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

"What time did you meet with Brother Yao and the others?" Yu Zhi asked while fastening his seat belt after getting in the car.

Meng Yingnian started the car and drove forward: "Six o'clock, let's go somewhere else first."

Huo Yao and Lin An's law firm is still working according to the winter time schedule, and if they don't work overtime, they get off work at 5 p.m.

Meng Yingnian made an appointment with them to meet in the restaurant's private room at six o'clock. He had already informed the manager in advance.

Yu Zhi asked: "Where else are we going?" It was still more than an hour before six o'clock.

"You'll know when you get there." Meng Yingnian still wanted to be mysterious.

The place we arrived at should be a flower shop?

This flower shop is very large, with all kinds of fresh flowers and potted flowers, which dazzled Yu Zhi.

Meng Yingnian took Yu Zhi in as if he knew the place well. "This is my sister-in-law's flower shop."

Good things should be kept within the family. The flowers that Meng Yingnian gave to Yu Zhi were all taken from here, and of course they were not given for free.

Meng Yingnian almost never made a mistake when sending Yu Zhi a bouquet of flowers, thanks to Wen Yiying's advice. She likes to grow and arrange flowers, and occasionally makes bouquets by hand, so she is quite knowledgeable about these things.

Wen Yiying not only opened a flower shop, but also a dessert shop, a coffee shop, a tea house...

Meng Yingnian later asked Wen Yiying to help him buy Geisha coffee beans for Yu Zhi.

The Meng family has no shortage of good stores, and Wen Yiying can choose them first. However, Wen Yiying is more Buddhist and doesn't care much about the store's turnover or how much money is made. She treats it more like a hobby and a way to kill time.

Although Wen Yiying has a casual attitude towards running the store, she has strict control over the items in the store. The quality of the goods is top-notch, which has attracted many repeat customers. Every store has unexpectedly good business.

In the end, not only did I not lose money, I even made a small profit.

The shop assistants were all very familiar with Meng Yingnian and greeted him gently: "Mr. Meng came here in person today." After saying that, they nodded and greeted Yu Zhi.

This was the first time Mr. Meng brought someone here. Seeing the two of them holding hands, I thought this was Mr. Yu who was going to receive the flowers.

Most of the time, Meng Yingnian would ask the driver to pick it up on the way, or have them deliver it directly to the company or home. Sometimes when he went to the school to pick up Yu Zhi, he would come over himself.

Meng Yingnian nodded: "Let's pick one ourselves."

The clerk quietly stepped back.

"What kind of flowers does Zhizhi want?" Meng Yingnian asked in a gentle voice.

Many flowers bloom in spring, and the store is full of flowers. Meng Yingnian and Yu Zhi are dazzled by the choices.

Yu Zhi shook his head: "I don't quite understand these." He didn't know much about flowers and plants. His mother liked them, but she died when he was very young, and later he had no time to learn about them.

He could only barely recognize a few common flowers. When he went to Yun Province with Meng Yingnian before, there were many varieties that he didn't recognize.

Meng Yingnian had given him many flowers. He didn't know the names of some of them at first, but later he looked them up. But every bouquet was beautiful, and Yu Zhi took pictures of them and saved them in his photo album.

The flowers in the vases at home have been replaced batch after batch, but Yu Zhi cannot recognize all the varieties of flowers. He even has "face blindness" to all the flowers because there are too many clusters of flowers.

Finally, Meng Yingnian picked out a bunch of peonies and platycodon and asked the clerk to take them away and pack them up.

Meng Yingnian didn't quite understand these things, but after giving flowers so many times, he had gained some experience and had a good sense of aesthetics.

A few white gentian flowers are interspersed among the pink and white peonies and wrapped in light green wrapping paper, giving it a fresh and refined look.

The packaging effect was very good. Meng Yingnian was very satisfied and handed the flowers to Yu Zhi.

"Put it on my account." Meng Yingnian would ask someone to come over and settle the bill together every month.

The clerk respectfully escorted the two of them away: "Okay, Mr. Meng and Mr. Yu, take care."

After getting in the car, Yu Zhicai leaned in to smell it. Neither the peony nor the platycodon had a strong and fragrant scent. They only had a light floral fragrance that was very comfortable and did not irritate the nose.

Meng Yingnian noticed Yu Zhi's actions. Every time he received flowers, he would dip into the bouquet and smell the fragrance when no one was paying attention.

Yu didn't know that he was like a curious kitten at this moment, sneaking around and thinking he was doing it very secretly, but in fact, everything was seen by everyone: "Zhizhi, do you like it?"

"Yeah." Yu Zhi raised his head and looked straight ahead, replying lightly.

This was the perfect time to leave for the restaurant. When Yu Zhi and Meng Yingnian arrived, Huo Yao and Lin An had not arrived yet.

Meng Yingnian had ordered the dishes in advance and was just waiting for everyone to arrive so that they could order a few of their favorite dishes.

When Lin An and Huo Yao arrived at the private room, it was already a few minutes past the agreed time. They had always arrived early on previous occasions. Lin An came in and apologized, "Sorry, I was stuck in traffic for a few minutes."

The traffic in Beijing's northern part was congested during the morning and evening rush hours. Vehicles kept flowing, but it was difficult for them to move at all. Lin An and Huo Yao came in the same car, originally planning to get off work early and come here early.

As a result, they received a consultation before leaving get off work, which delayed them for a few minutes. It was these few minutes that caused them to be stuck in traffic for 30 minutes.

Meng Yingnian invited the two to sit down and pushed the menu over. "It's just a gathering among friends, there's no need to be so particular. Just take a look and see what you want to eat."

Lin An and Huo Yao both noticed the word Meng Yingnian said and the change in his attitude. Although Meng Yingnian had always been humble and polite to others, there was still something different.

Meng Yingnian didn't have much of an opinion about Huo Yao himself. He was indeed very dissatisfied with Huo Yao's advice to Yu Zhi to divorce him, but whether it was jealousy or something else, it was all out of personal feelings. He didn't want to affect Yu Zhi's friendship with others because of himself.

When Yu Zhi got into trouble this time, Huo Yao and Lin An came forward to help Yu Zhi without saying a word. Lin An is still helping Yu Zhi with the lawsuit. Meng Yingnian is not an ungrateful person. He does not mind showing his goodwill and showing goodwill to others first.

Lin An and Huo Yao couldn't possibly refuse Meng Yingnian's wishes, so they accepted his gesture, symbolically ordered two dishes and started talking about business.

While the food was being served, they chatted about the subsequent development of the case. Huo Yao had been following Lu Mingsheng's case and told him all the information he knew.

Lin An is mainly responsible for the case of Lu Baizhou and those rumormongers.

Lu Mingsheng's case is not that simple. The current evidence and facts are sufficient for sentencing, and it has not been fully investigated. Further interrogation is needed for those things that cannot be found on the surface.

But we don’t know whether they can finally find out the answer, but at least this hidden danger has been solved.

The appetizers were served, and Yu Zhi picked up the bottle of wine and poured himself a glass.

He raised his glass to Lin An and Huo Yao: "Brother An, Brother Yao, thank you for this time. I toast to you."

Yu Zhi is not good at sentimental expression, can't say nice words, and has limited abilities. He really doesn't know how to thank them for their help. He can only keep it firmly in his heart and repay them double when he has the chance in the future.

Lin An and Huo Yao also poured a glass of wine: "If you encounter any problems in the future, you can come to us for help first. We will definitely help if we can, and we can also work together to find a solution if we can't."

"Huo Yao treats you as his younger brother, but he is still my younger brother. Why should you be polite to your elder brother?"

"Besides, we accepted the money this time. We are loyal to our ruler. You can thank Mr. Meng more."

Huo Yao also said, "I told you long ago that you don't have to be polite to us." He pretended to be unhappy, "If you continue like this, I will be angry."

Huo Yao still knew this from Meng Yingnian. As Yu Zhi didn't want to cause trouble to others, even if he came to ask, Yu Zhi would just say it was okay.

Sometimes he admired Yu Zhi's tenacity, but sometimes he felt annoyed by his stubbornness.

Meng Yingnian didn't plan to drink. First, Yu Ning had told him not to drink, and since he rarely drank, Yu Zhi wouldn't let him. Second, he had to drive, and he would be going home soon anyway, so there was no need to bother the driver with a round trip.

The protagonists of today's dinner are the three of them, and Meng Yingnian sits on the side as a foil.

Yu Zhi drank two more cups with Lin An and Huo Yao. Her speech was still clear, but her little face was rosy, similar to the foreign peony that Meng Yingnian picked today.

Meng Yingnian looked at Yu Zhi with interest, seeing that he was trying to be awake but his eyes were a little blurry, and he looked dazed from time to time.

Meng Yingnian guessed that Yu Zhi's alcohol tolerance was probably not very good. Yu Zhi had only drunk two glasses of wine before, and had never drunk several glasses in a row like today.

He had no intention of stopping Yu Zhi from drinking. After all, in today's occasion, Yu Zhi was definitely going to have a few drinks with Lin An and Huo Yao. However, Yu Zhi was obviously drunk.

When Yu Zhi was about to pick up the wine glass again, Meng Yingnian held his wrist and signaled him not to drink anymore.

Then he looked up and stopped Lin An and Huo Yao: "Alright, Zhizhi can't drink much, so you should eat more. This restaurant's Suzhou cuisine is very good."

Lin An and Huo Yao also noticed that Yu Zhi's reaction was a little slow, so they put down their wine glasses and concentrated on eating.

Lin An was born with a good alcohol tolerance, while Huo Yao's was acquired through training.

Although Huo Yao played a supporting role beside Lin An in the cooperation negotiations with the enterprises, Lin An was an omega after all. Huo Yao was worried about him going out to drink and socialize with those people, so he always took the initiative to volunteer to block the drinking.

Lin An has a good alcohol tolerance, but there is a difference between drinking on his own and being forced to drink, so he is naturally willing to let Huo Yao do it for him.

He knew that being an omega meant he was at a disadvantage in certain aspects, but he never complained about it. He would overcome it if he could, and avoid it if he couldn't. There was no need to stubbornly go against the wind, which would be a waste of effort and yield no results.

Accepting reality does not mean resigning to fate. He has his own way to go.

Yu Zhi was very well behaved after getting drunk. His reactions were slow. He would do whatever he was told to do, not drink if he was told not to, and eat whatever he was told to eat.

Meng Yingnian put the dishes into his bowl, and Yu Zhi picked them up and put them into his mouth to eat.

After the dinner, Meng Yingnian called a designated driver for Lin An and Huo Yao in advance. He watched them get in the car before taking Yu Zhi home.

Yu Zhi followed him quietly throughout the whole process, without making any noise or disturbance. If Meng Yingnian hadn't just seen it, he would probably have thought he was not drunk.

After all, Yu Zhi is usually very quiet and doesn't talk much. His pace at this time is still steady, but it is still different from usual.

Yu Zhi felt dizzy and his whole body was in a daze, but his consciousness was still clear. It was just that the voice in his ears seemed a little far away, and he needed to think for a while before he could react to what the other person said.

He knew that he had to take a bus home with Meng Yingnian.

As soon as he got in the car, Yu Zhi saw the flowers that Meng Yingnian had given him in the afternoon. He picked them up and held them in his arms, sniffing the fragrance of the flowers carefully. His eyelids became heavier and heavier.

Meng Yingnian glanced at Yu Zhi's nodding head, found an opportunity to pull over, and carefully laid Yu Zhi down on the seat. Even though he had fallen asleep, he still held the bouquet in his arms.

He stared at Yu Zhi's peaceful sleeping face, unconsciously mesmerized. He was dazzled by the headlights of the car in the next lane before he started the car and drove towards home.

Yu Zhi's sleeping position remained almost unchanged throughout the entire process. After parking the car, Meng Yingnian did not rush to get out. He first took out his mobile phone to report to Lin An that he was safe. He put away his phone only after seeing that they had arrived home safely.

He walked around to the other side of the car, unbuckled his seat belt, refused the servant's help, and held Yu Zhilianhua in his arms.

Meng Yingnian had just put Yu Zhi on the bed in the master bedroom and was about to take the flowers from Yu Zhi's arms when Yu Zhi reacted and woke up.

Yu Zhi didn't know when he fell asleep. When he woke up, he was already lying in his bed at home. He didn't feel sleepy after taking a nap on the way.

His mind was still a little slow, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Meng Yingnian's face right in front of him and the flowers in his arms.
