Hearing this from a father, Lu Yiwei could not help but sympathize. But this was a family matter, he could not say much.
Zhong Shishan's words were full of emotion, but Zhong Ming was not moved. Zhong Ming broke free from his father's hand and said, "Zhong Shishan, from the day you left home, you are no longer my father. For more than ten years, it was my mother who brought me up. Do you know how much effort she put in? Also, all these years, when did you care about me? Oh, now that I have grown up and am about to get married, you want to care about me? Too late, everything is too late! "
"Today's meeting was insisted on by Lu Ling. If it was me, I think there is no need at all. The wedding date has been set, you can come if you don't want to, I will not force you. "With that, he pulled Lu Ling and pushed his mother out of the room.
Lu Yiwei stood there, not knowing what to do. He bowed deeply to the two and followed Zhong Ming downstairs. Just as he went down a flight of stairs, he heard Zhong Shishan wailing. It was heartbreaking.
Walking out of the hotel, the family immediately smiled. Liu Wenli said apologetically, "Yiwei, I am really sorry, you see, I am not in the mood. Wengang, where did you arrange the meal? Lu Yiwei finally came, we must set up a banquet to invite Lu Ling's family. "
"Let's go! To my villa! "With that, he waved for them to get into the car.
Lu Ling got into Lu Yiwei's car. As soon as they got into the car, Lu Ling covered her face and cried, her heart broken. Lu Yiwei looked distressed and comforted, "Ling Ling, don't cry, this is the road you have chosen, you must face it bravely. Don't worry, I will not tell Mom and Dad."
Lu Ling looked up and said gratefully, "Brother, you see, this is why I do not want to mention Zhong Ming's family. Every time we meet, it is like this. Although I am not his family, I have long been involved in this farce. It is endless, it is annoying. He doesn't like me, and I don't like her even more! "
Lu Yiwei listened to the curses of the two families. It seemed that there were many things that were difficult to talk about. He asked, "What is the matter with the old woman that Zhong Ming spoke of?"
Lu Ling wiped her tears and said, "His father's objection isn't just because our family is poor, but because he wants a political marriage. That 'old woman' was actually about the same age as me, but she was short and flat. How could Zhong Ming like her? But her father is the Deputy Mayor of Dongzhou City. He pestered his daughter to marry Zhong Ming, constantly pressuring her father, and so there was endless quarrel. "
Lu Yiwei seemed to be able to understand that it involved officialdom. There were precedents of political marriages since ancient times. In ancient times, there was Qi Da who was not a match, and Zhao Jun left the fortress. Now, there were countless marriages between the Jiang and the Song. Political marriages, in essence, ignored personal feelings and wishes, and highlighted political purposes and alienated marriages. The purpose was to resolve contradictions and consolidate relationships. The former was an immediate action, and the latter, from a political point of view, could also be regarded as an immediate action. But it could be seen as an act of harmony between different groups, seeking common ground while reserving differences, each taking what they need. It was a means of conciliation, but also a kind of cruelty to human nature.
This situation was particularly prevalent in the political and business world. Lu Yiwei had personal experience. In the beginning, Su Meng's father, Su Qiming, spared no effort to separate the two and married Ren Dongfang, the son of Ren Guangming, the chairman of the Yuancheng Group, a coal tycoon. It was easy to imagine how a marriage without any feelings could be imagined. It only lasted for less than a year before it fell apart, causing a huge uproar and incessant chatter. For Su Qiming, he obtained political capital and bargaining chips. But what did Su Meng get? He received the heartless betrayal and the pain of losing his son. This scar would never be erased in this life.
As for Lu Yiwei and Li Shu-man, it was not a political marriage, but an opportunistic act. His father, Li Dengke, thought that Lu Yiwei was a potential stock in politics. He married his daughter and worked hard to cultivate her. Who knew that Lu Yiwei, this rising star, would die in less than two years. Li Dengke immediately cut off the marriage between the two. For him, his daughter was a chip to consolidate his political position. As for any bullshit feelings, it was not worth mentioning.
For the children of officials, wanting to find their own true love seemed to be an extravagant hope. Of course, Zhong Ming was an exception. His complicated family relationship helped him to get married. Even so, the road was full of twists and turns.
Lu Yiwei asked again, "You really have a child?"
Lu Ling shook his head and said, "Zhong Ming lied to his father. We don't plan to have children for the time being. Wait until our business is big. You also saw that his aunt insisted that I was interested in their family's money. I have to show them that I can make a lot of money without relying on them. "
"Oh." Lu Yiwei understood Lu Ling's character. He was very stubborn. Once he set his mind on something, he must do it. This point seemed to be the same for the Lu family.
"Then what's the matter with his parents? How did it become like this. "Lu Yiwei asked curiously.
Lu Ling said, "It's both simple and complicated to say. His father is a suspicious person. After marrying his mother, he has always suspected that his mother had an affair with her former boyfriend. Once, he ran into the two eating together. When he returned home, he violently beat his mother. The relationship between the two plummeted. After that, his father began to indulge himself. He kept a lover outside and developed into a husband and wife relationship. But for the sake of their respective careers, they were not willing to divorce, which led to the situation today. In addition, his mother was able to get to where she is today because of her own efforts. She did not rely on his father's family at all. His mother's former boyfriend is now the Deputy Secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Dongzhou City. So, his father still suspects that the two of them are having an affair and relying on each other to become the Political Commissar of the Public Security Bureau. As for what is going on, I dare not ask. "
"It's too complicated!" Lu Yiwei said sincerely, "Ling Ling, brother is really worried about you. You will not be facing one family in the future, but two families. As a daughter-in-law, you should not be partial to one side, nor should you treat the other coldly. You should resolve the conflict between the two families through your own power. I can see that the relationship between the two of them is not completely broken, but they particularly care about each other's feelings. I don't expect the two of them to get back together in the future, but to resolve the conflict, they can shake hands and make up, right? "
Lu Ling felt that Lu Yiwei's words were reasonable, so she nodded and said, "Brother, don't worry. I'm fine. Zhong Ming played a crucial role in this matter. I will persuade him to reconcile with his father. I also don't want to live in a quarrel all day long. It's so annoying! "
Unknowingly, they arrived at the holiday villa, and it was already nightfall. Lu Yiwei had been here several times, and each time had a different feeling. Under the curtain of the night, the holiday villa was even more tranquil, with a unique beauty. Regardless of what Liu Wengang was in the past, this villa was indeed built to a certain standard. From this, it could be seen that this person really had some skills.
They stopped the car in front of a villa, and Liu Wengang personally acted as the doorman to invite Lu Yiwei in. He laughed and said, "Big brother, we will be a family in the future, so you must come often! This is your home, and you can come and go as you please. After that, I will give you a top-class membership card for you to spend as much as you want. "
"You're too kind!" Lu Yiwei said modestly, "I come here often, and the environment is not bad."
"Haha!" Liu Wengang said heartily, "Your Nan Yang County's officials often come here. Your county's Mayor, Yang Derong, and Gao Bowen specially booked a villa here. It's just in front. Look, the lights are still on, so it means they are here. "
Following Liu Wengang's gaze, Lu Yiwei saw a villa in the forest opposite. He did not expect Yang Derong to be so extravagant. Needless to say, it was Gao Bowen who footed the bill.
Lu Yiwei did not want to talk about work, so he smiled faintly and did not say anything.
"Yiwei, I've really let you see a joke today." Liu Wenli said, "A good meal was messed up to this extent. You must be hungry, let's eat!"
During the meal, they naturally talked about Lu Yiwei's career. Liu Wenli said, "You're already a Section Chief at such a young age, so you're doing quite well at the grassroots level. However, I think it's a waste of your talent to stay there. Why don't you move to Eastern State? If you're willing, I can help you. "
Lu Yiwei did not expect Liu Wenli to be so friendly at their first meeting. Lu Yiwei quickly waved his hands and said, "Thank you for your concern, Director Liu. There are benefits to working at the grassroots level. I think I'm not experienced enough, and I need more experience. Furthermore, my home is in Nan Yang. If Lingling and I leave, only his parents will be left. I want to take care of them. "
"What's so difficult about that?" Liu Wenli said disapprovingly, "If you come over, bring your parents over as well. Eastern State's environment is so good, it's perfect for retirement. If you can't, ask them to move to the villa. His uncle is developing a residential area this year. If you're willing, ask him to reserve a house for you. "
"Yes, yes, yes!" Liu Wengang continued, "That's not a problem at all. If Lingling is here, you should come over as well. Bring your parents over as well. Wouldn't it be nice to have a family reunion? Lingling can come back to her parents' home if she has nothing to do. It's so close. I think it's a deal! "
Zhong Ming also said, "Yes, Brother, Lingling has always been worried about you. It's so convenient for our whole family to live in the same city." He then turned to Liu Wengang and said, "Uncle, it's settled then. As for the rent, I'll owe you for now. I'll pay you back when I have the money, haha."
"Pay what? No way! "Liu Wengang said generously," How much is a house worth? Just treat it as a gift from me to Lingling. You don't have to worry about that, I'll remember it! "
Lu Yiwei did not dare to accept such a generous gift. He hurriedly said, "Thank you so much. My parents will be happy to see your family getting along well. As for the house, I don't have the guts to accept it. Besides, I have no plans to come to Eastern State. We'll talk about it in the future. "
Lu Yiwei declined, but Liu Wengang thought he was just being polite. He said, "Alright, you don't have to worry about this. I know what I'm doing. Come, come, let's drink!"
At that moment, Lu Yiwei's phone rang in his pocket. He took it out and saw it was from Zhang Zhiyuan. He immediately tensed up and went outside to answer the call.
