Author: Flying Boat Looking at the Moon

Yu Lang was on a business trip, first, to inspect the stores that will be opened at the end of the month, and second, to meet an investor.

The investor is Cui Ruopeng. He has seen him once before. At that time, Cui Ruopeng was very interested in their new retail model, but it only stopped there and did not take any further action.

Yu Lang quickly raised enough funds at that time. He guessed that Cui Ruopeng was probably cautious. He wanted to wait and see the operation of the entire model after it was implemented, so he only maintained a relatively loose contact with him and did not meet again.

This time Yu Lang was going to inspect the new store. I heard that Cui Ruopeng was also on vacation here, so I contacted him and made an appointment to play golf tomorrow morning.

Because the current funding gap is relatively large, Yu Lang hopes to get investment from Cui Ruopeng. Although he was upset by Lawyer Xu to see Tang Jialin, he was unable to help ease their relationship and had no time to think about it, so he focused on preparing the materials.

But Cui Ruopeng was on vacation and asked Yu Lang to go to the golf course. Obviously, he didn't want to listen to what he said seriously.

"I remember Yu Zong got married?"

Cui Ruopeng is in his early forties this year and has divorced once. According to Yu Lang's understanding, he took his girlfriend on vacation this time.

"Yes, I've been married for three years."

"That should be still sweet, my wife didn't come with her on a business trip?"

Cui Ruopeng was just chatting, but for Lang, it was like a cold arrow flying from the sky and hitting his chest.

"No." He tried to reply as usual, "I don't like the mixing of public affairs."

Both of them were wearing sunglasses, and Cui Ruopeng didn't pay attention to Mr. Yu's expression and smiled: "It turns out that he is young and full of energy. Unlike middle-aged people like us, who have limited energy and often lose sight of one thing and can only do business together."

When I saw him on vacation, I just did business and private affairs together. Yu Lang replied: "That's because Mr. Cui can use both things in his heart, but I can't do it. When I was working, I only had official affairs in my mind. Even if I took my wife together, I couldn't remember it and ignored her."

Cui Ruopeng smiled: "It seems that Mrs. Yu has a good temper."

"..." Yu Lang thought that this topic would be enough. If he continued, he would almost become a hedgehog.

He found another topic and asked Cui Ruopeng how he was on vacation here, how he experienced it, and where he was the most fun.

While playing basketball, they chatted. When the end of the game was resting, the two became much more familiar. Yu Lang complained that he was not good at playing golf, and his father was even unwilling to take him to play.

Cui Ruopeng said that his personal hobbies and specialties are different. He has long heard that Yu is a snooker master and wants to see it with his own eyes if he has the opportunity.

Yu Lang took advantage of the situation and mentioned the last snooker ball game and his latest financing plan.

The two talked about business for 90 minutes. When they saw noon, Cui Ruopeng insisted on being an organizer and invited Yu Lang to dinner. "Mr. Yu got up early to play basketball with me and asked you to treat you to lunch. If it was reported, they would laugh at me until next year."

Yu Lang felt that the other party still had an investment intention, and thought that he would not be polite to ask for it back in the future, so he agreed.

It is difficult to talk about business matters during meals, so the topic naturally turns to the family again. When he heard that Yu Lang has no children yet, Cui Ruopeng sincerely suggested: "It's time to take this time to take his wife out for a walk. Business matters are endless, but youth is not waiting for anyone."

In the past, Yu Lang would never listen to such words, and even felt that the other party was relying on his seniority and always wanted to be a life mentor for others. But when Tang Jialin was about to divorce and he knew that he was in the wrong, Yu Lang finally felt that this was a bit reasonable.

"I'm going to have a good vacation at the end of the year and go out for a break."

Cui Ruopeng asked with a smile: "Don't you think I'm old, nagging and meddling in other people's business?"

Yu Lang shook his head and was about to reply, Cui Ruopeng continued: "I also think I like to meddle in other people's business, but I can't help it. I always feel that I am a few years older and have taken many more detours. When I see young people, I want to share my experiences and lessons."

When Yu Lang heard the word "detour", he remembered that he had divorced, and his mood suddenly became a little subtle. He would never confess to outsiders that the couple had divorced, but about his mother, Yu Lang really wanted to listen to outsiders' advice.

"Mr. Cui has rich experience and extensive knowledge. I was just about to ask you for advice and study." Yu Lang raised his glass, used tea instead of wine, and greeted Cui Ruopeng.

Cui Ruopeng just thought he was polite and raised his glass to greet him.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Yu Lang had to speak by himself and asked Cui Ruopeng's parents how healthy they were and where they live now.

Cui Ruopeng said that his mother was in good health and his father had some cardiovascular problems. Now both old people live in coastal cities in the south. "I just went to visit. After staying for less than two days, the old lady drove me away and said she didn't take my grandson back. Why did she live for so long?"

He smiled and shook his head, and Yu Lang also laughed: "The child is going to school?"

"Yes." Cui Ruopeng nodded, "My ex-wife has been with me. She has been promoted to the third year of junior high school. It is difficult to take leave and miss classes."

Having said that, Yu Lang was a little difficult to answer, so he could only nod.

Cui Ruopeng continued, "Actually, my mother knows that she often contacts my ex-wife, just to find an excuse to drive us away." After saying that, he saw Yu Lang that he didn't seem to understand, and added, "She doesn't like my girlfriend and always hopes that I can remarry my ex-wife."

"It seems that the old lady has a good relationship with your ex-wife?"

"Well, when she hadn't divorced before, she was picky about others from time to time. After she divorced, she felt that they were good everywhere." Cui Ruopeng shook his head again, "Now she is picky about my girlfriend again."

Yu Lang expressed his feelings: "The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is also a world problem, right?"

Cui Ruopeng asked with a smile: "What? Mr. Yu also encountered this problem?"

Yu Lang nodded: "I used to think they had a good relationship, but recently I suddenly realized that it didn't seem like this."

Although he was vague, Cui Ruopeng knew about what he was saying, and said with a smile: "Three years has come to the stage when everyone is back to themselves and will not whitewash you the peace."

"You mean, what was good in the past, did you do it for me to show it?"

"You can't say that, they may really hope that they can get along well with each other. Do you live with Mrs. Yu Dong and his wife?"

Yu Lang shook his head: "We're living outside."

"That should be fine. If you don't live together, it will reduce a lot of conflicts."

"But my mother... likes to ask my wife to accompany her to go shopping and dinner. Sometimes she likes to ask my wife to go with her friends." Yu Lang tried hard to modify the words, "I used to think she just liked my wife..."

Cui Ruopeng did not rush to answer the conversation, and first added tea to Yu Lang, and then slowly said: "I am very interested in traditional culture recently - Mr. Yu, don't misunderstand it, it's not about playing with antiques with pans."

He first joked with Yu Lang, and then said: "I am not very interested in external things. I mainly pursue the lives of some characters, from one historical character to another, and then pull out their relationship network..."

Yu Lang became more and more confused as he listened. He didn't want to listen to his mother-in-law and daughter-in-law's relationship at home, so he changed the topic directly?

"I have chased from the court to the inner house again, and I slowly discovered that now we make friends, get married, do business, and all behavioral patterns, methods and skills are used by the ancients."

Cui Ruopeng picked up the tea and put it to his mouth, stopped and said, "Do you know? In ancient times, when a new daughter-in-law got married, she had to set rules in front of her mother-in-law, eating, dressing, playing cards and washing her feet. From opening her eyes in the morning to closing her eyes to sleep at night, she had to serve her daughter-in-law."

Yu Lang: “…”

Cui Ruopeng laughed: "My thinking is divergent for a moment. Don't misunderstand Mr. Yu. Lingtang is definitely not the kind of old ladies who want their daughter-in-law to serve. They are all women in the new era. It is impossible for your wife to be so smooth."

Then what do you mean? Yu Lang almost asked this sentence.

Cui Ruopeng did not make a fool of himself and directly summarized the statement: "In fact, like a company, 'establishing rules' is an indispensable step in establishing a relationship between superiors and subordinates."

Yu Lang regretted talking about this with Cui Ruopeng. Tang Jialin just said that when they were three, when they arrived at Cui Ruopeng, they would go back to the feudal era and become evil mother-in-law!

Sure enough, the businessman who claimed to be interested in traditional culture had some problems with his mind. Yu Lang finally failed to finalize the investment matter with Cui Ruopeng, and left with anger.

He didn't think his mother wanted to establish a superior and subordinate relationship with Tang Jialin - they were originally mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, one was an elder and the other was a junior. Tang Jialin already respected his mother very much and even let his mother make the decision on the wedding. Why do they need to do this more?

Tang Jialin was also very confused about this. She had decided to divorce and moved out of her home, which fulfilled Yu's mother Deng Zhuoqin's wish. Why didn't she let her go and even found the store?

"I thought you said you were just angry until you asked about your housekeeping..."

Tang Jialin was too lazy to keep her polite appearance and interrupted her and asked, "Did you just asked today? I thought you knew it last Friday."

Deng Zhuoqin showed an injury: "Jialin, do you have any misunderstandings? I have always respected your privacy. Before that, I have never had any private housekeeping with you..."

Tang Jialin nodded: "You don't have them, Aunt Li has talked to them a lot."

"..." This was the first time Deng Zhuoqin saw Tang Jialin so aggressive. She was not used to it, but she still maintained her usual gentle and soft tone. "She talks more. You don't like it. I told her to change this problem in the future."

"That's your family's business and has nothing to do with me." Tang Jialin said seriously, "Since you are here in person, I have nothing to hide. I will divorce Yu Lang. Please don't come to me again in the future."

Deng Zhuoqin's eyes flashed, and she showed a look of surprise and eagerness: "Jialin, don't be impulsive, if you have anything to say, divorce is not a trivial matter..."

"I know divorce is not a trivial matter, I have hired a lawyer." Tang Jialin replied and pointed at the store, "I'm a little busy here, so I won't say hello to you."

Deng Zhuoqin grabbed her arm and said earnestly: "Jialin, listen to your mother..."

"Madam Yu, isn't it the result you are most happy to see in divorce from Yu Lang?" Tang Jialin had long been fed up with her hypocritical behavior, tea words, "You have looked down on me from the beginning and think I am not worthy of being your Yu family's daughter-in-law, right?"

Deng Zhuoqin's face changed slightly, but she still refused to let go: "Jialin, why did you misunderstand your mother to this point? Yes, at first, Alang brought you back, and your father and I felt that you were not suitable, but you truly love each other, and mom has always supported and blessed you!"

Tang Jialin looked at her coldly: "There are only two of us here, and Mrs. Yu still has to act. Don't you feel tired?"

Deng Zhuoqin's eyes turned red: "Jialin, I know that because of Nan Nan's incident last time, her mother was not very careful about her words. She might have offended you. Before and after this incident between Alanti, I forgot to tell you..."

"Yes, but why is it so coincidental that you didn't forget me when Shang Nannan's mother was thanking you?" Tang Jialin pushed her hand away, "It's been three years, Mrs. Yu, we know what kind of person I am and what kind of person you are. There is really no need to act again. Yu Lang and his father are not here, so who should they act for?"

Anger surged in Deng Zhuoqin's eyes, but she reacted very quickly, raised her hand to cover her face, and sobbed: "I really didn't expect that you would look at me like this in your heart, I..."

Without finishing her words, she covered her face and turned around, quickly walked to the side of the road. The driver waiting there hurriedly opened the car door for her, and her eyes looked at Tang Jialin with condemnation.

Oh, it turned out to be the act for the driver to show it. Tang Jialin rolled her eyes and turned to the store. It seemed that Mr. Yu would soon receive a call from the driver who accused her of unreasonable confronting her wife, causing her to cry sadly.
