Feng Linlin felt that Ye Linchen's words made a lot of sense.
What a coincidence! Meng Zihan and the others all set off today and are going to the same place.
She didn't want her trip to be ruined right from the start by Meng Zihan.
She looked away, pretending not to have seen it.
Lin Xiaojuan, however, was someone who loved watching the drama unfold. She leaned closer, lowered her voice, and asked mysteriously, "Hey, do you think Gu Yifei knows about Meng Zihan's relationship?"
She clicked her tongue, looking on with anticipation.
"If Gu Yifei knew, he would be heartbroken."
Gu Yifei and Meng Zihan have been classmates since childhood.
The two were childhood sweethearts and had a special relationship, which was known to almost everyone in their high school class.
Although their current circumstances are quite different, Gu Yifei might just be deeply in love with Meng Zihan, and his feelings will last until death!
Otherwise, he wouldn't have gone to cause trouble for Ye Linchen because of Meng Zihan when he ran into Gu Yifei at the bookstore last time.
Feng Linlin pursed her lips and said, "I don't know if Gu Yifei knows. But my mom met Gu Yifei's mom before, and she said that Gu Yifei and his senior classmates in the same major have been busy participating in competitions. Before the final exams, he didn't come home much. As soon as the final exams were over, he flew directly to Beijing for training."
She lowered her voice and continued, "The news about Meng Zihan is all over the factory right now, and Gu Yifei's mother must know about it. I think it's something Meng Zihan and Meng Xueyun deliberately flaunted and publicized, wanting everyone to know that Meng Zihan is dating, so they can act as witnesses and prevent the guy from denying it later."
"It seems she has come to terms with reality and realized that this director is better than Gu Yifei, so she has given up on Gu Yifei."
“We can’t give up either. Gu Yifei’s mother’s words clearly show her disapproval of Meng Zihan and she absolutely does not approve of their relationship. She’s quite clever in this respect,” Feng Linlin said with certainty.
"However, not many people are optimistic about her relationship with the director. Everyone thinks Meng Zihan's future is not very promising, and many people are waiting to see how the two will end up. Will they really get married, or break up?"
"Marriage is definitely out of the question." Lin Xiaojuan shook her head and analyzed, "That director is a graduate student and has good qualifications in all aspects. If he really wanted to live a peaceful life, he would have gotten married long ago. The fact that he hasn't gotten married yet means there must be something wrong."
"He must be very smart to have earned a master's degree. Meng Zihan is just starting out in society and has little experience in relationships. How can she possibly compete with him? Even if they end up getting married, Meng Zihan will be the one who suffers. She might be completely exploited and then kicked to the curb. That would be truly pitiful."
After saying that, she sighed, her expression complicated. "Although I have hated Meng Zihan for so many years, it still hurts to see her being deceived like this."
Feng Linlin showed no sympathy for Meng Zihan. She shrugged and said coolly, "My mom had the same idea as you before, so she went to persuade Aunt Meng, but she didn't appreciate it at all. My mom couldn't do anything. She couldn't just tie Meng Zihan down and not let her date, could she?"
“Meng Zihan is no pushover either, otherwise she wouldn’t have been able to keep Gu Yifei so devoted to her for so many years.”
Shen Yanlin scoffed, "According to you, once the two get married, this director won't harm other girls anymore. Meng Zihan can be considered to have rid the people of a scourge; it's rare for him to do a good deed."
"I think so too. Let these two be locked together, never to be separated again," Feng Linlin said with a smile.
While Feng Linlin and Lin Xiaojuan were chatting animatedly, Ye Linchen felt increasingly uneasy as he listened.
She quickly interrupted their exclamations and asked, "Linlin, Xiaojuan, you just said that Meng Zihan's boyfriend is a graduate student or the director of the steel mill?"
Feng Linlin and Lin Xiaojuan exchanged a glance, nodded in unison, and said in unison, "Yes, what's wrong?"
A thought flashed through Ye Linchen's mind, and his heart began to beat faster.
She pressed further, "Was that person tall and thin, and wearing glasses?"
The two nodded again.
Shen Yanlin asked, "What's wrong?"
Ye Linchen waved to him, his expression changing slightly. He didn't hide anything and said directly, "My roommate Wang Lina, you've all met her. She said that recently a man has been pursuing her. He's also the director of the steel mill and a graduate student. The description is very similar to Meng Zihan... who...
Lin Xiaojuan reacted quickly and added the director's name: "Liu Mingxuan?"
"Yes, it's him, Liu Mingxuan," Ye Linchen said confidently. "The description matches Liu Mingxuan exactly?"
Feng Linlin was stunned and it took her a long time to come to her senses.
She exclaimed, "No way? If Liu Mingxuan is really pursuing Wang Lina, that's just too dramatic!"
Shen Yanlin thought for a moment and asked Feng Linlin, "Is there someone else in the factory whose qualifications are similar to Liu Mingxuan's?"
After he said that, Feng Linlin was no longer sure.
The steel plant has more than 30,000 employees and more than a dozen workshops. The director and deputy director together must number thirty or forty people.
It's not impossible for two directors to have similar qualifications.
She bit her lip and said, "I can't guarantee that. My mom definitely knows. Maybe I should call and ask her later?"
Ye Linchen shook his head, stopping him, "No need, no need, I'll just ask Wang Lina directly. I hope I'm wrong."
Judging from Wang Lina's expression, she seems to have a good impression of that suitor. If it really is Liu Mingxuan, she will definitely be heartbroken.
Hopefully, Wang Lina's suitor will be another young and promising director.
As they talked, they arrived at the security checkpoint.
Everyone's luggage was simple, and they quickly passed through security.
After finding the boarding gate, Ye Linchen and the other three found a seat and began discussing making phone calls.
Shen Yanlin said, "I'll stay and watch the luggage. You all go ahead."
The three of them didn't refuse and hurriedly went to find a public phone.
Before leaving, Wang Lina gave Ye Linchen her home phone number, saying that he could contact her if anything happened.
Ye Linchen saved the number in his pager and then dialed it.
The phone rang a few times before being answered.
"Hello, who are you looking for?" A middle-aged woman's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Hello, Auntie, I'm Wang Lina's classmate. My name is Ye Linchen. Is Lina here?" Ye Linchen asked politely.
"Oh, Lina's home. Wait a moment, I'll call her." The aunt's voice immediately became warmer.
Not long after, Wang Lina's voice came from the other end of the phone, with a thick nasal tone, sounding like she had just woken up.
"Lina, it's me, Ye Linchen," Ye Linchen said quickly.
"Huh? Xiao Chen? Didn't you say you were going to Haicheng today? Why are you calling me now?" Wang Lina asked in surprise.
Ye Linchen didn't beat around the bush and asked directly, "Lina, is the guy who's been pursuing you lately named Liu Mingxuan?"
