Chapter 748: The Flower Delivery Mistake
Translator: Exodus Tales Editor: Exodus Tales
âYou say, this girl, Zhao Ying, wonât scam us, right?â w.a.n.g Guifen, the mother of Zhao Ying, was on the plane. She spoke to Zhao Daquan, Father Zhao, next to her.
âYouâre really suspicious. This time you attending the wedding of your Third Auntyâs daughter. You had to go to Song Jiang to take a look first and then take a bus to Mount Jing⌠This is just too troublesome for others⌠You also know my leg isnât goodâŚâ Zhao Daquan complained.
âWhat do you know!? You donât understand anything!â w.a.n.g Guifen glared and said, âLook. My Third Auntyâs family were originally extremely poor! Since my cousin found a lover, the man solved everything! My Third Aunty was a housewife and no one even wanted her to clean the toilet. What does she know? Now sheâs a department manager! Originally my Third Aunty just opened a small stall to sell breakfast. You see, within a year, they opened a restaurant!â
âWhy are you comparing yourself with others about this? Our family isnât in a tough spot.â Zhao Daquan said it as if it didnât matter.
âIsnât in a tough spot? It is alright just because itâs not difficult?â w.a.n.g Guifen frowned and began to complain. âAlthough I wasnât the campus belle back then, I was still one of the belles in school. There were a lot of people who chased me. Why did I choose you, an honest intellectual? After working for so long, how many days of blessings have I enjoyed? Other women that are my age go for beauty and fitness all day, drinking tea and chatting with a few good friends. But could I? You look at Li Xiaoyu. Back then she didnât look as good as me. How good does she look now? She looks like she is younger than me by ten years!â
For w.a.n.g Guifenâs nagging, Zhao Daquan didnât dare to refute. This was also the matter where he felt the sorriest to his wife in his life. At that time, there were many people who pursued w.a.n.g Guifen. There were more people who liked her. There were thirty of them if not fifty! However, Zhao Daquan eventually won over the beauty. In that era of love, there was no such thing as benefits or losses. It was completely romance, and w.a.n.g Guifen didnât think much about the future.
But now, looking at how other people already had private cars, eating at a restaurant every few days, and going on holidays, Zhao Daquanâs heart didnât feel right. Although he wasnât fixated on these things, he knew that w.a.n.g Guifen liked them. She often talked about these with her colleagues and acquaintances in the neighborhood. When she went home, she would always spend a long time admiring them.
âGuifen⌠Iâm sorryâŚâ Zhao Daquan had nothing else to say other than sorry.
âForget it. Good or bad, my life is like this. But our Yingying is still young. Her life is still long. Now she thinks that love is more important than life. Later on, she will think that putting love above life means nothing.â w.a.n.g Guifen said, âLook at my cousin. Sheâs not as pretty as our Yingying, but she married a moneybagâs sonâŚâ
âShe may not be happy⌠Didnât your aunty say that? The boy often spends his days outside indulging in debaucheryâŚâ Zhao Daquan shook his head. âHow is this kind of marriage reliable?â
âHow do you know that you canât rely on it? How many men arenât fickle in relations.h.i.+ps? I donât believe it. If you, Zhao Daquan, had money, wonât you have this crooked thought?â w.a.n.g Guifen said, âYou said ânoâ now because youâre not rich. When you have money, you wouldnât think so!â
Although Zhao Daquan felt guilty towards w.a.n.g Guifen, he was annoyed after listening to her. âAccording to what you said, let our daughter be a mistress. Doesnât that get more money?â
âIf there is a suitable one, it is also a way out!â w.a.n.g Guifenâs mouth twitched.
It was no wonder that w.a.n.g Guifenâs thoughts would be so extreme. When people had reached this age, they had suffered for most of their lives. Every day, for the sake of money, they were calculative. They were really unhappy. They werenât carefree at all. She didnât want Zhao Ying to repeat her mistakes. She also wanted to live more comfortably for the rest of her life.
This Third Aunty originally had nothing to do with her, but a while ago she heard that her cousin went from rags to riches, and w.a.n.g Guifen became enthusiastic.
Zhao Daquanâs mouth moved, and finally, he sighed helplessly. He knew that w.a.n.g Guifen was suffering too much. It was normal to have such an idea.
âWhat do you say? How about the son of Boss Liu who is in our neighborhood?â w.a.n.g Guifen turned to Zhao Daquan and said, âDuring the new year, weâll call Boss Liuâs son, Liu s.h.i.+hao, to have a look when our Yingying comes back. A match at first glance!â
âWho is this Liu s.h.i.+hao? The Hummer in society, you dare to introduce him to our daughter?â Zhao Daquan noticed that w.a.n.g Guifenâs words had become more and more outrageous, and he couldnât help but get angry and say, âBy the looks of it, this boy is not a good thing. He hangs out with a bunch of small punks all the time, fighting and flirting with girlsâŚâ
âTheyâre young people. Itâs normal to be arrogant⌠Theyâll be better in the futureâŚâ said w.a.n.g Guifen.
âOkay. The kid was married before. He divorced after two months. Do you want to ruin Yingying?â Zhao Daquan waved and said.
âThe divorce means nothing. Didnât the woman get more than one million in compensation for her youth?â w.a.n.g Guifen snorted and said, âAnd, this time Boss Liu said, as long as our Yingying agrees, he would buy a house for Yingying, then buy a car. Itâll all be under the Yingyingâs name! Sheâll come back to L City, but also go to his company to work. She doesnât need to do anything. She can easily get a million in a year!â
âYou only have money in your eyes?â Zhao Daquan couldnât listen to this anymore. He glared and said in a low voice.
âYou have the ability now, right? That is good. Can you afford to buy me a car? Thereâs no need to be so luxurious. Tens of thousands of yuan would do. I would want to live more comfortably for the rest of my life!â w.a.n.g Guifen said without showing weakness.
Zhao Daquan pouted his lips⌠In the end, he still didnât say anything. He had to give up and sigh.
Although Zhao Ying said that she had a boyfriend, w.a.n.g Guifen hadnât seen him with her own eyes, so she didnât believe it. The most important thing was that she wanted to see what her boyfriendâs family background was like. If it wasnât good, she had to take Zhao Ying back to go on a blind date with Liu s.h.i.+hao, the son of Boss Liu.
âSister Ying, do you want to borrow Yang Ming?â Chen Mengyan smiled. âNo problem. I will send him to you later.â
âThen, thank you so muchâŚâ Zhao Ying didnât know what to say. She didnât expect Chen Mengyan to agree so easily, so she said it with grat.i.tude. Otherwise, she really wouldnât know how to deal with it!
Zhao Ying knew very well about her motherâs sn.o.bbish att.i.tude but didnât know how to deal with it. Seeing that Chen Mengyan had no objections, she was relieved. She would deal with what was in front of her first.
Originally, she knew that her mom and dad were going to attend the wedding, but she didnât expect them to first take a detour to Song Jiang! Clearly, there were planes flying directly to Mount Jing, but they just had to come to Donghai first and then take a bus to Mount Jing.
Yang Ming listened to Chen Mengyanâs words, and he felt a bit helpless. Something isnât right. So he pretended to be dissatisfied and said, âIâm not a thing. How can you just lend me out?â
âYeah, youâre not a thing [1]âŚâ Chen Mengyan said with a smile.
ââŚâ Yang Ming was stunned and immediately knew that he had been thrown into the pit that he had dug. When did Chen Mengyan become so eloquent?
âBut, donât make it real this time!â Chen Mengyan apparently had already found out some things from Lin Zhiyun.
Yang Ming smiled awkwardly, but Chen Mengyan had already opened the door and got off. âIâll go back first. You donât need to walk me in. You should go find Sister Ying. Donât make her anxious.â
Yang Ming nodded and watched Chen Mengyan enter her unitâs door, and then used his special ability to track her opening the door with the key. Then he started the car and left. Ever since Chen Dazhuang appeared the last time, Yang Ming became more cautious.
In Chen Feiâs position, it was extremely easy to offend people. Therefore, Yang Ming was afraid that someone would retaliate against Chen Fei and make a move on Chen Mengyan.
âManager, I received two bouquets of roses today.â The secretary walked into Sun Jieâs office with the roses and said, âDo you want to throw away the cards and arrange the flowers?â
â En ?â Sun Jie sighed and then a slight smile crossed the corner of her mouth. She said to the secretary, âLet me see the cards.â
âOkay.â Although the secretary was a bit baffled. Why does the manager look at the cards today? But she didnât say anything. She took the cards and handed them to Sun Jie.
Sun Jie took a look at the signature on the card right on top and threw the card into the shredder next to her. She picked up the card below. There was no signature on this card. However, Sun Jie had already guessed who sent it. After reading the text on the card, she couldnât help but smile, âThis guy, I donât know where he copied this fromâŚâ
She shook her head and wanted to throw the card away, but she hesitated and put it in the drawer.
The secretary looked at the smiling Sun Jie. She was very puzzled. She had never seen the manager so happy after receiving flowers. Usually, she was indifferent. Who sent these flowers? It was just that there was no signature on it. The secretary could only use her imaginationâŚ
At the same time, w.a.n.g Xiaoyan was fl.u.s.tered as she held a large bouquet of roses. She gnashed her teeth in anger as she read the sweet words written on the cards in the flowers.
âThis Yang Ming, what do you want? Itâs not over yet?â w.a.n.g Xiaoyan looked at the signature on the card, but there was no place for her to vent her anger.
Initially, you still knew how not to leave a name. Now youâre signing it, and youâre even more unscrupulous⌠w.a.n.g Xiaoyan wanted to throw the card away, but after thinking for a long time, she still decided to keep the card as evidence for Zhao Ying to see.
As for the bouquet of roses, w.a.n.g Xiaoyan had thrown it aside. Every morning, flowers were sent. w.a.n.g Xiaoyan was already used to it, and there was no need to get angry at the people who brought the flowers.
Moreover, it was unnecessary to be difficult to those who worked hard to deliver the flowers. w.a.n.g Xiaoyan wanted to reject them, but she thought that if she didnât sign for it, the flower deliverer would have come for nothing, so she had to sign for it.
