CHAPTER 438: CHAPTER 438: BOWING HIS HEAD

"Meng Yanzhi, you still have the nerve to show up!" Lian Qingyang pointed at Meng Yanzhi’s nose and cursed, "I’m telling you, if I don’t sue you until you spend years behind bars, then I’m not a true Lian."

"Qingyang, be careful with your leg," Tang Yue reminded him, worried that he’d jump out of bed onto the floor.

The doctors had repeatedly instructed very strictly that the leg must not be moved at all.

With a leg in a cast, he couldn’t do or move anything, let alone his foot.

"Sister Xiao Yue, I’m fine," Lian Qingyang glared at Meng Yanzhi fiercely.

"I’m here to apologize." Meng Yanzhi stood in front of the hospital bed, unfazed by Lian Qingyang’s hostility. His gaze fell on Tang Yue, who was wearing new clothes. Her red sweater made her complexion look even whiter; the delicate face, though tired, was still stunningly beautiful.

"Hey hey hey, you hurt me, why are you looking at Sister Xiao Yue?" Lian Qingyang pulled Tang Yue to stand by his side.

Bai Qing approached with small steps, standing next to Tang Yue, on guard as she looked towards Meng Yanzhi, unsure if he might have gone crazy.

Warmth flooded Tang Yue’s heart as she saw the two of them standing next to her, protecting her from each side.

Tang Yue looked at Meng Yanzhi with clear and honest eyes and said, "Meng Yanzhi, have you thought it through?" There was something different about Meng Yanzhi today.

And yesterday, when Hei Tie wanted to hurt her, Meng Yanzhi too had wanted to protect her.

"I’ve thought it through." Meng Yanzhi nodded and deeply bowed to Lian Qingyang and Tang Yue, saying, "I’m sorry."

He bowed and remained that way for a long time, his voice not loud, but very clear.

Qu Feng stood by, unable to help his eyes from reddening. Having watched Meng Yanzhi grow up from a child, even more than his own children, it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say Meng Yanzhi was like half a son to him.

Meng Yanzhi had been trouble since childhood, the little bully of the big courtyard, very arrogant, never admitted he was wrong, let alone bowed his head to someone like he did now.

"Meng Yanzhi, what’s your angle here? Don’t think that just by bowing your head and admitting your fault, I will let you off," Lian Qingyang eyed Meng Yanzhi suspiciously. Even though this apology seemed sincere, he still felt there was a catch.

"Lian Qingyang, I’m leaving for another country tomorrow, and I won’t come to bother Tang Yue anymore. Are you satisfied with this outcome?" Meng Yanzhi said, ignoring Lian Qingyang’s shocked gaze and continued, "Regarding the injury on your body, you falling down the ravine was not intentional on my part."

"Of course, I can’t shirk the responsibility for that, it’s my fault," Meng Yanzhi’s head hung low, looking completely at their mercy.

Lian Qingyang’s eyes widened as he looked at Meng Yanzhi, feeling that he was completely different from the person he once knew.

"Mr. Lian, if you want to take your anger out, then take it out on me," Qu Feng said as he stepped forward.

Lian Qingyang replied irritably, "Everyone must bear their own consequences. What does Meng Yanzhi’s wrongdoing have to do with you?"

"Going abroad can let you escape the mistakes you’ve made?" Lian Qingyang looked at Meng Yanzhi furiously.

Meng Yanzhi was not angered by what Lian Qingyang said.

Lian Qingyang seemed to think of something, and he asked, "Are you really going abroad, never to return?"

"I’m not sure," Meng Yanzhi replied, unclear even to himself when he would be able to return to his country.

"In that case, Meng Yanzhi, I won’t trouble you about this injury, but you have to give me a guarantee, a guarantee that you’ll never trouble Sister Xiao Yue again," Lian Qingyang’s voice rang out, seemingly still the same gaming-loving youth, but right now he was exceptionally serious.

Going abroad, that’s even better. Once abroad, with all the chaos overseas, even if something happens to Meng Yanzhi, could the Meng Family still reach out there?

"Alright." Meng Yanzhi agreed without much hesitation.

...

"Qingyang, your injuries..." Tang Yue felt that Lian Qingyang had suffered a lot of injuries, yet Meng Yanzhi didn’t receive the punishment he deserved. It was hard for her to accept that the guarantee he asked for was still because of her.

"Sister Xiao Yue." Lian Qingyang grinned: "You’re my sister, it’s only right for me to protect you."

"Eh." Lian Qingyang caught sight of Mo Siyu standing at the door of the hospital room, wearing a crisp white shirt, his beard cleanly shaven, looking much more spirited. He sweetly said: "Future brother-in-law, how did you know I was here?"

When Mo Siyu saved him that day, although it wasn’t a life-or-death situation, it really moved Lian Qingyang, especially when Tang Yue mentioned how Mo Siyu saved her, it made Lian Qingyang even happier.

The future brother-in-law really cares about Sister Xiao Yue.

"If I want to know, naturally I’ll find out." Mo Siyu lifted a small smile, which softened the sharpness of his features, his gaze fell on Tang Yue.

Beside them, Bai Qing rolled her eyes inwardly. The Mo Siyu in front of her eyes and Feng Zhi from Fei Country were like two different people, which took her a long time to come to terms with.

"Why are you free today?" Excitement in Tang Yue’s eyes couldn’t be concealed.

"There’s some business to handle." Mo Siyu answered. After meeting with Old Master Meng, Mo Siyu returned to Pinganda Company. Right now Pinganda is just starting out and needs to work hard on building a good reputation.

Tang Yue stared at his white shirt, which looked even more handsome than usual, and asked: "Shall we have lunch together then?"

"I’m afraid there might not be enough time." Mo Siyu said helplessly, his gaze resting on Lian Qingyang lying in the hospital bed.

"Future brother-in-law, you guys go ahead and chat, come see me after you’re done," Lian Qingyang said with a chortle, with eyes like big panda circles, his smile lacked the coolness of the previous days.

Tang Yue’s face turned red, only then realizing that since Mo Siyu had entered the room, he had been speaking to her all the time and hadn’t even spoken to Lian Qingyang yet.

Lian Qingyang was eager to have a good talk with the future brother-in-law, and Mo Siyu also knew that this inexpensive younger brother had truly caught Tang Yue’s eye. Their conversation was naturally relaxed, and Bai Qing found an excuse to slip away.

"Xiao Yue, Qingyang, about the matters of the Meng Family, I have met with Old Master Meng." Mo Siyu conveyed exactly what Old Master Meng had said.

Lian Qingyang said: "Future brother-in-law, as long as Meng Yanzhi doesn’t have designs on Sister Xiao Yue, I’m fine with these injuries."

Lian Qingyang didn’t feel very close to Mo Siyu. When Sister Xiao Yue got into trouble, Mo Siyu just negotiated such a condition with the Meng Family?

Going abroad, stripped of Meng Yanzhi’s right to take over, so what? Meng Yanzhi is still living well, isn’t he?

Thinking this way, Lian Qingyang didn’t feel so close to the future brother-in-law anymore. Sister Xiao Yue is so good; she definitely deserves someone better to take care of her, to make sure she lives a safe and untroubled life.

"Qingyang." Tang Yue looked at Lian Qingyang, feeling that letting Meng Yanzhi off the hook was too easy on him.

"Sister Xiao Yue, I’m more than happy, as long as you’re alright," Lian Qingyang grinned.
