After breakfast, Peng Yuanzheng and Feng Qianru walked with Mrs. Feng for half an hour. ([] ) After that, Mrs. Feng left by car and returned to Dahongmen. Although she claimed to stay out for a few days, she
After all, Mr. Feng still needs someone to take care of his life, so she still can't worry about it.
Peng Yuanzheng wanted to go to Dahongmen to greet his grandfather, but later he heard from the old lady that Mr. Feng was busy with state affairs recently and had major foreign affairs activities one after another, so he gave up the idea and asked the old lady to ask how the old man was doing.
After seeing off Mrs. Feng, Peng Yuanzheng and Feng Qianru were not idle at home. Peng Yuanzheng personally drove Feng Qianru to the company and handled some business matters.
Xinyu Group is now bigger and on the right track of rapid development. As the president of the group, Feng Qianru has an easier time than when she first started her business, because she has several highly paid professional managers under her and a team of nearly a hundred people.
The middle and senior management teams are operating efficiently.
She is only responsible for major decisions, and daily management no longer requires her to do it herself.
At around ten o'clock in the morning, the two left Xinyu Group and went to the largest shopping mall in the city to hang out. Feng Qianru was going to the United States and needed to buy some daily necessities and personal clothes. Of course, shopping was secondary, and the main thing was to kill time in the world of the two of them.
At the same time, Meng Lin received a call in the Feng family villa.
"Is this Aunt Meng Lin's house?" The female voice on the other end of the phone was soft and reserved.
Meng Lin raised her eyebrows, feeling that the voice sounded familiar. She immediately reacted and said hesitantly: "Are you... Xiaoying? Cao Ying?"
"Yes, Aunt Meng. I'm Xiaoying." Cao Ying was slightly excited when she heard that Meng Lin recognized her voice.
"Xiaoying, it was you when I heard it! You kid, I haven't seen you for a long time. Are you calling me from Xin'an?" Meng Lin smiled and talked to Cao Ying, and immediately realized that something was wrong. What about Cao Ying?
Do you know your phone number at Feng's house?
"Aunt Meng. I'm in the capital. I happened to be on a business trip. I took a train with Peng Yuanzheng yesterday. I didn't have anything to do today, so I just gave you a call to say hello. I haven't seen Aunt Meng for a long time." Cao Yingrou.
She spoke softly. She was very familiar with Meng Lin. It could even be said that they had a good relationship.
Because of Peng Yuanzheng, Cao Ying has always been close to Meng Lin. And for so many years, Meng Lin has always regarded Cao Ying as his daughter.
However, due to some combination of circumstances, her son and Cao Ying did not get together. Now that they have reached this point, Meng Lin is helpless. Fortunately, her son and Qianru are a better match and have a better relationship, which has somewhat made up for the loss in her heart.
.
Meng Lin and Cao Ying talked passionately on the phone for a while. After hesitating for a moment, he invited Cao Ying to come and sit at home. Cao Ying declined a few words, but couldn't bear Meng Lin's enthusiasm, so she agreed.
In fact, she also wanted to come and see Meng Lin. She was a kind and gentle girl, and she did not change her attitude towards Meng Lin because her relationship with Peng Yuanzheng came to nothing.
Cao Ying took a taxi to the community where the Feng family villa was located. Standing in front of the courtyard of this conjoined villa that was not luxurious but elegant, she was filled with emotions. She finally understood the distance between herself and Peng Yuanzheng.
.
She hesitated for a long time before going forward and ringing the doorbell.
Meng Lin hurriedly walked out and said with a smile from afar: "Xiaoying! You are here, come in quickly!"
"Hello Aunt Meng!" Cao Ying's pretty face blushed slightly and she also greeted her.
Seeing Cao Ying holding a large bag of gifts in her hand, Meng Lin couldn't help but frown and said, "Look at you kid! Come on, why are you buying so many things? What a waste of money!"
Seeing that Meng Lin was as enthusiastic and caring towards her as ever, with no change in his attitude, Cao Ying felt relieved and moved from the bottom of her heart.
Meng Lin took Cao Ying into the living room of the Feng family villa, walked through the long corridor, turned into the "half area" belonging to Meng Lin's mother and son, and sat down in the living room on the first floor.
"Xiaoying, wait a minute, I'll get you a glass of water."
"Aunt Meng, please stop being busy. I'm not thirsty."
"How can you come to Aunt Meng's place without even drinking a glass of water? You can sit wherever you like and I'll be here right away!"
Meng Lin went to pour water. Cao Ying looked up from her seat on the sofa and saw a huge photo hanging on the background wall of the living room, a photo of an old man and Meng Lin's mother and son.
Just at this glance, her eyes suddenly focused: Isn't that energetic old man in the group photo the same old man who often appears on TV, Mr. Feng from the central government? That founding father who is more powerful than ten thousand people, controls a big country.
Destiny's central political figure!
The corner of Cao Ying's mouth trembled. She finally understood that Peng Yuanzheng turned out to be the grandson of the Feng family! This "wild boy" from a single-parent family that her parents had always looked down on, a commoner, turned out to be the third-generation prince of a wealthy family in the capital!
Cao Ying stood there infatuatedly, staring at Mr. Feng in the group photo, and was silent for a long time. At this moment, the huge stone that was weighing on her heart seemed to have been lifted away. She guessed Peng Yuanzheng's true life experience and understood the two sides.
The huge gap between people actually made her feel a little more relaxed.
Even without the "snobbery" and rejection of his parents, it would be difficult for him and Peng Yuanzheng to get together... It's all fate, fate has its way!
Cao Ying felt a burst of sadness, her eyes were red, she lowered her head and was about to wipe away her tears, but Meng Lin hugged her sadly, comforting her softly: "Good boy, don't be sad. Although you and Yuan Zheng cannot be husband and wife,
But Aunt Meng always treats you as her daughter!"
"Aunt Meng!" Cao Ying threw herself into Meng Lin's arms and burst into tears. Meng Lin also wiped away a lot of tears. To be honest, she liked Cao Ying very much and thought this girl was kind, sensible and generous.
, is a typical good wife and mother. If her fate had not reached another turning point later, and if Cao Ying's parents had not obstructed her in every possible way, it would not have been impossible for Cao Ying to marry her son and have children. She would also be happy to see it.
However, everything is empty talk now. Not to mention that her son already has Qianru - even without Qianru, based on her understanding of Mr. and Mrs. Feng, it is basically impossible for Cao Ying of her background to marry into the Feng family.
It's possible. Especially the character of Cao Ying's parents is the type that Mr. Feng deeply hates.
Without Feng Qianru's presence, there is no doubt that the Feng family would have arranged a political marriage for Peng Yuanzheng.
Meng Lin stayed with Cao Ying for lunch, and the two spent several hours together. At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Cao Ying left and returned to the hotel where she was staying. Meng Lin did not try to persuade her to stay, but just asked the Feng family's driver to drive Cao Ying back.
urban area.
Peng Yuanzheng and Feng Qianru came back. Peng Yuanzheng accidentally noticed that something was wrong with his mother's expression. There was a faint sadness between his eyebrows, and he was startled.
Feng Qianru was a little tired after shopping all day, so she lay down to rest and fell asleep. When Peng Yuanzheng saw his wife asleep, he quietly went out to his mother's room.
"Mom, are you feeling unwell?" Peng Yuanzheng walked over, stood behind Meng Lin as usual and massaged her shoulders.
Meng Lin let out a long sigh, "Son, Mom is fine. Mom just feels uncomfortable. Just now, Xiaoying came."
Peng Yuanzheng's expression froze, and his men stopped.
Meng Lin turned back to look at his son and sighed: "Son, Xiaoying is such a good child, but it's a pity that you two are not destined to be together! Mom, seeing her so thin and haggard today, really felt heartbroken."
Peng Yuanzheng knew that his mother had a good relationship with Cao Ying, so he remained silent and continued to massage his mother's shoulders.
"Son, mom wants to recognize Xiaoying as her goddaughter... do you think so?" Meng Lin was silent for a moment and then said softly.
She had this idea when she saw Cao Ying again, but she was a little worried - because her identity was different now, she was the daughter-in-law of the Feng family, and she couldn't just recognize her as her goddaughter.
Therefore, I must seek my son’s opinion.
Peng Yuanzheng raised his eyebrows, hesitated for a moment and then said firmly: "Mom, let's say goodbye - I don't have any objections, but it can't be justified by my grandparents and uncle. We understand Cao Ying, but our family may not necessarily approve."
"Besides, with the way her parents are, if they recognize their godson... they will cause trouble for the family!"
Meng Lin let out a long sigh, knowing that this would be the result. She was speechless when her son objected to the statement.
Peng Yuanzheng's words were still very tactful. If Feng Botao knew about this, he would definitely object. A family like the Feng family basically would not recognize relatives - even if they did, it should at least be of the Hou family's level.
Family Meng Lin is no longer the accountant Meng Lin of Xin'an Machinery Factory in the past, but Meng Lin, the second daughter-in-law of the Feng family. She can represent the Feng family when she goes out. Her goddaughter must not be recognized at will.
Even if the consent of Mr. and Mrs. Feng is not obtained, the permission of the second-generation eldest son Feng Botao is still required.
After thinking about it, Meng Lin grabbed his son's arm and whispered: "Son, please help Xiaoying. Although you can't become husband and wife, you should still be good friends! Help her adjust her work and find a better unit for her.
!”
Meng Lin's expression was a little anxious. Seeing his mother like this, Peng Yuanzheng became aware that in his mother's heart, Cao Ying, who had been getting along well with her for many years and had been treating her as a daughter, had a high status. You must know that in the past, mothers and children were dependent on each other.
During the difficult years, Cao Ying's understanding and gentleness brought her mother a considerable degree of spiritual comfort. Meng Lin had always looked forward to making Cao Ying his daughter-in-law.
Peng Yuanzheng sighed and smiled bitterly: "Mom, as a deputy county-level cadre, what can I do to help her? Besides, her father is a deputy department-level cadre. Their family is also a cadre family in Xin'an, and her unit is already very good -
—She is now in the Education Bureau and has become the deputy section chief."
"Forget it, everyone has his own life...Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, mom is going to cook!" Meng Lin sighed, and when he saw his son being so considerate and filial, his mood gradually became cheerful.
"Mom, if you have a nanny at home, don't work so hard..." Peng Yuanzheng persuaded with a smile.
Meng Lin smiled bitterly: "Mom, can you still be idle all day? You can get sick even if you are idle all day!"
