Chapter 236: Aunt-in-law
Huang Weiwei's "demanding an explanation" was easily resolved by me. Chen Meng was very unhappy and scolded her with a dark face: "Weiwei, you're just soft-hearted. A few nice words and you're coaxed. I think this Chen Feng of yours is slippery and unreliable."
As she spoke, she leaned her body against He Jiaxiao, showing off her affection for him with infinite happiness.
In my eyes, He Jiaxiao was just a brat who didn't know anything, a second-generation official born with a silver spoon in his mouth, who valued romance over friendship, and was dissolute and unrestrained.
Huang Weiwei naturally didn't show weakness to Chen Meng's affection; she also leaned her body against mine, not caring about her teasing at all, and instead clapped her hands and said, "A man is only a man if he has personality."
The problem was solved, and they were going to return to Hengyue City, but He Jiaxiao refused to go back.
Chen Meng was annoyed. She had come to Chunshan County with Huang Weiwei, originally to find trouble for another man, but she didn't expect that she wouldn't be able to take her own man back. After she and He Jiaxiao started dating officially, he rarely went home. This little man had a scent that fascinated her, making her completely forget herself. Upon meeting this little man, she gradually discovered that she was not only as gentle as water but also as fragile as the porcelain dolls displayed at home.
She knew well that He Jiaxiao's mother was a traditional woman, a mountain standing on the path of their love, so high it was insurmountable. She couldn't understand why He Jiaxiao's mother cared so much about a woman's age. Logically speaking, as an educated woman, she should understand the principle that love has no age boundaries.
Chen Meng was a girl who feared nothing. She had been independent since she was a child, perhaps because her parents had gone far away to work during the years she was growing up, leaving her to live with her elderly grandparents. At the age of eight, she started boarding at school and stayed until she graduated from university. Her father, the Municipal Party Secretary, hoped she would enter politics and arranged a smooth path for her. But she refused, fought with her father for a year, and in the end, she got her wish and pursued her career as a reporter.
Watching her girlfriends find boyfriends one after another, she, with her naturally cheerful personality, was not moved at all. It wasn't until Huang Weiwei, whom she deeply admired, found a boyfriend that she realized the world was a world of yin and yang harmony, and she couldn't remain aloof, let alone be unconventional. Besides, her father, as the Municipal Party Secretary, could never let his only daughter live a life of solitude.
She had secretly kept an eye on the men around her, and she knew many men wanted to pursue her, but her heart was like a pool of stagnant water, without a single ripple. Many men stopped in their tracks before the halo of the Municipal Party Secretary's daughter, and even the self-righteous artists, when it came to the issue of marriage, would feel ashamed and dare not show any masculine spirit.
It was at this time that she met He Jiaxiao, who honked his horn in the middle of the night. The healthy and sunny appearance of the little boy in front of her made her heart pound, especially his unrestrained nature and the way he looked at her, which made her body feel hot. It was from that moment on that she discovered a love growing wildly in her heart that she couldn't suppress.
Their love was as transparent as water. Chen Meng had not yet received a single kiss from He Jiaxiao; the greatest extent of their intimacy remained at the innocence of holding hands.
Chen Meng had tried to take the initiative to find He Jiaxiao, but every time, her footsteps would stop a few steps away from his house. She didn't dare to look into the eyes of his aunt-in-law, Wanru; that woman's gaze clearly carried strong hostility, as if she would snatch her son away. Every time, she would smile helplessly, silently standing in the shade of the trees outside his window, quietly watching his silhouette reflected by the lights.
That time when He Jiaxiao came out of the house with me, she sat in the coffee booth at Xinlinyin and asked Huang Weiwei: "Can he be brought out?"
Every five minutes, she would ask once, asking until Huang Weiwei's heart ached. A girl as naturally beautiful as Chen Meng, who not only had a good educational background but also a prominent family background, was like the moon in the sky, surrounded by stars, yet nothing could cover her brilliance. This girl, who had once made Huang Weiwei jealous, fully exposed the fragility hidden in the bottom of her heart when it came to the little boy, He Jiaxiao.
It was also that time that He Jiaxiao could no longer let her go; no matter what measures his aunt-in-law, Wanru, took, she couldn't control his desire to see her every day.
They both knew that as long as they were still in Hengyue City, they couldn't be together. Therefore, they both had the idea of leaving Hengyue City. And the best reason to leave Hengyue City was to study abroad!
Chen Meng's idea received strong support from Secretary Chen, and He Jiaxiao's idea surprisingly received praise from his aunt-in-law, Wanru. In the eyes of his aunt-in-law, Wanru, although her son had graduated, his academic qualifications had no competitiveness in the future society. That her son could think of going abroad made her feel relaxed invisibly. Her son had never left her since he was born; he was still a thin little blade of grass that needed to be baptized by the wind and waves on the other side of the ocean to become a real man.
However, when his aunt-in-law, Wanru, learned that Secretary Chen's daughter was also going abroad and that they were going to the same country, she began to firmly oppose it again.
This was a secret war between Chen Meng and his aunt-in-law, Wanru. They were both trying every possible way to win, and the only fruit of victory was He Jiaxiao, who still had a childish look on his face as he stood beside me.
"You're not going back?" I asked curiously: "Where are you going?"
"I'm not going anywhere, I'm following you."
"Why follow me? You can't eat well or sleep well here. Besides, your aunt-in-law won't let you stay with me." I analyzed: "Hengyue City has everything. A young person in the prime of life like you should go and enjoy the beautiful life of the city."
He Jiaxiao wasn't moved at all, but instead refuted me: "Brother, you're not much older than me, why don't you go and enjoy it?"
I deliberately put on a look of deep suffering and said: "Brother has to work! Otherwise, I would have run back long ago."
"The ghost believes you." He Jiaxiao said to me: "As long as my mother doesn't agree to let me go abroad, I won't go home and will stay here with you."
This childish, angry remark made us all laugh. Chen Meng said softly: "Jiaxiao, let's go back and fight for it. Staying here won't solve the problem."
In front of Chen Meng, He Jiaxiao assumed the form of a big brother: "Mengmeng, don't worry about this. I have a way!"
He Jiaxiao refused to get in the car, and Chen Meng refused to leave, so the situation became deadlocked.
I pulled Huang Weiwei to the side and said: "You persuade Chen Meng. You guys go back first, and I'll bring him back in a few days, okay?"
Huang Weiwei shook her head and said: "I know Sister Meng's personality; she won't leave."
The four of them didn't speak. After a silence, He Jiaxiao started whistling.
His whistling made my heart move, and I said: "How about this, let the four of us go to the provincial capital together."
He Jiaxiao agreed immediately. Once He Jiaxiao agreed, Chen Meng naturally had no objections. Now, as long as this little man was within her sight, she would feel an inexplicable joy. She once thought she had a strange illness; she had been troubled and blamed herself, and she even felt a kind of inferiority!
Huang Weiwei hesitated for a moment and said that she still had to go to work. She hadn't been working properly during this period and already felt sorry for her job.
Chen Meng was very dissatisfied with her attitude and said bluntly: "Who told you to think about men so much that you don't even go to work."
Huang Weiwei retorted: "What about you? The pot calling the kettle black, are you embarrassed?" As soon as the words were out, both women's faces turned red, and they shyly hid behind their respective men, giggling.
Everything seemed calm, but I knew there were still turbulent waves underneath. Chen Meng's love made one feel at a loss. I really couldn't understand how He Jiaxiao, this brat who still smelled of mother's milk, could make her disregard everything.
The four of them got into the car. Huang Weiwei and I sat in the back, and He Jiaxiao drove.
As soon as she got into the car, Huang Weiwei leaned her head over, resting weakly against me. She slipped her small hand into mine, gently scratched my palm, and gave a shy smile that instantly made the spring scenery look radiant.
Her little movements were clearly seen by Chen Meng in the rearview mirror. She turned her head and said with a smile: "You two star-crossed lovers, why are you being so intimate in the car? Don't disturb Jiaxiao's driving."
As she spoke, she twisted the rearview mirror and refused to look back for even half a glance.
I looked at Huang Weiwei from the side; her earlobes were turning pink, her face was full of spring, looking as if she were about to cry or complain.
I quietly reached my hand from behind her and hugged her soft waist. She raised her head, gave me a sweet smile, pulled my hand, and covered it on her waist.
My heart was beating like a drum, suppressing my excitedly jumping heart. I slowly lifted the hem of her clothes and quietly invaded her skin, which was as smooth as grease.
Just as we were being intimate, the phone rang. I picked it up and saw it was my aunt calling. She started by saying: "Xiao Feng, the matter has been botched!" ===== CHAPTER 237 =====
