So Pure, So Flirtatious

“You say, this girl, Zhao Ying, won’t scam us, right?” Wang Guifen, the mother of Zhao Ying, was on the plane. She spoke to Zhao Daquan, Father Zhao, next to her.

“You’re really suspicious. This time you attending the wedding of your Third Aunty’s daughter. You had to go to Song Jiang to take a look first and then take a bus to Mount Jing… This is just too troublesome for others… You also know my leg isn’t good…” Zhao Daquan complained.

“What do you know!? You don’t understand anything!” Wang Guifen glared and said, “Look. My Third Aunty’s family were originally extremely poor! Since my cousin found a lover, the man solved everything! My Third Aunty was a housewife and no one even wanted her to clean the toilet. What does she know? Now she’s a department manager! Originally my Third Aunty just opened a small stall to sell breakfast. You see, within a year, they opened a restaurant!”

“Why are you comparing yourself with others about this? Our family isn’t in a tough spot.” Zhao Daquan said it as if it didn’t matter.

“Isn’t in a tough spot? It is alright just because it’s not difficult?” Wang Guifen frowned and began to complain. “Although I wasn’t the campus belle back then, I was still one of the belles in school. There were a lot of people who chased me. Why did I choose you, an honest intellectual? After working for so long, how many days of blessings have I enjoyed? Other women that are my age go for beauty and fitness all day, drinking tea and chatting with a few good friends. But could I? You look at Li Xiaoyu. Back then she didn’t look as good as me. How good does she look now? She looks like she is younger than me by ten years!”

For Wang Guifen’s nagging, Zhao Daquan didn’t dare to refute. This was also the matter where he felt the sorriest to his wife in his life. At that time, there were many people who pursued Wang Guifen. There were more people who liked her. There were thirty of them if not fifty! However, Zhao Daquan eventually won over the beauty. In that era of love, there was no such thing as benefits or losses. It was completely romance, and Wang Guifen didn’t think much about the future.

But now, looking at how other people already had private cars, eating at a restaurant every few days, and going on holidays, Zhao Daquan’s heart didn’t feel right. Although he wasn’t fixated on these things, he knew that Wang Guifen liked them. She often talked about these with her colleagues and acquaintances in the neighborhood. When she went home, she would always spend a long time admiring them.

“Guifen… I’m sorry…” Zhao Daquan had nothing else to say other than sorry.

“Forget it. Good or bad, my life is like this. But our Yingying is still young. Her life is still long. Now she thinks that love is more important than life. Later on, she will think that putting love above life means nothing.” Wang Guifen said, “Look at my cousin. She’s not as pretty as our Yingying, but she married a moneybag’s son…”

“She may not be happy… Didn’t your aunty say that? The boy often spends his days outside indulging in debauchery…” Zhao Daquan shook his head. “How is this kind of marriage reliable?”

“How do you know that you can’t rely on it? How many men aren’t fickle in relationships? I don’t believe it. If you, Zhao Daquan, had money, won’t you have this crooked thought?” Wang Guifen said, “You said ‘no’ now because you’re not rich. When you have money, you wouldn’t think so!”

Although Zhao Daquan felt guilty towards Wang Guifen, he was annoyed after listening to her. “According to what you said, let our daughter be a mistress. Doesn’t that get more money?”

“If there is a suitable one, it is also a way out!” Wang Guifen’s mouth twitched.

It was no wonder that Wang Guifen’s thoughts would be so extreme. When people had reached this age, they had suffered for most of their lives. Every day, for the sake of money, they were calculative. They were really unhappy. They weren’t carefree at all. She didn’t want Zhao Ying to repeat her mistakes. She also wanted to live more comfortably for the rest of her life.

This Third Aunty originally had nothing to do with her, but a while ago she heard that her cousin went from rags to riches, and Wang Guifen became enthusiastic.

Zhao Daquan’s mouth moved, and finally, he sighed helplessly. He knew that Wang Guifen was suffering too much. It was normal to have such an idea.

“What do you say? How about the son of Boss Liu who is in our neighborhood?” Wang Guifen turned to Zhao Daquan and said, “During the new year, we’ll call Boss Liu’s son, Liu Shihao, to have a look when our Yingying comes back. A match at first glance!”

“Who is this Liu Shihao? The Hummer in society, you dare to introduce him to our daughter?” Zhao Daquan noticed that Wang Guifen’s words had become more and more outrageous, and he couldn’t help but get angry and say, “By the looks of it, this boy is not a good thing. He hangs out with a bunch of small punks all the time, fighting and flirting with girls…”

“They’re young people. It’s normal to be arrogant… They’ll be better in the future…” said Wang Guifen.

“Okay. The kid was married before. He divorced after two months. Do you want to ruin Yingying?” Zhao Daquan waved and said.

“The divorce means nothing. Didn’t the woman get more than one million in compensation for her youth?” Wang Guifen snorted and said, “And, this time Boss Liu said, as long as our Yingying agrees, he would buy a house for Yingying, then buy a car. It’ll all be under the Yingying’s name! She’ll come back to L City, but also go to his company to work. She doesn’t need to do anything. She can easily get a million in a year!”

“You only have money in your eyes?” Zhao Daquan couldn’t listen to this anymore. He glared and said in a low voice.

“You have the ability now, right? That is good. Can you afford to buy me a car? There’s no need to be so luxurious. Tens of thousands of yuan would do. I would want to live more comfortably for the rest of my life!” Wang Guifen said without showing weakness.

Zhao Daquan pouted his lips… In the end, he still didn’t say anything. He had to give up and sigh.

Although Zhao Ying said that she had a boyfriend, Wang Guifen hadn’t seen him with her own eyes, so she didn’t believe it. The most important thing was that she wanted to see what her boyfriend’s family background was like. If it wasn’t good, she had to take Zhao Ying back to go on a blind date with Liu Shihao, the son of Boss Liu.

……

“Sister Ying, do you want to borrow Yang Ming?” Chen Mengyan smiled. “No problem. I will send him to you later.”

“Then, thank you so much…” Zhao Ying didn’t know what to say. She didn’t expect Chen Mengyan to agree so easily, so she said it with gratitude. Otherwise, she really wouldn’t know how to deal with it!

Zhao Ying knew very well about her mother’s snobbish attitude but didn’t know how to deal with it. Seeing that Chen Mengyan had no objections, she was relieved. She would deal with what was in front of her first.

Originally, she knew that her mom and dad were going to attend the wedding, but she didn’t expect them to first take a detour to Song Jiang! Clearly, there were planes flying directly to Mount Jing, but they just had to come to Donghai first and then take a bus to Mount Jing.

Yang Ming listened to Chen Mengyan’s words, and he felt a bit helpless.Something isn’t right. So he pretended to be dissatisfied and said, “I’m not a thing. How can you just lend me out?”

“Yeah, you’re not a thing [1]…” Chen Mengyan said with a smile.

“…” Yang Ming was stunned and immediately knew that he had been thrown into the pit that he had dug. When did Chen Mengyan become so eloquent?

“But, don’t make it real this time!” Chen Mengyan apparently had already found out some things from Lin Zhiyun.

Yang Ming smiled awkwardly, but Chen Mengyan had already opened the door and got off. “I’ll go back first. You don’t need to walk me in. You should go find Sister Ying. Don’t make her anxious.”

Yang Ming nodded and watched Chen Mengyan enter her unit’s door, and then used his special ability to track her opening the door with the key. Then he started the car and left. Ever since Chen Dazhuang appeared the last time, Yang Ming became more cautious.

In Chen Fei’s position, it was extremely easy to offend people. Therefore, Yang Ming was afraid that someone would retaliate against Chen Fei and make a move on Chen Mengyan.

……

“Manager, I received two bouquets of roses today.” The secretary walked into Sun Jie’s office with the roses and said, “Do you want to throw away the cards and arrange the flowers?”

” En ?” Sun Jie sighed and then a slight smile crossed the corner of her mouth. She said to the secretary, “Let me see the cards.”

“Okay.” Although the secretary was a bit baffled. Why does the manager look at the cards today? But she didn’t say anything. She took the cards and handed them to Sun Jie.

Sun Jie took a look at the signature on the card right on top and threw the card into the shredder next to her. She picked up the card below. There was no signature on this card. However, Sun Jie had already guessed who sent it. After reading the text on the card, she couldn’t help but smile, “This guy, I don’t know where he copied this from…”

She shook her head and wanted to throw the card away, but she hesitated and put it in the drawer.

The secretary looked at the smiling Sun Jie. She was very puzzled. She had never seen the manager so happy after receiving flowers. Usually, she was indifferent. Who sent these flowers? It was just that there was no signature on it. The secretary could only use her imagination…

At the same time, Wang Xiaoyan was flustered as she held a large bouquet of roses. She gnashed her teeth in anger as she read the sweet words written on the cards in the flowers.

“This Yang Ming, what do you want? It’s not over yet?” Wang Xiaoyan looked at the signature on the card, but there was no place for her to vent her anger.

Initially, you still knew how not to leave a name. Now you’re signing it, and you’re even more unscrupulous… Wang Xiaoyan wanted to throw the card away, but after thinking for a long time, she still decided to keep the card as evidence for Zhao Ying to see.

As for the bouquet of roses, Wang Xiaoyan had thrown it aside. Every morning, flowers were sent. Wang Xiaoyan was already used to it, and there was no need to get angry at the people who brought the flowers.

Moreover, it was unnecessary to be difficult to those who worked hard to deliver the flowers. Wang Xiaoyan wanted to reject them, but she thought that if she didn’t sign for it, the flower deliverer would have come for nothing, so she had to sign for it.
