Fan's mother got the money as she wished and left the city happily. Fan Shengmei let out a long sigh of relief as she watched her parents leave.
However, she frowned again after a while. At the moment, she still had one thing to solve. When she asked Wang Baichuan to borrow money yesterday, although Wang Baichuan didn't ask anything, Fan Shengmei didn't want to hide it anymore.
After all, paper can't cover up the fire. With the situation in her family, she definitely can't hide it.
Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. Rather than continue to cover up and end up with nothing, it is better to take this opportunity to show off with Wang Baichuan.
Having made a decision in her heart, Fan Shengmei immediately took out her mobile phone and called Wang Baichuan.
beep!
beep!
The phone was connected after just two rings. The speed of the call made one wonder if the person on the other end of the line had been waiting on the phone.
Before the other party could speak first, Fan Shengmei got straight to the point.
"Do you have time tonight?"
"Of course, what's the matter, Xiaomei?"
"I want to talk to you."
"Talk... talk?"
Hearing these words, Wang Baichuan couldn't help but feel panicked.
Talk?
What to talk about?
Could it be?
Just as Wang Baichuan was thinking wildly, Fan Shengmei continued.
"Yes, didn't I borrow 20,000 yuan from you yesterday? I just wanted to talk to you about it."
call!
Hearing these words, Wang Baichuan let out a long breath, and the heart that had surged into his throat suddenly returned to its original position.
That's it?
"Xiaomei, it's okay. I believe you. What is our relationship? There is no need to talk about it specifically."
"No, this matter is very important."
Even after talking about this, Fan Shengmei also took the risk.
"Well, I can't explain it clearly on the phone for a while. At 5:30 in the afternoon, I'll wait for you downstairs in the company. We'll talk about it in person."
"good."
At 5:30 in the afternoon, Wang Baichuan came to the downstairs of Fan Shengmei's company as scheduled, and he arrived early. The moment Fan Shengmei's figure appeared in his field of vision, he immediately greeted her.
After picking up Fan Shengmei smoothly, the two drove all the way to a Japanese food store.
On the way to the restaurant, Wang Baichuan kept actively looking for topics to talk about, but Fan Shengmei didn't seem to be in high interest today, and basically agreed with her words.
Just when she was about to get off the car, Fan Shengmei suddenly spoke.
"Bai Chuan, there's something I think I have to tell you."
Seeing Fan Shengmei's very serious look, Wang Baichuan's heart skipped a beat and he forced a smile.
"Xiaomei, how about we chat while eating?"
"No!" Fan Shengmei said stubbornly: "Just say it here."
In fact, Fan Shengmei was afraid that the longer time passed, the less courage she would have to tell Wang Baichuan. From morning to now, she had wanted to retreat more than once. The thought of retreat had occurred several times along the way.
So, she didn't want to wait any longer.
Wang Baichuan continued: "Okay, okay, let's talk about it here."
Next, Fan Shengmei told Wang Baichuan about her family situation without reservation, which lasted for more than half an hour.
During this period, Wang Baichuan said nothing. At first, he was shocked. He did not expect that Fan Shengmei, who had a bright appearance, had such a family. After the shock, he was filled with anger. After all, Fan Shengmei's parents did too much.
A little bit.
There are such parents in the world. Wang Baichuan always thought that this kind of thing would only appear in the news. Who would have thought that there is such an example around him, and this person is also his girlfriend.
Apart from being shocked, angry, and regretful, he was also a little confused.
From the perspective of a bystander, Wang Baichuan was very puzzled. Faced with such a family, why would Fan Shengmei be so accommodating?
It is true that filial piety comes first among all good deeds, but filial piety cannot be ignored.
Fan Shengmei is a typical example of foolish filial piety. The reason why the Fan family has become like this is that although Father Fan, Mother Fan, brother and sister-in-law have unshirkable responsibilities, Xiaomei herself also has problems.
However, Wang Baichuan knew very well that now was not the time to say these words. It would be better to wait until Xiaomei calmed down before mentioning these words.
"Xiaomei, you don't need to say any more. I understand what you mean. You don't have to do these things alone in the future. If you have anything, you can discuss it with me."
These few short sentences were more affectionate than any other confession. Fan Shengmei stared with an expression of disbelief on her face.
"real?"
"Of course, you are my girlfriend, and I will definitely face it with you."
When Fan Shengmei heard this, she hugged Wang Baichuan excitedly, lay on his shoulder and cried loudly.
…
…
…
Huangshan, hot spring hotel.
"Nanny, where are you now? Where is Xie Tong, why didn't I see anyone else?"
Looking at her mother in the video, Guan Ju'er smiled and turned the camera of her phone to take pictures of the surrounding environment.
"Mom, we have arrived in Huangshan. We are in the hotel room now. Xie Tong went to the conference room for a conference call."
Upon hearing that her son-in-law was no longer present, Guan's mother's expression suddenly changed and she asked mysteriously.
"Nanny, have you ever talked to Xie Tong about what mom told you last time? What's his attitude?"
Guan Juer's face suddenly turned red and she said softly: "Mom!"
Mother Guan did not follow this trick and said reluctantly: "Don't interrupt, just tell me quickly."
"I didn't mention it."
"Why didn't you mention it?"
"Mom, we are still young and I don't want to have a baby so early."
Guan Ju'er casually found an excuse to excuse her mother, but how could Guan's mother give up so easily.
"Is it you who doesn't want it, or he who doesn't want it?"
Guan Juer blurted out: "It's me!"
Guan's mother stared at Guan Ju'er suspiciously for a while. Seeing that her daughter didn't look fake, she turned to ask.
"So do you have any plans and when are you going to have a baby?"
"According to mother's wishes, the sooner you have a child, the better. Mother is still young. When you give birth to a child, she can help you take care of it."
Guan Ju'er curled her lips. She didn't believe her mother's lies. She was only in her early fifties this year. Even if it takes another four or five years, she won't reach the retirement age. In modern society, she can't be considered an old person.
"Mom, don't worry, we will definitely give birth to babies before you retire, and there will definitely be more than one."
When she heard the words 'before retirement', Guan's mother immediately became happy.
"good!"
"This is what you said. I'm recording it right now, so you can't go back on it."
Since the first day of marriage, Guan's mother has kept mentioning the matter of "having a grandchild" in Guan Ju'er's ears. Guan Ju'er has been reminded so many times that Guan Ju'er has long been overwhelmed. Anyway, it's not long before her mother retires.
There are still seven or eight years left, so instead of being pushed all the time, it’s better to agree first.
"Well, well, I don't regret it, I don't regret it."
Mother Guan smiled contentedly: "Okay, I'll go back in tomorrow!"
