Mr. Meng has been unwell recently and is recuperating in the old house. The whole family lives there with him, so Jin Yanyan called the old house, and it was the youngest daughter Meng Wenxin who answered the phone.
Jin Yanyan asked: "Xinxin, is there anyone else next to you?"
Meng Wenxin: "No. The weather is very good today, and Grandpa is in good spirits. Everyone is with him in the garden to admire the newly blooming camellia. I came back to drink water and am alone in the living room. Mom, what do you want to tell me?"
"Mom just wants to ask...where is your sister?"
"Eh? Didn't my sister go back to H Province? She left by train the day before yesterday. She should have arrived home by now. Didn't you see her?"
"What? Wen Lan is back? Isn't she going to school?"
"Mom, that's how college is. It doesn't matter if you go to class or not. Besides, my sister is studying painting, so she can go out to sketch anytime."
"Why didn't you call me before you came back?"
"My sister said she would fight. How should I know?"
“Where are you…”
Jin Yanyan was not particularly worried. Her two daughters had taken the express train from Beijing to the provincial capital of H Province many times, so there wouldn't be any accidents. But Wenlan's train should have arrived long ago, so why didn't she go home?
Jin Yanyan's mind turned, and she immediately thought: Meng Wenlan probably went directly to the guesthouse, where Jin Yanyan booked a room, and the wiretap for Meng Shaoan's study phone, the entire set of monitoring equipment was installed there! When the two daughters wanted to install the wiretap, Jin Yanyan couldn't dissuade them, so she had to let them do it. At first, she was a little nervous, afraid that Meng Shaoan would be angry if he found out, but Meng Shaoan didn't notice it at all, so she slowly relaxed. However, Wenlan and Wenxin monitored for a few days and didn't get the information they wanted. When the spring semester started, the two sisters left, and the "task" of monitoring fell on Jin Yanyan.
But Jin Yanyan has a job, and as a good wife and housewife, she goes home after work, asks the nanny to cook, and serves and accompanies her husband. This has become a habit. If Meng Shaoan doesn't see her when he gets home from get off work, he will find it strange, so she can't go to the guesthouse every day, and only goes to listen every few days.
Jin Yanyan did not monitor the conversation for the past two days, so she really had no idea about the content of Meng Shaoan's conversation.
Today Meng Shaoan suddenly got so angry, and kept saying it was for that "biological daughter". He also said that it was Meng Zhehan who reminded him to find the eavesdropping device. It can be inferred that the uncle and nephew had a phone call in the morning, and the content of the conversation included news and address of that biological daughter!
Jin Yanyan knew that her two daughters were very fond of the eavesdropping device. Wen Lan rushed back to H Province from Beijing naturally to eavesdrop. It is certain that Wen Lan did not go home first after getting off the train but ran to the guesthouse. In that room, Wen Lan eavesdropped on the conversation between Meng Shaoan and Meng Zhehan!
The two sisters were very disgusted with the girl who suddenly appeared and called her an illegitimate daughter. To the mother and daughter, she was a disaster and should not exist.
We must stop her from approaching the Meng family, and if there is a chance, we must wipe her out cleanly! Jin Yanyan didn't say anything when she heard what her daughters said. At that time, she thought they were just talking. If there was a real situation, wouldn't they have to ask their mother to solve it?
Now Wen Lan has finally monitored the girl's situation. She must want to do something. Wen Lan has always had an impatient temper since she was a child. Sometimes she just does what she wants to do without discussing it with adults.
Jin Yanyan became anxious: Meng Shaoan was furious and wanted to divorce because of the bug incident. At this critical juncture, if Wen Lan really went to find that girl and Meng Shaoan accidentally found out, this family would be over and there would be no way to save it!
On the other end of the phone, Meng Wenxin called out "Mom" several times. Jin Yanyan came back to her senses with a start and quickly replied, "Xinxin, Mom is here."
Meng Wenxin: "Mom, is there something wrong?"
Jin Yanyan paused. She didn't want to say it because she was afraid that her little daughter would feel bad. But then she thought that although her little daughter was timid, she was more calculating than her elder daughter. Her suggestions were usually reliable and practical. So she told her little daughter that Meng Shaoan had discovered the bug and was furious and wanted to divorce her. "Xinxin, your father was so heartless just now. Mom is heartbroken. Now I don't know what to do."
Meng Wenxin also stayed there for a while. She didn't expect that the bug had been discovered. She was really worried that Meng Shaoan would call and scold her and Wen Lan.
"Mom, um...we were acting very secretive, how could Dad find out?"
"It's your eldest brother who reminded your father."
Jin Yanyan gets angry whenever she talks about Meng Zhehan. She used to think that this eldest grandson of the Meng family was elegant and handsome, even more charming than the male actors in the movies, and she had a lot of good feelings for him, but now she hates him so much.
Then he thought that even if Meng Shaoan was angry about the bug, he should have kept it to himself. He was very filial and proud, and he hadn't dared to tell his parents about the illegitimate daughter yet. It was because the old man caught a cold during the Chinese New Year and his old illness was triggered, so he had to lie in bed for a few days. Meng Shaoan was afraid of making the old man angry and making his condition worse.
The phone in the study was bugged but no one noticed. This was a huge embarrassment for a trained man like him, but since it was an internal conflict within his small family, he didn't want anyone to know about it.
Therefore, you shouldn’t be scolded in the near future!
Meng Wenxin figured this out and said to Jin Yanyan, "Mom, Dad was just angry at the time. You can't agree to that. How can we get divorced in a family like ours? Not only can we not get divorced, but you and Dad have to be even more loving. Otherwise, how can my sister and I live our lives in the future? We won't have any future."
"I understand. I will definitely not agree. I'm just afraid that he...you know your father's temper. If he is willing to reason, then it's fine. I'm just afraid that he will be cold and silent for days, which is very torturous."
"Mom, the medicine I made for you before..."
“It’s all gone.”
"I just brought back two bottles for the Spring Festival. I put them on the top shelf of my room. I forgot about them. Go get them yourself. The blue one is for Dad, and the pink one is for you. This is a new type of medicine that was specially made in our laboratory. It's more effective."
"Oh, yes, all right."
Jin Yanyan said: "Xinxin, you chose to study medicine because of your father's old injuries. You must study hard and make special painkillers for your father in the future. Then he will love you even more."
"I know. Aren't I still learning this? By the way, Mom, let me tell you something."
"What."
"When school started, my sister and I went to visit my aunt."
"Why do you want to go see her? She's so far away." Jin Yanyan didn't keep in touch with Jin Rui, and she didn't approve of her daughters getting close to this aunt. Besides being superstitious about "Deng Qiuping", the difference in status between the Meng family and the Lu family that Jin Rui married into was too great, and she didn't want her daughters' status to be lowered.
Meng Wenxin said: "Aunt is not in good health, so we went to see her and gave her some nutritional supplements. There is nothing else we can do."
"This is already very good, don't go there again."
"Um."
"That's it, Mom is going to go find Wen Lan now."
"Sister?"
"She should have heard the news about the illegitimate daughter in her room at the guesthouse...but your father is furious, and he has already determined that the bug was installed by the three of us. No matter what happens, he will definitely put the blame on us, so your sister must not act rashly at this time!"
"Yes, yes. Mom, go and stop my sister. Tell her not to act rashly and wait until Dad calms down. That illegitimate daughter is just a country girl. She's easy to deal with. There will be a chance in the future."
"Okay, then I'll hang up."
"goodbye."
