After get off work in the evening, Ao Zhongming sent the invitation given to him by Long Qingshan to Zhu Surong. Because Long Qingshan said that he also hoped that Zhu Surong would attend together.
While making tea, Zhu Surong said softly to her ex-husband: "Actually, when dad was alive, our two families were very good friends. Now that Qingshan has personally sent the invitation, I think it would be better to go." The tea overflowed from the cup.
When she took her mouth, the surrounding air suddenly filled with fragrance. Then, she smiled and made an invitation gesture, inviting her ex-husband to drink tea.
"But do you know what Long Qingshan said to me? He said that he hoped to facilitate the marriage between A Rui and his daughter." Ao Zhongming was not in the mood to drink tea at this time. He was as irritable as a flea. "A Rui said that he likes to dream.
Lu, but he agreed to Long Qingshan’s request, I really don’t understand what he was thinking.”
"Are Rui going too?" Zhu Surong was surprised.
"That's right, otherwise I wouldn't have to worry so much now." Ao Zhongming sighed, with a sad look on his face.
"Although I don't know what Ah Rui is thinking, I believe he can handle his own affairs. Zhong Ming, you don't have to worry too much," Zhu Surong comforted.
"Not only is he obsessed with his mistress, but now he wants to meet Long Qingshan's daughter. He is so half-hearted, can I not be anxious?" Ao Zhongming shouted anxiously at the top of his voice.
"Zhong Ming, the daughter-in-law you like may not necessarily be what Ah Rui likes. You exclude him from accepting all women except Wanke. However, Zhong Ming, this is just your intention, not Ah Rui's." Zhu Surong reminded her ex-husband.
road.
"But if that woman Monroe is allowed to enter the door of our Ao family, I will never be able to truly accept it. What is that woman's identity? What is our Ao Rui's identity? What qualifications does she have to sit on Ao's house?"
The position of the eldest mistress?" Ao Zhongming still retained his opinion and refused to give in.
Zhu Surong remained silent, knowing that she could not change her husband's prejudice.
"And, do you know? The last time I went to see her, not only was she so arrogant that she had no manners at all, but she also spoke completely shamelessly. In my age, I have never seen anyone as shameless as her.
Ao Zhongming said angrily that his impression of that woman was not good to begin with, but since he talked to her, he has become even more disgusted with that woman.
Zhu Surong's eyes suddenly widened. "Have you ever gone to see Monroe?"
"Yes." Ao Zhongming answered bluntly.
"What did you say to her?" Zhu Surong asked eagerly.
"I hope she leaves Ari, but she said that she is just like any rich man. As long as Ari does not abandon her, she will not leave Ari." Every word Ao Zhongming said,
Mixed with strong resentment.
"Zhong Ming, when you do this, have you ever thought about Ah Rui's feelings? Monroe is his woman, what qualifications do you have to interfere with him?" Zhu Surong's calm voice began to become excited.
"I'm doing this for Ah Rui's good. Although he doesn't accept it now, one day he will definitely understand my good intentions." Ao Zhongming said self-righteously.
Zhu Surong looked at her ex-husband in disbelief, a strong sadness welling up in her heart. "Zhong Ming, you have really gone too far. Do you think you can do such hurtful things just because you have money? Your authority
, is it just used to trample on other people’s self-esteem?”
"That woman is very thick-skinned. How can she have any dignity or backbone? Since she wants to be a mistress, she should not ask for respect from others. Moreover, not only did I not use money and authority to drive her away, but I was almost beaten by her
I'm so angry." Ao Zhongming felt uncomfortable when he thought about the fact that that woman let an old man like him, who had never seen Da Feng Da Lang, be defeated by her.
Knowing that her ex-husband was this kind of person and doing such things, Zhu Surong felt very disappointed with him. She lowered her head and said to Ao Zhongming: "Zhongming, I don't want to talk to you, you go back." With a cold face,
He couldn't hide the sadness and despair on his face.
"Surong..." Ao Zhongming looked at Zhu Surong helplessly, but still had no way to make concessions to her, because he could not accept Monroe anyway, and this was his bottom line.
"Go back." When he didn't leave, Zhu Surong got up and left the living room, went to her room, and closed the door gently.
Ao Zhongming went back dejectedly.
The next evening Zhu Surong invited Ao Rui to her apartment again. Mother and son chatted while eating. Since the last time they broke the heavy atmosphere because of Zhu Surong and Monroe's secret, the atmosphere of their chat now is more relaxed and pleasant.
.
"Arui, I heard from your father that you will go to Ruotong's birthday party. Is it true?" Zhu Surong wanted to confirm her son's thoughts.
"Yes." Ao Ruiyan replied simply and comprehensively.
"I want to know why you made such a decision? I remember that when I mentioned your engagement with Ruotong to you, you were very opposed and repulsive." Zhu Surong was somewhat surprised to hear her son's answer.
"I'm just curious about Miss Long." Ao Rui said lightly.
"Curious?" Zhu Surong was puzzled. Didn't his son have no interest in Ruotong before? Why is he so curious that he wants to attend her birthday party today?
"I have a friend who likes Miss Long very much. He has been eager to get Miss Long's birthday invitation from me. So, I really want to see what is so special about Miss Long." Ao
Rui explained.
Mu Zhenxuan has always chased after every woman. Ever since he got the photo of Long Ruotong from nowhere a few days ago, he became lustful and almost stalked Ao Rui, eager to get what he wanted from Ao Rui.
Long Ruotong's birthday invitation.
Therefore, Ao Rui really wanted to see what kind of woman Long Ruotong was, and see what skills his fiancée had that could make a romantic young man like Mu Zhenxuan so interested in her.
"Since Ruotong's mother passed away, Ruotong and I haven't seen each other for seven years. About two months ago, I accidentally met a mutual friend of Ruotong's mother and I. She told me that Ruotong has now appeared.
She ended up very beautiful and was a well-known beauty. But the child was quite pitiful. Mr. Long later married another woman and was not kind to Ruotong. I heard that she moved out to live alone." Zhu Surong said with a sigh.
When Ao Zhongming's father and Long Qingshan's father were still alive, the Ao family and the Long family were close friends. Zhu Surong had the best relationship with Long Qingshan's first wife, Lu Yinman, and they were similar in age.
They had similar temperaments and could get along with each other on many things. But no one thought that Lu Yinman, who had always been virtuous and kind, would actually get brain cancer and die early.
Zhu Surong, who lost her best friend, was deeply saddened.
Ao Rui chewed the food in her mouth silently and listened to her mother's words.
"Originally, as an elder who is Ruotong's mother's best friend, I should take good care of Ruotong. But since your grandfather passed away, our two families have had fewer and fewer contacts, and the relationship has gradually faded. Now Mr. Long personally
Send the invitation and I have no reason to refuse. I will go with you on Ruotong's birthday." Zhu Surong requested.
"Did Mom miss Miss Long's mother, so she wanted me to marry Miss Long?" Ao Rui asked. At first, he always thought that his mother just wanted to respect his grandfather's wish and continue to maintain a friendly relationship with the Long family. Unexpectedly,
, mother’s intention is so deep.
"If you marry Ruotong, at least I can care for her like a mother, and I believe you will treat your wife well." Zhu Surong said frankly that she believed her son was a responsible and responsible man.
A man will never be like his father.
Ao Rui was silent.
"But, Ari, you know, I will not force you on anything." Zhu Surong said, her eyes as calm as water without any trace of resentment.
Although she really wants to care about Ruotong, if Ao Rui and Ruotong have no feelings, what's the point of tying them together? It was indeed too hasty when the two elders made the engagement privately. Who could have predicted them?
What happens when you grow up?
Ao Rui stared at his mother without saying a word. His sharp black eyes made it difficult to see what he was thinking.
"Although Ruotong and I can't be mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, I can still take care of her in other ways." Zhu Surong comforted herself.
Ao Rui remained silent.
"By the way, Rui, remember to prepare a birthday gift for Ruotong when the time comes."
"Okay, I'll let the secretary prepare it for me." Ao Rui promised.
Zhu Surong smiled slightly. Then, she seemed to suddenly remember something, so she said to Ao Rui: "Ao Rui, do you know that your father once asked for Monroe?"
"I know." Ao Rui said.
"Aren't you angry?" Zhu Surong wondered. Usually her son hated others interfering in his affairs, but now she could not see any angry expression on his face.
"No." Ao Rui stared at her mother and said calmly.
He didn't want his mother to know that he was doing this, but it was actually just an act of revenge against his father. Because he knew that with his mother's kind personality, her mother would definitely stop him. But he was not a mother, and he could not forgive his father for betraying his mother twenty years ago.
the behavior of.
"Why aren't you angry?" Zhu Surong asked.
"No matter what the president does, it can't affect my decision." Ao Rui deliberately understated.
"But by doing this, he hurt Monroe..."
Only now did Ao Rui understand that his mother's love for Monroe was far beyond his imagination. He comforted his mother and said: "Monroe will not be hurt by the president. She is not the kind of person who is despised and pointed at by others.
A woman who hides and cries. The reason why I admire her is because of her calmness and magnanimity that are different from ordinary women."
Hearing what her son said, Zhu Surong felt relieved. She breathed a sigh of relief, and then prayed: "I hope your father can listen to what I said and stop hurting her with his own prejudices."
Ao Rui, who lowered his eyes, felt a little complicated after hearing his mother's words. He took advantage of Monroe, but his mother blindly protected Monroe. After all, he was too selfish and let Monroe bear the burden for his own selfish desires.
The accusations from the father and the Wen family? Or is the mother making too much of a fuss?
