"Forgive your superficiality."
Qing Kangyu said, valuing his words.
He believed that with his current family fortune, he was not short of people to care for his final years.
Even more so, Qing Kangyu considered Meng Jingwei superficial and ignorant, unworthy of Qing Muye.
Meng Jingwei left.
She had come to the capital in a hurry, wanting to talk to Qing Kangyu. Although she didn't even get a chance for formal negotiations, she had obtained a lot of important information.
On the way back, she wondered if Qing Muye knew Tang Wanxing's family background.
He shouldn't.
He had said that he had known Tang Wanxing for many years and was well aware of her background.
Most likely, Qing Muye did not know that Tang Wanxing liked him and wanted to marry him.
By the time she returned to Yancheng, it was already past midnight.
Shen Liannuo, who had slept all day, saw her return and ran to her room, curling up on the sofa. "Confess honestly, where have you been? You look so troubled, did something happen?"
Meng Jingwei got up, took two bottles of red wine from the wine cabinet, opened one, poured it into a decanter, and walked to the sofa with two wine glasses, sitting down. "Here, have some wine."
She used her phone to order more takeout and then sat with Shen Liannuo, drinking and chatting, telling her everything that had happened recently and what had happened today.
Shen Liannuo's expression gradually darkened. "From what you're saying, your husband is in a precarious situation."
"After the trip to the hidden clan, Qing Muye suffered severe financial losses. He is now severely weakened, how can he be their opponent?" Meng Jingwei, who hadn't drunk for a long time, picked up her glass and drained it in one gulp, sighing, "You say, am I a jinx?"
"Pfft..."
Shen Liannuo leaned on the armrest of the single sofa, holding her wine glass in one hand and pointing at Meng Jingwei with the other. "You're a modern young person, yet you can say such ignorant things. Even the superstitious people of the hidden clan wouldn't say that about themselves."
She sighed deeply. "You, I can only say you have bad luck and are encountering petty people."
Hearing about Meng Jingwei's experience, Shen Liannuo felt some sympathy. "Actually, it's just the way fate works. You're a young master of the hidden clan, and so am I, but our destinies are completely different. I am luckier than you, aren't I?"
Meng Jingwei picked up the decanter and poured herself a full glass of red wine. "Are you advising me, or are you trying to upset me?"
"Haha, I'm teaching you to face reality." Shen Liannuo sat up straight, poured herself a glass of wine, clinked glasses with Meng Jingwei, and raised an eyebrow. "Perhaps, someone can help you."
Meng Jingwei didn't even ask who that person was, just shook her head. "The current situation is almost a dead end." After speaking, she gestured with the hand holding the wine glass. "It can't be said to be a dead end. If I die, Ah Ye might be able to turn his fortunes around. With Tang Wanxing's protection and the backing of the Tang family's influence, he will surely be able to turn his fortunes around."
Of course, that was only the last resort when all other options were exhausted.
She, Meng Jingwei, was not someone who would give up easily.
"When the cart reaches the mountain, there will be a road. Don't overthink it," Shen Liannuo said, but then swallowed the words she was about to say.
Perhaps, the situation wasn't that serious yet.
The two chatted intimately and drank four bottles of red wine. Finally, Meng Jingwei, feeling sleepy, lay down on the sofa and fell asleep.
After spending the previous night with Qiao Ziqian and staying up all night, she was utterly exhausted.
Seeing that she had fallen asleep, Shen Liannuo went to the bedroom to get a blanket and cover her, then turned up the air conditioning in the living room before returning to her own room with peace of mind.
Heavy-hearted, Meng Jingwei woke up after only a few hours of sleep.
After washing up, she headed straight to the film set.
She arrived at the set at eight o'clock in the morning. Estimating that Lan Shu was already awake, she called her. "Lan Shu, I don't lack people around me right now. You should focus your attention on Ah Ye. Especially since his company is going through a critical period, as a professional publicist, you should be able to support him."
