On the car back to the city, Liang Sheng explained to me his relationship with Aunt Ping. Some of the information really surprised me.
In the 1980s, a group of unknown businessmen emerged in Shanghai. They came from all over the country. At that time, it was difficult to squeeze into the circle of the upper class, but once you squeezed in, almost everyone in the circle would interact with each other. Familiar.
Liang Sheng's mother, Qiao Wan, and Mr. Jin's wife, Liu Ping, met at that time. Because they were in the same circle of ladies, and they were quite speculative, they became like sisters when they talked a lot.
Qiao Wan is the kind of extrovert with a temperament of a wealthy lady, a bit of unruly boyishness in her personality, and likes to travel far and wide to make friends; while Liu Ping has a gentler personality and a bit aloof from the world.
When the two of them met, Qiao Wan was already Liang Mohua's wife, and Liu Ping was still a lady. At that time, Mr. Jin was just an unknown person who opened a leather bag company. Because he was fighting for fame and fortune, he finally used tricks to sell her handbags. Liu Ping married into the family just to get close to Liang Mohua through her relationship with Qiao Wan.
Later, due to some changes, Qiao Wan went abroad, and the two sisters lost contact. Liang Sheng was entrusted by his mother to take care of Liu Ping on his behalf. Liu Ping had always hated Mr. Jin for ruining her marriage and doing some unethical things, so she couldn't stand it, so she asked Liang Sheng for help.
Mr. Jin has closed down many companies in recent years. He always thought it was Liu Pingkefu, so he looked for women everywhere, specifically looking for women with prosperous husbands. But what he didn't know was that the reason why his company collapsed was because Liu Ping and Liang Sheng were secretly obstructing it.
When Liang Sheng said this, my favorable impression of Liu Ping rose to a higher level. She simply went deep into the tiger's den to eliminate harm for the people.
I asked Liang Sheng, "Then if you continue like this, what will happen if Mr. Jin finds out?"
Liang Sheng held the steering wheel and disapproved: "So what if I find out, I will be merciful because he is Aunt Ping's husband. Otherwise, the things he committed will be enough to put him in jail."
I recalled the first time I met Mr. Jin, with his arrogant and domineering disgusting face, and I couldn't help but shudder. If I didn't feel that Liu Ping was pitiful, ten thousand years in prison wouldn't be too much for someone like him.
When we met for the first time, I asked Liang Sheng doubtfully: "He didn't seem to know you before the club. He probably never knew about the friendship between you and Aunt Ping."
"Of course." Liang Sheng looked straight ahead and kept the car moving at a constant speed: "If he knew, how could he let us know so many inside stories."
I nodded in understanding, thought for a while, and then asked, "Did you just say that your mother will return to China next month?"
Liang Sheng immediately turned his head to look at me and said with a smile, "What, are you nervous?"
I shook my head, "No." I was just worried that if Qiao Wan returned to China and found out that Liang Mohua and Ning Jing had an illegitimate child, she would not be able to accept it. And according to unreliable sources, Liang Mohua had quite a few mistresses. According to Liang Sheng, Qiao Wan was also a sweetheart. If she knew that Liang Mohua betrayed her like this, she would definitely feel very uncomfortable.
It seems that women are easily at a disadvantage in front of men. It would be okay if someone like Liu Ping didn't care. Once you put enough thought into it, your heart would be broken the moment you learn that the other party betrayed you.
Just like when I discovered the adultery between Liu Nanhao and Yuan Yushan, shallow words such as heartache and despair could not explain the pain in my heart.
Liang Sheng has always focused on the relationship and conflicts between Liu Ping, his mother and President Jin, and he has said very little about the matters between his mother and Liang Mohua. Since joining Yuansheng, I have heard quite a lot about the chairman’s personal affairs. One of them is that the chairman and his wife divorced many years ago. Regarding this, I remember that Director Qin also told Liang Sheng that the company’s The shareholders were against his parents' marriage, so there's a good chance the rumors were true. At least one thing that is certain is that Liang Mohua and Qiao Wan have long been separated. One is in the United States and one is in Australia.
Now that they are returning to China at the same time, it should be more than just coming back to celebrate the New Year.
Back at the company, Liang Sheng went directly to find Chu Jin without even eating. I wanted to call Xuanxuan, but her call came in first.
"Yanyan, I'm coming over to have dinner with you now. Let's meet at the same place in the cafeteria."
When Xuanxuan came, I prepared a meal for her. The chef who bought the chicken legs still picked the two biggest ones for me and asked me with a smile, "Why are you alone today? Where is your little sister?"
I smiled at him and said, "She'll be here in a minute."
The chef nodded and added an extra chicken drumstick to my plate. "This is for you. If you have a chance, help me talk to the boss and give me a promotion and a salary."
"Huh?" I was stunned for a moment.
The master hurriedly smiled and said: "I'm kidding you, I didn't sell the chicken legs today, so I have extra."
"In that case, thank you."
Carrying the dinner plate, I walked to the window seat where I usually sat. I couldn't help but look back. These days, even the chefs who serve dishes know that they have gained positions through connections. No wonder people say that Yuan Sheng is in trouble, and the workplace is in trouble. It seems that what I am doing Still have too little experience.
Xuanxuan ran over to me wearing a beach hat and sat across from me. She grabbed the drink on the table and drank it in big gulps. She shouted: "Dear Mr. Liang, I'm still sunbathing outside. You have to ask me to come and eat with you. You said you are not a child anymore and you don’t need to be fed, so why do you ask me to come and accompany you every time?"
I made a 'pop' sound and said in surprise: "He asked you to come."
Xuanxuan nodded wildly, "Otherwise, although I love you, I wouldn't give up my wonderful beach nap just for your lunch."
"Look at how cool you are, it's so nice to work behind your own man. It's no different than if you were in the class with me." I rolled my eyes at her, pretending to be envious.
"Hahaha, it sounds like you are not working behind the scenes of your own man. The men in your family have more rights than the men in mine. Who do you blame if you don't learn to be lazy?" Xuanxuan said seriously, as if the down-to-earth job is mine. Something is wrong.
But her words reminded me of what Liang Mohua said to me. I was upset and told Xuanxuan about it. Xuanxuan was not surprised at all. After her eyes flickered, she said to me, "Actually, before the chairman came back, Mr. Liang and Chu Jin had already guessed that they went drinking that night, maybe it was because of this. I didn’t know it at the time, but later Chu Jin told me that Mr. Liang had gone to great lengths to trick you into being his assistant, just to keep you by his side, but the chairman even wanted to interfere with an assistant. After all, he is the president of the company, and he has no control over many things."
"Oh, by the way, I accidentally saw the chat history between Chu Jin and Mr. Liang last night. He was also talking about you. I didn't read the details carefully. Anyway, I can tell from every line of Mr. Liang's words that he really cares about you. You." Xuanxuan suddenly acted like Liang Sheng's lobbyist, and kept saying good things for Liang Sheng. My heart skipped a beat, and I couldn't control my pounding.
I lowered my head and remained silent. Xuanxuan finished the chicken legs on her plate, and then quietly took the ones from my plate. While chewing, she said, "Actually, I can see that you also like her very much, but you don't feel safe." .I have already told Chu Jin to let him know if he has anything to do. He must communicate with you more, otherwise he will not tell you anything. He will be tired just by holding it in his heart. You are also tired, and it affects your relationship more than the gain is worth the loss."
Xuanxuan's words made me feel itchy in my heart. I didn't want to tell Liang Sheng about this at first, but now that I think about it, sometimes I think too much. Communication should be a matter between two people. If I hold things back and don't tell him, over time, he will naturally not confess everything to me.
It seemed that I should tell him about this when I saw him in the afternoon.
I cheered up and smiled at Xuanxuan, "You are simply an intelligence princess."
Xuanxuan raised her chin proudly, "Of course, this is what I promised you originally."
"Promise me?" I had forgotten that such a thing happened.
Xuanxuan rolled her eyes at me, "You have forgotten that when I first became Mr. Liang's assistant, I told you that I would tell you as soon as possible if anything happens to Mr. Liang."
"Ah, so it's this. Haha, Xuanxuan, you are the conscience of the intelligence industry." I almost laughed out of tears. In today's materialistic society, there can still be such a person who treats me sincerely, a casual saying They all kept doing it, and I was so moved that I decisively gave her the last chicken leg on the plate.
