Lian's old house

Zhang Ling had arrived early and was sitting on the sofa with Lian's mother, eating tea and chatting.

It was past seven o'clock, and Lian Haoqi still didn't come back, which made Zhang Ling a little embarrassed.

"Aunt, Hao Qi probably doesn't want to see me, so I'd better leave first."

Zhang Ling stood up from the sofa and was about to leave, but was stopped by Lian Mu, "Sit down, he won't dare not come back. There must be something in the company that makes him come back late."

Lian's mother knew Lian Haoqi well, and she said she would be so angry that she would have a heart attack. How dare he not come back?

Just as he was talking, the doorbell rang. The housekeeper stepped forward and opened the door, and Lian Haoqi walked in.

"Look, he's coming back soon."

Lian's mother called Lian Haoqi, "Come here quickly, Zhang Ling has been waiting for you for a long time."

"What are you waiting for me to do? You can have dinner first."

Lian Haoqi deliberately delayed his return. He thought Zhang Ling would be unable to bear it and leave first, but he didn't expect that she was still there.

How could he not know the reason why Lian's mother asked him to go back to his old house for dinner?

He never wanted to date any woman again, even if this Zhang Ling was his childhood playmate.

He did not listen to Lian's mother and go to the living room. Instead, he sat down directly at the dining table and called the butler, "Hurry up and serve the food. I still have something to do after dinner."

"aunt……"

Zhang Ling felt a little aggrieved that she was not treated favorably by Lian Haoqi at all.

"Come, let's go have dinner."

Lian's mother took Zhang Ling's hand and walked to the dining table to sit down together.

Even my father came out of the study. He was not optimistic about this blind date, but he didn't say anything.

The housekeeper asked the servants to serve the dishes one after another, but Lian Haoqi just lowered his head to eat the food without even looking at Zhang Ling.

Lian's mother was a little annoyed and kicked Lian Haoqi under the table, signaling with her eyes that he and Zhang Ling should have a chat.

Lian Haoqi frowned and said, "Mom, I've come back for dinner as you asked. I also said, don't arrange a blind date for me, I won't accept it."

His words were too straightforward, and he didn't care about Zhang Ling's slightly changed expression.

Zhang Ling looked at Lian's mother aggrievedly, "Aunt, since Hao Qi doesn't want to go on a blind date with me, don't force him. Thank you Aunt for your hospitality tonight, I'll leave first."

She stood up and left, but Lian's mother asked her to stay, "Zhang Ling, don't leave in a hurry. At least finish your dinner before leaving."

"No, aunt, I know myself."

Zhang Ling is also a smart woman and knows that if she continues to stay, it will only make Lian Haoqi hate her even more.

Taking retreat as an opportunity to advance may even make Lian Haoqi interested in her.

She overestimated herself and underestimated Lian Haoqi. No matter what method she used, it was impossible for Lian Haoqi to be interested in her.

Seeing Zhang Ling's eyes secretly turning towards Lian Haoqi, Lian's mother knew what she was thinking and quickly urged Lian Haoqi, "Son, please open your mouth and keep someone else."

"Mom, if she wants to leave, let her go. What should I keep her for?"

Lian Haoqi was eager for Zhang Ling to leave immediately, so how could he keep her?

Zhang Ling's expression changed, she picked up her bag and left. If she waited any longer, she would become a joke.

"Son, what are you doing?"

Lian's mother glared at Lian Haoqi angrily, "Since you are back, can't you treat others with a good attitude? When she was a child, she always liked to stick behind you and play together. You can be considered a childhood sweetheart after all, right?"

"Mom, it's just because I'm so familiar with you that I don't want to do anything."

Lian Haoqi spent four ounces of his daughter's money to stop Lian's mother from speaking.

Lian's mother frowned, "You two haven't seen each other for nearly twenty years. What are you familiar with?"

"If I'm not familiar with her, I don't want to take action. I don't have the time to get to know her slowly, and she's not my type."

Lian Haoqi's words made Lian's mother understand that he did not want to remarry at all.

"Yes, I know you like Wang Jing, but she has a husband now and can't get back together with you. What are you still looking forward to?"

Lian's mother was helpless, "Son, you are not young anymore. You see, Cheng Yu has two children, and your children don't even have a shadow."

"Mom, I don't want to marry any woman just to have children. I don't love her but let her give birth to my child, which is actually harming her."

Lian Haoqi sighed, "If there is a divorce in the future, the children will be hurt the most. Why should I do it when I can obviously foresee this outcome?"

"you……"

Lian's mother was speechless by Lian Haoqi's words. What he said did make sense.

But when she saw Lian Haoqi being single for Wang Jing, she was anxious. Wang Jing had a husband and children, but he had nothing.

"Mom, please don't interfere in my affairs."

Lian Haoqi enlightened Lian's mother, "You are not in good health either. Just enjoy life with peace of mind."

"Okay, I can't control you anymore."

Lian's mother shook her head helplessly. She knew that if she continued to be stubborn, Lian Haoqi might compromise. But the divorce he mentioned was very likely to happen in the future.

He has already been divorced once. If he gets divorced again, what will people outside say about him?

"Mom, let's have dinner."

Lian Haoqi took Lian's mother's favorite fried lotus root and put it into her bowl, "Children and grandchildren will have their own blessings, so you should think less about me. Take good care of your body and enjoy your old age with Dad.

It’s much more cost-effective than worrying about sex.”

Only then did Lian's father speak, "Hao Qi is right. In the future, if we close our eyes, how can we care so much? You should stop worrying about this. That girl Zhang Ling is not suitable for him. You can force them to be together."

What’s the use of being together?”

"Old Lian, why don't you speak for me?"

Seeing that Lian's father was also fighting against her, Lian's mother said angrily, "Son, you are the only child in the Lian family, and you will inherit all the property. If you don't get married and have children, how will the property be passed down in the future?"

"Mom, don't think about this."

Lian Haoqi knew that Lian's mother had very traditional ideas and the property must be passed down from generation to generation.

But he didn't think so. If he really had no heirs in the future, he could donate all his property as charity.

The three of them had dinner, and Lian Haoqi chatted with his parents for a while before getting up to leave.

"Son, you can stay in the old house tonight. Your room is decorated like a new house, but you and Wang Jing have never slept together once."

Even the mother did not expect that their marriage would be so short, so short that people were caught off guard.

"Alright."

Lian Haoqi agreed. These days, he has neglected his parents too much and should spend time with them.

Back in the room, he looked at the furnishings and shook his head with a wry smile. He and Wang Jing got married unwillingly at that time, so how could he let her come back to live in his old house?

If he knew at that time that he would slowly fall in love with Wang Jing, how could he treat her like that?

Cherishing does have to start from the beginning. When you lose it, it will be too late to wake up.

The good things he does to Wang Jing now are just what he thinks he should do for her, and he doesn't dare to expect anything in return from her.
