When Hai Ling arrived at the place Mrs. Lu said she would be at, Mrs. Lu was already waiting for her.
She parked her battery-operated car, took off her helmet, walked towards Mrs. Lu, and greeted her politely, “Mrs. Lu, good evening.”
Mrs. Lu had a fight with her son though, and was so angry by him that she wanted to vomit blood.
When facing Hai Ling, she maintained her good manners and responded to Hai Ling’s greeting very gently.
“Come, let’s go in and sit down.”
Mrs. Lu invited Hai Ling inside.
Hai Ling nodded, and she waited for Mrs. Lu to go first before she followed.
Mr. Lu did not follow, he was ordered by his wife to stay in the car and not to get out.
Mrs. Lu found a table in the corner and sat down, this place was far away from the other guests and quiet, it was very suitable for her and Hai Ling to talk without worrying about being overheard by others.
When Hai Ling sat down, she called the waiter and asked for a cup of juice, no coffee on a big night.
“Hai Ling, what would you like to drink?”
Mrs. Lu asked Hai Ling.
Hai Ling said, “Just give me a cup of warm boiled water.”
In order to lose weight, she had stopped eating and drinking anything after six o’clock in the evening for a long time, and now that she had managed to lose weight successfully, she was used to it and didn’t want to change it easily again, lest her figure grow sideways again.
Mrs. Lu then spoke to the waitress, “Another cup of warm boiled water.”
When the waiter left, she said with a smile, “Is it saving money for me? I’m treating you to something to drink and all you want is plain water.”
“Mrs. Lu, when I was trying to lose weight, I dared not drink anything other than plain water at night, or only when I was very thirsty, for fear of not losing weight. Now that I’ve managed to lose weight, I have to keep my mouth shut, lest I bounce back.”
She has spent most of the year to lose weight successfully.
It was not easy. It was not easy.
Losing weight is also about persistence.
Mrs. Lu sized her up and complimented, “You can even go on a weight loss commercial, you’re a different person from when I first saw you.”
When she first saw Hai Ling, Hai Ling was still a big fat woman weighing two hundred pounds.
Hai Ling laughed, “I was really fat then, I don’t even know how I let myself get fat like that.”
Thinking about her failed marriage with Zhou Honglin.
Hai Ling felt that she was also at fault.
Her biggest fault was that she didn’t love herself properly, thinking that after getting married and having a son, her life would be stable, and she didn’t need to take care of her figure, she couldn’t control her mouth, and she ate everything and a lot of food.
As a result, the weight just skyrocketed.
In the end, they were disliked by their husbands, which led to the breakup of their marriage.
Women must love themselves well.
Mrs. Lu smiled and didn’t answer.
“Mrs. Lu, you asked me to come here because you have something you want to say to me, right?” After two sentences of small talk, Hai Ling asked Mrs. Lu bluntly.
Her son was still staying at the mall.
Even though she had Lu Dongming to look after him for her, she couldn’t rest assured.
Mrs. Lu wanted to see her for something, so she had to make it quick.
Mrs. Lu was still thinking about how to open her mouth without being abrupt, she didn’t expect Hai Ling to ask her bluntly, so she opened her mouth smoothly and said, “Hai Ling, I want to talk to you, to communicate, not to force.”
