Chapter 82 Wen Chi and Meng Qiyue (Bonus Chapter 1)
When Meng Qiyue learned that Chu Xiang planned to get married to Gu Heng next year, she was completely taken aback. She said in disbelief, "Isn't this a bit too fast! Early marriage and childbirth aren't fashionable these days!"
Chu Xiang sipped her milk tea elegantly, her tone indifferent, "Of course, you don't have to get married if you haven't met the right person, but if I have, then naturally I should hold onto him tightly. What if I'm a little slow and someone else snatches him away?"
Meng Qiyue still couldn't understand. She had met Gu Heng a few times. The man was indeed handsome and had a good temperament, but he seemed so boring! Would living with him really be that happy?
Looking at Meng Qiyue's complicated expression, Chu Xiang guessed what she was thinking. She said in a tone of someone who had been through it all, "Qiyue, you're still young and haven't been in a relationship before. It's normal that you don't understand."
Meng Qiyue gritted her teeth inwardly.
From childhood to adulthood, she and Chu Xiang have always been competing to see who is better. Now that Chu Xiang has decided on her wedding date, she still doesn't have a boyfriend!
No, Meng Qiyue absolutely refused to admit defeat.
Previously, the girls' tea party during after-school hours would have three people, but recently only Chu Xiang and Meng Qiyue have remained.
Chu Xiang asked, "Is He Sui very busy lately?"
Meng Qiyue replied, "She said she made friends with an old man she gets along with very well. He can provide her with a lot of inspiration and material. She probably went to the hospital to see that old man again today."
He Sui is a social butterfly with a wide circle of friends. There's never a dull moment when you chat with her, and she's naturally very likable.
Chu Xiang was in the throes of a blissful romance, He Sui had his own hobbies, and Meng Qiyue suddenly felt that her life seemed rather boring.
Chu Xiang suddenly remembered something and whispered to Meng Qiyue, "I remember that the unwelcome guest at your house was surnamed Wen?"
Meng Qiyue's face was pale. "Yes, what's wrong?"
Ever since Wen Chi came to the Meng family, Meng Qiyue has disliked going home for holidays. She doesn't want to see that eyesore. But then she thought, if she doesn't go home and cause trouble, wouldn't that be like admitting defeat?
So she would go home every time she had a holiday. But it wasn't just about going home; she had to turn the house upside down to feel at ease.
Chu Xiang whispered, "My husband, Mr. Gu, said that Wen Chi's identity doesn't seem to be as simple as it seems."
Meng Qiyue frowned. "What do you mean?"
Chu Xiang shook her head. "My husband, Mr. Gu, only told me this much. He said Wen Chi is a respectable person, and that's all I know."
Meng Qiyue's eyes showed suspicion.
Another day off was approaching, and on Friday night, Meng Qiyue took a car back to the Meng family home with a gift she had bought for her mother. In the past, she would always bring gifts for her parents when she went home, but now Mr. Meng no longer received this privilege.
There's a cocktail party today, so Mr. and Mrs. Meng probably won't be home until later.
Meng Qiyue went back to her room and sat for a while. When she heard a noise in the living room, she thought her mother had returned. She quickly came out of her room. When she stood on the stairs and saw the person in the living room, the smile on her face disappeared instantly.
The boy was still wearing his blue and white school uniform. He was tall and had long legs. He carried a black bag and exuded youthful energy. He only glanced coldly at the aloof young lady before looking away.
Meng Qiyue crossed her arms and said irritably, "What's wrong with your face?"
Wen Chi's once fair and flawless face now bears several scars, which are particularly noticeable. He has always been a man of few words and often remains silent in response to what others say.
His room was also on the second floor, but as he went up the stairs, Meng Qiyue didn't intend to make way. She blocked his path and asked again, "Were you beaten up?"
Wen Chi finally spoke, "It has nothing to do with you."
Meng Qiyue laughed in anger, "You're now registered as a member of the Meng family. If you get bullied, it's the Meng family that's losing face."
Meng Qiyue has never been a coward. Everyone knew she was not someone to be trifled with when she was in school. Even if someone tried to bully her, she would definitely retaliate on the spot. That's why she couldn't stand Wen Chi's personality.
Wen Chi seemed unwilling to say anything more to Meng Qiyue. He tried to walk around her by going to the inside of the stairs, but Meng Qiyue grabbed his backpack directly. "Stop right there!"
Wen Chi paused, and as he turned around, Meng Qiyue happened to be walking forward as well. The two bumped into each other, and Meng Qiyue's foot, which was on the step, wobbled. Fortunately, the young man reacted quickly and grabbed her waist, pulling her back.
She bumped into the young man's chest, her nose stung, and she looked up at him angrily.
Wen Chi still had that expressionless face, as if he had forgotten that his hand was still wrapped around the girl's slender waist.
Meng Qiyue: "Let go!"
Wen Chi withdrew his hand and took two steps back.
Meng Qiyue: "Let me tell you, your potted plant is still in my hands. If you do anything to upset me, I'll smash it."
His gaze was deep and unfathomable.
She's said that dozens of times, but I've never actually seen her smash anything.
Meng Qiyue: "And what happened today..."
Wen Chi turned around and went upstairs, ignoring her nagging, and went straight into the room.
Meng Qiyue was furious, but she quickly came up with another idea. Even if Wen Chi refused to reveal what had happened today, she could still get information from Chu Xiang, since Chu Xiang's younger brother was in the same class as Wen Chi.
On Saturday, senior high school students attended classes as usual.
Wen Chi refused the driver arranged for him by Mr. Meng and took the bus to school by himself. It wasn't too early, but it wasn't too late either.
He had just entered the school gate when he was surrounded by four or five boys.
Several boys, their faces contorted in pain and tears streaming down their faces, cried, "We're sorry, Wen Chi, we shouldn't have bothered you, we were wrong!"
Please forgive us!
"We'll never do it again!"
...
These boys looked pitiful, as if they had suffered a great injustice, but just yesterday they said that the transfer student was indifferent to everyone, had a high-handed attitude, and had come as a group to cause trouble for Wen Chi.
One of the boys said painfully, "You're too low-key. If only we had known you were from the Meng family earlier!"
Another boy said, "Our family only runs a small business. Wen Chi, we apologize to you. Please forgive us!"
Another boy said, "Please, please talk to your sister and say that we know we were wrong, so she can calm down!"
Wen Chi, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke up, "It's not my sister."
Several boys: "Huh?"
Wen Chi: "She is not my sister."
After saying that, he walked past the group and left.
The boys were confused and looked at each other, their eyes reflecting the other's swollen face.
Did the eldest daughter of the Meng family even realize that they did go and cause trouble for Wen Chi, but they were the ones who got beaten up the worst?
