Chapter 4 (7)
Yu Meng initially didn't understand why Weng Yue was willing to accompany her abroad to see her son during the Lunar New Year holiday. She already had a brother and a niece, and during this special Lunar New Year, she should be with them. Perhaps she felt Weng Yang was too much of a burden? But even if her brother wasn't doing well, as an aunt, she should always consider her niece's feelings.
Weng Yue has no children. Her eldest niece is very important. One of them may be an important companion in her later years.
However, when they arrived at school and saw Haoyu and Zhengyu, Weng Yue suddenly said that he wanted to see a friend - a little kid.
A girl.
Yu Meng suddenly understood.
This girl is Weng Yue's target. Oh no, no, not the girl herself, 80% of the time it's the man behind the girl, for example, her father, who is Weng Yue's target.
Weng Yue has not accepted his fate and is trying to "save the country in a roundabout way."
Yu Meng asked her son Haoyu to inquire about the girl. Haoyu was startled. His mother wasn't asking about anyone else. It was Han Xiqian. He was in a sweet and passionate relationship with her. And being in love was exactly what Yu Meng had repeatedly forbidden.
"Just an ordinary girl." Haoyu evaded the question.
Yu Meng was not satisfied with this answer.
"My family is quite rich." Haoyu added.
Yu Meng was now satisfied. Flies don't bite cracked eggs. Would Weng Yue rush to curry favor with the daughter of a poor family? Seeing his mother's uncertain expression, Haoyu quickly took drastic measures.
"Dad was here."
Luan Chengyun? Doesn't he have time?
Going back on one's word. Unscrupulous businessman.
"Did you say anything?"
"without."
"Give her the living expenses, right?" Yu Meng asked with concern. She still hated him for giving her so little in the divorce.
"I gave it to you." Haoyu replied, "Mom, I'm firmly on your side."
The mention of her ex-husband had Yu Meng in a state of confusion, and she had no mood to ask about the girl. However, this little thing wasn't a problem for Yu Meng. While Weng Yue was taking the girl out for dinner and shopping, she had already found out the girl's background. Her father was Han Guang. He seemed to have worked at the same company as Weng Yue. However, he was much more senior than Weng Yue. Weng Yue was a director of one company, while Han Guang was a director of several. There were photos of Han Guang online. Several small photos of him attending events. He was hidden in the crowd, so it was hard to see clearly, but it was clear that he looked quite ordinary. He was no match for Zu Liangcai.
Liangcai had contacted her a few years ago. She said she was going abroad. He didn't make any further arrangements. He had a job and couldn't travel abroad easily. Accompanying her was out of the question. But he asked for her itinerary and said he would pick her up at the airport when he returned.
Jiang Taigong fishes, and those who are willing to take the bait will be caught.
Yu Meng felt that, so far, she had the upper hand in her relationship with Zu Liangcai. Unlike Weng Yue, who, hmm, was so pathetic she had to fawn over someone else's daughter. But precisely because of this, Yu Meng felt she could be friends with Weng Yue. They were both women who couldn't live without a man. Even a woman like Weng Yue, who had no financial pressure in her life, still desired a man's love.
This has nothing to do with money.
Money is often just a byproduct of achieving value. Women need men to pamper them, and men need women to torture them. This is the way of nature... The way begets one, one begets two, two begets three, and three begets all things. Where there is heaven, there is earth; where there is yin, there is yang. Men and women are meant to be together... Yu Meng couldn't understand Yu Shuang's ascetic independence and persistence.
After so many Western meals, Yu Meng and Weng Yue escaped to Chinatown for roast duck to soothe their appetites. When it was served, it tasted nothing like the ones back home. They ate it anyway.
"So I don't want to go abroad," said Yu Meng.
Weng Yue smiled and said, "I haven't seen you eat much in the country either."
"If you have it, you don't care. If you don't have it, you want it again. That's just how mean people are." Yu Meng said, "You sit back and wait for something, then you get something else, and you want something more. You're never satisfied."
"I really envy you, two sons," Weng Yue said half-seriously. She had had abortions several times when she was young. Whether she could still have children was still a mystery.
"You can give birth too."
"It's not that easy."
"Ouch," Yu Meng waved her arms, which were as soft as seaweed. "My Mr. Weng, you want a child. It won't take a minute."
"The problem is who to deal with." Weng Yue raised the key question.
Yu Meng didn't continue the conversation. She certainly wasn't stupid enough to bring up Han Guang directly. Some things could only come from Weng Yue herself. If she brought it up, it would be a sin. "That girl is quite pretty," Yu Meng offered as a lead. She had accompanied Weng Yue to meet Han Xiqian. She had even secretly taken photos of the girl.
Weng Yue said nothing. He rolled up a roast duck and stuffed it into his mouth.
This cannot be discussed anymore.
Yu Meng then said, "Women, don't be too proactive."
Weng Yue said indifferently, "That's you."
"Really? Whether you're pretty or ugly, if you're too proactive, people will think you're worthless." Yu Meng was preaching about her love experience, even though she had only had a few pitiful romances. "You have to hold on," Weng Yue retorted, laughing.
Two people came. A man and a woman.
Weng Yue was facing it and saw it first. His smile faded.
"What for?" Yu Meng put down his chopsticks and looked back.
A woman, holding Luan Chengyun's arm, walked over to the seats next to Yu Meng and the others and sat down. Yu Meng felt like she'd just eaten a fly. He was everywhere! And he even brought a slut with him! He brought her here to visit his son? Why didn't he hear what Haoyu said? What a bastard! He's still talking about remarriage, but he's already having an affair faster than anyone else!
A man's mouth is full of lies!
Humph! Pah!
"Don't look at him." Yu Meng lowered his voice and said to Weng Yue.
Weng Yue smiled and adjusted his gaze.
Yu Meng spat again, "What taste! Bringing pheasant! This is a duck restaurant!"
Weng Yue advised her to speak more quietly.
Yu Meng said: "He has no shame, why should we run away?"
Weng Yue pushed the plate forward and said, "It's not as simple as you think."
"What's so complicated about it?"
"Are they here to discuss business?"
"I don't care!"
"Old Luan is a billionaire now."
This was the second time Weng Yue had mentioned this. It looked like she'd done a lot of research. Yu Meng's mind buzzed. Could it be that Weng Yue was interested in Luan Chengyun? No, it was true that she was interested in the girl surnamed Han. But it wasn't ruled out that she was casting a wide net. The girl's father was her type, and maybe Old Luan, too. Weng Yue looked up. Luan Chengyun was looking in her direction. Weng Yue reminded him, "Looking over here."
"Eat ours." Yu Meng said.
"You didn't even say hello? We're still friends."
Yu Meng didn't respond. She just ate heartily. That was her attitude. The woman next to Luan Chengyun might be a sidekick, just there to play with him, to satisfy his lust.
After a while, Luan and his female companion got up and left.
Passing by Yu Meng and Weng Yue's table, he stopped and smiled, "It's a small world."
Yu Meng stared at the roast duck bones.
Weng Yue smiled back, "It's fate."
Luan added, "My son's tuition has been paid." He told Yu Meng and Weng Yue. Yu Meng remained stubborn. Divorce meant they were no longer friends.
The female companion took Luan Chengyun's arm again and left gracefully.
After everyone left the store, Weng Yue said he was going to pay the bill. He turned around and came back, smiling, "Lao Luan helped us pay."
Nosy! Show off!
Yu Meng felt a stone stuck in her heart until she returned to her residence. It was a good thing that her son's tuition was in place and someone helped to pay the bill. But the person who did it was Luan Chengyun, and he said it in front of Weng Yue, which seemed to be deliberately embarrassing her. He was rich and didn't even spend a lot of money during the divorce? Now that the "encryption" business is big, he can visit prostitutes every day and do whatever he wants? Why not encrypt the things below. Weng Yue knew that Yu Meng was unhappy and came to persuade her, but it sounded like sarcasm, "He has two precious sons and he has made money. What else is there to be dissatisfied with."
"It's not about the money."
Weng Yue wiped her hair and said, "What is that? Feelings? After so many years, love must have turned into family affection. It's all normal."
"You talk like you've been married for years."
"Even if you haven't eaten pork, you've seen a pig run." Weng Yue said, "Old Luan is not bad."
Yu Meng's first reaction: Did he send her? To lobby? Not likely. Then why was she always speaking for the enemy? She had so many grievances, but Yu Meng couldn't express them. Speaking frankly would only make her look bad. Could she say Luan had affairs outside, had affairs with multiple women? Could she say he hit her? Could she say she felt disrespected? Could she say she'd been under his violent rule all this time? Her divorce was tantamount to an uprising. Even more magnificent than the Parisian storming of the Bastille!
She could only jokingly say, "I'll give it to you."
Weng Yue groaned and laughed, "If I really had a child with him, could you bear it?"
Obviously, she couldn't stand it. Yu Meng said stubbornly, "Just give birth to as many children as you want. No one will care if you give birth to a football team."
Weng Yue said, "Meng, seriously, if you really don't want it, I'll have to promote Lao Luan when I have the chance. It's better to keep the wealth within the family."
"Whatever you want." Yu Meng said unhappily.
The next day, she brought the children out for dinner again. Yu Meng called Haoyu Zhengyu, hinting at a rivalry with Luan Chengyun. If she didn't take her son, he'd probably have to take him away. She didn't want that. Weng Yue asked Han Xiqian to come out, but the girl said she was busy.
Have to stay for a few more days.
After a long search, Weng Yue and Yu Meng finally decided on a nearby alpine lake. A Taiwanese hotel had opened up in the area, a popular online destination. The lake, nestled beside a shallow, calm alpine lake, was a popular spot for check-ins and boating.
Zhengyu's school wouldn't let him go. Haoyu wanted to go to Koreatown with his classmates. Neither of them wanted to go with their mom. Yu Meng's only travel companion was Weng Yue. Han Xiqian also refused to come—the little girl wasn't very interested in nature.
The arrival was smooth, and the check-in was smooth. The scenery of the lake area is indeed beautiful. They all said it resembled Xu Zhimo's Cambridge. Ten years ago, they were all fans of Xu Zhimo.
Yu Meng said, "That's a river. This is a lake. They're different."
Weng Yue corrected herself, "Thoreau's Walden Pond is probably similar to this." The sun was shining, and the two women were in high spirits. They rented a boat and set out on the lake. However, after the boat had drifted a few feet, Weng Yue fell overboard, oars and all.
