While eating sunflower seeds, Feng Linlin said, "That's right. Now the situation is reversed. Meng Zihan wants to break up, but Liu Mingxuan doesn't want to. He keeps pestering Meng Zihan, begging her not to leave him."
"Liu Mingxuan is unwilling? I didn't expect that."
Ye Linchen thought Liu Mingxuan would be happy to be single again, so he could once again roam among women.
Feng Linlin snorted coldly.
"Liu Mingxuan is almost thirty, just an ordinary worker with no future prospects. He also has a bad reputation. Who would want to date him after he leaves Meng Zihan?"
"I also heard that although Meng Zihan had argued with him before, she managed the housework very well, taking care of all the cooking and washing. Liu Mingxuan was treated like a king at home, living a comfortable and carefree life."
“Meng Zihan broke up with him, where can he find a life like this?”
"He couldn't bear to let Meng Zihan serve him."
Feng Linlin nodded and said, "Pretty much, anyway, I just can't live without Meng Zihan."
"So you started arguing again?"
"That's right. Now they not only argue at home, but they also go to the union every day to argue, and they ask my mom to mediate. Can you believe how annoying my mom is? She thought that now that the two of them are together, Liu Mingxuan is taken and she won't have to worry about Liu Mingxuan's mess anymore. Who knew she was so happy too soon? Now she has to deal with their mess every day."
Upon hearing this, Ye Linchen couldn't help but shed a tear of sympathy for Xu Yuru.
This is so melodramatic.
“The two of them are in a very bad state right now. Liu Mingxuan is having a lot of trouble with both his work and love life. He has been hit hard and his temples have turned white. When I saw him the other day, he was completely different from when he was in Haicheng. He looked like he had aged ten years.”
"Meng Zihan is the same; she never dresses up or grooms herself, all she thinks about is breaking up, she's always crying and whining like a wronged woman."
Ye Linchen felt extremely pleased to hear this.
This is what they mean by "evil people will be punished by evil people." The current outcome is their own fault, and they have no one to blame but themselves!
She had another question.
"They didn't get a marriage certificate, they're just living together. If Meng Zihan wants to break up, she can just move out, right? What's the point of making a fuss if they're always together?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Linlin smiled mysteriously.
"Because Meng Zihan has other ideas!"
"Compensation for lost youth?" Ye Linchen guessed, as if struck by a sudden inspiration.
"That's right! Meng Zihan feels that she's so young, and she followed Liu Mingxuan without knowing anything about him. She was tricked into going to Haicheng by him, and then the whole factory knew about it, ruining her reputation. It's such a loss! She wants Liu Mingxuan to compensate her for her losses!"
Ye Linchen wasn't surprised.
Meng Zihan is always good at scheming, but she never manages to outmaneuver others, and she's always the one who gets hurt.
I wonder if I'll be able to get what I want this time.
How much does she want?
"Two thousand yuan!" Feng Linlin held up two fingers and shook them. "She's said that if anyone dares not to pay, she'll sue Liu Mingxuan for rape!"
"Report rape?" Ye Linchen repeated, not optimistic. "They've been living together for so long, do you think the police station will accept the case?"
Feng Linlin agreed, "Exactly! If we had made a scene at the union last time and filed a complaint, maybe we could have scared Liu Mingxuan. But now, they're openly living together, and she's even threatening rape, but the police station isn't paying any attention! Liu Mingxuan isn't scared at all; he's still very defiant!"
"Liu Mingxuan said he lost his job and his salary was reduced because of Meng Zihan! He was already being lenient by not asking Meng Zihan for compensation, and Meng Zihan still had the nerve to ask him for money! He won't give her a single penny, and Meng Zihan can sue him wherever she wants."
Ye Linchen imagined the scene of the two arguing and for some reason felt like laughing.
"Are they just stuck like this?"
Feng Linlin shrugged: "That's right, a lot of people in the factory are betting on who can outlast whom!"
In her previous life, Meng Zihan was full of ambition, successfully entered university, and married the man she loved. Her life could be described as blissful and happy.
The same person, yet in this life, has made a complete mess of things, becoming a laughingstock and fodder for gossip.
Therefore, life's encounters are truly unpredictable.
Things change, and no one knows what will happen next.
Seeing Ye Linchen lost in thought while holding the milk cup, Feng Linlin assumed that Ye Linchen didn't want to listen to the "farce" between Meng Zihan and Liu Mingxuan.
After all, it's the same old trivial stuff over and over again, and anyone would get tired of hearing it.
Feng Linlin grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds and started cracking them open, casually asking, "By the way, how's your upbringing going?"
Ye Linchen snapped out of his reverie and smiled, saying, "Not bad, the student has made great progress. I was preparing lessons when you arrived, planning to give her a few questions tomorrow to reinforce what she's been learning recently."
"Oh? What kind of questions have you prepared? Let me see!"
Feng Linlin's curiosity was piqued. She put down the melon seeds in her hand and peered curiously at Ye Linchen's desk.
"Here they are." Ye Linchen stood up and handed the prepared practice questions to Feng Linlin. "Take a look at them for me, give me some feedback, and see if there's anything that needs improvement."
Feng Linlin took the practice questions and began to study them carefully.
Her physics foundation was also relatively weak back then, and there were many knowledge points that she just couldn't understand. Therefore, offering opinions from her perspective would be more constructive.
"Hmm... I think the conditions given for this question are a bit too many. We could reduce them a bit and let the students think for themselves. Also, I think this question could be phrased differently; that would better test the students' comprehension skills..."
As Feng Linlin looked at the questions, she pointed to them and discussed them with Ye Linchen.
Ye Linchen listened attentively to Feng Linlin's advice, nodding occasionally, feeling that what she said made a lot of sense.
The two were having a lively discussion and, without realizing it, had forgotten about Meng Zihan and Liu Mingxuan.
The next evening, after Ye Linchen finished tutoring Zhao Yutong, he chatted with Zhao's mother for a while about their study plans during the Spring Festival. When he came out, it was already completely dark, and he missed the last bus to the apartment.
She could only take a bus to the university gate and then walk a distance back.
As soon as he got off the car, a cold wind hit him in the face, and Ye Linchen couldn't help but shrink his neck and quicken his pace.
Under the dim streetlights, there were few pedestrians, and she was the only one walking hurriedly.
Suddenly, a hand grabbed her arm.
Ye Linchen was startled and instinctively swung his other hand to strike at the other hand.
"Ah!" the man screamed, then cried out, "Cousin, don't hit me, it's me!"
Under the dim light of the streetlamp, Ye Linchen looked closely and realized that the person who had grabbed her was none other than Meng Zihan!
Meng Zihan had disheveled hair, a pale face, and looked extremely haggard.
"Meng Zihan?" Ye Linchen shoved her away and asked irritably, "What are you doing? You scared me to death!"
