Chapter 118 She had a falling out with the Meng family, so she took her to her place.

Meng Zhiyi's words were too offensive.

Even though Meng Zhizhou knew that she was disappointed with her family, he was still stung by her words.

Shen Que did not interrupt, but looked at her with worry in his eyes.

He thought that if she had a falling out with the Meng family, he would take her to his place.

He can give whatever the Meng family can and cannot give.

Meng Zhiyi did not continue speaking, but looked at Meng Zhizhou with a smile.

[I've said this much, but you still haven't responded? 】

[Why are the Meng family so fat and have they all lost their blood? ]

[You used to curse fiercely, but now you are silent. 】

Meng Zhizhou was indeed a little emotional because of what she said just now.

But his mind was filled with all the sufferings Meng Zhiyi had endured as a child.

Because just when they left, Meng Zhizhou sent people to Wangyue Township to inquire.

It turns out that the entire Wangyue Township knew that after the Yang family adopted Meng Zhiyi, they never treated her as a human being.

All year round, whether it is sunny, rainy, or even snowy, they can see Meng Zhiyi's small figure working in the fields.

It was freezing cold, so the Yang family asked her to go out and collect the frozen vegetables from the fields.

Under the scorching sun, the Yang family asked her to carry a bucket taller than herself and to water the crops in the fields like a toddler.

When it rained heavily, the Yang family made her pull the weeds from the ground by herself, or wash them alone in the ditch with a basket full of dirty clothes.

Because of this, Meng Zhiyi was often beaten and scolded by the Yang family.

She didn't have her own room and lived in a haystack on the pigsty all year round. She was so thin, small and dark that anyone who saw her would think she was a little beggar.

She was even so hungry that she had to pick up sweet potatoes that others didn't want in the fields.

Meng Zhizhou didn't have the courage to continue listening. Bai Xiao stopped talking halfway through.

At this moment, meeting the girl's cold and unemotional eyes, the guilt and heartache in his heart overwhelmed him like a tsunami.

"Go change your clothes first. I'll have someone send you some clean clothes." Meng Zhizhou swallowed the bitterness in his throat, and his hands hanging by his sides almost trembled uncontrollably.

Meng Zhiyi was very dissatisfied with his reaction. She curled her lips, then walked around him and went to her tent.

Shen Que pursed his lips, a little surprised by Meng Zhizhou's reaction.

He was silent for a few seconds, and finally walked away without asking anything.

But as soon as he took a step, Meng Zhizhou reached out and grabbed his arm.

"Wait a minute."

Shen Que looked at him doubtfully.

Meng Zhizhou took several deep breaths, trying hard to calm the surging emotions in his heart.

After a moment, he took a deep breath and said, "Tomorrow, take Zhiyi back to the capital first."

"Then you..." Shen Que was about to ask him if he was not going to continue investigating who would take action against him, but he heard Meng Zhizhou say, "I will not invest in this project anymore."

Shen Que: "If that's the case, the possibility of other people wanting to invest here is very small."

After all, the Meng family's reputation was there, so Meng Zhizhou came to investigate in person, but chose to give up the investment.

Anyone would think there is no investment value here.

But Meng Zhizhou can no longer care about that.

Wangyue Township is Meng Zhiyi's nightmare and the source of all her sufferings.

Even though he knew that this decision would be unfair to those who were waiting for their hometown to develop.

But as Meng Zhiyi's elder brother, he just wanted to do this.

As long as I stop touching this project, the person who wants to take action against me because of the project will have no reason to do so.

This is what Meng Zhizhou thought.

Shen Que: "Since you are not investing, why don't you come back with us?"

Meng Zhizhou: "I have other things to do."

"Okay." Shen Que didn't ask any more questions, nor was he curious about what he was going to do.

The next day dawned.

Meng Zhizhou found an excuse to Meng Zhiyi, saying that he would stay for a few days, and asked her to go back with Shen Que first before leaving.

Then, she also received news from the police and learned about Lin Luoluo's situation.

At this moment, Meng Zhiyi and Shen Que were going to pick her up.

When I saw Lin Luoluo, she was sitting on a bench in the police station with Lin Xiulian.

"Zhi Yi." Lin Luoluo knew that she had saved herself again this time, so she stood up and rushed to her.

Meng Zhiyi frowned and said unhappily, "Lin Luoluo, can you please let me worry less?"

Lin Luoluo looked at her apologetically: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to cause you trouble."

"Is this causing trouble? You are throwing your life away! If your friend hadn't run away this time, and I hadn't appeared here and hadn't run into her, you would have been sold abroad by now!"

"I just don't understand, how much do you need money? Can't you just not take a part-time job? Why do you always make yourself so miserable?"

Meng Zhiyi had no friends before, Lin Luoluo was the first person whom she helped once or twice.

She didn't know how to express her concern properly, so she just said a lot of harsh words.

Lin Luoluo bit her lip, lowered her head with a sense of guilt, and did not refute her words.

But Lin Xiulian on the side couldn't stand it anymore and pulled Lin Luoluo behind her: "People like you definitely don't lack money!"

"You have a good family background, and you have never had to worry about being poor. But we are different. We have to rely on our own hands to make life less difficult."

"Yes, you saved us this time, we should be grateful to you."

"But you don't have to scold Luo Luo like that, and you don't have to look down on her, because you don't even know what her family situation is like!"

Lin Luoluo quickly pulled Lin Xiulian and said, "Xiulian, Zhiyi doesn't look down on me. She said that because she cares about me."

Others may not understand Meng Zhi’s intention, but Lin Luoluo knows.

She just doesn't know how to express herself.

"Lolo, you don't have to compromise." Lin Xiu Lian didn't understand Meng Zhiyi and thought she was trying to please him.

"No, don't say anymore." Lin Luoluo was worried that Meng Zhi would feel sad, so she didn't let Lin Xiulian continue.

She turned around, reached out and pulled Meng Zhiyi, and said carefully: "Zhiyi, don't be angry, I was too stupid, I threw my own safety behind my head for the sake of making money. I will definitely open my eyes and be careful in the future."

Meng Zhiyi didn't say anything, but she knew that what she had just said was a bit excessive.

She forgot that she really didn't have to worry about money, but she forgot that Lin Luoluo's family background was incomparable to hers.

She bit her lip and looked away unnaturally.

Then he apologized awkwardly: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said those things."

Lin Luoluo bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes: "No, no, no, you don't have to apologize. I know you are worried about me."

Lin Xiulian opened her mouth wide and looked at Meng Zhiyi in surprise.

Although she was not a student at A University, she had heard a lot of rumors about Meng Zhiyi.

I was so frightened yesterday that I didn't recognize her immediately.

But after knowing it was her today, I still felt it was a little unreal.

Moreover, Meng Zhiyi actually apologized to Lin Luoluo?

This is simply a fantasy!

Meng Zhiyi: "If you need a job in the future, you can come and ask me."

Lin Luoluo bit her lip, looking a little embarrassed.

She knew that with Meng Zhiyi's status, it would only take a few words to arrange a job for her.

But Lin Luoluo didn't want Meng Zhi to think that she had an ulterior motive in being friends with her.

How could Meng Zhiyi not know what she was worried about? This was also the case after so many visits, but she had never taken the initiative to offer her help.

But the situation this time was different. In order to prevent Lin Luoluo from being deceived in various ways, she could only take the initiative to raise it.

"You said you considered me a friend. Isn't it right for friends to help each other?"

"But..." Lin Luoluo wanted to say something, but because of Meng Zhiyi's eyes, the rest of the words were stuck in her throat.

She struggled for a few seconds and whispered, "Then...can you help me find a reliable job?"

Meng Zhiyi smiled, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly: "Okay."

The four of them came out of the police station. When Shen Que was about to arrange for someone to take them to the train station, Lin Luoluo's cell phone suddenly rang.

The moment Meng Zhiyi took out her cell phone, her expression changed and her eyes flashed slightly.

Lin Luoluo turned around and picked up the phone. She covered her mouth with her hand as if she was afraid that others might hear her: "Hello, Auntie..."

"When will this month's money be transferred to you? Do you still want your father to live?"

The person on the other end of the phone had a sharp voice, and even though Lin Luoluo deliberately covered her mouth, Meng Zhiyi could hear it clearly.

"I'll give you one last day. If you don't pay me, I'll remove the oxygen tube immediately."
