Mid May.
Ten acres of land in Futian, many delicious restaurants.
The divided small dining tables are surrounded by green potted plants, and the air cooler is blowing, sending bursts of cool breeze. The courtyard-style layout has a unique flavor in a jungle of steel and cement.
Luo Yan glanced at the dishes on the table.
Thai yellow curry deep-sea prawns, Indian dry-fried chicken curry, Tom Yum Goong, green papaya salad, sweet mango sticky rice, and a basin of lemon seabass in sour soup.
In the past, I always felt that Thai food had a strange taste, but today this restaurant is good. Except for Tom Yum Kung, I still can't drink it. The green papaya salad and lemon seabass in sour soup are both very suitable to her taste, especially the latter, which has a chopstick of fish. , dip some sour soup into your mouth, the taste is sour and refreshing...
Of course, eating is not the focus for her, although the two people opposite are eating quite happily, and they really look like a young married couple.
She looked at Lin Yue who was helping her mother pick up the food. She opened her mouth several times about this cheap godfather and swallowed it back several times because she didn't want to disturb this family dinner that might seem perverted to outsiders.
Godfather?
Their relationship is now much closer than that of a godfather and a goddaughter.
Therefore, she really didn't know what to say about what happened to Aoma Group and Duan Jiabao's current situation, but she shouldn't. As a close friend, she felt guilty.
Last year, Aoma Group caused heated discussions due to intellectual property issues and inappropriate remarks by its chairman, and its stock price plummeted. It has just improved in the past six months. Now the EU has issued a sky-high fine of 200 million euros on the grounds of low-price dumping. If the company pays This money will definitely strain the group. If it does not pay it, it will lose the most from the external market. Coupled with the impact of the Sino-US trade war and tense relations with Australia, the operating situation is not optimistic.
At this moment, someone reported Auma Group’s tax evasion to the tax department in real name, and provided detailed financial transaction records and relevant evidence. This suddenly triggered a crisis of trust in Aoma Group. Dealers returned goods, partners collected debts, and upstream The manufacturer demanded to pay the commercial bills in advance... Straws fell one by one, which finally crushed Aoma Group. After seeking an extension of the debt due in May to no avail, Duan's father had to submit a bankruptcy application to the court.
A multi-billion-dollar company collapsed just like that. Not only did not a single brother company lend a helping hand, but local departments also chose to stand by and watch. The most common reaction among netizens to this sanitary ware company that licked foreigners and closed down because it lost the EU market was: He clapped his hands and said that Duan's father licked her until he had nothing left.
People with simple minds have very simple ideas, while those with impure minds think more. Why is it that a company that can earn foreign exchange is done? Is there really a domestic company that can replace Auma Group in the EU market in the future?
Of course, this is not what Luo Yan wants to consider. She just wants to know if Lin Yue did this, because her intuition tells her that it has nothing to do with him.
"Zhao Changming came to see you yesterday?"
Lin Yue's question interrupted her random thoughts. When she heard that it was about her mother and Zhao Changming, she quickly gathered her mood and listened attentively.
Wei Yunjie nodded: "That's right."
"What did he say?"
"He asked me why I hadn't contacted him during this period, and whether I was worried about the negative impact of external suspicion on me. He also said that he had already negotiated with Qu Wan and would go through the divorce procedures when Zhao Cheng entered university."
"Does this mean that I want to go further with you?"
"Um."
"How did you answer him?"
"I said this was the last time I would see him and there would be no future. He didn't understand and asked me why I treated him like this, so I showed him a photo and told him that I would be a mother early next year and that I didn't have time. I don’t have the energy to think about those messy things anymore.”
"Didn't he ask whose child it was?"
"When I asked, I said it was mine and yours. He turned the table over and left without looking back."
Wei Yunjie sighed heavily when she said this, looking quite guilty.
However, Luo Yan knew that guilt was guilt. As a mother with a strong sense of responsibility, there was no possibility of turning back. The only thing she could do was to draw a clear line with Zhao Changming and concentrate on raising her and Lin Yue's child, her younger brother. .
Previously, this cheap godfather said that there was a way for Wei Yunjie to voluntarily break off contact with Zhao Changming, without the possibility of rekindling the old relationship, and for Wei Yunjie to live a happy and fulfilling life. She didn't believe it at first, until he told the detailed steps, She was also given a few days to think about it.
Finally, she compromised and agreed.
And this method is very simple... give her a younger brother.
According to Lin Yue, in order to fight fire with fire and let her know that she was not her parents' creditor, he and Wei Yunjie planned to go abroad to find a prostitution agency and then witness the emergence of her younger brother or sister. Of course, if her daughter is really stubborn, she will most likely consider practicing another trumpet.
Now Wei Yunjie's body is still kept in that institution. As long as the money is in place, a phone call will be made... Will Wei Yunjie choose Zhao Changming or this child after knowing this scene?
What's more, the child's father is him.
That’s right, it’s about cooking raw rice into cooked rice.
Luo Yan had seen photos of Wei Yunjie holding her as a child more than once before and lamented that her daughter had grown up and would no longer be as obedient and obedient as before and would always cling to her.
Given Wei Yunjie's love for children, who would she choose? Needless to say?
Moreover, no matter how much Zhao Changming licks the dog, it is impossible for him to raise Lin Yue's child.
Luo Yan sympathized with Zhao Changming a little. If I could describe it in one sentence...losing his wife and losing his troops? No, it should be said that this childlike old demon was reduced to ashes in a matter of seconds.
So this time we ate at Manyue Restaurant, it was really a family dinner.
The cheap godfather opposite, even if he is not a stepdad, is the father of her younger brother... The key is that her mother said that in order to avoid embarrassment, the three of them had their own affairs. Unfortunately, her mother didn't know that she called that peer in private. I have been a father many times, although it is quite embarrassing every time.
On the other side, the conversation between Wei Yunjie and Lin Yue continued.
"I have a question to ask you about Dingsheng Group's debt restructuring case."
"What's the problem? Tell me."
"You were the one who introduced Junhao to Mr. Lu in Changsheng, right?"
At Dingsheng Investment, a gambling agreement failed before, and later the boss got involved because of illegal fund-raising, leaving a debt relationship. Now multiple creditors have submitted debt restructuring applications to the court, and Junhao, where she works, has also been hired Joining the pie-sharing party, she had a strange feeling as more corporate data was revealed and the more she learned about the creditor situation.
Lin Yue said: "That's right, the wealth should not flow to outsiders."
"Sure enough, it's you." Wei Yunjie said: "It's not just that the wealth does not go to outsiders. If I guessed correctly, you must be behind the long-term prosperity."
"Oh, you are so smart. Being the biological father of your child will be very stressful for me." Seeing that she didn't smile at all, Lin Yue could only shrug and said truthfully: "You shouldn't say it about me, you should say it's Lao Su." Sum of Pulling Capital.”
"Is there a difference?"
"have."
"Does it matter?"
"unimportant."
Wei Yunjie said: "What do you want to do?"
Lin Yue said: "It's very simple. Pulling Capital wants the original shares of Weishi Home held by Dingsheng."
Wei Yunjie put down the chopsticks she had been holding in her hand, frowned and thought for a while, and finally realized: "Pu Ling wants to obtain the original shares of Weishi Home at a low price through debt restructuring? In other words, do you think Weishi Home Furnishing Will Home Furnishing’s share price rise?”
“Isn’t it normal to have ups and downs?”
Lin Yue said it lightly, but the listeners were shocked.
On the way here just now, he told him about Zhao Changming's investment in Puling to provoke him.
Now the result is this.
Qu Wan and Zhao Changming have reached a divorce agreement; she has also drawn a clear line with Zhao Changming; Weishi Home's stock price broke on the first day of listing and is still at a low level; Zhao Changming's partner Li Dongqing was imprisoned, and Dingsheng Investment went bankrupt; At this time, Pu Ling obtained the original shares of Weishi Home at a low price by controlling Changsheng, and either made a fortune when the stock price rebounded, or forced Zhao Changming to repurchase the shares at the negotiated price, forcing Weishi Home into bankruptcy, reorganization or founding. The person is out and takes another bite.
This is the price of gaining Pu Ling's reputation, and this is the consequence of playing tricks with him.
Killing someone is also heart-wrenching, this guy is really vicious and cunning.
Wei Yunjie mourned for Zhao Changming in her heart. After all, he was a business partner who had been working together for many years, and he could also be considered an ex-boyfriend. Just because he offended the father of her unborn child, he was pushed into a desperate situation step by step. This is really...
Alas~
The mother and daughter were each thinking about their own things, and they even lost their appetite for food.
"Hey, stone?"
The call from the side pulled Luo Yan's consciousness back from the messy parent-child relationship. She felt that the voice was so familiar. When her eyes swept over the approaching person, she couldn't help but froze. They were really familiar ----- -Her ex-boyfriend Lu Ran!
The two of them had not seen each other since they had a falling out over the guarantee letter in the self-study class. They didn't expect that the cheap daddy would bring them here to eat Thai food and they would meet him.
"Lu Ran? What a coincidence."
Luo Yan stood up unconsciously.
"You come here to eat too." Lu Ran tried his best to appear calm.
"Haha, yes, you are..."
"Oh, today isn't my birthday. My parents took me out for a dinner."
Luo Yan looked at the middle-aged man and woman standing beside him: "Happy birthday."
"Thanks."
"By the way, aren't you going to take the postgraduate entrance examination? How's it going?"
"My grades were average and I didn't get admitted to the Central Finance and Economics School."
"Don't be discouraged, keep working hard." Luo Yan smiled awkwardly at him.
"What about you, how are you doing lately?" Lu Ran asked this time.
"I now work for a travel agency, leading tour groups from Hong Kong."
"That's very good."
Only then did he shift his attention from Luo Yan's face to the two people across the dining table.
"Hello, aunt..."
He stopped mid-sentence and stared blankly at the person next to Wei Yunjie. Isn't it difficult for Luo Yan to accept that someone named Lin is with her mother? Why are we actually eating at the same table now?
He looked over questioningly.
Luo Yan knew what he wanted to ask, but she just pursed her lips and said nothing.
Lu Ran's mother knew Lin Yue, but she didn't understand his relationship with Wei Yunjie. Lu Ran's father didn't even know him. At most, he had heard the name "Lin Yue" from his wife.
"Hello, I am Lu Ran's father."
Now that the juniors know each other, it is a bit inappropriate to stand aside and say nothing as an adult. Lu Ran's father shook hands with Wei Yunjie as if he was working in the unit: "You are Luo Yan's mother, I remember... you are in Junhao Lawyer Are you a lawyer in a firm?"
Wei Yunjie smiled and said, "That's right."
She didn't know that Lu Ran and Luo Yan had talked about being friends, and she didn't know much about the situation of the Lu family. She could only deduce the relationship between the two from the changes in her daughter's expression.
"Who is this……"
Lu Ran's father turned to look at Lin Yue. He had been curious about this person just now. Judging from the age, he was about the same age as Lu Ran. If he was Luo Yan's boyfriend, or his cousin, there was no reason to be with Wei Yunjie. Sit together.
"Hello, I am Luo Yan's father."
What?
dad?
Lu Ran, Lu Ran's father, Lu Ran's mother, the family of three had smiles frozen on their faces.
There is only one word to describe the thoughts of Lu Ran's mother and Lu Ran's father, and that is "weird". This lawyer Wei is really good. He found someone who is the same age as his daughter and is an alumnus to get married. He is not afraid of being poked by others. Go back to your bones and say that she is an old cow eating young grass?
Regarding Lu Ran, he was more concerned about Luo Yan's attitude. He was shocked that she just looked at him with an embarrassed look on her face, but did not refute. She seemed to have accepted the setting that Lin Yue was her father from the bottom of her heart. This... or that A stone that does not rub sand in its eyes?
"Stone? Is this real?"
Luo Yan said nothing and looked away.
"say something."
Lu Ran's mother noticed that something was wrong with her son's mood, as if he still had thoughts about his ex-girlfriend. In order not to lose his temper or be embarrassed, she quickly pushed her husband from behind and pulled Lu Ran away.
"Haha, I won't disturb your family's meal."
Lu Ran's father also tried his best to keep a smile on his face, said "goodbye", and left after his wife.
Lin Yue said very kindly: "Let's go now? Why don't we eat something together? Their lemon seabass in sour soup is very good."
"No, no."
Lu Ran's father said it politely, but his heart was filled with ten thousand alpacas.
The three of them sat down again. Wei Yunjie looked at her daughter, who looked unnatural, and then at the child's father, who looked like he was smiling but not smiling: "What's going on with you guys...?"
Lin Yue said: "Ask Luo Yan."
"Yanyan..."
"Mom, can you please stop asking?"
"What's there to say?" Lin Yue said, "That Lu Ran is her ex-boyfriend."
"..."
Now Wei Yunjie understood. No wonder she always felt that the atmosphere between her daughter and the boy was a bit strange. It was not like an ordinary school relationship. It turned out that the two had been friends.
"Yanyan, do you still like him?"
Luo Yan shook her head: "Mom, it's all over."
"If you still like..."
Before Wei Yunjie finished speaking, Lin Yue smiled coldly: "It's impossible."
"Why?"
"Luo Yan... tell your mother."
Luo Yan lowered her head and stirred the soup in front of her with a spoon: "Lu Ran doesn't want to deal with him."
Wei Yunjie understood. No wonder he spoke so sarcastically just now. It turned out that the two of them had a feud. If Lu Ran and Luo Yan got back together, what would they call Lin Yue when they saw him? Uncle or dad? It would be strange not to run away from this situation.
"You are too..."
She stopped talking in the middle of the sentence and could only shake her head helplessly. Thinking about this guy's consistent style and full of sexy tricks, when the Lu Ran family came here to eat and met him, they could only say that it was a bad year and they forgot to read the almanac when they went out. .
Lin Yue changed the lemon fish in sour soup that was close to him to Luo Yan: "Don't worry about it. If you lose your boyfriend, you can find him again, but you can't find your relatives."
Luo Yan: "..."
This tone, this tone...
This guy took her and her mother to dinner, not only to make a cooked meal out of his brother's bowl of raw rice, but also to make a mature meal out of the father-daughter relationship, right?
If the guess is true, is the meeting with Lu Ran's family really a coincidence? Or is Lu Ran just a fire for cooking?
"Yanyan?"
Wei Yunjie couldn't understand that her daughter, who had always been willful and stubborn and never looked back even if she hit the wall, now recognized the reality and learned to accommodate her, actually became so obedient and obedient in front of him, without any edge?
Did anything happen between them?
