Chapter 88 Some things are more interesting to talk about at night
This was the first time Meng Anran had called Su Wanman via video in such a long time. She wanted to report her safety and ask if they had a good time at the wedding tonight.
As soon as the video was connected, she saw Meng Rong's red and swollen face flash by.
After repeated questioning, Su Wanman was willing to tell the truth.
They went to a wedding banquet tonight and gave a 500 yuan gift. My cousin's wife opened the red envelope on the spot and said sarcastically that Meng Anran was a rich girl and should have brought a lot of private goods with her even if she returned to the Meng family, so why was she so stingy with the gift?
Su Wanman felt uncomfortable and started arguing with her. After just two or three words, her cousin's wife suddenly covered her seven-month pregnant belly and cried out in pain, saying she had a miscarriage and demanded compensation from Su Wanman.
Originally, it was just a matter of whether to compensate or not, but when my cousin came over to help his wife, he made some sour and sarcastic remarks about Meng Anran: "After being a rich girl for seventeen years, you are so arrogant that you don't even take us relatives seriously. You didn't come to the wedding banquet, and you didn't even give a generous gift to show your appreciation. You are so stingy!"
Unmarried people don't need to bring gifts when attending a wedding. It's obvious that the cousin is coveting the money in Meng Anran's pocket, and when he can't get it, he starts spreading rumors.
At this time, the uncle also came over and said, "An Ran is not even half as filial as Qing Cheng. But An Ran has met many wealthy men in the past ten years, right? In the future, with her looks, she can easily snag a rich husband and live comfortably for the rest of your lives."
The two men sang the same tune, openly praising but secretly criticizing. How could Meng Rong tolerate others talking about her beloved daughter like this? She immediately started fighting with her uncle.
Seeing that his father had already taken action, Meng Yushu didn't need to be polite either. He immediately rushed over, pinned his cousin to the ground, and punched him twice.
As one of the men in the family, Meng Chenghong was not willing to be outdone. He took advantage of the chaos and pounced on his cousin and bit his leg.
In the end, my cousin's wife had a miscarriage and was sent directly to the hospital. My uncle's family demanded compensation for medical expenses and mental damages, and if they refused, they would call the police and sue them for intentional injury.
Meng Anran took a quick look at the injury reports of her uncle and cousin. This level of injury did not constitute intentional injury, at most it was just a provocation.
However, even if she was only detained for a few days, she didn't want her family to have a criminal record, especially Meng Yushu, who had the college entrance examination in three months. It would be very troublesome if she went to the police station at this time.
"So, you really plan to compensate them?" Liu Zhi lay comfortably on the bed, turned her head and stared at Meng Anran.
"Any problem that can be solved with money is not a problem." Meng Anran put down her phone, stood up, and went to the suitcase to look for her pajamas.
"How much compensation are they asking for?"
"One million."
"So much?" Liuzhi sat up suddenly. How could a petty-bourgeois family dare to ask for such a high price?
Do they know what one million means? It is enough to build a Hope Primary School in a poor mountainous area.
It would be better to donate this money instead of giving it to your worst relatives!
"If they want it, give it to them." Meng Anran said lightly. She had already made arrangements and transferred the money to her uncle's bank card.
The transfer records and the surveillance video of tonight's banquet will be kept as evidence. When she has the spare time, she will send them to the police station and file a complaint for extortion.
Of course, she didn't intend to send her extremely bad relative to jail. After all, the surveillance footage showed that Meng Rong was the first to take action.
It's just one more bargaining chip to threaten relatives, to ensure that they don't call the police on Mengrong and Meng Yushu. Otherwise, extortion is much more serious than provoking trouble.
As for the one million, the police would demand its return. She had plenty of ways to settle the score with them secretly for the slander and defamation they had committed against her.
The next day at noon, Meng Yushu was eating when she received a call from her mother, saying that her uncle was being sued and a lawyer came to the house to say that he would help them with the lawsuit?
Is this some new type of scam?
Seeing his expression come to a halt, Qiao Yichen leaned over to eavesdrop on the call, "Who is it?"
After discovering that the person on the other end was a lawyer and briefly understanding the situation, Qiao Yichen directly snatched the phone and spoke to the other end, "I know this. Suing them for extortion, right? Oh, and be careful that they're not trying to turn the tables. Don't worry, I'll get Yu Shu's injury report ready for him!"
Meng Yushu: ...
It seems that everything was arranged clearly.
The matter was resolved quickly. Not only did my uncle's family not get any benefits, but they also spent the one million yuan lavishly to buy a car and are currently unable to repay the ransom amount. Now Meng Anran has become their creditor.
However, if they were asked to work to pay back the debt, they might not be able to earn a million in their lifetime, so Meng Anran was kind enough to introduce them to jobs.
I won’t tell you what it does specifically, but it’s definitely not a good thing.
On the fifth day of the study tour, Liuzhi could no longer hold on. As soon as she returned to the room, she was so tired that she collapsed on the windowsill.
"Other schools envy us for funding a two-week study tour every year. Little do they know that these trips are just field trips, and we have to submit a 5,000-word report afterward. Three cities, three reports, that's 15,000 words! It's painful!"
"Take a shower and rest early. You have to get up at seven in the morning to go to the airport."
Liu Zhi sat up and said, "Then I'll wash first. I'm so tired."
"Okay, you go first." Meng Anran sat down at the desk and took out a notebook to organize the details of today's inspection to facilitate the subsequent writing of the report.
As soon as the sound of water was heard in the bathroom, her cell phone rang.
Duan Jingyao: Is it convenient for us to meet? I'll be waiting for you on the second floor of the restaurant.
There must be something bad happening when asking her out so late at night, but she had to be on guard against Duan Jingyao's conspiracy before. Now that she has figured out his intentions, it's a good time to go and have a chat.
It would take about seven or eight minutes to walk from here to the restaurant in the resort, and twenty minutes at most to finish the conversation. Meng Anran estimated the time and knocked on the bathroom door.
"Zhizhi, I'm going out for a while. It's 9:50 now. If I'm not back before 10:30, please come to the restaurant to find me."
The sound of water in the bathroom suddenly stopped. Liu Zhi opened the glass door a crack and poked her head out. "It's so late, where are you going?"
"Duan Jingyao is looking for me."
"Why did you go when he asked you out? Can't he talk about it during the day? Why did he have to call you out at night?"
Meng Anran smiled meaningfully, "Some things are more interesting to talk about at night."
Liu Zhi curled her lips speechlessly, "Okay, then be careful. I'll come find you after I take a shower."
"Um."
Although it was night, the resort was brightly lit everywhere, the street lights on the paths were bright, and occasionally security guards patrolled by on electric vehicles.
There were still customers having supper on the first floor of the restaurant, but Duan Jingyao made an appointment with Meng Anran to meet on the second floor which had stopped business.
It was empty and dark, with only a faint light coming into the corridor from outside the window.
Seeing the figure standing in the darkness, Meng Anran walked over. "Master Duan has been hanging out with Lu Qingcheng lately, but he called me out so late at night. Is there something important that he must talk about in person?"
