Ch 90: Met A Terrible Man On A Blind Date
However, it’s definitely a bit shameful to talk about it. These days, divorces are rare, and Wang Cuie, a rural woman, was actually persuaded into divorce by her daughter.
But when there are too many lice, one doesn’t fear the bites. They all let their sons marry their older brother’s wife, so their in-laws’ divorce isn’t big news.
Moreover, after getting along for such a long time, Gu Jianjun and Tian Shufang are quite familiar with Shen Mingyue’s character.
As long as she’s determined to do something, it’s hard for others to dissuade her. In the end, they will have to compromise. After all, Shen Mingyue is pregnant. If she accidentally receives any stimulus and something happens to the child, it will be troublesome.
“Anyway, Mingyue, you can decide. Our home is so big, your mother can stay as long as she wants.”
Tian Shufang glanced at her son and said.
Zhou Xiaofei on the side was thoughtful. Logically, Shen Mingyue is a daughter. Why should she support her mother in old age? She has two older brothers above her. It shouldn’t be her, a married daughter’s responsibility. Besides, Wang Cuie isn’t that old, and she isn’t bedridden.
Furthermore, which daughter instigates their parents’ divorce? Shen Mingyue’s actions are becoming more and more unbelievable. But the family members let her act recklessly, which is outrageous.
But now she doesn’t have a say in the family, so she can only eat in silence.
Gu Sisi wrinkled her nose, wanting to say something, but she held back.
She dislikes Shen Mingyue, but she has no opinion on Wang Cuie. It’s fine for her to stay at their house. Besides, Wang Cuie cooks much better than her own mother.
As for Gu Yuanyang, he always ignores things outside his concern. As long as it doesn’t involve him, he won’t interfere.
And he also realized that Shen Mingyue is a formidable person. Even if the family doesn’t agree now, they will eventually have to compromise.
“Thank you, Mother-in-law. I’m sorry to add trouble to you.”
Wang Cuie said embarrassedly. The matter was thus settled.
After dinner, Gu Sisi pulled Gu Yuanzhou aside.
“Second Brother, do you remember what I told you last time? Did Zeng Tian say anything?”
Gu Yuanzhou looked at his sister, a little helpless. “You’d better not have any designs on him. Zeng Tian is not someone you can manipulate. You should focus on your studies now.”
His sister is naive, like a simpleton. What kind of person is Zeng Tian? He was unruly since childhood. He served in the military for so many years, and his temperament is very strong. Gu Sisi is much younger than him. If they really get together, Gu Sisi will suffer.
He knows Zeng Tian too well and knows what kind of female comrade he likes.
“Second Brother, don’t worry about this. I know what I’m doing.”
Gu Sisi was a little unwilling. She has liked him for so many years. How can she change her mind? She is not fickle.
This week, she plans to ask Zeng Tian out to play. If they spend more time together, they will surely develop feelings.
Gu Sisi asked a few more questions before leaving. With her second brother watching over her, Shen Mingyue certainly wouldn’t dare to fool around outside.
After dinner, when Zhou Xiaofei went upstairs to the second floor, she met Gu Yuanyang.
Zhou Xiaofei’s heart stirred, and she went downstairs, looking for an opportunity to chat with Gu Yuanyang.
As they talked, she intentionally or unintentionally mentioned Wang Cuie’s matter.
“Yuanyang, Mom and Dad are becoming more and more tolerant. If the news of Second Sister-in-law’s parents’ divorce gets out, some people will gossip. What do you think?”
Zhou Xiaofei wanted to bring Gu Yuanyang to her side, but Gu Yuanyang didn’t care about this matter.
“That’s true, but they have already agreed. I guess it’s fine. It doesn’t concern us, so we don’t need to worry about it.”
Gu Yuanyang didn’t take the bait, and Zhou Xiaofei couldn’t do anything. If she said too much, Gu Yuanyang might tattle.
Back in her room, Zhou Xiaofei felt increasingly frustrated. They say they are a family, but the Gu family certainly didn’t treat her as their biological daughter, so she hasn’t integrated into this large family.
Thinking of this, she felt more resentment towards Gu Jianjun and the others.
There were no classes at school the next day. After tidying up in the morning, Shen Mingyue drove to pick up Bai Jingjing. Today, Bai Jingjing was going on a blind date, and Shen Mingyue agreed to accompany her.
At the entrance of the Bai family home, Shen Mingyue also saw Bai Haitian. Bai Haitian greeted her politely, and then Bai Jingjing got in the car.
They arrived at the restaurant and found that there weren’t many people there yet. A male comrade was waiting there early, occasionally looking towards the entrance. Bai Jingjing walked over and politely asked, “Hello, are you Comrade Tan?”
That man looked at Bai Jingjing and nodded.
“Yes, I am. Are you Comrade Bai Jingjing?”
Bai Jingjing nodded and then beckoned Shen Mingyue to come over.
The moment he saw Shen Mingyue, Tan Liming’s eyes lit up.
Shen Mingyue was so beautiful that any man would look at her more than once.
Tan Liming pointed at Shen Mingyue, stammering, “This, who is this?”
“This is my good friend. She happened to be free today, so she came with me. You don’t mind, do you?”
Tan Liming nodded repeatedly. “No, no, it’s just an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks.”
After the three of them sat down, they started chatting briefly. Bai Jingjing was clearly a little restrained; she wasn’t good at handling such occasions.
Although her attire today was deliberately feminine, her overall temperament was still rather androgynous.
As they chatted, Shen Mingyue noticed something was wrong. The man’s blind date was Bai Jingjing, but the conversation kept subtly shifting to her, his intentions were too obvious.
Bai Jingjing wasn’t stupid; she quickly noticed this and immediately frowned.
“Comrade Tan, this is a blind date between the two of us. Why are you so curious about my friend?”
Tan Liming reacted and chuckled awkwardly. “I was just trying to liven up the atmosphere.”
Bai Jingjing didn’t like this feeling; she felt they weren’t compatible and wished she could leave immediately.
Thankfully, Shen Mingyue was there, and they could chat occasionally, otherwise, she wouldn’t have been able to stay even for a minute.
After chatting for a while, Tan Liming learned about Bai Jingjing’s conditions. To be honest, he wasn’t interested.
Although the Bai family’s conditions were good, Bai Jingjing worked in a clothing store, and she looked like a man; compared to the person beside her, she was far inferior.
When he learned that Shen Mingyue was Bai Jingjing’s boss, he became even more infatuated and, ignoring Bai Jingjing’s possible misunderstanding, started chatting directly with Shen Mingyue.
Shen Mingyue gave this man a big X. No wonder Bai Jingjing was always unwilling to go on blind dates. If she met this kind of person, who lacked even basic respect, there was nothing to talk about.
If it weren’t for the sake of appearances, Bai Jingjing would have wanted to leave with Shen Mingyue immediately. But remembering her parents’ instructions, she decided to finish the meal before leaving.
After the food was served, Bai Jingjing didn’t bother to pay attention to him anymore and was busy eating a lot.
Just then, two young men entered from the entrance, found a seat, and sat down. After ordering their food, they quickly noticed Bai Jingjing and the others.
