At the entrance of the hospital.

Everyone left work in groups of three or five, talking and laughing.

Xu Qin dragged his tired body and looked at the navigation on his mobile phone. It would take about two hours to take a subway and then transfer to two buses to get to the destination.

Xu Qin was really tired and wanted to take a taxi. She was afraid that her colleagues would find out, so she prepared to go to the next intersection.

"Eh? Team leader, are you going the wrong direction? Isn't your house across the street?"

One of them asked.

"I..." Xu Qin stopped and didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Team Leader Xu, are you going shopping too?"

"Yes... I have nothing to do at home, so I thought I'd go for a stroll."

Xu Qin tried hard to force a smile.

"Great, we want to go shopping too, why don't we go together? Team Leader Xu is usually picked up by car and dropped off, and someone else takes him to buy things, so he must have never been shopping a lot, so it's a good opportunity for us to take you to get familiar with it."

Another colleague said.

Xu Qin wanted to refuse, but they were going in the same direction as her, and if they were seen taking a taxi, they would definitely gossip about her.

For some reason, at this moment, she was trying hard to disguise herself and did not want anyone to know that she was no longer the rich young lady she used to be.

"Team Leader Xu, why are you carrying a canvas bag today? The Gucci bag I saw you carrying a few days ago was very nice."

"Team Leader Xu changes into a different brand name bag every day, which one doesn't look good?"

"I'm so envious of Team Leader Xu. A random brand name bag costs me several months' salary."

"Team Leader Xu doesn't seem to have worn perfume today."

"Team Leader Xu, what's wrong with you lately? Why are you so low-key when traveling?"

Several people surrounded Xu Qin, chattering and asking questions.

Xu Qin already felt extremely disappointed, and hearing them say this was like rubbing salt into the wound, making her feel even worse.

She didn't know what to say and could only remain silent. She really wanted to escape from here.

"Didi"

Just then, a horn sounded behind him, and then a luxury car stopped in front of Xu Qin.

"Wow! It's President Meng!"

Meng Yanchen pressed the passenger window and said coldly, "Get in the car."

"I knew it. Mr. Meng would definitely not want to let Team Leader Xu buy things on his own."

"Mr. Meng changed his car again today. This car is worth several million."

"I really envy Team Leader Xu for having such a good brother."

Everyone looked at Xu Qin with envy in their eyes.

Xu Qin wanted to escape immediately. Seeing Meng Yanchen coming over, she tried hard to force a smile, said goodbye to her colleagues, and quickly got into the car.

After getting in the car, Xu Qin leaned back in his chair and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Brother, why are you here today?"

Xu Qin asked.

"Since I have broken with my family, I am no longer your brother." Meng Yanchen said coldly.

Hearing this, Xu Qin's eyes flashed with panic, "I didn't break up with my family. I was just saying that out of anger. After all, my parents raised me. Although I have moved out, I still go back to see them every week."

"Xu Qin, after all these years, don't you understand your mother's character? Even if you try hard and softly, she won't agree to you and Song Yan being together."

"You can only choose one between Song Yan and the Meng family."

Meng Yanchen said indifferently.

He no longer treated Xu Qin as gently as before, but more like a stranger.

When Xu Qin saw such a strange brother, a bitter look appeared on her face.

"Then what do you want me to do? Break up with Song Yan? Put aside my pride and go home to apologize? Accept the political marriage arranged by my family? I'm sorry, I can't do it."

Xu Qin had an expression that said, "That's just how it is. Whatever happens, that's fine."

"Since you can't do it, then break off with your family completely and don't try to persuade them." Meng Yanchen thought Xu Qin was ridiculous.

On the one hand, she didn't want to break up with Song Yan, and on the other hand, she didn't want to give up her life in the Meng family.

"I don't want to have anything to do with the Meng family. Didn't you come to pick me up?" Xu Qin said with a sullen face.

"Xu Qin, you better understand that if you really want to break up with the Meng family, you shouldn't get on this car."

"So many people asked you just now, why didn't you say anything? It's because you don't want to give up your identity as the daughter of the Meng family."

"You have been following Song Yan these days, and you must have felt the gap between the two families. Why are you still being stubborn?"

"What's wrong with bowing your head in front of your family and admitting your mistakes? After all, your parents have worked hard to raise you for more than 20 years."

Meng Yanchen spoke in a lukewarm tone, with no emotion visible on his face.

He didn't care how Xu Qin was doing. He just felt disappointed for Meng Huaijin and Fu Wenying. They had been so kind to Xu Qin with all their heart for so many years, but in the end they raised an ungrateful person.

"Stop! I want to get off!"

Xu Qin was hit on the spot by Meng Yanchen's words and immediately felt ashamed and tried to cover herself up with anger.

If it were the Meng Yanchen of the past, he would definitely admit his mistakes and flatter Xu Qin, but he is no longer Meng Yanchen now.

Meng Yanchen simply pulled the car over to the side of the road and said, "Goodbye, I won't see you off."

Xu Qin never expected that Meng Yanchen would be so decisive and actually let her get off the car.

"Why have you become like this? You were not like this before." Xu Qin asked.

"It was you who wanted to break up with your family." Meng Yanchen said.

"I don't want this to happen, but my parents just don't agree with me and Song Yan being together. I don't understand why they look down on Song Yan so much because of what's wrong with him."

"Is it because he has no money?"

Xu Qin's attitude softened a lot, but she was still standing up for Song Yan.

Seeing that Xu Qin had no intention of getting out of the car, Meng Yanchen stepped on the accelerator and continued driving.

"It's not just because he has no money. Song Yan was a complete gangster back then. Ten years have passed, and he still hasn't achieved anything. No, his temper has gotten better."

"If he really liked you, he should have tried to be worthy of you in the past ten years instead of continuing to be a piece of trash."

Meng Yanchen sneered.

"Song Yan is not what you think. He has his own self-esteem. Forget it, I don't want to talk to you about this. You don't understand anything." Xu Qin rolled her eyes.

"Brother, can you help me put in a nice word with my parents?"

Xu Qin looked at Meng Yanchen expectantly.

"Impossible." Meng Yanchen refused without even thinking about it.

"Why?" Xu Qin frowned slightly.

"You are an adult, you made a choice, and you should bear the consequences for it."

Meng Yanchen said indifferently.

Xu Qin had a cold face and turned his head away angrily, looking at the scenery outside the window.

Along the way, neither of them spoke until the car stopped. Xu Qin got out of the car and stood in front of Meng Yanchen.

"Are you happy and proud to see that I am not doing well?"

Xu Qin questioned.
