"Brother Jian." Shi Xuexian immediately moved up to him and hugged his arm tenderly: "I heard that you were eating here, so I wanted to rush over. Let's treat Miss Meng to a meal together as a family."

Lu Jian didn't expect Shi Xuexian to come over. She looked a little unnatural. She took her hand out of her arms and said in a low voice: "Her mother and I are celebrating Yanyan's dinner today. What are you doing here?"

"I...I'm also here to celebrate Yanyan."

"Go back quickly." Lu Jian seemed to feel that it was inappropriate: "Go back and let the kitchen cook for you."

"Brother Jian, look at me... I'm here even though I'm here."

Lu Jian never liked women making independent decisions, so his face darkened: "Go back."

He meant that he had the same temperament, and Shi Xuexian didn't dare to make him angry easily.

At this time, Meng Zhining's voice came from the private room: "It's so hot outside. It's rare for Ms. Shi to come here to guard her husband in the scorching sun. She's in good spirits. Come in and sit down."

Meng Zhining had already spoken, so Lu Jian certainly couldn't say anything more and made way for her to enter.

Lu Zhen and Lu Yan looked at each other, and Lu Zhen's brows were so high that he could hold a pencil.

Shi Xuexian adjusted her position, entered the room and sat directly between Lu Jian and Meng Zhining.

The meal was not as enjoyable as Lu Zhen expected. Everyone ate in silence, and the atmosphere was awkward for a time.

Shi Xuexian wanted to show her affection to Lu Jian and kept serving him food. Lu Jian said several times that she should eat it by herself and not give it to him. Shi Xuexian said to Meng Zhining: "Brother Jian is like this. He talks twice and means what he means. Hey, why didn't you order it?

As for the braised pork elbow, he likes braised pork elbow the most. By the way, why is there Houttuynia cordata? Don’t you know that Brother Jian hates Houttuynia cordata the most?”

Meng Zhining smiled politely and said, "This is what your husband ordered."

After saying that, she picked up a chopstick of Houttuynia cordata and put it in a bowl: "Everything on the table is my favorite. If it's not to Ms. Shi's taste, I'm really sorry."

After saying this, Shi Xuexian's face looked a little unhappy.

Not to be outdone, she continued: "What kind of strong women are respected in society now? I think those are all nonsense. The final destination of a woman is the family. If you don't even know what food your husband likes to eat, it's no wonder that you are divorced now."

Why is the rate so high?”

Shi Xuexian smiled at Meng Zhining: "Miss Meng, what do you think?"

Meng Zhining said expressionlessly: "Since Ms. Shi emphasizes the importance of family and believes that women should return to the family, then Ms. Shi must be a good hand at cooking, washing dishes, mopping floors and wiping bricks."

"I..."

Lu Zhen said in time: "She doesn't do anything at home. She goes out to play mahjong all day long."

"That's not what you said. I can make my husband relax after get off work every day, listen to his words, and not quarrel with him. These are enough, right, Brother Jian."

Lu Jian rubbed his forehead and said nothing, feeling very depressed.

Lu Yan looked at her grandfather like this and could understand his current mood. The ex and the current man were fighting with guns and sticks, and he was caught in the middle. Naturally, it was wrong to say anything and protect anyone.

After this experience, Lu Yan was in a much better mood and watched with interest how Meng Zhining dealt with Shi Xuexian.

"I understand, so what Ms. Shi means is that the value of a woman is to be like a canary at home, pleasing her husband. When the husband is happy, he will feed you some snacks, right?"

"Isn't it right?"

"As a servant of Israel, what should I do if one day my appearance becomes old and my husband loses my favor?"

"I, when did I say that I wanted to serve people in Israel? You look down on people too much."

"Don't get excited." Meng Zhining smiled calmly: "Besides, we are just discussing the current situation of society, and I didn't mention you by name, Ms. Shi."

Shi Xuexian breathed, and her plump breasts rose and fell. No matter how smooth and flattering she was, she was no match for Meng Zhining with her little smartness.

"I think it's wrong for women to always work outside for their careers and ignore their families and children." Shi Xuexian brought the topic back to the topic.

"I agree with you, but everyone has their own ambitions. Not all women should be limited to the family and the kitchen. If the husband cannot give respect and support, then there is no regrets even if he gets divorced."

After Meng Zhining finished speaking, he glanced at Lu Jian.

Lu Jian narrowed her eyes, and there was a trace of ripples in her dark eyes.

Meng Zhining looked at Lu Yan: "Yanyan, you must also remember that a girl should never lose herself for love. No matter how much you like that man, the first thing you should love...is yourself."

"Yes, I remember." Lu Yan nodded obediently.

Seeing Meng Zhining educating her daughter, Shi Xuexian was not willing to be outdone, and turned to Shi Ya and said: "Yaya, you must put your family first in the future, and don't imitate those girls in society who talk about women's rights and independence, otherwise you will be the one who suffers in the end.

"

Meng Zhining stood up with the bag: "In this case, I have almost eaten, so I will go ahead. Lu Jian, you accompany your wife to have a good meal. Yanyan, Xiaozhen, send mother out."

Lu Yan and Lu Zhen immediately stood up from their seats and prepared to see Meng Zhining off. Lu Jian raised his head and said to her: "About the cooperation between Lu and Meng, I will come to the company to talk to you in detail next time."

"Make an appointment first." Meng Zhining glanced at him: "I don't know if I'm free yet."

"Yanyan came to see you. You said you would be available at any time, but I found you and was no longer available."

"Can you compare with my daughter?" Meng Zhining smiled lightly and touched Lu Yan's head: "Isn't that right, my dear daughter."

Lu Yan held Meng Zhining's hand. She had to say that she really liked Grandma Meng's style. Even twenty years into the future, the charm of such a woman would be irresistible.

Meng Zhining stepped on the sky high and walked out of the hotel at a faster pace. Only then did he reveal his true nature. He was very angry: "I know who your father is looking for!"

Lu Zhen and Lu Yan looked at each other and said in unison: "You just know."

"She teaches children like this, ah! It's really terrible!"

Meng Zhining shook his head and said: "No, I can't safely leave you at your father's house and let such a woman stay by your side, what the hell!"

Seeing this, Lu Zhen quickly said: "Mom, if you remarry Dad, we won't be affected by her."

Assist Lu Yan also nodded repeatedly.

"It is impossible to remarry. It will never be possible. Even if that dead man kneels in front of me and begs me, he will not be able to remarry!"

"Mom, don't speak so harshly."

"Okay, let's go back, you two..."

She pondered for a moment and said: "I will consult a lawyer again, at least I have to win Yanyan back."

Lu Yan immediately hugged Lu Zhen's waist: "I don't want to be separated from my dad...my brother!"

Lu Zhen said with a sad face: "Mom, you only want your sister, not me?"

Meng Zhining patted the back of Lu Zhen's head: "How old are you? Okay, let's go."

At night, Lu Yan sat alone on the terrace, holding her guitar and playing an unknown tune.

I feel depressed.

I don’t know why I care so much about what Shen Kuo said.

In her previous life, she thought Shen Kuo was a cruel man without any emotions. He was middle-aged and alone, and all his thoughts and calculations were focused on how to get revenge on Lu Zhen.

Such a guy was so terrifying that Lu Yan couldn't help but tremble even if she just glanced at him.

But going back twenty years ago, I witnessed his difficulties and struggles when he was young, and occasionally I could see a bit of sincerity in his smile.

Lu Yan's heart was filled with many flavors. These flavors fell on her fingertips and played a series of clear melodies.

She wanted to write him a song as compensation for breaking her promise.

Just when Lu Yan slowly raised her head, she suddenly saw a tall boy standing alone under a streetlight at a street intersection not far away, holding a lighter on his slender wrist under his half-sleeves.

One open, one close.

The flames flickered in and out of the darkness.

He raised his head and looked at her, his dark eyes hidden in the shadows under his eyebrows, making it difficult to see clearly.

Lu Yan felt her heartbeat suddenly speed up a bit. She stood up and walked to the railing of the terrace, wanting to wave and say hello to him, but thinking of what Shen Kuo said, she retracted her hand tremblingly.

Shen Kuo said that he hated her.

There was no moon tonight, and the night was as thick as ink that could not be melted. Lu Yan looked at him from a distance through the thick night, and could only see the outline of his unclear figure.

A few minutes later, Shen Kuo hung a small bag on the iron fence in front of the Lu residence, turned around and left, disappearing at the end of the wet long street.

Lu Yan quickly put down her guitar, hurried downstairs and ran out, taking off the white bag.

There was a small transparent paper box in the pocket, with a small strawberry-shaped cake inside.
