Mao Huimei is 24 years old this year. In the eyes of Xia Wenyue's generation, she is already an older single woman. If she were not still in school, Xia Wenyue and Mao Zhishan would be worried.
The first year she entered college, there was a very handsome boy who was said to have excellent grades and pursued her relentlessly. Xia Mian still remembered that his name was Qi Kai.
She always sent Mao Huimei home, so almost everyone in the family had met her. Xia Wenyue was once waiting for her to officially bring her home, but there was no movement later.
"He's a nice guy, hardworking and motivated, but he always talks about his parents," Mao Huimei said at the time. "Whenever I buy clothes, he says I'm not frugal, and that practicality is all that matters, not fashion."
"Then there's the idea that his parents haven't had a good life yet, so he needs to start working hard first and not spend money recklessly."
Mao Huimei couldn't help but complain, "He worked hard for his own business, and I didn't spend his money. I used my own money to buy clothes, and he lectured me. We're not even married yet, and he's already doing this. What will happen after we get married?"
"But it's not unbearable," Mao Huimei said. "I later learned that his family is extremely patriarchal. His mother is probably similar to my grandmother."
This is the death sentence of Mao Huimei, no, it is the death sentence of everyone in the Mao family.
Mao Huimei guessed it when Qi Kai was drunk one time.
At that time, he directly asked, "You have three daughters. Have your parents decided which one to marry into your family?"
Mao Huimei thought that he was worried that his family would ask him to become a son-in-law, after all, marrying into a family was a shameful thing these days, so she said that Xia Wenyue had no intention of asking anyone to marry her into the family.
Then Qi Kai said, "You don't have a son, so who will own the family property in the future?"
Mao Huimei was furious. She didn't think that Qi Kai was coveting the Mao family's property, but she was very disgusted with the idea that his son could inherit everything.
After asking a few more questions, I found out that he had two older sisters and a younger sister, but he never mentioned it.
Mao Huimei didn't believe that her sisters hadn't made any sacrifices for him, but in his eyes, it was obvious that girls' sacrifices were taken for granted. Mao Huimei immediately and resolutely proposed to break up.
Later, Qi Kai came to bother her a few more times, but since Mao Huimei was unsuccessful, he bypassed her and went to Xia Wenyue, hoping to gain her approval.
If he hadn't let the secret slip after drinking too much, he would have seemed like a hardworking, filial, considerate, and thrifty son-in-law. But Xia Wenyue was not the naive Mao Huimei, and she knew his ambitions clearly.
Qi Kai is eyeing the Mao family's property.
Although Mao Huimei was very low-key at school and never talked about things like her family running a factory, as her family's financial situation improved, Mao Huimei followed Xia Wenyue to discuss business and learn etiquette, and her temperament and spending already reflected the difference from an ordinary family.
As long as the relationship is a little closer, they will understand, so Xia Wenyue refused more directly than Mao Huimei.
After that, he kept urging Mao Huimei to find another partner as soon as possible.
Now she looked at the young man in front of her. He was about 1.75 meters tall and his appearance was only about 7 points. But he knew how to take care of himself. He was very sunny when he smiled and was quite comfortable to look at.
His eyes fell on the BMW driven by He Wei. It seemed that his family was well-off. If that was the case, he would not lie to Mao Huimei.
Xia Wenyue quickly straightened her clothes and said, "He Wei, hello, I'm Huimei's mother."
"Hello, Auntie." He Wei smiled brightly. He looked at the mess in the next alley and said to Mao Huimei, "I heard you were moving, so I came to see if there was anything I could do to help."
"Where do I park my car?"
Mao Huimei felt even more embarrassed and quickly said, "No need."
She was wearing old work clothes because she was moving, which made her look very ugly. She didn't want him to see her in such a mess, so she smiled and said, "I'm almost done. I'll invite you home another day after I'm done. Otherwise, it would be rude."
He Wei seemed a little conflicted and looked like he wanted to help, but in the end he was persuaded to leave by Mao Huimei.
Xia Wenyue walked back with a heavy heart. Mao Huizhu had long been forgotten by her. She was thinking about He Wei at the moment. Finally, she sighed and said, "Forget it. There is no such thing as a perfect person."
Xia Mian knew what she was struggling with.
Look at the men around them, not to mention Mao Zhishan, as long as he is around, he won't let his wife and daughter do any heavy work;
Although Ning Shaobai is also a wealthy man, he never hesitates when it comes to working;
Zhou Xuewen used to be a nobleman who had never done housework, but after living here for a long time in the past two years, he has become like an ordinary husband and father. He will try his best to do the work whether he can do it or not.
As for He Wei just now, Mao Huimei was too young to tell, but Xia Wenyue had a sharp eye and knew that there was a difference between sincerity and politeness.
I don't know how much she thought about during that short journey. Finally, she sighed and said, "That's right. Children from rich families don't know how to work. It looks like they were spoiled."
"How many people like Dr. Ning are there in the world?"
After Xia Wenyue convinced herself, she began to think about what dowry to give to Mao Huimei.
Xia Mian couldn't help but laugh secretly. This era was so terrible. She was only 24 and already she was being pressured into getting married.
But it seems that this time, there is still a lot of fun.
On the day Xia Mian and Ning Shaoyun took Xiao Feng, Chen Chen, and Mao Huizhu to the amusement park, He Wei also came to pick up Mao Huimei to go out and play together.
Judging from Mao Huimei's happy expression, she obviously had a good time.
But when it comes to love, not only Mao Huimei is feeling romantic, but the high school graduates are also completely liberated.
In order to leave no regrets, their class reunion almost became a large-scale confession scene.
On the day of the party, Xia Mian first met up with Sun Yuexin and the others before heading back.
"Although the food is delicious, there are no private rooms, right?" Li Lizhen said, "Isn't it inconvenient for the party?" Whether for others or for themselves.
Zhao Cheng smiled and said, "Old Han is really smart. He invited Class 6 and Class 1 to have a party with our Class 3. There are more than a hundred people. He directly booked the entire Hao Zai Lai restaurant. Today, Hao Zai Lai is exclusively for students from Yanda High School. They are very relaxed."
This is a really good idea, cheap and comfortable.
"Han Haoyan is quite reliable in his work."
However, when they stood at the entrance of Hao Zailai Hotel, their eyes could not help but fall on a magnificent courtyard diagonally opposite. On the plaque were written the two big characters "Mingxuan" in a flamboyant style.
Sun Yuexin envied, "I wish we could go to Mingxuan to eat whenever we want. My dad took us there once, and the food there was delicious."
Xia Mian smiled, "But the price is also very good."
Sun Yuexin chuckled, "After eating this meal, my mother was heartbroken for a month. I will never go there again."
"Maybe after we get to work, we'll have a chance to get together there." Zhao Cheng said with a smile, "Let's go."
Just as Xia Mian was about to go in, his eyes suddenly fixed.
Seeing that she didn't catch up, Li Lizhen asked curiously, "Asummer sleep?"
"Oh. You go in first, I'll be there in a moment." Xia Mian stood at the door and looked at the young man walking out of Mingxuan.
The young man was wearing a floral shirt and flared pants, his hair was styled with mousse, and he was holding a beautiful girl in his arms.
It was not until the two men got into a BMW that Xia Mian confirmed that the man was He Wei.
It was really that the other person's dress and temperament were completely different from when he was in front of them. He looked fancy and dandy. If the car was not exactly the same, Xia Mian would have thought he was He Wei's twin brother.
The key point is, the person following him is Qi Kai...
Qi Kai was still dressed simply and followed them with dignity, and there was also a pretty girl with good temperament beside him.
Xia Mian slowly frowned and called Mao Huimei, "Sister, has He Wei looked for you these two days?"
Mao Huimei said, "He said he was going to the south to look at a project and won't be in Yan City recently. What's wrong?"
"Nothing," Xia Mian said, "I'll tell you when I get back."
