When they went to City B for the premiere of Out of the Solar System, Maureen struck while the iron was hot and recommended a new project to Zhang Huan. The entertainment industry has developed well in the past two years, and Maureen has several film and television projects on hand.
After a while, Zhang Huan hooked up with a female celebrity.
Maureen herself felt that she was the middleman who brought the two people together. If it was any other client, Maureen wouldn't care. What does it have to do with her?
But this is Zhang Yansheng’s father. Maureen and Zhang Yansheng get along very well, and the relationship between them more or less goes beyond that of ordinary clients. After much deliberation, Maureen decided to tell Zhang Yansheng because she was afraid that Zhang Yansheng and her mother would suffer.
"It's been a long time actually," she said, "but I was afraid it would affect your college entrance exam, so I waited until now. I'm sorry, Yansheng."
"Don't say sorry, Sister Xiao Mo, you didn't do anything wrong. This is none of your business." Zhang Yansheng told her, "You don't have to worry about me. My father's current wife is not my mother. My mother died a long time ago."
Hearing her say this, Maureen breathed a sigh of relief. Seeing that Zhang Yansheng's father was a habitual offender, and also seeing that Zhang Yansheng seemed to have gotten used to it, she thought for a moment and said to Zhang Yansheng, "Then you...protect your rights?"
Zhang Yansheng laughed: "Sister Xiao Mo, I just like your personality."
He didn't want to talk to her about feelings or anything, but wanted her to protect her own interests first, which was exactly what Zhang Yansheng wanted.
Having said that, when she sat on the terrace and looked at the snow-capped mountains and the open sky in the distance, she still felt a sense of desolation, like the dead water of an old man.
This emotion is no longer directed at Zhang Huan himself, or at any of his actions, but at marriage itself.
Zhang Yansheng never understood why Zhang Huan wanted to get married with Liang Yingying, because someone like Zhang Huan could totally live a life with colorful flags but no red flags. But after she experienced rebirth, seeing Liang Yingying's current status in the Zhang family and Zhang Huan's attitude and demands towards her, she already vaguely understood.
It turns out that sometimes when a man marries a woman, he may not want her as a wife. It is even possible that a very large majority of men think this way.
But when our focus falls on the female group, the ratio is just the opposite. The vast majority of women want love, a husband, and a harmonious and happy marriage. Of course, there are some women who want a tool, but compared with men, there is an inverted ratio between women and men who think so.
Zhang Yansheng is also a woman, so she cannot agree with Zhang Huan's view on marriage. Because in essence this view of marriage disregards the sanctity of marriage itself, turning marriage into utilitarian and low-level, and turning it into a means to achieve a certain quality of life.
This is true for Zhang Huan and Xu Lichen's parents as well. It was obvious that what Mr. Xu really liked was the kind of weak and dependent little white flower, but he married Mother Xu. It’s simply because Mother Xu is capable, can support a family, and can help him with his career.
This made Zhang Yansheng lose interest in marriage itself.
She even began to think about it now. To the point where Maureen had to call to warn her, was it because people had noticed that Zhang Huan’s old house was on fire, or was it because Maureen was too surprised by what she had seen?
Putting aside the little star in front of her, Zhang Yansheng was even thinking, if one day there really was a woman who made Zhang Huan want to change his wife, what should she do?
The result was that after Zhang Yansheng made comparisons of various hypotheses, he found that there was a high probability that he would...take the initiative to help Liang Yingying secure her position as Mrs. Zhang.
Because compared to anyone else, Liang Yingying is really a very weak opponent. Even to Zhang Yansheng, she is no longer worthy of being considered an opponent.
Zhang Yansheng has suppressed her to the extreme, turning her into a tool to the greatest extent, minimizing her influence on Zhang Huan, and even changing her influence on Zhang Heling and Zhang Shuocheng.
Not to mention the staff at home, from the aunt to the driver.
Simply put, when Liang Yingying was Mrs. Zhang, Zhang Yansheng controlled and influenced almost everything, including Zhang Huan.
Her interests can be maximized and her life can be most stable.
And if there is a woman whose influence on Zhang Huan is so great that he wants to change his wife, it is conceivable that this is a variable that is difficult to control. If this variable gave rise to other variables, such as giving Zhang Huan another child, there was no doubt that Zhang Yansheng's interests would be damaged and his status would be threatened.
This was not what she wanted to see.
Therefore, supporting Liang Yingying is her best choice.
At this time Yue Song came to the terrace. He brought the prepared wine and handed it to Zhang Yansheng.
This woke Zhang Yansheng up from her fantasies, and she suddenly realized that her current way of thinking was completely different from the hysterical girl in her previous life who only wanted her father to look at her more.
Zhang Yansheng couldn't help but be stunned.
"What's wrong?" Yue Song asked.
"Nothing." Zhang Yansheng took a sip of wine. At this time, it is very suitable to have a little alcohol to stimulate your nerves.
Yue Song then asked her: "Do you like it here?"
His collar is open, his collarbone is delicate, and his Adam's apple is sexy. Zhang Yansheng woke up in his arms this morning.
This place is far away from the world, without those selfish, vulgar and selfish troubles, only the beautiful scenery of nature and the kisses and hugs of lovers. It is simply a perfect moment.
If only life could be frozen here.
But apparently someone doesn't think so. Clearly someone wants time to move on.
Yue Song smoothed her hair and said, "We have vacation homes like this all over the world. Some are in this environment, and some are in big cities. Each has its own advantages."
Zhang Yansheng exclaimed: "Uncle and aunt have seen all the scenery in the world, how happy they are."
Yue Song smiled slightly: "I want to do the same."
Zhang Yansheng looked at him. His deep eyes were looking at her, and there was love surging in them, ready to burst out.
Zhang Yansheng was stunned. He had a premonition but didn't want to think about it.
"Yansheng," Yue Song said, "I hope to take you to every holiday home of ours, just like my parents did."
Zhang Yansheng said nothing.
Yue Song reached out, took the wine glass from her hand and put it aside.
He took her hand and stood up, then knelt on one knee in front of her.
Zhang Yansheng’s premonition came true.
The ring was obviously handed down from ancestors. It had a classical style and a huge gem, and it had a strong sense of inheritance and ritual.
Yue Song proposed to her: "Yan Sheng, marry me, let's travel around the world together, okay?"
Zhang Yansheng, a scumbag who turned her back on her boyfriend after she had lifted her skirt, first thought of a reason to refuse: "I am not yet of legal marriage age."
"Of course I know, so I think we should get engaged first." Yue Song stood up and sat beside her, holding her hand, and explained the reasons for his actions. "Our family is different from yours. Unlike your family, we don't have your father and your uncle. Our family is a grandparent family. My grandfather is old, and he is always worried that he will suddenly die, so he is very strict with me. So I didn't go to graduate school, and I will officially enter the family business this year. I will be really busy in the future. This means I can't always be with you in school."
College life is completely different from high school life.
The campus is colorful, youthful and free, and full of hormones. They were all boys of her actual age.
Zhang Yansheng understood it for a moment before he realized: "Are you afraid that I will change my mind?"
Yue Song looked up at the blue sky and admitted, "That's understandable."
Zhang Yansheng raised his eyebrows: "You don't seem to be such an unconfident person. Or do you have no confidence in me?"
"I have confidence in you and me. But I'm worried about something else." Yue Song said frankly, "Because I've been running between school and company, I know very well that these two environments are completely different. It can be said that there is a dimensional wall between them. And you will stay in school for at least four years. I'm worried that these two environments will bring different changes to you and me."
"It's a logical paradox," Zhang Yansheng pointed out mercilessly. "If by then we really have become unsuitable to be together due to the influence of the environment around us, what does it matter even if we get married? Doesn't divorce have any meaning?"
Yue Song and Zhang Yansheng have been together for a year, and he knows very well that Zhang Yansheng is a strong and persistent person. If you can't convince her, no matter how much you say, it will be useless.
The logical paradox she pointed out actually exists and cannot be refuted.
Yue Song sighed and put away the ring, but still held Zhang Yansheng's hand: "Tell me, how can I tie you down?"
Zhang Yansheng smiled and leaned over to kiss him.
The kiss was lingering and full of affection. Because this is the stage when young men and women's hormones are most impulsive and their brains are most controlled by dopamine.
Hormones tell their brains that they are happy and joyful at this moment.
But Zhang Yansheng is a scumbag, so she just wants to stay in this state with Yue Song and doesn't want to move forward.
Zhang Yansheng and Yue Song returned to City K in China.
Everyone's progress is different. At this time, Zhang Heling, a primary school graduate, is already preparing for her graduation exam, while Zhang Shuocheng, a fourth-grade student, has not yet finished his courses for this semester.
"Oh, you look like you're having a lot of fun. Where did you go?" Zhang Huan asked.
Zhang Yansheng was obviously very relaxed, and the dark circles under his eyes caused by lack of sleep in high school were all gone. The skin was so tender and smooth, like a peeled egg, without a single flaw.
So young that even middle-aged and elderly people are jealous!
Moreover, Zhang Huan always felt that there seemed to be something different between Zhang Yansheng's eyebrows and eyes, but he couldn't explain it clearly. Zhang Yansheng also looked at Zhang Huan.
She was too busy with her studies before and didn't pay much attention to him. After Maureen's reminder, I took a closer look and actually saw some clues.
The look on his face was indeed that of a man who was very happy to have both money and women.
Liang Yingying's attitude towards Zhang Yansheng is completely different now. She came up and said flatteringly, "Are you tired after sitting on the plane for a long time? If you want to eat something, I'll go talk to Auntie."
Zhang Yansheng shifted his gaze and also looked at Liang Yingying.
That look made Liang Yingying involuntarily think of the way those rich men looked at her when she attended dinners and parties when she was still a wild model.
Liang Yingying shuddered slightly, as if she clearly saw her position in the food chain.
