"Things are dead, but people are alive. Besides, Fanfan doesn't care, so I won't care either. I watched Tiantian grow up, so of course I hope she can live happily after marrying into the Meng family." Zou Rui said sincerely.
Tian Jing's frown gradually relaxed. She didn't want to choose between her husband, son, and daughter. This situation was the best.
At the weekend, the Zou family and the Meng family met at the agreed hotel. The two families arrived at about the same time, so there was no question of who was waiting for whom or who was going outside to pick up whom. Both Meng's father and mother were dressed in their best and attended the event, attaching great importance to it.
Tian Jing breathed a sigh of relief. The Meng family was a wealthy and powerful family. If Meng's mother looked down on Lu Tian and did something between the couple, her daughter would be the one who suffered in the end.
During the dinner, Mr. and Mrs. Meng spoke very politely, without any intention of looking down on Tian Jing who had started from scratch.
"Since they have already obtained the marriage certificate, why don't the in-laws prepare for the wedding? We have already prepared the betrothal gifts and will definitely not let Tiantian down." Meng's mother smiled, as if Meng Jingdong had never been able to find a wife.
Although Tian Jing had prepared the dowry, it was up to them to decide when to get married. She smiled and evaded the question, "They both have their own ideas. Let them decide for themselves."
The two parents, along with Zou's mother and Zou Fan, looked at Lu Tian and Meng Jingdong at the same time, waiting for their answer.
Meng Jingdong remained silent. Afraid of saying something wrong, Lu Tian quietly reached under the table and poked his leg. He calmly moved his leg away, a smile playing on the corner of his lips: "Tiantian has a heavy workload in her junior year, and the wedding venue and wedding dress need time to prepare. This year is too rushed, so we plan to hold the wedding next year or after Tiantian graduates."
"That's right, wedding dresses are very important. Tiantian, what style do you like? Mom can contact a designer for you."
Lu Tian kept smiling: "Thank you, Mom."
Afterwards, the Meng family gave the prepared betrothal gifts to Tian Jing and Zou Rui for review. It was a very generous amount. Tian Jing was very satisfied after seeing it, and then she began to worry whether the dowry prepared by her family was a bit underwhelming.
While the two families were discussing the betrothal gifts and dowry, Lu Tian got up and went to the bathroom, where she hid in thought. The Meng family's attitude was very different from the original novel. Although the original novel didn't describe this meeting, the original owner had a bad relationship with the Meng family, so the Meng family wouldn't be so enthusiastic. Could they know her background? The original novel didn't mention Meng Jingdong's relationship problems. He was Yu Ningxuan's idol, a kind of white moonlight that she could only look up to. She went over the original plot in her mind but couldn't think of any other reason.
After coming out of the bathroom, Lu Tian still hadn't figured out the problem. After washing her hands, she turned around and was shocked to see Meng Jingdong standing at the bathroom entrance.
"What are you doing?"
Meng Jingdong glanced at her and said, "You haven't come out for so long. I thought something happened to you in the bathroom, so I came to check it out."
"Thank you, I'm living well." Lu Tian said unhappily, and followed Meng Jingdong's steps towards the box. It was a short distance, and she walked very slowly, but she couldn't help her curiosity.
"Are your parents so eager for you to get married?"
Meng Jingdong nodded indifferently. There was a reason why his parents expected him to get married, but he didn't need to let her know the reason.
Lu Tian seemed to be half-believing, but he looked like he didn't want to say more, and she wouldn't ask him about it. It didn't matter whether he knew it or not, it was just a deal.
"mom--"
Tian Jing turned around and saw her drowsily opening her eyes. She wanted to laugh again and asked lovingly, "You, you just left Xiao Meng downstairs without even saying hello. I thought you went upstairs to pretend to be asleep, but I didn't expect you were really sleepy."
Lu Tian took a sip of the sweet rice wine and egg soup, with fragrant candied osmanthus floating on top. She felt refreshed after taking a sip.
"Don't we still have you and uncle?" Lu Tian said nonchalantly. Before the divorce, she should avoid too much contact with Meng Jingdong. The more she talked, the more mistakes she would make. It would be best to divorce peacefully when the time comes, so that both parties would be happy.
"What are you talking about! How can you be the same as us?" Tian Jing felt that it was not normal. It happened suddenly at the time and no one knew that Lu Tian liked Meng Jingdong. They slept together and were forced to get married. Now it seems that their relationship is too dull.
"What's going on between you and Xiao Meng?"
Lu Tian lowered her head and ate in silence. She couldn't possibly tell her that the original owner had only wanted to take away the person Yu Ningxuan had been longing for, right? She had even risked her entire fortune on that.
Tian Jing was in a terrible headache. She was almost unable to understand Lu Tian. She was now more cheerful and steady than before, but she couldn't figure out what she was going to do. Meng Jingdong and Lu Chengyang's relationship was a minefield. If Lu Tian knew about it, she wouldn't know what kind of trouble she would cause. Meng Jingdong seemed to have a good temper and was well-educated, and he hadn't made that incident public, but it was ridiculous...
"Lu Tian, tell me what's on your mind, okay?" Tian Jing couldn't help but sigh as she looked at Lu Tian's indifferent expression. She had been too busy with work in the past to pay much attention to her, and the mother and daughter had limited secrets to talk about. Now it was not a good idea to force her to reveal everything.
Tian Jing closed the door and left, and Lu Tian continued to eat. The resistance she showed just now was not only because she was unwilling to communicate with Tian Jing, but also because of the silent silence of the original owner. No one was free from responsibility for the original owner becoming like this, including the original owner herself.
"But now I got the advantage." Lu Tian finished drinking the soup, sweat on her forehead. She took the bowl downstairs and asked the nanny to cook the crabs sent by Meng Jingdong.
It was quiet downstairs. The nanny said politely, "The master and his wife have gone out."
Lu Tian didn't care and went back upstairs to continue sleeping until the nanny came upstairs to call her for dinner in the evening. Zou Fan came home from school and was doing homework. When he heard her voice, he ran out to show off the airplane model in his hand.
