Lin Ping frowned. “Life isn’t like coffee, and marriage isn’t about understanding everything. I don’t need to understand Gu Wencheng’s decision. I just need to support him. Similarly, he will support me in whatever I want to do. Coffee has to be very bitter to be praised as good coffee, but life is our own. We don’t need others to taste it or evaluate it. It’s enough for the two of us to know whether it’s good or not.”

After a pause, Meng Nianyao continued, “Of course, I understand what you mean. You think that the gap between my family and Gu Wencheng’s is too big and that my past will bring shame to Gu Wencheng. I’m not a good candidate for a wife like this, but your thoughts are your thoughts. For us, the most important thing is Gu Wencheng’s thoughts. I was betrayed by my ex-husband and almost died. I have Gu Wencheng’s silent support at every step, so I won’t give up on being with him just because of your words. Similarly, I can also promise that if there is a problem between me and Gu Wencheng in the future and I can’t live anymore, I won’t pester you and leave the family with nothing. I don’t want a single cent from the Gu family.”

Meng Nianyao’s last sentence was a little out of Lin Ping’s expectations. In her mind, Meng Nianyao and Gu Wencheng were together for money, but now… During her time abroad, she had thought about it carefully. Grandpa Gu and Grandma Gu did not object to this marriage. She herself could not break them up by force alone; when she first found out that they had registered their marriage, she was so angry that she had used forceful means to get them to divorce.

“Alright, since you’ve made such a promise, I’ll give you a chance.”

Meng Nianyao looked up in surprise.

Lin Ping continued, “Gu Wencheng likes you very much, to the point where he’s willing to butt heads with us. It’s useless for us to insist on opposing him; it will only make our relationship worse. Besides, the elders at home like you very much, so what else can I say? I just hope that you can remember what you promised me today.”

Meng Nianyao blinked and suddenly understood why Gu Wencheng had a bad relationship with his parents. Gu Wencheng’s mother didn’t seem to know how to talk. If she had said that she had no choice but to agree to continue being with Gu Wencheng, it would be fine. However, she only agreed after she promised to divorce Gu Wencheng and leave with nothing. Didn’t this mean that Gu Wencheng was more important than the family property? Perhaps this was the common thought of the rich? Did they think “as long as you don’t touch my money, you can get married if you want”?

“Alright, I still have something to do. I’ll be leaving first.” Lin Ping stood up and tidied her clothes elegantly.

Meng Nianyao nodded blankly. She sat on the sofa and stared at Lin Ping’s back as she left. She began to daydream.

After a long while, her phone rang. She came back to her senses and waved for the waiter to pay the bill.

“Miss, the lady just now has already paid the bill,” the waiter said with a smile.

“Then I’m sorry for troubling you. “Meng Nianyao nodded.

When she returned to the company, it was already four in the afternoon. Meng Nianyao dealt with a few documents until it was time to get off work. She packed up and went out. At the same time, everyone was preparing to leave.

Meng Nianyao’s relationship with the design team had become much better than before. Since it was the new year holiday, many people were greeting each other with phrases like “happy new year” and “see you after the new year.”

Just as Meng Nianyao reached the door, Yin Qiqi suddenly called out to her. “Team Leader, it’s almost the new year. Everyone is going to have a gathering. Why don’t you come along?”

Meng Nianyao stopped in her tracks. “I won’t be going, but you all have fun. I’ll reimburse you.”

“Wow!” Yin Qiqi called out exaggeratedly. Then, she hooked her arm around Meng Nianyao’s wrist. “In that case, all the more reason for you to go, Team Leader.”

The colleagues behind her also heard Meng Nianyao’s words. No one would give up the opportunity to freeload, so they also said to Yin Qiqi, “That’s right. If you don’t go, it’ll be boring if we go alone.”

A few people agreed, but Meng Nianyao couldn’t refuse and could only agree.

Young people usually gathered together to eat and drink, then go to bars or KTV to sing. After dinner, Meng Nianyao wanted to leave first, but was held back. She rarely went to KTV stores, and the environment was too noisy, so much so that her ears hurt.

Meng Nianyao couldn’t stand it anymore. She stood up and was about to sneak away, but Yin Qiqi caught her. “Team Leader, where are you going? You can’t sneak away.. I’m counting on you to pay!”
