Does he think Daocheng is more romantic or the sex suite is more romantic? But for such a polite person, he should simply mean romantic scenery, right?
Meng Yu said, "Does Mr. Chu like Daocheng?"
"I can't say I like it, I just think it looks more romantic."
"......"
But the decision is yours. If you like Provence, we will go to Provence."
Meng Yu felt that if she wanted to choose between Daocheng and Provence, she would rather choose Provence. Meng Yu thought for a while and said, "Then let's go to Provence."
"Okay."
The location was decided, Meng Yu stood up, "Then I will go upstairs first."
As she was about to leave, Chu Xiujin said again, "You will accompany me to a banquet tomorrow, the other party invites us to go together."
"Okay." Meng Yu responded, "What kind of banquet is it?"
"It's a birthday banquet."
For the birthday banquet, dress conservatively and low-key. Meng Yu chose a black long-sleeved dress, a bit like a ballet skirt with a long skirt. The upper body is very slim and the figure is contoured. The lower body is a pleated skirt, which has a good drape and looks very gorgeous.
Chu Xiujin still wears suits and trousers, but this time it is casual, not as formal as going to the company.
The banquet was in a leisure club, which has been booked and added a lot of security.
Before entering, Chu Xiujin bumped her with his elbow lightly. Meng Yu turned her head and took a look. She saw him stretch his elbow towards her, and she looked at him with surprise.
"Huh?" She motioned with her eyes.
Meng Yu understood then she turned her gaze to one side, pretending to be calm and put her arms on his elbow.
These two people are focus-type figures, one is powerful and handsome, the other is tall and beautiful. They immediately attracted the attention of the audience when they walked in..
Chu Xiujin rarely attended such banquets. The Zheng family originally thought he would not come. Seeing Chu Xiujin appeared, the Zheng family was flattered and hurried over to say hello.
The Zheng family is a raw material for automobiles and has a cooperation with Beiyue Automobile. It is also because Beiyue has been involved in it that Many foreign automobile companies have turned to the Zheng family to be the original car factory. Therefore, Beiyue can be said to hold the lifeline of the Zheng family. For Chu Xiujin, the leader of Beiyue, the Zheng family is certainly respectful.
Today’s banquet is Mr. Zheng’s birthday. Mr. Zheng brought his son and his wife to greet Chu Xiujin and his wife.
The birthday banquet is actually more like a gathering in the automobile industry. Many people in Yancheng related to the automobile industry have also been invited to participate, including the Wang family, Wang Weiguo, his wife Qi Mei and his daughter Wang Shuyuan.
After a few people said hello, Qi Mei took Meng Yu's hand and looked her up and down. She smiled satisfied, "Your complexion has improved a lot. It seems that your marriage life is very good. Mom also feels relieved to see you happy"
She and Qi Mei weren't the kind of intimate mother and daughter, but in front of so many people, she still smiled at her.
This time in Mr. Zheng's birthday banquet, the person in charge from Wo Pai also came to participate. Because of Beiyue’s tie-in, the Zheng family became Wo Pai’s raw material foundry a few years ago. The two companies cooperated closely. Of course, Mr. Zheng had to invite each other for his birthday.
The person in charge of Wo Pai Automobile is a Frenchman. Although he works in Germany, he is not quite good at German. He usually communicates in English, so Chu Xiujin introduced him to Meng Yu in fluent English.
Meng Yu shook his hand and was about to say hello to him, but someone said before her, "Hello, Mr. Leon, I am Meng Yu's sister, and my sister is not good at English. I will greet you on her behalf."
Meng Yu frowned and looked at Wang Shuyuan, she heard Wang Shuyuan say again, "I'm sorry to make Mr. Leon laugh, but Mr. Leon also saw it. My sister is a rare beauty, and Mr. Leon also knows that beautiful women always love beauty more than ordinary girls, so most of her time in school is spent on makeup and ignoring her homework. The family also hired an English tutor for her, but she has not been able to learn well, and I hope Mr. Leon will not mind.”
Wang Shuyuan seemed to be helping her to speak, boasting that she was a great beauty, and helped her apologize to Mr. Leon because she was not fluent in English. Secretly, she was telling everyone that Meng Yu was a big idiot who only knew about beauty and she couldn't learn well even if she hired a tutor, so that now Chu Xiujin's wife went out to socialize but she couldn't even speak English.
In fact, Wang Shuyuan's purpose is not only to let everyone know that Meng Yu is an ignorant person, but also to tell Chu Xiujin how that wife he chose just to be seen could only embarrass him.
Wang Shuyuan's words made everyone a little embarrassed, especially Mr. Leon, who didn't know how to answer it. Wang Shuyuan chatted with Mr. Leon on some other topics about her insights on automobiles and the prospect of domestic engine technology. She talked freely, showing the charm of a socialite.
Wang Shuyuan said that she is a person of ignorance, but she still graduated from a top domestic university anyway. Although she is not an ace major, and she is only one or two points higher than the admission line, in Wang Shuyuan's view, she is very lucky. She always felt that she had achieved such a high score in the college entrance examination by luck.
Meng Yu has been suppressed by Wang Shuyuan in the Wang family. She can't be too prominent, she can't be outstanding, and only one Wang Shuyuan is good in the Wang family.
She still remembers that when she was in junior high school, she went home with a certificate for her excellent grades, but her mother was not happy about it, and said a lot of words to her earnestly. She told her to study hard in class, but don't be so serious when taking exams. She doesn't expect her to be a pillar of society, she only hopes that she can be an ordinary person and live a peaceful life.
Bullshit! In fact, it was because Wang Shuyuan felt uncomfortable seeing her getting the certificate and lost her temper. At that time, Wang Shuyuan was not very accepting of her stepmother, so she had to consider her everywhere. Although Wang Shuyuan didn't say it clearly, Qi Mei knew that Wang Shuyuan was upset when she saw Meng Yu got the award. She didn't want Meng Yu to be better than her, or she hoped that Meng Yu was a person who was not as good as her except for her beauty.
The most her mother said to her since she was a child was to give in to Wang Shuyuan because they were eating from the Wang family and living in the Wang family. She was able to go to school and eat because of the Wang family. This is what they owe Wang Shuyuan, she can't support her alone, they can only depend on the Wang family, so she must let Wang Shuyuan have everything.
She can't be good, she'd better be an ordinary person with only beauty, and only her being ordinary can bring out Wang Shuyuan's excellence.
However, she is no longer in Wang's house now and she has also paid back the favor of Wang's family to Wang Shuyuan by marrying Chu Xiujin. She no longer owes them anymore, so why should she give in to Wang Shuyuan.
"Mr. Leon, my sister doesn't like me, so she likes to belittle me in front of outsiders, but she obviously doesn't understand me..." Meng Yu finished talking and spread her hands at Mr. Leon.
Mr. Leon's eyes lit up. He certainly felt cordial when he heard someone speaking his native language. His face was excited, "Ms. Chu speaks French so well?"
"I have studied since I was young, so I have no problem communicating."
"But why doesn't your sister like you?"
"My mother is her stepmother, she is not my real sister, and she is very jealous, she does not allow me to be better than her."
Leon looked at Wang Shuyuan with complicated eyes and said to Meng Yu, "I really feel sorry for you."
"It doesn't matter."
The two spoke in French throughout the whole process and Wang Shuyuan didn't understand at all. However, when Mr. Leon's meaningful eyes swept at her, she saw it. You don't have to think about it to know that Meng Yu must have said something bad about her.
However, she didn't even know what she said.
Also... Is she French? Why does she speak French? When did she learn to speak French?
Meng Yu and Mr. Leon talked and laughed freely, and Wang Shuyuan even saw his admiration for Meng Yu in Leon’s eyes.
Wang Shuyuan gradually tightened her fingers holding the wine glass.
The conversation between Meng Yu and Leon came to an end. Leon turned to Wang Shuyuan and said, "It seems that you don't know your sister, she is very talented."
He spoke in English and most of the people present could understand it.
The corner of Wang Shuyuan's mouth twitched and she smiled pretentiously, "Really?" She glanced at Meng Yu with a smile, "I never knew that my sister is so talented, I'm so happy for her." She finished. Raised a toast to Leon and Chu Xiujin, "Sorry, i will excuse myself first."
After Wang Shuyuan left, Chu Xiujin lowered his head and asked Meng Yu in her ear, "Do you know French?"
She was not very close, but His warm breath swept across her ears. Meng Yu felt her whole body stiff. She adjusted her breathing to stay calm and answered, "I can not only speak French, but also German, English and Japanese."
"So smart?"
Meng Yu tried her best to ignore the heat that Chu Xiujin was blowing in her ears and said, "My grandma spent time in France and Germany when she was young, so she taught me French and German when I was very young, But she passed away shortly after my father passed away. Because I have been studying since childhood, there is no problem with normal communication. Later, after I went to university, I chose Japanese as a major, as well as German and French, so German and French have not been left behind. As for English, I started to learn it from elementary school, so it's certainly good."
"It seems that Mr. Leon is right. Your sister really doesn't know you."
Of course she doesn't know her. Actually, Wang Shuyuan sometimes lives only for herself too much. She only believes what she is willing to believe. She only wants to believe that Meng Yu is a person who is inferior to her in every way. How can she carefully discover her language talent?
Wang Shuyuan really didn’t expect Meng Yu to speak fluent French. She looked at Meng Yu who was chatting and laughing with Chu Xiujin, the Zheng family, and Mr. Leon. She was humble and polite but not unreasonable. The person who could only live under her light before is so dazzling now.
Wang Shuyuan has been a frequent visitor to banquets since she was a child, but Meng Yu rarely attends banquets. Inexperience will inevitably appear clumsy. She thought she would be ridiculous like a nouveau riche when she suddenly married Chu Xiujin and became a wealthy wife. But she is like a fish in water, coping with ease.
On the contrary, it was her (Wang Shuyuan), Just because there was a big oolong just now she could only stand outside the crowd.
(T/N : a big oolong (个大乌龙) means messing things up, making mistakes, and arrogant.)
When on earth did Meng Yu learn French. She looked at Qi Mei again, Qi Mei did not seem to be surprised, but was relieved because of her daughter's ease.
The mother and daughter are really low-key, so low-key that they are annoying.
Wang Shuyuan burst into anger from her heart.
At this moment, her cell phone rang. Wang Shuyuan picked it up and saw that it was Yan Wenwen.
She picked it up, and Yan Wenwen rushed to her on the other end, "It's done, Zheng Yu is now on the way back to the banquet. It should be within a few minutes."
Wang Shuyuan nodded, "You did a good job."
She hung up the phone and sneered. She hadn't forgotten the last time Meng Yu forced her to apologize by relying on Chu Xiujin's power. How could she not ask for revenge after such an insult.
Zheng Yu is the grandson of Mr. Zheng, who is the same age as Meng Yu. They both are in the same school for junior and high schools, but they are not in the same class. Because the Zheng family and the Wang family are somewhat related to the Xia family, they also have contacts. Zheng Yu has a good relationship with Wang Shuyuan and Yan Wenwen. They have also visited the Wang family before. However, Meng Yu and Zheng Yu are not familiar with each other, so she didn’t know that Zheng Yu, who looked like the shy and introverted person on weekdays, seemed to be a different person after drinking, and she didn’t know that drunk Zheng Yu would talk nonsense, such as calling her name over and over again.
Zheng Yu likes Meng Yu. This is something that both Wang Shuyuan and Yan Wenwen know.
As Zheng Yu's family, Mr. Zheng and Zheng Yu's parents certainly know that Zheng Yu likes to talk nonsense when he drinks, and the talk was about things related to Meng Yu.
After the Zheng family knew that Zheng Yu had a secret love for Meng Yu, they didn't do anything. In their opinion, Meng Yu was just the stepdaughter of the Wang family, unworthy of her identity, but now it is different for Meng Yu has become Chu Xiujin's wife.
So today Mr. Zheng sternly warned Zheng Yu not to drink.
However, Zheng Yu is already an adult. Even though Mr. Zheng Mr Zheng could not watch over him alone and had people watch over him. In a blink of an eye, Zheng Yu disappeared. When he came back, he was already very drunk.
In fact, he actually does not drink that much, but he doesn't know how to drink, and he gets drunk with a touch liquor.
Zheng Yu stumbled back to the banquet and saw the girl at a glance, the girl he hid in his heart and didn't dare to say anything.
He grinned, like an idiot, he seemed to be unable to see the people around him, only to see her standing there gracefully.
He ran to her quickly and didn't care when he hit someone on the way.
"Meng Yu, Meng Yu..." He called her name foolishly.
Mr. Zheng’s daughter-in-law first saw Zheng Yu. She was shocked when she saw him like this. She rushed to support him, and sternly said, "Didn’t they tell you not to drink?"
Zheng Yu seemed to have not seen her. He stared at Meng Yu and called her, "Meng Yu, Meng Yu."
Other people naturally noticed such a big movement.
Zheng Yu’s mother hurriedly covered her son’s mouth. She called the security guards and asked them to help take him down. However, Zheng Yu, who was drunk, pulled away his mother’s hand with brute force and said to Meng Yu, "Meng Yu, Why don’t you like me? Why don’t you want to look at me when you go to bed with so many men?"
Zheng Yu’s mother was taken aback, and shouted at him, "Don’t drive me crazy, go back quickly."
Zheng Yu was carried out by the security guard. He was struggling to speak again. The security hurriedly covered his mouth. Zheng Yu was so angry that he took a bite in his hand. The security temporarily released him from the pain, only to hear Zheng Yu said, "Meng Yu, I don't despise you, no matter how messy your private life is, I won't despise you. No matter how many men you slept with, you are my goddess."
Meng Yu's hands on both sides of her body clenched into fists. She doesn't know Zheng Yu at all, let alone know that Zheng Yu likes her. In her impression, Zheng Yu is a particularly shy boy, even talking to people quietly and softly. She never thought that this shy and restrained boy would yell in public and even said such ugly words.
Meng Yu's reputation in high school was not particularly good because she was beautiful and many boys in the school liked her. She didn't know when the school began to spread the chaos of her private life. It was said that she was riding a few boats, often dating different boys to open houses, and even rumoring that she had aided dating.
High school is the gloomiest time in her life. Wherever she goes, there will be people pointing behind her. Although she is still sunny, no matter how others tell her, she still dresses beautifully every day, with the most beautiful posture appearing in front of people. She looked so calm (The breeze is light, the clouds are light), but no one knew how scared and helpless she was when she was shrouded in shadows. No one knew that in the dead of night, she secretly hid under the blanket and cried hoarsely because of rumors.
(T/N : "The breeze is light, the clouds are light" can also be explained as a free and helpless attitude towards world affairs after experiencing hardship, which is mostly used in feelings.)
Later, when she went to university, she met more people and Xiao Qi. The gloomy days of high school were gradually forgotten by her.
But now, it was as if someone suddenly tore the wound she had finally sewn up and spread it out in front of everyone. When she was alone in high school, she was insulted by others who would always insult her, but now she is married, and her husband is standing beside her, who is also the chairman of Beiyue.
As the wife of the chairman of Beiyue, she has such an unbearable past. People often fall worse when they stand taller. When she was just Meng Yu, she might be able to straighten her back without fearing everyone's eyes, but now she is not just Meng Yu.
Faced with the gazes that came over, she tried to calm herself, and tried to straighten her back.
But her chest seemed to be blocked and she felt like she was almost out of breath.
Why is this happening? It is clear that everything is going for the better. She has left the Wang family, Her husband treated her well, and when she went to social occasions, everyone respected her. Her life was obviously getting better. Why is it like this?
She felt a violent tremor in her calf, her feet went soft and she was about to fall to sit down, but a hand supported her in time.
She looked at him subconsciously, Chu Xiujin stared at the front with a cold face and said, "Mr. Zheng, give me an account of this matter as soon as possible."
After he finished speaking, he turned his head and asked her "Can you walk?"
She opened her mouth but couldn't make a sound.
"Excuse me."
When his voice fell, he bent down and hugged her sideways. The people around immediately gave way.
His strong arms are holding her steadily and leaning on his warm chest gradually calms her heart.
