For Tang Zhiyi at this moment, Meng Wan's words were nothing short of a call from hell.
As luck would have it, just as Meng Wan finished speaking, the sound of police sirens rang out nearby.
Tang Zhiyi instinctively tried to run away, but Meng Wan had already anticipated this and reached out to grab her.
The two were locked in a stalemate through the gap in the railing. Meng Wan was incredibly strong; even Tang Zhiyi at her peak physical condition might not have been able to pull her away, let alone now when her body was most severely depleted.
Meng Wan watched as Tang Zhiyi was taken away by the police. She opened the iron gate and saw Tang Zhiyi cursing and yelling without any regard for her image. Even the two policemen who were holding her couldn't stand it anymore and pulled her into the car with more force.
In contrast, Meng Wan's expression remained unchanged, and the smile on her lips, in Tang Zhiyi's eyes now, was nothing short of a blatant mockery.
"Everything you have should be mine. You're the thief. The Tang family is mine, the Meng family is mine, they're all mine!"
"Then you'd better call Tang Qi and Meng Zhiyuan right away, provided you can get in touch with them. Goodbye, enjoy your single life, Miss."
Meng Wan waved her hand, her tone light and slightly mischievous, looking quite innocent, but Tang Zhiyi hated her to the core, wishing he could rush up and devour her flesh.
The police cars gradually disappeared from sight, leaving only the sound of their sirens echoing in the area.
The farce ended, and Meng Wan raised an eyebrow, clearly unharmed by Tang Zhiyi's words. Back in her room, Qin Yi had just finished a phone call.
"Wanwan, are you alright?" Qin Yi looked her over from left to right.
"Aren't you going to ask if Tang Zhiyi is alright?"
"If I were still blinded by greed after all these things, I might as well pack my things and leave this house." Qin Yi had lost even the slightest bit of sympathy for Tang Zhiyi.
"It's all her own fault, she has no one to blame but herself. We should just live our own lives."
Qin Yi patted her shoulder, "I made you some pastries this morning, they're still warm in the pot. Have a piece to tide you over, and we'll have dinner tonight when your older brother and the others come back."
Meng Wan nodded, and none of the three mentioned Tang Zhiyi again, as if she had never been there.
In the evening, Meng Zhiyuan and the others returned one after another.
Since Meng Wan started school, it was common for Meng Zhiyao to not see her for ten days or half a month. As a result, Meng Zhiyao became even more clingy after seeing Meng Wan, following her around and never leaving her side. Even when eating, she would move her chair closer to Meng Wan.
Since starting school, with Tang Li and Tian Qi, two lively characters, around, Meng Zhiyao's personality has become much more cheerful. Although she still doesn't talk much, she no longer locks herself in her room to draw all day like before.
Although I still go to Qian Yixuan's place on weekends, I don't know when it started, that little garden has become a mini kindergarten. Meng Zhiyao draws inside, while the two children and a dog play outside, aiming for a companionship without disturbing each other.
Sometimes, Qian Yixuan would bring his paintings to his own exhibitions in the evening, and sometimes he would take him to meet artists in the industry. Of course, all of this was with the consent of the Meng couple and on the premise that Meng Zhiyao was willing.
"The online criticism has gradually subsided. I have sent lawyer's letters to those who initially attacked Wanwan and those who spread rumors during the chaos. Those who did not apologize will have to wait to go to court."
As Meng Zhiyuan ate, as if seeking praise, he suddenly spoke.
"By the way, Tang Zhiyi came over this afternoon. I called the police and they took her away. I also gave them all the evidence of her drug use. She'll probably be in jail for a few years." Meng Wan said while eating, casually mentioning what had happened that afternoon.
Her tone was flat, as if she were saying that the weather was nice this afternoon.
The Meng family paused for a moment, then resumed their eating and drinking as usual.
“It’s all her own fault. She called me, but I blocked her as soon as I heard her voice.” Meng Zhiyuan put a piece of meat into Meng Wan’s bowl, his tone unreadable.
He has never wronged her, and the current situation is her own choice, so she has no one to blame but herself.
“She called me too, but I just hung up.” Meng Boqun happened to be buying groceries at the market at that time.
"Is this the phone number?" Meng Zhili opened her phone's contacts as if she had just remembered something.
Yes, this is it.
"I was in class and didn't receive the call. I saw it was from an unknown number, so I didn't call back." With that, she put her phone away and said nothing more.
"I was recording a program and didn't receive the call."
Meng Zhilian wasn't interested in the number or Tang Zhiyi. It was obvious to anyone that Tang Zhiyi, who had previously looked down on them, would suddenly call them because she saw their comeback and wanted to curry favor with them.
As he spoke, Meng Zhiyuan suddenly stood up, walked to the living room, and took a document out of his briefcase.
The eyes of the others followed him.
"Zhiyuan, what is this?"
“Just eat, it won’t make much difference if you work a little later.” Meng Boqun knew his eldest son’s personality; he was just like him in the past, a workaholic who would work day and night and sometimes even forget to eat.
However, Meng Zhiyuan didn't say anything, but instead handed over the documents in his hand.
Meng Boqun was a little stunned, and subconsciously took it.
"Property purchase contract?" Meng Boqun read aloud, looking up at Meng Zhiyuan.
"I bought our house back, but a lot of things are gone. It will take some time to renovate and furnish it, so we can't move in yet."
