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

About half an hour later, Meng Yingnian received the message from Yu Zhi.

Zhizhi: [We’re done here, have you finished eating?]

Meng Yingnian: [We’ve finished eating. Shall we go home now?]

Zhizhi: [Come back, we’ll meet at the door.]

Yu Zhi and Huo Yao had almost finished their meal. Finally, Yu Zhi insisted on paying the bill. Huo Yao had no choice but to agree and said that he would definitely come next time.

Yu Zhi agreed repeatedly.

Huo Yao casually asked, "How are you leaving?"

He drove here today, thinking he could send Yu Zhi back.

Yu Zhi: "Someone is picking me up?"

Huo Yao knew without thinking who else it was.

But he still asked, "Who?"

"Meng Yingnian, he happens to be having dinner here too, I can just go back with him." Yu Zhi said this just as he finished replying to Meng Yingnian's message.

Huo Yao thought that he had to meet who this Meng Yingnian was.

Little did he know that Meng Yingnian had the same idea as him.

"What a coincidence, since we've met, why not meet and get to know each other."

Yu Zhi saw that Huo Yao was so dislikeful to Meng Yingnian just now, but he turned around and said that he wanted to meet Meng Yingnian and get to know him.

Why does this scene look so familiar?

Meng Yingnian had also insisted on following him before.

Yu Zhi was confused by this, but then he thought it would be better for the two of them to meet, so that Huo Yao would not have any misunderstandings about Meng Yingnian.

"Okay, I'll ask him to wait for me at the door."

Yu Zhi sent a message to Meng Yingnian to give him a heads-up.

Zhizhi: [Lawyer Huo wants to meet with you, so please don't talk nonsense.]

When Meng Yingnian received the news, he had already walked out of the box.

When I saw the message, I immediately went into alert mode.

He first went to the bathroom to check his attire, then handed the cane to Chen Xun to put in the car.

Then he slowly walked towards the door.

I saw Yu Zhi and the man standing next to him from a distance.

Huo Yao, Meng Yingnian saw his photo and recognized him at first sight.

He walked over with a leisurely pace.

He walked closer to Yu Zhi and put his arm around her waist intimately.

He extended his right hand towards Huo Yao in an intimate gesture of a partner.

"Hello, Mr. Huo. I've heard about you from my daughter Zhizhi a long time ago. Seeing is believing."

"It's a pleasure to meet you. I've never had the chance to thank you in person. I'll treat you to a nice meal next time I get to visit you."

Huo Yao saw Meng Yingnian coming so close to Yu Zhi and even holding Yu Zhi's waist, which was really unbearable to watch.

Especially Yu Zhi, who had no reaction to this, it was obvious that he was used to it.

But he still tried his best to control his expression, not to lose the battle.

Huo Yao stretched out his right hand and gently shook hands with Meng Yingnian.

He smiled and said, "Mr. Meng, I've heard a lot about you. Yu Zhiben and I are old acquaintances, so there's no need for Mr. Meng to thank you. You're really too polite."

Others couldn't hear it, but both of them could hear the sharp tone in each other's words.

One declared his sovereignty and showed that he had a close relationship with Yu Zhi; the other stated that he and Yu Zhi had known each other for a long time.

Yu Zhi keenly sensed the tension between the two sides and hurried out to smooth things over.

"Brother Yao, let's get together again when we have time. Go back and continue with your work. I should go back too."

After saying that, he pulled Meng Yingnian's arm to signal.

When Meng Yingnian heard Yu Zhi calling the other party Brother Yao, the calm expression on his face could no longer be maintained.

Before coming here, he was always calling me Lawyer Huo, but after having a meal with me he became Brother Yao.

Huo Yao noticed the little tricks between Yu Zhi and Meng Yingnian, and felt that persuading Yu Zhi was a long and arduous task.

Chen Xun's late arrival averted a disaster.

The event ended with the two sides exchanging business cards.

Yu Zhi wanted to ask just now.

"Where's your cane?"

I clearly saw Meng Yingnian holding a cane when he got off the car.

Worried that Meng Yingnian's legs were uncomfortable, Yu Zhi supported Meng Yingnian's arm all the way.

Meng Yingnian remained calm and said, "Put it in the car."

Yu Zhidu almost thought that his memory was confused.

"I remember you brought it with you when you got off the bus."

Meng Yingnian tried to deceive Yu Zhi: "You remembered it wrongly."

Yu Zhi firmly believed that his memory was correct.

"Impossible, do you take me for a fool?"

Seeing that Yu Zhi was not fooled, Meng Yingnian told the truth.

"I asked Chen Xun to put it back in the car. I didn't want anyone else to see it."

This other person specifically refers to Huo Yao.

Yu Zhi: "Don't you always not care about this?"

Meng Yingnian: "Now I start to care."

Yu didn't know what Meng Yingnian was doing.

Meng Yingnian knew that Yu Zhi would not tell him himself, so he decided to take the initiative to ask.

"What did you guys just talk about?"

Yu Zhi had nothing to hide from Meng Yingnian.

"We briefly chatted about recent developments."

Meng Yingnian: "I think he seems to know the relationship between you and me."

Huo Yao had just taken the initiative to meet him in advance, and he was not surprised at all to see him next to Yu Zhi.

Yu Zhi: "I told him that I was marrying you."

Meng Yingnian was a little proud, but still pretended to ask, "Don't you want others to know about this?"

Yu Zhi: "Brother Yao is not someone else, he is my benefactor, there is nothing I can't tell him."

Meng Yingnian: “…”

He is both a benefactor and Brother Yao. Meng Yingnian feels that his previous worries were not unnecessary at all.

"You were calling him Lawyer Huo before, why are you calling him Brother Yao now?"

Yu Zhi: "He is older than me, is there a problem with me calling him brother?"

Yu Zhi looked at Meng Yingnian as if he were a fool.

Meng Yingnian refused to give up: "Then I am older than you, why don't you call me Brother Nian?"

"You want to compete with me?" Yu Zhi said helplessly, "Given our relationship, I call you brother. Are you sure you're not just playing tricks on me?"

Chen Xun was about to burst out laughing when he heard their conversation, but he had to suppress his laughter. If he laughed, he would probably lose his job.

Or just send him to the African branch, but Chen Xun didn't dare to take the risk.

After hearing what Yu Zhi said, Meng Yingnian wanted to hear him call him brother even more.

Meng Yingnian asked knowingly, "What is our relationship?"

Yu Zhi now didn't just look at a fool, he was staring at Meng Yingnian with the eyes of a fool.

He said perfunctorily, "Mr. Meng is really a noble man who forgets things easily. What kind of relationship is this? It's just a relationship after we got married."

Meng Yingnian coaxed, "Then it's not too much for Zhizhi to call me brother, right?"

Yu Zhi didn't want to waste any more words with him.

"Brother Nian, that's enough."

Anyway, calling me brother won’t make you lose anything.

Meng Yingnian didn't expect Yu Zhi to be so easy to talk to today.

But I still feel worried when I think of Huo Yao.

Pursuing Yu Zhi was already very difficult, and now with Huo Yao as an obstacle, it was even more difficult.

Meng Yingnian asked indirectly, "Did Lawyer Huo say anything to you?"

"What?" Yu Zhi asked back.

Meng Yingnian's tone was ambiguous: "What's his attitude after he found out we were married?"

Yu Zhi was surprised: "Do you still care about this?"

"I certainly don't care what his attitude is. I care more about your opinion."

This is Meng Yingnian's true thought, and Huo Yao probably wouldn't say anything good about him.

If Yu Zhidu had told him, his behavior when he got married was indeed not glorious.

Meng Yingnian had never concealed his selfish motives from the beginning, but now he was worried.

What else could Yu Zhi think? The situation at that time was indeed desperate, but the relationship was already established.

He didn't feel like he had anything to regret.

From beginning to end, Meng Yingnian did not force himself. It was his own choice.

Yu Zhi noticed that Meng Yingnian was silent.

"Do you want to know what he said?"

Meng Yingnian nodded.

"think."

"Oh." Yu Zhi began to keep the secret: "He said..."

Meng Yingnian looked into Yu Zhi's eyes.

"Brother Yao said he would help me, that I could get a divorce at any time, and that if I got into trouble, he could send me abroad."

Every time Yu Zhi said something, Meng Yingnian's heart tightened.

After hearing this, I couldn't help but feel angry. I was too nice to people just now.

Who would advise someone to divorce right away?

What are you talking about going abroad? Why are you going abroad for no reason?

Meng Yingnian: "Then what did you say?"

He was still more concerned about Yu Zhi's thoughts.

Yu Zhi: "I said I would consider it."

Meng Yingnian didn't expect that after this meal, his wife would really be gone.

"Zhizhi, you're not really considering it, are you? With me here, what trouble can you have?"

Yu Zhi said seriously, "If we really get divorced one day, there's no guarantee that Yu Chengkun won't cause trouble for me."

"Even if we get divorced, I won't let anyone hurt you."

Meng Yingnian felt a little sad, but still expressed his attitude.

"You don't have to go abroad. It's not safe for you to go abroad alone where you don't know anyone."

Meng Yingnian seemed to be really considering Yu Zhi's future life.

Yu Zhi stopped teasing him: "I didn't say I was going abroad."

Meng Yingnian seized the loophole in his words.

"Then you are considering divorcing me."

Yu Zhi didn't have this idea for the time being, or to be more precise, he hadn't thought about it.

"But didn't you also say that you would respect my wishes and let me go free if I wanted to leave?"

Meng Yingnian couldn't hide his disappointment: "I'm right, but I don't want to divorce you."

Yu Zhi couldn't guarantee whether she would file for divorce with him in the future. Who could say for sure what would happen in the future?

"Don't worry, I mean what I say."

The two of them remained silent all the way, and no one knew what each of them was thinking.

Meng Yingnian asked Chen Xun to drive home first and then returned to the company after sending Yu Zhi home.

Yu Zhi thought Meng Yingnian would pester him to accompany him to the company.

But he still said nothing.

Yu Zhi has the habit of taking a nap. In the past, he would fall asleep in the car after lunch.

But today's chat with Meng Yingnian was not pleasant, and Yu Zhi felt embarrassed to sleep in his arms again.

I returned to the room, changed into pajamas and prepared to take a comfortable nap.

I ended up lying there for an hour and couldn't fall asleep.

He had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but it seemed like he was thinking of nothing.

Later, I took out my cell phone, put on headphones, and started to memorize CET-4 words. I don’t know how long it took before I finally fell asleep.

Meng Yingnian understood that even without Huo Yao, Yu Zhi would still consider divorcing him.

He has never liked anyone else and fell in love with Yu Zhi at first sight.

He didn't know what the process of falling in love with someone was like, nor did he know how to make Yu Zhi like him.

Or, if you don't like something, you just don't like it, and no matter how hard you try, you can't change it.

Meng Yingnian became confused and began to reflect on whether signing the marriage agreement with Yu Zhi was the right thing to do. But if they hadn't gotten married, how else could they have crossed paths?

They had almost no overlap in life, and it was Meng Yingnian who forcefully pulled Yu Zhi into his life.

He knew very well that Yu Zhi would definitely not refuse at that time.

Meng Yingnian himself could not give an answer, and could only hope that Yu Zhi would choose to leave one day later, or even one day later.

People always say that a short pain is worse than a long one, and the sooner you withdraw, the better, so as not to get deeper and deeper into trouble.

But that is only used to persuade others, and I can’t do it when it comes to myself.

Chen Xun listened to the whole thing in the car and began to worry that he would be silenced.

However, judging from Mr. Meng's reaction, he didn't seem to intend to pay any attention to him.

As soon as Meng Yingnian returned to the company, he immersed himself in work.

Chen Xun knocked on the office door and pushed it open after hearing Mr. Meng's voice.

"Mr. Meng, there's a charity dinner tonight. I'm wondering if you plan to attend or turn it down."

If it were an ordinary day, when Yu Zhi was at home on weekends, Meng Yingnian would usually not go out for social events.

The Meng family can be said to be the most powerful family in northern Beijing, but Meng Yingnian still has to show up when he should.

Although Meng Yingnian has a cold personality, he never acts superior and always observes all necessary etiquette.

It was not necessary to attend this occasion tonight, but after that incident in the afternoon, Chen Xun was not sure whether Meng Yingnian would go back early to accompany Yu Zhi.
