Chapter 38 He Wants to Open His Eyes and See the World
As the vice principal of a prestigious private high school, Miao Yuyan is very busy and has also enrolled her son in many extracurricular training classes.
She spent the afternoon at the beauty salon until a little after 4 p.m., then hurriedly left with her son, Song Jiaming.
After the woman left, Pan Li continued to give Lu Ming an essential oil back massage, focusing on relaxing the muscles in his neck, shoulders, and back.
It feels so good!
I almost fell asleep.
Around six o'clock, Rui Rui called to report: "Dad, I feel that Mom is much better than before. Apart from envying us for living in a mansion, she didn't make things difficult for us. She even said that she wants to be friends with Dad and discuss things properly!"
Practice teaches people; they learn it in no time.
Now that I'm divorced, without a man to help with expenses, and having to pay a mortgage of 5,000 yuan every month, it's not a good feeling.
In the end, it's very likely that you'll have to use credit cards and online loans to repay the debts. Just as senior Cheng Yong'an predicted, the debts will only snowball and become more and more troublesome, eventually leaving you with nothing.
They couldn't even keep their houses.
At the time, Cheng Yong'an dared to let Lu Ming scheme against Guo Haili like that because he had seen too many similar situations in the bank.
With low income, high consumption, and susceptibility to various commercial sales pitches, it's easy for them to run into trouble.
Lu Ming sighed and scolded his daughter, "Your mother probably wants to borrow money!"
"Dad, could you lend me just a little bit?"
Rui Rui knew perfectly well that although both her parents had been hiding money before their divorce, judging from the past few months, her father was definitely the more capable one.
So many hidden!
"We'll see!"
Lu Ming did not agree to his daughter's request. He was indeed not short of money now, but he preferred to spend it on Pan Li's beauty salon rather than lend it to his ex-wife.
There are no benefits at all.
After Lu Ming hung up the phone, Pan Li squeezed out another dollop of essential oil and gently comforted him, "You don't need to worry about your ex-wife. She's really annoying. Just pretend you've found a new girlfriend, and she won't dare to cause any more trouble."
"That makes sense!"
Lu Ming nodded repeatedly, thinking that women really knew how to deal with other women.
"Women are all like this. As long as she feels that she has no value to you and you are strong enough, she won't dare to mess with you. On the contrary, she will be more or less fearless."
Pan Li then said with a smile.
So accurate!
Lu Ming looked at her in surprise and sincerely praised her, "I think you are particularly smart, and you see things very clearly."
He had a lot of misunderstandings about Pan Li before, feeling that this woman was very irrational, which was why she insisted on divorcing a bank credit department director like Lao Yang.
In fact, they live a very insightful life.
"If you were really smart, you wouldn't have gone to nursing school. You've just run a beauty salon for over ten years, dealing with women all day long, and you've heard too much of the gossip and trivialities of family life."
Pan Li smiled lightly, seemingly unconcerned, but she definitely still appreciated the man's praise.
Especially tall, muscular, and handsome men like Lu Ming.
Her family was quite poor before; her parents were registered as rural residents, and she had an older sister and a younger brother.
Because of having more children than allowed, her parents had to live in hiding with their children to avoid fines, which meant she could only barely get into a nursing school.
Fortunately, she was very pretty, and Lao Yang took a liking to her as soon as she started her internship at the Second Municipal Hospital in the province.
At that time, Lao Yang had just been promoted to a middle-level position in the bank. He was in his thirties, full of vigor and ambition. While having his appendix removed at the hospital, he won over Pan Li.
It's basically just giving money.
Upon hearing that Pan Li's family was struggling financially and that they couldn't even afford her younger brother's high school tuition, he immediately took out several stacks of banknotes from his handbag.
During the most frenzied years of the domestic real estate industry, the middle and upper management of various banks also had a lot of money.
"I know Lao Yang is financially well-off and has been kind to me, but I can't have a next life. I've pretended not to know about the money he's hiding, and I've never asked for it!"
While giving Lu Ming an essential oil back massage, Pan Li chatted about her marriage, her fair and smooth hands gently pushing across Lu Ming's muscles.
She now owns a house and a car, her own beauty salon, and a yoga and fitness center she runs with a friend; all her businesses are doing reasonably well.
There is no problem in supporting her and her son Yang Yunhao.
Having lived to this age, she understands very clearly that she cannot compare herself to her best friend, Mei Yanping.
It's enough to be better than some but worse than others.
There's no need to wrong yourself. Anyway, Lao Yang and his ex-wife have never lost contact, and he's always secretly supporting her. So, it's better to cut ties completely and let the old couple who were originally married be together.
She wasn't sure if she could live well after the divorce; she figured she wouldn't find a better man than Lao Yang, but she didn't care.
To be precise, she just wants to find a man around her age, around 36 or 37, who works out regularly and has a stable job.
After chatting about her own affairs, Pan Li pushed up Lu Ming's spine and praised him, "Da Ming, your physique is truly perfect. There are quite a few men taller than you at the gym, but your legs are obviously longer and your muscles are very symmetrical, making you look even more handsome."
"It's alright!"
Lu Ming also quite enjoyed being praised by beautiful mature women. They were all experienced women who had seen a lot and knew a lot about beauty and ugliness.
After pushing down the spine, Pan Li slowly massaged downwards.
This is making me feel a bit uncomfortable.
Fortunately, Pan Li tugged at his shoulder and said, "Turn around and relax your chest and abdominal muscles."
Lu Ming obediently turned around, not daring to look at such a beautiful mature woman as Pan Li, and simply closed his eyes, pretending to fall asleep again.
Professionals are professionals.
After pressing for another ten minutes or so, Pan Li suddenly teased, as if joking, "You've been holding it in for so long, since you're so handsome, how about I help you relieve some pressure?"
Lu Ming was slightly embarrassed, but still joked, "Isn't this a high-end beauty salon? You offer this kind of service?"
Forty years of life experience taught him that he must be as steadfast as a rock, especially in times like these.
Middle-aged divorced mothers with children face endless troubles!
Pan Li laughed without hiding anything, "Some female clients like full-body treatments and always go to the same female technician. Of course, I, as the boss, won't tell them!"
"oh!"
Lu Mingchang realized that this was indeed a blind spot in his knowledge.
"There's one in our mom group!" Pan Li whispered again, giving a mysterious hint.
Who is it?
Lu Ming was quite curious, guessing it was one of the three mature women: Mei Yanping, Xue Meiting, and Miao Yuyan.
Because there are only six people in this single mothers' group. Besides him, the other four are middle-aged divorced women with children, and the last one is a young woman like Yao Yao who wants to get pregnant before marriage.
It's unlikely for Yao Yao; the young girl isn't that outgoing.
"Of course I can't tell you about the client's affairs, but I think you can guess!" Pan Li said with a smile.
"Actually, this kind of thing is quite normal!"
Lu Ming gave up on investigating.
On another note, he found that Pan Li was quite shrewd; she flirted with him and immediately changed the subject, as if she had just been joking.
He waited impatiently for the bait to bite, pleading with the monkey in every way he could.
Master!
He's definitely a master!
But given Lu Ming's life experience and composure, he certainly wouldn't fall for it.
So what if he's forty? As long as he focuses on learning and training now, and works hard and positively, he still has a lot of room for advancement in the future!
He wants to open his eyes and see the world!
