Early Sunday morning, Ye Linchen called Gu Jingran and invited him to have dinner at "Weimeiju" next to the dormitory area.
This was recommended by both Feng Linlin and Lin Xiaojuan.
It is said to be the most cost-effective and affordable restaurant in the steel mill area.
People usually like to go to this restaurant when they eat out.
Around 5 p.m., Ye Linchen quickly washed up and changed into her mid-length fuchsia coat.
The garment is a bit long, making it inconvenient to wear to school, but it's suitable for gatherings with friends.
Upon entering the "Weimeiju" restaurant, Ye Linchen spotted Meng Xueyun and Meng Zihan sitting by the window, with a mother and daughter at the same table.
Liu Hongfang and her daughter Wang Xiaoyan.
The four of them ordered a table full of dishes and were enjoying their meal immensely.
Ye Linchen had no good feelings towards Liu Hongfang and her daughter.
Liu Hongfang was Meng Xueyun's friend and the tutor she introduced to Meng Xueyun.
Because of Meng Xueyun, the mother and daughter always looked down on her in her previous life, and Wang Xiaoyan bullied her a lot.
Upon seeing these four people, Ye Linchen immediately lost his appetite, turned around, and wanted to leave, waiting for Gu Jingran to arrive so he could go to another restaurant.
The waiter, however, came forward and greeted her warmly.
"Miss, how many people are in your party?"
Meng Zihan was sitting facing the door and saw Ye Linchen.
"Auntie, it's my cousin."
Meng Xueyun turned around upon hearing the sound and saw Ye Linchen wearing a bright coat, which immediately made her furious.
How much money would that cost?!
If Ye Linchen used this money to supplement the family income, would she and Meng Zihan have to sneak out to eat something special?
Wang Xiaoyan looked Ye Linchen up and down, a hint of amazement flashing in her eyes.
“Your cousin Ye Linchen? She doesn’t look like a country bumpkin.” The more she looked at the coat, the more she liked it. She said to Meng Zihan, “Let’s invite her over for dinner and ask her where she bought the coat.”
How could Meng Zihan possibly be willing to eat at the same table as Ye Linchen?
Her face darkened, and she lowered her voice, saying, "What's the use of being pretty? All show and no substance! She's the worst kind of person..."
Blah blah blah, portraying Ye Linchen as a selfish and ungrateful wretch who seduces men everywhere and buys them things.
She added at the end, "Look, my aunt is almost driven crazy by her. She sees us but pretends not to see us..."
Wang Xiaoyan couldn't stand this kind of thing the most, and immediately wanted to "get justice" for the Meng family aunt and niece.
She jumped to her feet and shouted at Ye Linchen, "Ye Linchen, come here right now!"
Meng Zihan originally only wanted to talk badly about Ye Linchen behind his back and ruin his reputation, but she didn't expect Wang Xiaoyan to be so impulsive and start attacking him directly.
She's a little intimidated by Ye Linchen now, after all, she's never won a direct confrontation with him.
"Never mind, let's eat properly and not let her spoil the mood." Meng Zihan quickly pulled Wang Xiaoyan away.
Meng Xueyun secretly gave Meng Zihan a wink, signaling her to mind her own business.
If she can't handle this brat, she'll let an outsider do it!
Liu Hongfang also looked at Ye Linchen with great interest, without saying a word.
Meng Xueyun and Liu Hongfang's silence gave Wang Xiaoyan tremendous encouragement.
She became even more enthusiastic and wouldn't listen to Meng Zihan's advice.
Meng Zihan received Meng Xueyun's signal and stopped blocking Wang Xiaoyan.
Wang Xiaoyan is very capable; she might actually be able to embarrass Ye Linchen!
"Ye Linchen, did you hear me?"
Wang Xiaoyan called out to Ye Linchen, but he ignored her. Feeling embarrassed, she called out again at the top of her lungs.
Ye Linchen, however, thought she was going crazy and just kept talking to the waiter.
Ignored, Wang Xiaoyan strode up to Ye Linchen and angrily shouted, "Ye Linchen, your mother is right there! Are you blind? You look respectable on the outside, but you're rotten inside!"
Ye Linchen sneered.
Just like in her previous life, she still bullied him at will!
Unfortunately, she is no longer that timid and cowardly pushover.
She glanced at Wang Xiaoyan and sneered, "Looking good on the outside is still better than being rotten inside and out!"
Wang Xiaoyan had many small pockmarks on her face, and she was called "Pockmarked Wang" since she was a child.
Upon hearing this, she automatically assumed that Lin Xiaochen was referring to her pockmarked face.
Her face immediately turned bright red, and the little spots became even more noticeable.
Thinking of what Meng Zihan had said, she retorted without hesitation, "What's the use of dressing well? Who knows how many men she's seduced to get that look!"
Ye Linchen glanced at Meng Zihan, who was hiding in the corner, and immediately understood everything.
Too lazy to waste words, she swung her arm and gave Wang Xiaoyan a resounding slap.
"What a foul mouth! You dare to spout nonsense and ruin my reputation! You're not leaving here until you explain yourself!"
Wang Xiaoyan was stunned when Ye Linchen dared to hit her.
She covered her burning face, staring at Ye Linchen, unable to come to her senses for a long time.
When Meng Zihan and Meng Xueyun saw that a fight had broken out, they quickly ran over with Liu Hongfang.
Liu Hongfang hugged Wang Xiaoyan with heartache and yelled at Ye Linchen, "Where did this shrew come from! I'm talking to you nicely, why are you hitting me!"
Meng Xueyun pointed at Ye Linchen and cursed, "You brat, you have no manners at all! How dare you hit someone! Apologize right now!"
"Of course I'm ill-mannered if I didn't have parents to teach me." Ye Linchen glanced at her coldly. "I hit a gossipy old woman who was spouting nonsense. If she dares to talk nonsense again, I'll hit her again!"
Meng Xueyun was so angry at her words about not having proper parenting that her head was spinning.
That brat is cursing her and Ye Zhenghua to die again!
"What's wrong with saying a few words to you?" Meng Xueyun's eyes were red. "Flies don't land on eggs without cracks. If you were innocent, would people say those things about you? It's all because you acted improperly!"
Seeing that Meng Xueyun was disregarding everything and only wanted to help outsiders smear her, Ye Linchen no longer held back and gave a cold smile.
"Yesterday you were crying and shouting that you had no money and your family was starving, so you came to my company and tried to steal my salary. How come you have money to eat out today? Did the man you were flirting with give you money?"
"You foul-mouthed brat, what nonsense are you spouting!"
Meng Xueyun screamed in anger and lunged at Ye Linchen to hit him.
Ye Linchen dodged it in a flash: "Flies don't land on eggs without cracks. The reason I'm suspicious of you is because of your improper behavior!"
"I'm going to report you to the factory and have the security department investigate whether you're having an affair and whether Meng Zihan is your illegitimate daughter!"
The restaurant was full of steel mill workers, and they had all heard about the Ye family's affairs. Hearing the argument, they all gathered around, discussing it animatedly, thinking that what Ye Linchen said might actually be true.
Someone nearby said to Meng Xueyun, "Like mother, like daughter! Your daughter must have done something like this yourself for her to follow your example!"
Another person guessed, "Maybe this girl isn't her biological daughter, but that guy surnamed Meng is!"
"Stop spouting nonsense!" Meng Xueyun was furious, then turned to Ye Linchen and yelled, "You brat, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
