Lin Feiran woke up on the sofa the next day.
When she woke up, her head was aching, her whole body was cold, and her limbs were stiff.
Last night, she sat motionless on the sofa for most of the night, and she didn't know when she fell asleep.
Lin Feiran stood up with difficulty. Perhaps it was because she had been sitting in the same position for too long and had not had enough rest. When she stood up, she felt a black screen in front of her eyes and felt dizzy.
She held on to the sofa and finally managed to steady herself. After a while, she walked towards the bathroom.
After washing her face hastily and eating a few bites of bread for breakfast, Lin Feiran prepared to go out.
She knew that she looked terrible now, but she couldn't allow herself to stay in this state forever.
If she were asked to create or design something now, she wouldn't be able to draw a single stroke. However, today, the sixth batch of new products from the new brand "Li Fei" arrived, and she planned to go to the warehouse to help with some manual labor. Anyway, she couldn't let herself be idle.
After a busy day, Lin Feiran was exhausted.
But she didn't feel fulfilled, nor did she feel much better. Instead, she was exhausted both physically and mentally.
In the evening, when Lin Feiran was driving home, she received a call from Chu Yu.
His voice sounded just as tired.
"I had a talk with the Meng family today."
Lin Feiran heard his tone and felt that the result would not be good, but she still asked, "How did the talk go?"
Chu Yu sighed, "Uncle Meng won't budge at all. He's determined not to accept any other solution except for me marrying Yisi."
Lin Feiran had expected this.
She then asked, "What about Meng Yisi's attitude?"
Chu Yu frowned and said, "Yisi wasn't here. Uncle Meng said she was pregnant and couldn't stand the anger, so he didn't let her come. I guess she also wanted me to give the child a complete family."
Lin Feiran couldn't help but secretly admire Meng Yisi.
From the beginning to the end, she never took up arms and started a big fuss. Except for the time when she was suspected and had a perfect outburst, she had always been an aggrieved and forbearing victim in Chu Yu's eyes.
The aggressive act of forcing Chu Yu to marry her was all done by the bad guy Meng's father.
This way, her relationship with Chu Yu would not become strained, and Chu Yu would still take into account the years of friendship between them and would not do anything extreme.
Lin Feiran was silent for a moment and asked, "What's next?"
Chu Yu only felt a throbbing pain in his temples: "If the first talk doesn't work, we'll talk again. I will continue to think of ways, and there will always be a breakthrough."
Lin Feiran nodded.
She didn't feel optimistic at all, but there was really nothing else she could do now.
Chu Yu had just hung up the phone when another call came in from an unfamiliar number.
Lin Feiran picked up the phone, and the voice coming from the other end was actually Meng's father's voice.
Father Meng's attitude was no longer as disdainful as when he saw her before. His tone was heavy, as if he had something to say to her.
"Ms. Lin, do you have time now? Can you come to Yuepin Coffee Shop? I have something I want to talk to you about."
Lin Feiran hesitated for a moment, then turned the car around and followed the navigation to Yuepin Coffee Shop.
Father Meng was already waiting for her there.
"Ms. Lin, please take a seat."
Father Meng had a serious expression on his face. As soon as Lin Feiran sat down, he got straight to the point and said, "Miss Lin, I want to talk to you about something related to Chu Yu."
Lin Feiran said calmly: "You say."
Father Meng took a deep breath. "I talked with Chu Yu for three or four hours today, but nothing came of it. My only request was that he marry Yisi, but he wouldn't agree to it. Neither of us would back down, so we're at a complete standstill. I predict this impasse will only continue, but it's not a good idea."
Lin Feiran's tone was emotionless: "So you mean..."
Father Meng's expression became more sincere as he said, "I hope Miss Lin will leave Chu Yu on her own. He is now determined not to marry Yi Si because of you. If you leave, he won't be so stubborn."
Before Lin Feiran could answer, he continued speaking.
"Ms. Lin, please don't refuse outright. Let me explain the reasons why I want you to do this from three aspects.
"First, I believe Miss Lin loves Chu Yu, so you must also want him to live a good life. However, you should also be aware of your own conditions. You come from an ordinary family. If you really marry Chu Yu, you will not be able to bring him any help, and you may even be a burden to him.
"Secondly, consider your future. All marriages emphasize a good match, and wealthy families like ours place even greater emphasis on the practical benefits of marriage. The gap between you is too great, and a marriage like this won't last.
"The third one is from Miss Lin's own perspective. Now Yisi is pregnant with Chu Yu's child, and this child will definitely be born. The three of them are a true family of three. Even if Miss Lin is with Chu Yu, your family is destined to never be happy and harmonious. What's the point of watching your husband raise a child with someone else?"
Mr. Meng is indeed a veteran in the business world. He lists things in an orderly manner, with clear ideas and powerful words. He is definitely not the kind of fool who is unreasonable and would force others to break up.
Finally, he used his trump card: "Of course, considering that Miss Lin is with Chu Yu, there are also practical considerations. If you leave him, there will naturally be losses. Our Meng family is willing to compensate you for this loss. You can name the amount you expect and we can discuss it."
This is a very polite statement, and although it is essentially "I'll give you 10 million, and you leave him", the level is obviously much higher.
Lin Feiran lowered her eyes and remained silent for a long time.
Finally, he said, "Mr. Meng, let me go back and think about it."
When Father Meng saw that she did not refuse outright, he thought there might be hope of persuading her, and he was secretly happy.
He felt there was still hope. Lin Feiran hooked up with Chu Yu, and it was definitely at least partly because of money. As long as Lin Feiran was willing to leave, he could offer a huge sum of compensation. For Meng Yisi's lifelong event, spending tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions, would be completely worth it.
Marrying Chu Yu might not necessarily earn her so much money, but now that he had one hundred million in his pocket, it was already his. He didn't believe that Lin Feiran wouldn't be tempted.
"Okay, then Miss Lin, go back and think about it carefully. I expect you to make a wise choice."
Having said that, he paid for the coffee and left.
Lin Feiran sat there for a very long time without moving.
