Liu Lihai didn't say anything. Gong Yue got up and went to Sun Xiaomu's room. Only Liu Lihai and Sun Honghui were left in the big living room. The official's wife, who almost became her mother-in-law, was also staring at Liu Lihai at this time. She wanted to know what this young man wanted to say when he came to the door. Because she also felt that Sun Xiaomu was unhappy in Beijing. Although she always smiled and said that everything was fine, every time, as a mother, she could feel that this laughter was not real. It was a bitter and helpless smile.
Sun Honghui knew that she was the flesh that fell from her body. However, Meng Anda insisted on letting Sun Xiaomu marry to Beijing. She couldn't object. Moreover, it had come to this point. Was it useful for her to object?
"Xiao Liu, if you have something to say, just say it." Sun Honghui looked at Liu Lihai politely and said.
"Auntie, in fact, there are a lot of misunderstandings between me and Xiaomu. But things have come to this point. No matter what I say, it is meaningless. The reason why I let Xiaomu go is not that my love for her has changed, but that I want her to find a better man, have a better marriage, and be able to live a happier life than with me. Secretary General Meng is right. She and I are not from the same family. Marriage probably needs to be well-matched, right?
But, Auntie, what about now? You've found a good family that matches her, but is Xiaomu happy? Is she happy? As a mother, do you know what she is thinking? What does she need? "Liu Lihai asked so many questions in one breath, and the more he said, the more excited he became.
"Are you blaming me?" Sun Honghui asked a little unhappily. She thought it was something big, but Liu Lihai said these big and general questions. At this time, was it meaningful to say these things? Besides, if Meng Anda knew that this young man came to find her, he would blame her.
It wasn't easy to wear the title of an official's wife. On the one hand, she had to worry about the safety of the man who gave her glory and whether he would be promoted. On the other hand, she had to show him her docile and virtuous side. She couldn't be distracted by the housework, and she couldn't be bothered with the management of the relatives. She really wanted to be a good woman who stood behind this man. But the official's wife also had her own temper, her own life, and her own thoughts. On this point, how many people could understand the women behind these men who were in high positions?
Just like now, when Liu Lihai came to his house and criticized him like this, what right did he have? If it was Meng Anda who was sitting now, would he dare? Thinking of this, Sun Honghui's expression naturally became unsightly. This scene fell into the eyes of Liu Lihai, only then did he know that he was too impulsive, and this was the wife of a high-ranking leader in Jiangnan, how could he be so impulsive?
Liu Lihai suppressed his impatience and tried to make his tone, expression, and even sitting posture more stable. He looked at Sun Honghui and said, "Auntie, don't you know anything about Xiaomu's life in Beijing?"
"She is going to be a bride in a few days, and she is very happy in Beijing. Minister Liu's parents like her very much. You and her are not destined to be together, so can you bless her? Besides, there is a difference between marriage and love. My family's Elder Meng's idea is right, and I also think that marriage needs to be matched. How many couples can last long in a marriage with an inappropriate background?
Xiao Liu, auntie is an experienced person. Although auntie doesn't approve of the relationship between you and Xiaomu, I didn't object too much. But now, auntie still wants to tell you that life is not about falling in love. Falling in love, counting the stars, looking at the moon, and playing with romance is just one day. But there is no firewood, no rice, no salt, and how to prepare three meals a day, how to have children, how to educate them, and so on.
Xiao Liu, it's not that auntie doesn't believe you, but when it comes to living, it needs to be matched. Elder Meng and I only have one daughter, Xiaomu. She has never had to worry about food and clothing since she was young. It can be said that her quality of life has always been very high, and many habits can't be changed once they are formed. I will make a very small comparison. You have seen my house, and there are two bathrooms. Xiaomu has been used to the toilet since she was young, and many habits can't be changed once they are formed. When Xiaomu came back, she unconsciously said, "Mom, I really miss the bathroom at home."
Xiao Liu, it's not that auntie despises the poor and favors the rich. I have also gone through hard times to get to where I am now. But when I heard my daughter say that, as a mother, I felt very sad, and as a mother, I don't want my daughter to suffer anymore. All parents in the world have this kind of mentality, so Xiao Liu, you have to understand us.
Besides, you are still young. When you really reach our age, you will understand the thinking of parents, and understand that our decision is right, and it is for Xiaomu's good. " Sun Honghui persuaded Liu Lihai instead. At least, she had never hated this boy. She didn't want to hurt this young man, but she needed to let him understand that marriage and love were indeed two different things. Let him forget Sun Xiaomu and start his own life again. This was a good thing for him and Xiaomu, and it was also a new beginning.
After all, Sun Honghui still despised herself as a nobody, and she didn't deserve Sun Xiaomu. Not knowing why, Liu Lihai's heart was stung again, and he really wanted to fling his sleeves and leave. But when he plucked up the courage to break into Meng Anda's house, didn't he want to destroy Sun Xiaomu's marriage? He hadn't achieved his goal, so how could he leave?
"Auntie, do you know that the person Xiaomu is going to marry is a playboy?" Liu Lihai couldn't help but say excitedly.
"Who said that? Who did you hear it from? "Sun Honghui also asked anxiously.
"Auntie, I called Xiaomu today. That man was next to her, and he kept scolding her on the phone. Later, when I called again, Xiaomu's phone couldn't be connected. This is also the reason why I rushed to the province in a hurry. I feel that Xiaomu shouldn't marry such a man. This man doesn't love Xiaomu, and Xiaomu doesn't love him either. Otherwise, he wouldn't scold Xiaomu like that, and Xiaomu wouldn't compromise like this.
Also, Xiaomu's phone suddenly couldn't be connected. It must be that man's doing. Xiaomu is not happy at all. Auntie, do you know that Xiaomu is not happy? She is not happy. Auntie, believe me, I can feel that Xiaomu is really not happy. "Liu Lihai was agitated, for fear that Sun Honghui couldn't understand his words.
"Are you so sure that Xiaomu is not happy? Are you still thinking of making up with Xiaomu? And do you think you can afford to give Xiaomu happiness? Marriage is about matching social status. Do you understand? I'm persuading you with kind words because Xiaomu used to love you. If you insist on doing things your own way, I don't think I can help you if my Elder Meng blames you. You, you'd better leave. " Sun Honghui didn't want to listen to Liu Lihai anymore because there was no possibility of anything changing. Moreover, Liu Lihai's words were all guesses. How could she believe him if there was nothing substantial?
"Auntie," Liu Lihai called out, but Sun Honghui stood up. It was obvious that she was going to send him out again.
Liu Lihai was stunned. Was this the result he came to the provincial capital for?
Liu Lihai had to stand up, but his eyes still fell on Sun Honghui's face. Sun Honghui's expression had an indescribable heaviness. This heaviness made Liu Lihai withdraw his foot that was about to step out. He said to Sun Honghui, "Auntie, I'll say one last thing. Xiaomu is not a tool. She is your daughter. I love her, and my heart aches for her." After that, Liu Lihai shouted, "Xiao Yue, let's go."
When Gong Yue heard Liu Lihai's shout, she ran out of Sun Xiaomu's room. When she saw the atmosphere in the living room, she knew that the two people didn't have a good talk. She was just about to speak when Liu Lihai took her hand and walked out.
Sun Honghui stared at the backs of the two young people and didn't know what to say for a while. She didn't wake up until the door of her house was slammed shut. She rushed to the phone and called Sun Xiaomu. As expected, the phone couldn't be connected, so she had to call Liu Jingming's home. When the call was connected, Liu Jingming's wife picked up. When she heard that it was Liu Jingming's mother, she said happily, "Madam, the two children ordered wedding dresses today and went to take wedding photos. They are a perfect match. Yuanyuan came back and said that when they took the wedding photos, everyone was shocked. You should come to Beijing earlier. There are many guests, so you can help. "
Liu Jingming's wife was so happy on the phone that Sun Honghui's worried heart was relieved. However, she still asked, "Where's Xiaomu?"
"Madam asked about Xiaomu. After the child came back for dinner, she asked Yuanyuan to send her to the hotel. She insisted on moving back home after the wedding." Mrs. Liu's tone sounded very happy, as if nothing had happened between Sun Xiaomu and Liu Yuanyuan.
"I'm sorry to let you worry about the children. I thank you in advance. I'll fly to Beijing with Anda as soon as possible. " Sun Honghui said politely, and Mrs. Liu also said politely. The two of them hung up the phone. Sun Honghui's heart, which was hanging up because of Liu Lihai's arrival, was also relieved. She thought that Liu Lihai must have deliberately come to cause trouble. After Sun Xiaomu and Liu Yuanyuan got married, they would definitely live happily.
Of course, this was only Sun Honghui's wishful thinking. But how many parents didn't think so? Liu Jiashu had deep roots. Even if he retired now, he could still let Xiaomu and their descendants live a good life. She believed in her Elder Meng's judgment on this point. Because of this, she turned a blind eye to everything that Meng Anda did. Even if she knew that the person Xiaomu really loved was Liu Lihai, and Xiaomu could endure any hardships for him. And after she suffered, she would never tell her. The thing about hygiene was just something Xiaomu said unconsciously. Sun Honghui was very clear about this.
Now the arrow was on the string. Not to mention that she and Elder Meng had no way out, even if they had a way out, they must let their daughter marry into the Liu Family.
A few days later, the wedding of Leng Hongyan and Sun Xiaomu was held in Beijing at the same time, and Liu Lihai flew to Beijing with Yao Haidong, Zhu Dejiang, and Ma Jinxiu.
On the plane, Ma Jinxiu, Liu Lihai, and Yao Haidong sat together, and Zhu Dejiang sat in the back row.
Ma Jinxiu still looked very happy. He said with a smile, "Sister Leng finally married herself."
"Jinxiu, you have to marry yourself as soon as possible." Yao Haidong looked at Ma Jinxiu and joked.
"I'm not as lucky as Sister Leng. If I can meet a general, I will marry myself immediately." Ma Jinxiu replied to Yao Haidong with a smile.
"Are you not going to marry in this life if a general doesn't appear? Women can't afford to be delayed. "Yao Haidong was very anxious for Ma Jinxiu.
"Secretary General, what I'm most concerned about now is why Lin County hasn't been accepted yet? Have you heard any news recently? As for whether I get married or not, it all depends on fate. "Ma Jinxiu changed the topic to the problem of Lin County.
Liu Lihai was listening at the side, but his eyes fell on Yao Haidong's face. He couldn't bear to break Ma Jinxiu's dream, but would Yao Haidong break it for her?
Liu Lihai was waiting for Yao Haidong's answer to Ma Jinxiu, and Ma Jinxiu was also waiting for Yao Haidong's words.
"Jinxiu, do you care about the position of secretary very much?" Yao Haidong suddenly asked Ma Jinxiu.
This question made Ma Jinxiu's face suddenly darkened. This sentence was obviously hinting that the position of secretary would not belong to her.
"Brother Yao, just tell me clearly. I can accept it." Ma Jinxiu lowered his voice and didn't call him secretary general anymore. Instead, he called him "Brother Yao."
"Jinxiu, since you recognize me as your brother, I, as your brother, also want to say something. Sometimes, let nature take its course. Just like the minister, no matter which step she takes, there is a natural posture. The more she wants something, the more likely she will lose it. On this point, we all have to learn from the minister. " Yao Haidong still didn't make it clear, but the more he said so, the more Ma Jinxiu understood that there must be another candidate for the position of secretary of Lin County. Thinking of Liu Lihai's attitude again, she was more convinced of this. Thinking of this, she couldn't help but look at Liu Lihai's face.
Liu Lihai pretended to look at the sky outside, as if he didn't hear the conversation between Ma Jinxiu and Yao Haidong. After that, Ma Jinxiu didn't say anything again, nor did Yao Haidong.
After arriving in Beijing, they went directly to Leng Hongyan's wedding. The car was arranged by Leng Hongyan to pick them up. Because Ma Jinxiu had been in a bad mood after asking about the situation in Lin County on the plane, although he looked calm, he rarely spoke. On this day, Liu Lihai was a little restless. Therefore, in the car, except for Zhu Dejiang, who could talk, everyone seemed to be thinking about something.
The car drove them directly to the wedding banquet, which was a restaurant inside the Military Commission. Because the car was also a military commission car, the journey was smooth. When they arrived at the entrance of the restaurant, Leng Hongyan, Old Master Ji, and Lv Wei, the bridesmaid, were standing at the door to welcome the guests.
Although Leng Hongyan was forty years old, which was a little embarrassing for a bride at this age, she was indeed very beautiful. The white wedding dress made the tall Leng Hongyan look noble, generous, simple, and clear. This kind of beauty really couldn't be reflected by a little girl. In addition, Lu Wei, the bridesmaid, was another kind of woman's beauty. They complemented each other and had their own advantages, which made all the people who came to the wedding exclaim. In Liu Lihai's eyes, this pair of stunning beauties became the biggest highlight of the whole wedding.
When Yao Haidong led Liu Lihai and a group of people to appear, Old Master Ji's guests also arrived. He was busy greeting them, and Yao Haidong let Leng Hongyan greet them. There was also Lu Wei, who jokingly asked Liu Lihai, "Handsome, am I beautiful today?" The question was so direct, and it was in front of Leng Hongyan, which made Liu Lihai's face turn red, and he wanted to dig a hole and hide in it. Fortunately, Yao Haidong helped him out, saying, "Xiao Wei, today is the minister's beautiful day. Why are you stealing the limelight?"
"Haha." Lu Wei laughed out loud, and quickly covered her mouth with her hand. After all, there were many guests, and all of them were big shots. This was not Jiangnan, so Lu Wei couldn't be too presumptuous.
