3022 The G.o.d-like Professor 2
“Auntie… I… I’m not sure how I can help… Mingxi has never listened to me.”
Wei Ying looked very awkward as she said that.
If she had the power to persuade Shen Mingxi, they wouldn’t have gotten a divorce in the first place.
“No, Ying-Ying, you don’t understand. Mingxi changed after his car accident. He sees Huo Yanyan for what she is now… and he sees you differently too… especially after you donated him blood… He sees you as a life-saver…I think he’ll really listen to you if you talk to him.”
“Auntie, I…” Wei Ying didn’t know what to do.
“Ying-Ying, look, Mingxi’s already very busy with work these days and that little girl’s going to be nothing but baggage. Everyone we know is making fun of him and saying that he’s asking for it. He took care of the vile woman’s mother and now he’s raising her daughter. No one wants to be looked down on. I asked him to send the child to an orphanage but he wouldn’t do it. He’s too soft-hearted. I know that the child is innocent, but the thought of her disgusting mother makes me want to vomit. Don’t you agree, Ying-Ying?”
“Maybe Mingxi has his own plans,” said Wei Ying.
“I know my son. He’s just too soft-hearted.”
“That’s true, but Mingxi’s been living with that child for a while now, and it’s only natural for him to care about her,”
Wei Ying said slowly while holding her coffee cup.
“I’m not against him taking care of the kid, but could he use another way to care for her? Maybe send the child to a childless family or something? She’ll live a great life that way too!” Mrs. Shen looked helpless.
“It all depends on… what Mingxi wants to do.”
“Yeah, Mingxi is stubborn as a bull. Just like before… we were so against your divorce… but he still went through with it. Ying, I’m begging you, please talk to him, okay?”
“Auntie, I’ll try my best. My relations.h.i.+p with Mingxi right now is… I’m not sure if I should say too much to him… he might get annoyed.”
“He won’t. He’ll consider your words. You saved his life.”
“But I can’t force my opinions on him just because I saved his life, right?” Wei Ying smiled.
“Anyway, please find a chance to talk to him. That would be the biggest help to me.”
Mrs. Shen was being selfish. She was so set on getting rid of Huo Yanyan’s daughter that she was even willing to bother Wei Ying.
Wei Ying knew that it was a bad idea to get involved. She knew what little value she held when it came to Shen Mingxi. She couldn’t, however, defend against Mrs. Shen’s persuading. She had no other choice.
“Then… I’ll… try my best. Auntie, all I can do is try. I’m not sure if I’ll be of any help.”
“That’s great. Ying-Ying, thank you.”
“Don’t mention it.”
Wei Ying smiled awkwardly.
Wei Ying had planned to meet Shen Mingxi after a couple of days but to her surprise, the two ran into each other that very night.
“Ying-Ying, look! Isn’t that your ex-husband?”
A socialite next to Wei Ying nudged her.
In her navy evening gown, Wei Ying looked up; indeed, Shen Mingxi wasn’t far away.
He was holding the hand of a five-year-old little girl. She was wearing a princess dress and looked very pretty.
“Isn’t that Huo Yanyan’s daughter? Did Young Master Shen really adopt her? How weird is this?” There was chatter in the crowd.
