I Won Over My Best Friend’s Idol - Chapter 5

Li: What are you doing?

Mengmeng: Receiving a baptism of a mother’s love.

Li: ???

“All day long, all you know is playing with your phone. I say, how old are you now? Phones have radiation; it ruins your body. How will you have children in the future? Put down the phone quickly.”

Kong Yinmeng didn’t have time to reply to the dispensable netizen’s message before her biological mother snatched the phone and placed it on the table. She placed both hands obediently on her knees.

“Mom, please rest assured. I just had a full-body checkup; my health is particularly good. I guarantee I can give you a big, white, and chubby grandson.” Ever since she passed her 25th birthday last year, it seemed she had suddenly become part of the ‘difficulty-marrying household.’

Not only were her parents anxious to find her a partner, but even relatives and friends would always ask when she was getting married whenever they saw her. How would she know? She didn’t even have a partner get married to a ghost?

“You only know how to brush me off. Go to Auntie Ma’s house and buy a bottle of soy sauce. At noon today, I’ll make you something delicious.” Kong’s mother’s main purpose was to drive her out to meet people. Her daughter looked quite good and her income was okay; how was it that until now there hadn’t been a single discerning, good man?

Kong Yinmeng could not wait to flee the battlefield. Holding her phone, she ran out pitter-patter. Once out the door, she let out a long sigh of relief. It seemed next time she should find a man to come home with her; otherwise, she feared she wouldn’t even be able to enter the family door.

Auntie Ma’s family ran a small convenience store. She had been buying things at her house since she was a little tot. In the blink of an eye, she had changed from a little girl with twin ponytails into a young woman waiting for marriage.

“Mengmeng is back. How many days are you staying this time? Do you have a boyfriend yet?” Auntie Ma was also a warm-hearted citizen and was very concerned about her lifelong happiness.

“Leaving tomorrow. No rush for a boyfriend. Look at how good-looking I am; I can definitely get married. When the time comes, I’ll be the first to give you wedding candy!” Kong Yinmeng had responded to this question countless times; she had even checked various high-energy responses online and memorized them.

Auntie Ma was clearly amused by her words. After she bought a few more bags of snacks, Auntie Ma discounted the price by two yuan. For the somewhat stingy Auntie Ma, this was truly not easy.

She walked out of the convenience store, and her originally decent mood turned sour upon seeing a couple walking toward her. The reason for her current trip was that the male classmate she had a crush on for many years had gotten married.

Kong Yinmeng wanted to pass by as usual, pretending not to know him, but who would have thought he would take the initiative to say hello. “Mengmeng, you’ve come home?”

“Yeah. Is this your wife? She’s really beautiful, a very good match for you.” Actually, perhaps because of the interference of negative emotions, she didn’t think the other party was that beautiful, but polite words still had to be said.

After saying that, she wanted to leave. If she stayed longer, she feared she would give herself away. Let those who have already been missed remain missed.

“Mengmeng… Xiaoya, you go buy things first. I want to chat a bit more with my old classmate.” His wife’s eyes instantly filled with hostility, and the gaze she directed at Kong Yinmeng was extremely unkind, but she still obediently entered the store.

Kong Yinmeng frowned slightly, always feeling that he was very off today. Ever since he knew she liked him, he hadn’t spoken to her; the meaning of ‘dislike’ had been very clear.

“Mengmeng, you know I’m currently working in a small factory, earning only four or five thousand in salary a month. It’s only been half a month since the wedding, and she’s pregnant again. The pregnancy is unstable. You earn money so easily, could you lend me some?”

Kong Yinmeng: “???” The question marks on her forehead were about to fly to the sky. What kind of bizarre development was this?

The first thing the crush who hadn’t spoken to her for years said after getting married was to borrow money?!!

If she weren’t still mindful of her image, she would be somewhat like shouting curses right now. It was true she once liked him, but that was no reason to borrow money, especially…

“I don’t know where you heard that I earn money easily. If you lack money, you can borrow from relatives and friends. My mom is still at home waiting for me; I’m leaving first.” For the first time after seeing him, she ran exceptionally fast.

If he were still single now, she might consider lending it to him. The problem was he was already married, and she had spent half a month letting go of him to live a good life.

In her future, she didn’t want to have any more excessive involvements with him. She was a person looking for a partner to get married; she couldn’t be tangled up with other men.

She rejected him so bluntly and left so determinedly that Hao Bin didn’t even react. He knew she liked him, and after seeing the discussion about her in the classmate group, he wanted to open his mouth to borrow money.

But who would have known she would refuse without considering it for even a second. In his heart, he couldn’t help but feel some resentment. She clearly only needed to go traveling to earn money; why wouldn’t she lend it to him?

Kong Yinmeng ran back home panting. When Kong’s mother saw her appearance, she directly threw out a sentence. “Is there a dog chasing you from behind? I told you to come home and visit more but you wouldn’t listen; now even the dogs don’t recognize you.”

“Mom, what are you thinking? No dog is chasing me. I was afraid you were in a hurry for the soy sauce. Here.” Kong’s mother took the soy sauce and went into the kitchen. She sat down on the sofa listlessly, taking out her phone to chat with Lu Fangcao about the crush problem.

As a result, the chat screen was still stuck on the chat with 【Li】. Seeing the other party ask what she was eating for lunch and where she had gone, she chose to ask for a man’s perspective.

Mengmeng: I just went out to buy things. I want to ask you a question.

Mengmeng: If you knew a woman had liked you for many years, and you had no interest in her, would you borrow money from her? If you would, then why?

Li: You were asked for money by someone you like? So did you lend it?

Mengmeng: Didn’t lend it. He is already married; I don’t want to be involved with him.

Zheng Yi took the lunch his assistant bought. After seeing this reply, he showed a gratified smile. Fortunately, she wasn’t a woman whose head was not clear.

“Brother Zheng, what are you laughing at? Is the food not to your taste?” Xiao Huang casually glanced over and accidentally saw that he was chatting with someone; from the avatar, it looked like a woman!!

“Brother Zheng, you couldn’t be in a relationship, right? Brother Chen said you are currently at the peak of your career. If you fall in love, it’s all over! The fans won’t accept it!”

They were here today to film a commercial. Originally it could have been finished in one morning, but the female lead was uncooperative, so the schedule was delayed until the afternoon. At this time, staff members were everywhere outside.

Xiao Huang’s voice was not low; Zheng Yi even saw someone sneaking to the door preparing to eavesdrop.

“Don’t be so startled; be a bit more steady. I’m not in a relationship with anyone. I know I should prioritize my career right now. You should also eat quickly.” Paparazzi were everywhere; no matter how cautious he was in word and deed, he would occasionally get on the hot search because of some things.

His impression of Kong Yinmeng currently stayed at ‘not being his fan’; he didn’t have other thoughts. If Xiao Huang misunderstood and told the manager, he would have trouble again.

Because Xiao Huang was there, he didn’t continue chatting with Kong Yinmeng. On the other side, after not receiving his reply, she was restless on the sofa and eventually sluggishly slipped into the kitchen.

“Mom, let me tell you something. Just now on the way back, I ran into Hao Bin. He asked to borrow money from me…”

“What? He asked to borrow money from you? You didn’t lend it to him, right? I’m telling you, this child is finished. He argued with his wife on the wedding day, making a huge scene. Do you know the reason?”

Kong’s mother had a look of dislike. Kong Yinmeng didn’t expect her reaction to be so big. After thinking about it, she shook her head. “What’s the reason? I didn’t lend him the money.”

“It was caused by money. To get married, he borrowed a lot of external debt; I heard he even owes high-interest loans. He wanted to use the wedding gift money to fill the hole, but his wife was unwilling. The two of them argued, and finally his wife’s fetal energy was disturbed; she was sent to the hospital that very night. She stayed for a week before coming back. All face was lost!”

Kong Yinmeng hadn’t inquired that much, so naturally she didn’t know he owed a pile of debts for the wedding and was now borrowing money everywhere because of the need to repay.

His relatives had already been borrowed from completely during the wedding. His wife was determined not to let him touch the gift money, saying that was kept for the child. As the repayment date approached, he naturally became desperate.

“Then no wonder he spoke to me to borrow money. I also saw his wife; she doesn’t seem like an easy person to get along with.” That look in her eyes was like she wanted to eat her; it was quite scary.

Kong’s mother nodded in agreement. “His mother was also unwilling, but there was no choice. Someone is pregnant. I heard if he didn’t agree to the marriage, his wife would sue him for rape that means going to prison. He had no choice but to accept it.”

Kong Yinmeng: “…” Forget it. Anyway, she didn’t come home often; she wouldn’t worry about this. Old history has been turned over.

Because such a thing happened, her mood was bad again. Originally she planned to go traveling again within a month; now she decided to leave immediately upon returning.

While eating lunch, Kong’s father also came home from work. At the dinner table, he nagged once more about the partner issue, saying things like how his colleagues had already become grandfathers, while he hadn’t even seen the shadow of a son-in-law.

Kong Yinmeng was nagged into silence, only caring about burying her head in her food, pretending she hadn’t heard anything.

After lying on the bed, she saw Lu Fangcao, who had just come out of the blacklist. She casually clicked on her friend circle. Sure enough, it was again content about eating, drinking, and having fun. She didn’t know if Lu Fangcao ever got tired of repeating the same activities every day.

She gave a ‘like’ and then exited the friend circle, wanting to go on Weibo to take a look, when a phone call came through.

“Hello, little Mengmeng. Have cocoons grown in your ears yet?” Lu Fangcao’s schadenfreude voice came out of the phone. The background sound was very chaotic; it should be in a public place like a mall.

Kong Yinmeng rolled over and said helplessly: “Not only have cocoons grown, but knives have grown too. Don’t you be idle either; if you have a suitable man in your hands, introduce him to me quickly. Next time I’ll bring him back for them to see.”

“It’s not like I haven’t introduced them to you. You didn’t like a single one. It’s easy to become a bachelor if your standards are too high; you need to pay attention. Why are you pulling me? I see someone; I’ll dodge by myself!”

Her last sentence was clearly spoken to a third party. Kong Yinmeng rolled over again. “Who are you shopping with? I suspect you have another ‘dog’!”

“Hahaha, rest assured, men outside are all passing clouds; only you are my heart’s treasure. No more talking, I’m going shopping!”

Just based on the speed at which she hung up the phone, even the punctuation marks in her words were not believable.
