"Dad, on such a happy day, can you please not talk about those unhappy things?" Mary said to Mark with a stern face.

"Don't mention it, don't mention it. My grades were not good when I was in school, but I'm doing fine now." Wang Xiaomi said to Mark.

In order to speak for Ma Li, Wang Xiaomi did not hesitate to bring up her own dark history.

He could barely get into a third-tier university in Beijing, which proved that Wang Xiaomi’s grades in every subject were just around the passing line.

"Forget it, I'm different from you. At least my grades are much better than yours."

Ma Li did not appreciate Wang Xiaomi's kindness and always felt towards Wang Xiaomi like a little girl whose favorite toy was taken away.

Moreover, Wang Xiaomi’s example does not seem convincing at all.

Wang Xiaomi has no career aspirations at all. Like Mark, she just lies back and does nothing.

"Clean up, it's almost time to start cooking. We'll have our first meal at home in our new house."

Mark didn't wait for Mary to continue poking Wang Xiaomi's heart.

Wang Xiaomi is definitely not a person with a good temper, and her patience is actually very limited. She could not withstand Ma Li's several provocations. If these two were to get into a fight, Mark would be in a difficult position.

"I'm going to clean up my room and Manayu's room."

"Then I'll clean up the master bedroom and study." Wang Xiaomi said.

"Okay, leave everything outside to me."

There was no conflict in the division of labor among the three people. It was the first time that they occupied their own territory.

Although Mark just asked the housekeeping department to clean the house yesterday, it wouldn't affect doing it again.

After packing up, the three of them gathered together to cook.

Mark cooked quickly enough that the two people helping him hardly had time to finish.

Being so busy, they had no time to continue bickering with each other, so it looked quite harmonious.

But today's lesson was still a lesson for Mark if these two still feel uncomfortable being together.

Make sure you don't have to bring the two together.

"Lily, is it our doorbell ringing?"

"It seems to be true."

When Mary heard the doorbell, she left the kitchen and went to open the door.

"Why are there people coming here just after we moved in?" Wang Xiaomi asked.

"Neighbors, maybe a teacher from our school." Mark replied uncertainly.

Although the neighbors in the buildings are indifferent, Mark's house is allocated by the school after all.

Not all of the neighbors are strangers. It’s normal for some colleagues to come over and say hello when they see Mark moving in.

When Mark was wondering which colleague it was, Mary's voice came from outside:

"Dad, stop working, my grandma is here."

"Why is your mother here?"

Ling Mingyu came suddenly, and Wang Xiaomi was obviously caught off guard and not prepared.

"I don't know either. I didn't tell her that I was moving today."

Not only did Mark not invite Ling Mingyu, but in Mark's impression, Ling Mingyu shouldn't even know that Mark had a new house.

"What should I do?" Wang Xiaomi was obviously a little panicked.

"Don't be afraid, my mother doesn't eat people."

Mark comforted Wang Xiaomi, turned down the fire in the kitchen, and left the kitchen with Wang Xiaomi.

After coming out, Mark saw that Ling Mingyu was empty-handed, which was obviously a sign of ill intentions.

Or if it's me, helping someone warm the house, I would at least buy something, at least a fruit basket.

"Grandma, come and see my room. Now Manou has his own room."

Ma Li pulled Ling Mingyu and was about to go to Ma Li's room.

"Let's see later. Let me go see your dad first. It's New Year's Day and he hasn't come back yet. If I don't come to see her, I'm afraid he will forget that he has a mother."

There was a sense of sarcasm in the way Ling Mingyu spoke to Ma Li.

Although in previous years, Mark would bring his family to spend New Year's Day with Ling Mingyu.

But the situation this year is very different from the past and naturally cannot be the same as before.

"I'm busy moving. I don't have time."

Mark didn't expose the broken relationship between the two people, but gave a perfunctory explanation.

"Auntie." Wang Xiaomi greeted Ling Mingyu.

"Why is she here too?"

Ling Mingyu's face was already dark, and it became even darker when he saw Wang Xiaomi.

When Mark and Wang Xiaomi are together, normal people think that Mark is the one who gets the upper hand, after all, youth is priceless.

But Ling Mingyu's face was even more stinky than Wang Lanfang's when she met Mark.

I'm not happy with even basic courtesy or perfunctory responses.

From this point, you can tell that Ling Mingyu's mother is more difficult to deal with than Wang Xiaomi's mother.

"Moving is a lot of work, so I asked Xiaomi to come and help. Thanks to Xiaomi, otherwise we wouldn't be able to finish it now."

"Can't you clean up slowly if you can't finish it? Who is she? You just brought her home."

Ling Mingyu was just looking for trouble on purpose. She knew that Wang Xiaomi was Mark's girlfriend, but she still wanted to embarrass Wang Xiaomi.

"Wang Xiaomi is my girlfriend. It's normal for her to come home with me. It's nothing wrong if she comes over for a while or stays with me."

Mark took Wang Xiaomi's hand and said.

Since Ling Mingyu has this attitude, Mark must give Wang Xiaomi absolute support.

"Have I admitted that she is your girlfriend?"

"Does it matter whether you admit it or not? Who is my girlfriend? Can't I just admit it myself? I've never heard of such a thing requiring someone other than the person concerned to admit it."

Fortunately, this is at Mark's house. It feels like if I took Wang Xiaomi to the courtyard.

Wang Xiaomi was just like Mark, and was kicked out of the house.

“Mark, it’s a big holiday, you have to make me angry, right?”

"Why would I make you angry? Isn't this a big holiday? Do you have to pick a fight?"

Mark replied to Ling Mingyu.

"Just for this little devil, you don't even want your mother?" Ling Mingyu pointed at Wang Xiaomi and said.

"Don't think you are a little devil just because you are young. What's wrong with you older people? Why can't you see others are young..."

Mark's scumbag father really poisoned Mark for decades.

"Dad, isn't the kitchen still cooking? Go back and take a look. I'll just show grandma around."

Seeing the two people getting angry and their words becoming more and more unpleasant, Ma Li tried to smooth things over and pulled Ling Mingyu into the room.

"Uncle, am I that bad? Your mother is so hostile to me."

After being pulled back to the kitchen by Mark, Wang Xiaomi was also very angry and distressed.

If it wasn't for Mark's face, Wang Xiaomi would have directly fought with Ling Mingyu, and Mark would not be surprised at all.

"This has nothing to do with you. This is between me and her."

Mark said helplessly.

Ling Mingyu targeted Wang Xiaomi, which had nothing to do with Wang Xiaomi herself. It was just because Wang Xiaomi was Mark's girlfriend, and he implicated an individual simply because of his opinion on the matter.

Because she was thinking about Tian Ye, she didn't want Mark to find any other woman.

You find fault without even understanding the situation.

After going through the whole thing, the only thing I can say is that Wang Xiaomi is young and my opposition is groundless.

Compared to Wang Lanfang, she was really unreasonable. "Are you and your mother on such a bad terms? I've never heard you and Lily talk about it before."

If Wang Xiaomi had heard Ma Li talk about Ling Mingyu.

The rumors and what I saw with my own eyes are completely different people.

“It has only become like this recently.”

"Uncle, how about I leave first?" Wang Xiaomi obviously didn't want to make things difficult for Mark.

"Why are you leaving? If you leave, doesn't that mean we are scared? We will have to face this kind of thing sooner or later."

This is not Mark fanning the flames.

Mark's own home is the most suitable place to talk about this.

It won't feel like being in a courtyard house where you're away from home, nor will it be as embarrassing as quarreling outside.

"Then how are we going to eat later? Do you think your mother is willing to sit down and eat with me?"

"Wait a moment, maybe when we go out, the old lady will be gone." Mark said expectantly.

Ling Mingyu was not a person who knew how to tolerate or compromise. It was normal for her to leave as she was unhappy staying in Mark's new house.

"Dad, my grandma is in my room. She wants you to come over."

After a while, Mary came into the kitchen and said.

"You haven't left yet?"

"I'm not leaving. I'm waiting to settle accounts with you."

"How did your grandma know the address of our new house?"

"Didn't you ask me to deliver the welfare benefits from school to him yesterday? Since we're not going back to grandma's house on New Year's Day, how could she not ask?"

Mary's meaning was very clear, it was Mary who exposed Mark.

In the initial stage, Mark could ask Mary to keep it a secret.

Now that they are all moving here, Mark can't possibly tell Mary not to tell anyone his home address.

There was no reason at all to not tell Ling Mingyu where he lived.

"I shouldn't have let you go yesterday. You told your grandma, why didn't you tell me?"

It is actually normal to send a copy of whatever the school distributes to Ling Mingyu.

The key point is that Mary cheated Mark.

If Mary had told Mark about it, Mark would at least be mentally prepared.

Knowing such a big thing, Ling Mingyu would most likely come uninvited.

It is very likely that he would not choose to let Wang Xiaomi come home to help today.

"I didn't expect you to bring this person here." Ma Li glanced at Wang Xiaomi.

"Lily, Dad can only tell you that your guitar has gone far away from you."

Mark told Mary that this was the result of the little cotton jacket leaking air.

"What do you want to say to me?"

After entering, Mark pulled a stool and sat down, then asked Ling Mingyu who was sitting on Mary's bed.

"When did you buy this house?"

"It's been a long time. It's been more than half a year."

"Where did you get the money to buy a house?"

Ling Mingyu actually knows Mark's financial situation very well, otherwise she wouldn't always dislike Mark for having no future and having a bad attitude towards life.

"I won the lottery."

"Who are you trying to fool? You can't even win a prize by drinking a beverage, and you say you win by winning the lottery. Win another one and show me."

Where did this money come from? It was rare that Mark didn't fool people, but Ling Mingyu didn't believe it.

"Then where do you think I get the money?" Mark asked Ling Mingyu.

"You used your and Tian Ye's savings."

"Have you ever taken a good look at my house? Is the little savings that Tian Ye and I have enough to buy a toilet for this house?"

No matter how out of touch with society a person is, he or she will understand the concept of housing prices.

"So why didn't you tell me you won the lottery?"

"I'm not a child. I won't tell you everything. What does it matter whether you win or not? Won't life be the same?" Mark said perfunctorily.

There will definitely be a difference in what is said, Ling Mingyu will tell Tian Ye.

Mark is rich and can let Tian Ye change her lifestyle without getting divorced.

This would greatly increase the risk for Mark to marry a young girl.

"Mark, you've really grown up and become independent. You don't tell me anything. You didn't tell me about your divorce, you didn't tell me about winning the lottery, and you didn't tell me about buying a house. Am I still your mother? What else can I know about your affairs?"

"What's the point of letting you know? You know I have a girlfriend, do you support me?"

After Ling Mingyu said this, Mark felt that the things he didn't tell Ling Mingyu were going smoothly.

There will be twists and turns after you speak, and saying nothing is the right choice.

"How can I support you? You become bad when you have money, and you divorce and find a little witch like this when you have a little money. What's the difference between you and those ungrateful, fickle scumbags now?"

"Don't accuse me of anything. I became rich after my divorce, not because I became rich that I got divorced. It was Tian Ye who wanted to divorce me, not me who filed for divorce. What ungratefulness and fickleness have nothing to do with me."

Ling Mingyu never wants Mark to do well, and she has no pressure to blame Mark for anything.

"It makes no difference. It makes no difference that you live in such a big house and let your ex-wife and your son live in such a small apartment."

He also knew the apartment where Tian Ye and Manou lived, so there was no doubt that Ling Mingyu had been there.

Ling Mingyu came to Mark's house twice in more than half a year.

The number of visits to the apartment in the field would definitely not be as few as two times.

"Tian Ye is my ex-wife. Whether she lives in an apartment or a villa has nothing to do with me. As for Manou, I don't ignore him. Didn't you see that I reserved a room for him just now?"

Although he only gave the smallest room in the house to Manou, Mark left it to Manou.

But this is the position of the younger brother in Manju's family, and it is the same in every family.

They are arranged in order of age from oldest to youngest.

And the room was not small at all, at least it was bigger than the room that Mary and Manou had in their original house.

"Now that you have this new house, what about your original house?"

"Whatever you say, go ahead and live there if you want. I have no objection."

Although Ling Mingyu's courtyard house is nice to live in, most people of Ling Mingyu's generation still want to live in an apartment building.

Although Ling Mingyu's courtyard house was well renovated, the courtyard can only be renovated, but not the alley.

If the location is not facing the street, the courtyard house cannot compare with the building in all aspects.

Even if the siheyuan has a yard, it is still down-to-earth.

Compared with living in a building, both have their own advantages, but neither has an absolute advantage.

"I have somewhere to go. You've already moved here, so why should I move to your house?"

It seems that Ling Mingyu has really thought about living with Mark.

This is a scary thing, although Mark has never objected to living with his parents.

But Mark and Ling Mingyu have different personalities and ideas.

This means there is no basis for them to live together, and Mark doesn't even dare to be polite to him.

"Then why are you asking this? If it doesn't work, just leave it empty for now. It's not impossible to go back and live there occasionally."

"I mean you give this house to Tianye and Manao to live in."

"Don't you know that Tian Ye is a big boss now? How can he be interested in a house like this?" (End of this chapter)
