Rebirth in 1986: Unforgettable Regrets
Chapter 450: That Vixen
CHAPTER 450: CHAPTER 450: THAT VIXEN
"I..." Meng Jian was momentarily at a loss for ideas and said, "Shall we go see Yanzhi?"
"What’s there to see? He’s been arrested, even the Meng Family can’t do anything, it’s useless for us to go." Zhang Hua said irritably, her eyes flicking around, and then she suggested, "Or, shall we go see the Liu Family?"
"What’s there to see with the Liu Family." Meng Jian sneered. Since the Meng Family can’t save Meng Yanzhi, it would be useless for them to go. As for the Liu Family that Zhang Hua mentioned, Meng Jian had no interest in visiting them.
"The daughter of the Liu Family, isn’t she quite pretty?" said Zhang Hua, eyeing Liu Ying, who was rumored to be a doctor.
"The Liu Family has fallen on hard times, now devoid of their former prestige," Meng Jian had no desire to go.
Zhang Hua gave him a sidelong glance and said, "Didn’t your eldest son just get a divorce? Since Liu Ying is pretty, let’s just go take a look."
Half an hour later, at the Liu Family.
The current Liu Family had already changed completely, becoming someone else’s home. Upon seeing this, Meng Jian became displeased and complained, "It was your idea to come here to see, what’s there to see?"
"Who knew they would be so miserable, not even owning their old house anymore," Zhang Hua said irritably. Her eyes were shifting around as she added, "Since they are not here, what do you think, should we head back to Hu Province, or what?"
"No going back," said Meng Jian. "If we return to Hu Province now, what if Uncle Meng doesn’t care about my matters in the future? I think it’s better to head back first. Although Yanzhi can’t be saved, Uncle Meng is still there."
"Meng Jin is also there," said Zhang Hua, feeling somewhat apprehensive. Meng Jin’s gaze seemed like he had everything under control, as if nothing could be hidden from him.
"Uncle?" Liu Ying’s eyes instantly reddened when she saw Meng Jian and Zhang Hua; she had been living alone in that place. Ever since Bai Qing took revenge on her, Liu Ying’s days had been tough. Now, Liu Ying was skinnier than before, and even her skin had darkened a lot.
"Are you Liu Ying?" Zhang Hua blocked Liu Ying’s path, taking a long moment to recognize her.
Liu Ying was sobbing.
Zhang Hua and Meng Jian scrutinized her. The current Liu Ying was only slightly prettier than an average girl, no longer possessing her former exalted and proud demeanor.
"Aunt, it’s me," Liu Ying had also come to visit her old home today because she was upset, and unexpectedly ran into Meng Jian and Zhang Hua.
With his slicked-back hair and pot belly, Meng Jian, and the sharp-featured and calculating Zhang Hua would have been dismissed by Liu Ying in the past, but now, they seemed like saviors to her.
"Aunt, I heard you have quite a few job opportunities in Hu Province. Aunt, could you help me? I don’t have a stable job now," Liu Ying looked pitifully at Zhang Hua.
In Jing City, she thought of seeking help from Mr. Meng, but he didn’t bother with her. No, to be precise, he could only offer her mere subsistence, without any decent job options.
No, it should be said that Liu Ying did not like the job Mr. Meng introduced to her, working at a private clinic doing miscellaneous tasks.
Liu Ying considered herself a doctor, no matter what, she wouldn’t take a job as a menial assistant, and so, that opportunity fell through.
Meng Yanzhi also did not take care of her situation. Liu Ying was truly desperate. After causing trouble previously, she even got into a fight with another doctor. Liu Ying felt that others despised her due to her father’s downfall, so the fight was particularly fierce.
Liu Ying was persuaded to leave, and her life became even more miserable after leaving the medical office.
And now, seeing Meng Jian and Zhang Hua, it was as if she had seen saviors.
"Sure, my son also works in a hospital, it’s too easy to arrange a job for you," Zhang Hua immediately agreed, showing warmth and concern for Liu Ying.
Lest the night bring more dreams, Zhang Hua promptly arranged for Liu Ying to go to Hu Province and also reminded her son to pick up Liu Ying.
Gratefully shedding tears, Liu Ying spoke about Meng Yanzhi’s situation during dinner.
Her eyes shifting swiftly, Liu Ying immediately said, "Aunt, actually, I know how Yanzhi got into trouble."
"How did he get into trouble?" Zhang Hua perked up with interest at once.
Liu Ying said delicately, "Aunt, I’m just piecing things together from guesses, if I’m wrong, please don’t blame me."
"Not at all, not at all," Zhang Hua urged her.
Liu Ying continued, "Aunt, it’s just that Yanzhi fancied a girl and wanted to marry her."
"That’s a good thing," Zhang Hua said as such, viewing it as a stroke of extraordinary luck to be fancied by her son Yanzhi.
"You think so too, Aunt?" Liu Ying said with a bitter smile, adding, "I also think it’s a great thing, to marry Yanzhi, but the girl didn’t appreciate it, as she has a fiancé."
"That can’t be better than our Yanzhi," Zhang Hua immediately felt that the girl was ungrateful, completely forgetting that Meng Yanzhi was still in prison.
"Exactly," Liu Ying continued, "This time, it seems it was also because of that girl that Yanzhi got into trouble."
"I’m not very clear on the specifics."
"Right, it’s about the car accident case reversal; it was her classmate, I heard they get along quite well," Liu Ying added.
Hearing this, Zhang Hua gritted her teeth and said, "She’s truly a vixen, seduced my son, and even wants to sue him, now resulting in my son’s trouble!"
"Hmph, it takes two to tango, I really can’t let this go," Zhang Hua was extremely angry. Even Meng Jian, standing beside her, felt no sympathy for the girl Liu Ying spoke of.
"What’s that vixen’s name?" asked Zhang Hua.
"Tang Yue, also a student from Jinghua University," Liu Ying replied, subtly stoking Zhang Hua’s anger.
"Jinghua University student, so what?" Zhang Hua, very angry, discussed with Meng Jian how to clarify the events that had transpired.
Upon hearing this, Liu Ying anxiously said, "Grandpa Meng always doesn’t let me know, Aunt, if Grandpa Meng finds out..."
"Don’t worry, I won’t say it was you who told," Zhang Hua quickly reassured her. "Liu Ying, don’t worry, tomorrow morning you’ll head to Hu Province, your Grandpa Meng won’t be angry."
Then Liu Ying said, "Aunt, I just felt injustice for Yanzhi, that’s why I..." She hesitated to continue, but Zhang Hua was patting her hand comforting her, "Liu Ying, your aunt won’t betray you, I should be thanking you."
"Aunt, it’s what I should do." Liu Ying said, smilingly. Lowering her gaze, a cold glint flashed through her eyes, and even if she were to leave, she had to create some obstacles for Tang Yue.
