At the dinner, Meng Xiaodong and Mei Lanfang co-starred in a play "Dragon Play Phoenix", and the people on the spot praised one after another, intending to match, saying that the two were simply a natural couple.
Both are famous actors, and there are more and more opportunities for cooperation, coming and going, secretly feeling affection for each other, and deciding to enter the palace of marriage.
At this time, Mei Lanfang already had two wives. The eldest wife, Wang Minghua, is virtuous and traditional, and after marriage, the two are in love and have a man and a woman. Unfortunately, his son and daughter died unexpectedly, and Wang Minghua was also worried about being overly ill in bed, basically regardless of the family's affairs.

Marrying Meng Xiaodong, Mei Lanfang did not have a sedan car, no wedding ceremony, and did not enter her own home, but arranged Meng Xiaodong in the Feng Mansion at that time.
Faced with the tall wall and his own idleness, no one could hold back for a long time, so Meng Xiaodong discussed with Mei Lanfang to re-enter the stage.
Mei Lanfang felt that she had no face, afraid that her wife would provoke the shame of others on stage, and did not agree. Meng Xiaodong is also very understanding, because she loves a man who is willing to give up her career and be Mrs. Mei that she does not like.
In 1927, Mei Lanfang was invited to a birthday banquet, when a person followed and said that he wanted to see Mei Lanfang, and claimed that Mei Lanfang robbed his fiancée and took hostages to demand compensation of 50,000 yuan.
In the middle of the night, Mei Lanfang had already left and arrived at Meng Xiaodong's residence, and the rest of the matter could only be solved by the people of the Feng Mansion.
Unexpectedly, the person who claimed to have snatched his wife killed the hostage by mistake, and he was also shot and killed by the police.
Then, the people had a judgmental word: "Why didn't the Donghuang perform on stage?" It turned out to be wrapped up. "The rumors at that time were our current gossip, and it would be difficult for Mei Lanfang to argue for a while.

At the same time, the second wife Fu Zhifang also learned about this and quarreled with Mei Lanfang. Under pressure, Mei Lanfang and Meng Xiaodong had fewer and fewer opportunities to meet.
The proud Meng Xiaodong did not expect Mei Lanfang to treat him like this, and what made him even more uncomfortable was that she saw Mei Lanfang and his wife Mei Zhifang in pairs together in the press. So at this time, she didn't even have a name, and she couldn't help but feel sad.
As Mei Lanfang's career became more and more successful, the gap between Meng Xiaodong and Mei Lanfang became deeper and deeper, coupled with the indiscriminate obstruction of the second wife Fu Zhifang, Meng Xiaodong suffered a lot of grievances.
Meng Xiaodong understood that he didn't even have an identity and status, and his husband never seemed to take himself seriously. So he decided not to have any intersection with Mei Lanfang anymore. But she still wanted to tell Mei Lanfang about her suffering.
A long conversation all night made Meng Xiaodong finally say that decisive and angry word.
02 Love is shallow and deep
Meng Xiaodong, who was emotionally unhappy, fell into grief and indignation and was about to take refuge in Buddhism, when he met Du Yuesheng, the real man who protected him for the rest of his life.
Du Yuesheng was originally an apprentice in a fruit shop in Shanghai, but his parents died very early, and then entered the home of Shanghai leader Jin Rong to do miscellaneous things, and was appreciated by Jin Rong's wife Lin Guisheng.
In this life, he got involved in entertainment, education, finance and other fields with his own struggle, and became a young gangster and wealth tycoon at that time.
Speaking of the relationship between the two, when Meng Xiaodong performed at the age of 12, Du Yuesheng was attracted to him and sent flowers. After that, Du Yuesheng was doing his own business while carrying out the woman Meng Xiaodong who he couldn't forget.

At this time, she met an acquaintance, the two were both from a pear garden family, and they chatted very speculatively. This person is called Yao Yulan, and she happens to be Du Yuesheng's fourth wife at this time.
The divorce was not easy for Meng Xiaodong, especially in troubled times at that time, whether he had a reputation or not, like a lover, which was very embarrassing. So Yao Yulan asked her husband Du Yuesheng to help solve it.

Du Yuesheng first asked Mei Lanfang for a breakup fee of 40,000 yuan, and then said that he would help him pad Meng Xiaodong first, so that Mei Lanfang could work around funds, and also gave Meng Xiaodong dignity.
Meng Xiaodong was grateful to Du Yuesheng. But at this time, she didn't know that Du Yuesheng had long been pleased with her.
Several times, Yao Yulan could see Du Yuesheng's thoughts, so she invited her good sister Meng Xiaodong to come to her house as a guest. In the middle of the night, Meng Xiaodong found that the person next to the bed had been replaced by Du Yuesheng, and she did not shirk, but repaid her gratitude.
At this time, the Anti-Japanese War came, Du Yuesheng separated from Meng Xiaodong several times, and he also lived a life of displacement, first fleeing to Hong Kong and then to Chongqing. At this time, Meng Xiaodong concentrated on studying drama in Beiping. One study is five years.

When he returned to Shanghai, he was no longer Du Yuesheng's world, his cronies died, and the people around him made excuses not to see him again.
At this time, his body was weak, and his wife and children were not around, so he thought of Meng Xiaodong, who had accompanied him, and sent someone to send a letter to Meng Xiaodong.
Unlike Mei Lanfang, Du Yuesheng waited directly at the exit gate and did not send Meng Xiaodong to any place, but directly received his own residence. The two embraced each other affectionately to express the pain of years of separation.
At this time, Du Yuesheng has lost his former dashing and has become an old man, and Meng Xiaodong is also in his 40s, which is not as magnificent as back then. However, they still cross the gap of time, as if separated couples are reunited, deeply attached to each other. Since then, the two have lived happily together.
The good times did not last long, Yao Yulan came to Shanghai with her child, Meng Xiaodong knew that he had no reputation and took the initiative to go to Beiping, Du Yuesheng was reluctant in his heart, and it was difficult to say anything. He could only place a house for Meng Xiaodong in Beiping to show his deep affection.

On one occasion, Du Yuesheng was suppressed by Chiang Kai-shek and had to flee to France to save his wife. Just as he was counting passports with his guys, Meng Xiaodong said something at this time.
"If I follow, is it a girlfriend or a girlfriend?" There are not many words, but there are loud sounds. Du Yuesheng on the side did not continue to discuss, but thought for a while, and then said a sentence: "Don't be busy applying for passports now, let's get married first!" ”
In this way, Du Yuesheng personally invited the chef to Du's house, set up 10 tables of banquets, and also published his marriage in the press.
On the wedding day, Du Yuesheng put on a robe and a horse coat, got off the hospital bed that seemed to have never left, married Meng Xiaodong, and brought her a diamond ring. He also asked all his children to call Meng Xiaodong "Mommy." ”
