"Where are you going?"
"Train station. I'll buy you a ticket. You can go back the same way you came here!"
Meng Tao laughed: This behavior is indeed very typical of the Tian family. Wang Shuifeng's good son has exactly the same character: in order to maintain his good reputation and not let others know that he has a rural wife, he would not allow her to stay in the Qianjin Steel Plant for even a moment!
Seeing Meng Tao didn't move, Tian Zhigao reached out to pull her. Meng Tao dodged once, but couldn't do it the second time. Tian Zhigao grabbed Meng Tao's arm and knew how to use a pleading tone: "Taohua, my dear sister, it's not easy for me to get to where I am today. Please forgive me and don't talk nonsense! You go back to the village first, and I will go back to see you after this period of time. I will definitely treat you well in the future! Don't worry, your grandfather is gone, and you have no other relatives. I am your real brother and your only support. I will write to you, send you money, and take good care of you in the future!"
I believed your lies!
Meng Tao struggled: "Tian Zhigao, let me go..."
Tian Zhigao didn't give any explanation, and his men used more force, trying to use the same trick as before to hold Meng Tao hostage and leave quickly, but they saw two people walking out from behind a cement road blocked by a clump of oleander in front of them on the left. Meng Tao's eyes lit up and he shouted, "Brother Meng, help me!"
Meng Zhehan just arrived at the guesthouse but didn't find Meng Tao. A waiter said he seemed to see her going to the cafeteria, so he walked over and met Shen Yu who was jogging. The two of them stood behind the oleander tree and hadn't said a few words when they saw Meng Tao being dragged here by Tian Zhigao. She was about to come out and heard Meng Tao calling Tian Zhigao's name. The two of them started questioning and settling accounts with each other from the beginning, and there was a lot of tension. Meng Zhehan and Shen Yu simply stood there and watched, listening to their entire conversation.
Meng Zhehan pointed at Tian Zhigao and said, "Let go of Taohua!"
Tian Zhigao: “Who are you?”
"Let him go first." Shen Yu glanced at him. Tian Zhigao looked at the handsome man in a white sports shirt, with a tall and handsome figure. He felt a chill for some reason and loosened his hand unconsciously.
Meng Tao was freed and immediately ran to Meng Zhehan.
Tian Zhigao hurriedly shouted: "Sister, be obedient and go home with me!"
Meng Tao looked back at him and said, "Tian Zhigao, stop lying. I am not your sister! I have several certificates issued by the brigade to prove my identity and my marriage to you. I will go to your unit leader now. I believe that the leader is reasonable and will definitely give me a fair explanation!"
"You...Taohua, don't be impulsive, wait a minute!" Tian Zhigao's face changed drastically and he rushed over to catch Meng Tao.
Shen Yu stopped him and said, "Tian Zhigao, right? Deputy Director Yuan's nephew-in-law."
Tian Zhigao had no choice but to stop and ask: "Excuse me, who are you?"
"I am Shen Yu."
Shen Yu? He was actually Shen Yu! Hearing this name, Tian Zhigao was stunned. Of course, he knew that Director Shen’s son was called Shen Yu.
Meng Tao was also surprised and couldn't help but lean over to take a closer look at Shen Yu: I thought his last name was Meng, but it turns out not to be.
Shen Yu only appears once in the novel, but he is very impressive, arrogant and awesome. It seems that his identity is unusual and mysterious. I thought he was at least an old man in his thirties, but I didn't expect him to be so young and handsome.
I also heard Shen Yu say to Tian Zhigao: "Xian Fangfang used to call me brother, I'll give you a piece of advice: since you have no feelings for Comrade Meng Taohua, just end it, this is also responsible for Fangfang."
Tian Zhigao nodded: "You are right, I am talking to Taohua, we will solve the problem privately, there is no need to go to the superiors."
After hearing what they said, Meng Tao immediately turned around and ran like a frightened rabbit. When she rushed up a small slope along the cement road, she looked back at the three men, her eyes full of vigilance: Shen Yu and Xian Fangfang have known each other since childhood, they are brother and sister, childhood sweethearts, so he will definitely favor Tian Zhigao and Xian Fangfang. You can tell from the meaning of his words.
Meng Zhehan is Shen Yu's good friend, so it goes without saying that he will stand on Shen Yu's side. What does the fate of being a family five hundred years ago mean? In a secluded area where few people pass by, these three men are dangerous. Although they will not kill her, it is too easy for them to cover each other and take her away to the train, so she has to be on guard and stay away.
Meng Tao shouted, "Tian Zhigao! The problem must be solved, but I won't talk to you privately. Go to the factory office and ask the leader to make the decision!"
After saying that, she continued running. Because she ran too fast, she didn't hear Meng Zhehan even called out "Taohua" several times.
Tian Zhigao wanted to chase after him, but Shen Yu was still talking to him and he couldn't get away.
Half an hour later, the anxious Tian Zhigao was notified to go to the factory office to discuss something. He had a bad feeling and hurried to the factory office building. A female secretary led him to the conference room on the third floor, where he saw Deputy Director Yuan, Mrs. Yuan Jiang Yushan, Xian Fangfang, Director Shen, two other deputy directors, the office director, and the chairman of the trade union were all present. Shen Yu and Meng Zhehan, two miscellaneous personnel, also came to join in the fun. Meng Taohua was sitting at the first seat on the left side of the long conference table. On the table were several certification papers with bright red official seals. One could guess that they were brought by Meng Taohua from the village. Apparently, the leaders of the steel plant had circulated them and already knew about her relationship with him.
Tian Zhigao immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
The reason why so many people were gathered together was, of course, that Meng Tao ran into the office building and made a big noise. Otherwise, if only Director Shen and Deputy Director Yuan knew about this, they would probably suppress it and try to reduce the number of people who knew about it. They would solve the problem in an opaque state, and then settle it privately. In the end, no matter what compensation Meng Tao was given, Tian Zhigao would always be protected, because he was Deputy Director Yuan's adopted son-in-law. Director Shen and Deputy Director Yuan had been friends for many years, and they were very optimistic about Tian Zhigao, a technical backbone trained by the factory, so they would definitely be partial to him.
Meng Tao would not go along with them and would not let them succeed - Tian Zhigao must experience what Meng Taohua had endured.
Deputy Director Yuan was a short and fat man with a friendly manner. Jiang Yushan was also friendly. The couple always smiled at Meng Tao and spoke in a friendly and appropriate manner. Perhaps because Deputy Director Yuan's family were all from the factory, Director Shen and other leaders of the steel plant, as Meng Tao had expected, all spoke in a way that was biased towards Tian Zhigao.
Although they also admitted that it was wrong for Tian Zhigao to divorce his wife and remarry, they all said a few good words for Tian Zhigao and tried to excuse him in a roundabout way. In the end, Jiang Yushan's words "Your marriage was an arranged marriage in the countryside without legal effect" successfully "angered" Meng Tao.
She was impatient to argue with these people, so she stood up and took out from her schoolbag a bunch of "small gifts" given by Tian Zhigao that Meng Taohua had kept in a camphorwood box. In addition to the withered bouquet of dried flowers, six or seven slippery colored stones, there were also a dozen paper rings. When she opened the paper rings, she got a note. On each note was Tian Zhigao's handwriting: "Tian Zhigao likes Meng Taohua", "Taohua, you are hidden in my heart", "Taohua, be my wife"...
