Meng Laosan and his family stayed in Beijing as they wished, but without the promotion from the Liu family, Meng Jianye eventually became a team leader in the cultural department, busy with all kinds of trivial matters every day, and there was no trace of his former glory.
Wu Zhaodi quit her previous job directly and originally planned to find another good job in Beijing with the help of the Liu family.
Unexpectedly, once Liu Su fell from power, not only were old cases brought up, but everything he had done over the years was also investigated thoroughly. There was no hope of him being released in this lifetime, and now the whole family was depending on Meng Jianye's salary.
That day, Meng Jianye returned exhausted to the two-bedroom apartment assigned to him by his current unit. Looking at the small and messy home, he sighed deeply.
Until now, he has not realized his mistake. His family all thinks that it was the Meng family who wanted to kill them all and bring down the Liu family.
Meng Jianye really wanted to ask Meng Jianjun: We are of the same root, why are you so eager to fight each other?
He heard laughter coming from Meng Hao's room, heard Wu Zhaodi's snoring, saw his two daughters reclining on the sofa in the living room, and yelled at everyone in the room, "Everyone, get out!"
Seeing that their father's face was not right, Meng Ling and Meng Li sat up straight and obediently.
Wu Zhaodi came out dragging her shoes and said in a bad tone:
"What are you yelling about?"
When Meng Hao and Shen Jiayao came out, their clothes were still a little disheveled, with their buttons buttoned in the wrong places.
Meng Jianye looked at the old and young in front of him, and felt a deep sense of powerlessness.
He pointed at Wu Zhaodi and said with a stern face, "You, and Meng Ling, Meng Li, and Meng Hao! Go out and find a job tomorrow. Don't just sit around at home doing nothing.
My own salary alone isn't enough to support you guys!"
The more he talked, the more frustrated he felt. The more he talked, the angrier he became. He pointed the gun at Shen Jiayao again: "Miss Shen, you should also pack up and take the train back. You have seen the current situation of our family. What is the point of you staying here with Meng Hao when you are not in the right place?"
Meng Ling and Meng Li nodded but didn't dare to say anything more. Meng Hao glanced at the pitiful and tearful Shen Jiayao, frowned, and sat down on the sofa without hesitation, and said lazily:
"Dad, how can I do any job? And why did you chase Yaoyao away? Yaoyao is mine. Where can she go if she doesn't follow me?"
No matter how bad Meng Hao was, he knew that Shen Jiayao was already his. Moreover, he and Shen Jiayao were in a free relationship, and he still had some true feelings for her in his heart.
After their relationship progressed, he became even more addicted to it. It would be better to drive Shen Jiayao away than to let him go together!
"So you're just going to go on like this? To put it bluntly, being nameless and without any status is called being a slut these days! You're acting like a hooligan! Do you know you'll be criticized if anyone finds out? You're going to get shot!"
Meng Jianye threw the briefcase aside and rubbed his aching temples. No one is easy to worry about!
"Uncle, you don't have to say such harsh words. I'm going to pack up and leave right now. I won't get you into any trouble!"
Shen Jiayao said this and ran back to her room to pack her things.
Meng Hao quickly followed and grabbed her wrist as she was holding her clothes: "What are you doing, Yaoyao! No one will chase you away!"
"Brother Hao, what uncle said is right. We are indeed nameless and incompetent. It's okay for me to leave. You don't have to worry about being reported. Let's just leave it here!"
Her crying voice reached Meng Hao's ears, and Meng Hao gritted his teeth.
"Why are you leaving? Who said we have no status? I'm going to marry you. We'll get the marriage certificate tomorrow! The wedding will be held the day after tomorrow!"
"Meng Hao!" Wu Zhaodi, who had been silent all this time, also wanted to let Shen Jiayao leave. When she heard that her silly son was going to get married, she couldn't help but let out a sharp cry.
"Why are you getting married? I don't agree! It's absolutely impossible, I tell you! If she wants to leave, let her go. Mom will find you a lady from a famous family!"
She walked all the way to the door of the room and tried to pull Meng Hao away, but Meng Hao fiercely pushed her away:
"I don't want anyone else but Shen Jiayao. If you won't let me get the marriage certificate, then forget about my son and grandson! Yaoyao, let's go!"
He pulled Shen Jiayao and was about to go out
"What grandson! Explain your thoughts clearly, you bastard!" Meng Jianye glanced at Shen Jiayao's belly, seemed to feel something was wrong and quickly looked away.
"You mean, she's pregnant? Pregnant?"
Wu Zhaodi frowned. If she got pregnant at this time, then she couldn't get rid of it?
"Yesterday when we were out, Yaoyao felt unwell and went to see the doctor. We had planned to tell her about it in two days on Dad's birthday.
Now it seems that you don't welcome our family of three either, so we'll leave now and not get in your way."
Shen Jiayao originally fell in love with him because he was the son of an official in the local area. When she heard that his hometown was in Beijing, she took the initiative to hook up with him. Later, when she returned to Beijing and these things happened, she still felt that a lean camel is bigger than a horse after all, and the old man could not really ignore her, so she never left.
She really couldn't see any hope at the moment. She was trying to get away when she found out that she was pregnant. It was really fate.
As for feelings, she didn't have much real affection for Meng Hao, but at this moment she felt that the man in front of her was pretty good, at least he would protect her.
She has liked many people, including her neighbor Ye Mingchuan in childhood, but that person's eyes have never stayed on her for a second.
I once liked a boy who was an excellent student in the class, but he was only willing to discuss questions with my sister.
When she was young, she liked her sister's fiancé Zheng Chuan. Although he was successful, he was a coward. He refused to protect her when something happened and even tried to shirk responsibility.
After returning to the village, she felt that there was no hope for her to leave the small mountain village again in her life, so she turned her attention to the only educated son of the village chief. However, the young man in the village also said that he did not like her.
Only the person in front of her was standing in front of her parents to protect her.
It would be a lie to say she wasn't moved. She suddenly felt that it was actually quite good to continue living with him like this.
"Anyway, I've made my statement here. If Yaoyao leaves, I'll leave too. If you push Yaoyao too far, I'll ask her to sue me for hooliganism. Just wait and see if your son gets shot!"
Meng Jianye and Wu Zhaodi were really scared by this possibility. If they drove her away, she would accuse Meng Hao of hooliganism and use the child in her belly as evidence. Meng Hao's life would be over!
"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Meng Hao held her hand and comforted her.
Wu Zhaodi slammed the door in anger and went back to her room. Meng Jianye was sitting on the sofa smoking.
"Let's get the certificate tomorrow, and have the banquet..."
I originally wanted to skip the wedding banquet, but when I thought about it, I only have this one son, and I felt a little guilty about not even having a wedding banquet.
"Let's have the wedding banquet in a week. After you get the marriage certificate tomorrow, take her to the old house to tell the old man about the wedding and congratulate him. Invite everyone in the old house to attend the banquet.
Let's take this opportunity to ease the relationship. In the capital, the Liu family has already fallen. We should appease your grandfather and rely on the Meng family to help us get ahead."
"I know, Dad."
Although he was somewhat dissatisfied, he knew that his father had already made concessions by agreeing to the marriage, so he decided not to anger him.
