Chapter 7
In simple terms, it is about compensating for the guilt you feel regarding your childhood onto the foggy egg.
During the meal, Wu Dan was chattering incessantly, clamoring to go to Disneyland in Shanghai next week to see what differences there are
There are only so many bottles of Lafite from 1982, and with each bottle consumed, one less remains; where can one find so many genuine ones
Boss Wu had just opened his wallet, intending to give a card to Wu Mang Mang, when he suddenly heard Wu Mang Mang's phone ringing
The forest on the hillside is dense with shade, yet the slopes are steep and the fog is thick, leading one to feel that only a fool would buy a villa in such a high location.
Having finally reached a gentle slope, Wu Mangmang took out a water bottle from his backpack and tilted his head back to take a sip of water. Since he was wearing a set of linen-colored mountaineering attire, he didn't mind getting dirty and simply sat down on the ground to rest
The mist was thick as I continued down the path: "This wine bottle is genuine. My father brought it back. After finishing the wine, I kept the bottle and had someone make a new cork out of oak. As long as it looks the part on the outside, that's all that matters. As for the red wine inside, I can't discern its quality anyway."
Although it is not heavy, its size is quite large
"Father," the mist called out weakly and indistinctly.
As the car approached, through the thick fog, I could see the license plate clearly; wasn't it the Bentley that her parents had saved up for three years through frugality?
Therefore, the excessive pampering of Wu Dandan by Boss Wu and Ms. Liu is actually a form of psychological compensation
In fact, mixing Sprite with Lafite and Zhangyu tastes the same
Boss Wu has actually softened a bit, especially since the loan has been approved, and he is in a good mood. Since childhood, Wu Mangmang has never been constrained by money, and in recent days, he has seen the land grow thin with hunger.
"It's nothing." The misty figure shook his head and continued to follow Boss Wu to the front of the television, "Dad."
Ning Zheng also understands that girls always have their own reserve; otherwise, they would lose their value. Men are fond of this kind of demeanor in them, and this can be considered a mutual willingness to engage in such a dynamic
Lu Qingqing was utterly speechless. How can the 82 Lafite be compared to the Zhangyu Cabernet Sauvignon that costs only a few dozen yuan per bottle
The mist was thick as Qingqing sat up, clearly the blanket had been covered by Lu Qingqing for her
When climbing a mountain, it is essential to be fully equipped, including a windbreaker, hiking boots, snow sunglasses, and trekking poles, as one must at least appear to be prepared for the occasion
How fast it is
Seeing you, they can no longer afford to have another son with a snake spirit disorder
Return! The mist is thick and refreshing, if not now, then when? These past few days, as her father's wallet, he must be in a good mood. A good mood makes it easier to get things done
The fog is so thick that I no longer wish to take the subway
Ning Zheng made a sound of acknowledgment, "Do you also live on the mountain? How come I have never seen you before?"
One always wants to grasp something
Pure sexual attraction
So, in the misty haze, Wu Mangmang said to Dan Dan: "What fun is there at Disney? You should go play at Jurassic Park." It would be best if you were eaten by a dinosaur.
She has never been to any amusement park with her parents
Mom, I want to fly to the United States next week to see Taylor Swift's concert
What surprised me the most was waking up that day in the thick fog and being taken aback by the tender gaze of Lu Qingqing
A delicate finger swayed before Ning Zheng's eyes, making him wish he could grab it and hold it in his mouth.
There are no parents in the world who do not love their children
In the thick fog, I jumped twice in place, and the backpack on my back also bounced twice. I thought to myself that had I known earlier, I wouldn't have bought Lego blocks for Wudandan, as he has already gone to Disneyland. It was a pity that she carried it all this way.
Upon opening the phone, it turned out to be a message from Ms. Liu requesting to add her on WeChat
On the other end, the fog boss could no longer withstand the entanglement of the fog egg and agreed to accompany him to see the Oriental Pearl Tower
In this moment of foggy uncertainty, I wish I could drag the source of my troubles over and give it a good beating
"Misty, are you coming back for dinner this weekend? Your mother has mentioned you several times," Wusong asked again.
In a hazy and dispirited manner, he said: "Dad, you know what I want to say, so stop pretending."
Thus, Ning Zheng quickly changed the subject, dispelling the ambiguity
However, Ms. Liu unexpectedly agreed directly, while coaxing Wudandan to eat, she promised to book the flight tickets later
After having a meal, in the misty haze, I mimicked the appearance of a foggy egg, shuffling along step by step behind Boss Fog, inching forward.
In the thick fog, I lowered my head and kicked a small stone by the roadside far away; after kicking several of them, I finally raised my head, only to see a yellow Lamborghini moving at a snail's pace beside me
Some topics require the consumption of alcohol to enhance the atmosphere
In the thick fog, she regarded the bond between the two mothers and their children as mere side dishes, not even bothering to pick up any vegetables, as she buried her head in the plain rice
"Did you just come back from climbing?" Ning Zheng was clearly taken aback by the foggy, professional attire.
My home has arrived. Wu Mangmang pointed to a corner of the eaves that was revealed at the turn.
This is the instinct of attraction between opposite sexes
In today's fast-paced world, one can discern the subtle intentions from a mere hint of melody
The youthful and pure aura that lies between women and girls is like a shaken soda, continuously bubbling over.
Lu Qingqing took the bottle of wine and looked at it, "Not bad, Mang Mang, it turns out to be the 1982 Lafite, quite generous"
One might think so, but Wu Mangmang said, "Perhaps this is what they mean by 'fate brings people together from a thousand miles away, while lack of fate keeps them apart even when they are face to face.'" "Oh," Ning Zheng raised an eyebrow and smiled at Wu Mangmang, "So it seems our fate has arrived."
As the fog enveloped the surroundings, I watched the ostentatious Bumblebee depart, when suddenly, the WeChat notification sound rang out from my phone
"Mr. Ning, what a coincidence," Wu Mangmang said with a smile, "Do you live here as well?"
Boss Wu shot a glare at Wu Mangmang, decisively put away his wallet, and said, "Oh, I was wondering why you were willing to go home this week; it turns out you missed the ATM."
Ms. Liu Yewei is truly too lazy to deal with the whimsical mist, "If you love climbing so much, then just keep climbing."
"The bank finally relented yesterday, and it will be settled next week," Wu Song said. "What made you think to care about this?"
However, it does not matter; the former boyfriends numbered 5, 9, 12, and even 14 were all of this type, so she can basically respond to their moves with ease
Who set such a poor example for your parents
With a misty expression and a pout, she buried her head and continued to eat.
I am going to take a shower and sleep. What exactly do you want to do? Boss Wu has been annoyed by the fog for too long
"Call my sister," Wu Dan said, holding up the phone.
We now live in a global village, and sometimes the discounted airfare to the United States is not much different from that to Shanghai
Do I need to tell you that I have money?
Directly asking a girl for her number may come across as lacking sophistication, which is understood in a vague manner
At last, everything is settled. Regardless of whether it concerns the God of Wealth, the fog has finally lifted, bringing a sense of peace to the heart
She does recognize the person, but indeed does not know the other's surname
Your drinking capacity is truly lacking. Lu Qingqing clapped her hands and stood up, saying, I should be leaving now
Zhang Yu is just Zhang Yu, and what left Lu Qingqing even more speechless was that in the misty haze, she was still pouring Sprite into her own cup
A black sedan emerged from the bend ahead, and in the distance, through the mist, one could see a cluster of cartoon balloons floating outside the car window
However, after having seen a thousand sails, one can still see a blushing face, and a single finger can stir the heart of that person; Ning Zheng is naturally excited
In the misty haze, she sighed, her mother was truly becoming more and more fashionable
Lu Qingqing took a sip and frowned, "Why does this wine taste a bit strange?" She really didn't have the heart to say that Wumangmang had bought counterfeit wine.
Mistily smiling, he said: "Impressive, you actually figured it out, even my dad couldn't taste it."
In Ning Zheng's eyes, there was a hazy mist; although she appeared somewhat disheveled at that moment, the mountaineering outfit on her exuded a peculiar and striking beauty.
In the misty haze, I silently play the role of Dr. Wu in my heart
It is possible to pass, but I decisively choose not to allow her to see my Moments
As for whether this woman speaks well or if there is a good rapport, those are matters that will be considered in the future of the marriage
The physical exertion in the afternoon has been quite substantial, and at this moment, her eyes are feeling dizzy
Ning Zheng stopped the car and walked around to the front, where the mist was thick, "Ning Zheng."
Ms. Liu's ability to change from gentle spring rain to harsh frost and snow in an instant makes Wu Mangmang feel that her penchant for performance is likely hereditary
In the thick fog, without saying a word, he directly took the corkscrew and opened the oak cork, pouring a glass for Lu Qingqing
In the midst of the fog, keeping track of time, a few days later I called her father and during our casual conversation, I asked: "Dad, did the loan for the new production line at the factory get approved?"
As the ringtone sounded, Boss Mist and Misty simultaneously turned their heads to look at Mist Egg, who was playing with Boss Mist's phone.
In the thick fog, I watched helplessly as the large black rear of the Bentley vanished from sight
Although Ning Zheng found it somewhat strange, he did not pursue the matter further, as his attention was quickly drawn to the misty surroundings themselves
Amidst the mist, she smiled slightly. Although Ning Zheng did not directly ask her for her phone number just now, with Lu Qingqing present, it would be easy for him to obtain her number.
The car window rolled down, and the misty, rosy face of my younger brother appeared, "Sister, sister, today Mom and Dad took me to play at Disneyland"
What are you still dawdling about? Do you really think you are climbing Mount Everest? The whole family is waiting for you to serve the meal
In the thick fog, I took a deep breath and started running home
With a vague expression and a slight pout, she wondered what was so enjoyable about Disney. She had gone there alone once, and her only impression was that the lines were so long they resembled a train.
Ning Zheng reached out to smooth out the hair on Wu Mangmang's forehead and asked, "Do you want me to take you upstairs?"
"If you have money, then go by yourself," Ms. Liu replied vaguely.
Ms. Liu stated that night tours of the Huangpu River are also available
After speaking, he directly instructed the driver to drive
Mistily, he let out a sigh of relief on the other end of the phone. Although he was unsure if he was being overly suspicious, he had been uneasy ever since he heard Old Man Wu mention that a loan, which was originally a done deal, had suddenly hit a snag.
Although Lu Qingqing recently shared a photo of her boyfriend, who is quite youthful, the social circle they belong to is relatively open, and there are many couples. While it is very likely that she is overthinking the situation, Wu Mangmang currently has no intention of changing her sexual orientation
Isn't it just about money
It is simply unreasonable provocation
In the misty haze, there was no response from Ning Zheng, only a faint smile.
"Stop talking nonsense with your brother," Liu Yewei scolded. "What kind of outfit are you wearing?" Ms. Liu Yewei's face also appeared, looking at the fully armed figure, dressed as if ready to climb Mount Everest, with a look of disbelief.
In the midst of the fog, one can be certain that her father will undoubtedly soften his heart
Because I used to drive back every time, you naturally couldn't see me, lost in the fog of my thoughts
Mistily, I immediately went to the wine cabinet to fetch the wine and the wine glasses
However, even red wine mixed with Sprite can still be intoxicating
Lu Qingqing shook her wine glass and said, "It's a pity there isn't enough time; otherwise, I should let it breathe a bit before drinking."
No. The mist is thick, and my face is a bit red; I am too shy to admit that I enjoy performing.
The bag given to Lu Qingqing is completely worth it
After preparing oneself psychologically in the midst of the fog, looking at the foggy scenery becomes less irritating
Father is always particularly soft-hearted towards his daughter, while mother is not. Therefore, in the midst of the fog, she would never think of seeking help from their family's financial manager, Ms. Liu
Gazing blankly at the cluster of cartoon balloons floating outside the car window, held tightly in the hands of a child, one is unwilling to acknowledge the bitterness in their heart
You truly believe that your parents love you; however, that is merely their way of compensating for the guilt they feel towards me, filled with a misty and sour sentiment
In the thick fog, bending down to look out from the car window, I opened my mouth but could not call out a person's name for a long time
Amidst the mist, as she turned her head, the car window indeed rolled down, and the person in the driver's seat leaned out, saying, "Mángmáng, is it Mángmáng?" That day, Lù Qīngqīng called her just like that.
Now that you have grown up, it will be exceptionally difficult for your parents to mend the father-daughter and mother-daughter relationships
Lu Qingqing adjusted her forehead
Hehe, I am ATM, I am Alipay, I am Tenpay, I am Doraemon... This is a rap recorded by myself with a hoarse voice in a foggy atmosphere
In a hazy state between half-dreaming and half-awake, she opened her eyes to see Lu Qingqing sitting on the footrest, staring at her, which nearly made her scream in fright
When two women start talking, it seems endless. Eventually, getting into the spirit of the conversation, Lu Qingqing asked Wu Mangmang if there was any wine to drink
Yet Ning Zheng had to admit that the timely blush of Wu Mang indeed stirred his second brother
Although her villa was just around the corner, Ms. Liu surprisingly skipped even the courtesy of inviting her to get in the car, leaving her exhausted like a dog. Truly a biological mother, showing no pretense at all
On Saturday, I slept in amidst the thick fog, then spent two hours at the gym burning fat, striving to exhaust myself to the point of looking like a ghost. It was only when the sun was about to set that I changed my clothes, shouldered my bag, and headed towards the hillside villa area
"Isn't it hot in the middle of summer?" Ms. Liu Lewei asked again
In the following days, Lu Qingqing invited Wu Mangmang several times, but she was rejected each time
Is there something?" Boss Wu turned around and asked
In the hazy mist, I glanced at the time; it was already 1:00 AM. I stood up to see Lu Qingqing out the door, then washed up haphazardly before going back to bed.
Am I not trying to climb our hillside villa that is two hundred and fifty meters high? The fog is thick.
The mist was thick, and Ning Zheng's actions startled me; it seems that this Mr. Ning is quite experienced in the ways of the flower garden
This stack of voices calling "Dad" led the mist to follow her father up the stairs
Why don't you eat vegetables? You are as thin as a monkey, and you still don't eat properly?
In the mist, a leg curled under the buttocks sat down and said: "It's not that particular."
