Lu Yiwei raised his head and said solemnly, "Su Meng, don't ask. It's not that I haven't thought about it. I'm already in my thirties. How can I not want to get married? But it's not up to you and me to decide … Sigh, let's not talk about it. "
Su Meng immediately understood something. She pulled Lu Yiwei and said, "Did my dad look for you?"
Lu Yiwei was silent.
It seemed that she had guessed correctly. Su Meng comforted Lu Yiwei and said, "I thought it was something serious. You don't have to worry about my dad. My grandpa is in charge of my marriage. As long as he agrees, no one else's words matter."
Su Meng's words confirmed that Su Qiming had no right to speak at home. Lu Yiwei said, "Su Meng, how about this? Now that my career has improved a little, if you trust me, give me another year. After a year, whether I succeed or fail, I will marry you without hesitation. Is that okay?"
Looking at the ardent expectation in Lu Yiwei's eyes, Su Meng wanted to reject it, but her heart softened. After all, men all put their careers first. If his future was delayed because of her, he would hate her for the rest of his life. But this was a long year. Who knew what would happen in the middle? Su Meng could not make up her mind at the moment.
Lu Yiwei saw Su Meng's concerns, so he reassured her and said, "If you don't trust me, we can get a marriage certificate first, and then have a wedding. What do you think?" In Bei Zhou City, a wedding was far more important than a marriage certificate. As long as there was no wedding, it was not considered a marriage.
Lu Yiwei's words moved Su Meng very much. She believed that Lu Yiwei would not change his mind. After so many years, why would he care about a year? Su Meng believed that she could firmly hold onto Lu Yiwei, and said, "Yiwei, I don't care about the marriage certificate, and I don't care about the wedding. As long as I'm with you, I feel very happy. Do you still remember to take me to the rainy alley during the rainy season next year?"
"Alright! I'll definitely bring you there next year! "Lu Yiwei said firmly.
Su Meng suddenly burst into tears. She hugged Lu Yiwei and sobbed.
Just then, there was the sound of keys turning on the door. Before Lu Yiwei and Su Meng could separate, Li Shu-man came in with the dishes. Seeing this scene, Li Shu-man was stunned. He didn't know whether to go in or not.
Lu Yiwei hurriedly pushed Su Meng away, stood up, and said awkwardly, "You're here."
Su Meng glanced at Li Shu-man, and then looked up at the wedding photo. Suddenly, she felt that Lu Yiwei had deceived her. She grabbed the bag on the coffee table and was about to leave.
Lu Yiwei hurriedly stopped her and explained, "Su Meng, don't do this. You misunderstood …"
"Misunderstood what?" Su Meng shook off Lu Yiwei's hand and said, "You keep saying that you love me, but what did you do? You're living with your ex-wife. This is an indisputable fact. What else do you want to quibble about?"
Lu Yiwei could not clear his name even if he jumped into the Yellow River. He could only look to Li Shu-man for help.
Li Shu-man understood the situation. She wanted to tell Su Meng that they were living together, but when she saw the look in Lu Yiwei's eyes, her heart softened. She had to step forward and said to Su Meng, "Sister, you really misunderstood Yiwei. I just came back from River East, and there were guests at home. I thought there was no one here, so I came to cook. You're thinking too much. "
Su Meng's mind was in a mess. She did not know whether to believe what she heard or what she saw. But when she saw the helpless look in Lu Yiwei's eyes, she calmed down and put her bag on the shoe cabinet. She crossed her arms and looked at Li Shu-man with contempt. "I don't care why you're here, but I'm warning you, you're divorced, which means that everything here has nothing to do with you. Please get out!" After saying that, Su Meng's face was ferocious, and she proudly pointed at the door with her right hand.
In any case, although Li Shu-man's family was not as big as Su Meng's, she was still a lady from a respectable family in Nanyang County. How could she bear this kind of humiliation? But the kind-hearted Li Shu-man knew that she was in the wrong. She stood at the door with her head down and did not know what to do.
"Su Meng!" Lu Yiwei stepped forward and pressed Su Meng's hand down. "Don't treat her like this. She's innocent. Didn't I tell you before?"
The more Su Meng thought about it, the angrier she got. She said to Lu Yiwei, "Why are you still thinking about her at this time? Have you forgotten? Who was it that left you when you were in trouble? Who forced you to sign the divorce agreement? Who prevented you and your daughter from seeing each other? Have you forgotten all these? Oh! I know. I heard that your career is getting better now, and you want to go back and make up with her, right? How can there be such a good thing in the world! "
In the face of Su Meng's aggressive accusations, Li Shu-man did not refute. The vegetables in her hand slipped to the ground, and she covered her face and cried.
Lu Yiwei was in a bad mood. One was his innocent ex-wife, and the other was his domineering girlfriend. It was inappropriate to be partial to either of them, but the current situation could only be against Su Meng. He pulled Su Meng's sleeve and whispered, "Don't say anymore. You don't understand the situation here. Shuman also has her own difficulties. Don't make it sound so ugly!"
"What a joke!" Su Meng sneered and said, "By the way, Yiwei, isn't she remarried? Why is she here now? Just right! It's better to say some things face to face. " Then she turned to Li Shu-man and said, "Maybe you don't know me yet. My name is Su Meng, and I am Lu Yiwei's current girlfriend. We will get married soon. The difference between me and you is that you married him when his career was going smoothly, and I met him when his career was going downhill. This is the difference between us. You are interested in his career, and I am the one who is interested in him. In the future, I will come to Nanyang to see Yiwei from time to time. I hope you will not disturb his life in the future. As for your daughter, you can take care of her if you want. If you don't want to give her to me, I promise to treat her better than my own … "
Before Su Meng finished speaking, Li Shu-man had a nervous breakdown. He burst into tears and rushed out of the door. Su Meng snorted proudly, thinking that he had finally helped Lu Yiwei vent his anger.
Lu Yiwei saw Li Shu-man go out crying, and was about to go forward to comfort him. Unexpectedly, Su Meng grabbed him and said, "Lu Yiwei, if you dare to walk out of this door today, I will die in front of you!"
Lu Yiwei took back his foot and said to Su Meng, "Su Meng, don't you think your words are a little too much? I told you that Shuman and I divorced not because of her, but because of her family. She has just ended a marriage. Is it necessary for you to hurt her like this? "
"What?" Hearing that Li Shu-man divorced again, Su Meng was surprised, but she quickly seized on Lu Yiwei's words and said, "From your tone, it seems that you still plan to remarry Li Shu-man? Good! Then you can live together. I'm leaving! "After that, she was about to walk out of the door.
Lu Yiwei was tortured by the two women, so he had to settle down with Su Meng first. He pulled Su Meng and said, "Forget it, forget it. It's not easy for you to come here, and this kind of thing happened. Sit down and calm down first. I will welcome you at noon."
Seeing Lu Yiwei's practical action, Su Meng was a lot more relieved. She shook her head and said, "That's more like it."
Back in the living room, Lu Yiwei looked at his watch, took out his mobile phone and called Li Haidong, "Go to Nanyang Hotel to book a table for lunch at noon. Su Meng is here. Call Fuyong by the way."
In Liu Kecheng's office, Liu Kecheng and Zhang Lefei were discussing the play that County Magistrate Zhang Zhiyuan had performed in the morning.
Liu Kecheng said, "Le Fei, analyze it for me. What is Zhang Zhiyuan trying to do by bringing Duan Zhangyun out of the blue?"
Zhang Lefei rubbed his chin and pondered. After a while, he said, "County Magistrate Zhang hasn't been in Nanyang for long, so his foundation isn't stable. Although Duan Zhangyun isn't a local, he can be considered a veteran in Nanyang. Is he trying to pull Duan Zhangyun into his group and build his own alliance?"
"Him? Hmph! " Liu Kecheng said with a disdainful expression, "Le Fei, I have studied Zhang Zhiyuan. His resume is very simple. He's a postgraduate from Yanjing University, and he was assigned to Beizhou City's Transportation Bureau for more than a decade. I heard that his university classmate has something to do with him being able to become the County Magistrate all of a sudden.
"Maybe you guys think that he's Mayor Lin Haifeng's man. Wrong! How could a small fry like him enter Mayor Lin's eyes? I've heard that he has a university classmate who is now in Beijing. His business is very big, and he can frequently come into contact with some high-ranking officials. One time, they met by chance, and his classmate lent him a helping hand. That's how he got to where he is today. "
Zhang Lefei was quick to understand. He quickly said, "In other words, County Magistrate Zhang's backer isn't reliable?"
Liu Kecheng leaned back in his chair and said, "You can say that. At least his network in Beizhou City isn't solid. As for his university classmate, he can be ignored. Let me ask you, which is more reliable, a classmate or a friend? "
"Friends!" Zhang Lefei said without hesitation.
"Wrong!" Zhang Zhiyuan knocked on the table with his finger. "None of them are reliable! No matter what kind of relationship it is, it's maintained by benefits. Once there's no benefit in the middle, even the best relationship will gradually fade away. Say, Zhang Zhiyuan and his classmate are on the ground, and one is in the sky. How can he ask for help from his classmate? To put it bluntly, his classmate gave him the position of County Magistrate just to show off his ability in front of him, to tell him, 'Look, I'm doing well now. If we can see through this, we'll be able to find the right solution. '"
Zhang Lefei could not help but admire Liu Kecheng. He was really attentive when it came to thinking about human affairs. Zhang Lefei quickly seized the opportunity to flatter Secretary Liu. "Secretary Liu, I really admire you for being so meticulous and far-sighted. Nothing can escape your eyes. With such a working attitude, how can the people below you not admire you?"
