Disliked by everyone? She is clearly the most beloved one in the rich family!

Meng Yingnian replied with a "good".

The phone screen went off, but Meng Yingnian was still holding the phone, looking thoughtful.

Yu Zhi noticed something strange about Meng Yingnian, touched his hand, and asked softly, "What are you staring at?"

Meng Yingnian came back to his senses, held Yu Zhi's hand, and told him the truth: "Chen Xun just sent me a message, and Zhao Lian's affairs have been dealt with."

Yu Zhi was slightly startled.

After a busy day, Yu Zhi had long forgotten about Zhao Lian's affairs.

Now that Meng Yingnian suddenly brought it up, Yu Zhi took a few seconds to catch up with his train of thought.

Meng Yingnian had promised to handle this matter, but less than 24 hours had passed since he said that...

"So fast?"

Yu Zhi asked curiously, "How did you deal with it?"

"Their family owes a lot of debts, and one of the creditors has business dealings with the Meng family." Meng Yingnian omitted the beating heart and simply stated the result. "But I didn't bother to pass on the message, so don't think too much about it."

Although Yu Zhi studied art, his family had been in business for generations. He was influenced by it since he was a child and also understood some basic skills.

Meng Yingnian's words were vague, but Yu Zhi had guessed the general details.

The creditor, with the instructions of the Meng family, must have turned around and put pressure on the Zhao family.

Considering Meng Yingnian’s purpose, the creditors not only put pressure on the Zhao family, but also put forward conditions to exchange with the Zhao family.

For example, the Zhao family could be offered an interest rate cut or extension in exchange for Zhao Lian voluntarily moving out of the dormitory.

Meng Yingnian downplayed the situation, but the truth may not be as simple as he said.

Yu Zhi lowered his eyebrows and said, "It was done so quickly, and you still say it didn't take any effort."

Meng Yingnian didn't want Yu Zhixin to feel burdened, so he deliberately interrupted with a joke: "Hurry?"

"It's not customary to say your husband is fast, ma'am."

Yu Zhi was stunned for a moment, then his face flushed when he understood. He pulled his hand away and glared at Meng Yingnian: "Stop talking nonsense!"

Meng Yingnian just smiled and said nothing.

Half past ten in the evening.

Zhao Lian finished his part-time job for the day, went to a convenience store to buy a half-price lunch box, and returned to the dormitory exhausted.

As soon as he sat down and took a bite of food, he was thinking about Yu Zhi and had no taste for the food.

At this time, the mobile phone rang.

Zhao Lian's heart suddenly dropped when she saw that the caller ID was her mother.

It was so late, Zhao Lian thought something had happened to his mother far away in Shanghai, so he put down his chopsticks and answered the phone.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

Zhao's mother heard the nervousness in her son's tone and felt a little comforted.

She smiled and replied, "It's okay. I've been busy these past two days and haven't contacted you. I just wanted to call and ask if you're okay."

Zhao Lian breathed a sigh of relief.

After my father passed away, the burden of the family's debt fell solely on my mother.

My mother, a wealthy lady who used to have no business doing housework, now works several jobs.

The delicate and smooth hands became rough because of doing housework, and the shiny black hair was neglected and many white hairs grew.

Over the past year, my mother has been worn down to the point of looking ten years older. She always has a bitter look on her face whether she's smiling or not.

Zhao Lian saw all of this, and the more he watched, the more he realized his own powerlessness, and the more he felt sorry for his mother.

I don’t know when it started, but they started to only report good news and not bad news to each other.

Even if you have difficulties and tell the other person, they won't be able to help you and will just be anxious.

Rather than saying this, it’s better not to say anything.

Now Zhao's mother asked Zhao Lian if he was okay. Even though Zhao Lian had a lot of things on his mind, he forced a smile and replied casually, "I'm fine. Why not? I went out to work part-time today, and my boss praised me for my good work and said he would give me a raise soon."

Zhao's mother was happy for him: "So amazing, my son is awesome."

"But don't work too hard. You're still studying, so your studies are your priority. Mom will take care of the household affairs."

Zhao Lian smiled and said, "I'm an adult now. You should take care of yourself, Mom."

Zhao Lian paused and added, "I no longer have a father, and I can't live without you. For my sake, you should also take care of yourself, okay?"

When Zhao's mother heard this, her eyes became hot and her voice choked with sobs as she replied "OK".

After a pause, Zhao's mother started to talk about business: "I called you tonight because I have something else to tell you."

Zhao Lian: "Go ahead."

"Are you and that Yu Zhi living in the same dormitory?"

Zhao Lian froze.

After my father did that shameful thing, Yu Zhi became a taboo word in the family and no one would mention it.

Zhao Lian also didn't tell her mother that he and Yu Zhi were college roommates.

Zhao Lian asked curiously, "Who told you that?"

When Zhao Lian didn't deny it, but instead questioned her, Zhao's mother's face changed slightly and her tone was serious: "It's really true!"

"How could you live in the same dormitory with that little bitch and hide it from me? Have you forgotten your father's life—"

“Yu Zhi is not a little bitch!”

Before Zhao's mother could finish her words, Zhao Lian interrupted her excitedly.

Mother Zhao was so frightened by Zhao Lian that she was speechless for a long time.

On one side is his biological father, and on the other side is his own... both sides are flesh and blood. In this matter, Zhao Lian has been caught between a rock and a hard place.

Zhao Lian slowed down her tone and said seriously, "Mom, I know you can't let it go, but Yu Zhi was also a victim in that incident. You can dislike him, but you can't insult him like this."

"I didn't want to upset you, so I didn't tell you about it."

Mother Zhao said sarcastically, "You and your father are indeed biological father and son. Even your tastes are the same."

Zhao Lian was like a cat whose tail was stepped on: "Mom!"

"That's enough." Zhao's mother said impatiently, "You think I'm happy to mention him to you?"

"Our family owes Rongming Bank one million. It's due next month. Are you aware of this?"

Zhao Lian hummed, "I know."

This is the most worrying thing for the mother and son recently.

One million was nothing before, but now it is a huge sum of money, like a mountain pressing on them, an orphan and a widow.

Apart from the worst option of borrowing money to repay the loan, they could not think of any other solution.

"Tonight, Rongming's manager called me."

Zhao Lian frowned and said, "It's not due yet, what does he want from you?"

Zhao's mother said meaningfully, "He said we can have an extension for the loan and pay it back in five years with no interest increase."

Zhao Lian was shocked.

"Why did he do this?"

The Zhao family has no money and power now, and Zhao Lian couldn't imagine why Rong Ming would help them so much.

Zhao's mother: "How can pie fall from the sky? Rong Ming has conditions."

Zhao Lian asked, "What are the conditions?"

"Move to another dormitory and stop associating with Yu Zhi."

Zhao Lian was stunned for a few seconds, then said inexplicably, "What kind of condition is this? The two are completely unrelated."

Zhao's mother said, "Why do you care about him? As long as he can solve our family's urgent needs, that's enough. You don't have to worry about changing dorms. Rongming's people said that the counselor will notify you where to move to later. Just do as you are told."

"Our family shouldn't have had any dealings with Yu Zhi anyway, so this is a perfect situation."

"This is very abrupt and illogical." Zhao Lian frowned. "You've already agreed? I feel like there's something fishy going on. I should think carefully before making a decision."

"accepted."

Mother Zhao sneered, "A trick? What kind of trick could it be? What else can our family have that's worth scheming against?"

Zhao Lian was choked by his mother and was speechless.

"I gave birth to you. How could I not know what you are thinking?"

"I'm telling you clearly, Zhao Lian, put your thoughts aside as soon as possible. You and Yu Zhi can only have one kind of relationship, and that is to never see each other again until you die!"

Zhao Lian angrily asked, "Why? If it weren't for my father's lustful desires, Yu Zhi and I would have ended up like this!"

At that time, he was the only one in the class who could talk to Yu Zhi. Yu Zhi came to the birthday party and even prepared a gift for him. If nothing unexpected had happened, they would have already...

After hearing this, Zhao's mother became even more agitated. "Your father is a pervert, a damned bastard, but is Yu Zhi completely innocent? He has a seductive and flirtatious look, and who knows what he's up to behind the scenes. Not to mention your father, aren't you also bewitched by him now?"

Zhao Lian retorted sharply: "Yu Zhi is not the kind of person you say he is!"

Mother Zhao said impatiently: "I don't care what kind of person he is. If you insist on not moving out of the dormitory and insist on getting entangled with him, then you can just wait for me to collect your body!"

After saying that, Zhao's mother hung up the phone without giving Zhao Lian any room for negotiation.

Zhao Lian was filled with anger and wanted to throw his phone, but he raised his hand and couldn't throw it down.

He was now so embarrassed that he didn't even have the courage to throw his phone.

Rong Ming...

Zhao Lian couldn't help but speculate, could it be that the person behind Yu Zhi was a senior executive of Rong Ming?

Otherwise, why would Rong Ming give them a repayment extension for no reason? The extension is extended for five years, and the interest rate does not even increase.

Capitalists always put profit first, and no one would become a Bodhisattva for no reason.

The exchange conditions were directed at him, and it also concerned Yu Zhi...

This matter was too strange, but Rong Ming was sure that their family had no reason to refuse, so even if it was a fire pit, they had to jump in!

Being controlled by others like this is really frustrating!

Zhao Lian's face was gloomy and he kicked over the trash can in anger.

The next afternoon.

Lin Yunsong returned to school earlier than Yu Zhi.

He didn't know about Zhao Lian's situation. When he entered the dormitory, he saw that the place was much more spacious.

Lin Yunsong felt strange. After careful observation, he found that it was not an illusion, but the dormitory had really become empty.

All of Zhao Lian's things were gone.

Lin Yunsong's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously thought: The dormitory was robbed?!

He came to his senses and counted his things, finding that everything, valuable and worthless, was there.

Lin Yunsong was worried and looked at Yu Zhi's desk again.

Yu Zhi’s valuables were also there.

Hey! This is weird!

Lin Yunsong took inventory of the entire dormitory. None of his and Yu Zhi's things were missing. Only Zhao Lian's things disappeared out of thin air, and even the network cable was unplugged.

Lin Yunsong ran to the surrounding dormitories to ask, and finally got the news from the dormitory opposite.

"Zhao Lian? Who is that?"

"Oh! That gloomy guy in your dormitory, right? I ran into him this morning, moving things out several times. I asked him what he was doing, but he ignored me."

"Ah? All his things are gone? I guess he moved away. If there are special circumstances, you can apply for day study."

"If you ask me, Lin Yunsong, your dormitory is really weird! First, it was haunted and scared away three people, and now another one has moved out for no apparent reason. I wonder if there really is something unclean here..."

The haunting was the work of him and Yu Zhi. Lin Yunsong knew what was going on and was naturally not afraid.

Lin Yunsong laughed dryly and said a few perfunctory words to the other party. Then he returned to the dormitory and called Yu Zhi immediately.

There is a class meeting every Sunday night, and Yu Zhi is now on the bus back to school.

As soon as the call was connected, Lin Yunsong got straight to the point: "Zhizhi, something big has happened. Zhao Lian has moved out of our dormitory!"

The car was quiet. Meng Yingnian sat next to Yu Zhi. Even though the hands-free function was not on, Lin Yunsong's words fell into his ears.

Yu Zhi glanced at Meng Yingnian.

Meng Yingnian said that the matter had been handled, but Yu Zhi didn't expect Zhao Lian to move out so soon.

Yu Zhi pretended to be ignorant of the situation and replied to Lin Yunsong: "You are in the dormitory."

Lin Yunsong hummed, "I thought the dormitory had been robbed. I checked around and found that our things were still there, only Zhao Lian's things were missing."

"The people in the dormitory across the street said he left this morning. He's quite boring. I didn't see him moving before."

"We've lived together for all these days, but he left without telling us. How egocentric is this guy..."

Lin Yunsong muttered, and Yu Zhi waited until he finished muttering before speaking: "Just move away, he can't play with us anyway."

"That's true, I just think it's too sudden."

Lin Yunsong asked with great interest, "Did you say he moved to another dormitory? Or is he a day student?"

Of course, I moved to another dormitory.

Yu Zhi knew it very well, but he couldn't tell the truth to Lin Yunsong.

There are too many twists and turns here, and it will definitely involve the old grudge between him and Zhao Lian.

Lu Baizhou and Zhao Lian are two scars in Yu Zhi's heart that he is unwilling to reveal.

Yu Zhi could only give a vague answer: "I don't know, let him be."

"I'll go ask around." Lin Yunsong's thoughts jumped, and the next second he asked, "When will you arrive at school? I'll wait for you to have dinner together."

"I want to eat the spicy hot pot in the back street."

Yu Zhi smiled and said, "Okay."

"There's still half an hour left, wait for me in the dormitory."

"it is good."

"Would you like some milk tea? I'll bring it to you."

"No, we'll go buy it together after dinner."

"Row."

After hanging up the phone, before Yu Zhi could speak, Meng Yingnian asked leisurely, "Are you close to this Lin?"

Yu Zhi nodded and said truthfully: "He was the first friend I made in college."

"Yun Song is a very good person, sincere and kind, just and righteous."

Meng Yingnian looked at Yu Zhi, his eyes gradually becoming resentful.

Yu Zhi realized belatedly that Meng Yingnian was jealous and said helplessly, "Meng Yingnian, you can't be... Yun Song is an omega!"

Meng Yingnian sneered, "It's not uncommon for omegas to marry betas."

What this means is that betas are also sexually attractive.

What’s more, it’s a beta like Yu Zhi who is so good-looking!

Yu Zhi explained: "Yun Song is A-level, and heir to the Lin family. You should be more familiar with the Jingbei Lin family than I am."

The implication was that someone with Lin Yunsong's family background and status would never be interested in a Beta like him.

Meng Yingnian doesn't think so.

"Zhizhi, you have no idea about your own personal charm."

Meng Yingnian was filled with jealousy.

Yu Zhi said with a smile: "You make me sound like a hot commodity. Anyone who sees me will miss me."

Meng Yingnian gave Yu Zhi a look that said, "Who said it wasn't?"

"You have no idea how much I want to hide you at home."

Yu Zhi held Meng Yingnian's hand and coaxed him like a child: "Okay, Mr. Meng, don't worry, you are the only one who treats me as a treasure. Yun Song and I are just friends."

Meng Yingnian felt a little comforted, but still looked unhappy.

"He called you Zhizhi."

Yu Zhi didn't hear clearly: "What?"

"How can I ask you to know just a friend?"

Meng Yingnian snorted and laughed, dissatisfied: "He can call me Zhizhi so affectionately?"
