Just as Gu Yifei was hesitating, he suddenly remembered what his cousin Gu Jingran had told him before.
"Xiaofei, remember this: some people will never change. Don't easily believe other people's tears. Use your own eyes to see and your own brain to think. Don't be fooled by appearances!"
Gu Yifei suddenly woke up and looked at Meng Zihan, who was looking at him pitifully.
Had he almost been fooled by Meng Zihan's tears again?
He took a step back, trying to calm himself down, and asked Meng Zihan warily.
"How do you want me to help you?"
"I……"
Meng Zihan lowered her eyes shyly.
Sure enough, his trump card worked.
Gu Yifei was just too stupid; even after all that had been said, he still didn't know how to help her.
Of course, he should pay for her rent and be responsible for her future living expenses.
With her meager salary and bonuses, she only earned a little over a hundred yuan. After paying rent, she was left with just a few dozen yuan, which was barely enough to eat, let alone buy clothes and cosmetics.
She's not like Ye Linchen, a country bumpkin who just came from the countryside. How could she possibly live such a miserable life!
However, when it comes to matters involving money, Gu Yifei has to bring it up himself.
Meng Zihan had to decline, insisting that she was unwilling to spend his money.
Gu Yifei insisted on paying the money and declared that he would not consider him a friend if he did not accept the money.
Despite Meng Zihan's repeated refusals, she was moved and had no choice but to reluctantly agree.
He vowed that he would pay him back when he was financially well-off.
Now that he's asking so bluntly, how is Meng Zihan supposed to answer?
As Meng Zihan was pondering how to steer the conversation away, Gu Yifei said, "Do you want me to tell Ye Linchen that you shouldn't leave the Ye family?"
Meng Zihan was speechless.
How can someone with such a dull mind be so good at science?
Ye Linchen didn't take him seriously at all, so how could he possibly listen to him!
It seems I can't beat around the bush with this big, clumsy guy; I have to be direct.
Meng Zihan gritted her teeth and said, "I know my cousin very well. She's extremely narrow-minded. Now that she has a chance to get revenge on me, she definitely won't let it pass. If you go and talk to her, you'll only be making a fool of yourself."
Gu Yifei didn't reply, he just stared at her.
Meng Zihan stopped wasting time and got straight to the point: "If I move out, I'll have to rent a place, and I don't have any spare money. I simply can't afford it..."
Gu Yifei finally understood what she meant.
They're asking him for money.
He's a college student with no job, where would he get the money to give her?
The only option is to ask my parents and cousins.
He couldn't bring himself to say that.
Moreover, Ye Linchen is a student and can rent a place on his own, while Meng Zihan is working and has an income. How come they can't do the same?
Gu Yifei took two steps back and shook his head: "I'm sorry, I can't help you with this. I have other things to do, I have to go back."
Without waiting for her reply, he ran away without looking back.
Meng Zihan looked at Gu Yifei's flustered back, feeling both astonished and angry.
Before she could finish speaking, Gu Yifei just ran away, refusing to help her at all!
How could he be so heartless!
This is completely different from what I expected!
Meng Zihan was stunned, not knowing what to do about her future.
She felt completely lost.
If she were really kicked out of the Ye family, how would she survive on her meager salary?
The next day, Meng Zihan went to work as if nothing had happened.
When I'm busy, it's alright, but when I take a lunch break and have some free time, that feeling of being lost and adrift comes over me again, and tears well up in my eyes.
Afraid of being seen, she secretly hid in a corner of the cafeteria and wiped away her tears.
How did things get to this point?!
She used to be so proud and well-liked, how come she's now like a rat in the street, avoided by everyone?
While she was grieving, a man's hand suddenly appeared in front of her.
Her fingers were fair and slender, with well-proportioned joints, and she was holding a white tissue in her fingertips.
"Here, wipe your tears."
A gentle, deep male voice was in my ear.
Meng Zihan looked up in surprise and realized that she recognized the man who handed her the tissue.
It was Liu Mingxuan, the deputy director of the machine repair workshop.
Although he is the director, Liu Mingxuan is much younger than Ye Zhenghua.
He looked to be around 26 or 27 years old, tall and slender, with a refined and gentle appearance, and wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses.
She always dresses neatly and cleanly, and exudes a scholarly air in her every move.
Many young girls in the factory secretly gossiped about him, saying he looked like a Hong Kong or Taiwanese star, the kind of refined scoundrel that was very popular.
Meng Zihan had met him a few times and knew that he was quite eloquent and always had a smile on his face.
"Xiao Meng, why are you hiding here crying all by yourself? Did something happen to you? Why don't you tell us?"
Liu Mingxuan stared intently at her, his eyes filled with deep pity.
Meng Zihan wasn't foolish enough to talk about her family to a stranger.
If Ye Zhenghua finds out, he'll definitely scold her for being brainless.
Meng Zihan hurriedly took the tissue and wiped away her tears.
"It's nothing, I just got some sand in my eye."
Liu Mingxuan raised an eyebrow and asked jokingly, "Got some sand in your eye? Want me to blow it out for you?"
Meng Zihan was startled and quickly shook her head: "No need, no need, it's already fine."
Liu Mingxuan wasn't annoyed. He sat down opposite her and carefully examined her.
"Xiao Meng, you don't look well. You need to take care of yourself and get some rest, or you'll ruin your health."
Meng Zihan felt a stirring in her heart when she saw Liu Mingxuan's burning gaze.
