Chapter 576 Yuqing, Yumo wants to talk to you
After hanging up Shen Yumo's phone, Cheng Xuyuan's heart was filled with emotion.
He really didn't expect that Shen Yumo actually wanted to help him!
He knew clearly that Shen Yumo's help was sincere.
But no matter how Cheng Xuyuan thought about it, he found it funny that Shen Yumo was helping him.
Therefore, Cheng Xuyuan rejected Shen Yumo's kindness without hesitation.
But after hanging up the phone, Cheng Xuyuan felt that he had nothing to do.
Just when he was thinking whether he should take this opportunity to write more about The Mortal's Journey to Immortality, the phone rang again.
Cheng Xuyuan answered the phone and heard Zhang Guangnian's voice.
"Xuyuan, there is a welcoming banquet at 7 o'clock tonight. I'll have someone pick you up at 6:30."
"Although this is a simple welcoming banquet, you must pay more attention."
"There are quite a few leaders attending this welcoming banquet."
Listening to Zhang Guangnian's voice on the phone, Cheng Xuyuan felt a little emotional.
He is not very interested in these things now, but he is also very clear that the scale of this welcoming banquet is definitely not inferior to the one to welcome his return.
At this time, he couldn't refuse.
So he said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhang, I know what to do."
"By the way, Xuyuan, you'd better bring your partner with you to the welcoming banquet this time. It will be more lively this way."
Zhang Guangnian said with a smile: "I accompanied you to Paris, so we are returning together."
"How can there be no one to share in this reception?"
Hearing Zhang Guangnian's words, Cheng Xuyuan hesitated for a moment. Before he could speak, Zhang Guangnian said, "That's it. If someone wants to see me, let's meet and talk."
I knew Zhang Guangnian was busy, but I didn't expect him to be so busy.
There was a beeping sound coming from the receiver, and Cheng Xuyuan's heart moved when he heard it.
He really wanted to know what Fang Yuqing had told her family, but he had never made up his mind to call.
Now, isn't this a good opportunity?
In a flash, Cheng Xuyuan dialed Fang Yuqing's home phone number.
However, after calling out, Cheng Xuyuan's heart started beating violently.
He was worried, expectant, and even more anxious...
Just as he was feeling confused and uneasy, the call was connected and Cheng Xuyuan heard Meng Fanjin's voice coming from the phone.
"Hello, who are you looking for?"
In the past, Cheng Xuyuan felt somewhat close to Meng Fanjin.
But now, listening to Meng Fanjin's voice, Cheng Xuyuan felt more uneasy in his heart.
He hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Aunt Meng, I'm Cheng Xuyuan, may I ask Fang Yuqing?"
When there was a pause in the phone, Meng Fanjin had actually made some judgment in his mind.
When she heard Cheng Xuyuan's voice at this time, the anger in her heart increased a little.
But thinking of her daughter's decision, she took a deep breath and said, "Xuyuan, you dropped a bomb on our family this time."
When Cheng Xuyuan heard Meng Fanjin's faint voice, he felt extremely distressed.
But now that things have come to this, he has no way out.
So after taking a breath, Cheng Xuyuan tried to calm himself down and said, "Aunt Meng, no matter how many reasons there are, I am the one who is wrong."
"I...I want to talk to Yuqing, is that okay?"
Meng Fanjin seldom engages in verbal battles with others on a daily basis, but she is a mother, so at this moment, she really wants to have a debate with Cheng Xuyuan.
But in the end, she sighed and said, "Wait a moment, I'll go call Yuqing."
Meng Fanjin was very clear that even if he scolded Cheng Xuyuan at this moment, it would only be lip service.
There was no help at all for my daughter.
Now, what his daughter needs is to face this matter together with Cheng Xuyuan, rather than stepping forward on her own and making the matter bigger.
There is actually no use in making a big deal about this.
So the rational Meng Fanjin chose not to say anything.
Saying nothing is not cowardice, but rationality.
In just one minute, Fang Yuqing answered the call.
She said softly, "What do you want to talk to me about?"
Cheng Xuyuan wanted to ask Fang Yuqing on the phone what her family's attitude was, but in the end, he said, "There will be a welcoming banquet tonight to welcome us back."
"Do you have time to join me?"
Hearing Cheng Xuyuan's invitation, Fang Yuqing hesitated for a moment and asked, "Do I have to participate?"
"I have to go, but I think it would be better if we both attend together." Cheng Xuyuan did not say what Zhang Guangnian said, but took the matter on himself.
Fang Yuqing hesitated for a moment, then asked softly, "What time?"
"Six-thirty in the afternoon. I'll pick you up at six." Cheng Xuyuan's voice was full of surprise.
According to Cheng Xuyuan's experience, Fang Yuqing's agreement to attend the welcoming banquet actually means that things are developing in a good direction.
Fang Yuqing hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll come to see you before half past six. You should get ready at home."
"Don't rush when the time comes."
Cheng Xuyuan hurriedly said, "It's okay, I'll pick you up. I'll drive over there, it won't take long."
Fang Yuqing hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll go over there."
"Listen to me this time."
Hearing this, Cheng Xuyuan hesitated for a moment, but finally agreed.
Just when he was thinking about whether to say something else, Fang Yuqing said, "If you have anything to say, let's talk about it in person. If not, I'll hang up now."
Listening to the beeping sound on the phone, all kinds of thoughts surged in Cheng Xuyuan's mind.
The fact that Fang Yuqing was able to accompany him to attend the party proved that things had not yet developed in the worst direction.
It can even be said that things are changing for the better.
Just as Cheng Xuyuan was pondering over what to say to Fang Yuqing when they met, Fang Yuqing, who had just hung up the phone, heard the phone at home ringing again.
When Fang Yuqing heard the phone ringing, she was stunned for a moment and thought it was Cheng Xuyuan calling again.
Although she felt that Cheng Xuyuan seemed a bit clingy at the moment, she still answered the phone.
The moment the call was connected, she heard Zhang Dening's voice coming from the phone.
Fang Yuqing and Zhang Dening have always had a good relationship. When she heard Zhang Dening's voice, she asked in a deep voice, "Dening, what do you want to talk to me about?"
When Zhang Dening heard Fang Yuqing's voice, he smiled and said, "Yuqing, welcome back."
"I'm calling you to ask a question for a friend."
Hearing Zhang Dening's serious words, and hearing that the person was Zhang Dening's friend, a name instantly appeared in Fang Yuqing's mind.
She hesitated for a moment and said, "Ask?"
Both Zhang Dening who made the call and Fang Yuqing who answered the phone were very smart women. They could already tell a lot from the simple question "Ask me".
A sense of guilt inexplicably arose in Zhang Dening's heart.
But for the sake of her friend, she had no choice but to ask, "Yuqing, Yumo called me just now and said he hoped to talk to you."
"But she thinks it's a bit presumptuous to call you so she asked me to ask you first if it's okay to call you."
Shen Yumo wants to talk to me on the phone.
It was not what he thought. Shen Yumo asked Zhang Dening about his and Cheng Xuyuan's choices.
Fang Yuqing's mind was spinning rapidly, and she finally said, "Okay, I want to talk to Shen Yumo, too."
"If it's inconvenient for her to call me now, then let me call her."
Zhang Dening didn't expect that things would go so smoothly.
But the smoother things went, the more uncertain she felt.
After hesitating for a moment, she finally said to Fang Yuqing: "Yuqing, you should think about this matter again."
“No hurry.”
"You can contact me when you've made up your mind."
Fang Yuqing could hear Zhang Dening's good intentions from her words.
She smiled and said, "De Ning, thank you for your kindness."
"But it's not necessary."
"I've already thought about everything I need to think about. It's not bad to talk to her about it."
Listening to Fang Yuqing's words, Zhang Dening pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll tell Yu Mo right away. She should call you in ten minutes at the latest."
"Okay, thank you for trouble, De Ning." Fang Yuqing said with a smile.
Listening to Fang Yuqing's polite words, Zhang Dening felt helpless.
To be honest, her heart was filled with emotions at this moment.
This feeling was due firstly to Shen Yumo and secondly to Fang Yuqing.
This kind of situation actually happened between two such outstanding girls.
It’s really all Cheng Xuyuan’s fault!
No matter how well this guy writes Farewell My Concubine, I still won't forgive him.
Just as Zhang Dening was about to inform Shen Yumo, Meng Fanjin asked Fang Yuqing, "Yuqing, what did Cheng Xuyuan say?"
"There is a welcoming banquet today, and Xuyuan wants to invite me to go with him." Fang Yuqing said calmly, "I agree."
Meng Fanjin was very clear about the significance of this welcoming banquet.
Hearing Fang Yuqing agree, she nodded gently and said, "It's right to agree. There's no need for you to be angry about this matter."
"This time, we can talk openly about it."
At this point, she asked with concern: "Whose other call is it?"
Fang Yuqing was unwilling to hide this matter from her mother, so she said calmly: "It was Shen Yumo who called through a friend. She wanted to talk to me."
"I agree."
Hearing Fang Yuqing say this, Meng Fanjin's expression changed.
What was Shen Yumo's purpose in calling at this time? She wouldn't...
After hesitating for a while, Meng Fanjin said: "Yuqing, how about this call..."
"Mom, it's okay. We'll have to contact each other sooner or later. Why not talk now?"
"To be honest, I have some things in my mind that I hope to talk to Shen Yumo about."
Listening to Fang Yuqing's words, Meng Fanjin hesitated for a moment, and finally stopped talking.
It's just a phone call, she's right next to me, so there's nothing to be afraid of.
Just then, the phone rang.
Looking at the ringing phone, Meng Fanjin wanted to say something, but Fang Yuqing answered the call directly.
"Hello!" Fang Yuqing didn't say who she was, but just greeted.
But Fang Yuqing didn't need to introduce herself. As soon as she said hello, the person on the other end of the line said, "Is this Yuqing? I'm Shen Yumo."
Fang Yuqing was already prepared for how to address Shen Yumo.
After all, she never knew when she would meet Shen Yumo.
So when she heard Shen Yumo's introduction, she said in a deep voice: "Sister Yumo, I am Fang Yuqing."
After the two people confirmed each other's identities, they did not speak immediately, but fell silent for a while.
However, the two did not doubt whether there was a problem with the phone. They both knew that they were on the other end of the phone line.
In the end, it was Shen Yumo who broke the slightly awkward silence.
She said in a deep voice: "Yuqing, I called you this time to explain something to you."
"An An's matter is mainly my fault."
"I didn't intend to tell Cheng Xuyuan, but he found out by accident."
"And by the time he found out, I was about to give birth to An An."
At this point, she continued, "My fate with Cheng Xuyuan has ended."
"I just want to be less lonely for the rest of my life, so I have this child. I hope you... you don't care too much."
Although Shen Yumo had already prepared her speech, she still paused before saying the last word.
Fang Yuqing hesitated for a moment and said, "Sister Yumo, you are Xuyuan's ex-wife."
"What happened to you before is your business."
"Now that you're divorced, this is a matter between Xuyuan and me."
At this point, Fang Yuqing hesitated for a moment and said, "But thank you for the call anyway."
Shen Yumo listened to Fang Yuqing's calm voice and felt that although he had a lot to say in his heart, at this moment, he could not say anything.
She hesitated for a moment, and finally said, "Yuqing, I really hope that you two can be happy."
"Thank you. I also hope that you, Sister Yumo, can find your own happiness." Fang Yuqing said softly.
Shen Yumo sighed. She felt that she hadn't said what she wanted to say.
But under the current circumstances, there was really no need for her and Fang Yuqing to continue talking.
Because if we continue talking, it will make both sides feel awkward.
After hesitating for a moment, she said, "Okay, we can contact you anytime if you have any questions."
"I think the main reason for the misunderstanding is the lack of communication."
Fang Yuqing did not make any judgment on Shen Yumo's words, but just said calmly: "Goodbye."
As she was speaking, Fang Yuqing hung up the phone.
Although Shen Yumo asked Zhang Dening to make an appointment in advance for this call, in reality, the two of them only talked for less than two minutes.
Just as Fang Yuqing was pondering, Meng Fanjin asked, "Yuqing, what did you talk about?"
Fang Yuqing smiled and said, "Mom, Shen Yumo gave me a promise that she didn't want to continue living with Cheng Xuyuan, so I can rest assured."
Meng Fanjin pondered for a moment, and finally said: "Yuqing, I think no matter what Shen Yumo said, your own happiness still depends on you."
"Mom, I know what to do, don't worry." After a slight hesitation, Fang Yuqing said with great confidence.
Looking at his daughter's face full of confidence, Meng Fanjin felt relieved.
Just when Fang Yuqing hung up the phone with Shen Yumo, Shen Yunliang sat in Meng Dezhi's office.
In fact, Meng Dezhi hoped that the two of them could have the conversation outside.
It’s just that what the two people talked about was not suitable for others to know, and most hotels nowadays don’t even have a private room, so Meng Dezhi finally chose the office.
When invited by Meng Dezhi from the street, Shen Yunliang knew why Meng Dezhi invited him.
His wife went to find out about Meng Dezhi's wife and told him about it when she came back.
Although he didn't quite agree with his wife's actions, he couldn't object to it.
As a parent, who doesn't want their children to be well? I hope Shen Yumo can live a good life, and my wife also hopes Shen Yumo can live a good life.
She used her own methods to help Shen Yumo live a good life. Even if she disagreed, there was nothing she could blame her for.
However, Meng Dezhi's family has not responded at all.
After all, Cheng Xuyuan went to Paris to receive the award.
Now that Cheng Xuyuan is back, it's time to talk about what happened.
"Old Shen, I know you can play chess. How about we play a game and talk while we play?" After Meng Dezhi made another cup of tea for Shen Yunliang, he invited with a smile.
Shen Yunliang did not refuse this invitation.
He smiled and said, "Okay, I'll play a round with you."
"But please don't be offended that my chess skills are limited."
When the two people were talking this time, their minds were not on playing chess, so naturally they didn't think it was strange.
Meng Dezhi took out the chessboard, and the two of them set up their chariots, horses, and cannons. Amid the clattering sounds of the moves, neither of them spoke much.
In just seven or eight minutes, the game of chess came to an end.
Although Shen Yunliang said that his chess skills were limited, in the end, he was still a match for Meng Dezhi.
Looking at the chessboard that had already reached the endgame, Meng Dezhi said, "Old Shen, I came here earlier than you this time. You know what I'm talking about."
Shen Yunliang nodded. If he pretended to know nothing at this moment, it would mean that he looked down on Meng Dezhi.
Meng Dezhi continued, "Cheng Xuyuan and I have learned about this matter."
"Cheng Xuyuan said that he and Shen Yumo have already made an appointment for this matter."
"Neither of them wants to break the current agreement."
"I think that young people's affairs should be handled in a way that young people should handle."
"What do you think?"
Shen Yunliang had received a call from his daughter before. He forced a smile and said, "Mr. Meng is right. Let the young people make their own decisions."
"We can only give them some suggestions."
"If they are willing to listen, that's better. If they are not willing to listen, then we respect their choice."
Meng Dezhi was playing with a chess piece and said casually, "Who said it wasn't?"
Neither of them spoke, and after a minute, Shen Yunliang said goodbye and left.
