Chapter 24: Reconciliation with Mother-in-law
Li Mengze has always had the habit of sleeping lazy, he can sleep until 10 o'clock in the morning at any time, but now he has not broken this habit, although he is always asked to get up very early to exercise when he is at home. Since coming to G-State, he has basically returned to his old days. Last night, he stayed up all night again, and now there are not many things that can worry him, but what has happened in the past two days is still enough for him to be busy; Chen Haili's mother is a problem he has always had to face, and he has been thinking about it since they were together. But he really didn't expect that the first meeting would be like this, and he even blamed himself a little, if his ability to recognize people was slightly better, he would at least suffer less mental damage, and if he thought that it was her old man who taught him a lesson, he wouldn't have worried for a whole night. But that's it, he still has to face her old man. No, he was woken up at about 8 o'clock in the morning.
He was dreaming, suddenly woke up by a phone ringing, picked up the phone slowly, only to know that he had made an appointment with someone to come to the interview yesterday, which he didn't dare to be sloppy, immediately invited someone to come up, and by the way asked the hotel waiter to bring a breakfast. Originally, the hotel would not give guests this treatment, if you need to, go to the restaurant to eat by yourself, but he is a special case; He has been living in this hotel for a few months, he is a regular customer of the hotel, and he has a good relationship with the hotel for a long time, the waiters do not take his tips, and everyone is happy to serve him. Before he had finished washing, there was a knock on the door, and after inviting the other party in, he lingered for a while before returning to the room, and he said in his heart, "Who told you to scare me yesterday."
"Lili hasn't mentioned you to me, so I'm sorry; I am not good at recognizing people. I'm really sorry to ask you to make another trip yesterday. Although he wanted to give the other party a dismount in his heart, it was just a thought, and he didn't dare to offend her, at least he didn't dare to offend her in words.
"How's my daughter doing, where is she?" The other party is completely different from yesterday, which makes him a little uncomfortable, is it really a salute before the soldier?
"Oh, Lili hasn't been in contact with you, what's wrong with you?" Li Mengze pretended to be confused, of course he knew that their mother and daughter had not been in contact, and the woman had already told him everything last night.
"Don't worry so much, answer my question first!" The other party seemed reluctant to mention this, and rudely interrupted his topic.
"I'm sorry, I can't answer your question." At this time, the waiter brought breakfast, and he took it and was ready to eat it, but paused again, "Do you want to eat a little?" ”
Of course, the other party refused, so he began to eat, as if he was not in the middle of a conversation, completely ignoring the feelings of others. At this time, the other party did not speak, watching him perform on himself, and from time to time expressed some dissatisfaction with his eating appearance, of course, he didn't know any of this, because it was not until he finished eating that he raised his head and looked at the other party again.
"Madame's command, let me be straightforward." He thought it was better not to play dumb riddles with the other party; The other party is not a simple person, and he may not be an opponent at all, so let's be happy.
"How is my daughter, how do you place her?" The other party also dealt with the root of the matter, which is the fundamental contradiction between the two sides.
"Lili is very good now, she has found a job in B-capital, and the job is also satisfactory." He said lightly, that is, he didn't say how to settle people.
"Don't play tricks on the old lady, let me ask you, what are you going to do?" The other party is pressing step by step.
"What do you want me to do?" Li Mengze asked rhetorically.
"Marry her, and my daughter won't insult you much."
"Miss Chen is quite good, but how can marriage be child's play, is it said that you can marry if you marry?"
"Otherwise, you don't want to mess around in G-State!"
"Madame knows rabbits, I used to live like rabbits." The white rabbit is running around. Clothes are not as good as new, people are not as good as the old', this is what the "Book of Songs" says, but I am 'running around, not wearing new clothes, people don't see the past', I can't get mixed up in G state, can it be worse than the original life? Li Mengze said lightly, he really doesn't like to be coerced, in this life, what he doesn't like the most is to be coerced, whether he had nothing before or what he wants now; In his life, no one could threaten him. So, naturally, he fought back.
"You can get so much more." The other party was a little unimpressed, in her dictionary, no one could not be tempted.
"Mr. Chen is very good to Haisheng, isn't he?"
"That's his business, and no one cares about him."
"Mr. Chen has 20% of the shares, and I have 25%, which seems to be a lot."
"What is that money, I haven't put it in my eyes yet." The other party sneered and said that he thought he cared about the shares of Wansheng Company.
"Madame misunderstood. However, it is easier to do things with more money. But...... Can you tell me why you don't care about Lili? Li Mengze smiled and didn't argue.
"Who says we don't care about her, why do you think so?"
"If she cared, it might not be the current situation, she should be able to find a boyfriend who is better than me."
"You're not very good, I don't like you very much. If you marry Lili, then you will get enough benefits, including shares in the company. ”
"Maybe your offer is tempting, but I don't dare to accept it. Once accepted, I will lose everything I have now, my friends will no longer believe in me, my lover will no longer need me, my spirit will have a breakdown, and finally my old father will also kick me out of the house, will be worse than the original rabbit. You say, "Do I dare to accept it?" ”
"You're not afraid I'll do you!" Li Mengze's resolute tone made the other party very angry, this is not a person who can be easily seduced, she naturally has her own means of dealing with it.
"I'm afraid, why aren't you afraid, I'm still so young, I have a family and a job, but I'm afraid to solve the problem?" Li Mengze still said lightly, ignoring the other party's threat, "Madame, why should you be so angry, I know, you can put me to death between raising your hand, but killing one person and making an enemy is always better than making a friend." I know that I can't compare with you, but if I am forced to fight back, I can only fight back, it is very likely that both sides will lose, even if you lose Madam, it is not impossible. It's just that it only breaks the hearts of those who care about us and the people we care about. ”
"Oh, can you still make a big wave?" The other party was not surprised at all.
"Madame invited me to go the day before yesterday, and I had received the news before this, and I didn't know it was you at the time, but I went anyway, although I took a little risk, after all, it was intact. Isn't this the so-called "auspicious"?
"I've always wanted to visit you since I came to Gzhou from B-capital, but I've been reluctant to go, I really don't know you. Lili went to Tsu alone, but fortunately my friend informed me in advance, so I could prepare in advance, otherwise it would have been difficult for you to really want to see her again. At that time, she was penniless, thin-dressed, unacquainted, and unfamiliar with life, and she didn't even have the money to make a phone call.
"Lili rarely mentions you to me, and I am not familiar with you, so it is difficult to meddle in some things; Later, a friend told me that you hadn't bothered with her for years. And at the beginning of this year, she was drunk in the bar every day, and no one cared about her or took care of her. When he said this, he stopped, looked at the other party, and hoped that the other party would retreat from the difficulty, and did not want to get too stiff with the other party, and at the same time thought that it was not the best moment to solve the problem.
"Actually, I also like Lili, she's a nice girl. One of my greatest wishes in this life is not to hurt her. It's just as hard for me to like someone and not like someone as hard. I hope Madame will understand and not force me to do the impossible. Li Mengze continued.
"What do you mean?"
"I can like a person or I can not like a person, but no matter what, I can't get married, I hope Madame knows."
"Don't give me dumb calls, I don't understand." Actually, don't say she doesn't understand, even someone himself doesn't know what she just said.
"In a word, you can't get married, and for the rest, you can ask for anything."
"Who is Lili with now?"
"Well, I was with me before I came to G-State."
"You don't want to be responsible and not give her a name?"
Li Mengze was silent, he knew that it was a knife to stretch out his head now, or a knife to shrink his head, so it was better to stand still and save trouble.
"Is there someone who won't let you marry Lili?"
"Yes and no; No, there are. ”
"I heard Haisheng say, you're not good, how can Lili like you!" She really didn't have a good impression of him, although she knew that this person was not simple, and it was not as her nephew said.
"Your family is so good, now they are all small bosses, of course they don't look down on us country friends, he didn't tell you, not only am I not good, but I am simply not taken seriously by him?" He said with a smile.
"You are very self-aware, Haisheng looks down on you." The other party seems to be telling the truth.
"This is people's opinion, and I can't help it? Besides, there are places where I am not as far as him, but he is very capable. Li Mengze smiled, his attitude was very sincere.
"I think you're better than him now, though."
"That's not to be true. I almost called you "Mom", thank you! You don't think I'm capable of better, though. After a pause, he continued, "Since you think I'm good, how about we make a deal?" ”
"Can this thing still be traded?" The other party simply didn't believe his ears.
"Yes, you know, Lili has a lot of resentment towards you and Mr. Chen, and I helped you resolve it, how about it? Also, what you need, I can do it, and if it's not too difficult, I'll do it for you. Or are you trying to make some requests? Li Mengze racked his brains and thought, "Why don't I treat you to a meal?" In short, you give a word. ”
"Let me meet Lili."
"That's your condition? It's so easy! I'll get back to you. ”
"It's a little simpler, do you believe it?" The other party looked at him like an idiot, but he became more and more angry.
"You really haven't thought about Lili, there are some things you can ask me, but you can't ask her." He smiled wryly and straightforwardly took everything on himself, and he didn't want to embarrass Chen Haili.
"Are you credible?"
"There are some things that cannot be false, and I have never told you a lie, at most it is a cover-up."
"How much is covered?" The other party also cares about this, think about it, if a person talks to you for a long time, but he has been hiding it, who can not be angry.
"What I can let you know is naturally covered up." He said-for-tat.
"That's the attitude towards me?" The other party is angry and thinks that this kid has always disrespected him.
"What can I say about someone who can't be trusted yet." He retorted unceremoniously.
"What do you have to do to tell me the truth? Whoever doesn't make my daughter feel better, I won't make him feel better! ”
"Lili is doing well now, at least I think. I also like my work, I have learned to take care of others, I can humbly accept the advice of others, and I have learned to get along with others. I don't know if she'll be happy with this life in the future, but she's certainly happy now. He said with great certainty.
"Marry Lili, you can have other women; Lili is not a jealous woman either. She kind of understood that this guy couldn't give up on other women.
"No way, it's simply not possible." He flatly refused.
"Why, my daughter is not bad, not worse than other girls." She was quite convinced of her daughter's looks.
"Physiognomy is only one aspect. Lili is good-looking, but how do you think she compares to Haisheng's girlfriend? ”
Yang Hua ...... Almost! ”
"That's your angle, in my opinion, Yang Hua is more beautiful than Lili."
"Yang Hua is a rare beauty, but Lili is not bad!"
"Among my women, at least two are no worse than Yang Hua, and one of them is prettier than her. At home, in terms of dignified and beautiful, Lili is not as good as Ah Wen, sexy and charming, she is not as good as Qianyun, on delicate and pretty, she is not as good as Yu'er, on gentle and virtuous, she is not as good as Xiaoqing, on lively and cute, she is far worse than a little girl, of course, in terms of ability, she can't compare. In terms of beauty, Ah Wen and Qianyun are much more beautiful than her, and the others are not worse than her. Li Mengze said lightly, ignoring the other party's increasingly surprised face.
"What if they all wanted to?" The other party threatened, his tone a little weak.
"If they weren't threatened, they wouldn't agree, and even if they did, they knew I wouldn't agree. Anyone who harms them will suffer terrible retribution that is rarely seen in the world. Anyone who harms me and my woman will be punished by our whole family, now and in the future. Everyone knows how powerful Mrs. is and how much money Mr. Chen has. Madame also knows the allure of money to some people, and our family may not have less money than any other person, and I want to be confident in this. Li Mengze said coldly, he was sending a naked threat to the other party, and he was issuing a declaration unique to their family, and the other party's inadvertent threat had touched his bottom line, making him naturally send a strong counterattack.
"Even if you still want to threaten me, it's too self-conscious!" The other party was dismissive.
"Madame is our elder and should take care of our family, how can we think like this out of thin air? Old Zen Master Huang Yun told me to do good deeds all my life, but, madam, you are the first person to threaten us nakedly, and we have to think about the future of the whole family before we get enough kind reconciliation from you. His tone was cold, neither humble nor arrogant, and the temperature in the room plummeted.
"Then how do I make amends to you?" The other party didn't think so, but he had the intention to ease the atmosphere.
"It's hard to change your mind. Lili can't marry me, which embarrass you, and I'm sorry, but it's done. Lili is already my woman, I won't want him, and she won't leave me. As parents, for the sake of the happiness of the younger generation, let's fulfill us! We truly love each other. He suddenly softened.
"Lili can be happy without you." The other party still doesn't agree with him.
"It's late. Since she became my woman, I have never hidden anything from her, she knows everything at home, don't say that she can't do without me, even if she can leave, she can't leave. She already knew too much. Li Mengze said with emotion.
"What's something you can't let anyone know?" The other party is also interested, after all, he is his daughter's sweetheart, and this guy may really have something hidden?
"With children before marriage and a group of wives, can you still let everyone know? Those who have a lot of money are afraid of being chased and cut, can people know this? Li Mengze said with a wry smile, he was not afraid that the other party would know, and only by being false and real could he solve the problem.
"How much money do you have to keep you so empty?"
"For a poor boy who has no power, more money is a blessing. How much money I have, few people know, say something that has been revealed, 25% of the shares of Wansheng Company are mine, and Xixing Company is invested by me, not less! ”
"It's a lot, the West Star Company is really yours!" The other party was a little surprised.
"For the sake of our family, you must not say anything. Okay, Mom! He suddenly attacked the other party, "Now there must be people who speculate that Xixing Company is invested by me, but speculation is speculation, after all, it can't be confirmed, you must not say anything, not even Mr. Chen." Mom! ”
"You ......" The other party was obviously caught off guard, and was disturbed, and even forgot to blame him. How many years, no one calls it that, how many years, 5 years is 10 years, and for a while, the tears of this strong woman on the underworld soaked her eyes!
"Mom, talk to Lili, just say that you have agreed to be with us, and she will definitely appreciate you." He stepped up his emotional offensive, knowing that this was the time when the other party's relationship was the most vulnerable, and it was also a rare opportunity to make up for their mother-daughter relationship.
……
"Call me, if she says it's different from you, see how I clean you up!"
