Wang Lingzhi took a taxi back to the compound where he lived. The taxi registered the number plate before entering the compound and sent him to the downstairs of his house. He asked the driver to wait while he went upstairs.
Climbing to the unit building where he lived, Wang Lingzhi opened the door and saw that the guest room was empty. He heard rustling sounds coming from his daughter's bedroom. He hurriedly ran to take a look. He saw his wife rummaging through boxes and cabinets, making a mess, and shouted loudly.
Scold: "What are you doing?"
A sudden shout made Ma Mengting almost jump up in fright. When she turned around and saw Wang Er, she scolded him in a sharper voice: "Are you blind? You didn't see that I was helping Yuxuan find clothes. She was taken away.
Always give her something."
"Stop looking, follow me to my mother's place and ask her to go to Yan Xing to intercede. As long as Yan Xing doesn't pursue it, Yuxuan can come back the same day she goes in." Wang Lingzhi didn't think too much.
, turned around and left.
"...I'm going to wash my face and change my clothes." When she heard that she was going to her daughter's grandparents' place, Ma Mengting subconsciously wanted to object but said no. She reacted quickly and agreed.
Wang Er's father has never looked at her in the eyes. They used to live together, and she was criticized for being submissive and submissive. After finally living separately, she became the master. In order not to be angry with her father-in-law for nothing, she would not return home under normal circumstances.
It would be boring to go to her parents-in-law's house. If she didn't go at this time, it would be easier for people to accuse her of being cruel and not even caring about her daughter. Even if she didn't like her daughter-in-law, she still had to go to her father-in-law's house for a formality.
"Why wash your face? It's better to just go like this. When you see my mother, you can cry as much as you want. My mother loves Yuxuan the most. She usually doesn't want Yuxuan to be wronged, let alone let Yuxuan stay in that kind of situation.
place."
Wang Lingzhi glanced at Ma Mengting and thought it was good. Ma Mengting was wearing ordinary home clothes, her hair was messed up, her makeup was messed up, and she looked very embarrassed. Only by being miserable can you show your misery, and it can also arouse his old age.
Damn sympathy.
Ma Mengting understood, and she did it casually. She only took her handbag, no makeup or face wash, followed Wang Lingzhi downstairs with a pair of slippers, and got into the rental car.
The taxi waiting for the guests pulled up, left the compound, and went straight to the designated place. When the retired dignitaries lived in the compound, the taxi could not enter and parked outside the door.
Mr. and Mrs. Wang Lingzhi, Ma Mengting and others hurriedly entered the compound and almost reached the place where the Wang family lived. They ran for a while until they were out of breath. They knocked on the door and shouted: "Mom, Mom"
The nanny hurriedly opened the door when she heard the knock on the door. She saw it was the second master and the second wife, especially the second wife's face covered with scars. She was startled and hurriedly let people into the living room.
"Mom, Mom, save Yuxuan," Ma Mengting howled as she walked.
"Second wife, the old lady is out." The nanny was frightened by the second wife's cry.
"Out...out?" Ma Mengting's howl suddenly stopped, she was terribly embarrassed.
"Yes, the old lady answered the phone and went out. Second madam, I'll get you water. You wash your face first." The nanny was also a little embarrassed and hurriedly found something to do.
Wang Lingzhi originally wanted to ask the nanny not to fetch water to wash Ma Mengting's face, but he felt that doing so was too obvious, so he did not stop him and took Ma Mengting into the place where her parents lived to wait.
The nanny gave the second wife some warm water to wash her face, and brought fruits and candies to the second master and his wife.
The things in the old man's house were all high-end goods. Ma Mengting hadn't eaten yet and her stomach was a little empty, so she started eating without ceremony, picking out the most expensive things and stuffing them into her mouth, as if she was afraid of losing money.
Wang Lingzhi ate most of his lunch and was not hungry. He was thinking about the dirty money his daughter had transferred for Zhao Zongze and had no intention of eating. He eagerly waited for news about his mother.
There are many courtyards in the capital, and there are not ten but eight courtyards where senior cadres live. Mrs. Wang took a taxi directly to the official courtyard where Mr. Chao lived. When she got to the door, she walked to the door and asked the guard where Mr. Chao lived.
Which room is in the building and how to get there.
Following the guard's instructions, I entered the hospital and asked for directions. It took some effort to find the place where Mr. Chao lived. The small single-family building looked lively, clean and beautiful under the sunlight.
Mrs. Wang walked towards the small building, and when she got closer, she found that the door of the small building was open, and there was soft music coming from the room. It was not a record, but pure music, with a gentle and gentle melody.
She walked to the door and looked inside. The furniture was neatly arranged and spotlessly clean. The light-colored curtains and light-colored furniture made people very comfortable.
There is a mat spread in the relatively spacious area near the window of the living room. Two ladies in white exercise clothes are practicing yoga. To the rhythm of light music, every movement is very graceful.
Probably hearing the sound of high heels approaching, the two ladies who were practicing yoga for the elderly turned and looked at the door. They were slightly surprised to see an elderly lady wearing a skirt.
"Hello, who are you looking for?" Aunt Ge saw a guest coming, but before she could see her face clearly, she ended her yoga and politely got up to receive the guest.
Old Mrs. Chao has already recognized who the guest is. From her angle, she can just see most of the face of the guest at the door, but... what is she here for?
Seeing the visitor, Mrs. Chao was not happy at all. She finished an exercise in a leisurely manner, then calmly stretched her hands and feet, preparing to end the exercise.
"I am the mother of the mayor of Beijing City, and I am here to visit Mr. Chao and Mrs. Chao." When Mrs. Wang saw the middle-aged and elderly ladies who had finished yoga first, she announced her home address.
"It's Mrs. Wang, please come in," Aunt Ge suddenly realized. She looked at the guests and spoke to the old lady with a smile: "Old lady, Mrs. Wang is here."
"Old Mrs. Chao is at home. She also practices yoga. Her body is really soft." Mrs. Wang is familiar with her. She took the initiative to get close to her as she entered Chao's house.
"Excellent. We little people just practice yoga and move around. Mrs. Wang, like Mrs. Wang, runs around at the banquets of the upper-class dignitaries every day. She can increase her knowledge and exercise. There is no need to do these small exercises.
It’s hard for Mrs. Wang,
Today, someone actually condescended to visit a small family like our old Chao family." Old Mrs. Chao stood up unhurriedly, took the towel in the bamboo basket on the small bench aside and hung it on her face.
He shook his hand and replied with a smile.
Because the old lady of the Wang family is the wife of a ministerial cadre, her eyes have always been at the top of her brain. Even after Mr. Wang retired, she still loves face. She always waits for others to come to her home to praise her. Generally, she will not go to other people's houses until she receives a message.
, afraid of lowering her style and status.
She would go to the Eight Treasures Hall for nothing. The old lady of the Wang family had never taken the initiative to interact with the Chao family. However, she suddenly "visited" today. She most likely had some intentions, and they must be self-interested.
She didn't like the old lady of the Wang family, especially when she brought the granddaughter of the Wang family and her surname was Zhao at the old man's banquet last year. Old lady Chao was also a vengeful person. She was not prepared to give more face, and she was sarcastic and sarcastic.
.
Old Mrs. Wang was so angry that her master choked her, but she wanted to ask for help. She didn't want to return in vain, let alone follow in the footsteps of the He family again. She pretended that she didn't hear the sarcasm: "Old Mrs. Chao is joking, so do I.
She is just an old lady with long head but short knowledge, so please don’t blame me for the things I offended in the past.”
"Some things can be treated as if they have never happened. There are some principled things that I cannot forget." Mrs. Chao didn't want to be kidnapped by morality. She put a towel around her neck and casually walked to the sofa and sat down first. This is the most representative thing.
The host casually greeted the uninvited guest who came to the house without a reservation or a phone call: "Mrs. Wang, please take a seat."
The old lady of the Chao family obviously didn't want to see her, and the old lady Wang was ashamed and angry because she was under someone else's roof. She couldn't help but shame her master, so she walked over and sat down.
After getting up, Aunt Ge went to wash her hands, poured tea for the old lady of the Wang family, then brought some pumpkin seeds and dried dates, opened the refrigerator, cut the iced watermelon into four small pieces, and put it on the small coffee table to entertain the guests.
Gemei helped make tea, and Mrs. Chao took the tea and politely greeted the guests to drink tea and take a few sips.
Mrs. Wang drank her tea patiently, and after holding it in for a while, she asked politely: "Isn't Mr. Chao at home?"
"My old man went to the institute to give lectures to a group of students. What does Mrs. Wang have to do with my old man? My old man is a poor intellectual. He has no power and no money. He is rigid and stubborn and does not know how to adapt. Mrs. Wang specially
If you come to my house to find my old man, your trip must have been in vain."
The words of the old lady of the Chao family were stinging, and the old lady of the Wang family felt very uncomfortable: "Mrs. Chao, what happened last year was my family's fault. My Wang family was also deceived by Zhao Zongze. I didn't know what kind of person Zhao Zongze was, let alone what he intended to do to me.
The little girl from the Chao family has no
Li, now my granddaughter has broken up with Zhao Zongze, and my eldest son and the uncle of the Chao family are also colleagues. At least we have some old feelings for the older generation. I also hope that Mrs. Chao will stop caring about the Wang family because she didn’t make trouble because of her acquaintance.
It was a little unpleasant."
"I remember that Mrs. Wang didn't have such a tone at my wife's birthday party last year. I'm a small-minded person. I only know who made me feel uncomfortable. I can't dress too generously. Mrs. Wang came to my house.
If you have something to say, you might as well open the window and speak openly, and ramble on about old stories. With my temper, I might end up serving tea to see guests off because I didn't make sense of what I said."
Old Mrs. Chao laughed meaningfully. The old Mrs. Wang's family was really... extremely shameless. She was very fond of Zhao Zongze in the past, and even took her to various places to brush her face. Later, the little fan dumpling stepped on Zhao Zongze's face in front of him.
, Zhao Zongze lost power, the Wang family immediately crossed the river and demolished the bridge, sacrificing Zhao Zongze like that. Such a ruthless and unjust family, the Lao Chao family would not dare to be friends.
"You..." The old lady of the Chao family almost said, "I don't agree with you." Old lady Wang couldn't keep her face straight. She raised her buttocks and wanted to get rid of him. She immediately forced herself to calm down and said in embarrassment.
Fake smile: "Old Mrs. Chao
You are really straightforward. You are a straight-tempered person, and I am also straight-tempered. I came... I want to meet the youngest girl of the Chao family. My old man is not feeling well and was hospitalized yesterday. I am anxious and want to ask the little girl to help my old man.
Diagnosis."
"Oh, Mrs. Wang is looking for my little Lele," Mrs. Chao smiled brightly and said meaningfully, then her smile faded: "My old man, I, and my sons don't care about my little Lele's affairs.
No matter who she treats or performs surgery on, it all depends on her own wishes. We elders never help her make the decision. Mrs. Wang came to me to ask my little Lele to see a doctor and she went to the wrong place.
.”
Old Mrs. Wang was disgraced by the blunt rejection, but she was unwilling to give up, so she put all her face aside and said, "Can Old Mrs. Chao please call the little girl and say a few words of kindness? Please help me."
My old man is going to see a doctor. One day, the boss and I will bring a big gift and apologize to the little girl for what happened last year."
"I will not help anyone seek medical treatment from my little Lele. I am a grandmother-level elder. I will not do anything to embarrass my grandchildren. Mrs. Wang knows that my little Lele cannot tolerate dirt in her eyes. You
I also know where my Jia Lele is now.
, you don’t dare to force others to make things difficult, but you come to my house and ask me to call Lele to help you put in a good word. Isn’t this deliberately destroying the relationship between me and my little granddaughter? It’s a shame that only Mrs. Wang can think of this kind of thing. Others
It probably can’t be done.”
Old Mrs. Chao sneered: "Old Mrs. Wang, to be honest, for the sake of Mayor Wang, I reluctantly gave you face and let you into my house. If it weren't for the sake of Mayor Wang being a sensible person,
, just because you caused trouble in my house last year, I wouldn’t even let you in, I would just blast you out with a broom and your shoes.”
"You... you think I want to come. If you didn't have a step-granddaughter who knows medical skills, I wouldn't even urinate in your house." Old Mrs. Wang became angry and stood up, with a flushed face,
He threw him away angrily.
"It's easy to leave." Mrs. Chao said in a funny way. If Mrs. Wang was really arrogant, she would never have entered the Chao family before. She didn't get what she wanted and pretended to be arrogant. Who could show it to her?
She just took it as a joke and didn't care whether the old lady of the Wang family was so angry that her head was smoking. She immediately took out her mobile phone from the small drawer under the table and called Chao Yi. When the call was connected, she smiled.
He said: "Boss, let me tell you something. Mayor Wang's mother came to see your father and me.
, let’s not talk about it for more than a few words. Now she left in a rage. Could you tell Mayor Wang and ask him to send a car to pick up the old lady or inform Mr. Wang to ask the nanny to come and look for her on the road? God.
It’s a bit hot, and Mrs. Wang is so angry. It wouldn’t be good if she gets a heat stroke on the way.”
Before Mrs. Wang could reach the door, she heard Mrs. Chao calling Uncle Chao to inform her boss. She felt inexplicably panic. She didn't tell the boss when she came. If she invited the little righteous grandson of the Chao family to see the old man,
, I think the boss and the old man will no longer care about how she invited people. Now that she has not invited anyone, the boss must think that she is embarrassing them and his son again.
When Mrs. Chao's words reached her ears, she felt panicked, as if the sky was falling. She felt like she had nowhere to escape, and she felt like she was walking in the desert and couldn't find the way, and her mind was full of confusion.
She was so panicked that she accidentally kicked the shoe rack at the door. At that moment, Mrs. Wang realized that she had made a mistake, lowered her head, and walked out of Chao's house as if running away. She didn't even dare to look back and hurried out of the courtyard.
.
Chao Yi was at work when he received a call from his mother. He was really startled. His parents were what the old man said: "No matter what happens, they go to the Eight Treasures Palace." If there was no urgent matter, their parents would never come during his working hours. If you call him, you usually have to wait until after get off work hours to call him. It must be urgent to call him during work hours.
He was nervous, and he was thinking about it when he answered the phone. When he heard that the old lady from Mayor Wang's family had gone to his house, he looked dumbfounded at that time. Even if Mr. Wang is in a high position, the Wang family and the
The Chao family were both officials in the capital and actually had little contact with each other.
Our family never holds any banquets, so we don’t treat guests. There are posts in the Wang family where he and his third son went, so basically it can be said that the old man and his wife, Mr. Wang and his wife, have never visited each other. If they ever meet, it is only in the presence of other people.
at the banquet.
The older generation of the Wang family and the Chao family have no personal relationship and do not move around each other. Today, Mrs. Wang went to the Chao family to find their mother-in-law. The news was like a bomb, and it blew up Chao Yi and the other elders.
I was completely confused and couldn't figure out which part of Mrs. Wang's fault was wrong.
Even though he was confused, he didn't ask Old Mrs. Wang what she was doing at home. His mother didn't say anything, so maybe Old Mrs. Wang wasn't far away. Chao Yi agreed, and after hanging up the phone, he decisively called Wang Shi.
Mayor, let Mayor Wang take care of the Wang family's affairs himself.
Mayor Wang felt very depressed because his father was hospitalized and his niece was taken away. After lunch, he took the time to deal with the work. He hoped to finish the official business as soon as possible and have time to go to the court. He was busy receiving a call from Secretary Chao.
I thought it was an emergency meeting within the party or something.
As a result, he heard that his mother went to Chao's house to find Mrs. Chao, and even slammed the door and left because of her disapproval. He was so angry that he didn't ask his mother to take care of him as much as other mothers.
Mother, please don't cause trouble for him. Now I realize that even that request is an extravagant wish.
There was no one to talk about when he had difficulties. Mayor Wang felt sad in his heart. Fortunately, Secretary Chao did not blame him. Instead, he was worried that the old lady would not be safe on the road, so he asked him to call a nanny or contact someone to keep an eye on him secretly. Regarding the Chao family's clear-mindedness, he felt deeply
After being grateful, he finished the phone call with Secretary Chao, called his parents' nanny, asked the nanny to contact his old mother, and then ignored him.
After receiving Mayor Wang's instructions, the nanny hurriedly called Mrs. Wang. When the call was connected, she hurriedly explained the situation: "Old lady, where are you always? The second master and the second wife are back, waiting for you.
…”
Mrs. Wang received a call before she left the compound where the Chao family lived. She thought it was her eldest son's call and was about to hang up. Now she answered the call at home. When the nanny said that her youngest son came home to look for her, she felt even more depressed and confused.
He responded vaguely and ended the call.
The sun was a little hot. When she walked out of the compound and saw cars coming and going on the road outside, Mrs. Wang felt empty in her heart. She suddenly didn't know where to go. When her old man was in office, she didn't help her natal family much, and her natal family was not close to her.
, and her parents have long since disappeared, and the younger generations of her family have not benefited from her and have little contact with her. There is no way to go back to her family.
Now she realizes that she has nowhere to go except her home with the old man.
The more she thought about it, the sadder Mrs. Wang became. She stood alone for a long time and finally took a taxi home.
