Su Qingci became even more interested, "That amazing?"
Kong Yuzhen seemed to have found a kindred spirit. "Yes, yes, he's so handsome, patient, and gentle. He's just like the gentle and refined gentleman described in books."
"His smile is so beautiful, it's almost dazzling."
Su Qingci looked surprised. "Really? There really are such outstanding people in this world? No wonder you're so infatuated with them."
Kong Yuzhen was full of sorrow. "Alas, what's the use of liking someone? My brother won't let me get close to Brother Meng Bai at all."
Why?
"I don't know either. Maybe I'm afraid that Meng Bai's wife will cause me trouble!"
!! !! !! !! !!
Su Qingci was stunned. So this worthless thing had been arguing with her sister-in-law for so long, but the other woman was already married?
Judging from her self-righteous manner, Su Qingci initially thought she was the legal wife guarding against a mistress. Damn it, after all this time, she already has a family. What's the point of you two arguing like this? If this were in the future, you'd have to be careful not to get your clothes ripped off and beaten up just walking down the street!
Are mistresses really this brazen these days? She's really seen something new.
Su Qingci paused for a moment, then tried to correct her worldview, "Yuzhen, is he married? Does he have a wife?"
"No, Yuzhen, that's not right. No matter how outstanding or handsome he is, he's married. Even if you like him, you have to keep it a secret! Why are you in such a hurry, as if you're afraid he won't know? You don't think this is something to be proud of, do you?"
"Besides, monogamy is the norm now. Do you still think it's like before, with the option of having a first, second, or third wife? You're such a lovely young woman, there's no need to hang yourself on this one tree. Your brother is right to keep you away from that Meng Bai guy; he's definitely doing it for your own good!"
"How about we look at some others? Maybe there are some better ones!"
Kong Yuzhen quickly retorted, "No, Brother Meng Bai is married! So what?"
“I feel he is not happy at all. He was forced into it. I have met his wife, Lan Shu. She is not good enough for such an outstanding brother Meng Bai. If it weren’t for the fact that her father, Lan Chengyong, is a first-level customs supervisor in Shanghai, brother Meng Bai would not have been forced to marry her.”
Su Qingci's heart skipped a beat. "A first-level customs supervisor? That's a department-level official!"
Su Qingci's mind raced. This position seemed to be in charge of customs, right?
Sure enough, Kong Yuzhen's next words confirmed that she had not guessed wrong.
"What's so great about it? It's just supervising and inspecting customs imports and exports. It doesn't have any real power. In my opinion, it's not even as good as Zhou Mingyue's second uncle's family."
"Although the Zhou family isn't particularly outstanding, they can still get involved in the Construction Bureau and the Tax Bureau!"
Kong Yuzhen retorted defiantly, "I heard that their Lan family ancestors were from the canal gang, and were later recruited by the government. If we're talking about that, their Lan family isn't as legitimate as my Kong family!"
Su Qingci's heart was in turmoil. "What does this Brother Meng Bai you mentioned do?"
Kong Yuzhen gently shook her head. "I don't know. I only know that he and my brother have business dealings."
"Yu Yan, waaaaah, what should I do? I really love Brother Meng Bai~"
"You're so smart, can you think of a solution for me? I discovered a long time ago that Zhou Mingyue, that bitch, is always hanging around in front of my brother Meng Bai, but my brother doesn't care, but he does care about me."
"Actually, when she first married into the family, although I didn't like her, I didn't intend to make things difficult for her. I sincerely hoped that she and my brother would live a good life together, and I also hoped that my sister-in-law would be genuinely good to my brother. But even after she got married, she still couldn't settle down!"
"I'm so angry! I'm going to expose her true colors in front of Brother Meng Bai!"
"Shameless woman, she's already married, yet she still tries to get close to other men. Isn't that just being a slut?"
Su Qingci nodded and said to Kong Yuzhen, word by word, "Yes, shameless and hateful thing. She knows he has a wife but still tries to get close to him. She's so despicable. What's she thinking? Doesn't she know she's married? Doesn't she know he has a family?"
"This one breakup has destroyed two families!"
Hearing this, Kong Yuzhen felt inexplicably uncomfortable, but seeing Su Qingci agreeing with her, she didn't think much of it.
She wiped away her tears with a resentful expression, while insisting that she must make Brother Meng Bai see her true colors.
Su Qingci verbally joined Kong Yuzhen in cursing Zhou Mingyue, but in her mind she was ranting and raving.
Is Kong Yuzhen, that lousy thing, sick or something?
You think you can find out that Zhou Mingyue is seducing your Meng Bai brother? Who do you think you are? What does this have to do with you? You'd better keep your face covered, or that Lan Shu might suddenly find out about you one day.
How did Kong Liu educate his younger sister? For someone with an underdeveloped brain and a completely underdeveloped cerebellum, he simply embedded her foot in the wall, making it impossible for her to pry it out.
She even tries to act like the female lead, wanting to save the male lead from his unhappy marriage?
You still have the nerve to call Zhou Mingyue a slut? Is she a slut? She's clearly your best friend who shares your ideals!
Seeing that the other party was completely love-struck and wanted to save Meng Bai from his miserable state, Su Qingci was too lazy to persuade her anymore!
It was Meng Bai who caught Su Qingci's attention during Kong Yuzhen's narration.
Meng Bai's ancestral home and age are unknown (according to Kong Yuzhen, he was around 24 to 27 years old!).
He married Lan Shu, the eldest daughter of the Lan family, but many socialites and young ladies in Shanghai were also infatuated with him. He also had easy access to wealthy and influential families, and was a frequent guest of honor in many households. (The Lan family held authority over customs inspections and other related matters.)
His position is currently unknown, but it is known that he is very influential in Shanghai and often discusses business with Kong Liu, who treats him with considerable respect.
Su Qingci couldn't help but suspect that Meng Bai might be an important member of the cultural relic smuggling organization that Kong Liu was involved with, or even Kong Liu's superior.
The relationship between Zhou Mingyue and Kong Liu is also intriguing.
"Alright, Yuzhen, don't cry," Su Qingci said tenderly, wiping away the tears from Kong Yuzhen's face.
"You've only been home for a day, and look at the mess you've made. I'm not saying it's your fault, but you were really too impulsive. What kind of sister-in-law goes around telling everyone her brother is being cheated on?"
"Your brother, hey, your brother is someone important, he has so many people under him, how can you make such a scene and make him lose face? What will people think of him?"
"Listen to me, go downstairs and apologize to your brother later. Didn't you say that your brother always meets with your Meng Bai brother when he comes back from business trips? If you're still angry with him, there's no reason for you to go with him!"
