"He's done so many bad things, don't even think about going abroad and wiping the slate clean." Mo Siyu also felt sympathy for those girls he had never met. In this day and age, although it is not like before, where losing one's reputation and chastity meant death, for most girls, losing their chastity is akin to losing their lives.
Not to mention the car accident and the scapegoating, and what was done to Tang Yue.
No matter what, Mo Siyu could not tolerate it.
"But won't it affect you?" Tang Yue was somewhat worried.
"It won't." Mo Siyu straightened her hair, saying many comforting words, holding Tang Yue tightly. Actually, the situation was far from as optimistic as Mo Siyu thought. If the Meng Family really did everything for the sake of their adopted grandson, Mo Siyu himself would not remain unscathed.
Even if Meng Jin was reasonable, he was still one of the Meng Family. What exactly would be the Meng Family's reaction, Mo Siyu could not predict.
When they returned to the hospital room, Lian Qingyang, calling him 'future brother-in-law' with every breath, praised sweetly as if he had coated his words with honey, "Future brother-in-law, you handled this matter so well, Meng Yanzhi won't be able to get out this time!"
"What, when I previously agreed to let Meng Yanzhi go abroad, you said you didn't blame me, but did you still hold it against me in your heart?" Mo Siyu wrapped his arm around Tang Yue's waist, his stern face turning towards Lian Qingyang, with a hint of laughter twinkling in his dark eyes.
Lian Qingyang cleared his throat, saying earnestly, "Future brother-in-law, I don't blame you, I'm just standing up for Sister Xiao Yue. That bastard even thought of... having his way with Sister Xiao Yue, and you were still so magnanimous, I just can't stand for it on Sister Xiao Yue's behalf."
"Lian Qingyang, let me tell you, stop calling me future brother-in-law all the time, drop the 'future' part." Mo Siyu said.
Lian Qingyang rolled his eyes and said, "Future brother-in-law, you haven't even registered for the marriage, nor held the wedding banquet. How can you start taking advantage of my Sister Xiao Yue!"
"We're engaged." Mo Siyu declared his claim, embracing Tang Yue, not loosening his grip even with Yu Zhaodi standing aside.
Lian Qingyang fell silent for a while. Alright, engagement essentially meant settling down as husband and wife; for many, there's not much difference from being married after getting engaged.
Yu Zhaodi quietly observed the interaction between Tang Yue and Mo Siyu, even without saying a word, the affection they showed was enough to make others envious.
"Zhaodi, I heard, heard that Meng Yanzhi was arrested?"
"You reported Meng Yanzhi?"
"You're too bold, right? Actually suing Meng Yanzhi, don't end up losing even more than what you bargained for."
As soon as Yu Zhaodi entered Jinghua University, many classmates crowded around to inquire.
Within just a day, the news of Meng Yanzhi's arrest had spread.
Yu Zhaodi said in a deep voice, "Is it true that he killed my father? Is it true that he found someone to take the blame? Why shouldn't I sue?" ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ N0veI.Fiɾe.net
Yu Zhaodi parted the crowd and headed to the dormitory. These classmates rarely approached her on regular days, but now they were so keen to ask about these matters.
The Meng Family might be powerful, but she refused to believe that in such a vast place as Huaxia, there wouldn't be a place to deliver justice!
That evening, when Qin Anyu heard the news at the Qin Family residence, she almost thought she was hearing things!
Meng Yanzhi got arrested?
Wasn't it said that Meng Yanzhi was preparing to leave the country? Everything was ready, so how did he get arrested?
"Grandpa, you're not lying to me, are you?" Qin Anyu couldn't help but dig at her ears, she had also visited Lian Qingyang and knew about what happened that day, and when she knew that Meng Yanzhi was going to leave the country, she thought it was too lenient on him.
Who would have thought, within a day's time, there would be such a huge turnaround in events!
"Why would I lie to you?" Grandpa Qin gave her a look, picked up the hot tea, skimmed off the froth on top, took a gentle sip, and then said, "This morning, before seven o'clock, someone personally came to the courtyard to take him away, many people saw it."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, he's finally getting his punishment." After Qin Anyu finished speaking, she asked, "Grandpa, what about the Meng family? Grandpa Meng wouldn't just ignore Meng Yanzhi's trouble, would he?"
Grandpa Qin asked, "Do you think Grandpa Meng would intervene?"
"Of course he would." Qin Anyu answered without hesitation: "Meng Yanzhi is Grandpa Meng's apple of the eye, with Grandpa Meng's illness, how could he possibly..." not care.
She hadn't managed to spit out the last three words when she noticed that her grandpa's expression wasn't quite right. She hesitated, and with some disbelief asked, "Grandpa, Grandpa Meng wouldn't really just ignore it, would he?"
"I'm afraid even if he wants to, he can't help." Grandpa Qin said so, although he had not inquired into the details, but from all these clues, he understood that Old Master Meng probably couldn't help it anymore, otherwise, there wouldn't have been the situation of someone personally coming to the courtyard to arrest him today.
Having received confirmation, Qin Anyu couldn't wait and went to the hospital early the next morning to share the good news.
These days, Tang Yue spent most of her time in the hospital, she cheerfully said, "I've got some good news, do you guys want to hear it?"
"If you want to say that Meng Yanzhi has been arrested, then there's no need to speak of it." The swelling in Lian Qingyang's eyes was already much better, not as frightening to look at as before.
Qin Anyu puffed up with irritation and said, "Lian Qingyang, can't you say something nice? Xiao Yue, you definitely don't know, do you? The news about Meng Yanzhi has spread all over the courtyard, this time, Meng Yanzhi is probably not coming out for a good number of years."
The Meng family didn't find anyone to pull strings for them, Meng Yanzhi's crimes were probably not going to be taken lightly.
"Errors you make yourself should be shouldered by yourself." Tang Yue wasn't clear about whether Meng Yanzhi would end up in prison or not, but the judge would certainly make a verdict according to the law.
"That's true." Qin Anyu nodded in agreement, then said, "By the way, my grandpa also praised your fiancé."
Mo Siyu in Grandpa Qin's mouth was nearly praised to the skies.
Tang Yue spoke proudly, "Of course, Si Yu is indeed very impressive."
"By the way, Xiao Yue, have you just been sketching here every day these days?" Qin Anyu asked with a troubled face, "The new factory is already halfway built, should we start looking for machinery? I've heard about these automated machines, I don't know if we can use them, but in the future, when Star Bright has more clothes to make and more stores to open, we'll definitely need to make even more clothes."
"Are there automated machines now?" Tang Yue was very interested in this, but immediately felt troubled, she could only leave if Bai Qing was here to take care of Lian Qingyang.
Tang Yue looked towards Bai Qing, but before she could speak, Lian Qingyang interrupted her.
"Sister Xiao Yue, Bai Qing can't stay here." Lian Qingyang understood what Tang Yue meant with her eyes, and immediately refused; Bai Qing had left before and something happened to Sister Xiao Yue, so Lian Qingyang felt it was not appropriate for Bai Qing to leave Sister Xiao Yue's side.
