Upon hearing the phone ring, Aunt Dong immediately picked it up and, seeing the caller ID, said to Rong Sao, "It's the old lady."
Rong Sao said, "I'll go downstairs first."
Aunt Dong nodded: "Go ahead and do your work."
Aunt Rong left quickly, and Aunt Dong answered the phone, her voice respectful: "Madam."
"How was Yuyu's day? Was she well-behaved too?"
Sheng Mingying adores the little guy and calls almost every day to check on him, asking if he's eating well, sleeping well, playing well, and showing all sorts of concern.
If her back hadn't been still recovering, she would have come in person long ago.
Aunt Dong said, "Madam, today..."
Aunt Dong told Sheng Mingying everything that had happened that day, including before Dong Pingting came to the villa, after she came to the villa, after she left, when she and her husband took the young master to the Ocean Park, and then came back, up to the young master's rejection of them just now.
He told Sheng Mingying everything, without hiding anything from her.
At first, Sheng Mingying had a smile on her face, looking incredibly kind and gentle. But after listening to Aunt Dong's words, her brows furrowed, and her expression turned rather unpleasant.
"Yu Yu only wants Zhou Yi now, and doesn't want any of you anymore?"
Aunt Dong paused, then said, "The young master doesn't want us, he only wants Miss Zhou, so the master should be fine too."
"After Miss Dong left, it was always Mr. who carried the young master. The young master cried at first, but then he stopped crying. For the entire hour from Qingbei Villa to Ocean Park, Mr. carried the young master without crying at all, and he even slept in Mr.'s arms."
Sheng Mingying pondered for a moment, then said, "I understand."
hang up the phone.
Qi Ma stayed by Sheng Mingying's side, taking care of her. Sheng Mingying's back had improved a lot in the past few days, but she was still old and couldn't compare to a young person.
So she needs to recuperate for a while longer.
Qi Ma had noticed the change in Sheng Mingying's expression during the phone call. Now that Sheng Mingying had hung up, Qi Ma asked, "What's wrong, Madam?"
Sheng Mingying's eyes flickered, and she said, "Dongyatou and our Wenren family are ultimately not meant to be."
In a single sentence, Qi's mother instantly understood: "Fate is indeed a difficult thing to predict."
Sheng Mingying picked up her phone and made a call.
Soon, a gentle voice came from inside: "Mom."
Sheng Mingying's face instantly lit up with a smile as she asked, "Dongyu, are you busy right now?"
"No, it's lunch break now, we're resting."
"Hehe, that's good then."
"Mom is calling you because she has something to tell you."
Qin Dongyu's expression changed upon hearing Sheng Mingying's words, and he said, "Please speak, I'm listening."
“Pingting is a good girl, and I like her very much. But Yuyu has too much of a temper, and Pingting’s gentle nature can’t handle it. I’m thinking that if there’s an opportunity, I’ll introduce her to a better, more suitable boy who is more compatible with her, so as not to hold her back.”
Sheng Mingying's words were tactful, but the meaning was clear. Qin Dongyu heard it clearly and said with a smile, "Mom, I can handle this. You're not well yet, so you shouldn't worry about it."
Sheng Mingying immediately chuckled and said, "I've always trusted you to do things, so I won't worry about it."
"Don't worry, I'll handle it properly."
"Okay, Mom, don't worry."
After exchanging a few brief words with Qin Dongyu, Sheng Mingying hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, Sheng Mingying let out a long sigh.
Knowing what Sheng Mingying was thinking, Aunt Qi brewed her a cup of calming tea and said with a smile, "Don't worry, there's still a long time before the master's prediction comes true."
Upon hearing Qi Ma's words, Sheng Mingying's eyes lit up instantly, but the light quickly dimmed.
"Given my temperament, which is typical of someone in their late teens, I'm afraid the fortune teller's predictions suggest that I might not have a good chance of making it in the next year or two."
"With his personality, how could he possibly like girls? And if he did like a girl, would he know how to pursue her?"
"All I see about him is work, documents, contracts, meetings, and business trips. He's a complete novice when it comes to relationships; he knows nothing about them."
As she spoke, Sheng Mingying picked up her teacup and took a sip of tea to ease her depressed mood.
Seeing her like this, Aunt Qi smiled and said, "Madam, men, no matter what kind of personality they have, will naturally learn once they get the hang of it."
“Master Zhang is always a master strategist, and our Sixth Young Master will not be wrong.”
"If I say it will be in the next year or two, then it will be in the next year or two. Just relax and let nature take its course. Maybe one day our Sixth Young Master will bring her home to you directly."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Mingying immediately put down her teacup and said, "That would be wonderful!"
"I won't say anything about him having a child out of wedlock, but if he actually manages to suddenly bring me back a girl, then I'll accept it!"
"I have to admit it!"
"I'll definitely give them a grand and impressive ceremony!"
"absolute!"
Aunt Qi smiled: "So, you don't need to worry. Just wait, what's meant to come will come."
Qi Ma's words finally put Sheng Mingying at ease.
Holding a teacup, he relaxed in the recliner, rocking the chair, and said with a smile, "My Xiao Liu is very picky. If he really likes a girl, she must be as beautiful as an angel."
"Just thinking about it makes me happy..."
……
Without pausing for a moment, Qin Dongyu immediately called Dong Pingting after Sheng Mingying hung up the phone.
Dong Pingting is her cousin, and also her youngest cousin. She wasn't very close to this cousin before.
It wasn't that she disliked her cousin, but rather that her cousin wasn't very outgoing; she was quite introverted.
She doesn't talk much, but she's very polite and well-mannered. She has a gentle smile, is quiet, and is likable.
But compared to her other cousins, she always seemed to lack something.
It feels too restrained, not lively enough.
It must be related to her upbringing.
Her aunt-in-law didn't come from a very good family; she was from a humble background and had a very strong personality. I heard that at first, her aunt-in-law thought she was having a son, so she was very nervous and protective of the baby. But she gave birth to a daughter, which disappointed her greatly.
Therefore, after her younger cousin was born, her aunt-in-law didn't care about her anymore, and then kept trying for a second child, wanting to have a son.
But she was infertile to begin with, and it was already a great achievement for her to give birth to her little cousin. After giving birth, she also damaged her qi and blood, so no matter how she tried to regulate her body or do IVF, it didn't work.
Having no other choice, her aunt-in-law could only place all her hopes on her younger cousin, and kept her under strict discipline.
Her younger cousin is also hardworking and intelligent. She has been proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting since she was a child, and her academic performance has always been among the best. She is a good student and a good child that adults like.
And so, her little cousin grew up to be an outstanding young woman, and is now a painter with a small reputation.
She was quite a few years older than her younger cousin, so they rarely interacted before. But since she got married, her younger cousin has been calling her from time to time to greet her or visiting her. She would bring her gifts on holidays and birthdays, and even if she couldn't come, she would call to say hello. She was very thoughtful.
That's why they gradually became familiar with each other.
However, she didn't expect that her little cousin liked Wenren Chen.
Last month, her younger cousin returned to China and came to see her as soon as she got back. After unexpectedly learning that Wenren Chen had a child out of wedlock, she became a completely different person.
Then, her younger cousin told her that she liked Wenren Chen and had fallen in love with him at first sight on her cousin's wedding day.
All these years she has worked so hard to become outstanding so that she could be worthy of Wenren Chen.
She liked Wenren Chen for a full ten years.
When she heard what her little cousin said, she was utterly shocked.
One felt they had been used, while the other admired her heart, recognizing her as a devoted lover who could give so much, even for such a long time, for someone she liked.
Her little cousin begged her to help her meet the old lady. Whether it worked or not didn't matter; she just wanted a chance.
The only chance.
She begged her.
She is a soft-hearted person, and her younger cousin has indeed been very caring towards her over the years, especially after Ruanruan was born, she has gone to great lengths to give her clothes, toys, and gifts.
Putting everything else aside, just based on her years of hard work, she would give her this opportunity.
So she went to tell her mother that she had a younger cousin who was gentle and quiet, a graduate of a prestigious university with a master's degree, and good-looking, and she wanted to introduce her to her sixth brother.
She knew that her mother was especially worried about her sixth brother's marriage, and she had never thought of introducing her younger sister to her sixth brother, because her sixth brother was not the type to take care of others.
It's good for a woman to be pampered.
Although the Wen family has an excellent family background and the sixth brother is successful in his career and good-looking, this is a major drawback, and she does not want her younger sister to suffer grievances after marrying into the family.
But since my little cousin likes it and is willing, I, as her older cousin, will lend her a hand.
Whether she succeeds or not depends on herself.
It is indeed an opportunity. In the past, my mother probably wouldn't have looked up to my younger cousin's family background, but now my sixth brother has a son out of wedlock, and his origins are unknown.
At times like these, no one dares to bring their daughter up.
My little cousin arrived at the right time, and she's smart too.
As expected, after seeing her little cousin's photo and information, Mom nodded in satisfaction and agreed, which led to their meeting that day.
And that was the end of her task; she didn't concern herself with anything afterward.
Many people wanted to marry into her family, including her relatives, but she knew better than anyone else what was important.
She wouldn't ask about anything else.
However, although she didn't ask about it, her mother hadn't called her for some time, and she was still wondering if the matter was going to go through.
Unexpectedly, less than a month later, my mother called me personally to refuse.
Clearly, it won't work.
Once Mom said it, it was absolutely impossible.
"beep……"
The call connected quickly.
Qin Dongyu sat on the sofa in the lounge, holding her phone and drinking coffee, patiently waiting for Dong Pingting to answer.
After four rings, the call connected: "Cousin."
