This sentence has no expression and looks extremely serious.

Yuan Lu hesitated again and again, but finally didn't ask, she sat for a while, then got up and went to take a shower.

As soon as she put her hair up and put on her shower cap, Pei Li's phone came in.

She hadn't called home for several days, and now that she saw the word mother, she didn't want to answer it, and she didn't know if the second aunt had said something, so she would call.

She tucked the exposed strands of hair into her shower cap and picked up the phone, "Mom." ”

"Are you busy?"

"I just got home, and I'm going to take a shower. ”

"The company has been very busy lately, and I haven't called home in a few days. ”

Yuan Lu: "I'm a little busy, but I'm going to come back this week." ”

Listening to Pei Li's tone, it seems that she doesn't know yet, it seems that the second aunt hasn't told them yet.

That's fine, wait until she goes back and explain to them in person.

Pei Li said: "I just want to tell you that you will take some time to come back." ”

Yuan Lu heard what she meant, "Mom, you won't arrange any blind dates for me again, right?"

"This is a good one, your father's colleague's son. Everyone knows that his son has recently come ashore, and his position is better than his father's. Listen to your father, this child is very motivated, ambitious, and ambitious. I guess it will climb up in the future. On Saturday, the two of us will have dinner together, and you will be familiar with each other. We used to go to someone's house for dinner when you were in junior high school, do you remember?"

Yuan Lu: "I don't remember." She sighed, "Mom, you'd better put this off." Me, I have a boyfriend. ”

When Pei Li heard this, she was silent for a while, "So fast." ”

"yes, I'll tell you about it when I get back. If Saturday's dinner is for a blind date, I think it's better to forget it, you ask Dad to talk to Uncle Song. ”

Pei Li was silent for a while, "Oh, okay, I see." She didn't say anything more, "You take a shower, it's not early, rest early." Girls should be kind to themselves, don't work too hard, making money is secondary, peace and security is true. ”

Yuan Lu: "I know, you should also rest early." ”

Hung up the phone.

Pei Li sat for a while, and the smile on her face faded.

Yuan Zheng took a sip of tea and saw that her expression was abnormal, "What's wrong? ”

Pei Li had a guess in her heart, she looked at Yuan Zheng, her eyes were a little uneasy, she thought about it, and said, "Lao Song pushed it over there, the child didn't mean that, and it didn't mean anything if we were hot." It's embarrassing when the time comes. ”

Yuan Zheng got up and walked to her side, "I said it a long time ago, but you insisted on thinking it was appropriate." This kind of thing still depends on Lulu's own wishes. Don't worry too much about her, she's grown up now, her mind is mature, she knows what she wants, and she won't be as ignorant as before. Trust her, worry about it all the time, it's not good for your health. ”

Pei Li was silent for a while and said, "Old Yuan, you said that if Lulu and Sheng Xiao are together, what should we do?"

"No, it won't. Yuan Zheng denied it, "This has been in one piece for a long time, and it can be used until today." ”

"What if? What do you do?"

The two looked at each other for a while, and the expression on Yuan Zheng's face became serious, "No." ”

Pei Li smiled bitterly, "I hope not, but there is a high probability that it will be so." Just now Lulu told me that she had a boyfriend, and I immediately thought of Sheng Xiao. ”

"Don't think nonsense, didn't you say that she promised Meihua before, and she would definitely not have anything with Sheng Xiao. She said that, probably not. ”

Pei Li sighed, "It's better not, if that's the case, I don't even know what to do." If she really takes this step, it means that she is out of the way, and I don't know whether to be happy or afraid. Walking out shows that she is better than before, but after this step has passed, what will she do in the future. On the Sheng family's side, how could they agree that the previous Meihua car accident was done by Sheng Xiao's mother. I'm afraid she'll deal with Lulu then. ”

......

In the dead of night, inside the house.

Zou Yan heard the sound of the door closing, she leaned against the door, and saw the back of Sheng Taoguang leaving through the crack in the door. She closed her eyes, and before she could go to find Yuan Meihua, people rushed over directly.

Her eyes were red, her eyes were round, her lips were tightly pursed, and after a long time, she suddenly raised her hand and slapped her in the face, "I've told you countless times, I've said it countless times, why can't you listen to me?!"

Zou Yan lowered his eyes, there was no expression on his face, and he didn't shed tears.

For a while, she had been listening to Yuan Meihua's words and dealing with that Mr. Lin. Speaking of which, the two are actually quite compatible, she knows that the other party is very interesting to her, although she is almost eight years older than her, but she is well maintained, and her facial features are also good, and she is still quite masculine.

She is rare and positive, of course, she doesn't like it much, but she thinks that Yuan Meihua's current situation, if she doesn't do what she says, find a good person to marry. As soon as Liang Yunyue stirred up, their mother and daughter might be swept away.

If she marries a good family and is on a par with the Sheng family, a businessman like Sheng Taoguang may continue this marriage for the sake of profit.

She had to compromise.

But compromise is useless, Yuan Lu and Sheng Xiao are together, Liang Yunyue will not let them have a good life.

When she and Mr. Lin were about to have further interactions, some of her private life photos fell into Mr. Lin's hands, and at dinner today, Mr. Lin threw the photos in front of her, and his attitude turned 180 degrees.

But she was quite cultivated, and she didn't say anything too ugly, which gave her a little face.

This is not ruthless, what is even more ruthless is that these photos are spread in the wife's circle. In this way, no one will be willing to marry a woman like her, and it will be impossible for her to find a powerful family to be a backer and pillar.

She didn't plan to get married, besides, her private life was chaotic, and she just had more boyfriends, didn't step on two boats, and didn't go to the kind of party with no bottom line. What's wrong with being open to your boyfriend? Is it a capital offense?

She wanted to go away at the time and slam her words back, but thinking that Yuan Meihua was still mixing in the circle, she endured it. A good explanation, but unfortunately it doesn't make much sense.

Yuan Meihua saw these photos in which group, she was simply embarrassed, everyone knew that she was in the group, but she still commented unscrupulously, there was no swearing, but it was more unbearable than swearing.

She didn't say a word, not a word.

She couldn't hold back, and called Sheng Taoguang directly, and lost her temper at him for the first time.

The two had a big quarrel, Yuan Meihua scolded Liang Yunyue, and as a result, she was slapped by Sheng Taoguang, "If you hadn't asked Sheng Xiao to take care of Yuan Lu, would you be able to have today?" ”

Sheng Taoguang left this sentence and left.

Yuan Meihua's heart is like a knife, the more she thinks about it, the more angry she becomes, and she is angry.

At this moment, her right hand was numb, and the slap was very heavy, Zou Yan's cheeks turned red instantly, her palm was tingling, and her heart was also painful.

Zou Yan took a deep breath, raised his hand to wipe his cheeks, and said, "Don't worry, I will catch someone for you even if I fish." I'm so angry, I use some means, raw rice is cooked and matured, and when I have a child, I don't believe that I can't get married. Don't worry, I will preserve your marriage and make you happy for the rest of your life. ”

Her eyes were red.

In fact, it was she who was hit the hardest, her privacy was exposed in front of people like this, and it was not easy for her to stand here so calmly and comfort Yuan Meihua.

She swallowed the bitterness in her mouth, took the tissue, handed it over, and said, "Don't cry, I was wrong, I didn't live as you hoped, I'm sorry." ”

Yuan Meihua couldn't hold back for a while, and finally started crying.

Her legs were weak and she almost fell, but Zou Yan quickly helped her up and helped her to sit down on a chair, "Don't cry, what's the use of crying." I didn't cry, you haven't cried enough before, have you?"

Yuan Meihua looked at her, looked at her swollen cheeks, full of remorse, she reached out and touched her face, and said, "What should I do? What should I do?" she gritted her teeth and held back the resentment in her heart, how will a girl live in the future if she is exposed to such a photo.

Zou Yan grabbed her hand and said, "I'm fine, I have a big heart, isn't it just a photo." The more she does this, the more I will marry this surnamed Lin, and I will want her to look good when the time comes. Hmph, the more she is like this, the more she wants Lulu to be with Sheng Xiao and make her angry. ”

She took a deep breath and steadied herself, "Mom, don't be emotional. You've been hurt by a man once, how can you still count on a man. Looking at money in the future, money is the last word, what is the use of feelings. It's useless to cry, it's useless to be angry, you have to be ruthless. You are Mrs. Sheng now, you also have a son, and now Lulu is in charge of Sheng Xiao, we are advantageous. If you quarrel and break down with Sheng Taoguang emotionally, you will be stupid. ”

Yuan Meihua closed her eyes, thinking of Sheng Taoguang's appearance of beating her just now, and smiled bitterly. She wanted to find a good man to rely on all her life, failed the first time, tried to get it back the second time, and still failed.

"You're right. She raised her hand and touched her cheek and wiped away her tears, "I won't cry anymore, I can't be weak, I'm weak, you're the one who is being bullied." I still beat you, but in fact, I didn't protect you well to let you suffer such a big injury. It's that I'm sorry for you, it's that I didn't protect you well, I didn't teach you well. Yan Yan, the one I'm most sorry for is you. ”

Zou Yan blushed, straightened his back, and forced himself to be calm, "What I'm sorry for, we are mother and daughter, and we are of one heart." I will always be on your side. You teach me very well, but I'm rebellious, disobedient, and always arbitrary. I deserve what happened today. It's me who I'm sorry for you and disgraced you. In the future, you should not be able to raise your head in the wife's circle. ”

"No, you said it, I'm Mrs. Sheng, I'm still Mrs. Sheng, they have to give me face in front of me. She wiped her tears and got up, "I'll go downstairs and boil two eggs, one for you and one for me." ”

......

When Sheng Xiao saw the information, it was already early in the morning.

Chai Mingyue is Liang Yunyue's old best friend, and the two have a deep friendship, when he arrived in Haishi, Chai Mingyue took the initiative to ask him to have dinner together.

He didn't reply, put the phone down, and rubbed his swollen forehead.

Originally, the conversation was almost the same, and they were about to sign a contract, Jing Xiangtian stepped in, and wanted a piece of the pie, even if he shared it, he still wanted to take the lion's share.

Mr. Oga has a relationship with him, probably because he had a love debt before, as if he already had a tendency. Jing Xiangtian wants to be domineering, selfish, and unscrupulous in business. From the news that Sheng Xiao and Sheng Taoguang have a bad relationship now, he seems to have a thick bottom. Mr. Oga was hardly very thoughtful.

After all, his foundation is too thin at the moment, so he seems to be a bully.

In the past two years, the Jing family and the Sheng family have not violated the river water on the surface, but in fact, they have secretly competed, and everyone wants to be the boss. At present, the Sheng family is in chaos, and Jing Xiangtian naturally seizes the opportunity to make a wave of actions.

When the time comes, the Sheng family will be suppressed, and the Sheng family will probably do business based on his face, and he will have to intervene in everything, which is domineering and bad.

Sheng Xiao raised the corners of his mouth slightly, it was indeed a good time, not sooner or later, just right.

......

On Friday, Yuan Lu went to the high-speed rail station after work and took the high-speed rail home.

Sheng Xiao signed the contract next Monday, and there are still some things to do after signing the contract, so he has to fly to Yueguo, and he will come back before he goes. The two of them are busy separately, and they rarely have a chance to make a phone call, either she doesn't have time, or he doesn't have time.

Every call was a short greeting.

Yuan Lu told him on WeChat that she would go home on the weekend, and she planned to explain it to her parents so that she would not be told by outsiders that they would not be able to cope.

Arriving at Yuecheng Railway Station at half past seven, Yuan Zheng was already waiting outside.

"Dad. She ran over happily.

Yuan Zheng looked up and down, and felt that Yuan Lu was a little different, "Get in the car, call your mother, so that she can cook, and she can get home in twenty minutes." ”

"Okay. She got into the co-pilot and called Pei Li.

On the way, Yuan Zheng glanced at her from time to time and said, "Listen to your mother, you have a boyfriend, look at your happy appearance, I like him very much?"

Yuan Lu grabbed a handful of hair and talked to her parents about this, a little embarrassed, she smiled and said, "Well, I really like it." ”

"It's rare, I wasn't so excited when I looked at that dentist last time. What kind of person is it, can you show me? Or are you going to talk about it for a while and bring it home when you feel stable?"

Yuan Lu put down her phone, a little hesitant, she turned her head sideways and looked at Yuan Zheng, a little afraid to speak.

The words reached his throat, but he didn't have the courage to say them.

Especially to Dad.

Yuan Zheng didn't ask, Yuan Lu changed the topic, and it was over.

When she got home, Pei Li had already prepared the dishes.

Yuan Lu washed his hands and sat down to eat.

Pei Li saw that her face was ruddy, it was rare to be so energetic, so she didn't ask directly.

I only asked her about her company and asked her if she was good at eating on weekdays.

"I'll retire next year, and I'll be able to take care of you for a month or two. I'm sure I'll be able to raise you to be chubby, you're too thin now. ”

"I've lost weight, I've been heavy lately. Yuan Lu was eating braised pork and smacked his mouth.

"Girls look good with more meat, don't lose weight. ”

"Got it. ”

After the meal, Yuan Lu helped Pei Li wash the dishes.

The mother and daughter stayed together, Yuan Lu thought about it, and still opened his mouth, "Mom, I'm with Sheng Xiao." ”

Pei Li was not surprised, it was really the same as she thought, the movements of her hands paused, and then continued to wash the dishes without saying a word.

Yuan Lu glanced at her secretly, and he was also panicked, "He is very good to me and loves me very much." I knew that I would make my second aunt feel bad if I did this, but ......"

"What do you want me to say? As a parent, even if you don't agree with it in your heart, but if you do this, what can I say?"

Yuan Lu pursed his lips and lowered his eyes.

Pei Li: "I've said some things many times, and I've expressed my position. There's no point in you explaining anything to me now, you might as well tell me directly, you just want to be with him, no one cares, you just have to be happy. ”

"I'm not going to say anything, but if you ask me for my opinion, I'll say you're not suitable, and I don't want you to be together. ”

Pei Li took a breath and didn't look at her, "You go out, I'll wash it myself." ”

Yuan Lu didn't move.

After washing the dishes, Pei Li washed the fruit, and then pretended that nothing happened, and the three of them watched TV together. Yuan Lu always wanted to say something, but Pei Li didn't want to hear it, discussing the plot of the TV series with Yuan Zheng, talking and laughing. She couldn't interject either.

At night, Yuan Lu lay on the bed and couldn't sleep, tossing and turning.

At one o'clock, Sheng Xiao's phone came in.

"Hey. ”

Her voice was sassy and she had no energy.

Sheng Xiao: "Are you asleep?"

"No, I can't sleep. ”

My aunt disagreed. He used an affirmative sentence.

Yuan Lu didn't make a sound, he really disagreed, "It's okay, take your time, I know they don't agree, I'll just say it first, so as not to be speechless when asked." You're just done so late?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone, and she missed him a little, and she thought about him a little more at night. She felt that he was like poison, and after a little bit of it, it gradually penetrated into the blood and bones, and there was no way to save it.

"Just arrived. He said, "Why don't you poke your head out and look at me?"
