Chapter 21 I'm too old to be a sperm donor.
a long time.
The system remained unresponsive.
Lu Ming guessed that he had refused in the wrong way. He had to refuse the beautiful young lady's request to borrow sperm in order to trigger the new side quest reward.
When Mei Yanping and Yao Yao came to his home as guests, he had just prepared four dishes and a soup and invited the two wealthy women to sit down and dine together.
"Our Ming Dynasty's culinary skills are quite good, Yao Yao, have a sip of fish soup first." Mei Yanping specially ladled out a bowl and handed it to her.
Yao Yao nodded with a smile, took the porcelain bowl, took a small sip, and immediately praised, "Brother Da Ming's cooking skills are really amazing, unlike me, I can't cook at all!"
Lu Ming opened a bottle of chilled sweet rice wine and explained, "My old man used to be the head chef of a state-owned restaurant, and later he went into business and opened his own restaurant."
When I was in college, dating was expensive; I had to work at my family's restaurant every winter and summer vacation.
By then, it was already clear that his ex-wife, Guo Haili, was a very materialistic woman, but at the time, he was truly blinded by her beauty.
Guo Haili is indeed beautiful and has a large bust; she was also very good at being coquettish when she was young.
On the contrary, after she turned thirty, she probably became more realistic and opened her eyes to the world. She admired those truly rich and powerful men more and looked down on her husband Lu Ming more and more. All she did all day was throw tantrums and rage!
Mei Yanping suddenly asked with some emotion, "Daming, your family's old restaurant is at the intersection of Linghu South Road, right?"
Lu Ming nodded and poured a bowl of sweet rice wine for each of the two beauties.
After taking a sip of rice wine, Mei Yanping continued chatting, "I heard you mention it once before. A few years ago, when I went to Qingzhou to do business, I took a look around. I estimate that just a two-story shop facing the street could be worth three million."
"well enough!"
Lu Ming neither confirmed nor denied this, since it was none of his business anyway.
Mei Yanping then said to Yao Yao beside her, "Our Da Ming is a really good person. His sister got a shot when she was little and became deaf. So, when he was in school, he made up his mind to leave all of his parents' money to his sister."
Yao Yao looked at Lu Ming with admiration, then asked with some curiosity, "Your ex-wife definitely wouldn't agree, right?"
Despite her young age, she really hit the nail on the head with that question.
Lu Mingting sighed helplessly and said, "My eldest sister got married earlier than me. It was already agreed at the time that the restaurant and shop would belong to my eldest sister, and the rest would belong to me. Guo Haili originally agreed to this, but later she slowly changed her mind."
Guo Haili knew Lu Xiaoxia, her older sister, when she was in high school. When they were dating, she felt sorry for her older sister and completely agreed to leave the property to her.
However, the older a woman gets, the less compassion she has and the more materialistic she becomes.
Seeing the tense atmosphere, Mei Yanping subtly changed the subject, laughing, "Daming, Yaoyao, let's not talk about these unhappy things today. Let's celebrate my freedom after the divorce, have a drink!"
What's there to celebrate?
Lu Mingzhen truly didn't understand women's thought processes, but he still picked up his rice wine bowl and clinked it with each of the two women.
The three then started talking about Cheng Yuhang and Rui Rui's studies, and gradually the conversation turned to the new boss of Hua Rui Middle School.
Mei Yanping wanted her two children to attend high school at Huarui Middle School, and the newly arrived Chairman Han happened to be someone she had introduced.
Chairman Han and Yao Yao's mother were former classmates at the Beijing Film Academy and had a good personal relationship.
After giving a brief introduction, Mei Yanping gossiped with Lu Ming: "This Han Huilan is really lucky. She was kept by a top coal boss while she was in film school, and later she got pregnant, gave birth to a daughter, and married into a wealthy family."
After her husband's unexpected death, his ex-wife and two sons from his previous marriage pressured her to sell the shares she and her daughter had inherited, which happened to coincide with the peak of coal prices.
Over the years, her textile business in Ningzhou had been lukewarm at best, but she was incredibly lucky. She casually invested in a clothing export e-commerce platform and easily made billions of dollars.
When Mei Yanping said these words, she was clearly very envious.
She worked much harder and was much more diligent than Han Huilan, but the gap between them was so large that she couldn't catch up at all; she couldn't even see the taillights of others.
"Sister-in-law, at our age, we should learn to be content with what we have, even if we're not the best off!" Lu Ming gently advised.
Don't compare yourself to Han Huilan, compare yourself to him!
Yao Yao teased from the side, "Sister Mei, compare yourself to Chairman Chen of Jiangtai, or to my father."
Chairman Chen of Jiangtai Group and Chairman Yao of Dongchen Group, Yao Yao's biological father, have both gone bankrupt.
The province is currently preventing the two from going bankrupt, forcing them to continue guaranteeing the delivery of the houses and first deal with those unfinished buildings.
Compared to this, Mei Yanping's mood improved considerably, since these two local real estate tycoons had long taken care of her and provided her with significant assistance.
After all, she has a background in finance and has always had a strong sense of risk, which is why she was not implicated by the two big shots.
That's enough chatting!
Mei Yanping decided to stop wasting time and asked Yao Yao directly, "Are you satisfied with our Ming Dynasty?"
"Great!"
Yao Yao was, after all, a young woman in her early twenties, so it was inevitable that she would feel a little shy.
Mei Yanping continued to say to Lu Ming, "Da Ming, our Yao Yao doesn't want to date. She feels it's a waste of time, and after all, she doesn't want to get married."
But she wants to have two children and hopes the man will be tall, handsome, and intelligent, as well as safe, reliable, responsible, and willing to spend time with the children regularly.
Lu Ming didn't rush to express his opinion, but instead said to Yao Yao, "Your thinking is a bit strange!"
"I just feel that love has a short shelf life, and marriage is even more hypocritical!" Yao Yao didn't hide her true thoughts.
Perhaps because she was born out of wedlock, she didn't trust men much, but she wanted two children, hoping to have them sooner rather than later.
"It's a pity, I'm not really at the right age anymore," Lu Ming said tactfully.
We're all adults!
His meaning was very clear: he wouldn't do it, not even for money. It was just a very clever and mature way of refusing.
"Daming, your sister-in-law truly admires you!"
Mei Yanping was speechless. She wanted to give Lu Ming a huge benefit so that she could use his kindness to ask for a return later.
Therefore, it took a lot of persuasion and a whole night of nice words to convince Yao Yao to talk to Lu Ming and give it a try.
I never expected Lu Ming to be such a straight-laced guy.
Do you know how much trust assets Yao Yao has?
You could never spend all that money in eight lifetimes!
After the sperm donation is successful, this money will eventually be left to your son and grandson!
Damn it!
Mei Yanping was truly drunk; she felt as if she were drinking Erguotou (a type of Chinese liquor) instead of sweet rice wine.
That's so stupid!
Lu Ming didn't really care about this kind of thing. Since he had already politely declined, he simply said to Yao Yao, "Having a child is a very important thing, and it's also highly probable, so it's impossible to say for sure."
Some children are born bad and are disobedient from a young age; some children are born unhealthy, weak and sickly from childhood, and some even contract terminal diseases at a young age.
So, finding a genetically superior man to have two children isn't difficult, but also hoping he's safe, reliable, and responsible is very difficult!
Lu Ming spoke very directly.
Yao Yao's demands are a paradox: a truly reliable man, a truly responsible man, would not casually have a child with her.
After listening to Lu Ming's analysis, Yao Yao remained silent for a long time, realizing that her own ideas were indeed somewhat flawed.
On the contrary, Mei Yanping was very anxious. Seeing that neither of them spoke, she could only press Lu Mingdao, "Daming, tell me the truth, do you want to help with this?"
She really put in a lot of effort to finally persuade Yao Yao.
After all, although Yao Yao had always had this idea, she had never put it into action and was still very hesitant.
This is no small matter.
Lu Ming sighed and refused more directly: "I'm definitely not suitable. I'm too old, I have too many concerns, and I won't have another child unless I'm fully prepared."
At this age, everyone becomes very down-to-earth.
If Yao Yao were here for a blind date, with her figure, looks, and material conditions, Lu Kun would have no way to refuse her.
The couple can sign a prenuptial agreement, maintain financial independence, and live together as husband and wife, have children together, and raise two children together.
The problem is that women are naturally drawn to strength, just as men are naturally attracted to young, beautiful girls with large breasts.
These are all basic consciousnesses determined by genes.
Given Yao Yao's qualifications, if she really wanted to find a husband, her requirements in all aspects would definitely be very high; he would at least have to be better than her!
The problem is that it's virtually impossible for a man who is richer, more powerful, more educated, and has a higher social status than her to marry her.
They have so many choices!
If she still expects a man to have Lu Ming's physique and looks, then such a man simply doesn't exist.
Even among the 1.4 billion people in the country, it's impossible to find just a few.
Lu Ming guessed that Yao Yao was aware of this, but she was unwilling to lower her standards for choosing a partner. In order to avoid ending up with nothing, she wanted to take advantage of her youth and find a way to have one or two children.
If I really can't find the domineering CEO type from idol dramas in the future, then so be it.
