Two hours later.
When Seo Dong-jun entered the hotel restaurant, he saw that Tong Qing Meng was already seated. Although she was wearing a hat, sunglasses, and her clothes were airtight, Seo Dong-jun could still recognize her at a glance.
How could he not recognize her?
He would be able to recognize this woman even if she turned into ashes.
He stepped forward, took off his sunglasses, and placed them aside. He pulled out a chair and sat down. He took the lead and said, "I know you're afraid that the reporters will see us together. If you're worried, we can find a private place."
"If someone takes a picture of us, it'll be even harder to explain."
Tong Qing Meng explained in a low voice. She paused and said directly, "Since you're here, let's get straight to the point."
"Have you eaten?" Seo Dong-jun couldn't help but ask.
"I didn't come here to eat with you."
Tong Qing Meng tried her best not to look into his eyes. She didn't take off her sunglasses, and the dark lenses naturally hid too much of her emotions. Seo Dong-jun couldn't calm down, but he didn't say anything. "Then tell me, why did you ask me to come here?"
Tong Qing Meng licked the corner of her lips nervously.
Seo Dong-jun saw it, and his heart skipped a beat. Who said that people change? Maybe people change, but subconsciously, those little actions wouldn't change.
Back then, when Tong Qing Meng was nervous, she would do the same thing.
"I want to tell you that the matter with Wanwan isn't entirely about Wanwan. It's about Wanwan and Wen Han-woo."
Tong Qing Meng didn't give herself a chance to hesitate. She pinched the web between her thumb and index finger, took a deep breath, and finally continued, "Wanwan told me today that she wants to be with Wen Han-woo. I think they might remarry. After all, Xiao Yu is almost six years old. Children can't always be like this."
Seo Dong-jun didn't quite understand. He frowned. "You're talking about Wanwan and Hanwoo. What are you trying to say?"
"You and Wen Yuehua …"
Tong Qing Meng also felt that it was quite selfish of her to bring up this matter at this time, but she had no choice for her daughter. "I don't know who found out about this matter this time. They can still clearly sort out our relationship from so many years ago. Of course, I know that Miss Wen is pregnant. Actually, I don't mean anything else, but now everyone in B City knows about our relationship in the past. If you and Miss Wen get married, and then Wanwan and Wen Han-woo remarry, won't this relationship be too complicated? We might be able to understand it ourselves, but those children are innocent. I don't want them to suffer so much gossip. "
This time, she made it so clear that Seo Dong-jun understood.
He raised his eyes, looked at Tong Qingmeng, and asked, "Then what do you mean?"
Tong Qing Meng was silent for a moment. There were some things that she really didn't know how to say, but she knew that if she didn't say it this time, she might have to shoulder more in the future. Now that everything was still under control, even if Seo Dong-jun held a grudge against her, she would accept it —
"I think that you should either go abroad with Miss Wen or leave B City. This way, the two children won't be too embarrassed."
Seo Dong-jun seemed to have expected her to say this. When she laid out the long story just now, he already knew her purpose for looking for him today.
But when he really heard those words coming out of her mouth, his heart was still too uncomfortable, and even his face darkened a little.
The two of them sat across from each other. For a moment, neither of them spoke. Tong Qing Meng was waiting for Seo Dong-jun's reply, while Seo Dong-jun just lowered his eyes. No one knew what he was thinking.
However, at this time, the two of them, who were immersed in their own thoughts, didn't notice that a man in a suit walked in from the main entrance of the restaurant. Behind him were two people who looked like assistants. As soon as the man entered the restaurant, his slender fingers unbuttoned his suit. As he walked upstairs, his gaze swept across the room and he saw the two of them sitting there.
Wen Han-woo didn't expect that when he came to meet the person in charge of LK, he would unexpectedly see Tong Qing Meng and Seo Dong-jun.
Tong Qing Meng was dressed very inconspicuously, but Wen Han-woo's sharp eyes recognized her at a glance.
Why did she choose to meet Seo Dong-jun here at such a sensitive time?
The man's sharp brows furrowed slightly. However, due to the two assistants standing beside him, he quickly averted his gaze and walked forward as if nothing had happened.
Tong Qing Meng had already stood up. She reached out to lift the sunglasses on the bridge of her nose. She pursed her lips and said, "I know you'll definitely think that my request is too much, but I'm doing this for the sake of the children. You might think that the two children have nothing to do with you, but if you really want to be with Miss Wen, Hanwoo can be considered your nephew. "
Tong Qing Meng paused when she said this. It was a little difficult, but she had no choice but to continue speaking. However, her tone was much calmer than before. "Dongjun, I know that deep down, you must be blaming me for being cruel. However, what's done is done. It's been over 30 years. No matter how deep our relationship is, it will fade away with time. Now, I have children, a husband, and a complete family. It's something that I've been working hard to build for all these years. So, I really don't want to be tormented by a faded past. Perhaps you think that I'm too selfish, but who isn't selfish? You don't have children. No, you have children now. You must understand my heart as a mother. I don't want you to never see each other again, but if it's possible, you can live outside and come back once in a while. You can also avoid it, even if it's just for a few years. Later on, as time passes, everything will fade away. "
Tong Qing Meng thought of this as the best and safest way so far.
Actually, for Seo Dong-jun and Wen Yuehua, as long as they really wanted to, leaving B City was not a difficult matter.
However, Seo Dong-jun naturally felt very uncomfortable when he heard her words.
He had never forgotten this woman, but she had already thrown him to the back of her mind. Now, for the sake of their children, she even wanted him to leave.
Seo Dong-jun raised his head and looked at Tong Qing Meng. He did not directly answer her question. After pondering for a moment, he said, "Sit down."
Tong Qing Meng did not move.
Seo Dong-jun said, "Sit down. I know what you mean. Today is the last time we'll see each other. If there's no need to, we don't have to see each other again. I understand. I can understand your painstaking efforts. So, sit down. Since this is the last time we'll see each other, can you help me solve the doubts in my heart? "
Tong Qing Meng's fingers, which were holding her handbag, twitched slightly. In the end, she still sat down.
Seo Dong-jun did not beat around the bush. He asked directly, "Back then, you said that you were no longer in this world. I want to know if you knew about this. Or was that your original intention back then? "
Actually, this statement back then was a misunderstanding.
But now that things had come to this, what was the point of saying so much?
"I'm sorry. I really don't want to talk about what happened back then. I've already said that it's all in the past. There's no point in talking about it anymore. Perhaps you just want a reasonable explanation, but I don't think it's that important whether you say it or not. If you really want an explanation, then … back then, I did take the initiative to give up on you."
Tong Qing Meng stood up again. This time, she did not stay any longer. She only nodded slightly at Seo Dong-jun. That was all she could do to apologize. This was all she could do.
As he watched the woman's back gradually disappear into the distance, Seo Dong-jun felt as though his heart had been hollowed out by something.
It was impossible for him not to feel anything. It was as if he had been stabbed by a knife. After struggling for so many years, the wound that had finally scabbed over was cruelly opened again. He just wanted a reason, but she would not let him die in peace …
Wen Han-woo stood at the door of the room. The two assistants handed him the details of the contract. After taking it, he said, "You can go back first. I can handle it alone."
The two assistants knew Wen Han-woo's ability. In fact, it was just a negotiation for cooperation. Naturally, they would not have any objections. They quickly nodded and went downstairs.
Wen Han-woo reached out and knocked on the door. Soon, a particularly deep voice came from inside. Although he had not seen the person in person, Wen Han-woo knew that the person who came to discuss the contract with him today was the chief executive of LK. The person who contacted the Wen Group before was said to be the general manager of LK. Of course, Chen Fangfei had investigated clearly that he was the son of LK's chief executive. However, LK's chief executive had more than one child. They just did not find out much about his specific family situation.
Of course, Wen Han-woo did not care about these things.
He was just looking for someone to cooperate with to develop the resort. He did not want to pry into other people's privacy. He naturally did not care about how many children they had or how many wives they had. In short, as long as the contract between LK and Wen Group was finalized, there would be no problem.
Previously, the negotiations had been relatively smooth. This time, it was because of the last hurdle. LK had actually sent out their highest authority. Wen Hanyu wanted to show his sincerity, so naturally, he had to personally come.
Before he pushed the door open and entered, he had already estimated from the man's voice that he should be in his fifties.
When he saw the person in person, he was even more certain of his guess.
Inside was a small and elegantly decorated private room. A man in his fifties was wearing a set of black casual clothes. Although he was an old man, it could be seen that he had taken good care of himself. He looked very energetic, and his facial features revealed some wisdom and calmness that had settled over the years.
The aura of the highest authority of the huge and mysterious LK Group seemed to be a little mysterious.
Wen Hanyu had been in the business world for so many years. He had seen all kinds of people, but there were only a few who could really make him admire them from the bottom of his heart. However, the one in front of him — with just a glance, he felt that the man who was elegantly pouring tea was not simple.
"President Wen, you're here?"
