Chapter 596 Don’t talk about speculation
Wang Lingzhi took a taxi back to the compound where he lived. The taxi registered the number plate before entering the compound and sent him to the downstairs of his house. He asked the driver to wait. Go upstairs by yourself.
Climbing to the unit building where he lived, Wang Lingzhi opened the door and saw that the guest room was empty. He heard the rustling sound coming from his daughter's bedroom. He hurriedly ran to take a look and saw his wife rummaging through boxes and cabinets. , making a mess, shouted loudly: "What are you doing?"
Suddenly, Ma Mengting was so frightened that she almost jumped up. She turned around and saw Wang Er, and scolded her in a louder voice. Past: "Are you blind? Didn't you see that I was helping Yuxuan look for clothes? She was taken away, so I have to give her something."
"Stop looking, come with me. Ask my mother to go to Yan Xing to intercede. As long as Yan Xing doesn't hold her accountable, Yuxuan can come back the same day she goes in." Wang Lingzhi didn't think too much, turned around and left.
"...I'm going to wash my face and change my clothes." When she heard that she was going to her daughter's grandparents, Ma Mengting subconsciously wanted to object but said no, but she reacted quickly and agreed.
Wang Er’s father has never looked at her in the eye. They used to live together, and she was also criticized for her low eyebrows and submissiveness. After finally living separately, she became the master. In order not to get rid of her father-in-law’s anger in vain. Shou, normally she wouldn't go back to her parents-in-law's house to find Boring. If she didn't go at this time, it would be easier for people to accuse her of being cruel and not even caring about her daughter. Even if she didn't like her father-in-law, she still had to go to her father-in-law's house for a formality.
"Why should I wash my face? It's better to go like this. When you see my mother, you can cry as much as you want. My mother loves Yuxuan the most. She can't bear to let Yuxuan be wronged on weekdays, let alone I would be willing to let Yuxuan stay in that kind of place."
Wang Lingzhi glanced at Ma Mengting and thought it was good. Ma Mengting was wearing ordinary home clothes, her long hair was messed up, and her makeup was too wet Hua, he looked very embarrassed. Only being embarrassed and miserable can show his misery, and it can also arouse his mother's sympathy.
Ma Mengting understood, she smoothed her hair casually, took only her handbag, no makeup or face wash, followed Wang Lingzhi downstairs with a pair of slippers, and got into the rental car.
Wait for the guest’s taxi to pick up the person, leave the compound, and go straight to the designated place. Wait until the retired dignitaries live in the compound. Taxis cannot enter and park outside the door. .
Wang Lingzhi, Ma Mengting and his wife hurriedly entered the compound and almost reached the place where the Wang family lived. They ran for a while until they were out of breath. They knocked on the door and shouted: "Mom, Mom -"< br />
The nanny hurriedly opened the door when she heard the knock on the door. She saw it was the second master and the second wife, especially the second wife’s face covered with scars. She was startled and hurriedly let people into the living room.
"Mom, Mom, save Yuxuan -" Ma Mengting howled as she walked.
"Second wifeTai, the old lady is out. "The nanny was frightened by the second wife's howling.
"Out...out? "Ma Mengting's howling stopped suddenly, she was terribly embarrassed.
"Yes, the old lady answered the phone and went out. Second wife, I'll get you water. You wash your face first. "The nanny was also a little embarrassed and quickly found something to do.
Wang Lingzhi originally wanted to ask the nanny not to fetch water to wash Ma Mengting's face, but felt that doing so was too obvious, so he did not stop her and took Ma Mengting into her parents' place to wait. .
The nanny gave the second wife warm water to wash her face, and brought melons, fruits and candies to the second master and his wife.
The things in the old man’s house were all high-end goods, and Ma Mengting hadn’t eaten yet. His stomach was a little empty, so he started eating without any courtesy, picking out the most expensive things and stuffing them into his mouth, as if he was afraid of losing money.
Wang Lingzhi ate most of his lunch, but he was not hungry. He was thinking about his daughter. He had no intention of eating the dirty money he had transferred for Zhao Zongze, and was eagerly waiting for news about his mother.
There are many courtyards in the capital, and there are eight if not ten courtyards where high-ranking cadres live. Mrs. Wang took a taxi directly to the official compound where Mr. Chao lived. When she got to the door, she walked to the door and asked the guard which building and room Mr. Chao lived in and how to get there.
Follow the guard’s instructions and enter. I went to the courtyard and asked for directions. It took me some effort to find the place where Mr. Chao lived. The small single-family building looked vibrant, clean and beautiful under the sunlight.
Old Mrs. Wang Walking towards the small building, when she got closer, she found that the door of the small building was open, and there was soft music coming from the house. It was not a record, but pure music, with a gentle and gentle melody.
She walked to At the door, looking inside, the furniture is neatly arranged and spotlessly clean. The light-colored curtains and light-colored furniture make people very comfortable.
The relatively spacious area near the window in the living room is On a mat, two ladies in white exercise clothes were practicing yoga. Following the rhythm of light music, every movement was very graceful.
You probably heard the sound of high heels approaching, and the two women A lady who was practicing yoga for the elderly turned to look at the door and was slightly surprised to see an elderly lady wearing a skirt.
"Hello, who are you looking for? "Aunt Ge saw a guest coming, but before she could see his face clearly, she finished her yoga and politely got up to receive the guest.
Old Mrs. Chao had already recognized who the guest was, and from her perspective, she could Seeing most of the face of the guest at the door, just... what did she come for?
Seeing the visitor, Mrs. Chao was not happy, so she finished an exercise slowly and then He stretched his arms and legs calmly and prepared to finish the exercise.
"I am the mother of the mayor of Beijing, and I am here to visit Mr. Chao and Mrs. Chao. "Old Mrs. WangSeeing the middle-aged and elderly lady who finished yoga first, she introduced herself first.
"It's Mrs. Wang, please come in," Aunt Ge suddenly realized. She looked at the guests and spoke to the old lady with a smile: "Old lady, Mrs. Wang is here."
"Old Mrs. Chao is at home, and she also practices yoga. Her body is really soft." Mrs. Wang is familiar with her, and she took the initiative to get close to her as she entered Chao's house.
"Excellent. We little people also practice yoga and activities. Like Mrs. Wang, who runs around at the banquets of the upper-class dignitaries every day, it can increase our knowledge and exercise, right? It's hard for Mrs. Wang to do these small exercises. Today, there is someone who condescends to visit a small family like ours, Lao Chao's." Mrs. Chao stood up unhurriedly and took the He put the towel in the bamboo basket on the small bench aside and hung it on his face and hands, and replied with a smile on his face.
Because she is the wife of a high-ranking official, Mrs. Wang’s eyes have always been at the top of her head. Even after Mr. Wang retired, she was very concerned about face. She always waited for others to come to her home to compliment her, but generally did not accept them. I won't go to other people's homes for fear of lowering her style and identity.
She doesn’t go to the Eight Treasures Palace for anything. The old lady of the Wang family has never taken the initiative to interact with the Chao family, but she suddenly "visited" today. In all likelihood, she has some intentions, and she must be self-interested. .
She didn’t like the old lady of the Wang family, especially when she brought the granddaughter of the Wang family with her surname Zhao at the old man’s banquet last year. She also felt unhappy. Old lady Chao was also a vengeful person and was not prepared to give more face. , openly sarcastic and subtly sarcastic.
Mrs. Wang’s face became hot when her master choked her, but she wanted to ask for help. She didn’t want to return in vain, let alone follow the footsteps of the He family again. She pretended not to hear the sarcasm: "Old Mrs. Chao is joking, I am just an old lady with long hair and short knowledge. Please don't blame me for the things I offended in the past."
"Some things can be treated as if they didn't happen, and some things are principled. It's impossible for me to forget." Mrs. Chao didn't want to be kidnapped by morality. She put a towel around her neck, casually walked to the sofa and sat down first, which best represented the host. She greeted her casually without making an appointment or calling her, so she was rash. An uninvited guest from the missing house: "Old Mrs. Wang, please have a seat."
The old lady of the Chao family obviously didn't want to see her, and the old lady Wang was ashamed and angry. She was under someone else's roof, and she couldn't smear her master's face. , walked over and sat down.
After Aunt Ge got up, she washed her hands and poured tea for the old lady of the Wang family. Then she served some pumpkin seeds and dried dates. She opened the refrigerator and cut the iced watermelon into four small pieces and put it on the small coffee table to entertain guests.
With Ge Mei helping to make tea, Mrs. Chao held up the tea and politely greeted the guests to drink tea, taking a few sips.
Old Mrs. Wang drank her tea patiently, and after holding it in for a while, she politely asked: "Is Mr. Chao not at home?"
"My old man went to the institute to give lectures to a group of students. What does Mrs. Wang have to do with my old man? My old man is a poor intellectual. He has no power and no money. He is rigid and stubborn. He doesn't know how to do it. Change, Old Mrs. Wang came to my house specially to find my old man, her trip must have been in vain."
Old Mrs. Chao's words were thorny, and Old Mrs. Wang felt very uncomfortable: "Chao Old lady, what happened last year was something wrong with my family. My Wang family was also deceived by Zhao Zongze. I didn’t know who Zhao Zongze was, let alone that he intended to be rude to the little girl of the Chao family. Now my granddaughter has broken up with Zhao Zongze, and my eldest son We are also colleagues from the Chao family, and we, the older generation, have some old friendships, and I hope that Mrs. Chao will stop worrying about the little unhappiness caused by the Wang family due to unclear recognition of people."
"I remember that Mrs. Wang didn't have such a tone at my wife's birthday party last year. I'm a small-minded person. I only know who made me feel uncomfortable. I can't dress generously. Mrs. Wang If you come to my house and you have something to do, you might as well open the skylight and tell the truth, and ramble on about old things. With my temper, I might end up serving tea to see guests off without making any sense."
Mr. Chao The wife laughed meaningfully. The old lady of the Wang family was really... extremely shameless. She used to be very fond of Zhao Zongze and even took her to various places to have her face brushed. Later, the little fan dumpling stepped on Zhao Zongze in front of him. Zhao Zongze After losing power, the Wang family immediately crossed the river and demolished the bridge, sacrificing Zhao Zongze. Such a ruthless and unjust family, the Lao Chao family would not dare to be friends.
"You..." The old lady of the Chao family almost said, "I don't want to talk to you." Old lady Wang couldn't keep her face straight. He forced himself to calm down and put on an awkward fake smile: "Old Mrs. Chao is really straightforward. You are a straight-tempered person, and I am also a straight-tempered person. I came... I want to meet the youngest girl of the Chao family. My old man is not feeling well. He went there yesterday. I'm in the hospital. I'm anxious and want to ask the little girl to help my old man see a doctor."
"Oh, Mrs. Wang is looking for my little Lele," Mrs. Chao smiled with a meaningful smile. He said something, and his smile faded: "My old man and my sons have nothing to do with my little Lele's affairs. Whether she helps anyone to see a doctor or perform an operation, it all depends on her own wishes. We are the elders. I never help her make the decision. When Old Mrs. Wang came to see my little Lele, she went to the wrong place again."
Old Mrs. Wang was disgraced by the straightforward rejection, and Unwilling to be reconciled, he put aside his old face and made a desperate move: "Can you ask Mrs. Chao to call the little girl, say a few words of kindness, and ask the little girl to help my old man see a doctor? The boss and I will bring you a big gift someday." I apologize to the little girl for what happened last year."
"I will not help anyone seek medical treatment from my little Lele. I am a grandmother-level elder, and I will not do anything to embarrass my grandchildren. thing, Old Mrs. Wang knows that my little Lele can’t tolerate sand in her eyes. You yourself also know where my little Lele is now. You don’t dare to force others to make things difficult, but you come to my house and ask me to call Lele to put in a good word for you. This is not intentional. Destroy the relationship between me and my little granddaughter? Fortunately, only Mrs. Wang can think of this kind of thing, others probably can't do it. "
Old Mrs. Chao sneered: "Old Mrs. Wang, to be honest, for the sake of Mayor Wang, I reluctantly gave you face and let you enter my house. If it weren't for the sake of Mayor Wang, As the mayor is a sensible person, just because you caused trouble to my house last year, I wouldn't even let you in. I would just blast you out with a broom and your shoes. "
"You..., you think I want to come. If you didn't have an adopted granddaughter who knows medical skills, I wouldn't even urinate in your house. "Old Mrs. Wang became angry with embarrassment, stood up in a hurry, and walked away angrily with a flushed face.
" It's easy to leave without seeing him off. "Old Mrs. Chao said these four words in a funny way. If Mrs. Wang was really arrogant, she would never have entered the Chao family before. When she got to the Chao family, she didn't get what she wanted and pretended to be arrogant. Who could show it to her?
She just took it as a joke and didn't care whether the old lady of the Wang family was so angry that her head was smoking. She immediately took out her mobile phone from the small drawer under the table and called Chao Yi. When the call was connected, she laughed Mimi said: "Boss, let me tell you something. Mayor Wang's mother came to see your father and me. We didn't talk about it for more than a while. Now she left in a rage. Are you talking to Wang? The mayor asked Mayor Wang to send a car to pick up the old lady or inform Mr. Wang to ask a nanny to come and look for her on the road. The weather was a bit hot, and Mrs. Wang was so angry. It would not be good if she got a heat stroke on the way. ”
Before Mrs. Wang could reach the door, she heard Mrs. Chao calling Uncle Chao to inform her boss. She felt inexplicably panicked. She didn’t tell the boss when she came. If she came, The little righteous grandson of the Chao family was seeing the old man. Afterwards, the boss and the old man would no longer care about how she invited the people. Now that she has not invited anyone, the boss must have thought that she was embarrassing them and his son again.
When Old Mrs. Chao’s words came to her ears, she felt panicked, as if the sky was falling. She felt like she had nowhere to escape, and she felt like she was walking in the desert and couldn’t find the way, and her mind was full of chaos.< br />
She was so panicked that she accidentally kicked the shoe rack at the door. At that moment, Mrs. Wang realized her mistake, lowered her head, and walked out of Chao's house as if running away, without even daring to look up. He returned and hurriedly walked out of the hospital.
Chao Yi was at work, and was really shocked when he received a call from his mother. His parents were what the old man said, "they don't go to the Eight Treasures Hall for anything." If There is nothing urgent. My parents at home will never call him during working hours. They usually have to wait until after working hours to find him. It must be urgent to find him during working hours.
I feel nervous and answer the question. The moment we talked on the phone, I was thinking about it. When I heard that it was Mayor Wang's old lady who came to him,When he went home, he looked dumbfounded at that time. Even though Mr. Wang was in a high position, the Wang family and the Chao family were both imperial officials and had little contact. Their family never held any banquets, so they didn't treat guests. The Wang family had The post was about him and his third child, so basically it can be said that the old man and his wife and Mr. Wang and his wife never visited each other. The only time they did meet each other was at other people's banquets.
The older generation of the Wang family and the Chao family have no personal relationship and do not move around each other. Today, Mrs. Wang went to the Chao family to find their mother-in-law. The news was like a bomb, shaking the Chao family. She was so stunned that she was completely confused and couldn't figure out which of Mrs. Wang's nerves was wrong.
Even though he was confused, he didn’t ask Old Mrs. Wang what she was doing at home. His mother didn’t say anything, so maybe Old Mrs. Wang wasn’t far away. Chao Yi agreed and waited until he hung up. Call Mayor Wang decisively. Let Mayor Wang take care of the Wang family's affairs.
Mayor Wang felt very depressed because his father was hospitalized and his niece was taken away. After lunch, he took the time to deal with the work, hoping to finish the official business as soon as possible and have time to go to the court. I was busy receiving a call from Secretary Chao, thinking it was an emergency meeting within the party, but I heard that his mother went to Chao's house to find Mrs. Chao, and got angry because she didn't agree with what she said. She slammed the door and left. I was so angry. Ah, he didn't ask his mother to worry about him as much as other mothers, he just asked her not to cause trouble for him. Now he realizes that even that request is a luxury.
There was no one to talk about when he had difficulties. Mayor Wang felt sad inside. Fortunately, Secretary Chao did not blame him, but was afraid that the old lady would not be safe on the road, so he asked him to call a nanny or contact someone to pay attention secretly. He was grateful for the Chao family's reasonableness. After talking to Secretary Chao on the phone, he called his parents' nanny and asked the nanny to contact his old mother, and then stopped caring about her.
After receiving Mayor Wang’s instructions, the nanny hurriedly called Mrs. Wang. When the call was connected, she hurriedly explained the situation: "Old lady, where are you? The second master and the second wife are back. , I have been waiting for you for a while..."
Old Mrs. Wang received a call before she left the courtyard where the Chao family lived. She thought it was her eldest son's call and was about to hang up, but found out that it was her home phone. When she finally answered the call, she heard the nanny say that her youngest son came home to find her. She felt even more depressed and mumbled a vague answer to end the call.
The sun was a little hot. When she walked out of the compound and saw cars coming and going on the road outside, Mrs. Wang felt empty in her heart. She suddenly didn’t know where to go. Back then, her old man didn’t help her parents’ family when he was in office. To some extent, her natal family is not close to her, and her parents are long gone. The younger generations of her natal family have not benefited from her and have little contact with her. There is no way to go back to her natal family.
Now she realizes that she has nowhere to go except her home with the old man.
The more she thought about it, the sadder Mrs. Wang became. She stood alone for a long time, and finallyFinally took a taxi home.
