Meng Yinhua had called all the relatives, friends, and Meng Yuzhu’s classmates.
He called Meng Yajun as well.
Upon hearing the news, Meng Yajun thought, "Ah! Is this because he meddled too much?"
If he hadn’t meddled, this might not have happened, right?
But he truly had good intentions.
While muttering to himself, he went out to look for someone.
He had no particular goal, but as he wandered, a thought struck him: Meng Chuyue is so clever, why not ask her for an idea?
He knew this matter had nothing to do with Meng Chuyue, but he really didn’t want anything bad to happen to Meng Yuzhu.
With a nervous heart, he entered the Blue Sky Fast Food Main Store and asked the busy Zhao Xiaoxin in the hall, "Is Chuyue here?"
"My sister isn’t here, but she just called me and said if you come, tell you she’s already found Meng Yuzhu. Meng Yuzhu is fine and will be home in half an hour, and asked you to inform her parents that she’s safe. Um, my sister said you can just use the store phone, no need to go out to make the call."
Meng Chuyue had already found Meng Yuzhu?
Why would she go looking for Meng Yuzhu?
Did uncle ask her to?
Anyway, it’s good that Meng Yuzhu is fine.
Otherwise, life wouldn’t be easy for everyone in the future.
What Meng Yajun didn’t know was that Meng Yinhua never asked Meng Chuyue for help.
He didn’t think Meng Yuzhu would go to Meng Chuyue.
He didn’t dare to trouble Meng Chuyue for help.
It was Erhu who, after discovering that Meng Yuzhu had run away from home, was led by two delinquents to a nightclub intending to commit misconduct, and he told Meng Chuyue about it.
That nightclub was co-owned by Shen Ci, Fu Ran, and Long Yue.
Meng Chuyue didn’t want any interaction with Meng Yinhua’s family, but knowing what was happening, she didn’t want them to suffer this kind of calamity either.
Moreover, those two delinquents were causing trouble on Shen Ci’s turf, and that alone was reason enough to intervene.
She quickly instructed Shen Ci to command the nightclub staff to take control.
Of course, taking control didn’t mean immediately driving the hoodlums away, but to appear at the most critical moment for Meng Yuzhu.
She did this not to purposely disgust Meng Yuzhu, but to let her learn a lesson.
After Meng Yuzhu’s jacket was forcefully removed, Meng Chuyue finally entered with two bodyguards and rescued her from their clutches.
Meng Yuzhu was sobered up by the ordeal.
However, being typically unclear in her mind, instead of thanking Meng Chuyue, she accused her, "Meng Chuyue, these two scum were sent by you to bully me, weren’t they?"
Meng Chuyue sneered, "Yeah, right, I’m an ’immortal,’ knowing you’d run away from home today to catch a train to the south."
Indeed, she was planning to take a train going back to her grandmother’s house in Wuliu Town for a few days.
She had boarded the train and met two junior high school classmates. After being persuaded by them, she decided not to go to Wuliu Town but to invite them to Meng Chuyue’s trouble at the Blue Sky Fast Food Main Store the next day.
The two hoodlums, to deceive her, acted very decently, advising her that it wasn’t safe for girls to spend the night outside and insisted she must return home tonight. But before going home, she could sit with them at a nightclub.
With the appearance of upstanding gentlemen and their past as obedient students, combined with Meng Yuzhu’s curiosity about what a nightclub was like, she agreed to go with them.
She was supposed to stay for just half an hour before heading home, but then they ordered two bottles of red wine...
Under the temptation of red wine, curiosity, and vanity, Meng Yuzhu got successfully intoxicated by the scoundrels.
If not for Erhu, she would have really suffered.
Meng Chuyue’s words left her speechless.
She stayed silent for a while then burst into sobs with her face in her hands.
Meng Chuyue didn’t pamper her further and said sternly, "You have half an hour to clean yourself up, then I will have a waitress send you home. If you want to preserve your reputation, cooperate; if you think I’m meddling, you can leave now."
This was why Meng Yuzhu ended up being half an hour late getting home.
