During this time, a waiter came in to serve the food.

Huo Yao called to Yu Zhi, "Take a look at what you like and eat more. We can talk while we eat."

"it is good."

Yu Zhi picked up the chopsticks and took a bite of the dish. The taste was amazing and it was definitely worth the price.

Huo Yao: "What about your family? Are you burdened with the cost of college?"

Huo Yao was afraid of bringing up his sad story, so he asked cautiously.

Yu Zhi didn't mind this.

"I've already left the Yu family. I received a full scholarship to study at the university and I've been able to support myself by working part-time."

Huo Yao knew that Yu Zhi had good grades, but he didn't expect her to be so good that she was admitted to Peking University and received a full scholarship.

"That's great, but if you have any difficulties, you can tell me. If you call me brother, I will treat you as my own brother."

Yu Zhi: "Okay, thank you Brother Yao."

Yu Zhi and Huo Yao hadn't actually been together for very long, and it had always been Huo Yao who had been helping him unilaterally.

Now the two haven't seen each other for two years, but Yu Zhi feels like he is meeting old friends again.

Perhaps because Huo Yao's attitude was too natural, Yu Zhi also wanted to say more.

Moreover, Huo Yao was older than him, and Yu Zhi felt that there was nothing he couldn't tell him.

Yu Zhi: "Brother Yao, I'm actually married."

After Yu Zhi really opened his mouth, he felt that it was not so difficult to say.

Huo Yao: "Hmm? Marriage..."

If I remember correctly, didn't Yu Zhi just become an adult this year? Although he has reached the legal age for marriage, it's too sudden.

When they met, Yu Zhi probably didn't have a boyfriend or girlfriend.

Huo Yao: "When did this happen? Didn't you just come of age? Who did you do it with?"

Now that Yu Zhi had opened his mouth, there was nothing he couldn't say.

"His name is Meng Yingnian. It was about three months ago."

Huo Yao didn't expect Yu Zhi to decide to get married so early.

"Why did you suddenly think of getting married? What does your partner do?"

Huo Yao had already put himself in the shoes of Yu Zhi's brother and began to inquire about his situation.

Yu Zhi is so young, he can’t have been deceived.

Yu Zhi: "His family runs a company. Getting married was indeed an accident, but he was the one who rescued me from the Yu family."

The more Huo Yao listened, the more he felt something was wrong. This didn't seem like some beautiful love story.

Huo Yao felt that the matter was not simple. He put down his chopsticks and asked seriously, "What's going on?"

Yu Zhi tried his best to explain things clearly.

"I had just finished the college entrance exam and thought I could finally leave the Yu family. But Yu Chengkun, my father, was in debt. When his creditors came knocking on his door and he couldn't pay them back, he decided to sell me off."

Huo Yao's expression became increasingly grim, but he did not interrupt Yu Zhi.

Yu Zhi continued, "I was already under his control when I discovered him. I don't know how Yu Chengkun found Meng Qiming, a branch of the Jingbei Meng family, and planned to sell me to him for 500 million yuan. I didn't expect a beta like me could be sold for that much."

Yu Zhi said this with a wry smile.

Although Huo Yao grew up abroad, he has stayed in China since graduation. Now that his studio has moved to northern Beijing, he has naturally heard of the Meng family.

He hesitated and asked, "That Meng Yingnian?"

Yu Zhi nodded: "Meng Yingnian is the heir of the Meng family and the current president of Huachuang Group."

Huo Yao became more and more confused as he listened: "Then how did you get together and get married?"

Yu Zhi: "When I was still in Shanghai, I was tutoring a child. That child was Meng Yingnian's nephew. We met by chance before."

"When Yu Chengkun abducted me to Jingbei and brought me to Meng Qiming, it was Meng Yingnian who came to rescue me."

"I wanted to report me to the police, but Meng Yingnian told me that Yu Chengkun not only sold me to Meng Qiming, but also contacted a pimp named Qian in northern Beijing, who has business dealings with many foreign sex workers. Yu Chengkun offered him 100 million yuan."

"Meng Yingnian said he liked me and proposed to marry me. Otherwise, even if he could save me once, Yu Chengkun would not let me go. If he could sell me to a Qian today, he could sell me to a Li tomorrow."

"Yu Chengkun is addicted to gambling. Once he runs out of money, he'll try to get his hands on me. Marrying Meng Yingnian is the best solution so far. If I stay with him, Yu Chengkun won't dare touch me again."

The last time Huo Yao heard Yu Zhi talk so much was when he was dealing with the matter of Zhao Lian's father. He didn't expect that when the two met again, Yu Zhi still encountered bad things.

He had known from the beginning that Yu Zhi's family had treated him badly, but he hadn't expected them to be so cruel.

Even today, one can still hear about human trafficking. It's not like he hasn't dealt with related cases before, but he never expected that Yu Zhi would encounter something like this.

And that Meng Yingnian, who said he liked her, was just taking advantage of the situation and using Yu Zhi's family affairs to force Yu Zhi to marry him. He was simply a mean-spirited person.

Yu Zhi is young and is easily fooled. Since the Meng family is so powerful, how could they not be able to solve this problem?

Huo Yao explained the situation to Yu Zhi as calmly as possible: "Yu Zhi, listen to me. You're still so young, you shouldn't rush into marriage. As for your family situation, there must be other solutions. Although I haven't thought of it yet, don't give up on yourself so easily."

Yu Zhi had thought that there might be other ways to get out of his predicament, but what Meng Yingnian had said to him at the time was not without reason. There is no such thing as a thief on guard against thieves. He couldn't think about how to guard against Yu Chengkun every day, otherwise he would not be able to live his life.

"I haven't given up on myself. I'm already doing well as a student at Kyoto University, and I don't have to worry about being sold off to some unknown place someday. That's already great for me. I can't think of a better solution."

Huo Yao: "But you two haven't known each other long, have you? He's taking advantage of your family situation and taking advantage of you. That's not the behavior of a gentleman. Since the Meng family is so powerful, if he really loves you as much as he says, how could he not have no solution? Marrying you is just to satisfy his own selfish desires."

If Huo Yao had said this to Yu Zhi at that time, Yu Zhi would have thought that Meng Yingnian must have ulterior motives.

But during the few months he had been with Meng Yingnian, he had already felt Meng Yingnian's sincerity.

Meng Yingnian obviously had many opportunities, but he never ignored his own wishes.

Even in the susceptible period, I would rather inject the inhibitors I have developed resistance to than worry about getting hurt. I will not hurt myself even if I lose my mind.

Yu Zhi explained to Huo Yao, "Meng Yingnian has already given Yu Chengkun 500 million. Moreover, even if he likes me, it doesn't mean he has to help me. He doesn't owe me anything. On the contrary, I owe him a lot."

Huo Yao: "Even if Meng Yingnian paid the 500 million, and you didn't take a cent, it shouldn't be counted on you."

"But even if I divorce Meng Yingnian, Yu Chengkun will just find me another buyer."

"Things haven't reached a point where they can't be rectified. We can find a way to put him in jail. As long as we can find evidence against them, we can send the buyer to jail as well. Even if it doesn't work out here, you can go abroad. My family has businesses overseas. Even if they have great abilities, they won't extend their influence abroad. I can ask my parents to help you settle down."

Yu Zhi understood Huo Yao's good intentions, but some facts are facts.

"But where can I escape to? I finally got into Beijing University and want to live a good life. Finding evidence to prove that Yu Chengkun broke the law won't be easy."

Huo Yao also knew that this was not a wise move. Not to mention whether he could find evidence, even if he could, there was no guarantee that Yu Zhi would not fall into danger.

And even if Yu Zhi's family is not worth staying with, it does not mean that Yu Zhi is willing to live alone in a foreign country.

Given Yu Zhi's personality, he certainly wouldn't accept help from others for nothing. Giving up the university of his dreams just to avoid such a person was really frustrating.

Why should Yu Zhi leave? He is just a little kid and has suffered all this for no reason. They are the ones who should be punished, not Yu Zhi.

Huo Yao could only say dryly, "I'll find a way. Don't lose heart."

Huo Yao didn't know what else he could do, but how would he know if he didn't try?

Yu Zhi didn't want Huo Yao to worry about him.

"Don't worry, Brother Yao. I'm doing fine now, you've seen it. Meng Yingnian treats me very well, not as bad as you think. He also said that if one day I want to leave, he won't stop me."

Huo Yao felt disheartened when he heard Yu Zhi say this. He felt a sense of sadness for no reason, as if his cabbages had been stolen.

He didn't understand why he had such an old father mentality at such a young age.

Yu Zhi said this as if he had been deceived by Meng Yingnian.

How can you easily believe what a man says?

Huo Yao scoffed at this: "Since he said so, then why don't you tell him you want a divorce and see if he will really let you go?"

"I think he just takes advantage of your young age and says nice things to coax you."

Yu Zhi didn't know how to explain to Huo Yao. After all, the reason why Yu Zhi married Meng Yingnian at that time was really because there was no love between them.

Yu Zhi: "I won't divorce him yet, and Meng Yingnian is not that bad."

Huo Yao was shocked when he heard Yu Zhi keep speaking for Meng Yingnian. "You like him?"

Yu Zhi didn't understand why Huo Yao suddenly asked this.

"I don't know." Yu Zhi said a little unsurely: "I can't say I like him, but I don't hate him."

Huo Yao felt quite disappointed with Yu Zhi when he saw him like this.

"I think you will be deceived by him sooner or later."

Huo Yao was very upset, but he had no better ideas at the moment, so he could only think about whether there was any way to solve Yu Zhi's worries.

We will then resolve the issue between Yu Zhi and Meng Yingnian.

Yu Zhi: "It shouldn't be that serious."

Huo Yao: "It's okay. If you ever want to divorce him, you can come to me. I have a senior who specializes in civil cases."

Yu Zhi felt that even if he divorced Meng Yingnian in the future, it would not come to the point of litigation, but he still accepted Huo Yao's kindness.

"Okay, I'll listen to Brother Yao."

Huo Yao's meal was full of ups and downs, and his mood was like riding a roller coaster.

His tone was a little tired: "Hurry up and continue eating. The food will not taste good if it gets cold."

The two of them were so engrossed in their conversation just now that they even forgot to eat.

Yu Zhi nodded in agreement: "Brother Yao, you should eat more too."

Meng Yingnian in the other box already had a poor appetite, and now he couldn't eat anything.

Yu Zhi has been in there for more than an hour. What is taking so long to eat?

And so far, Yu Zhi hasn't sent me a single message.

Chen Xun enjoyed the food while observing his boss's expression.

The person who had a dinner appointment with Mr. Yu should be the lawyer named Huo Yao whom President Meng asked to investigate.

Lawyer Huo used to work in Shanghai, but later went abroad and the law firm he invested in also moved to northern Beijing.

Now I have returned from abroad and work in northern Beijing.

Mr. Yu is from Shanghai, so the two of them should have known each other for a long time, at least before Huo Yao went abroad, which is much earlier than when Yu Zhi and Mr. Meng knew each other.

What connection could Mr. Yu have with Lawyer Huo?

Moreover, judging from Meng Yingnian's reaction, the two of them have a close relationship.

But before Huo Yao went abroad, Yu Zhi was still in high school.

How did Mr. Yu, a student, know Huo Yao, a lawyer?

But Chen Xun certainly didn't dare to ask Meng Yingnian, and could only rely on his own guess.

It can't be the drama of Bai Yueguang returning to China, it can't be, it can't be so bloody.

That's too pitiful for Mr. Meng.

Meng Yingnian had only instructed Chen Xun to deal with Zhao Lian's affairs, without explaining in detail why.

Chen Xun didn't ask any questions and just did what his boss told him to do.
