CHAPTER 435: CHAPTER 435: TRAPPED (PART 2)

"Really?" Lian Qingyang did not expect Old Master Meng to be so understanding, he quickly asked, "Do you mean what you say?"

Tang Yue quietly glared at him, after all, he’s a big shot, wouldn’t his word count?

"Sorry." Tang Yue quickly apologized.

Mr. Meng waved his hand, signaling her not to say more, as initially, he did not have a good impression of this girl, Tang Yue.

Meng Yanzhi did mess things up a bit, but he was also the one who taught him, he had not managed his grandson well, he was at fault, he believed that it takes two to tango, but seeing Tang Yue, he realized, this was just Meng Yanzhi being impulsive.

The girl had clear and upright eyes, definitely not someone who changes love interests frequently.

Mr. Meng seemed to age years within a day, his thoughts shifted several times in his mind, but his face showed none of it, he said, "Yanzhi did something wrong, and as his grandfather, I also feel very guilty. For this matter, medical expenses are needless to mention, but if there is anything unsatisfactory, feel free to speak up."

"We don’t lack money." Lian Qingyang definitely did not lack money, he said, "Old Master Meng, we can not ask for a penny more, but we want Meng Yanzhi to stay far away from my Sister Xiao Yue forever, otherwise, I will sue him."

Lian Qingyang didn’t care about the money, but cared about Meng Yanzhi, who had wealth and power, there are always thieves, but no one can be on guard all the time.

Old Master Meng’s expression remained unchanged, he promised, "Mr. Lian, rest assured, such things will definitely not happen again in the future."

Lian Qingyang wanted to say more, but Tang Yue quickly pulled him back. She was aware of the Meng Group, and with Old Master Meng, being the highest decision-maker of the Meng Group, saying such things was a significant guarantee.

"Miss Tang, could you escort me?" Old Master Meng still looked very amiable.

"Sure." Tang Yue said with a beaming smile.

In the hospital corridor, the night was very quiet, they walked all the way down to the garden at the base of the building, where Mr. Meng sat down on a bench to one side.

Tang Yue stood beside him.

Mr. Meng said, "Miss Tang, please have a seat."

Tang Yue smiled and didn’t refuse, the bench was long, even with two people sitting, there was still plenty of space left.

"Miss Tang, Yanzhi must have caused you a lot of trouble, hasn’t he?" Mr. Meng asked like a kind elder.

Tang Yue laughed awkwardly, saying ’yes’ in front of his grandfather didn’t seem right, saying ’no’ would be against her feelings, so she simply didn’t say a word.

"Yanzhi, from childhood to adulthood, anything he wanted to obtain, he never failed to get," Mr. Meng said. "Miss Tang, you are a good girl, I heard your boyfriend is with Bailutong Team?"

"It was before." Tang Yue nodded.

Mr. Meng sized up Tang Yue under the moonlight, her visage appeared very charming, even he as an old man, couldn’t help but take a few more glances, beautiful things, whether objects or people, are always desirable.

"I’ve met him, a very outstanding young man, but..." his gaze landed on Tang Yue’s face, he continued, "often going out, driving so far, aren’t you worried? Don’t you feel hard done by or aggrieved?"

Tang Yue smiled broadly and said, "I am not afraid of hardship, nor do I want to part from him, but he also has his own work, I can’t hold him back. Actually, danger is not exclusive to them, even us ordinary people can be in danger?"

"Even walking on the street, accidents might happen." Every word Tang Yue said was heartfelt.

She was not afraid of hardship, her past life was a hundred times harder than now.

She was not afraid of waiting alone, when busy, yearnings could be set aside, the only thing she feared was him not having her in his heart.

"Good," Mr. Meng’s voice suddenly rose a few tones, his eyes looking at Tang Yue with approval, he said, "Miss Tang, having such an ideological awareness is very good, very good."

Mr. Meng said "very good" twice and then said, "Mr. Tang, you can go back now."

Mr. Meng stood up and left.

Tang Yue watched Qu Feng following Mr. Meng, their receding figures stretching long. Had Mr. Meng just called her out to say this?

Tang Yue cocked her head and thought about it, but couldn’t figure it out, so she went upstairs.

"Sister Xiao Yue." Lian Qingyang asked anxiously, "Sister Xiao Yue, what did Mr. Meng say to you? He didn’t threaten you, did he?"

When Tang Yue was called away, Lian Qingyang was worried, afraid that Mr. Meng might say one thing and do another, pretending to ensure Meng Yanzhi receives his deserved punishment in his presence, but actually threatening Tang Yue behind the scenes.

"No." Tang Yue slapped Lian Qingyang lightly and said, "Qingyang, don’t talk like that. Mr. Meng is an elder after all."

"Even old men can be biased." Lian Qingyang muttered, "Sister Xiao Yue, everyone has their biases, and it’s perfectly normal, especially since Meng Yanzhi has Mr. Meng’s favor." In Lian Qingyang’s mind, this bias was also normal.

"But, bias depends on the issue at hand. Mr. Meng is a reasonable man," Tang Yue replied.

Taking advantage of a bathroom break, Bai Qing pulled Tang Yue aside to ask, "Did Mr. Meng really not threaten you?"

"No." Tang Yue saw that Bai Qing was also skeptical and almost swore to heaven, laughing as she said, "Mr. Meng just said a few words to me, nothing else."

Bai Qing remained half-convinced.

Meng Family.

When Mr. Meng returned home, Meng Yanzhi was still kneeling there. Seeing Mr. Meng come in, Meng Yanzhi excitedly said, "Grandfather."

"Qu Feng, take Yanzhi back to his room," Mr. Meng said and then went inside.

"Grandfather, I was wrong, I really know my mistake," Meng Yanzhi shouted towards Mr. Meng’s retreating figure, but Mr. Meng did not even give him a glance.

"I’ll help you up." Qu Feng helped Meng Yanzhi stand up. Having knelt for a long time, his abdominal wound had already been stained red with blood. Qu Feng’s eyes flickered, and after sending him back to the room, he immediately called a doctor who only left after properly dressing Meng Yanzhi’s wounds.

"Grandfather, are you too disappointed in me?" Meng Yanzhi murmured to himself, this return was different, no confinement, no scolding, unlike his usual mischiefs.

Normally when he causes trouble, isn’t he always punished, scolded, confined?

Qu Feng looked at Meng Yanzhi for a long while but ultimately didn’t say a word.

*

Yanshan Mountain top.

Qin Anyu had fallen asleep while waiting and when she woke up again, it was already dark.

"Where is Xiao Yue?" Qin Anyu groggily looked around and asked, "Where is this?"

This place looked unfamiliar.

"The residence on the mountain top," Chu Hong answered.

Chu Anyu blinked, and after a while realized, of course, she had come to play in Yanshan today.
