Chapter 437: Incompetent men only blame women]

Sheng Zhiwu glanced at the soup on his coat and met his father's eyes.

At this moment, his father's face turned red, he was panting, and his eyes were full of bloodshot when he looked at him, as if he was extremely angry.

"I won't ask you to pay for the clothes."

Sheng Zhiwu said slowly, "After all, you came to me today just to get my money. I don't expect you to pay a few hundred yuan for my clothes."

"What did you say?"

Sheng's father laughed angrily and pulled Sheng's mother's arm and said, "Is this the good son you raised?"

He gritted his teeth and said to Sheng Zhiwu, "I just want to care about your son as a father. How could you miss me so much? What are a few hundred yuan? With the ability of my Sheng family, this money is not even enough for me to have a meal!"

The Sheng family is in a difficult situation now, but Sheng's father is unwilling to admit it. He doesn't want this young boy to be proud in front of him!

"Really?"

Upon hearing this, Sheng Zhiwu stretched out his hand, "Then please settle the meal money and my clothes money, I'll give you a cheaper price, five hundred yuan."

Sheng's father widened his eyes, he didn't expect Sheng Zhiwu to dare to ask him for money!

Five hundred?

He didn't even have fifty in his pocket now!

Sheng's father was so angry that he was shaking, and yelled at Sheng's mother: "Is that what you taught him?! I think you also want to laugh at me with him, right?"

"Incompetent men only blame women."

Sheng Zhiwu sneered, and after that, he didn't care about the two of them anymore, and pushed the door out.

Anyway, it's none of his business in this room because it's a fight between two people.

Unexpectedly, when he opened the door, he saw Ye Mei.

Ye Mei didn't expect that she would meet Sheng Zhiwu just passing by.

Father Sheng and Mother Sheng were yelling and yelling. Even if she didn't want to listen, she heard it all clearly and knew what happened in the house.

"Xiao Ye..."

Sheng Zhiwu saw Ye Mei, and his previously cold and numb face became a little more helpless.

His first reaction was to cover the place on his clothes that was stained by the soup. He

didn't want Ye Mei to see his wolfish look.

Seeing Ye Mei standing at the door, she should have heard everything that happened in the house just now.

Sheng Zhiwu pursed his lips. Would Ye Mei ask him?

Ask him why his father was like that, ask him what the situation was at home, ask him...

"Have you eaten?"

Ye Mei's voice rang from his ear.

Sheng Zhiwu was stunned and speechless.

Ye Mei simply pulled his hand and pulled him away, "If you haven't eaten yet, go change your clothes and eat together. My family has already ordered the dishes. Hurry up and prepare them before they are served, otherwise they will get cold."

"Oh... OK."

Sheng Zhiwu didn't react at all. He was dragged to the boss by Ye Mei in a daze. He bought a set of clean old clothes and went to the utility room to change.

The old clothes didn't fit well. They were a little tight with short arms and legs, but it was okay to wear them for a while.

Now was not the time to worry about this.

Sheng Zhiwu changed his clothes and came out to meet Ye Mei. He couldn't help but ask, "You...don't you ask?"

"?"

Ye Mei looked from Sheng Zhiwu's exposed wrists and ankles, and looked at him with confusion: "Didn't I ask you if you had eaten? You haven't eaten yet, have you?"

"No."

Sheng Zhiwu said hurriedly, "I didn't eat."

He remembered that Ye Mei wanted to invite him to dinner, so he hurried to explain.

Sheng Zhiwu said again: "Just... didn't you hear everything at the door? Why don't you ask what's going on at my house?"

"What is there to ask?"

Ye Mei motioned him to follow, "It's not your fault."

After a pause, Ye Mei said again: "If you want to talk, I'll listen. If you don't want to talk, don't force yourself. No matter what your parents are like, it won't affect my impression of you. After all, my dad is just like that, and I haven't heard you say anything about me."

Sheng Zhiwu's nose was sour, and he followed Ye Mei and said "hmm" in a low voice.

It was incredible.

Ye Mei didn't even say a word of comfort, but he seemed to have received great comfort, and his originally uneasy heart was instantly settled.

The two entered another private room, and Ye Qingyue's family was there.

Ye Mei asked Sheng Zhiwu to sit next to her and said casually, "We just happened to meet, let's eat together."

At the table, except for Ye Feng who looked at Ye Mei and Sheng Zhiwu a few more times, Ye Qingyue and Ye Xianghong did not show any abnormality.

Ye Xianghong knew that Sheng Zhiwu had always taken Ye Mei to do business, so she told him not to be so reserved and to eat and drink.

After a hot and noisy meal, Ye Mei said, "Xiao Wu and I have some work to do. You go back first, I'll go to pay the bill."

Then, Ye Mei took Sheng Zhiwu to the counter to pay the bill.

Sheng Zhiwu wanted to rush to pay, but was pushed away by Ye Mei, "What's there to argue about? I said it's my treat, you can just treat me back next time."

Next time?

When Sheng Zhiwu heard this word, he immediately said, "Okay."

He could find another excuse to have dinner with Ye Mei, what's wrong with that?

The two left the restaurant, and Ye Mei and Sheng Zhiwu went to their "base" in Beijing.

It's called a base, but in fact it's a temporary office in Beijing, a small rented courtyard, where business goods and their personal belongings are stored.

Sheng Zhiwu put his clothes here and went in to change.

When he came out, he saw two bottles of milk that Ye Mei bought from somewhere, still hot, and threw one to him, "Drink it and you'll sleep well at night."

This was what Ye Qingyue told her, saying that milk helps sleep.

Ye Mei thought of Sheng Zhiwu's numb expression when he was in the restaurant before, and she knew at a glance that something bad had happened today, so she went out to buy milk while Sheng Zhiwu was sleeping.

Sheng Zhiwu and Ye Mei sat side by side, looking at the weeds and dead trees in the yard.

"I am an illegitimate child."

Suddenly, Sheng Zhiwu spoke up. He said, "My mother was cheated on by that man. After he left, my mother found out that she was pregnant. When she went to the house, she found out that the man had just got married and she became the mistress who destroyed other people's marriages."

Ye Mei listened without saying anything.

Sheng Zhiwu slowly told Ye Mei about his parents.

Including when he was a child, his mother ignored him and only cared about that man every day.

And when he grew up and made money, she emptied his pockets and used the money to please that man.

Daxiong and the others didn't know about these things, they just knew that his family situation was complicated.

Among his friends, only Huo Qingchi knew a little, but he didn't know such details.

This was something that was hard for Sheng Zhiwu to say.

But today, he told Ye Mei everything without reservation.

Sheng Zhiwu used to think that he definitely didn't have the courage to tell Ye Mei about his unbearable self.

He was afraid that Ye Mei would dislike him and stay away from him.

But now, he suddenly felt that no matter what happened, Ye Mei would not look at him differently like outsiders.

This was the courage that Ye Mei gave him.

Sheng Zhiwu told her everything.

"When I go back tonight, my mother will definitely make a scene again."

Sheng Zhiwu finished the milk and looked at the empty bottle. He thought that drinking this alone would not help him sleep. His mother would make so much noise that he would not be able to sleep all night. "The money I brought back this time will probably be taken away by her and given to that man."

He was no longer surprised by all this. He

had learned to accept it numbly.

After all, resistance was useless, wasn't it?

Sheng Zhiwu thought, this was his fate, he could only accept this crappy fate and live a crappy life.

"This won't work."

At this moment, Ye Mei's voice rang out from the side.

Sheng Zhiwu was startled and turned his head to look.

Ye Mei raised her head and drank the milk in the bottle cleanly, then looked at him and said seriously, "You can't continue living like this."
