Mao Huimei is 24 years old this year. In the eyes of Xia Wenyue's generation, she is already an older single woman. If she were not still in school, Xia Wenyue and Mao Zhishan would be worried.
When she first entered college, there was a very handsome boy who was said to have excellent grades and pursued her relentlessly. Xia Mian still remembered that his name was Qi Kai.
She would always send Mao Huimei home, so almost everyone in the family had seen her. Xia Wenyue was once waiting for her to officially bring her home, but nothing happened later.
"He's a nice guy, and he's working hard, but he always talks about his parents." Mao Huimei said at the time, "When I buy a piece of clothing, he says I'm not thrifty, and he says that practical clothes don't have to look good."
"Then there's the idea that his parents haven't had a good life yet, so he needs to work hard first and can't spend money recklessly."
Mao Huimei couldn't help but complain, "He worked hard for his own business, and I didn't spend his money. I spent my own money to buy clothes, and he lectured me. We haven't even gotten married yet, and he's like this. What will happen after we get married?"
"But this is not intolerable," Mao Huimei said, "I later found out that his family is extremely patriarchal, and his mother is probably similar to my grandmother."
This is Mao Huimei’s Achilles’ heel. No, this is the Achilles’ heel of everyone in the Mao family.
Mao Huimei guessed it when Qi Kai was drunk one time.
At that time, he asked directly, "You have three daughters in your family. Have your parents decided which one to marry into your family?"
Mao Huimei thought that he was worried that his family would ask him to become a son-in-law, after all, marrying into a woman's family was a very shameful thing these days, so she said that Xia Wenyue had no intention of asking anyone to marry her into the family.
Then Qi Kai said, "You don't have a son, so who will the family property belong to in the future?"
Mao Huimei was furious. She didn't think that Qi Kai was coveting the Mao family's property, but she was disgusted by the idea that his son would inherit everything.
After asking a few more questions, I found out that he had two older sisters and a younger sister, but he never mentioned it.
Mao Huimei didn't believe that her sisters hadn't made sacrifices for him, but in his eyes, it was obvious that girls' sacrifices were taken for granted, so Mao Huimei immediately and resolutely broke up with her.
Later, Qi Kai came to bother him several times, but since Mao Huimei was not an option, he went around her and looked for Xia Wenyue, hoping to get her approval.
If he hadn't let the secret slip when he was drunk, he would indeed seem to be a good candidate for a son-in-law who is hardworking, filial, considerate, and thrifty. But Xia Wenyue is not the naive Mao Huimei, she knows his ambitions clearly.
Qi Kai is eyeing the Mao family's property.
Although Mao Huimei was very low-key at school and never talked about the fact that her family ran a factory, as her family became better off, Mao Huimei followed Xia Wenyue to discuss business and learn etiquette, and her temperament and spending already reflected the difference from an ordinary family.
As long as the relationship is a little closer, they will understand each other, so Xia Wenyue refused more directly than Mao Huimei.
After that, he kept urging Mao Huimei to find another partner as soon as possible.
Now she looked at the young man in front of her. He was about 1.75 meters tall and his appearance could be rated 70 points, but he knew how to take care of himself. He was very sunny when he smiled and was quite comfortable to look at.
His eyes fell on the BMW driven by He Wei. It seemed that his family was well-off. If so, he would not lie to Mao Huimei.
Xia Wenyue quickly straightened her clothes and said, "He Wei, hello, I'm Huimei's mother."
"Auntie, hello." He Wei smiled brightly. He looked at the mess in the next alley and said to Mao Huimei, "I heard that you moved, so I came to see if there's anything I can do to help."
"Where do I park my car?"
Mao Huimei felt even more embarrassed and quickly said, "No need."
Because she was moving, she was wearing old clothes from work, which were very ugly. She didn't want him to see her in such a mess, so she smiled and said, "It's almost done. I'll invite you to my house another day after I'm done. Otherwise, it would be rude."
He Wei seemed a little conflicted and looked like he wanted to help, but in the end he was persuaded to leave by Mao Huimei.
Xia Wenyue walked back with a lot on her mind. She had long forgotten about Mao Huizhu. She was thinking about He Wei at the moment. Finally, she sighed and said, "Forget it. There is no such thing as a perfect person."
Xia Mian knew what she was struggling with.
Look at the men around them, not to mention Mao Zhishan, as long as he is around, he won't let his wife and daughter do any heavy work;
Although Ning Shaobai is also a wealthy man, he never hesitates when it comes to working;
Zhou Xuewen used to be a nobleman who had never done housework, but after living here for a long time in the past two years, he has become like an ordinary husband and father, and he will try his best to do the work whether he can do it or not.
As for He Wei just now, Mao Huimei was too young to tell how sharp Xia Wenyue's eyes were. There is a difference between sincerity and politeness.
I don't know how much she thought about during this short journey. Finally, she sighed and said, "That's right. Children from rich families don't know how to work. It looks like they were spoiled."
"How many people like Dr. Ning are there in the world?"
After Xia Wenyue convinced herself, she began to think about what dowry to give to Mao Huimei.
Xia Mian couldn't help but laugh secretly. This era was so terrible. She was only 24 and already she was being pressured into getting married.
But it seems that there is still hope this time.
On the day that Xia Mian and Ning Shaoyun took Xiao Feng, Chen Chen and Mao Huizhu to the amusement park, He Wei also came to pick up Mao Huimei to go out and play together.
Judging from Mao Huimei's happy expression, she was obviously having a good time.
But when it comes to love, not only Mao Huimei is feeling romantic, but the students graduating from high school are also completely liberated.
In order to leave no regrets, their class reunion almost became a large-scale confession scene.
On the day of the party, Xia Mian first met up with Sun Yuexin and the others before leaving.
"Although the food is delicious, there are no private rooms, right?" Li Lizhen said, "Isn't it inconvenient for a party?" Whether for others or for themselves.
Zhao Cheng smiled and said, "Old Han is really smart. He called Class 6 and Class 1 to have a party with our Class 3. There are more than 100 people. He directly booked Hao Zai Lai. Today, Hao Zai Lai is full of students from Yanda High School. They are very relaxed."
This is a really good idea, cheap and comfortable.
"Han Haoyan is quite reliable in his work."
However, when they stood at the entrance of Hao Zhailai Hotel, their eyes could not help but fall on a magnificent courtyard diagonally opposite. On the plaque were written the two large characters "Ming Xuan" in a flamboyant style.
Sun Yuexin enviously said, "It would be great if we could go to Mingxuan to eat whenever we want. My dad took us there once and the food there was really delicious."
Xia Mian smiled, "But the price is also very good."
Sun Yuexin chuckled, "After eating this meal, my mother felt distressed for a month. She will never go there again."
"Maybe after we get to work, we'll have a chance to get together there." Zhao Cheng said with a smile, "Let's go."
Just as Xia Mian was about to go in, his eyes suddenly fixed.
Seeing that she didn't catch up, Li Lizhen asked curiously, "Asumiuan?"
"Oh. You go in first, I'll be there in a moment." Xia Mian stood at the door and looked at the young man walking out of Mingxuan.
The young man was wearing a floral shirt and bell-bottom pants, his hair was styled with mousse, and he was holding a beautiful girl in his arms.
It was not until the two men got into a BMW that Xia Mian confirmed that the man was He Wei.
It was true that the other person's dress and temperament were completely different from when he was in front of them, looking flashy and dandy. If the car was not exactly the same, Xia Mian would have thought he was He Wei's twin brother.
The key point is that the person following him is Qi Kai...
Qi Kai was still dressed simply and plainly, following them neither humbly nor arrogantly, and there was a pretty girl with good temperament beside him.
Xia Mian slowly frowned and called Mao Huimei, "Sister, has He Wei looked for you these two days?"
Mao Huimei said, "He said he was going to the south to look at a project and he won't be in Yan City recently. What's wrong?"
"Nothing," Xia Mian said, "I'll tell you when I get back."
