At this point, I didn't want to hear the cleaner anymore, nor was I in the mood to clarify his misunderstanding.
I pushed his hand away, looking a little dazed: "I'm fine, thank you for telling me this."
I left absent-mindedly, my mind full of Lu Jing and Lou Xiaoyun.
What is their relationship? When they started the company together, were they really just partners?
Huo Hui said so decisively that Yan Meng was Lu Jing's son. Did she find out something?
My mind was in a mess, with too many questions that needed to be answered, so I had to drive back to the Ming family's old house in a hurry.
As soon as I walked in, Mrs. Ming was sitting in the living room. She asked me with a smile, "Have you done the worship?"
I responded calmly and sat down next to Old Lady Ming, suppressing the uneasiness in my heart.
Old Madam Ming noticed something was wrong with me and asked with concern, "What's wrong? Are you tired? Why do you look so pale?"
I shook my head and asked, "Grandma, since you adopted Aunt Lou as your goddaughter, you must know a lot about her, right?"
Old Madam Ming looked at me suspiciously: "Why are you asking these questions all of a sudden?"
I smiled to hide my guilt and evaded the question, "I saw her photo and she's very beautiful. I don't think Yan Lirong is worthy of her at all. I don't know why she would choose to marry someone with such a bad temper."
Old Madam Ming sighed, as if with some regret: "Xiaoyun and Yan Lirong were together out of necessity. Back then, her father owed the Yan family a sum of money and was unable to repay it. Yan Lirong saw that Xiaoyun was beautiful and said that if she married into the Yan family, the money would be her dowry and she wouldn't have to pay it back. Otherwise, he would sue her father and have him imprisoned. Xiaoyun had no choice but to put up with it."
Talking about the past, Mrs. Ming still showed heartache, "I only found out about these things later. Otherwise, I would never let her marry that bastard Yan Lirong."
The Ming family is basically unanimous in their dislike for Yan Lirong.
Since Lou Xiaoyun was forced, did Lu Jing have a relationship with her before?
I pressed on, "Did Aunt Lou ever have a boyfriend before she married Yan Lirong?"
Mrs. Ming thought for a moment and shook her head. "I'm not sure about that. She was obsessed with fashion design at the time and probably had no time for romance."
The doubts in my heart have not been resolved, which makes me feel a little lost.
Old Mrs. Ming suddenly remembered something and asked me with interest, "By the way, what does your best friend Qiu Qiu do for a living? When will you bring her home to meet grandpa and grandma?"
It is not difficult to guess that Mrs. Ming suddenly became so interested in Qiu Qiu that Ming Si must have been unable to keep it a secret and told the two elders of the Ming family about Qiu Qiu and Ming Yuan.
I looked at Old Lady Ming helplessly and said, "Grandma, whether or not we can bring Qiu Qiu back depends on my uncle. With his straight-laced personality, it's hard for him to bring her back."
"What do you mean? What stupid thing did this brat do again?" Old Mrs. Ming understood Mingyuan. After all, it was not without reason that Mingyuan had been single all these years.
I complained, "Have you ever seen anyone give a girl a stainless steel plaque as a birthday present?"
"Ah?" Old Madam Ming was startled for a moment, then burst into laughter. "This Mingyuan, who did he inherit his emotional intelligence from! Why is he so clueless?!"
Old Madam Ming was helpless with Mingyuan, so she could only coax me: "Xiao Shan, your uncle has been single for so many years, and it's so hard for him to meet someone he likes. If that girl is also interested in your uncle, please help to match them up."
