn to be stunned. She obviously hadn't expected that Lawyer Xu could actually say such a thing.
After pondering for a moment, Shen Qinghuan curled the corners of his lips and said with a smile: "It seems to make sense."
"Lawyer Xu, it's getting late. Go back and catch up on some sleep! I'll treat you to dinner next time."
Xu Dongyao lowered his eyes and looked at Shen Qinghuan with a look that was difficult for people to detect. He raised the corner of his mouth slightly and said with a smile: "It's better to wait for a day than to wait for a day. How about tonight?"
Shen Qinghuan hesitated for a moment before agreeing, "Okay! Then tonight, I'll call you later."
Xu Dongyao: "Then I'll wait for your news."
Shen Qinghuan: "Okay!"
…
When Shen Qinghuan returned home, Aunt Zhang quickly stopped her and asked how Li Meng was doing. She said she was fine and went back to her bedroom to catch up on some sleep.
The whole night was filled with worry and panic.
The moment she lay down on her big bed, she just wanted to sleep soundly.
But after lying down, Shen Qinghuan tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep! As soon as she closed her eyes, she would think of Li Meng's slightly red eyes.
Did she really go back last night?
The Li Meng she knew looked very strong and never cared about other people's opinions, but in fact, she was sensitive and had low self-esteem, but she hid these emotions.
Shen Qinghuan suddenly wondered why she had resolutely decided to get a marriage certificate with Shi Beichuan. Didn't she know that Shi Beichuan's mother didn't like her? Or did she think... marriage was just between the two of them?
Lying in bed, Shen Qinghuan thought for a long time but couldn't figure it out.
Perhaps she was too sleepy, and as she thought, she closed her eyes.
When she woke up again, it was already afternoon.
"Huanhuan, are you hungry? What do you want to eat? I'll make it for you!" When Aunt Zhang saw Shen Qinghuan coming out of the bedroom in a daze, she hurried forward and asked her cheerfully.
In fact, Shen Qinghuan was woken up by hunger. In the morning, she went to see Li Meng without eating a single bite.
When she got home, she was so tired that she didn't want to eat anything and just wanted to lie in bed and relax.
"Noodles!" Shen Qinghuan said, "Auntie Zhang, please cook me a small bowl of noodles."
"Okay! Then let's have noodles. I just made some chicken soup, and I'll use it to make noodles later."
"Thank you, Aunt Zhang!"
…
Shen Qinghuan was half lying lazily on the sofa, thinking about where to take Xu Dongyao out for dinner in the evening.
After much consideration, I finally decided to eat Western food.
She had just sent a message to Xu Dongyao and ordered food when Aunt Zhang came out of the kitchen with a bowl of fragrant noodles.
"Come and eat! Noodles don't taste good if they clump together."
Aunt Zhang really cooked her half a bowl of noodles and put a few big shrimps in it. Just smelling the aroma made her salivate, not to mention tasting it.
Shen Qinghuan picked up the chopsticks and fiddled with the noodles.
Suddenly she thought of something and looked up at Aunt Zhang. "I'm going out soon and won't be back for dinner tonight."
"Okay! I understand." Aunt Zhang said with loving eyes.
Maybe she was really hungry, she ate up most of the bowl of noodles and even drank up the noodle soup.
Just when I was about to sit on the sofa and rest for a while, I suddenly remembered the phone on the coffee table.
Shen Qinghuan picked it up and took a look. Her pretty eyebrows couldn't help but frown slightly. The phone number looked familiar, but she couldn't remember whose it belonged to. She put the phone to her ear.
"Shen Qinghuan, it's me! Li Mingzhu, are you free? I'd like to buy you a cup of coffee."
On the other end of the phone, Li Mingzhu was lying on the sofa, bored. She was talking while playing with her freshly done nails.
Ever since she successfully got Shen Qinghuan to divorce Jiang Yu, she felt that she had a chance to be with Jiang Yu, but she never expected that even if she threw herself into his arms, Jiang Yu would not be willing to look at her even more.
He even told her that he had never liked her and that she had always been wishful thinking!
He said that the few times he defended her during school days were entirely because she had accidentally saved him once when they were young, but he didn't expect that her kindness would be misunderstood.
He also said that there has always been only Shen Qinghuan in his heart.
So, she wanted to take revenge on him, and she even seduced Jiang Zhenlin. She thought it would take some effort, but who would have thought that she just made up a lie casually, and Jiang Zhenlin actually believed it. He even forced his wife to divorce him so that he could be with her.
But how could she possibly fall for an old man in his fifties!
After a brief pause, Li Mingzhu added with a half-smile, "After you and Jiang Yu divorced, I actually took the initiative to look for him. His eyes were really scary."
"I didn't come looking for you for any other reason. I was just bored and wanted to find someone I know to talk to!"
Shen Qinghuan doesn't like Li Mingzhu, never has.
In the past, when Li Meng went to the Jiang family's old house to play, she always told her intentionally or unintentionally that she was a dependent in the Jiang family. Since she was a dependent, she should have the awareness of being a dependent. It is best not to covet things that do not belong to her, so as not to embarrass herself.
"I'm sorry! Miss Li, I'm very busy and don't have time to drink coffee with you."
Shen Qinghuan refused bluntly.
Li Mingzhu was stunned for a moment, then chuckled and said slowly: "I knew you would definitely not agree to drink coffee with me, but..."
She changed the subject and immediately became mysterious, "Shen Qinghuan, I heard that several of you spent the entire night looking for Li Meng. Is that true?"
Shen Qinghuan's expression changed slightly. Suppressing the doubts in his heart, he asked calmly, "Who told you this?"
Li Mingzhu smiled proudly. She knew that Shen Qinghuan would become anxious as long as Li Meng was mentioned.
"You want to know?" Shen Qinghuan couldn't stand Li Mingzhu's smug look and couldn't help but said coldly, "Li Mingzhu, what do you mean? If you don't want to tell me, forget it. I'm not forcing you."
Li Mingzhu choked. "If you don't want to hear it, forget it! But don't blame me for not mentioning it to you."
"Several of us went to look for Li Meng last night. You couldn't have heard it from just one of them."
“Neither!”
