As soon as the call was answered, Meng Xueyun heard Meng Zihan crying on the other end.
"Auntie, waaaaah... I was tricked by Liu Mingxuan! He's a bastard! He doesn't want me anymore!"
Meng Xueyun immediately screamed, her voice rising eight octaves.
"What? What did you say? Liu Mingxuan doesn't want you anymore? How dare he! Is he crazy! What exactly happened? Explain yourself!"
Sobbing, Meng Zihan recounted the events to Meng Xueyun in fits and starts.
She concealed the part about her conflict with Ye Linchen, only saying that Liu Mingxuan broke up with her over a trivial matter, leaving her alone in the hotel and ignoring her completely.
Meng Xueyun was furious and started cursing on the phone.
"That scumbag Liu Mingxuan is blind! How dare he treat you like this! You wait, when I see him, I'll make him pay!"
"Auntie, now is not the time to talk about this. Liu Mingxuan ran away without paying for the accommodation. I have no money on me, and the hotel wants to detain me and won't let me leave. Please think of something!"
Knowing the urgency of the situation, Meng Xueyun quickly reassured her, "Don't worry, I'll go to the office to see the director and see if I can get an advance on my salary. Wait for me, it'll be quick."
Meng Zihan tearfully agreed and hung up the phone.
Not long after, Meng Xueyun called again: "Zihan, I've already spoken to the director, and he agreed to advance our salaries for next month. I've already transferred all the money to your bank card. Go check it out."
This is great, it's a lifesaver!
Meng Zihan quickly hung up the phone, left her luggage at the front desk, ran to the bank next to the hotel, withdrew the remittance, and paid the room fee.
The receptionist was aware of her situation and kindly offered her advice.
"Madam, if this kind of man is no good, you should get rid of him as soon as possible. There's no need to be sad over him."
Meng Zihan was already furious, and hearing this made her even angrier, so she immediately retorted.
"None of your business! If you say another word, I'll file a complaint against you!"
The receptionist immediately shut her mouth and stopped talking.
Meng Zihan finally vented her anger, and left the hotel with her head held high and swagger. She hailed a taxi and headed straight for the airport.
They were on the same flight, and she refused to believe that Liu Mingxuan could escape!
When she sees him, she'll make a scene, or she'll change her name to Meng!
Unexpectedly, when she went to the airport counter to exchange her ID card for a plane ticket, she was told that her ticket had already been refunded.
"Ma'am, your ticket has been cancelled. If you want to return to Jiangcheng, you will have to buy a new ticket," an airport staff member told her.
What?
Have you already refunded your plane tickets?
Liu Mingxuan, you're such a ruthless man!
This leaves absolutely no room for compromise!
But it's no use saying anything now; I can only buy a new plane ticket to get back to Jiangcheng.
Meng Zihan searched through all her pockets, but all the money in her pockets wasn't enough to buy a plane ticket back to Jiangcheng.
She stood in the airport terminal, looking around blankly, feeling an unprecedented sense of helplessness and despair.
what to do?
Are we really going to be trapped here?
Meng Zihan was flustered and confused, not knowing what to do, so she could only call Meng Xueyun again to ask for advice.
"Auntie, what... what am I going to do? Liu Mingxuan cancelled my plane ticket too, I don't have money to buy a new one, and I can't come back!"
She was crying uncontrollably on the phone, and Meng Xueyun was extremely anxious.
She used all her savings to support Meng Zihan's relationship, and even took an advance on her salary, so she had no extra money left.
After thinking for a long time, she still couldn't come up with a good idea, and could only say helplessly, "How about we take the train? Train tickets are cheaper."
Before their trip, she and Meng Zihan researched the transportation options to Laihai City.
Taking the train to Haicheng is much cheaper than flying, but it takes too long and there's no direct train.
Since Liu Mingxuan was paying for it, the two of them didn't feel bad about the cost and insisted on taking the plane.
Meng Zihan is now unwilling to take the train, which involves taking a ship, then a car, and finally a train.
The plane is so fast, I can sleep and I'll be in Jiangcheng.
But now the situation is beyond our control, so we have no choice but to settle for second best.
Meng Zihan hung up the phone, dragged her heavy suitcase, and left the airport.
She hailed a taxi and rushed to the long-distance bus station. After a two-hour bus ride, she arrived at Nangang Wharf.
From here, we took a boat to the train station.
When she finally arrived at the ticket window, she was told that there were only a few hard-seat tickets left for the train to Jiangcheng.
He had to sit for three days and three nights straight, without being able to lie down even once.
Moreover, the carriages were crowded and the environment was extremely poor.
Meng Zihan really didn't want to suffer like this.
"Are you buying or not? If not, move aside, the people behind you still need to buy." The ticket seller was getting impatient.
Meng Zihan touched her wallet; she only had a little over a hundred yuan there, not even enough to buy a sleeper berth.
With a long face, Meng Zihan bought a hard-seat ticket to Jiangcheng.
After buying the ticket, she only had a few dollars left.
It's not much better than being penniless and destitute.
The train was departing in the evening. Meng Zihan calculated the money she had left and bought five loaves of bread at a small shop in the train station, putting them in a thin plastic bag.
For three days on the road, she could only eat these few pieces of bread.
We need to eat sparingly so we can make it to Jiangcheng.
Afraid of crushing the bread, she didn't put it in her bag, but carried it in her hand instead.
After finally making it to the ticket check in the waiting room, Meng Zihan quickly stood up and moved forward with the flow of people.
Suddenly, a burly man squeezed in from behind and slammed into Meng Zihan.
"Ouch!"
Meng Zihan exclaimed in surprise, and the plastic bag in her hand slipped and fell to the ground.
Before she could bend down to pick it up, the crowd behind her surged forward, and no one noticed the pitiful plastic bag on the ground.
"Oh no! My bread!"
Meng Zihan watched helplessly as feet stepped on the bread, turning the originally fluffy and soft bread into a mushy mess in an instant.
The white cream and yellow bread crusts were mixed together, sticky and smeared on the ground, which looked disgusting.
She was stunned. Unable to hold back her grievances any longer, she burst into tears.
"Waaaaah... my bread... I have no money left... Waaaaah..."
It's like God is against her; one bad thing after another happens, it's like even drinking cold water can cause problems!
People around looked over curiously, but they were all just there to watch the spectacle. No one went up to comfort her, and no one offered to help her pick up the trampled bread.
"Oh, how pitiful."
"When you're out and about, everyone has their bad days."
"Never mind, let's hurry up and go, so we don't miss the bus."
Hearing this, Meng Zihan felt even more aggrieved, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
With the train about to depart, she ignored the trampled bread, tears welling in her eyes, and dragged her suitcase, awkwardly squeezing onto the train.
