Chapter 18: Wedding without a groom
Before Meng Yitong could say anything, her mother spoke first: "It's too early to call now! After all, our Yiyi hasn't even met Mr. Qin yet."
Uncle Meng's face froze at what Mother Meng said, but Director Qin said naturally, "Zhuoran should have come to visit earlier, but his overseas project had some problems, so he has been delayed until now."
After Mr. Qin finished speaking, he looked at Meng Yitong again, sighed and continued, "Originally, he was going to come to today's dinner, but due to weather problems, the plane was delayed and he couldn't come. I'm sorry Yiyi this time. When Zhuoran comes back, I'll give him a few days off so that he can spend some time with you."
Before Meng Yitong could speak, Mr. Meng said, "It's understandable. Work comes first. We can eat together anytime."
Then he started to pull Director Qin to drink.
Meng Yitong was speechless. What does it mean that we can eat together at any time? Is this a normal meal?
Unfortunately, Meng Yitong didn’t have the chance to speak at the table, not even her father and mother.
Meng Yitong lowered her head and listened to the generous words of Mr. Meng and Uncle Meng, and felt sick in her heart.
But Meng Yitong also knew that now was not the time for her to lose her temper. The marriage is a foregone conclusion. If she gets angry now, even if she is the wronged party, it will only leave others with the impression that she is ignorant and inappropriate, which will be detrimental to her future life.
In the dream, wasn’t the original owner a person who would vent her emotions immediately when she was wronged? And the final outcome was that everyone came to blame her.
Meng Yitong lowered her head and thought to herself that before she had absolute strength, it would be better for her to be honest and low-key.
So as to avoid giving others the opportunity to stand on the moral high ground and criticize you with an ignorant attitude.
But it's not so easy to just get away with this matter. Otherwise, if you really think you are a person without temper, then you will just let them do whatever they want in the future.
When Meng Yitong thought of this, her eyes turned red and she lowered her head with a look of grievance. Coupled with her delicate appearance, she looks so pitiful.
When Chairman Qin saw Meng Yitong's pitiful appearance, he felt that his family had gone a bit too far this time.
Although it was indeed unexpected that Qin Zhuoran's flight was delayed tonight. But it is also a fact that my family had no intention of visiting before.
Chairman Qin thought secretly: It seems that I have to increase the betrothal gift a little more later, so that my daughter-in-law's family won't feel uncomfortable and unable to live a peaceful life in the future.
If I give her more face now, she will spend more time on Zhuoran after marriage.
Chairman Qin thought so and sent another message to the lawyer.
Mrs. Qin looked at Meng Yitong, who seemed about to cry, and cursed her in her heart, "She is a vixen."
But she said with a smile: "Yitong, don't mind it. Zhuoran is not targeting you this time. He is really too busy. He spends nearly half of the year on the plane! You have to learn to understand in the future!"
Meng Yitong also put on a sensible and slightly shy look and said, "I understand."
On the surface, Duan is well-behaved and sensible.
But in fact, Meng Yitong’s mind was full of complaints: Look, Mrs. Qin is indeed a scheming stepmother.
If the original owner were here, maybe he would have developed disgust and fear towards this marriage because of this sentence from the beginning?
Mrs. Qin said a few more words, and Meng Yitong continued to agree with her with an expression that said, "I feel wronged, but I understand and I am strong."
After Mrs. Qin said a few words, she felt it was boring to see Meng Yitong's reaction like this, so she turned around and started chatting with Aunt Meng.
"I went to your last exhibition. There was a painting called 'Girl in a Wheat Field' that I really liked. Which emerging artist painted this? We can invite him to the next tea party to meet him."
"You can see it. This is my daughter's work. She is continuing her further studies abroad now. When she comes back, I will invite you all to get together and let her come over to say hello to you all." Aunt Meng said with a smile.
When Meng Yitong heard this, she raised her eyelids and glanced at the expressions of the people present.
I found that except for my family, everyone else's expressions were very natural, as if this was an irrelevant person, and as if the previous engagement and runaway incident had never happened.
Meng Yitong looked at her mother's angry face and sighed to herself: It turned out that her family was incompatible with the wealthy family. Look at them, they may all be unaware of this, but they are able to remain calm.
"What a pity..." Before Meng Yitong could think deeply about it, she heard Mrs. Qin sigh meaningfully.
I don’t know whether she was sighing because she couldn’t meet this emerging painter or because the man she married was not this emerging painter?
