Meng Jingwei felt a pang of sympathy for Qing Muye for three seconds.
But what could she do?
What's more, she couldn't explain for Qing Muye.
"It shouldn't be. It's just a difference in our values. Besides, I was the one who filed for divorce." The only thing Meng Jingwei could do was not to 'pin a hat' on Qing Muye, thereby dispelling her friends' misunderstanding of him.
"Really?"
Chu Xue sipped her clear tea, her eyes filled with disbelief.
"Of course, it's true." Meng Jingwei nodded affirmatively, "Think about it, I grew up in the countryside, and there are big differences in our living habits. I didn't notice it at first when we were together, but now I really find that we're not compatible."
"Even if you're not compatible, there's a reason. A difference in values and living habits are no reason at all."
Ivan didn't believe it at all.
Lin Meng, who was already married, expressed understanding, "I can understand somewhat. It's like my ex-husband. Before we got married, we didn't find any incompatibility, but after marriage, various problems, trivial matters, indeed expose potential issues one by one..."
As she spoke, her gaze passed over Meng Jingwei and looked behind her, and her face immediately showed a look of surprise.
The other three noticed Lin Meng's strange gaze and also turned to look behind them.
It was fine not to look, but when they did, they were startled.
They saw a man and a woman walking out of the elevator, both handsome and beautiful, with distinguished temperaments, as if made for each other.
"Isn't that... President Qing?" Ivan's eyes widened, and for a long time, he didn't know what to say.
Chu Xue's face darkened, and she glanced at Meng Jingwei, "Is this what you call your difference in values?"
Lin Meng: "I... I take back what I just said."
Meng Jingwei and Qing Muye had only announced their divorce a few days ago. It was likely that the divorce certificate was not even cold yet, and Qing Muye was already out in public with another woman.
Meng Jingwei's three friends were furious.
Meng Jingwei and Qing Muye exchanged glances, equally surprised.
After calming down, Meng Jingwei took a silent breath, feeling that the current situation had become tricky.
When else could he not bring a woman out for a meal, but he had to do it now!
When they looked over, Tang Wanxing also saw them.
"Ye, is she your wife... ex-wife?"
She tilted her head and asked Qing Muye.
Qing Muye, as usual, remained calm, "Yes."
"Do you want to go over and say hello?"
"No need."
He wanted to go forward and say hello, but the sharp gazes of Lin Meng, Ivan, and Chu Xue made it clear they were looking for trouble. It was best for him to stay away from the battlefield.
However, the tree wants to remain still, but the wind doesn't stop.
Chu Xue suddenly stood up, "What a coincidence. I didn't expect to be so fated to meet President Qing here."
As the eldest daughter of the Chu Group, Chu Xue didn't need to be subservient to Qing Muye, so her tone was very strong, "Aren't you going to introduce the person by your side?"
As soon as she spoke, Ivan also sarcastically chimed in, "Just divorced your ex-wife, and already have someone new so soon? President Qing wouldn't have been cheating during the marriage, would he?"
Lin Meng glanced at Meng Jingwei and chose to remain silent.
Meng Jingwei, however, raised her hand to her forehead, not knowing what to do.
Since it was still early, there weren't many people on the VIP floor of Yi Pin Ju, so the commotion wouldn't be noticed by others.
Qing Muye walked over generously with Tang Wanxing.
He cast a cold glance at Chu Xue, looked at Meng Jingwei sitting in the booth, and then said to Chu Xue, "My friend, there's no need to introduce her to you."
Chu Xue let out a scoff, crossed her arms, and sized up Tang Wanxing from head to toe, only then remembering her identity.
"Isn't she the Best Actress who retired a few years ago? Just an actress, and President Qing actually treats her as his precious darling?"
