Eight years have passed, he's still going strong, but his girlfriend is having a mental breakdo

Seeing the notification pop up on the system panel, Zhao Hong was delighted.

Li Zimeng is such a good girl.

At this moment, Li Zimeng was standing by the floor-to-ceiling window.

Outside the window, there is a beautiful view of mountains, lakes, and high-rise buildings blending into one, which is refreshing and delightful.

In this situation, it would be truly torturous if I couldn't take a picture and post it on social media.

Of course, this was Grandpa Zhao's house, and Li Zimeng didn't dare to make decisions on her own. She cautiously asked, "Grandpa, I'd like to take a few photos and post them on my WeChat Moments, is that alright? Don't worry, I won't reveal my location or your personal information."

Zhao Hongan laughed and said, "Of course you can. Take as many pictures as you like. I'm so old, what do I have to care about? As long as you young people like it, that's all that matters."

He was in a good mood.

As long as Li Zimeng's requests aren't too unreasonable, he'll grant them.

This girl is easily satisfied and knows how to be grateful.

The favorability rating suddenly started to rise.

It's almost a hundred already.

I wonder what special reward Brother Tongzi will give me if my favorability rating reaches 100?

Li Zimeng was overjoyed upon hearing this, and her heart softened.

Grandpa Zhao really is... he never disappoints her.

The next moment, she thought of what Grandpa Zhao had said about his advanced age, and looking at the white hair on his head and the wrinkles on his face, she couldn't help but feel sad.

"Grandpa, you're so good to Mengmeng. Mengmeng will miss you so much. Waaah!"

Grandpa Zhao... if only he could live a few more years.

Li Zimeng's threshold for enjoyment has been raised recently since she started living with Grandpa Zhao.

Grandpa Zhao buys LV and Hermes bags that cost tens of thousands of yuan each as if he were shopping at a market.

A million-dollar Zunjie S800, given away as a gift.

The 200 million yuan mansion was bought out in full by the super-rich CEO Wang.

You can get your vehicle registration and property ownership certificate done while sitting at home...

Li Zimeng's perception has been completely overturned, and she has become completely dependent on Grandpa Zhao.

She couldn't imagine how she would live if Grandpa Zhao suddenly left this world one day, leaving her all alone.

If you ask her to go back to her old life as a low-level employee, could she still handle it?

Li Zimeng threw herself into Grandpa Zhao's arms.

"No, Mengmeng. I haven't showered yet... I'm dirty in the car."

"No. Mengmeng will never look down on Grandpa."

"Hey. Look at you..."

Zhao Hongan looked helpless and could only accept Mengmeng's verbal reward.

A day passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhao Hong'an is getting old and doesn't like to move around much.

Li Zimeng was overjoyed, taking pictures everywhere with her phone.

Zhao Hong'an had to acknowledge the differences between men and women.

Aside from the previous few exams where Li Zimeng was nervous and didn't do well,

In subsequent exams, Zhao Hong'an's scores were always worse.

You can't deny getting old.

Zhao Hongan clenched his fist and gently patted his lower back.

After getting used to the rhythm of the exams, Li Zimeng found herself enjoying them more and more. She took two exams in half a day, which almost made Grandpa Zhao pass away.

"Brother Tong, when are you going to boost your stamina? Look at the other 'Brother Tong' characters in other novels, they can all get some boosts."

Zhao Hong'an sighed with emotion.

Seeing Li Zimeng happily taking pictures, he suddenly felt inspired, took out his phone, took a few pictures, filled a nine-grid photo, and posted it on his WeChat Moments.

The copy is very simple:

[No need to climb mountains to enjoy the scenery; in old age, one can become a figure in a landscape painting.]

Nine photos: Longjing tea brewed in a glass, a tea ceremony on a terrace, the sunset over an ancient pagoda, and views from the living room and study.

He didn't deliberately block anyone out.

Posting on WeChat Moments and blocking people is like wearing fine clothes in the dark.

He's already quite old, and who knows how many more years he has left to live? So naturally, he'll do whatever makes him happy.

Most importantly, Zhao Hong'an's wealth is clearly derived, so he has no fear of being extorted.

Yes, he was unwilling to mention Hu Guoqin and her son's names.

He believed that seeing him doing so well must be most painful for Hu Guoqin and her son.

Meanwhile, Tianhe Zhiyuan Marriage Agency.

Hu Guoqin is discussing the criteria for a suitable partner with a marriage consultant.

Her best friend, Zhou Xiaona, sat beside her, occasionally checking her phone.

The marriage counselor looked at the conditions listed by Hu Guoqin and hesitated, then gently reminded her:

"Ms. Hu, among our registered male members, there aren't many who can fully meet the conditions you mentioned. Could you perhaps relax them a bit? This way, we can find more male members to match with, and the success rate will be higher."

Upon hearing this, Hu Guoqin became displeased: "The fact that not many of your male members meet the requirements is your problem. Why should I lower the standards and make myself suffer because of your problems?"

Her best friend Zhou Xiaona chimed in, "Exactly. We women can't always compromise ourselves. Sister Hu, you've finally escaped this misery, you have to live for yourself. This time, you can't just marry yourself off so casually."

Hu Guoqin immediately felt that her words had hit the nail on the head.

Only her best friend truly understands the hardships she's endured over the years.

"When I was young, I was immature. After having Hu Rui, I paid for my mistakes with twenty years of my youth. Now that Hu Rui is older, I can finally live for myself. I will absolutely, positively never lower my standards again, and I will never wrong myself again."

Hu Guoqin's voice was choked with emotion.

She thought women were truly amazing.

On the other end, the relationship consultant couldn't refute it.

Hu Guoqin continued, "Besides, I don't think my requirements are too high. I'm forty-one this year, and it's not unreasonable for me to find someone within three years of my age, is it?"

The marriage counselor shook his head: "It's not excessive."

Hu Guoqin continued, "I own an apartment and have a job. I require my partner to also own an apartment; as for salaries, it's normal for men to earn several times more than women, right? If he works in the public sector, I require him to earn at least 20,000 yuan a month, and if he works outside the public sector, he should earn at least 30,000 yuan a month... It's not that I care about the money, but I feel that if a man reaches this age and hasn't reached the division-level position in the public sector, or can't earn 500,000 yuan a year outside the public sector, then it means that this person has a problem with his abilities. I have a dislike for stupid people, and I don't like being with people who are incompetent."

Marriage consultant: "..."

Fortunately, she had been in the matchmaking industry for a long time and had seen all kinds of situations.

Although Hu Guoqin's conditions were outrageous, she didn't lose her composure.

Out of professional ethics, the marriage consultant asked, "Regarding the bride price, could you lower your expectations? Both of you are getting married for the second time..."

Hu Guoqin raised an eyebrow: "So what if I'm remarried? If we women don't even respect ourselves, who can we expect to respect us? When I got married for the first time, I was young and naive and didn't ask for much dowry. Now that I'm remarried, am I going to repeat the same mistake?"

Best friend Zhou Xiaona nodded: "Sister Hu is right. We strive to become better and better precisely to make up for the regrets of our youth. Otherwise, what's the point of striving?"

Hu Guoqin gave Zhou Xiaona a grateful look.

One of the reasons she was able to muster the courage to get a divorce this time was the encouragement from her best friend.

Otherwise, she would probably still be wasting her life with that old man, and there would be no new life for her now.

Good best friends are those who help each other and become better together.
