Chapter 255 Is this her new boyfriend?
Xiao Ling accompanied her husband to a restaurant to entertain clients in the evening.
They had booked a private room, and upon arriving at the restaurant, a waiter led them there.
The private room was upstairs, and the two of them spoke quietly as they went up.
At the corner, she glanced casually at the lobby downstairs and suddenly stopped in her tracks.
She saw Liang Liangwei sitting and having a meal with a man.
From her angle, she could see almost all of Liang Liangwei's face, while the man only had a small part of his profile. But she was certain that it was definitely not her son.
She couldn't help but frown. Was this her new boyfriend?
She looks quite elegant and has an air of sophistication, but... her son isn't bad either, is he?
Yan Yunting took a couple of steps but didn't see her follow, so he turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"
Xiao Ling: "I saw someone I know..."
Just then, Liang Liangwei got up, while the man remained seated; she must have been going to the restroom.
She then said to her husband, "I'll go say hello, you go up first."

Liang Liangwei had almost finished eating and took out a tissue to wipe the corner of her lips.
"I'm going to the bathroom."
After using the restroom, she came out to wash her hands and noticed that there seemed to be someone standing by the door. She looked up at herself in the mirror and froze.
Guan Shui turned around, looked at the person who had come in, and gave a smile: "Auntie."
Xiao Ling looked at her, smiled, and said, "Weiwei, what a coincidence, are you having dinner with friends?"
Liang Liangwei pulled out a tissue to wipe her hands: "Yes, Auntie too?"
Xiao Ling: "Bei'an's father and I are entertaining clients here."
Liang Liangwei smiled, feeling a little embarrassed.
The main issue is the area where the two of them are talking... You can't exactly say to her, "Auntie, please go ahead, I won't disturb you while you're using the restroom..."
Xiao Ling also felt the location was inappropriate, so she gestured for her to go to the green area next door to talk, and she followed her there.
This spot is located in a corner of the hall, secluded and rarely noticed.
Looking at the bright and beautiful girl in front of her, Xiao Ling felt that it was a pity that her son had broken up with her.
"Weiwei, I heard from Bei'an that you two broke up?"
Is it so direct?
Liang Liangwei paused in her act of tucking a strand of hair, then nodded in acknowledgment: "Yes."
Xiao Ling frowned and said, "But everything was fine before, wasn't it? Why did you suddenly break up? Is there some misunderstanding between you two? I've noticed that Bei An has been very busy lately. If it's because of work that he's neglecting you..."
Liang Liangwei thought to herself that it was good that Yan Beian had communicated with her and that the two of them had already agreed on their story. She said, "No, Auntie, we broke up because we felt that we were not suitable to be a couple and that it would be better to be friends. After careful consideration, we decided to break up. We are now very good friends."
Seeing that she looked very calm, not like someone who had been wronged or was acting reluctantly, Xiao Ling knew that the two of them were probably not going to make it work.
Feeling somewhat disappointed, he sighed softly and said, "You're a good girl, but we in Bei'an don't have that kind of luck."
Liang Liangwei quickly said, "Auntie, don't say that. Yan Beian is a good person too. He will find a girl who is more suitable for him than me."
Xiao Ling: "Grandpa Bei'an found out too, and he was so angry that he beat him twice with a stick, saying that he didn't know what was good for him and missed out on a good girl."
Liang Liangwei was slightly surprised: "Grandpa Yan hit him?"
Yan Beian didn't say anything, he just casually mentioned that he had been kicked out by his grandfather.
Xiao Ling: "Yeah, he didn't tell you?"
Liang Liangwei shook her head.
Xiao Ling said tactfully, "Maybe it's because they care about their pride, after all, they're so old and they still get beaten up..."

After parting ways with Xiao Ling, Liang Liangwei returned to the dining table.
Shen Zhengming: "I ordered you a dessert."
Liang Liangwei glanced at it and saw that there was indeed a bowl of red bean double-skin milk in front of her: "Thank you."
She took a couple of bites with her head down, and suddenly it occurred to her—Yan Bei'an's mother was clearly waiting for her at the bathroom door, not because she also needed to use the bathroom, since she went upstairs after their conversation, which meant she was entertaining clients in a private room on the second floor.
That means she saw me eating here and got up to go to the restroom, so she deliberately went over there to look for me?
So, she also saw Shen Zhengming?
The thought of Yan Bei'an telling her family that she had a new boyfriend gave her a headache.
Could Yan Bei'an's mother mistakenly believe that Shen Zhengming is her new boyfriend?
This joke has gone too far!
When Shen Zhengming noticed that she had suddenly stopped eating, he asked, "What's wrong? Is it not tasty?"
Liang Liangwei smiled and said, "No, I was thinking about something."
After finishing their dessert, the two got up, paid the bill, and left.
As they walked out of the restaurant side by side, Shen Zhengming tilted his head and asked, "Where did you park your car?"
Liang Liangwei pointed in a direction, and the two of them walked in that direction together.
Walking up to her car, Shen Zhengming glanced at it casually and said, "Nice car."
Liang Liangwei laughed and said, "It's only a little over two hundred thousand, Mr. Shen, please don't laugh at me."
Shen Zhengming laughed as well: "It can't compare to the old one, of course, but who told you to leave the old car at home and not drive it away?"
Liang Liangwei shrugged. She didn't reply.
Shen Zhengming glanced at her and asked, "Where are you staying now?"
Liang Liangwei gave him the name of the neighborhood, and he frowned: "Which ring road?"
"Fourth Ring Road".
Shen Zhengming: "Never heard of it."
Liang Liangwei chuckled: "Huacheng is so big, how could you possibly know every single neighborhood?"
Shen Zhengming: "Is the house newly bought?"
"Ah."
Shen Zhengming frowned: "Why don't you live in your own house?"
Liang Liangwei smiled and remained silent. He understood after a moment of silence.
I had a falling out with my father, deleted him on WeChat and blocked his number, and we lost contact. How could I possibly live in those houses so that people could easily find me?
He found it somewhat amusing: "Does the commander know about your current house?"
They must have found out, otherwise they wouldn't have sent people to follow her from her home to the mall.
Liang Liangwei leaned against the car door and shrugged: "Probably."
Shen Zhengming looked down at her. The girl had her eyebrows furrowed, her long eyelashes covering most of her eyes, her lips slightly upturned, and her face was exquisitely beautiful.
His heart softened, and he asked, "Do you have enough money?"
Liang Liangwei nodded: "That's enough, my salary is quite high."
Shen Zhengming scoffed: "Could it be high enough for you to buy a house?"
Liang Liangwei glanced at him and said, "Brother, don't expose my struggles."
Shen Zhengming understood the meaning in her eyes: "Is the house mortgaged?"
Seeing that she remained silent, he knew he had guessed correctly and said helplessly, "Why didn't you come to me?"
Liang Liangwei: "Why should I ask you to help me buy a house? Mortgages are fine too~ I can pay it off slowly with my own ability, and I feel more secure living in the house."
Shen Zhengming: "That's just showing off."
Liang Liangwei chuckled: "You are not a fish, how can you know the joy of a fish?"
Shen Zhengming smiled and changed the subject: "You've been away long enough, it's time to go back and visit. The Commander may not say it, but I can tell he misses you."
Liang Liangwei tilted her head and asked, "How do you know? Did he tell you?"
Shen Zhengming: "I could tell. I visited him every month, and he would always ask me if I had any news about you. Knowing that you were in Huacheng and that I could contact you, I still helped you hide it from him. I felt quite guilty."
