Ye Linchen's eyes widened in surprise after hearing Feng Linlin's gossip.
"You mean Meng Zihan is pregnant?"
"Yes! She works in the cafeteria now, and she can't stand the smell of fish at all; it makes her gag. Everyone in the cafeteria says she's pregnant! If we count the time, it's been almost a month since we came back from Haicheng. If she got pregnant in Haicheng, it's normal for her to be having symptoms now."
"What should we do now? What did Liu Mingxuan say?"
Feng Linlin pursed her lips, a gloating expression on her face.
"What else can we do? She had been making a fuss about moving back to the Ye family before, and Meng Xueyun agreed, but Ye Zhenghua firmly disagreed. Now that she's rumored to be pregnant, even Meng Xueyun is advising her to stop making a fuss, to live a good life, and not to hurt Liu Mingxuan's feelings."
"Meng Xueyun has compromised," Ye Linchen said with a smile.
Meng Xueyun had high expectations for Meng Zihan, hoping that she could marry a rich and powerful man.
Not only will Meng Zihan live a good life, but she herself can also benefit from it and enjoy happiness.
Liu Mingxuan's situation is really not good. The fact that she could accept this nephew-in-law despite her reluctance shows that she no longer has any hope for Meng Zihan.
"That's right. She also advised Meng Zihan, saying that although Liu Mingxuan is no longer the director, he still has a degree, and the two of them have feelings for each other. She suggested that they make a good relationship, win him over, and then persuade him to resign and find a job at a big company, where he can still make money. She also mentioned that Gu Yifei's cousin started his own business and is now a big boss, driving a car and very wealthy!"
When Ye Linchen heard Feng Linlin mention Gu Jingran, he couldn't help but laugh: "How do you even know such detailed information?"
Feng Linlin proudly raised her chin: "Of course! Because Meng Zihan caused trouble at the union again and asked my mom to stand up for her. My mom had no choice but to call Meng Xueyun over. Meng Xueyun advised her in front of my mom. My mom told me all those things!"
Ye Linchen suddenly realized: "No wonder she came to me a couple of days ago, asking me to identify Liu Mingxuan as the rapist! Turns out she had no other choice but to drag me down with her!"
"What!" Feng Linlin was shocked, forgetting to eat the sunflower seeds in her hand. "There's such a thing? What did she say?!"
Ye Linchen then told Feng Linlin everything about how Meng Zihan had come to her door that night and asked her to give false testimony.
Upon hearing this, Feng Linlin's face turned red with anger.
"How could she even think of that! It's disgusting! My family really shouldn't have interfered in her affairs! How dare she come to you and say such things?"
Ye Linchen smiled and said, "Don't worry, I definitely won't talk to her anymore. Don't be angry."
"I can't be bothered to get angry with her. Taking a stupid person like that seriously will only drive me crazy!" Feng Linlin seemed to have thought of something, her eyes darting around as she asked meaningfully, "By the way, has Gu Jingran been away on his business trip for a while? Why hasn't he come back yet, even though it's almost Chinese New Year?"
Ye Linchen tidied up the textbooks in front of him and casually replied, "He won't be spending the New Year in Jiangcheng. He finished his business a couple of days ago and has already returned to Beijing to spend the New Year with his parents. He'll come back after the New Year."
"Hey Xiao Chen, you know Brother Gu's whereabouts really well!" Feng Linlin winked and teased.
Ye Linchen wasn't annoyed and said frankly, "Of course, we talk on the phone from time to time."
"Tell me honestly, how far have things progressed between you two? Have you officially become a couple?"
Ye Linchen's gossip was much more interesting than Meng Zihan's, so Feng Linlin immediately threw down her melon seeds and grabbed Ye Linchen for questioning.
Ye Linchen blushed slightly and shook his head: "No."
But I felt a sweet warmth in my heart.
She has feelings for Gu Jingran, and believes that Gu Jingran feels the same way about her, but neither of them has yet made the relationship official.
"I haven't thought about that right now. I want to focus on my career first, and let the rest take its course."
"Career? What career?" Feng Linlin asked, looking puzzled.
Ye Linchen pointed to the textbook in front of him and said with a smile, "Look, this is my career! Zhao Yutong's mother said that if she does well on her exams when school starts, she'll give me a huge red envelope!"
"Is there any chance?" Feng Linlin asked curiously.
"There's hope!" Ye Linchen said confidently. "Zhao Yutong is actually quite smart and obedient. She was just too afraid of her parents before, which put too much pressure on her and caused her grades to drop. Now everything is back on track, and she's had a good talk with her mother, so she's let go of her mental burden."
"She is now studying diligently and assiduously, and with the extra help I've given her recently, she has made great progress! She will definitely be in the middle of the class in the opening exam."
She confidently boasted, "Before the first mock exam, I will help her review all the knowledge from the past three years, and then integrate it. I guarantee that she will be in the top 20 of the class in the first mock exam."
"Wow, that's amazing! But you're working so hard! You're already in college, and you're still studying high school textbooks every day!" Feng Linlin said with admiration.
Ye Linchen proudly tossed his head and said, "Let me tell you a secret, I've already earned two thousand yuan this month!"
"What? So many?" Feng Linlin's eyes widened instantly, and she was immediately tempted. "How about... I try finding a tutor too?"
Ye Linchen smiled and nodded: "Sure! If you can manage your studies, hiring a tutor would be a good idea! Your grades aren't any worse than mine!"
Feng Linlin thought for a moment, then shook her head in frustration.
"Forget it, I can barely keep up with my major courses on my own, how could I possibly have time for a part-time job! Sigh, it's true what they say, 'If you choose the right major, every year is like taking the college entrance exam!'"
As Feng Linlin spoke, she remembered the main purpose of her visit: "Oh, by the way, it must be so lonely for you to spend the New Year alone. Why don't you come to my house for New Year's Eve dinner tomorrow?"
Ye Linchen shook his head, politely declining Feng Linlin's offer: "No need, it's not convenient for me, an outsider, to be enjoying a family reunion. Besides, I have other plans for tomorrow."
"What arrangements? Why are you being so mysterious?" Feng Linlin asked curiously. "Brother Gu isn't in Jiangcheng, so who will you be spending the New Year with?"
"Well... that's a secret for now!" Ye Linchen said mysteriously.
Actually, she didn't have any special plans; she just didn't want to spoil the atmosphere of Feng Linlin's family reunion.
Moreover, if the Ye family and Meng Zihan find out that she has returned to the steel mill, they will definitely come looking for her again.
It's not appropriate to upset people during holidays and festivals.
Xu Yuru was on the verge of collapse from worrying about it.
Seeing that Ye Linchen wouldn't tell, Feng Linlin pretended to be angry and pouted: "Oh, Ye Linchen! You even have secrets from me! Humph! When you get that big red envelope, you have to treat me to dinner!"
"Definitely!" Ye Linchen said with a smile, "Even if I don't get it, I'll still treat you! I'll treat you to the most expensive food!"
