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

Meng Yingnian said nonchalantly, "It's not far. Lunch time certainly won't interfere with work."

"Then remember to call me when you're done and I'll pick you up."

If it were someone else, Yu Zhi would probably think that he was trying to avoid work, both sending her off and picking her up.

But Meng Yingnian is not the kind of person who takes his work lightly.

"I can just take a taxi back by myself."

There was no way Meng Yingnian would let Yu Zhi go back by himself. He had no intention of leaving after sending Yu Zhi there. He planned to have dinner at that restaurant and then take Yu Zhi away with him.

By the way, declare sovereignty.

Regardless of whether Lawyer Huo has any feelings for Yu Zhi, it is safer to do this.

"Taxi home is so expensive, I can just pick you up."

Yu Zhi couldn't believe that Meng Yingnian actually said such words.

How expensive...

Don’t you feel it’s more expensive when you splurge?

Yu Zhi: "Then I'll take a taxi to your company."

Meng Yingnian gave a reason that could not be refused.

"No, I plan to eat there at noon tomorrow and pick you up on the way back."

Yu Zhi was puzzled: "Eat? Did you make an appointment with someone else?"

Meng Yingnian: "Chen Xun and I."

Yu Zhi: I should really thank you on behalf of Chen Xun.

Since Meng Yingnian said so, Yu Zhi no longer refused. A taxi is not as convenient as taking a ride with Meng Yingnian.

"Okay, so be it."

Yu Zhi felt that Meng Yingnian was acting weird all day, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

I usually go out with Lin Yunsong, and Meng Yingnian didn't insist on picking me up and dropping me off.

It seemed that after asking Lawyer Huo, he began to insist on sending himself off.

What does this have to do with Lawyer Huo?

Is it because I don't want to take him with me?

Yu Zhi didn't even think about what Meng Yingnian was worried about.

After all, when I met Huo Yao, I was still a high school student.

The age difference of ten years is neither big nor small.

To be honest, it's a bit far-fetched to be friends with a ten-year age difference, let alone a couple.

Not everyone is like Meng Yingnian who eats young grass.

At least with Yu Zhi, he had never thought about dating and getting married, and he was so much older than her.

Yu Zhi didn't think Meng Ying was old. His face had nothing to do with oldness. He only had the charm of a mature man.

After finally getting a chance to stay in bed for a while during the holiday, Yu Zhi had to get up and go to work with Meng Yingnian.

Yu Zhi began to regret the decision he made last night.

Meng Yingnian tidied himself up and went to the bedside.

"Zhizhi, get up. You promised to accompany me to the company."

Yu Zhi covered himself with the quilt and ignored his words.

Meng Yingnian went out first and asked someone to prepare breakfast, letting Yu Zhiduo sleep for a while.

In the end, Yu Zhi was coaxed and pulled out of the warm bed by Meng Yingnian.

Yu Zhi got up in a daze, brushed his teeth and washed his face.

Finally woke up.

Yu Zhi couldn't think of any thank-you gift for Huo Yao, as it was obvious that Huo Yao had everything he needed.

After thinking it over, he decided to pay for his lunch himself.

Anyway, we will be in northern Beijing in the future, so there will be plenty of opportunities to repay him.

People with poor stomachs are most afraid of catching cold.

Since the beginning of winter, Meng Yingnian's appetite has been worse than before, and sometimes he can only survive by relying on nutritional supplements.

Yu Zhi didn't hesitate any longer. As soon as Deng Yang came to call people, he quickly walked out of the room and took Meng Yingnian to the restaurant.

At least let Meng Yingnian have something hot to eat.

It was such a blessing to have a bowl of hot soup noodles early in the morning. Yu Zhi felt warm all over after eating it.

Meng Yingnian put down his chopsticks without eating much.

Yu Zhi advised: "If you can't eat the noodles, drink more soup."

Meng Yingnian did as he was told and drank all the soup.

Meng Yingnian did not seem to be satisfied at all while eating, as if eating was just a task for him, an activity to sustain his survival.

But it seems to be the case.

Moreover, Meng Yingnian advised Yu Zhi to wear more clothes to keep warm, but he himself only put on an extra coat on the outside.

As the name suggests, you should dress formally for work.

But you are the boss, who cares what you wear?

It's not like I go out for social events every day.

Yu Zhi couldn't persuade him, so he could only ask Chen Xun to add a cup of hot water or hot tea to him from time to time, and use a hot water bottle to warm his stomach.

Meng Yingnian was very touched by Yu Zhi's concern for him.

Yu Zhi didn't try to be beautiful but still freezing, so she wrapped herself up tightly.

He wore a long down jacket and Meng Yingnian also put a scarf around his neck.

As a result, Yu Zhi started sweating as soon as he got in the car.

It was only cold the moment you got out of the car. The underground garage was a little colder than the ground.

But it was much better once we got into the elevator.

The heating in Meng Yingnian's company was very sufficient, so Yu Zhi took off her scarf and coat as soon as she entered the office.

He was wearing a white sweater today, with brown hair and blue eyes, which made him look very childish.

From time to time, people would come into Meng Yingnian's office to report on their work. In addition to the assistant and secretary, there was also the department manager. Yu Zhi didn't want to stay here and be treated like a monkey.

I still go into the lounge and draw with my tablet.

Yu Zhi and Huo Yao made an appointment at eleven o'clock.

At ten o'clock, Yu Zhi was dressed and ready to go to the appointment.

Meng Yingnian also took Chen Xun with him, and Chen Xun acted as the driver.

Chen Xun had already sent the information about Huo Yao to Meng Yingnian this morning.

Huo Yao, a Chinese returnee, graduated from China University of Political Science and Law and is a partner at Yaoan Law Firm.

None of this information is important. What Meng Yingnian wants to know is Huo Yao's relationship status.

single.

After seeing Huo Yao's photo, Meng Yingnian's sense of crisis increased exponentially.

He is handsome, single, successful in his career, younger than himself, and Yu Zhi's benefactor. No matter how you look at it, it is not a good sign.

Meng Yingnian was worried all morning.

Chen Xun was flattered when he heard that President Meng wanted to take him out for dinner.

He thought the three of them were eating together, but when they arrived at their destination, he found that Yu Zhi was not with them.

Then he remembered that Meng Yingnian suddenly asked him to check someone's information yesterday, and specifically asked him to find out the other person's relationship status.

Chen Xun probably understood why President Meng suddenly asked him to have dinner together.

He is using himself as a shield and following Mr. Yu here.

Chen Xun naturally had no objection. After all, he could have a free meal. Even if he had a high salary, he couldn't afford to eat at such a high-end restaurant every meal.

When Yu Zhi followed the waiter to the private room, he kept wondering if his wallet could handle it.

He had asked Meng Yingnian about the cost of the restaurant in advance, and he could still afford it for two people. Since he wanted to thank him, he had to be sincere.

Yu Zhi arrived at the agreed box ten minutes early, and Huo Yao was already waiting inside.

Hearing the sound of the door being pushed open, Huo Yao stood up to greet it.

"Yu Zhi, long time no see."

Yu Zhi quickly responded: "Long time no see, Lawyer Huo."

Huo Yao asked everyone to sit down and said, "Don't call me Lawyer Huo. You can call me Brother Huo or Brother Yao."

"Okay, Brother Yao."

Huo Yao found that Yu Zhi had changed a lot compared to two years ago, not in appearance, but in the feeling he gave people.

Yu Zhi seemed to have grown taller and didn't look as thin as he did in high school. He wasn't as reserved as before when meeting people. Although he still felt embarrassed, he was a little more relaxed than before.

Huo Yao felt that Yu Zhi's changes were all for the better, and he was very pleased.

So far, it seems that Yu Zhiguo is doing well.

Yu Zhi has indeed gained some weight in the past few months under Meng Yingnian's care, and is even showing a tendency to grow taller.

Later, Meng Yingnian took him to see Dr. Zhai twice, and his mental condition got better and better.

Yu Zhi's face was rosy from the heat in the restaurant's private room, and his eyes were clear. He was wearing clean clothes and looked well-maintained.

Huo Yao picked up the cup of tea beside him and said, "I haven't congratulated you yet. Congratulations on getting into Beijing University. You finally got what you wanted."

Yu Zhi also poured a cup of tea and raised his glass from a distance: "Thank you, Brother Yao."

Huo Yao handed Yu Zhi a menu.

"See if there's anything you like to eat?"

Yu Zhi didn't open the menu, but said, "Brother Yao, you decide. I'm not picky."

Huo Yao smiled and said, "You already call me Brother Yao, why are you still being polite to me?"

Yu Zhi finally ordered two dishes.

Huo Yao is the only son in the family. When he saw Yu Zhi, he was attracted by his tenacity and was willing to help him with the lawsuit.

He had met many people with miserable experiences in his work, some of whom were even more pitiful than Yu Zhi, but there were almost no people like Yu Zhi who came to seek legal aid at such a young age without their parents.

Others were either accompanied by relatives or friends, or simply did not dare to seek help and kept the situation quiet.

After contacting Yu Zhi, Huo Yao was moved with sympathy and decided to help Yu Zhi fight the lawsuit.

Yu Zhi was ten years younger than him and was still in high school at the time. Huo Yao treated him like his own younger brother, so he suggested that he pay attention to his mental health.

When I learned that he had no money, and thought about how young he was and how he had no one around him when he encountered such a thing, I thought about helping him more.

Seeing Yu Zhi like this, Huo Yao felt a little relieved.

Yu Zhi was a little restrained when he first met Huo Yao. After all, the two hadn't seen each other for a long time and hadn't been in touch much in the past two years. However, Huo Yao's natural attitude made Yu Zhi relax.

Yu Zhi: "Brother Yao, I never asked you what happened that made you go abroad suddenly. Is it resolved now?"

Huo Yao replied, "My grandmother was ill, and I've been taking care of her for the past two years. She passed away in the first half of this year. I didn't have much to do abroad, so I thought about returning to work."

Yu Zhiben just asked casually, but he didn't expect to bring up someone's sad story.

Yu Zhi felt a little ashamed: "I'm sorry, Brother Yao, I'm sorry."

Huo Yao didn't think it was a big deal. He was very open-minded about it. Learning to face the death of loved ones is a compulsory course in life.

As long as I still miss her in my heart, she has not really left.

Huo Yao's parents were busy with work, so he spent more time with his grandmother since he was a child, and the two had a deep relationship.

Otherwise, Huo Yao would not have left his job in China without saying a word and went abroad to take care of his grandmother. Fortunately, he was able to spend her last moments with her, so he had no regrets.

Huo Yao: "It's okay, let's not talk about me anymore. How about you, how are you doing recently? You seem to be doing well."

When mentioning this, Yu Zhi thought of Meng Yingnian. His current life was inseparable from Meng Yingnian.

Yu Zhi: "Very good."

Huo Yao asked the question that concerned him: "That family hasn't come to bother you again, right?"

Yu Zhi: "No, I met that classmate again in college. He told me that his father had passed away and his family was bankrupt."

Huo Yao frowned as he listened. "What they're doing now has nothing to do with you. Don't let this blind you to the pain you felt back then."

Huo Yao's concern didn't seem fake.

Yu Zhi knew that Huo Yao was thinking about him, and he felt relieved. He didn't expect that the person who cared about him in the end was a stranger who had helped him before.

Even though he was used by his father and betrayed by his friends, he now has a new life and people who care about him.

"Brother Yao, don't worry. I won't forgive them just because of this."

Huo Yao finally felt relieved.

"By the way, I left the country in a hurry. Did you see a psychiatrist afterwards? I can recommend one to you."

Yu Zhi answered truthfully: "I went to see it a while ago, and the problem is not serious. But thank you Brother Yao for always thinking about it."

Yu Zhi's answer surprised Huo Yao a little. At that time, Yu Zhi said that he had no money, and later he also mentioned his family situation.

He has to go to college now, so he doesn't have the money to see a psychologist.

But looking at Yu Zhi's expression, it didn't seem like he was lying or refusing his help.

And Yu Zhi's current condition looks much better than before.

After Huo Yao made an appointment with Yu Zhi, he went to Lin An to ask if there was a more authoritative psychologist.

It seems that it is no longer useful now.
