Capítulo 554: Chapter 554 Lying for Love
Gu Minghao was so careful and considerate that Meng Jingfen felt a warm sensation in her heart.
When she opened the lunch box, it contained the fragrant chicken soup with noodles…
It was one of Meng Jingfen’s favorite dishes.
She was even more touched and felt deeply grateful: having him treat her , she was content with her life. Thıs text ıs hosted at n͟o͟v͟e͟l͟f͟i͟r͟e͟.net
After finishing the meal, Gu Minghao handed Meng Jingfen a brand new Motorola flip phone, “I bought this specially for you, so it would be convenient for both of us, and for you to contact your brother. Let’s go to the service hall and get a SIM card.”
Meng Jingfen had intended to refuse, but when she heard that it was for contacting Meng Yajun, she reluctantly accepted it.
Well, even if the phone was expensive, it was not as valuable as the gifts he had sent a few days earlier; it made no sense to accept those and refuse this now.
At most, she would later persuade Meng Yajun earnestly to fulfill Gu Minghao’s wish.
The two went to a nearby service hall, got a SIM card, exchanged phone numbers, and Gu Minghao drove to Meng Yajun’s small villa.
As Meng Jingfen had hoped, Meng Yajun was there and didn’t leave them hanging.
Meng Yajun did not invite her and Gu Minghao in, instead, he used the excuse of having to go to the company soon and chatted with them at the entrance.
Meng Jingfen introduced them to each other first.
Gu Minghao immediately handed Meng Yajun a business card.
Meng Yajun paused for a moment, then gave Gu Minghao one of his business cards in return.
Gu Minghao looked like a wealthy person with a nice car, so Meng Yajun didn’t doubt his identity. However, he was internally reluctant to help.
The reason was simple; he felt he owed Meng Chuyue too much.
Additionally, given his family’s actions towards her, it was already generous of her not to seek revenge. How could he have the audacity to ask her for a favor?
In other words, he didn’t feel he had any face left in front of Meng Chuyue and Shen Ci.
Shen Ci was willing to use him, but that was only because of his decent talent; otherwise, they probably wouldn’t bother with him.
Meng Yajun was clear about his own position, so after much deliberation, he refused, “I’m sorry, Shen Ci seldom visits our company. Although he’s my boss, we aren’t close, and I don’t have the ability to help Mr. Gu. I suggest Mr. Gu go directly to Medicinal Food Hall and talk to their manager.
Since they sell items individually there, they can surely convey a message to Shen Ci.”
Gu Minghao was rejected but didn’t show any awkwardness; he smiled and said, “I won’t lie to you; I’ve tried this route with friends here, but the people at Medicinal Food Hall said that Shen Ci allows them no involvement in wholesale matters. Even in retail, they sell only as much as they’re given, without any autonomy.”
Meng Yajun looked at Meng Jingfen, who appeared embarrassed, and said flatly, “I’m really sorry, but I genuinely can’t help.”
Gu Minghao put away his smile and said indifferently, “Since that’s the case, then let it be, sorry for disturbing you.”
He turned and walked towards his car.
Meng Jingfen hurried after him and said eagerly, “Wait for me in the car for a moment; I’ll go and try to persuade him again.”
Without waiting for Gu Minghao’s reply, she ran back to Meng Yajun.
In a low voice, she pleaded with Meng Yajun, “Please, Yajun, he once saved my life. I want to repay him with this favor, so please try talking to Shen Ci or Meng Chuyue just once. If they refuse, I promise I won’t persist. Just call them now, I’ll listen in, and if they say no, without any persuasion needed from you, I’ll give up completely.”
Meng Yajun looked skeptically at Gu Minghao’s car, “He saved you? What happened?”
“Just a few days ago, when I was picking up mom, a drunk man tried to drag me into an alley… If it weren’t for him… I don’t know what would have happened to me.”
Meng Yajun sighed and took out his cell phone, “Alright, I’ll ask and see.”
