Chapter 25 Rumors
Seeing that he was walking normally, Yu Huan didn't think much about it and thought he was sober.
"Then I'll go back first." After saying hello to Meng Han outside the bathroom, Yu Huan went out and walked towards the elevator.
She didn't see Master He outside and thought he was still in the bathroom.
After thinking about it, she went to the first floor.
Meng Han had been rubbing his forehead, so he must have a headache. If he just left it alone, he would definitely feel worse tomorrow.
In the bathroom, Meng Han turned on the faucet, reached out to scoop up some water and poured it on his face. The cold liquid finally made his mind clearer.
He raised his hands and placed them on the edge of the sink, looking at his disheveled self in the mirror, his thoughts returned to the night.
The remaining memories in my mind came back again.
Today is the day when Meng Tan, the youngest of the Meng family’s grandchildren and the old man’s favorite, returns home.
Meng Tan is ten years younger than him. He just graduated from a foreign university and has no experience. However, his third uncle arranged him to work at the headquarters and gave him a position that was neither high nor low.
When this news came out, the most dissatisfied people at the table were Meng Yunjiang's family, except Meng Han.
For Meng Han, no matter what the elders decided, it didn't matter to him. He had long been accustomed to it. In this family, there was no fairness. You could never get what you wanted with just words. It was always based on who had the most ruthless means.
But his elder brother Meng Xia and younger brother Meng Chunsheng were different. They were not smart enough, had no means, and could not learn to be content, so they were the first to express their dissatisfaction.
"Uncle San, this isn't appropriate. When we three brothers graduated, we all started from the grassroots level in the branch company. Even if Meng Tan doesn't go to the branch company, he should start from the grassroots level in the headquarters." Meng Chunsheng looked dissatisfied.
He is three years older than Meng Tan and is currently working as a department member in a branch company in a neighboring city.
Hearing this, Meng Tan smiled and said, "Brother Chunsheng, don't be so unconvinced. We both started from different points. I graduated from a top university, so my qualifications are definitely higher than yours, who graduated from a fake university. Even if I don't join our company, I can at least get a management position if I apply for a job at another company."
Meng Chunsheng scoffed disdainfully, "Then go ahead. I want to see which company's management position you can land. You may not be very capable, but you're quite arrogant."
Meng Xia also spoke up at this time: "Uncle, your arrangement is indeed not very reasonable. If we go by academic qualifications, Meng Han has the highest academic qualifications among us brothers. Didn't he also start from the grassroots level?"
Meng Yunhe looked unhappy after being bullied by the two brothers. He turned to look at Old Man Meng who was sitting in the main seat.
"Alright, your Third Uncle only has Xiao Tan as his son. It would be better to leave Xiao Tan with him and let him take good care of him."
Mr. Meng made the final decision on this matter.
Meng Tan looked at Meng Chunsheng with pride. Meng Chunsheng was so angry that he stood up as soon as he put down his chopsticks and said, "You guys, eat!"
After saying that, he turned and left.
"Meng Chunsheng!" Meng Yunjiang shouted in a low voice, but failed to keep him.
Seeing this, Mr. Meng's face turned pale and he looked at Meng Yunjiang, "This is what you have done to me. You have no respect for your elders!"
Meng Yunjiang lowered his head and said, "I will teach him a lesson when I get back."
At this moment, some people at the table were proud, some were disappointed, and some were indignant. Only Meng Han, who was sitting at the end, was eating his meal quietly, with no emotion on his face, as if he was just an outsider.
Meng Tan supported his chin and stared at him, thinking back to the news he had heard before returning home.
Slightly raising the corner of his lips, he quietly took out a pill from his pocket, put it into the wine glass while no one was paying attention, and then sat next to Meng Han with two wine glasses in his hands.
"Brother Han, long time no see, I toast you a glass."
Meng Han took the wine glass, put it aside, and picked up a glass of water beside him. "I'm quitting drinking. Let's drink water instead."
He gestured towards the other person with the cup of water, and was about to drink when he was stopped by the other person.
Meng Tan supported his head with one hand and looked at him with a smile, "Brother Han, I've heard a lot of rumors about you in Country X."
The school he and Meng Han attended was in the same city, but Meng Han's school was more famous.
Before he went, he had never thought that he would hear some rumors about his cousin in the local Chinese circle.
Still a very exciting one.
"Really?" Meng Han's expression was indifferent and did not change because of his words.
Meng Tan narrowed his eyes, moved closer to him, and whispered, "Aren't you curious about what I heard? Hmm? You are very famous abroad."
"I don't understand what you are saying." Meng Han turned his wrist to avoid his hand, raised his head and took a sip of the warm water in the cup.
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, but there must be someone at this table who can understand." Meng Tan picked up the wine glass again.
"As long as you give me some face, I will shut up and be an obedient brother."
Meng Han was too lazy to argue with him. He picked up the wine glass he had just handed to him, gestured to him, and drank it all in one gulp.
Only then did Meng Tan retreat with satisfaction.
Meng Han continued to eat quietly, but after a few minutes, he felt something was wrong. His head felt dizzy and he began to feel dizzy.
He knew very well how much he could drink. It was impossible for him to get drunk after just one glass. There must have been something added to the wine.
The hand holding the chopsticks tightened slightly, and a hint of gloom flashed in his eyes, which had originally been emotionless.
He didn't expect that after not seeing each other for a while, Meng Tan had become so bold that he even dared to drug him.
"I'm going to the bathroom." After telling the people at the table, he stood up and left.
Meng Tan watched him leave, then stood up and followed him.
Meng Han walked into the bathroom, put his hands on the sink, lowered his head and breathed slightly.
"Brother, what's wrong? Are you drunk?" Meng Tan followed in and moved closer with a smile.
"But I heard...uh!" Before he could finish his words, a hand grabbed his throat and pushed him against the wall.
The familiar face appeared before him, but the usually indifferent expression was now filled with a chilling chill.
The force on his neck was still tightening, and his strength was so great that Meng Tan couldn't struggle free.
Seeing the person in his hand with a red face and a wide-open mouth as if he was about to suffocate, Meng Han loosened his grip slightly, leaned over to his ear, and spoke softly.
"Just be a good and obedient brother and don't provoke me."
After saying this, he completely let go of her hand and returned to the table.
At this time, most of the people at the table had dispersed. Meng Yunjiang was waiting for him. When he saw him coming, he motioned for him to follow him.
"I'm not feeling well. Let's talk about it another day." Meng Han rubbed his head, said goodbye to Meng Yunjiang, and left with his coat.
He forced himself to get back to the car and said to Master He that he would be dead after returning and fell into a coma.
