Chapter Fifty-Six: It Turned Out to be a Hongmen Banquet
Xia Mengying remained silent, but Gao Yuting, who had already understood the situation in advance, automatically interpreted her silence as acquiescence.
"Your dad is really going too far." Gao Yuting put down her chopsticks and was filled with indignation. Although she loved spicy food and had never been able to resist the food at Youranju, Xia Mengying felt that it was boring when she thought that she was attending the Hongmen Banquet.
At this moment, there was no appetite at all.
"What he has achieved today is entirely due to Jingyi. How could he do such a thing?"
Xia Dahai did go too far this time, and she was full of resentment towards him. However, Xia Mengying didn't feel at all happy when she heard others accuse him.
Xia Mengying put down the chopsticks in her hands, and she saw Gao Yuting's mouth opening and closing, speaking plausibly, but she felt confused about what she said.
"Mengying, what about you? What do you think? Who are you planning to live with?" Gao Yuting stared at Xia Mengying and asked tentatively.
It wasn't until Gao Yuting called her name that Xia Mengying suddenly came back to her senses. The hand on her knee had been clenched into a fist unconsciously. It seemed that Xia Xiaoxue had told Qi Zhiming everything, and
Qi Zhiming told Gao Yuting these things.
"Is it with mom?"
Xia Mengying was silent. On the way to Youranju, she had been guessing Gao Yuting's intentions and was vaguely prepared in her heart. But now, when she really asked the question in front of her, she felt disgusted.
And boredom.
Ever since she was a child, she has always hated people who approached her with ulterior motives, so she had very few friends. She was so defensive, but she was still hard to guard against.
At this time, she really didn't want to talk about it.
Gao Yuting may have noticed her displeasure and did not continue to ask questions, but she did not really stop.
"This matter is your father's fault. Your mother has nothing but you now."
Gao Yuting frowned and seemed to feel sorry for Fang Jingyi.
Xia Mengying looked up at Gao Yuting. Her expression was natural and sincere, making people feel as if everything she said and did was for herself. Xia Mengying's heart became inexplicably sadder, and she
He twitched the corners of his mouth and allowed the expression on his face to return to its natural state in the shortest possible time.
"Well, I will live with my mother from now on."
When Gao Yuting heard this, the slightly dry corners of her lips curled up. The next moment, the smile on her face turned into deep worry, "What will you and your mother do in the future?"
Gao Yuting sighed, "You are still in school now and will only go out for internship in the second half of the year. Your mother is not in good health. Your father has been the breadwinner for the family all these years. How will you two live without him?"
Xia Mengying was stunned. Her eyes widened when she saw Gao Yuting. She loosened her hands on her knees, tightened them and loosened them again. Finally, she lowered her eyes and held the teacup on the table.
It was summer, but her heart was trembling with coldness.
Although he knew from the beginning that Gao Yuting's sudden visit to him could not be as simple as eating, but now, when he had almost guessed her intention, he still felt uncontrollably disappointed and depressed. He bumped into Qi Zhiming at the Xinghui Hotel that day.
After what happened with Xia Xiaoxue, she really hated Qi Zhiming in her heart, but on the way here, she still held out hope. Maybe Gao Yuting really just called her to have a meal and comfort her. It seemed that
, that is really a luxurious idea.
Why is it how to live after leaving her father? She doesn't want to think too much, but she can't control such thoughts. If she says, Meng Ying, is she very sad? It doesn't matter, everything will pass. Will her mood be better?
Some? But in fact, her concerns are correct. After leaving her father, she and her mother have to live, but neither of them seems to have the ability to make money. Compared with families with the same conditions, she spends less
Money may not be called lavish, but over the years, I have become accustomed to using it for everything.
"I don't know now."
Xia Mengying smiled bitterly. If she had not gone to the mall on her birthday, she would not have met Qi Zhiming and Xia Xiaoxue holding hands in an intimate posture, nor would she have heard those harsh words that made her heartbroken.
If it weren't for this, what Gao Yuting did today would have made her feel purely happy and warm, instead of being suspicious and tempted.
"Why are you so negative? Does your mother have the same attitude as you now? The reason why your father dares to be so unscrupulous is probably because your mother has been used to him over the years. If your uncle Qi dares to do such a thing, I will definitely let him clean up.
When you leave home, you will have nothing."
Gao Yuting's tone was domineering and strong, just like her usual behavior.
"I heard that you and your mother both hold shares in Tengyue Group. Of course, you have to get back what belongs to you. Otherwise, you will be benefiting from those shameless women who are just for money."
Xia Mengying stared at Gao Yuting who frowned, and it was obvious that she was really disgusted with women like Wang Jiazhi.
"Your uncle and I know many top lawyer friends. If you have any trouble, just call me. We will do our best to help wherever we can. We will be a family soon. Don't be polite to us.
Don’t feel embarrassed either.”
If Xia Mengying still doesn't know the purpose of Gao Yuting asking her out, then she is really an idiot. She is just surprised that Gao Yuting actually knows that she is looking for a lawyer.
"Okay, if there is anything you need help from Auntie, I won't be polite."
Xia Mengying smiled and said politely, but she felt exhausted in her heart. She suppressed the pain and discomfort in her heart, fought back the discomfort all over her body, and followed Gao Yuting's wishes, trying her best to chat with her naturally until she answered the phone and left.
She was the only one left in the entire private room, and there was a table full of untouched dishes.
She was lying with her face on the table, her brain was empty, she had no energy at all, her whole body seemed to have lost a layer of skin, she was in pain and weak, she didn't want to move, she didn't have the strength to move, she was hypocritical, tempted, calculating, how could she become like this?
A person? A person who would make me feel disgusted.
Suddenly, I really, really hate myself!
Xia Mengying lay quietly. The mobile phone in her bag dinged a few times, indicating that there was a text message. Xia Mengying did not move. After a while, the mobile phone suddenly rang. She was still lying down, feeling a little strenuous.
He took out his cell phone from his pocket, looked at the word Sun Hui dancing on the screen, sat upright, took a deep breath, patted his face, took a quick drink of water, and answered the phone.
"Uncle Sun."
"I have just sent Ning Ziqian's phone number to your mobile phone."
Is the message just now from Uncle Sun? Is it Ning Ziqian's phone number? Xia Mengying took the phone away from her ear, found the text message column, opened it, looked at the string of numbers on it, and was stunned -
