Chapter 175 Girls are outgoing

Outside the department store, people come and go.

Meng Wan stormed out angrily after ending that hypocritical meeting with the Zhou family, her face full of displeasure and grievance.

"Meng Wan!" Zhou Chuan reacted quickly, grabbing her arm and scolding her, "It's really impolite of you to run out like that. Come back with me and apologize to my mother properly."

A flash of anger crossed Meng Wan's eyes. She forcefully shook off Zhou Chuan's hand, her voice trembling, "Zhou Chuan, do you even understand the situation? You witnessed firsthand how your mother bullied me. Not only do you not stand up for me, but you also want me to go back and apologize? What kind of nonsense is this?"

Zhou Chuan's expression flickered slightly, as if he was somewhat embarrassed: "My mother is indeed a bit blunt, but she is, after all, an elder, and we, as the younger generation, can't just take it personally."

Meng Wan sneered, her tone full of sarcasm: "Since you're so filial, if she asked us to break up, would you agree without hesitation?"

Zhou Chuan's face instantly darkened, and he said sternly, "Meng Wan, don't say things like that again."

He actually looked down on Meng Wan, but what could he do when Meng Wan had a father who was quite famous in the medical field? As long as he could get close to the Meng family, his Zhou family could rise to prominence and prosper.

Meng Wan lowered her head slightly, her eyes vacant: "But what can I do? I can't get into the provincial hospital, and I've already decided to work at the clinic."

Zhou Chuan frowned and said urgently, "How can you go to the clinic? The conditions there are harsh, and the future is limited."

Perhaps because his tone was too impatient, Meng Wan felt even more upset after hearing this: "Why can't I go? What's wrong with the clinic? We both serve the people, so how am I inferior?"

Zhou Chuan realized his tone was off and quickly softened it, coaxing Meng Wan: "That's not what I meant. Look how good the Provincial Hospital is, it has a bright future. That's what my mom values ​​too."

“You know your mother values ​​family reputation. If I get into the provincial hospital, it will make your Zhou family look much better.” Meng Wan’s face darkened immediately as she was annoyed by people bringing up these empty titles and benefits.

"What conditions does your Zhou family have that you need to consider family background?" Meng Wan's words carried a hint of disdain. "If you were capable, you wouldn't have remained lowly employees in the machine factory, unable to even become a team leader."

Zhou Chuan's face instantly turned ashen; these words had undoubtedly struck a nerve.

The reason he got together with Meng Wan was because he was after Meng Wan's father's reputation and status.

He knew perfectly well that the factory director's life had been saved by Meng Wan's father.

As long as they establish a connection with the Meng family, wouldn't promotion be a piece of cake?

"Meng Wan, I never expected you to be such a person who flatters the powerful and belittles the weak. In that case, there's no need for us to continue discussing this marriage." Zhou Chuan turned and left angrily, certain that Meng Wan wouldn't last a day before coming to him to beg for reconciliation.

Watching Zhou Chuan's heartless back, Meng Wan's eyes stung with tears.

Although she was mentally prepared for this, Zhou Chuan's resolute departure still saddened and disappointed her.

Meng Wan took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

Well, she's tired too. This relationship was full of calculation and compromise from the very beginning. Perhaps letting go is the best choice.

The moment she turned her head, she met Li Wanqing's surprised gaze.

Caught red-handed by the person directly involved in the gossip, Li Wanqing showed no embarrassment whatsoever; instead, she laughed heartily.

"Well, I was just passing by and happened to run into you," Li Wanqing explained.

She really didn't eavesdrop on purpose; it's just that the two of them were arguing quite loudly, and there were people all around, so she wasn't the only one watching the commotion.

Meng Wan glanced at her indifferently, feeling a moment of awkwardness, but quickly recovered. She nodded slightly in response.

"You don't seem to be doing too well," Meng Wan said, looking Li Wanqing up and down with a hint of teasing in her voice.

She was a medical student, so she could probably see some clues.

Although Li Wanqing looked energetic, she was noticeably paler than when I first met her two days ago, indicating that something had happened.

She wasn't interested in what exactly happened.

Li Wanqing smiled faintly, a hint of helplessness in her smile: "It's alright, a little better than you."

Cheng Baichuan initially disagreed with her going out today, given the injuries on her arms and legs.

Even though they are just superficial injuries, you shouldn't overexert yourself.

The injury on her hand was alright, but after walking down three floors, the injury on her leg was really starting to take a hit. Li Wanqing gently rubbed her leg, a hint of fatigue flashing in her eyes.

Meng Wan glanced at her indifferently, then turned and left.

Ultimately, she wasn't familiar with Li Wanqing, so there was no need to ask so many questions.

Li Wanqing didn't try to stop her; she just stood there quietly, watching Meng Wan's figure gradually disappear into the distance.

Life is like a play, and everyone is a fleeting passerby. Everyone has their own story and troubles, so why force things?

After putting his things away, Cheng Baichuan drove directly to the entrance of the department store. He got out of the car and carefully helped Li Wanqing into the vehicle.

Li Wanqing didn't mention Meng Wan's matter; after all, they left the next day, so there was no need to bring it up again.

Back at the guesthouse, Li Wanqing had barely stepped inside when Meng Renjie sternly ordered her not to get out of bed.

The reason was that the wound on her leg had reopened due to outdoor activities, and it was oozing blood, which looked particularly shocking.

With a serious expression, Meng Renjie skillfully changed her dressing, while simultaneously giving Cheng Baichuan a severe scolding, his words filled with reproach and dissatisfaction: "How did you take care of her? Knowing she was injured, you still let her run around!"

Li Wanqing shrank her neck, like a frightened little bird, not daring to breathe.

For the first time, she realized that her usually gentle and refined uncle could be so frightening when he cursed, and his imposing aura made her feel somewhat intimidated.

"Uncle, I...I'm tired, I want to go to sleep first." Li Wanqing said cautiously, her voice trembling slightly.

She worried that if she remained silent, Cheng Baichuan might really be driven to despair by her uncle's scolding.

In that case, she would feel somewhat guilty, since it was her insistence on going out, and Cheng Baichuan simply couldn't persuade her otherwise.

Upon hearing this, Meng Renjie turned to look at her, his eyes still filled with obvious dissatisfaction, as if to say: I haven't finished scolding you yet!

Li Wanqing's heart skipped a beat, and she thought to herself: Had she really attracted all the firepower?

Fortunately, Meng Renjie did not continue to scold him. After changing the medicine, he said "Girls are more outgoing" in a bad mood and then turned and left.

Li Wanqing wanted to say that she wasn't outgoing at all; Cheng Baichuan was originally one of hers.

However, she dared not say this to Meng Renjie's face.

After all, her uncle was in a bad mood, and she didn't want to add fuel to the fire and invite an even harsher criticism.
