Chapter 162 2 men and 1 woman
Three days after dealing with Cheng Zhenxing's matter, He Mei couldn't wait to rush to the guesthouse.
"Where's my goddaughter?" He Mei asked impatiently as soon as she opened the door, her eyes filled with anticipation and confusion.
Li Wanqing was sitting alone at the table, leisurely turning the pages of the book in her hands, with a faint smile on her face.
Seeing this, He Mei's doubts deepened, and she quickened her pace to walk to her side. "Why are you alone?"
Li Wanqing looked up at her, then got up to pour her a glass of water and said with a soft smile, "She went to the hospital."
Upon hearing this, He Mei's expression instantly tensed up, and she almost dropped the cup in her hand.
"Is she sick?"
"Is it serious?"
Why didn't you tell me?
She fired off a barrage of questions like a machine gun, her eyes filled with anxiety and worry.
Seeing this, Li Wanqing quickly waved her hand to comfort her, "No, no, don't worry too much."
"She just wants something new and wants to go out and have fun. My uncle is here, he'll take good care of her."
"Besides, there's not much to see in the hospital, just patients, doctors, and nurses. But since she wants to go, let her see what it's like."
He Mei breathed a sigh of relief, patted her chest, and said, "You really scared me to death! I thought something had happened to her. To be honest, I really didn't expect Dr. Meng to be your uncle."
Upon hearing this, Li Wanqing couldn't help but laugh, shrugging her hands and saying, "To be honest, who would have thought?"
He Mei nodded in deep agreement, her smile gradually fading and replaced by a touch of emotion.
"Yes, the world is truly amazing. Sometimes, fate works like that, connecting two people unexpectedly."
As she spoke, she picked up her cup, took a sip of water, and quickly added, "By the way, the eldest son of the Cheng family went back yesterday. I heard that the person he injured was Lu Wei? What happened?"
Li Wanqing looked at her with a half-smile, a playful smile curling at the corner of her lips. "What? Feeling sorry for her?"
He Mei was speechless for a moment, her cheeks instantly turning bright red, and even her ears turned red.
"Why would I be heartbroken? Don't talk nonsense. Zhou Weifeng will be furious with me if he finds out."
She quickly explained, her tone tinged with panic and shyness.
Li Wanqing laughed without any attempt to hide it, a sly glint in her eyes. "You're still afraid of him? I think you're completely under his thumb."
He Mei stubbornly retorted, "This isn't fear, it's respect! What do you know?"
"Alright, alright!" Li Wanqing shrugged, stopping teasing her, and said seriously, "Our last meeting was rushed, and you still haven't told me what your plans are with Zhou Weifeng?"
She didn't really approve of He Mei dating right now. What if they got into different universities after the college entrance exam?
Long-distance relationships in this era are more terrifying than in later generations!
In later generations, at least transportation and communication were convenient.
If we were separated into two different places, it would be no different from breaking up.
These two have even met each other's parents. If they get married early, it will be even more difficult to handle later.
Upon hearing this, He Mei's smile gradually faded, and a hint of confusion and hesitation flashed in her eyes.
"I haven't decided yet. We'll just take it one step at a time. It's too early to talk about these things now."
Li Wanqing frowned slightly, a hint of worry flashing in her eyes. "What about Zhou Weifeng? Is he the same way?"
"This is a major life event, you two should discuss it carefully. After all, matters of the heart are not child's play. Once you make a decision, you must be responsible for each other."
Mentioning Zhou Weifeng, He Mei couldn't help but smile, her face beaming with happiness. "He said he'd follow me wherever I go. Anyway, he has many brothers, so he'll just consider it marrying into the family."
At this point, she grabbed Li Wanqing's arm, laughing so hard she could barely stand up straight, "Don't you think he's stupid?"
Li Wanqing was amused, and her worries dissipated considerably. She comforted him, "Whether he's stupid or not, it's good that he has the intention. Your aunt and uncle must be very satisfied, right?"
He Mei smiled helplessly, "Of course I'm satisfied! But not because of the marriage arrangement, but because he can keep me in check. With him around, I won't act recklessly."
Li Wanqing laughed even louder, "Someone should keep an eye on you, otherwise you'd probably fall into a fire pit."
He Mei was stunned. Lu Wei's disgusting face flashed through her mind, and she immediately felt goosebumps.
"Ugh... stop talking about it." She rubbed her arms, looking disgusted. "I heard the eldest son of the Cheng family crippled him?"
She heard about the incident when the eldest son of the Cheng family beat someone up when she came back, but she didn't pay much attention to it at the time.
Two days ago, Cheng Zhenxing returned to the village, and everyone was talking about it. She overheard a bit of it and was quite shocked.
Li Wanqing nodded slightly, her expression somewhat complicated. "I heard that he has woken up, but it seems like there's something wrong with his mind. He's been in a daze all day and I don't know what he's saying."
He Mei sighed upon hearing this, "Why is that? With Lu Wei's cowardice, daring to fight with someone is really surprising to me."
Speaking of this, Li Wanqing was even more speechless. She sighed and said, "Can you believe they did it because of a woman?"
He Mei's eyes widened in disbelief. "A woman?"
Lu Wei is one thing, but after breaking up with him, he definitely found someone else immediately.
But what's going on with the eldest son of the Cheng family? Wasn't he already married and had grown children?
“It’s probably because of the cotton mill,” Li Wanqing guessed. “He didn’t want to be punished by the cotton mill, so he wanted to take a shortcut.”
"Two men and one woman bumped into each other, and the two men started fighting after a disagreement."
No matter what, the eldest son of the Cheng family is from a peasant background. How could he possibly be defeated by someone like Lu Wei, who is just a weakling?
He Mei's mouth gaped open, wide enough to fit an egg. "Which woman is that? So amazing?"
Li Wanqing lowered her voice and said mysteriously, "The daughter of the cotton mill director who got divorced and came back home. I heard she's incredibly beautiful and has two men completely infatuated with her."
Upon hearing this, He Mei couldn't help but sigh, "The relationships between men and women in the cotton mill are truly chaotic! I'd heard before that the atmosphere there was bad. Now it seems that the rumors are indeed true."
But then again, that woman is really something. She actually managed to get two men to fight over her.
He Mei looked at Li Wanqing with a gossipy expression, "Zhao Chunhua went back to the village yesterday and said she wants to marry the eldest son of the Cheng family. Do you think they'll be able to get a divorce?"
Li Wanqing was slightly surprised. "That's beyond my control, but I guess she won't get a divorce. The Zhao family won't let her divorce; they'll probably want something in return."
He Mei thought for a moment and then felt a headache coming on. "Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore. Anyway, it's none of our business."
“By the way,” He Mei suddenly asked, “why did you decide to do business with Fan Hua?”
She was utterly shocked when she heard about it.
