Chapter 212 Weird Blind Date
Rich people are not fools. They usually look for someone of equal social status when marrying. In Yao Yue's case, people in the same circle would know something about her background. In such a situation, the only advantage the man has in a blind date should be his wealth.
Gong Yingying has listened to Yao Yue since she was a child. In addition, she was raised in a pampered environment and has never suffered the hardships she is experiencing now. She agrees with her mother's idea. If she finds a good partner, her living standard can return to what it was before.
However, what kind of people has she been meeting these days? Gong Yingying, who has never experienced the hardships of life, has always fantasized about her other half: he must be good-looking, rich, gentle, considerate and treat her well. But her blind date does not meet any of the requirements except for money.
Even in terms of wealth, some people do not meet the standards. The man's parents have some money, but the man himself may not have any savings. He uses his parents' card, which has a limit.
The most outrageous thing is that among these blind date candidates, there are divorced men with children. The first requirement is that they will not have any more children after marriage and they want Gong Yingying to be a full-time mother at home to help him take care of the children. Seeing the other party's self-righteous look, Gong Yingying was really disgusted.
Of course, the other blind date candidates were not much better. They had a wide age range and even different sexual orientations. The common point was that they could persuade Gong Yingying to give up in no more than three sentences, and they all had their own unique looks.
The blind date arranged by Yao Yue for her made Gong Yingying deeply realize that the world is so big and full of wonders, and her mother seemed to have collected all the best and strange things in front of her.
Every time Gong Yingying came back from a blind date, she was in a very bad mood. Yao Yue kept asking her how it went. She said it was not suitable, but Yao Yue was still unhappy and thought she was picky. Then she talked about her own difficulties in front of her, as if all the unsatisfactory things in life were because of Gong Yingying.
It seemed as if she would be letting down her suffering mother and brothers if she didn't find a rich man to marry right away.
Faced with such pressure, Gong Yingying felt very aggrieved. She had grown up so big, and every one of her previous suitors was much better than her current blind date, and she looked down on them all at the time. Could it be that just because she no longer had the support of Gong Mingwei as a father, she could only be worthy of these top-notch blind date men?
She obviously has a brother, so why does she have to bear all the pressure from her mother? And Gong Wenjie, her brother, doesn't care about his sister at all. Apart from asking for money, he won't talk to her nicely. If she doesn't give him money, he won't even look at her in a good light.
The family was so good before, the brothers were friendly and respectful to each other, and Yao Yue was also a kind mother. But now because there is no money, everyone has changed. In this family, Gong Yingying can't feel any family affection, only pressure.
Even the pampered Gong Yingjie is now well-behaved. Seeing that Yao Yue is in a bad mood, he dares not say anything casually and hides in the room and does not come out. If there is anything, he only dares to tell his sister Gong Yingying.
Gong Yingying felt a little regretful. She wondered if she should have chosen to follow her father. Her father doted on her so much, at least she wouldn't have such great financial pressure now. At night, lying in bed unable to sleep, she couldn't help but send a message to Gong Mingwei with her mobile phone, but found that she had been blocked.
Looking at the message on her phone that could not be sent, Gong Yingying could no longer hold back her emotions. Her nose felt sore and tears welled up in her eyes. Why did she have to live the life she was living now?
On the other side, a major event happened in the Gong family. Xie Ying, who had been married for more than 30 years, filed for divorce from Gong Mingwei.
Gong Mingwei, the person involved, was the last to know about this matter. Before that, Xie Ying had already told Mr. Gong, Gong Chen, and Qian Muchue.
On the day he made his will, Mr. Gong said that no matter what happened to the relationship between Xie Ying and Gong Mingwei, he would always treat Xie Ying as a family member, although in his heart, the old man hoped that Xie Ying and Gong Mingwei could be together happily.
However, feelings cannot be forced. People say that there can be family affection without love. But Xie Ying was generous enough not to become his enemy despite the bad things Gong Mingwei had done over the past few decades.
So, when Xie Ying said she wanted a divorce, although Mr. Gong was a little disappointed, he still supported her.
Among everyone, Xie Ying was most concerned about Gong Chen's attitude. It was also because no one could threaten Gong Chen's position now, and her marriage with Gong Mingwei had no meaning, that Xie Ying wanted to divorce.
Xie Ying does not have a new love life, but her marriage with Gong Mingwei makes her feel a little uncomfortable. However, if Gong Chen does not agree, Xie Ying may not divorce. Of course, Gong Chen's personality makes it impossible for him to object.
"This is your business, no need to ask for my opinion." These were Gong Chen's exact words, without any emotional fluctuations, as he continued to tease the twin brother and sister.
Xie Ying was not surprised by Gong Chen's attitude. In Gong Chen's heart, both she and his father Gong Mingwei were no better than strangers.
Qian Muchue understood Gong Chen's feelings very well. Although the two had been married for more than 30 years, neither of them had fulfilled their responsibilities as parents. To Gong Chen, it made no difference whether they divorced or not.
"Mom, this is your marriage. We support whatever choice you make. No matter what, you are Yaya and their grandmother." Qian Muchue expressed her opinion with a smile.
As a mother, Xie Ying owed Gong Chen, but as a mother-in-law and grandmother, Xie Ying was still very qualified. Moreover, Qian Muchue knew that although Gong Chen would not forgive Xie Ying, he would not want her to have a bad life.
When Xie Ying and Gong Mingwei filed for divorce, Gong Mingwei was confused. Perhaps many years ago, he had thought about divorcing Xie Ying, but so many years have passed, and Gong Mingwei has accepted such a deformed marriage.
Moreover, when he and Yao Yue were in a passionate relationship, Xie Ying did not ask him for a divorce. Now that he and Yao Yue have completely broken up and are ready to return to their family, Xie Ying actually wants to divorce him.
"Why?" Gong Mingwei blurted out.
"We have no feelings for each other, and divorce is just letting each other go. There is no reason." Xie Ying said lightly. Gong Mingwei's reaction was within her expectations.
Gong Mingwei obviously didn't believe what Xie Ying said. The fact that they had no feelings for each other was not a new thing that happened today. It had been more than 30 years. If they wanted to divorce, they would have done so long ago. Gong Mingwei suddenly thought of something and his face looked very bad.
"Do you have someone else outside, so you want a divorce? Aren't you afraid that Dad and Gong Chen will find out?" With the previous experience of Yao Yue, Gong Mingwei felt that he was being cuckolded again, and his tone was very bad.
Hearing this, Xie Ying smiled. Her reaction made Gong Mingwei even more angry.
"Gong Mingwei, I know what you are thinking. You think that I never mentioned divorce for the past thirty years when you were involved with other women. Now that you have broken up with other women, I should not mention divorce even more, right?" This should be the first time in all these years that Xie Ying spoke to Gong Mingwei with such emotion.
