Was Aquaman’s ex-husband cremated today?

Chapter 240 You Are Not Being Stubborn

The old lady came to visit suddenly, and I don’t know why.

Little Monkey King kept rubbing against him at his feet, so Li Qingwen gently pushed it away with his foot. After the kettle was boiled, he sat down, made a cup of water, and handed it to the old lady.

The old lady sat down, pondered for a moment and said, "I heard from Yongan that you are living well by yourself now. Do you plan to live alone forever?"

Under the table, Little Wukong rubbed against Li Qingwen again and again. Seeing that his master ignored him, he became a little angry.

Li Qingwen was afraid that it would cry out, so he simply held it in his arms.

“No specific plans, just living in the present moment.”

The old lady stared at Xiao Wukong with a gloomy gaze: "Will you go to your uncle Liang's birthday party?"

Li Qingwen: “Yeah.”

The old lady held out her hand to Little Wukong: "In what capacity?"

Little Wukong barked at her, but Li Qingwen quickly held his head down: "Uncle Liang is my elder in the company. He taught me a lot about how to speak and do things."

The old lady understood what he heard and glanced at Li Qingwen with her dark eyes. The relationship between people can be one or many, and she may not have said all of them.

"Have you ever met Liang Chaosheng's son?"

Li Qingwen: “Yeah.”

Old lady: "Are you interested in him?"

Li Qingwen glanced at Aunt Lan standing next to him, then looked back at the old lady.

"Kevin is a friend worth associating with and trusting," Li Qingwen responded.

The old lady fell silent, not wanting to ask further questions. After a moment of contemplation, she said bluntly, "Why don't you make peace with Yongan?"

They were advised to separate at the beginning of the year, and now, less than a year has passed, they are being advised to reconcile.

Li Qingwen glanced at the old lady, avoiding the main point and saying lightly: "We are friendly partners at work, and there is no problem like you mentioned."

"You know what I mean. I'm here to solve this matter today."

The old lady slowed down and said, "Before, for the sake of equity, I hired someone to kidnap you. I know they used violence against you. I'm sorry, I was a mean person."

"..."

Li Qingwen remained silent, his eyes fixed on the teacup with tea leaves floating in it.

"This matter has nothing to do with Chunsheng. They don't know about it. I chose to do this because I couldn't stand by and watch Huayu's equity flow out."

Having said this, Li Qingwen didn't want to listen any further.

Her expression tensed a little: "I don't think you really want to apologize, so there's no need to force it."

The old lady was stunned for a moment, and stopped pretending: "Yes, if it weren't for the situation today, I wouldn't be here."

She was just as domineering as she was during the divorce. Whoever she wanted her grandson to marry had to get married.

Li Qingwen didn't have the capital to compete with her in the past, but it's different now. She will no longer allow herself to be manipulated by others.

The old lady said, "I am not here to ask for your forgiveness, I just want to make things clear. You can resent me, but there is no need to risk your own happiness to fight with me and stand in a stalemate with Yongan."

Li Qingwen: "I didn't argue with you. You reminded me again and again, which made me know my identity more clearly. My grandmother was not worthy of entering the Zhou family, and the same is true for me."

All the capital she has now was given by her grandmother. How could she go back to the home of someone who had degraded her grandmother to the point of being completely worthless and live a heartless life there?

"You are being stubborn, Xiaowen. The matter between your grandmother and I is a matter between our great-great-grandparents. I hope you won't get involved." The old lady grabbed the armrest of the sofa.

Li Qingwen raised his eyes. Was he the one who had been holding on to his grandmother?

Li Qingwen picked up the cup of water on the table, but found it was hot, so he put it down again.

At this time, the doorbell rang. Li Qingwen immediately got up and walked outside to open the door.

It was Mrs. Fan at the door, which meant Zhou Yongan hadn't come back yet.

Mrs. Fan handed her today's dinner: "Madam, eat it while it's hot."

Li Qingwen usually didn't ask her to change her name, but now she was afraid that the people inside would hear her, so she corrected her, "Sister Fan, call me Qingwen or Xiaowen from now on."

Mrs. Fan smiled and said, "I'm used to calling you that. I'll definitely change my name next time."

Back in the house, Li Qingwen took the meal and put it on the dining table, then went back to the sofa and sat down.

The old lady was considerate: "Let's go to the dining table and talk while we eat."

Li Qingwen didn't quite understand. The person in front of him was fundamentally averse to talking while eating and was particularly concerned about the etiquette of wealthy families.

So now we should adapt to local customs?

Seeing that the old lady had moved away, Li Qingwen had no choice but to go to the dining table and open the dishes prepared by Mrs. Fan.

The old lady said: "Eat it while it's hot. Don't worry about us."

Li Qingwen sat down and looked at the three dishes and one soup in front of him: chicken wings, grass carp cubes, water spinach, and mushroom, tomato and egg soup.

She picked up the spoon and started eating.

The old lady suddenly looked at Aunt Lan and said, "Go buy two meals outside, and we will eat here too."

Aunt Lan: “Yes.”

As soon as Aunt Lan left, the old lady sighed and said, "Let me tell you about your grandmother and I."

Li Qingwen was stunned for a moment and said nothing.

The old lady recalled: "Your grandmother knew Zhou Conglin even earlier. She was an outstanding young cadre at the time and was assigned to Licheng because of organizational deployment."

"Zhou Conglin was also working in the organization at the time. He was a well-known advanced intellectual in Licheng because he had received education abroad. He believed that farmers could also engage in individual business operations in addition to farming, so he founded a rural credit union after many twists and turns."

"Qin Xianghua, your grandmother was sent by the organization to assist him. The two of them ran around for the credit union's affairs, and gradually they developed a relationship at work and in life. When they were in love, all their friends knew about it. So when Zhou Conglin was forced to marry me, everyone thought I was the third party."

"The credit union had experienced several major crises, and gradually no one in the organization wanted to manage it. Later, Zhou Conglin simply took over the full responsibility, and under his management, the credit union was revived."

"Of course, I also have half the credit for this. If it weren't for the financial support from my mother's family, the credit union might not have been able to succeed."

"But I didn't expect that your grandmother also contributed a lot. The funds she subscribed were really borrowed by her own ability. She strongly supported Zhou Conglin's ideal of establishing a credit union."

"But she still lost, because Zhou Conglin chose me, who could stand shoulder to shoulder with him and had a similar identity and background, to be his wife."

"After I married Zhou Conglin, your grandmother left Licheng. She must have been mad at Zhou Conglin. Some said she left with the man who borrowed money from her. Some said she ran away to avoid debt."

"Anyway, after she left, Zhou Conglin looked for her many times. The more he couldn't find her, the worse Zhou Conglin's temper became. He even took his anger out on me for no reason, ignored me, didn't go home, and flirted with other women."

Hearing this, Li Qingwen raised his eyes and looked at the old lady: "Is it possible that my grandmother left because she was pregnant?"
