C137 Visiting
As I listened to the conversation between Meng Shuzhen and Ou Jia Rui, I felt that the brain circuits of men and women were indeed different. To a man, a person who thought that the white lotus was the same as a white lotus was most likely soft and gentle, pure and pure.
On the other side, Meng Shufu had yet to end his performance.
"Fine, as long as Miss Zhou isn't angry. Jia Rui, you really did find a good helper. When I have the chance, I will definitely ask Miss Zhou out for a chat. I believe we will become very good friends." Who wants to be friends with you? I thought to myself.
"There's no need to thank me, it's just a simple task for us. Yao Yao has been really busy lately, if there's a chance in the future, we can talk about it later. I'm driving, so I won't say goodbye to you for now."
Meng Shufu wanted to continue, but he didn't have the time to say anything. He could only give up. "Alright, be careful on the road. Be careful. Goodbye."
I was sulking at the side, blaming Meng Shuzhen for suddenly killing my way back. Blame Ou Jia Rui for treating Meng Shuzhen like a special person even though he knew I minded it. Blame myself for having such a weak mental defense.
"What are you thinking about?" O'Jia Rui asked.
"Nothing, I just think that I look quite similar to this Ms. Meng." Ou Jia Rui immediately understood the meaning behind my words. I remembered what Madame Ou had said. He creased his brows and said, "Do you look like it?" I don't think so. "
I didn't say anything else. Originally, I thought that Meng Shuzhen's words of "thank you in person another day" was just some polite words. I didn't take it to heart with Ou Jia Rui and I.
Life is still the same as before, my studio has finally passed the preparation period and officially started operating. Due to the low level of advertising in the earlier period, it didn't attract much attention, only a single order was received in the third day of opening, but I was still quite satisfied. The number of orders in the earlier period was relatively small, which gave me a chance to slowly adapt.
These past few days, I had been painting my first order of design in the Ou Family. It was a dance art group order, requiring me to design and create three sets of jewelry with different styles to suit different dances. Fortunately, the customer's time requirement wasn't considered urgent.
The studio's name was' Meeting '. It didn't have any deep meaning, it was just used to celebrate the reunion of Meisan and Qin Ling. Lin Zhuo and I also felt that this name was very good.
On the afternoon when Ou Jia Rui went to work, I was concentrating on drawing the blueprints in my room. A servant knocked on the door, "Madam, a young lady came to see you and said she's a friend of you and Mr. Ou. I told her to wait for you in the living room."
My mutual friend, a lady, either Lin Zhuo or Mason, I went downstairs to receive her in my usual homely attire, wearing a large apron to prevent the paint from getting on my body.
It wasn't until they arrived at the living room that they realized that the person sitting on the sofa was Meng Shuwen instead of Mason or Lin Zhuo.
Since I was already here, it wasn't appropriate for me to say that I wasn't. I had no choice but to brace myself and walk over. I took off my apron and handed it to the servant.
As if she wasn't afraid of the cold, Meng was still dressed very coolly today. The two of us looked as if we were living in two different seasons.
"Hello, Madam Meng. Is there anything I can help you with?"
I walked over and gave a token greeting before I sat down on the sofa opposite Meng.
Miss Zhou, you're drawing? I just told Auntie not to disturb you, so I can wait a bit longer, I came here to especially thank you for coming over with Jia Rui to help me that day, and I also heard from Jia Rui that not only did you not mind his help, but you were also willing to follow him.
Meng Shuwen's actions were very sincere, but the words she spoke gave off a very uncomfortable feeling. I always felt that she was here to provoke or demonstrate her might.
"It's alright. It's not easy for Ms. Meng to come to B City by herself. I don't really care about these things." I kept the smirk on my face.
Meng Shufu also smiled and said to me, "That can't be better. I heard that Miss Zhou is also a student of the arts. Then we will have a lot of common topics. I believe that we will become good friends in the future."
"Sigh, I've only just met you. A great painter like you isn't on the same level as me. However, I think it's still very difficult to make us friends." In fact, I'm not used to this kind of people who still smile and maintain their seemingly peaceful relationship, so I'm going to be friends with a girl with a straightforward personality like Mason.
Meng Shufu didn't expect me to reject her so bluntly, so he said, "Why? Do you still mind my relationship with Jia Rui? I admit that we were the most important people to each other in the past few days, but I never thought of changing anything when I came back. I won't interfere with your marriage."
I sneered, "Then may I ask what is the purpose of Lady Meng's trip? I've heard that you've lived a rich and comfortable life all these years, so why did you suddenly want to come to B City to experience the hardships of life?" Perhaps it was due to the difference in age that Meng Shuzhen preferred to play this kind of game of hidden strength, but I wasn't in the mood for it.
B City is also the place where I was born and grew up. Compared to other places, perhaps this is the most suitable place for me to come to. I didn't think of destroying the relationship between you two. Meng Shu's pitiful appearance could easily arouse the sympathy of a man.
I didn't even bother to maintain my smile. "I didn't expect Ms. Meng to still be a person who thinks of old times. I didn't expect that after ten years, you still haven't changed your habit of relying on my husband. I still have things to do.
You treating me like this just means that you treat me like your own family. I am very happy, and I believe that even if you do not want me now, one day, we will become very good friends. Every time Meng Shufu spoke, he would let everyone know that this woman was definitely not someone to be trifled with. I know that in terms of fighting methods, I am definitely not her match.
Right now, I'm only gambling on my own year. In Ou Jia Rui's heart, which one is more important right now?
I turned around with a smile and ordered the servants to bring a glass of candied fruits to my room. Then I said to Meng Shuzhen, "Actually, it's not because of your past with my husband, nor is it because you want to find the Ou family as your backing whenever you run into any trouble. The reason why I don't want to be your friend is actually very simple."
"What's that?" This time, Meng Shuzhen was truly puzzled. Previously, when we were talking, he always used an attitude as if he could read my mind. However, my current attitude made her feel as if she was in the clouds, unable to make heads or tails of it.
"It's because I feel that the two of us aren't of the same generation after all. I'm afraid that there might be a generation gap between us." After I said this, Meng Shufu's face turned pale. Perhaps it was because he had never been mocked so openly before.
I didn't pay any more attention to Meng Shuzhen's reaction and directly went upstairs to continue my design.
I admit that what I just said was a bit harsh, but it was the truth. The age difference between me and Ou Jingyi was only a few years, and there were even some emotional entanglements. Now it seems that the love affair in real life is much more complicated and wonderful than the drama.
According to the servants, after I went upstairs, Meng Shufu didn't leave, but looked around the living room on the first floor for a long time. He even used his camera to take a picture of me and Ou Jia Rui getting married on the wall, and thought that they were good friends of mine.
I smiled and waved my hand. "Go and do what you need to do. You don't need to tell me about this matter. It's just that I'm not very close with this Madam Meng. You can tell her directly to Mister later. As long as she doesn't leave, you can entertain her as if she's a guest."
"Yes, ma'am."
At the same time, I was becoming more and more unsure of whether Ou Jia Rui's promise to me was true or false. On the contrary, ever since I saw Meng Shuzhen's appearance, the scales in my heart have become more and more inclined to believe the words that Madame Ou had spoken to me before.
The design he drew when he was upset was also a mess. He used an earring to draw for an entire afternoon, but he still couldn't find a satisfactory shape. The waste paper thrown away in the trash can even overflowed onto the ground.
Closing his eyes, he saw the faces of Meng Shufu and Ou Jia Rui appearing alternately in front of him.
"Are you going to drink at night?" I sent a message to Mason, who was still at work.
"Sure, but we can't stay all night, I still need to sleep for beauty. What's wrong, darling? Are you in a bad mood? I heard the boss say that the two of you have a good relationship recently. He even planned to give me a vacation in a few days and take me and you to travel together?" Meisan sent me a whole bunch of messages, full of concern.
I also quickly replied, "That's right. I was in a good mood recently, so I was drawing a design at home this afternoon. Meng Shuzhen came to my house and said that she wanted to be my friend. How annoying."
"Oh my god, so what? She wants to be admitted into the classroom? I'll pick you up from work at the Ou Family. Wait for me!" Mason had always been especially honest, and every time I was hurt she was the one who comforted me, even after she fell in love with Qin Xin.
