After making a phone call to Chen Zhiyi to make a dinner date, Mingliang suddenly realized that her current situation was no different from being unmarried. As a family member of an actor, she would have to live alone for a long time in the future. It was hard to think about it.

A little desperate.

She has been feeling a little depressed recently. Her mother's previous words still put pressure on her.

After work, Meimei was about to go to the parking lot, but she bumped into Shixia at the elevator. Different from her usual cheerfulness, Shixia looked a little listless today.

She stood next to Meiliang and waited for the elevator together, and suddenly asked: "Sister-in-law, are you eating alone tonight?"

Meili felt that something was wrong with her mood, so she said, "I have an appointment with a friend for dinner, are you okay?"

Shi Xia did not answer directly, but said pitifully: "Are you a good friend? Can you take me to have a meal?"

Under normal circumstances, her private time should be spent with Simon. When she was working today, Meili didn't notice anything wrong with Simon. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be a conflict.

But since Shixia asked, she could also take the opportunity to ask what was going on.

"No problem, come with me."

The elevator door opened, and the two of them walked all the way down to the parking lot on the first floor, and drove to the agreed upon location.

The place Chen Zhiyi made an appointment with was a newly opened hot pot restaurant. It didn't matter whether it was new or not. The point was that hot pot tasted very healing and was in line with Mei Liang's preferences.

When Meimei arrived with Shi Xia, Chen Zhiyi was already sitting on her seat. She was a little surprised to see Meimei bring someone with her.

Meili gave them a brief introduction: "My friend, Chen Zhiyi." Then she gestured to the other side, "Shi Juan's sister, Shi Xia."

Shi Xia greeted obediently: "Hello, sister!"

Chen Zhiyi gave her a kind smile and greeted her to sit down.

The dishes have been ordered. This is the tacit understanding between Meili and Chen Zhiyi. Meimei's laziness has been cultivated since childhood. When she is with Chen Zhiyi, she is always used to being the one being taken care of. And Chen Zhiyi's character is like taking care of others.

, they are considered friends, and they are a perfect match.

Chen Zhiyi's eyes stopped on Shi Xia's face, looked at it, and couldn't help complaining: "It's really unreasonable. Considering our relationship, I haven't officially met your teacher Shi until now, and I even met him today.

His sister."

Mingliang defended Shi Juan: "Isn't Teacher Shi Hong? His schedule is too full and he can't spare any time. When he goes on vacation, he will treat you and Dr. Xu to dinner."

Chen Zhiyi curled his lips. According to Teacher Shi's current popular method, the schedule may be scheduled until next year. Whether they can meet and have dinner before that is still unknown.

The store they came to was very busy, and the seats in the store were almost full. The waiters were so busy that they didn't touch the floor, and the air was filled with a strong smell of hot pot.

Some people don't like this noisy and smoky environment. Meili and Chen Zhiyi belong to another kind of people. They both like to go to crowded and lively places when eating, and they have a lively and vivid sense of happiness.

Bright eyes turned to Shi Xia, feeling that she was abnormal to the naked eye today. She usually has a happy and mature personality, and she must be the one to liven up the atmosphere in this kind of situation. But at this time, she sat quietly,

My mobile phone is placed on the table, and I occasionally open it to glance at it, then close it again, repeating this process several times.

Something was wrong, so Meili decided to take care of it.

She patted Shixia on the shoulder and asked her, "Tell me, are you emotionally frustrated?"

Shi Xia was shocked: "Sister-in-law, you don't look like you have much experience in love. How can you see the problem so accurately?"

This doesn't require any eyesight. Anyone with eyes can see that something is wrong with her, right?

"Si Nan bullied you? If you are wronged, just file a complaint with me and I will definitely seek justice for you."

Meimei didn't admit that she was trying to protect someone's shortcomings. She was completely from the same-sex point of view, so naturally she put Simon on the opposite side.

Shi Xia was silent for a while and began to talk about his troubles.

"It's not his problem. It's his ex-girlfriend who shows up and keeps contacting him. I have no experience and don't know how to deal with this kind of thing."

Chen Zhiyi was speechless: "What kind of bloody plot is this?"

In fact, Meili also wanted to complain, but thinking of her mentality of being a peacemaker, she had to endure it and said: "This matter is simple. If you mind, just tell him directly and give him a deadline to handle it as soon as possible."

Shi Xia admitted readily: "I'm quite concerned about it. I've read the message that woman sent him, and it's like tea. But I don't dare to talk to Si Nan seriously about this matter. I'm afraid he will think I

Being petty and unreasonable."

Unexpectedly, Shi Xia also started to struggle with emotional issues, which at least proved that she was really attracted to Simon.

Meimei smiled secretly, but said: "The most taboo thing in dating is hiding things. Frankness is really important. If you feel uncomfortable, you should tell him your thoughts. No one is so generous as to accept that his partner is missed by others.

, This has nothing to do with being petty."

After hearing what she said, Shi Xia felt that it seemed to make sense.

But Chen Zhiyi used these words to block Meimei: "You have a set of principles, have you done it yourself?"

Meili knew what she meant: "My situation is different."

Chen Zhiyi disagreed: "In my opinion, there is no difference. Will you tell Shi Juan what your mother said?"

Of course not.

Seeing that Mingliang didn't speak, Chen Zhiyi continued: "You don't want to say it because you think it will hurt Shi Juan, but you have to understand that if he doesn't know the problem from beginning to end, then your relationship will never be the same.

Let Auntie rest assured."

Hearing Chen Zhiyi keep mentioning his brother's name, Shi Xia couldn't help but interrupt.

"I'll interrupt, so sister-in-law, do you have any conflict with my brother?"

It shouldn't be, the two of them don't even spend much time together, so they don't have the chance to have conflicts, right? Yes, how could she forget about that scandal?

Thinking of this, Shi Xia quickly said: "Sister-in-law, you have to believe my brother, he will definitely not have anything to do with that woman. He has been in the entertainment industry for many years, and he has never had any problems in these years. He is a man

, I am very cautious about my feelings, and I am not the kind of person who is casual and fun-loving."

Mingliang didn't say anything. Just as the waiter pushed the food cart over, she started to arrange the table.

Shi Xia looked at her, feeling faintly worried.

Due to the nature of her brother's profession, it would be more appropriate to find a girlfriend or even a partner in the same industry. At least the living environment and pace of life are similar. If she were to find an amateur as her wife, she wouldn't be able to be open-minded.

Accept. Accept all kinds of weird rumors that may break out at any time, as well as the risk of separation in different places, and the possibility of falling in love with another person at any time.

But now that the matter has come to this point, the contradiction is in front of us, and we can only find a way to solve it.

After Mei Mei set the table, she looked at Shi Xia and said, "It's not that I don't trust Shi Juan, I just wonder if he and I are really suitable."

There were still some things she didn't dare to say to Shi Xia.

She trusts Shi Juan now, and Shi Juan is devoted to her now, but no one can guarantee the future.

Suddenly, Meili was a little shocked. It turned out that her mother's words had had such a profound impact on her.

The atmosphere fell into silence.

Shixia didn't know how to explain to her brother. In fact, she didn't have the confidence in her heart. Whether she liked it or not was one thing, but whether it suited her was another.

And Chen Zhiyi can completely understand Meili's mood. Regardless of other things, judging from the negative attitude of her parents, relationships that are not blessed are often prone to problems.

However, she still comforted Meimei and said: "Don't worry about these issues. There is no one who is 100% suitable in this world. Do you think Dr. Xu and I are suitable? In terms of personality, we are completely in two worlds, and now we are not the same."

We still came together."

Hearing this, Shi Xia felt that he had the right to speak, and said quickly: "That's right! Si Nan and I are two types of people who can't be compared with each other..."

Halfway through, he suddenly stopped.

She and Simon have very different identities, education, and growth environments, and they may not necessarily have good results. They are not really positive examples.

"No matter what, my brother is definitely trustworthy. Sister-in-law, don't think too much. If you have any problems in your heart, just tell him directly. Don't feel uncomfortable secretly by yourself."

Seeing the two of them comforting themselves in turn, Mei Mingli smiled and said: "It's okay, I'm not the kind of character who sighs. After finishing this meal, I will turn the page. Anyway, nothing actually happened. I just like this

It’s just unfounded worry.”

She waved and said, "Eat, eat! I've been hungry for a long time."

The topic was temporarily changed, and the three of them began to focus on eating, chatting about one thing or another.

In the middle of the meal, Mingliang's cell phone suddenly rang. She picked it up and looked at it, then frowned.

After hearing the complaint, Chen Zhi asked her: "Your mother?"

Meimei nodded and pressed the answer button.

On the other side of the phone, my mother's voice didn't sound strange. She just said to her in a casual tone: "Come back for dinner tomorrow night. Your dad hasn't seen you for a long time."

Although the tone was normal, Meimei always felt that asking her to go back at this time was probably not just as simple as eating.

Should we give her a mixed doubles education?

She could still deal with her mother by being coquettish, but her father was not that easy to fool. Before, she suddenly proposed that she and Shi Juan get a marriage certificate. Her mother's reaction was even greater, but her father's attitude made people even more nervous. Because her father was in the mall.

For most of her life, she has developed a calm character. She would sit upright and not say much, but if a question was thrown at her suddenly, it would be difficult for her to parry.

Seeing that there was no movement on the phone, my mother asked again: "Can you come back tomorrow?"

Mei Liang came back to her senses and responded: "Okay, I'll go back after get off work."

After hanging up the phone, seeing Chen Zhiyi and Shi Xia looking at her worriedly, Meiliang raised her eyebrows and acted indifferently: "It's nothing, just let me go back for a meal tomorrow."

Chen Zhiyi hit the nail on the head: "Let's have a banquet at Hongmen."

Mingliang was noncommittal, and what she said was a bit like self-consolation: "When I suddenly proposed to get married, they all accepted the outrageous situation. No matter how serious it is now, it won't be worse than before. At most, it's just a nagging, and it should be fine."
