Chapter 39 As the ancients said, one should marry a virtuous wife.
Pan Li's beauty salon has separate men's and women's bathrooms, but because there are relatively few male customers, there is only one shower room and one water heater.
While Lu Ming was taking a shower, the system finally popped up an interface.
What was bound to happen has finally happened!
beep!
"Women will only hinder your progress!"
"Resist the temptation of the beautiful female technician, complete side quest (nine) ahead of schedule, and gain one point of Agility!"
"If both your physique and appearance attributes reach nine points, the attribute rewards for subsequent side quests in this series will be randomly distributed among the four attributes: constitution, physique, appearance, and agility!"
God bless!
After reading the system's subtitles and confirming that he had drawn the Agility attribute this time, Lu Ming secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
After his physique and appearance improved to nine points, he reached a critical point and was indeed very handsome among ordinary people.
Senior Cheng Yong'an, sister-in-law Mei Yanping, and old classmate Miao Yuyan—these people would definitely notice something amiss.
If I draw the appearance attribute again and it changes drastically, then it will definitely be exposed.
Lu Ming took a shower, changed into his sports shorts and a sports t-shirt, and came out of the bathroom.
"After having a few facials at our shop, you've become more and more handsome!" Pan Li praised with a smile, still managing to maximize her emotional appeal.
"I bought a card worth 200,000 yuan at once, so it's only right that you praise me a bit more!" Lu Ming joked.
Among the single mothers around him, he gradually discovered that Pan Li was the most interesting.
As expected of the owner of the beauty salon, she is particularly good at providing emotional value.
"I ordered some takeout. Why don't you have dinner at your place tonight? I'll check on Rui Rui's mood and talk to her on your behalf."
Pan Li changed the subject again, talking about Rui Rui, since she had just spent time with her biological mother and her emotions might have changed.
"Thank you for your help!"
Lu Mingting nodded solemnly.
There are gender differences between father and daughter, and there are many things that he finds inconvenient to communicate with his daughter about, and he doesn't quite understand girls' thoughts and ideas.
That would be wonderful if Pan Li were willing to communicate with Rui Rui a few more times!
It's very late!
The two walked back to Lu Ming's home together along the asphalt road at the west gate of the community. The summer wind was scorching, and they quickly broke out in a sweat.
Lu Ming was in a good mood and took the initiative to ask Pan Li for help: "Sister-in-law and Xue Meiting are both quite busy, but I really don't understand the little girl's thoughts. If you have time, could you help me take care of Rui Rui?"
"Sure, I really like Rui Rui, it's a pity that my Yun Hao isn't so lucky." Pan Li winked playfully.
She really knows how to get along with men.
Master!
Lu Ming even began to doubt whether he was in a relationship.
The several beautiful mature women in the mothers' group, Mei Yanping and Xue Meiting, are really too busy. They can't even take care of their own sons, let alone help take care of other people's daughters.
Pan Li happened to have that time.
When Lu Ming got home, the takeout had just arrived, but he still took some out of the refrigerator and cooked two vegetarian dishes for himself and the children.
After dinner, Pan Li smiled at Lu Ming and said, "Rui Rui and I will clean up the kitchen. You take a few boys upstairs and explain some math problems to them. Even though it's a holiday, we shouldn't let them relax too much."
"Sure, our dishwasher is brand new, and it's a bit complicated to operate. Let Rui Rui help you set it up!"
Lu Ming nodded in agreement, knowing that Pan Li wanted to use this opportunity to communicate with Rui Rui.
"I'm really clumsy, so if I break it, I won't compensate you!" Pan Li said with a smile, looking very relaxed.
Being single is great!
You can flirt with muscular, handsome men at will.
While it was possible before, there was always a sense of guilt. Now it's different; I can let loose anytime.
She flirts with the kind of men she likes.
Mainly because Lu Ming is handsome, has a good physique, and looks like a young man in his late twenties. Even though there is little feedback, he is still very interesting to provoke.
A man who looks like this is the best source of emotional value; a few sweet words from him can make a middle-aged divorced mother extremely excited.
In front of the children.
Lu Ming couldn't say anything nice, so he just smiled and led the three boys upstairs to study high school math olympiad together.
More than an hour passed.
When he came downstairs, Rui Rui was already studying first-year high school material in her room.
After several months of guidance and reasoning, Rui Rui has now basically decided to study law and choose history and politics in high school.
It is better to ask for yourself than for others.
Taking the civil service exam is the best choice for a female protagonist; if she becomes a female judge, that would be incredibly impressive.
Pan Li didn't rush to leave, but instead sat on the large sofa in the living room looking at her phone.
Upon seeing Lu Ming come downstairs, she immediately revealed a gentle smile, which was enough to show that Rui Rui was alright.
The two middle-aged people walked to the enclosed balcony with perfect understanding, closed the sliding door to the living room, and began to talk.
"Don't worry, Rui Rui's generation of young girls are particularly mature. They can ask AI for help with any troubles. However, you shouldn't let your ex-wife suffer too much. If she goes astray, it will have a huge impact on Rui Rui's future."
Pan Li sat in a wicker chair in the living room, gently persuading Rui Rui. Judging from her conversation with Rui Rui, Rui Rui was very intelligent.
My attitude towards my biological mother isn't great, but I don't want her to suffer too much either.
Lu Ming nodded slightly, but did not rush to express his opinion.
Judging from the current situation, there is a high probability that his ex-wife Guo Haili has gone astray.
A 40-year-old woman with no special skills has a low income, high expenses, and is burdened with a mortgage of 500,000 yuan!
Sensing that Lu Ming was unwilling to help his ex-wife, Pan Li continued to persuade him, "We can ask Sister Mei to arrange a job for your ex-wife in the Jiangtai Group, somewhere far away. As for her house, if she really can't hold on any longer, you can buy it in Rui Rui's name and leave it to her."
"Can!"
Lu Ming finally nodded in agreement.
She's still Rui Rui's biological mother. If she were to be driven to desperation by mortgage payments and online loans, it would be a huge disgrace to Rui Rui.
What if Rui Rui wants to take the civil service exam and become a female judge in the future? That would be such a hassle!
Although the balcony is enclosed, it is still on the sixteenth floor, so it gets very hot at night.
Pan Li picked up an embroidered handicraft fan, used it to cool Lu Ming, and continued chatting: "The reason I'm angry about Old Yang subsidizing his ex-wife and eldest son is not only because of the money, but more because he doesn't understand the principle of helping in an emergency but not in a long-term one."
If your ex-wife is truly desperate, it's only right that you help her in her time of need, after all, you were husband and wife, and she's still Rui Rui's biological mother. But don't help her out of poverty in ordinary times.
Old Yang just kept helping the poor, giving them thousands today and thousands more tomorrow, which only made his ex-wife and eldest son's appetites grow bigger and bigger.
Hearing this, Lu Ming appeared calm, but he was actually quite surprised.
As the ancients said, one should marry a virtuous wife.
That makes a lot of sense.
A smart woman is truly sensible, good at communication, good at managing a household, and good at charming men. But how many women as smart as Pan Li are there these days?
Lu Ming, now in his forties, feels like he's only met this one person.
of course.
He still prefers young and pretty girls!
