No matter how the two tried to persuade her, Meng Zihan remained determined to marry Liu Mingxuan.
She cried her eyes out, shaking her head repeatedly.
"Aunt Xu, Aunt, I have no choice. My reputation is ruined. Everyone knows I'm going to marry Liu Mingxuan. Everything that should and shouldn't have happened has happened. If I don't marry him, how can I hold my head up in public? What will people say about me?"
Xu Yuru said with exasperation, "Why do you care what others say? Living your own life is the most important thing. Besides, this kind of thing only goes on for a short while. Soon everyone will forget about it. It's not worth risking your whole life for a little bit of fame."
Meng Zihan continued to shake her head desperately: "Aunt Xu, I understand what you're saying, but I can't do it. I've made up my mind. Even if it's a pit of fire, I'll accept it."
What she didn't say was that she believed she would never find someone with better conditions than Liu Mingxuan.
He's a graduate student; he'll definitely become a factory manager someday. She can't miss this opportunity.
Marrying Liu Mingxuan was the only way for her to surpass Ye Linchen.
Once she becomes the factory director's wife, she will be able to hold her head high and make Ye Linchen envious and jealous of her, and she will be able to slap Ye Zhenghua in the face!
Seeing Meng Zihan's insistence, Xu Yuru knew that it would be a waste of effort to persuade her further, so she could only pick up the phone on the table and dial the office of the machine repair workshop.
"Hello, is this the machine repair workshop? This is Xu Yuru from the union. Please have Liu Mingxuan answer the phone."
There was a lot of noise on the other end of the phone, and it took a while before someone answered.
"Officer Xu, Liu Mingxuan is busy right now and can't get away!"
Xu Yuru frowned and said patiently, "Tell him that I have an urgent matter and I need him to answer the phone. It's about Meng Zihan."
“Meng Zihan? Okay, I’ll talk to him.”
There was another burst of noise on the other end of the phone, followed by someone saying, "Director Liu, hurry up, it's Officer Xu talking to you about Xiao Meng."
"She still has the nerve to go to the union!"
Liu Mingxuan's voice approached from afar, and he quickly answered the phone, "Hello, is this Officer Xu? What's up?"
"Xiao Liu, come to the union right away."
"Sorry, Officer Xu, I'm very busy here and don't have time to go over! If Meng Zihan comes to cause trouble, I'll make her return my money, and I have nothing else to say to her!"
After saying that, Liu Mingxuan hung up the phone before Xu Yuru could say anything more.
Xu Yuru pressed the speakerphone button, and Meng Xueyun and Meng Zihan could hear it clearly from the side.
Meng Xueyun was instantly enraged and could no longer contain herself. She stood up abruptly and roared, "Bastard! I'll go and kill him!"
As he spoke, he was about to rush out of the office to confront Liu Mingxuan.
Xu Yuru reacted quickly and grabbed her: "Don't be angry, calm down! Why did you run off like that!"
Meng Xueyun pointed at the phone, gritting her teeth, and said, "He bullied Xiaohan like this, how could I not be angry? I have to teach him a lesson!"
"Alright, alright, I'll call again, you wait."
Xu Yuru picked up the phone again and dialed the director of the machine repair workshop.
"Hello, is this Director Li? This is Xu Yuru from the labor union. There are some things here that require Liu Mingxuan's cooperation in the investigation. Have him come over immediately and tell him that I said so, and that he must cooperate with the labor union's work."
"Little Liu said he's busy..."
Xu Yuru interrupted him forcefully, "If I don't see Liu Mingxuan within ten minutes, I'll call the deputy factory director and the factory director until someone can get him to come!"
This threat was indeed very effective.
Not long after, there was a rapid knocking on the door.
Xu Yuru raised her voice and called out, "Please come in!"
The office door was pushed open, and Director Li stood in the doorway.
Behind him followed Liu Mingxuan, who looked impatient.
Liu Mingxuan was wearing a clean work uniform and a new pair of black-rimmed glasses, with faint bruises on his face.
Judging by his appearance alone, he seems like a promising young technician.
Upon seeing Liu Mingxuan, Meng Zihan instantly lost control of her emotions, abruptly stood up from her chair, and yelled at Liu Mingxuan.
"Liu Mingxuan! You heartless bastard! Are you even human?!"
When Director Li saw Meng Zihan's "beggar" appearance, he was startled and looked at Liu Mingxuan with disdain.
That kid is too ruthless! He took a perfectly good girl out and ruined her like this!
He turned to Xu Yuru and said with a smile, "Director Xu, I've brought the person to you. I'll be leaving now. I have a lot of things to do in the workshop!"
Xu Yuru quickly stopped him.
"Director Li, don't leave yet! Xiao Liu is a very busy man, and he's getting more and more arrogant. Even the union can't get him to cooperate anymore. I'm afraid that if you leave, he'll look down on the union even more and refuse to cooperate, and then we won't be able to do our work!"
Unexpectedly, Liu Mingxuan felt no shame at all. Instead, he raised his head and said confidently, "Officer Xu, don't misunderstand. I'm not looking down on the union. It's just that Meng Zihan and I have nothing to talk about. Coming here is a complete waste of time!"
When Meng Zihan heard him say this to his face, she was so angry that she trembled all over. Just as she was about to retort, Xu Yuru interrupted her first.
"There's nothing to say? Who was it that shamelessly pursued her, using sweet words to deceive her? Who was it that went on dates with her, being all lovey-dovey, and even swore they'd get married, tricking her into going on a trip?"
"It's one thing to have a minor disagreement while traveling, but you actually lied to a young girl, making her pay for your hotel and even canceling her plane ticket. What were you thinking? Are you even a man?"
She became increasingly angry as she spoke, and her voice grew louder and louder: "A young girl, out in a strange land, and you just abandoned her like that? Are you trying to kill her? If her aunt hadn't chipped in to buy her a train ticket, who knows where she would be now!"
"You go on a trip and pay for all the food, drinks, and entrance fees with a young girl's money. You're not fit to be a man!"
Liu Mingxuan was speechless after being questioned by Xu Yuru, and his face turned bright red.
But he remained stubborn and denied it outright.
"That's not true! Officer Xu, don't listen to Meng Zihan's nonsense! I have never pursued her, nor have I dated her. She's the one who's been pestering me!"
“I always wanted to refuse her, but I heard that she had been detained before. I was afraid of angering her, so I had no choice but to go out with her. We are just ordinary friends. Meng Zihan is overthinking things.”
After he said that, everyone in the office was shocked.
No one expected that Liu Mingxuan would be so shameless, completely distorting the truth and lying through his teeth!
Director Li frowned, feeling that Liu Mingxuan was truly despicable.
Liu Mingxuan, however, felt that this explanation was flawless. As long as he stubbornly denied it and shifted all the blame onto Meng Zihan, he could get away with it.
This left Meng Zihan speechless and unable to express her suffering!
