Lu Tian asked to eat hotpot, but it was almost dinner time and the hotpot restaurants near the hospital were basically full. Meng Jingdong drove her to another place, which looked like a private restaurant. It was quiet inside, with not many people coming and going. The waiter took them to their seats, where the ingredients and soup base were already laid out.
"The soup base here is very good, and the ingredients are fresh, no worse than the one you're going to eat at."
As long as the food tasted good, Lu Tian had no objection. She waited for the pot to boil before quietly cooking the vegetables and starting to eat. She was already very hungry after gathering the food, and it took her a long time to walk before she could eat. So she ate in silence until she was half full before she slowed down and felt like talking.
Her lips turned red and her forehead was sweaty from eating. She stopped halfway to eat a bite of the store's homemade yogurt. The yogurt was smooth and fragrant, with a spoonful of blueberry jam on top. It was sour and sweet without any additives, and it was exquisite and delicious.
In the middle of the process, someone who knew Meng Jingdong came over to say hello and was naturally surprised by her.
Meng Jingdong calmly introduced: "This is my wife."
"Oh? Congratulations! Why didn't you even tell me when President Meng was having a wedding? We're all looking forward to drinking in President Meng's wedding!" joked the middle-aged man with a big belly like a Maitreya Buddha.
"We haven't had the wedding banquet yet, but we will definitely invite Mr. Liu to the wedding."
"Hahaha, that's good, that's good. Congratulations in advance!" The man called Mr. Liu left with satisfaction.
Lu Tian put down her dishes and opened the wet wipes to wipe her hands and mouth. Because she had to lie in bed for most of the day, she didn't wear any makeup at all, so she wiped her hands and mouth without any scruples.
"Why did you agree to marry me in the first place? Although a second marriage doesn't affect your worth, what if I'm not easy to get rid of if you meet your true love?"
Meng Jingdong put down his chopsticks, frowned slightly and asked, "Why do you ask that?"
Lu Tian glanced at him and said very boldly, "It's because you introduced me to others so naturally. Speaking of marriage, I feel a little guilty. Besides, I keep an eye on your updates. What if you want to dump me? I don't want to be the one who gets dumped and be cuckolded without knowing it."
It's normal for people like them to have lovers, and it's not surprising that Meng Jingdong has a woman who can talk to him. However, the original novel describes him as a genius, still a virgin at the age of thirty, which is a rare animal.
"Don't worry, I won't let my beloved be wronged. If I find someone I love before our agreement expires, I will compensate you."
Lu Tian thought about it. What he meant was that he didn't have a sweetheart yet. She hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are you gay or straight?"
Meng Jingdong was drinking water when he heard this, and the water got stuck in his throat. He coughed for a long time before saying, "My hobby is the same as your gender."
That's right, otherwise the original owner would not have succeeded when she forced herself on him. However, in the memories she has received so far, she has no recollection of what happened that night. She only remembers it before going to bed and when she woke up in the morning. Could it be because... the lights were turned off?
She pinched a piece of cantaloupe and nibbled it slowly, her eyes fixed on the boiling pot, wondering what she was thinking. Meng Jingdong, having learned his lesson, would not speak easily. After a while, she started eating ice cream again. He couldn't help but ask, "You're eating so much messy food, can your stomach handle it?"
"I'm fine." She looked up and smiled. Her face looked young and beautiful under the light, full of collagen.
Meng Jingdong felt that she was being polite by not saying it directly because she was young.
After dinner, Meng Jingdong sent her back to the Zou family. After seeing her off to the door, he instructed her, "The doctor said the van driver will wake up in the next few days. Don't run around until he wakes up. If you need to go out, contact Wen Jin to accompany you."
Wen Jin was the female bodyguard he had sent. Regardless of why Meng Jingdong was worried about her safety, Lu Tian thanked him and they parted ways in front of the Zou family's gate.
When Lu Tian returned home, she found the TV in the living room still on. The nanny was watching TV with an old lady, her stepfather Zou Rui's mother. She was stunned for a moment and smiled and greeted, "Grandma, Auntie, I'm back."
Zou's mother wasn't too happy about Zou Rui marrying Tian Jing, a second-married woman with a daughter. But she didn't have any objections after Tian Jing gave birth to Zou Fan. However, she was a conservative person and had gradually come to treat Lu Tian as her own granddaughter over the years. Seeing her come home so late, she frowned and said, "Why are you coming home so late, girl? It's very dangerous. Look at so many girls who have had car accidents. How did you get back?"
"Meng Jingdong sent me back."
Mother Zou immediately stood up and asked, "Why don't you ask someone to come in and sit down?"
"It was late, I asked him to go back first."
Zou's mother nodded and asked the nanny to bring a cup of hot milk and put it in her hand: "Drink a glass of milk before going to sleep."
Lu Tian took it obediently and drank two sips in front of the old lady. Zou's mother was very happy and continued to sit back and watch TV. She was a very kind-looking old lady. Her love for the original owner was definitely not as great as her love for Zou Fan, but it was also sincere.
It was around this time in the original novel that Mr. Gu passed away. The original owner had a quarrel with Meng Jingdong and went into a cold war, so he returned to the Zou family. He happened to meet Zou's mother who came to stay at the Zou family. She couldn't stand the original owner's behavior and nagged her. The original owner hated her old-fashionedness, and when being lectured by Zou's mother, he couldn't help but swear at her and had a big quarrel with her. Zou's mother was old and had serious hypertension and heart disease. She was so angry at the original owner's retort that she fainted and was sent to the hospital where she became seriously ill.
When Tian Jing and Zou Rui came back and heard that Zou's mother was hospitalized, Zou Rui endured it and didn't say anything to the original owner, but Tian Jing was extremely angry. The mother and daughter had a big quarrel and parted unhappily. As a result, Tian Jing and the original owner had a gap. Later, the original owner did not inform Tian Jing in time when she encountered any problems until she died.
Tian Jing felt guilty towards the original owner and wanted to use her advantage in business to suppress Yu Ningxuan. However, she did not expect that this move would cause her and Zou Rui's company to lose most of their money. It would be difficult for them to make a comeback after being injured.
