"Dad, on such a happy day, can you not mention those unpleasant things?" Ma Li said to Mark with a sullen face.
"Don't mention it, don't mention it. My grades were not good when I was in school, but I'm not doing well now." Wang Xiaomi then said to Mark.
In order to help Ma Li speak up, Wang Xiaomi did not hesitate to bring up his own dark history.
In the capital city, he could barely pass a three-level exam, which proves that Wang Xiaomi's grades in every subject were hovering around the passing line.
"Forget it, you and I are different. At least my grades are much better than yours."
Ma Li didn't appreciate Wang Xiaomi's love. She always felt towards Wang Xiaomi like a little girl who had her favorite toy robbed.
Moreover, Wang Xiaomi’s example is indeed not very convincing.
Wang Xiaomi has no pursuit of career at all. Like Mark, he is just lying flat.
"After tidying up, we will start cooking soon. We will have the first meal of the new house at home."
Mark didn't wait for Ma Li to continue poking at Wang Xiaomi's heart.
Wang Xiaomi was definitely not a good-tempered person, and his endurance was actually very limited. He couldn't resist Ma Li's several provocations. If the two of them got into a fight, Mark would be in a very difficult position.
"I'm going to clean up my room and Manao's room."
"Then I'll clean up the master bedroom and study room." Wang Xiaomi said.
"Okay, leave everything to me outside."
There is no conflict in the division of labor between the three of them. It is the first time that they have occupied their own territory.
Although Mark just hired housekeeping to clean it yesterday, it doesn't affect doing it again.
After putting things away, the three of them gathered together to cook.
Mark cooked so quickly that the two of them didn't even have time to start.
Being so busy, there was no time for the two of them to continue bickering, but it looked quite harmonious.
But today I still taught Mark a lesson, if the two of them are still uncomfortable being together.
I'm sure there's no need to bring two people together.
"Lily, did our doorbell ring?"
"It seems to be true."
After Ma Li also heard the doorbell ring, she left the kitchen and went to open the door.
"Why did someone come just after we moved here?" Wang Xiaomi asked.
"Neighbors, there are teachers from our school." Mark replied uncertainly.
Although the neighbors in the building are indifferent, Mark's house is allocated by the school after all.
Not all of them are strangers. Some colleagues saw Mark moving here and it was normal for them to come over and say hello.
When Mark was thinking about which colleague it was, Ma Li's voice came from outside:
"Dad, stop working, my grandma is here."
"Why is your mother here?"
Ling Mingyu came suddenly, and Wang Xiaomi was obviously caught off guard and unprepared.
"I don't know either. I never told her that we were moving today."
Not only did Mark not invite Ling Mingyu, in Mark's impression, Ling Mingyu shouldn't even know about Mark's new house.
"What should I do?" Wang Xiaomi was obviously a little panicked.
"Don't be afraid, my mother doesn't eat people."
Mark comforted Wang Xiaomi, turned down the fire in the kitchen, and left the kitchen with Wang Xiaomi.
After coming out, Mark saw that Ling Mingyu was empty-handed, which was obviously a sign that the visitor was evil.
Otherwise, I am helping people warm the house, so why would I buy something, even if it means at least carrying a fruit basket?
"Grandma, come and see my room. Now Manao has his own room."
Ma Li took Ling Mingyu and was about to go to Ma Li's room.
"We'll see you later. I'll see your dad first. He won't be back even during the New Year. If I don't come to see her, I'm afraid he will forget that he has a mother."
Ling Mingyu spoke to Ma Li with a strange yin and yang aura.
Although in previous years, Mark would take his family to spend New Year's Day with Ling Mingyu.
But this year's situation has long been different from the past, and naturally it cannot be the same as before.
"I'm busy moving, so I don't have time."
Mark did not expose the broken relationship between the two people, and explained it in a coping manner.
"Auntie." Wang Xiaomi greeted Ling Mingyu.
"Why is she here too?"
Ling Mingyu's face was already dark, but when she saw Wang Xiaomi, her face became even darker.
Mark and Wang Xiaomi are together. From a normal perspective, Mark gets the advantage. After all, youth is priceless.
But Ling Mingyu's face looked even worse than when Wang Lanfang saw Mark.
Basic politeness and coping style responses are not acceptable at all.
From this point of view, we know that Ling Mingyu's mother is more difficult to deal with than Wang Xiaomi's mother.
"There was a lot of moving work, so I called Xiaomi to come over and help. Thanks to Xiaomi, otherwise I wouldn't be able to finish everything now."
"If you can't finish it, why don't you take it easy? What's her identity? You just brought her home."
Ling Mingyu was just deliberately looking for trouble. She knew Wang Xiaomi was Mark's girlfriend and wanted to embarrass Wang Xiaomi.
"Wang Xiaomi is my girlfriend. Isn't it normal for her to come home with me? It's not like we want to have a date, or she's staying here."
Mark took Wang Xiaomi's hand and said.
If Ling Mingyu has this attitude, Mark must give Wang Xiaomi absolute support.
"Did I admit that she is your girlfriend?"
"Does it matter whether you admit it or not? Who is my girlfriend? I just have to admit it myself. I have never heard of someone other than myself having to admit this kind of thing."
Fortunately, this is at Mark's house. I feel like it would be better if I took Wang Xiaomi to the courtyard house.
Wang Xiaomi, like Mark, had to be kicked out of his home.
"Mark, it's such a big holiday, you have to make me angry, don't you?"
"Why am I trying to make you angry? Isn't this a big holiday and you have to find trouble yourself?"
Mark replied to Ling Mingyu.
"You don't even want your mother just because of this little goblin?" Ling Mingyu pointed at Wang Xiaomi and said.
"Don't think that young people are little goblins. What's wrong with you old people? You can't see others being young..."
Mark’s scumbag father really poisoned Mark for decades.
"Dad, isn't the kitchen still cooking? Go back and have a look. I'll just take grandma to visit."
Seeing that the two people were getting angry and their words were getting worse and worse, Ma Li tried to smooth things over and pulled Ling Mingyu into the room.
"Second uncle, am I that bad? Your mother is so hostile to me."
After being dragged back to the kitchen by Mark, Wang Xiaomi was also very angry and distressed.
If it wasn't for Mark's sake, Mark wouldn't be surprised if Wang Xiaomi directly fought with Ling Mingyu.
"This has nothing to do with you, this is an issue between me and her."
Mark said helplessly.
Ling Mingyu's targeting of Wang Xiaomi had nothing to do with Wang Xiaomi himself. It was just because Wang Xiaomi was Mark's girlfriend, and it was simply because of her views on the matter that she implicated him personally.
Because he missed the field, he didn’t want Mark to find any woman.
If you don't even understand, you just find faults.
After over and over again, I can only pick Wang Xiaomi Young, and the objection is groundless.
Compared with Wang Lanfang, he is really unreasonable.
"Do you have such a bad relationship with your mother? I've never heard you talk to Lily before."
If Wang Xiaomi heard Ma Li talk about Ling Mingyu.
Hearings and seeing them in person are simply not the same thing.
"It has only recently become like this."
"Second uncle, why don't I leave first." Wang Xiaomi obviously didn't want Mark to be in trouble.
"Why are you leaving? Doesn't it mean that we are afraid if you leave? We will have to face this kind of thing sooner or later."
This is not Mark Archfire.
Mark's own home is the most suitable place to talk about this matter.
It won't be an away game like it is in the courtyard, and it won't be embarrassing if it's noisy like outside.
"Then how are we going to eat later? Do you think your mother is willing to sit down and eat with me?"
"We'll talk about it later. Maybe when we go out soon, the old lady will leave." Mark said expectantly.
Ling Mingyu is not a person who knows how to tolerate and accept compromises. It is normal for her to be unhappy in Mark's new house and leave immediately.
"Dad, my grandma is in my room. She asked you to come over."
After a while, Ma Li came into the kitchen and said.
"You haven't left yet?"
"I'm not leaving. I'm waiting to settle the score with you."
"How did your grandma know the address of our new house?"
"Didn't you ask me to give him the welfare from the school yesterday? How could she not ask if we don't go back to grandma's house on New Year's Day?"
Ma Li's meaning is obvious, it was Ma Li who exposed it to Mark.
At the beginning, Mark could also ask Ma Li to help keep it a secret.
Now that they are all moving here, there is no way Mark can tell Ma Li not to share his home address with others.
There is no reason to tell Ling Mingyu where he lives.
"I shouldn't have let you go yesterday. You told your grandma, why didn't you tell me?"
It is actually normal to send Ling Mingyu a copy of whatever the school issues.
The key is that Ma Li tricked Mark.
If Ma Li talks to Mark, Mark will at least be mentally prepared.
Knowing such a big event, Ling Mingyu would probably come uninvited.
It is very likely that Wang Xiaomi will not choose to come to the house to help today.
"I didn't expect you to bring this person here." Ma Li glanced at Wang Xiaomi.
"Lily, dad can only tell you that your guitar has gone far away from you."
Mark said to Mary that this was the result of air leakage in the little cotton-padded jacket.
"What do you want to say to me?"
After entering, Mark pulled up a stool and sat down, and asked Ling Mingyu who was sitting on Ma Li's bed.
"When did you buy the house?"
"This is a long time, more than half a year."
"Where did you get the money to buy a house?"
Ling Mingyu actually knew Mark's financial situation very well, otherwise she wouldn't have always disliked Mark for being hopeless and having a bad attitude towards life.
"Won the lottery."
"Who are you fooling? You can't even win a drink. You win the lottery just because you say you won. Let me see if you win another one."
Where did this money come from? It's rare that Mark didn't deceive others, but Ling Mingyu still didn't believe it.
"Then where do you think I got the money?" Mark asked Ling Mingyu.
"You spent your and Tianye's savings."
"Have you taken a good look at my house? Are the savings that Tianye and I have enough to buy a toilet in this house?"
No matter how out of touch with society, people will not understand housing prices.
"Then you won the lottery, why didn't you tell me?"
"I'm not a child, so I'm telling you everything. So what if I win or not? Aren't my days the same?" Mark said perfunctorily.
There will definitely be a difference if you say it, Ling Mingyu will tell Tian Tian.
Mark, who is rich, can let Ye Tian change his lifestyle without getting divorced.
In this way, Mark's risk of marrying a young girl would be much greater.
"Mark, you have really grown up and your wings have hardened. You don't tell me anything anymore. You don't tell me about your divorce, you don't tell me about winning the lottery, and you don't tell me about buying a house. Am I still your mother?
What else can I know about you?"
"What's the use of letting you know? You know I have a girlfriend. Do you support me?"
When Ling Mingyu said this, Mark felt that everything he did not tell Ling Mingyu was handled smoothly.
There will be twists and turns after you say it. Saying nothing is the right choice.
"How do you ask me to support you? If you have money, you will become evil. If you have two dollars, you will divorce and find such a little devil. What is the difference between you and those ungrateful, scumbags who like the new and dislike the old?"
"Don't blame me randomly. I only got rich after getting divorced. I didn't get divorced after getting rich. It was Ye Ye who wanted to divorce me, not me who proposed the divorce. Being ungrateful and hating the old has nothing to do with me."
Ling Mingyu never wanted Mark to order well, and there was no pressure to throw any pot on Mark's head.
"It doesn't make any difference. It doesn't matter if you live in such a big house and your ex-wife and your son live in such a big apartment."
We also know the apartment where Tian Ye and Manao live, so there is no doubt that Ling Mingyu must have been there.
Ling Mingyu came to Mark's house twice in more than half a year.
There will definitely be more than two visits to Tianye's apartment.
"Tian Ye is already my ex-wife, and her living in an apartment or a villa has nothing to do with me. As for Manao, I didn't ignore him. Didn't you see that I reserved a room for Manao?"
Although he only left the smallest room in the house, Mark left it to Manao.
But this is the position of younger brothers in Manao's family, and the arrangements are the same for every family.
They are all arranged in the same age range from oldest to youngest.
And the room is not small at all, at least it is bigger than the rooms Ma Li and Manao had in their original house.
"Now that you have this new house, what will you do with your original house?"
"You can do whatever you want. If you want to live there, you can live there. I have no objection."
Although Ling Mingyu's courtyard house is a good place to live, most people of Ling Mingyu's generation want to live in a building the most.
Although Ling Mingyu's courtyard house has been well decorated and renovated, the courtyard house can renovate its own yard, but not the alley.
If the location is not facing the street, the basic aspects of a courtyard house are still incomparable to those of a building.
Even if the courtyard has a courtyard, it still has a down-to-earth atmosphere.
Compared with living in a building, there are still advantages to each other, but there is no absolute advantage.
"I have a place to go, and you have moved here. Why should I move to your house?"
It seems that Ling Mingyu really has some thoughts about living with Mark.
This was quite a scary thing, although Mark had no objection to living with his parents.
But Mark and Ling Mingyu have different temperaments and concepts.
There was no basis for living together, and Mark didn't even dare to be polite.
"Then why are you asking this? If not, just leave it empty for now. It's okay to go back and live there occasionally."
"I mean you give this house to Tianye and Manao."
"Don't you know that Tianye is the big boss now? How can you afford a house like this?"
