Old Mrs. Ming was unhappy and snorted angrily.
"Yeah, they're divorced anyway. Lu Zhiyuan can find someone else, and so can our Xiaoshan!"
As she spoke, Old Lady Ming looked at Yan Meng.
In just a moment, Mrs. Ming's eyes changed, from anger to tenderness, and even a bit more appreciation.
"I think Yan Meng is a good young man, a hundred times better than that Lu Zhiyuan! If he can become my grandson-in-law in the future, then I, an old lady, can be completely relieved."
I twitched the corners of my mouth stiffly, and seeing that Yan Meng didn't refute and was smiling obediently, I just felt my head buzzing.
Old Lady Ming obviously wanted to bring Yan Meng and I together. I had just dealt with Lu Zhiyuan, and I really didn't have the energy to deal with all this.
Fortunately, Mingsi understood me. She looked at me and then immediately changed the subject.
"Dad, don't think that just because you gave me something I used to have, it's considered a birthday present. I won't be satisfied unless you give me a piece of calligraphy written in your own handwriting!"
What Mr. Ming is most proud of is his beautiful calligraphy, and he has held an exhibition of it before.
Mr. Ming responded with a hearty smile: "What word do you want?"
"You two elders, please come with me to the tea room. I'll grind some ink for you. Mom, you can watch over Dad and make sure he writes well for me."
Mingsi coaxed and deceived the two elders away, and I finally breathed a sigh of relief, feeling that the pressure in my chest was reduced a little.
Yan Meng and I were the only ones left in the open-air tavern. I took two sips of wine to calm myself down.
I explained to Yan Meng awkwardly, "My grandma just loves you too much, so she made the decision arbitrarily. Don't take it to heart, it's just something she said casually."
Yan Meng looked at me with watery eyes, raised the corners of her lips, and jokingly replied, "I actually hope that grandma can make the decision for you. That way, my chances of marrying you will be better."
I almost choked on the wine and glared at Yan Meng speechlessly.
Ever since he confessed his love to me in the alley that day, he has become more unscrupulous and unconcerned with me.
I was tired of saying no. Facing Yan Meng, my refusal was like a fist hitting cotton, completely useless.
I simply changed the subject: "By the way, Huo Hui came to see me not long ago."
Yan Meng's eyes suddenly turned cold, his brows furrowed, and he snorted coldly: "She really is incorrigible. She actually dared to harass you!"
"But don't worry, she won't appear in front of you again in the future."
His voice was cold and cruel, which made my heart tremble.
The scenes of how he treated Yan Lirong in the past are still vivid in my mind, and I am subconsciously afraid that he would treat Huo Hui the same way.
I swallowed nervously and asked tentatively, "What did you do to Huo Hui?"
"I didn't do anything." Yan Meng said lightly, "I just took his son to live with me and raise him. I will personally raise that child."
He had a smile on his face, but all I felt was coldness.
He narrowed his eyes and raised the corners of his lips in triumph. "I will tell that child how despicable and shameless Yan Lirong is. I want him to grow up hating Yan Lirong and feel ashamed of having a father like Yan Lirong!"
Every word he said made me shudder.
I remembered the frightened look on Huo Hui's face when she mentioned Yan Meng. Huo Hui's reaction was real.
Yan Meng at this moment was intimidating.
