Chapter 124 Private Meeting
Chapter 124 Private Meeting
During this period, because Wu Qian was about to give birth, I gave Lin Qiuran a break.
After hanging up the phone, I transferred some money to Lin Qiuran as a gift for the unborn child.
After hanging up with Lin Qiuran, I went back to Hu Mei's side.
Hu Mei noticed that something was wrong with my expression and asked with concern, "What's wrong? What happened? Is something you need to do?"
I shook my head, but I didn't want to talk about Song Yafei.
Just like when we were kids, seeing that I didn't want to talk, he just patted me on the shoulder and said it in a very bold way.
"There's no hurdle you can't overcome. You've always been someone who likes to frown since you were little, and you still are now."
I turned to look at her, and when our eyes met, it was as if I saw her comforting me when I was a child.
The scene was the same then, only she seemed brighter and more radiant than before.
What are you doing?
As soon as I heard a familiar voice from behind, I turned around and saw Song Yafei, her arrogant face filled with anger.
I never expected that I would see her so soon after we started talking about her.
This shows that you shouldn't talk about people behind their backs.
Hu Mei looked at Song Yafei, then at me, and asked, "Do you know her?"
One day, she will find out about my relationship with Song Yafei.
I nodded.
At this moment, Song Yafei came over and forcibly removed Hu Mei's arm from my shoulder.
"Of course I know him. We're husband and wife on the marriage certificate. How could I not know him?"
Hu Mei didn't know I was married. When she heard Song Yafei say that, she opened her mouth wide in surprise, "You're married?"
I smiled and said, "At this age, isn't it normal to get married?"
Hu Mei was indeed somewhat surprised.
Song Yafei crossed her arms, looked at me coldly, and squeezed out her voice through clenched teeth.
"Wow, you actually hid the fact that you were married from them. Being single makes it easier to pick up girls, right?"
Her words also made me turn cold: "Is there any need to talk about a marriage that's about to end?"
My blunt retort made Song Yafei's face turn even uglier.
Unexpectedly, Hu Mei found it hard to believe and repeated my words like a broken record.
"Oh my god, you're getting a divorce?"
Sister, can we please not cause trouble?
Sure enough, Song Yafei's face immediately turned red with anger.
They became even less polite to Hu Mei.
"Who are you? What business is it of yours what our relationship is?"
As always, Hu Mei was very magnanimous and didn't seem to mind. Instead, she extended her hand to Song Yafei and introduced herself.
"Hello, I am Zhang Tian's older sister, Hu Mei."
However, her good temper did not earn her a pleasant look from Song Yafei, who stared at her coldly.
“Zhang Tian grew up in an orphanage. When did he get an older sister? How come I didn’t know?”
Song Yafei's sarcasm made Hu Mei's face turn pale, and she hesitated before withdrawing her outstretched hand.
We children who grew up in orphanages are all extremely sensitive.
Even if they were adopted at a young age, the psychological trauma is not so easy to heal.
I can understand how Hu Mei feels right now.
I grabbed Song Yafei and stopped her from saying anything even worse.
Song Yafei refused to compromise and struggled, but I managed to hold her still.
I reassured Hu Mei, "Sister Mei, please have a seat. I have some personal matters to attend to."
Hu Mei nodded, her face pale.
I then pulled Song Yafei to the balcony outside. Everyone was eating at that time, and there weren't many people there.
Thinking about how rude she was to Sister Mei and what she said, I got a little angry.
"You knew perfectly well that Sister Mei and I were both orphans, yet you still said those things. You went too far!"
Seeing that I was defending Hu Mei, Song Yafei was very displeased. "What, are you defending other women in front of me now? Isn't this blatantly going too far?"
She even said angrily, "Let Lin Qiuran tell me, you were away on a business trip, and I caught you having a secret rendezvous with another woman here. How do you explain that?"
I don't know what to explain. I didn't do anything special; I just met up with my older sister from when I was little and had a meal together.
There's no explanation needed for this!
"We ate in the lobby. You saw the people there; there were three of us. What do you think I can do? What do you need me to explain?"
However, Song Yafei seemed convinced that I had made Lin Qiuran lie to her, and she wouldn't listen to anything I said.
"Zhang Tian, you've got some nerve! You're taking advantage of my promise to make it up to you, so you're acting recklessly now. You think I can't do anything to you, is that it?"
What I've always wanted is a divorce, not some kind of reckless behavior under the guise of making amends.
Those are not what I want.
Even with my good temper, I got angry.
"Song Yafei, before you start slandering me, please think back carefully. You call having a meal a secret rendezvous? And what about you?"
"The male celebrities around me have changed one after another, when has it ever been quiet? So what?"
After I launched into a tirade, Song Yafei paused for a moment, then looked at me with a half-smile.
This is a bit puzzling to me.
Just a moment ago she was fuming, but in the blink of an eye she seems to have let it go, and is even a little happy.
How is this going?
Then I heard Song Yafei say, "Zhang Tian, you still care about me, right? Otherwise, why would you remember all these things?"
"What you're saying is clearly you being jealous, isn't it?"
I couldn't help but frown, wondering where she got this idea from.
I did care before, but I never said it out loud because I cared a lot.
The reason I'm talking about it now is because I've let it go and don't want to dwell on it anymore.
What she could decipher was her concern.
It seems we can never be on the same level, and we can never reach a consensus on our ideas.
I sighed deeply. "There's nothing more to say. Stop arguing."
After I finished speaking, I went back to the lobby.
When I returned, Hu Mei's friend had already left, and only Hu Mei was still waiting for me.
After I returned to my seat and sat down, Song Yafei came uninvited and sat down next to me.
Not wanting to embarrass her, I lowered my voice and asked, "What else do you want to do?"
Song Yafei smiled and took my arm. "Is there a problem with having dinner with my husband?"
has a problem!
There's a big problem!
Hu Mei, sitting opposite, also noticed something was off; she had changed her demeanor after what had just happened.
Seeing me like this is like seeing the powerful figure who used to stand up and protect me back then.
"Sweetie, if there's anything I can help you with, I'll do whatever it takes, just like when we were kids."
Like when I was a child?
The person who used to protect me is back!
Looking at Hu Mei, I felt a pang of emotion, and my nose started to sting.
Song Yafei couldn't stand seeing us like this; she felt like an outsider, and she absolutely wouldn't allow it.
