Chapter 75
Meng Huaizhi was sometimes high-profile, sometimes low-profile, and could always crash Weibo with his unexpected operations, causing the whole nation to eat melon.
[??? What does ‘changing the wedding anniversary’ mean?]
[So the secret marriage is real? But the divorce was to get married again? What a novel operation.]
[? I’ve brought the Civil Affairs Bureau to you… oh, I don’t need to… so the Civil Affairs Bureau is also a part of your play :)]
[Wuwu, say something. What’s going on with you two?]
A proposal was a big deal, more important than the official announcement after a confession. Of course, Shen Wu had no reason not to respond.
He thought for a moment, posted the marriage certificate and divorce certificate from four years ago, and did not hide anything, directly posting them on Weibo with the date of registration.
@Driver Shen Wu: Four years ago, Huaizhi-ge had to get married early to comply with his elders’ wishes for his musical dream. It just so happened that the two of us and our families were on good terms, so we had a contract marriage. As for what happened later, you all know ^ – ^
After explaining, he reposted Meng Huaizhi’s Weibo post and no longer shied away from expressing his love.
@Driver Shen Wu: I like it [kiss][kiss][kiss]//@Meng Huaizhi: Changing the wedding anniversary…
Shen Wu’s explanation was another stone that stirred up a thousand waves.
[You two are doing a marriage-first-love-later!! A Jinjiang novel is right next to me??]
[Where is it a marriage-first-love-later? Didn’t the two of them like each other a long time ago? They didn’t know that the other person also liked them and both thought it was a contract marriage, tsk tsk tsk.]
[It’s clearly a childhood sweetheart’s mutual secret crush, ahhhhhh.]
[I’m so happy, wuwuwuwu.]
After a few dozen minutes, a few familiar IDs appeared one after another in his comment section.
[@Actress Lin Yanran: Congratulations! Be sweet for a lifetime! [heart]]
[@Actor Liang Shu: Congratulations! Live happily together! [heart]]
The similar blessing comments from the two actor friends caused another wave of heated discussion.
[Wait a minute, why are your comments only thirty seconds apart? Could it be that you’re together?]
[Liang-ge’s blessing is clearly copied from Yanran, hahaha.]
[Hahaha, LMAO.]
Skipping these.
Shen Wu casually scrolled through the netizens’ comments.
[@Mengzs0427: ????? Contract marriage??? You’ve really got something. You two come to me immediately after you get back. We’ll have a good talk.]
Among the uniform congratulations and blessings, this comment with an unfriendly tone was particularly abrupt.
Without Shen Wu having to say anything, many netizens had already rushed up to defend him, building a high-rise under this comment.
[Who are you? Why should they go to you?]
[Looking at the ID, is it a Meng Huaizhi solo stan? It was your gege who made the official announcement first. What are you doing here at Wuwu’s? Bullying our Wuwu for debuting late?]
[Everyone, wait. This person doesn’t seem to be a Huai-ge fan. His surname is Meng…]
Shen Wu’s heart skipped a beat.
Before long, the netizens had dug up a lot of information about “Mengzs0427” through this person’s ID and the few words on his Weibo.
[Could he be the chairman of the Meng Corporation, Meng Zhenshen?]
[The Meng Corporation? Could he be Huai-ge’s…]
[Holy crap, it seems to be…]
Shen Wu: “…”
He quickly put his phone on airplane mode to prevent Meng Zhenshen’s call from coming in.
Meng Zhenshen was not sure about the authenticity of his Weibo statement, but he knew from the trending topic that the two children were on vacation on an island, so he did not call directly, but only sent him a few messages on WeChat.
Shen Wu had been busy looking at Weibo just now and had only just noticed the unread messages.
Grandpa: Are you busy now?
Grandpa: If you’re not busy, give me a call.
If it weren’t for Shen Wu seeing Meng Zhenshen’s Weibo comment in advance, he would probably have called without knowing anything.
After Meng Huaizhi had finished his shower, he first picked up his phone on the table and walked towards Shen Wu. His footsteps paused midway, “…Grandpa?”
Shen Wu turned his head and saw his lit-up screen, and quickly rushed over, “Don’t answer!!”
Meng Huaizhi did not ask any more questions and decisively hung up on his own grandfather.
Shen Wu continued to explain, “Oh no, I forgot to hide it from Grandpa when I posted on Weibo to explain our divorce. Now he knows that we were in a contract marriage before…”
“I know,” Meng Huaizhi pulled his grandfather into the blacklist without another word and first comforted Shen Wu, “Don’t worry. We’ll explain it in person when we get back.”
Shen Wu’s brow was not relaxed, and his heart was uneasy, “Then let’s go back tomorrow…”
Meng Zhenshen could have waited a little longer, but who knew that the two of them would refuse to answer the phone in unison. His anger flared up, and he directly verified his Weibo with his real name and shouted at them from afar.
@Meng Zhenshen: @Meng Huaizhi, you explain it to me clearly.
@Meng Zhenshen: @Meng Huaizhi, I told you to get married early, not to joke about your marriage! And certainly not to just find someone to marry to deal with me! And you even found Wuwu to act with you. How old is he? Are you trying to make this old man’s life too easy?!
Thanks to the two of them’s temporary escape, the netizens had gotten to eat a rare and wonderful melon from a rich and powerful family.
However, this melon from a rich and powerful family did not have the smell of dog blood at all.
[Look at how angry our grandpa is, but it seems that he’s not just angry that Huai-ge got married to deal with him, but also that he’s irresponsible towards Wuwu?]
[One calls him by his full name and the other calls him Wuwu. It’s obvious that there’s no dog blood here. Let’s disperse.]
[Tsk tsk, not only does Huai-ge love him so much, but our grandpa also loves him so much~]
[Who doesn’t? Now my parents have also become Miwu, and they’re even more into chasing stars than I am, hhh.]
After a while, Meng Zhenshen also knew that it was not appropriate to air his family’s dirty laundry in public, so he deleted the Weibo post himself.
Meng Huaizhi pulled him out of the blacklist to prevent him from doing anything irrational again, so he had no choice but to call him first.
He put it on speaker so that Shen Wu could listen with him.
Shen Wu was so guilty that he didn’t dare to face Meng Zhenshen. He held his mouth tightly, for fear of letting out the slightest sound.
“Meng Huaizhi,” Meng Zhenshen first called out in a low voice. “You’re also afraid of losing face, right? You had to wait until now to call me?”
“No,” Meng Huaizhi was unhurried. “I just finished showering and was about to rest. I was originally planning to go back and talk to you in person tomorrow.”
Meng Zhenshen was silent for a few seconds.
Although Meng Huaizhi had said “just finished showering and was about to rest,” he was not alone now. It was late at night, and he was in the same room with Shen Wu…
“Ahem,” Meng Zhenshen cleared his throat. “It’s not like you don’t know that I can’t joke about your marriage. You just found someone to deal with me. I can’t agree. The reason I agreed to your marriage with Wuwu, and to your marriage with a man, is all because I like this child. Don’t you know? You’re not only lying to me, but also to him. You’re being irresponsible to him…”
“Because I have ulterior motives,” Meng Huaizhi said. “I’ve liked him for a long time, but I always thought he only saw me as an older brother. At that time, when he learned of the choice you gave me and asked if I wanted to marry him, I agreed without much thought.”
“When did you… to him?”
“After graduating from high school.”
“…” Meng Zhenshen did a math problem in the silence. It was known that Meng Huaizhi’s family affection had changed when he was eighteen, and at the same time, he was four years older than Shen Wu.
18-4=14
“Okay, it’s good that you’re fine now. If you dare to lie to me again…” Meng Zhenshen’s tone changed. “And there’s no need to tell him these things. Rest early, and don’t tire him out too much.”
He then hung up the phone in a hurry.
Shen Wu had not expected this matter to be resolved so easily, and at the end, Meng Zhenshen’s words were so gentle and loving that it was unlike him.
“Grandpa is not angry with you. He’s angry because I was irresponsible to you,” Meng Huaizhi rubbed his chin thoughtfully. “He’s also…”
“Also what?”
“Worried that I’ll tire you out too much.”
The more Shen Wu listened, the more he couldn’t understand, and he frowned in confusion.
“Alright, it’s all resolved,” Meng Huaizhi smiled, pulled him to the bed, his interest not affected at all, and eagerly leaned down to kiss his neck.
In the overwhelming itch, Shen Wu looked at Meng Huaizhi, who was on top of him for the convenience of kissing him, and suddenly realized.
…He knew!
How could the legendary figure in the business world, Meng Zhenshen, have such a shallow misunderstanding of their relationship, just like those netizens?
