He Jifan sat casually on the chair with a chic posture. After listening to the assistant's words, he turned his sparkling pupils to look over, "Both benefit from each other, whichever is more important."
The assistant was stunned for a moment before he understood what his boss meant.
"Mr. He, what do you mean, having them come to the wedding will bring you greater benefits than not letting them harass your wife?" As for the benefits, the assistant thought for a moment and asked tentatively, "You asked them to come to not embarrass your wife."
How sad and embarrassing it is to have no relatives to bless the wedding.
He Jifan smiled. Every time Dou Weier mentioned the wedding guests, there would always be a hint of disappointment in his eyes. He is not a careful person, so it's fine if he didn't notice it. Since he knew that she was upset about this matter, he naturally wanted to help her solve the matter.
"Then why didn't you just come forward and let the Dou's family come over? Instead, you made such a big detour and asked me to tell them that they are probably using me as a life-saving straw now."
"I invited them because I wanted something from others, so I had to fuel their arrogance and bring Wei'er more trouble." Therefore, he asked his assistant to advise the Dou family, making the Dou family the one that wanted something from others.
The assistant secretly gave her boss a thumbs up. The boss's move was really high, and the Dou family might never know it in this life. They thought that the trip to the capital was to ease the relationship between Dou Weier, but in fact, it was just a chess piece used to please Dou Weier.
Dou Weier stood outside the door of the VIP waiting room, leaning against the wall made of tiles, with a slight coolness coming from behind.
She also wondered who told her uncle and aunt about her marriage, and why her uncle and aunt suddenly brought their relatives and friends to her wedding with such enthusiasm.
Their performance on the wedding day was also remarkable. Although they were not as good as those relatives and friends of the He family who were either rich or expensive, they did not lose her face.
"It's been twenty minutes, and my wife hasn't come back yet." The assistant's voice came from the waiting room.
"I'll go and have a look." As soon as He Jifan's words fell, footsteps sounded from inside, a little eager, gradually approaching.
Dou Wei'er restrained her emotions, with a smile on her lips, and walked in as if she had just come back, and said: "There are quite a lot of people in the bathroom, there is a queue."
He Jifan came over and hugged her, "Nothing is uncomfortable, are you hungry, do you want to eat something thirsty?"
"I'm fine. I'm neither hungry nor thirsty." Dou Wei'er smiled, a voice reminding her to board the plane came from the radio at the right time, she picked up the bag on the chair, "Let's go."
He Jifan carried her bag for her, and walked towards the boarding gate with her arms in his arms. The assistant was behind to help with the things. The large luggage was checked in, and the small items needed on the road were all in the hands of the assistant.
After a while of taxiing, the plane rose into the sky, and the terminal building in the distance gradually disappeared from sight. Dou Weier leaned on He Jifan's shoulder and looked out the window at the clear blue sky, with the lingering clouds and mists under the plane, her heart felt calm for a while.
Two days later, Dou Weier was sitting on the beach in Bali, blowing the brackish sea breeze, leaning on He Jifan's shoulder like this, and her heart became more peaceful and natural.
Those busy lives in the past seem to be very far away.
While Dou Weier and He Jifan were enjoying the beauty and customs of a foreign country, Shen Meng in the capital had a hard time.
After the eldest son and eldest daughter-in-law left, Zhouzhou was sent to the old house.
Ever since Zhouzhou's identity was exposed, Shen Meng sent Zhouzhou to Biyun Villa on the grounds that Zhouzhou should follow her mother.
Now, facing Zhou Zhou's face that grows and looks less like He Jifan every day, her heart is always burning with anger. Fortunately, she used to treat Zhou Zhou as a treasure, but it turns out that she is not of the He family at all.
It's not from the He family, it's dazzling in front of your eyes.
Snapped
Shen Meng's chopsticks slapped on the table, "I have to feed him when he is so old, Xiaoyuan, let him eat by himself."
The maid Xiaoyuan opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she didn't say anything. She put down the cartoon spoon, coaxed Zhou Zhou, got up and left.
Zhou Zhou may have eaten enough, instead of picking up a spoon to eat obediently as usual, he stretched his hands into the bowl to grab the rice and squeezed it for fun.
Shen Meng frowned, "Zhouzhou, don't waste food, eat it quickly."
Zhouzhou didn't seem to hear, he was having a great time, rice sticky everywhere.
Shen Meng got up and took Zhou Zhou's hand away from the bowl, took the small bowl away, and scolded: "I told you not to play or not to play, and I insisted on listening. Although the He family does not lack your food, the money is not blown by the strong wind, so I can't stand your waste like this."
Frightened by Shen Meng's stern tone, Zhouzhou pursed his lips and began to cry, tears falling down almost instantly.
"What are you doing?" Mrs. He couldn't bear it anymore. Because Zhou Zhou was not a child of the He family, Shen Meng took her anger towards Shi Ying on Zhou Zhou and disliked him. She can understand, but Shen Meng is such a big person, what's the matter with bullying a child
Mrs. He hugged Zhouzhou in distress, coaxing him gently.
"Mom, you can't spoil him like this. He is still young and has learned to waste food. When he grows up, he doesn't know how to squander it. It will be too late to care about it."
"Okay, don't talk about that big theory in front of me. I know you don't like Zhouzhou, but Shiying made the mistake. Zhouzhou is innocent. If you have the ability, you can settle accounts with Shiying. Besides, Zhouzhou has lived in the He family for more than three years. Even if you raise a dog, you will have feelings. You treat him as an adopted son. Didn't Afan say that Zhouzhou was abandoned at birth, and he is also a poor child."
Speaking of this, Mrs. He felt uncomfortable.
A good great-grandson turned into an abandoned orphan, how could she not be sad
Seeing Mrs. He's tears, Shen Meng felt guilty, "Mom, why are you still crying? Didn't I just say a few words to him, and didn't hit him, okay, okay, I won't talk about him in the future, please stop crying, what do you look like when people see you, those who don't know think I'm disrespectful to you."
Although Zhouzhou is only three years old, observing words and expressions is a child's innate ability. He felt that his grandmother who always loved him had changed, and he was nestled in the arms of his grandma, motionless.
His dependence made Mrs. He even more distressed.
After eating, Shen Meng went out, originally wanted to play cards with her sisters to express her depression, but two of them couldn't come due to something, the other two sat eye to eye for a while, then went home separately.
Passing by the mall by car, Shen dreamed that he hadn't gone shopping for clothes for a while, so he asked the driver to park the car in the open-air parking lot of the mall.
Just about to enter the gate of the shopping mall, he caught a glimpse of He Su'e from the corner of the eye, and Jing Zong sent her over. Although the two of them didn't have any intimate gestures, Shen Meng could feel the stickiness between them several meters away.
Jing Zong seemed to have ordered something, then got in the car and left, Shen Meng stood there waiting for He Su'e.
It's boring to go shopping alone, it's good to have a companion, but she hasn't settled with He Su'e about the wedding yet.
As soon as He Su'e turned around, she saw Shen Meng, who had a half-smile expression on her face. She was embarrassed for a moment, and walked towards her, "Sister-in-law is here to go shopping alone."
Shen Meng looked at He Su'e's face for a moment, "Aren't you the same, I didn't notice the emotion, but you are getting younger and younger, look at this skin, it is fairer and tenderer than when I was twenty."
"Sister-in-law was joking." He Su'e was polite. Although she was well maintained, she couldn't compare to a twenty-year-old girl. "Since we are all alone, why don't we be together."
"Okay." Shen Meng smiled: "It happens that I have something to tell you."
He Su'e knew what she wanted to say.
Sure enough, as soon as he got on the escalator, Shen Meng said: "You managed Afan's wedding very well. Now everyone in the circle knows that the He family has a poor in-laws and they value them very much. Dou Wei'er is now on a firm footing."
"It's all a family. She stands firm, and the He family is honored." He Su'e said: "And I didn't arrange the relatives of the Dou family alone. I was just in charge of adding a few more banquets. As for how and why they came, you have to ask your family, A Fan."
Shen Meng took a champagne-colored dress from the shelf and pointed it at her body, saying: "That kid, Afan, is always so frizzy and careless when doing things. His father and I are living a good life, so he asked you to help him organize the wedding."
He clearly talks about He Jifan, but insinuates He Su'e.
"I watched Afan grow up. He is not different from Boyuan. He came to me for help, and I couldn't bear to refuse the child's request. Besides, if I don't agree, it's possible that sister-in-law, you will organize the wedding."
Of course not, Shen Meng didn't say that.
He Su'e could see clearly what was going on in her heart from her face, Shen Meng had never been a person who would hide her emotions.
"Sister-in-law, you don't want to handle it. Eldest brother and Afan are busy with company affairs, and men are always careless. Mom is old and can't afford to worry about that. Besides me, who else in the family can take on this job?"
Shen Meng pursed her lips, pointed to a long dress, turned to the waiter and said, "Give me that one to try on."
The sound of closing the fitting room door was a bit loud.
He Su'e smiled, walked to the rest area and sat down, she was not angry, Shen Meng's temper had been like this for decades, she was used to it.
The waiter brought a cup of coffee, and He Su'e picked it up and took a sip. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of a familiar figure walking past the shop. She immediately turned her head and saw He Changju's back in a hurry.
What are you doing in a hurry
The doubts in her heart flashed away, and He Su'e didn't have time to think about it. Shen Meng came out of the fitting room, and the long dress unexpectedly suited her.
"Very good, very suitable for you." He Su'e said truthfully.
Shen Meng was also very satisfied with herself in the mirror, her mood became a little better because of this dress, and there was a smile on the corner of her mouth, "It would be nice if the color was lighter."
"The color is just right, it makes you look and complexion very good."
The smile on the corner of Shen Meng's mouth widened a bit, "Is that so, then this one."
The waiter was overjoyed, and praised sweetly: "Madam's vision is really good. This is a new model that just arrived, and it is also a limited edition in the store. Only the stores with the best sales in each city are eligible to display it, and the size is only this size. I guarantee that you will be the only one in this city when you wear it, and you will never hit a shirt."
Bumping into shirts is something that most women hate the most, Shen Meng's mood improved a bit, "Let's make a ticket."
"I just now..." After Shen Meng paid the money, He Su'e came out with her, remembering the He Changju she saw just now, and just as He Su'e was about to tell Shen Meng, two acquaintances walked up to her.
They greeted each other and parted ways again, He Su'e was so distracted that she forgot what she wanted to say.
The two browsed through a whole floor of women's clothing and then a whole floor of men's clothing, and He Su'e went to the children's products section.
Seeing those children's things, Shen Meng thought of Zhouzhou, and couldn't be happy, "What are you doing here?"
"Buy things for the grandchildren." He Su'e's eyes were glued to the small and delicate clothes, her face was full of love, "It's been a long time since I bought clothes for them, and there are toys."
He Su'e walked to the rest area not far away, "Look, I'll sit there and wait for you."
"Don't follow me anymore. I made it very clear. I don't want to live in the dark all the time. I want to live in a dignified way." Not long after Shen Meng sat down, she heard a dispute coming from behind the half-hidden security door.
The security door is a little far from the rest area, the woman's words were yelled out, not only Shen Meng, but also the shopping guides in the store heard it, and they all looked towards the security door.
"Rarity, did someone say something to you and tell me what happened to you before."
This voice startled Shen Meng.
He Su'e was choosing clothes for her grandchildren, so she didn't notice the commotion here.
Shen Meng got up and walked towards the safety door. For some reason, her feet were a little weak.
